I was an immortal emperor in the Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 287
In Chang'an City, Yuan Shoucheng walked out of the palace slowly, with a strange look on his face.

He had just come out from Yang Guang's office. As the order of Huoshan, he actually had little power. He was in charge of the religious affairs of the Sui Dynasty. A monk who used magic to rape a woman was discovered by a passing monk.

This was originally a trivial matter. In the past, such things often happened in the Sui Dynasty, but now Yang Guang took it out, making people wonder, what is hidden here is his guess.

"Brother Lu, please stop." Yuan Shoucheng suddenly saw Lu Miaozi walking over with his sleeves fluttering, refreshed, and a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

Although Lu Miaozi is a mortal, his cultivation speed is very fast. In a few years, he has already reached the golden core cultivation base. All this is because the other party is a first-rank official. It was him, and so were the other first-rank members.This is what rank does.

As long as the luck of the Sui Dynasty is prosperous, these people will have such an effect when assisting the emperor, and his own volcano order is from a third-rank official, enjoying seven times the speed of practice, which is still a bit behind Lu Miaozi.

Look at the other party, even when he was walking, the aura of heaven and earth did not enter into the mud pellets, and turned into pure mana. It is rumored that His Majesty the Emperor is going to play the Emperor of Heaven and receive the starlight to practice.

"Master Yuan, what's the matter?" Lu Miaozi smiled.

Yuan Shoucheng quickly explained the matter, and then smiled wryly: "This is what the officials are good at, but this is only political affairs, and the officials are really powerless. Please enlighten me, Lord Lu."

Lu Miaozi laughed and couldn't help but said, "Master Yuan is so smart, has he forgotten how civil servants like me select talents?"

Although the civil servants of the Sui Dynasty were well-trained, they still depended on their literary talents. The military commanders not only looked at the level of mana, but also the art of war.All of this lies in the word "test".

"Examination?" Yuan Shoucheng was taken aback, and couldn't help but said, "Master Lu, who can enter Buddhism?" Yuan Shoucheng stopped talking immediately. Alarmed the emperor?
The reason is not this matter, but the major event behind it. The emperor wants to take action against the practice world, or to restrict the development of the other party.

What Buddhism emphasizes is "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately", "once you enter the Buddhist gate, all previous things will be forgotten".It means that no matter what you used to do, even if you are a world-class demon, as long as you put down the butcher knife in your hand, you can enter the Buddhist gate. As for what you are doing now, it has nothing to do with you. As long as you are willing, you can become a Buddhist disciple.Although Taoism is more demanding, in fact, almost, as long as you want, you can basically do it.

End the world, escape into Buddhism, or return to the mountains and forests.

But now it’s no longer possible. I want to be a monk or a Taoist priest. I’m sorry. First of all, I have to take an assessment, which blocks the way of many people at once. Except for those who study Buddhism and Taoism painstakingly, who else can do it? Those who pass the exam, should those butchers and killers be allowed to take the exam?You who are proficient in the mysteries of Buddhist and Taoist classics, I am afraid that it is not an easy thing to pass the exam!
The emperor wants to restrict Buddhism and Taoism!

Yuan Shoucheng didn't believe that Lu Miaozi thought up this matter alone, and there must be the emperor's thoughts behind it.

"Hey, Buddhism and Taoism, this is not for me to embarrass you, this is what the emperor asked me to do, who knows how you offended the emperor. Now you have suffered a lot. If you fail the exam, you will not have a degree. If you don't have a degree, you will not be able to Become a Buddhist and Taoist." Yuan Shoucheng's face showed a look of complacency.

This is why Buddhism and Taoism have prosperous luck. Among them, monks account for half, but folk incense is still very important.Yang Guang's move had a great impact on both Buddhism and Taoism.

However, for Yuan Shoucheng, all this happened to be the result he wanted.

"Ding! You read Yuan Shoucheng's "Great Sui Duyi Examination and Evaluation Book" and gained three days of mana."

Yang Guang didn't care about a trickle like a strand of hair sinking into the purple mansion. It's better than nothing. Now all the officials in the court are like this. Every memorial can get three days of mana.

One year's mana can be obtained almost every day, which is equivalent to one day of practice in the heavenly realm, and overall it is very good.But there is still less imagination with Yang Guang.What he needs is a lot of mana to support his breakthrough. When he reaches the golden fairy realm, every small realm improvement is very difficult.

"Sure." Yang Guang wrote a word on it with a Chinese ink brush.

There are not only the evaluation system, but also the evaluation methods, etc. Like the imperial examination, there is a limit to the number of monks and priests every year. Only after passing the exam can you get a degree certificate. If you don’t have a degree certificate, you can only be a fake and be arrested. After that, they will be sent to prison to stay.

"The ancient Buddha who burns the lamp, this is your karma. Even if you are superior, so what? Can you still kill me?" Yang Guang put the memorial aside and said: "The decree of the Great Sui Dynasty, the affairs of Buddhism and Taoism follow According to Yuan Shoucheng's actions, Yuan Shoucheng will meet with the Ministry of Rites to determine the grades, and the titles of these people will be determined according to their respective grades, and each grade will have to be tested."

The servants below did not dare to neglect, and quickly took the memorial.

As you can imagine, this is a huge project. For Buddhism and Taoism, there are good things and bad things.To get to the bottom of the matter, select the real Taoist masters and eminent monks to be respected, and those monks and Taoist priests who pretend to be fake will be driven out of their respective sects.

Of course, how the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism will react to this is no longer within the scope of Yang Guang's consideration. At least, in the mortal world, those Buddhism and Taoism schools must obey his own arrangements.

"Tell Yuan Shoucheng, think of a way, the officials of the imperial court can check their identities at any time, Buddhism and Taoism, especially Buddhism, not just a cat or a dog, can become a disciple of the Buddha." Yang Guang's voice was calm, and he didn't notice it at all. After a decree is issued, what kind of consequences will it have on the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism.

Strict, strict, and stricter.

Soon, an imperial decree was sent from Chang'an City to all parts of the country, causing an uproar all over the world.

In the Western Lingshan Mountain, the water in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool was boiling endlessly, shrouded in colorful auspicious light, and the water in the pool could be seen to drop with the naked eye. After waiting for a while, the water in the pool returned to normal. If you look carefully, the water in the pool has dropped by more than [-]%.

"World Honored One, my luck in Buddhism has dropped sharply." Venerable Kassapa looked flustered.

"Amitabha, the big waves wash the sand, and the one who can stay is the most suitable." The wisdom eyes of the Tathagata Buddha swept across the three realms, and finally landed on the dragon above Chang'an City. There was an inexplicable look in the wisdom eyes.

In Dachitian, in Bajing Palace, the Taiqing sage looked indifferent, in Yuqing Wonderland, Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly, only in Zixiao Palace, Tongtian Sect Master laughed.
