Magic world

Song Que's mundane affairs were very simple. They mainly consisted of a few things. One of them was to summon all members of the Song family to declare their allegiance to the Great China Empire in public, so that the Great China Empire could achieve substantial unification.

The second is to announce his abdication and appoint Song Shidao as the next head of the Song family. Song Zhi will fully assist him and others will not be able to resist.

The third is to follow what Ito Cheng said and what Song Que wanted, to announce that Song Yuzhi will enter the palace in three months and be a concubine! Song Yuzhi, who had been prepared for this, had a calm expression, as if the conversation was not about her life-long event, and did not express any opinions.

The fourth is to select more than half of the members of the Song family from among all the members of the Song family, based on the possibility of stabbing him after breaking through the air, the possibility of causing trouble, or other considerations, mixed with a small group of elites and set off with the warrant left by Ito Cheng Military camps in various places, join the army in the expedition to the Western Regions and serve the country.

Under Song Que's intimidation, they naturally didn't have any objections and set off honestly.

As for the last one, what is surprising and reasonable is that when Song Que and Fan Qinghui met, they completely cut off the last strand of love hidden in their hearts and reached a state of completeness.

During this period, Ito Cheng, who had obtained Song Que's consent, also used the intelligence channels of himself, the Yin Kui Sect, and Cihang Jingzhai to spread the news that he was going to compete with Song Que throughout the world, so that everyone could come to watch the ceremony, and take this opportunity to express his gratitude to Song Que. The world shows its strength.

Therefore, in order to achieve satisfactory results, Ito Cheng and Song Que suppressed the time of the competition to the day of November 5th of the Destiny Year, and the location was Lingnan!

"Your Majesty, Louguan Taoist Yan Da, Zhengdao Ning Daoqi, Maoshan Taoist Zhen Wenzu, Zhenwenzu Zuoyouxian, Pixuan, Jingnian Zenyuan Kongkong, Cihangjingzhai Fanqinghui, Tiantai Zongzhizhi, Sanlunzong Jiaxiang, Huayan Zongdi Xin, Daoxin of Shaolin Temple, Zhu Yuyan of Yinkui Sect, Hou Xibai of Huajian Sect, current Taoist priests Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng, university scholar Wang Tong, Hanlin waiting call Li Boyan, Minister of Rites Kong Quanru, left minister of Hubu Fang Xuanling, right minister Du Ruhui, minister of punishment Liu Degui, consultant Pei Ju (Shi Zhixuan) and others have arrived and are waiting for the summons outside the palace." On this day, when Ito Chenghui closed his eyes and rested, a young eunuch entered the imperial study and reported to Ito Chenghui who was sitting on the chair. [

Let’s not talk about how many of their names are famous far and wide, but just talk about the name of their sect in front of their names. and current position. Any one you take out can shock thousands of people, but now they are all gathered here, which shows how serious the matter to be discussed this time is!

"Xuan." Ito Cheng said quietly.

"Xuan, Taoist priests Yan Da, Ning Daoqi, Zhen Wenzu, Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng, Zuo Youxian, Pixuan. Monk Lingkong, Zhizhi, Jiaxiang, Emperor Xin, Daoxin, nun Fan Qinghui, Zhu Yuyan, Hou Xi Bai, all the ministers are here to meet you." The little eunuch shouted loudly.

Everyone outside the hall gathered together in their own way. With a solemn expression, he followed the young eunuch into the empty imperial study.

"Pindao (a poor monk and a commoner) has met Your Majesty." Everyone saluted as they called themselves.

"Sit." Ito Cheng said quietly, pointing to the chair arranged in advance in the study.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone thanked him in unison. Everyone found a place to sit down.

Among them, the Buddhists and a group of people who are related to the Buddhists sit together, the Taoist and the people who are close to the Taoist sit together, and the rest are unrelated. The ministers who only care about the affairs at hand sit casually between the two groups, regardless of whether they are Buddha or Tao.

After sitting down, none of these guys with Buddhist and Taoist backgrounds took the initiative to speak, and looked like they were meditating and calming down.

"I wonder what your Majesty is waiting for this time..." Fang Xuanling was very discerning and knew how to step down for the emperor, so she said.

That's right, it's Fang Xuanling. After destroying Li Tang's forces, Ito gathered all the famous historical ministers who were in the Zitiance Mansion, and based on their respective historical evaluations, they either directly surrendered or were hypnotized and thrown to the front line. Or maybe hypnosis was kept around, so people like Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Hou Junji, Hongfu Nu, and Wei Zheng, who was originally with Li Jiancheng, etc., all became Ito Cheng's subordinates.

"The purpose of convening you and other laymen this time is very simple. I want to rectify the religion." Ito Cheng's eyes swept over the group of Buddhas and Taoists who seemed to be in trance one by one.

As soon as this statement came out, except for Zhu Yuyan, Fan Qinghui, the transformed Liao Kong, Hou Xibai, and Shi Zhixuan who pretended to be Pei Ju, the famous historical minister who split the Turks, who had been prepared for this, there was nothing to show. Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and they listened attentively.

"I wonder how Your Majesty wants to change it." Emperor Xin, known as the holy monk, asked.

"Taxes are paid in temples and temples, land is limited, and all personnel must be registered from their registered place of origin! In addition, registered monks and Taoists must undergo an official unified examination and certification. Those who pass the test can retain their Buddhist and Taoist place of origin, and those who fail are forced to return to secular life. If there are past criminals among them, Anyone who wants to become a monk, a Taoist, or a nun must hold a written deed from the temple, the official, the family, and himself, otherwise he will not be allowed to be naturalized!" Ito Cheng said in a sonorous tone. [

If the faces of those who had changed between Buddhism and Taoism were just solemn before, now their expressions were serious, and they were all frowning and silent.

"Your Majesty's request is really embarrassing for us." Zhen Wenzu said with a bitter smile.

"Furthermore, Your Majesty knows that most of the disciples in the temple's temple tower are orphans. Doesn't such a forced implementation mean that they will be dependent on them for life and commit crimes along the way?" Zhizhi said.

When these two people opened their mouths, except for Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng, Ning Daoqi, Yan Da, Liao Kong, Fan Qinghui, Zuo Youxian, and Pi Chen, everyone else spoke one by one, and some even spoke. In that moment, Buddhism and Taoism joined forces to resist official rule.

"The only reason why I summoned you here this time is not to discuss with you, but simply to announce my decision to you. As for what you think and how you relate to me, as long as I find out who among you resists, I will definitely send a large army to destroy them and will never tolerate them." Ito Cheng said with a cold face as he looked at the few people talking in the field.

"Does Your Majesty want to risk the injustice of the world and provoke a civil uprising?" Jiaxiang said with a kind look on his face.

"Is it a threat?" Ito Cheng was full of murderous aura. He pressed directly towards Jiaxiang and said coldly, "You can try it and see which one is faster, my hands or yours."

As soon as this scene appeared, the four holy monks who were one body immediately started to stir up their true energy, looking like they were ready to fight at any time.

"Your Majesty, I, Cihang Jingzhai, am willing to accept rectification." Seeing that the situation was about to escalate, Fan Qinghui couldn't help but speak to calm the tense atmosphere in the room.

Hearing Fan Qinghui's words, the four holy monks who were about to start the fight were immediately stunned. They looked at Fan Qinghui in disbelief, who lowered his head and did not look at them. They couldn't understand where Fan Qinghui's muscles were wrong.

"I, Jing Nian Chan Monastery, second the proposal." But before the four great saintly monks could recover, they spoke in silence.

"I really agree with your Majesty's opinion." Then Zuo Youxian and Bichen also said.

"You, you..." As for Zuo Youxian and Bichen, although they can represent a branch of Taoism, they have nothing to do with the Four Great Sages. However, Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Chanyuan are different, and they are almost ignored by them. The disciples of Buddhism have become a holy place, so the four holy monks who came back to their senses were trembling and pointed at Liao Kong, who had his eyes closed, and Fan Qinghui, whose eyes were slightly drooped, and were speechless in anger.

On the side, Zhu Yuyan, who was happy to see the internal strife in the Buddhist sect, Hou Xibai, Zuo Youxian, Pixuan and other members of the demon sect all looked at the internal strife staged by the Buddhist sect with smiles on their faces.

"This matter will be jointly implemented by the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Rites. I will send someone to deliver the specific operation plan to you later." Looking at the angry four holy monks, some were stunned and didn't know what to do. Ito Cheng from Lou Guandao, Maoshan Sect and others looked at Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other ministers and said.

"Yes." Several ministers looked at each other and stood up.

"If you are treating yourself like this, you will cut off yourselves. I hope that I will not be allowed to raise another military front in China. That would not be good for anyone." Ito Cheng stood up and said. After saying that, he ignored the reactions of others and directly activated teleportation to disappear from the royal study, taking the opportunity to once again shock these two religions who, according to past practice, would definitely be able to carry out assassinations.

"Dao Zhang Ning, Dao Zhang Yan, Dao Zhang Zhen, Dao Zhang Yuan, Dao Zhang Li, I wonder if you can take a step to talk?" While everyone was shocked by Ito Cheng's methods, Shi Zhixuan, who transformed into Pei Ju, came to the four of them and said.

Several Taoist priests looked at each other, nodded, and followed Pei Ju, Zuo Youxian and Bichen, who followed him, to leave the Imperial Study Room, exit the palace and enter a large house that temporarily transformed into the Pei Mansion, and sat down one by one.

"I wonder what Mr. Pei wants to talk to me about?" Zhen Wenzu, who couldn't hold his tongue, asked.

"About Taoism." Pei Ju smiled.

"Taoism?" Ning Daoqi and others said with curiosity and a little caution.

"Yes, Taoism." Pei Ju nodded and confirmed, then chuckled and said, "Actually, His Majesty himself does not have as much aversion to Taoism as Buddhism. It can even be said that he still has a certain favorable impression. It's just how to make this The goodwill continues, which is the purpose of Pei's meeting with several people this time."

The people present were all smart people. After hearing this, they still didn’t understand that the Taoist matter had changed. Even Pei Ju’s visit to them this time might have been arranged by the emperor, so at this time, everyone’s expressions changed and they became solemn. He said in a loud voice, "Please ask Mr. Pei to help me."

Pei Ju smiled slightly and told the Taoist priests present one by one according to the method told by Ito Cheng.

"This..." After listening to Pei Ju's story, Ning Daoqi, Yan Da, Li Chunfeng, Yuan Tiangang, and Zhen Wenzu looked at each other, feeling a little difficult to make a decision.
