Subverted This is the Emperor Chat Group

"And you can also throw Mencius out of the temple. This is called suppressing theocracy."

"On the other hand, Wu Zetian is the god of Songshan, proclaiming to the gods of heaven and earth and the people that he is above all gods and Buddhas, and has the qualifications to be a god."

"This is the real suppression of theocracy!"

"Why can't I see that Emperor Sui suppressed divine power?"

Zhu Di and the others also frowned and pondered, they found no evidence at all to prove that Emperor Sui suppressed theocracy.

Execute the prosperous hero of your ten clans:

"Chen Tong, it's not that I want to wear small shoes for you."

"It's because your logic really went wrong this time!"

"Emperor Sui not only did not suppress divine power, but also relaxed the pace of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to destroy Buddhism after he came to power."

"This is obviously supporting theocracy, which is completely contrary to what you said?"

Chen Tong laughed.

Chen Tong:

"Who told you that there is only one way to suppress theocracy?

Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang started from the Wu Temple, which is a way to suppress theocracy.

This way is to use imperial power to judge theocracy, thereby denying the authority of theocracy.

Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty actually used this method to exterminate Buddhism.

It is to declare to everyone that the imperial power can issue a ruling on the divine power, so as to prove that the divine power is not supreme, but is bound by the imperial power.

The second situation is Wu Zetian's simple and rude way.

She directly enshrined Songshan as a god.

what is this?

This is fundamentally explaining the source of theocracy.

How did theocracy come about?

It’s not the so-called gods above.

But I, Wu Zetian, granted you.

Then how can your theocracy override the imperial power?

I don't even need to judge you, which fundamentally negates the possibility that your divine power is greater than imperial power.

These are two ways to suppress theocracy.

But it doesn't mean that there are only these two kinds in the world.

Then there is a third.

That is to make different theocracy compete with each other, and then make them all prostrate under the imperial power.

Serving the imperial power.

This is the third way, which is to use the vertical and horizontal methods and checks and balances to let the theocracy fight each other.

The Sui Emperor chose the third option.

He directly regarded theocracy as a tool for him to rule the people. "

It was so!

Chongzhen's eyes widened, feeling that his views had been refreshed once again.

He didn't expect that different people used different methods to suppress theocracy.

Self-hanging southeast branch:

"I didn't expect that there are three ways to suppress theocracy."

"The first one was used by Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, using imperial power to judge divine power."

"The second method was used by Wu Zetian, which is to fundamentally deny the supremacy and uniqueness of theocracy."

"The third is actually to want the theocracy to fight each other, so as to voluntarily serve the imperial power."

"If you want to rank the three methods."

"Then Wu Zetian's method of suppressing theocracy is undoubtedly the simplest and most brutal, but also the most severe,"

"It's a fundamental denial of the authority of theocracy."

"The next step is the way Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang used imperial power to judge theocratic power."

"The third type used by Emperor Sui in the end should be the weakest among them."

Zhu Di nodded again and again, this little stupid man's analysis was right, it was obvious.

Even his son Zhu Gaoxu probably knows which of these three methods of suppressing theocracy is strong and which is weak.

In terms of difficulty of operation, Wu Zetian's is definitely the most difficult, and the effect is definitely the best.

Of course, the price paid is also the greatest.

Execute the prosperous hero of your ten clans:

"In that case, Emperor Sui really suppressed divine power?"

Zhu Wen sneered with eyes full of eyes.

bad guy:

"According to what you said, even an emperor suppressed divine power!"

"After all, let Buddhism and Taoism fight, every dynasty and every generation."

"And in the future dynasties, there will be not only Buddhism and Taoism, but also Confucianism!"

Chen Tong scoffed.

Chen Tong:

"Who told you that every dynasty and generation of emperors suppressed theocracy?

Isn't this bullshit?

It can be said that although Emperor Sui's method seems to be easy to use.

But I'm sorry, there are really not many of them! "

Zhu Wen's lungs were about to explode at this moment.

This semester, Chen Tong also played a rogue by himself?

Nima!

Tolerable or unbearable.

bad guy:

"When other emperors were in power, Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism competed. Isn't this serving the emperor?"

"How did it come into the hands of the Sui Emperor, and this became the Sui Emperor's suppression of theocracy?"

"Let's not talk about anything else, isn't Li Shimin also vigorously developing Taoism?"

"Does this also mean that Li Shimin overwhelmed the divine power?"

At this moment, Yang Guang's eyes were full of sneers.

The infrastructure madman, the eternal ruthless king:

"what are you thinking?"

"It's also Li Shimin's suppression of theocracy, as long as you have a peanut, you can't be drunk like this?"

"During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the only ones who really suppressed theocracy were the Sui emperors besides Wu Zetian."

"Even Yang Guang is not qualified enough, you still say Li Shimin?"

"What a joke!"

Zhu Wen is going crazy at this moment, but Li Shimin's face is very ugly, who is he looking down on?

He didn't want to speak at first, but Yang Guang was so aggressive.

Then he had to say it.

Eternal Li Erming Lord Sinner:

"Let's talk about the facts, why Li Shimin's development of Taoism is not suppressing theocracy,"

"And the Sui Emperor developed Taoism, so that is to suppress theocracy?"

"You are more and more people feel the double standard!"

At this moment, Liu Bang, Empress Lu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and others are staring at the chat group with great interest, and they like to see you argue like this.

Not all the ones who killed the white snake were Xu Xian's deceitful sage:

"Chen Tong, just tell them why!"

"Otherwise, at the level of some people, it would be impossible for him to understand it in his entire life."

Chen Tong laughed, this is the most important part of analyzing the problem.

Because many things are similar, many people simply don't understand how he classifies and classifies them.

Chen Tong:

"Why do you say that Li Shimin did not suppress theocracy?

This reason is not too simple!

Because he is pleasing the divine right.

He himself writes Emperor Fan, and his wife, the eldest grandson, empress writes women's rules. What is this for?

Isn't it just to flatter Confucianism?

This is putting imperial power under theocracy!
