Yan Hao said confidently: "I will ask the best teacher to teach him. In the future, my Xing'er will definitely be a talent!"

Tong Su approached Yan Hao's arms happily, with crescent moons in his eyes.

Chapter 386 See you, Tuxian

"Your Majesty, Master Tuxian is asking for an audience." Yan Hao walked out of Xiangyun Palace, and Li Fuhai reported.

"Huh?" Yan Hao was taken aback. Although Master Tuxian lived in the palace, he never cared much about the secular world. He didn't expect that he would take the initiative to ask for an audience today.

Yan Hao respected this Buddhist master very much, and immediately met him in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Amitabha, Your Majesty is in good health." Tu Xian clasped his hands together and said to Yan Hao when he saw Yan Hao.

"Master Tuxian, you can go to the Three Treasure Hall for everything."

Tu Xian said: "The old monk is here today, just at the request of Master Fayan, the abbot of Tuoku Temple, to remind His Majesty."

"Oh? Master Tuxuan, please tell me." Yan Hao invited Tuxuan to sit down.

Tu Xian asked, "Does Your Majesty know the state religion of the Xiongnu and Rouran?"

"I know, isn't it shamanism? What's the matter?" Yan Hao wondered why Tu Xian asked this.

"Your Majesty, you know that after the Huns and Rouran immigrants from outside the pass entered the pass, shamanism spread on a large scale in the pass. If things go on like this, I am afraid that my Buddhism and Taoism will all be subordinated to shamanism."

"What!" Yan Hao said in surprise.

Compared with Buddhism and Taoism, Shamanism is a relatively primitive polytheism that worships ancestors and totems, and mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, sun, moon and stars can all be gods.He didn't expect such a primitive sect to become popular in Guan.Could it be that foreign monks really like to chant scriptures?

"Your Majesty, Fa Yan entrusted me to tell His Majesty about this matter. As for the twists and turns, Your Majesty has to judge for yourself." Not very caring, purely just selling old friends as a favor.

Tu Xian didn't care much, but Yan Hao was very touched.The popularity of shamanism is, at a small scale, a matter of folk belief, but at a large scale, it is a matter of cultural orthodoxy.If Shamanism replaces Buddhism and Taoism to become the sect with the largest number of believers, it is equivalent to the Central Plains culture giving way to the grassland culture here.

Yan Hao then nodded and said: "Okay, I understand, and I would like to thank Master for reminding me. I just don't know what relationship you have with Master Fa Yan?"

Tu Xian smiled and said, "Fa Yan is the old monk's nephew."

Yan Hao was amazed again, the seniority of this Tuxian is really terrifying, even the abbot of Kuchanyuan is older than him!

During the conversation, a clear voice came from outside the hall: "Old slave Guizhen, come to visit an old friend!"

Yan Hao hurriedly asked his servants to invite Gui Zhen in.This guardian of the palace has been guarding Miyagi in obscurity, making people in the rivers and lakes respectful and far away from here, and also taught the court such a high-level student as Kui Jiang, who won the first prize in the world's number one martial arts meeting. Such an old man Master Yan Hao admired him very much in his heart.

"Master Gui Zhen is safe and sound!" Yan Hao clasped his fists and said.

Gui Zhen hurriedly said: "The emperor has broken this old slave!"

Tu Xian also nodded slightly to Gui Zhen.

Guizhen smiled and said, "Master Tuxian, do you still remember me?"

Tu Xian showed a puzzled expression, and couldn't think of any intersection between himself and this mysterious guardian.

Gui Zhen said: "It's normal that the master doesn't remember me. When I was a third-rate character in the world, the master was already famous all over the world. When I visited the Kuchanyuan to seek martial arts, I heard the master's Dharma."

"Amitabha, it's all good fate." Tu Xian put his hands together and said.

"Master Guizhen, is there peace in the world recently? How will the deacon appointed by our court do?" Yan Hao asked.

Since the establishment of the Deacon Council on that day, Dongchang has become the main body leading the Deacon Council. The four masters of the rivers, lakes and seas have all become enshrined in the Dongchang. Any important decisions will still be indispensable to his staff.

Gui Zhen said: "I came here this time, on the one hand, it happened that Master Tuxian is here, on the other hand, I came to inform His Majesty that two more masters from Dongchang have broken through to the top level."

"With the martial arts cheats of the seven sects, and the imperial court itself providing a steady stream of resources, the quantity and quality of Dongchang masters has improved compared with the No. More power to speak."

"It's so good." Yan Hao said gratifiedly, "How about the Devil's Cult, but they are still fighting fiercely against the Righteous Way?"

Gui Zhen said: "The strange thing is that the Devil's Cult seems to have disappeared recently. The deacon's several actions to eliminate the Demon's Cult have all come to nothing. This old slave is wondering if the Demon's Cult is planning some kind of conspiracy."

Yan Hao said: "Don't worry, the soldiers will block the water and cover it with earth! What's more, the Demon Cult is fighting against the seven sects. We just watch from the sidelines."

"Your Majesty is right." Gui Zhen nodded.

After that, Yan Hao chatted with the two master masters for a few more words, and the two finally bid farewell.

After Gui Zhen and Tu Xian left, Yan Hao immediately invited Wang Meng to discuss shamanism.

Chapter 387 The Wheel of History

Wang Meng thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is actually not difficult to solve."

"Oh? What's your opinion, Ai Qing?"

Wang Meng said: "The reason why Shamanism has spread rapidly is because the imperial court has never interfered with the affairs of the various sects. If the imperial court takes action to support one of the sects as the state religion, the other sects will naturally not be able to compete for the orthodox position."

Yan Hao said: "That's right, Ai Qing is right."

"However, if we want to support the national religion, I am afraid that Buddhism and Taoism can be used as alternatives. I don't know which one we should choose?"

Wang Meng smiled and asked, "Which one do you think is more suitable, Your Majesty?"

Yan Hao said: "Taoism is better. Buddhism was introduced from a foreign country in the south, and it is still a foreign religion at its root. It is not as good as Taoism, which was born and raised in our Great Wei Dynasty, and is more suitable as orthodoxy."

Wang Meng said: "My minister thinks that maybe Buddhism is a better choice. Although Taoism has a deep foundation in our country, there are many sects and factions. It is very difficult to unify."

More importantly, Taoism's thoughts are too profound and profound, and it is difficult for everyone in China to understand.On the contrary, Buddhist thought is simple to learn at first, but it has infinite mysteries if you want to go deep. It is both shallow and deep, and it is easy to be accepted by foreign nations.Your Majesty will conquer the world in the future, and Buddhism should be the most suitable for establishing a great state religion. "

"If your Majesty is worried that Buddhism was not developed in China in the Great Wei Dynasty, and there may be hidden dangers in the future, I have a solution. Why not set up another mountain now, change the sect and establish a religion, and combine the Buddhism of the Great Wei Dynasty with the Peacock Empire and Sri Buddha Kingdom. In this way, His Majesty will be the founder of my Chinese Buddhism in the future, and will be praised by thousands of people in the future, and His Majesty's prestige will be further improved!"

Yan Hao's eyes lit up after hearing this: "This method is good, this method is good!"

As soon as he heard Wang Meng's statement, he understood that this was the legendary "divine right of kings"!Borrowing the fusion of theocracy and monarchy to further amplify the power of secular monarchs.In this way, the king can not only use religious power to consolidate his position, but also influence and manipulate religion through secular power, so as to achieve the unity of politics and religion and the lofty status of supremacy of monarchy.In the Middle Ages in Europe, many great emperors ruled by powers did this!

Another advantage of doing this is that it can quickly integrate the conquered nation into the conqueror nation.After all, religion is the easiest place for a national culture to break through.Just imagine, it is a long process for conquered areas to accept new emperors, new living habits, and new cultural history, but as long as the publicity is obtained, it is much easier to change beliefs.

And once the faith and the monarchy are integrated, wouldn't changing the sect mean accepting the new imperial power?

"Okay, then do as Aiqing said!" Yan Hao immediately dictated an imperial decree to Wang Meng, ordering the Taichang Temple to be responsible for the sect conversion and splitting of Buddhism, requiring the establishment of a new Buddhist belief system to distinguish it from the original Buddhism, especially Establish the supremacy of the monarchy.

Yan Hao also borrowed the terminology from the earth and named the converted Buddhism "Mahayana Buddhism".

The conversion of Buddhism caused great repercussions, and even suppressed the limelight of the literary inquisition.

Taichang Temple organizes famous scholars who are proficient in Buddhism and philosophy from Jingshi University Hall, Longtu Pavilion and universities all over the country to participate in the formulation of new Mahayana Buddhist classics.

At the same time, Lu Ming was also entrusted by Yan Hao to design a new type of Buddhist temple that was similar to the original Buddhist temple, but also had the distinctive features of the Chinese nation.Yan Hao was very satisfied after seeing Lu Ming's design, and immediately handed it over to the general supervisor to rebuild, rebuild, and build new Buddhist temples and pagodas in the Wei Dynasty.

In fact, when Yan Hao completed the task of "480 temples", he built Buddhist temples on a large scale, but that time it was just to complete the task, which was nothing compared to the mobilization of the whole people this time.Nowadays, with the support of the imperial court, Buddhism is prevalent throughout the Wei Dynasty. People come to worship Buddha and burn incense in temples.
