The Great Explosion of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 250 Religious Thoughts

Human nature tends to profit, or in other words, it is self-interested.When things happen, they often satisfy their own needs before considering the interests of others, organizations or the country.It is the selfless devotees who are so precious.

It is better to lure it with profit than to force it with force.Through the guidance of normal interests, Peng Yue should spontaneously learn Chinese and Han people's customs, and gradually give up their original customs and culture. This is a matter of subtle influence.It's just that Shi Hui still can't find a stable and easy-to-control belief. If religion is something he can do, he doesn't intend to get involved.

But when it comes to the destruction of civilization, nothing is more useful than religion!Whether it is Buddhism, Christianity or a certain religion, they are all spread on the basis of destroying other civilizations. Among the three religions, only Buddhism is slightly less corrosive.

In contrast, ancient Egyptian civilization, ancient Greek civilization, and ancient Norse civilization all disappeared completely in the torrent of history along with the spread of the other two religions.What these two sects pursue is not the coexistence of civilizations at all, but to implement the Buddhist verse in Buddhism: "Heaven and earth, I am the only one!"

"Existing Taoism...Tianshijiao, Taipingjiao, and Langyegong... Tianshijiao is famous for ghosts. Although it can be regarded as orthodox Taoism in later generations, it is also a relationship that does not exist in other sects. The combination of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism in later generations, From the Manichaeism to the White Lotus Sect, and even a certain skill in modern times, there are more or less shadows of ghosts, and Japanese Onmyojis actually come from this lineage.

The Taiping Sect is like a mouse crossing the street, and it is estimated that Lao Cao can allow them to believe.With his own identity and status, it is very problematic to openly support the Taiping Sect, although there are two remnants of the Taiping Sect, Li Ji and Yeluzhu, under his command.The teachings of Langye Palace are similar to the Taiping Sect, and Yu Ji's influence is also sufficient, maybe..." Shi Hui considered the teachings of the three sects, and the only way to prevent being eroded by other civilizations is to develop the religion of this civilization.

There are also certain problems in contacting the world too early. For example, Christianity has already been established. If it spreads to the mainland because of this, a certain emperor later takes a fancy to it and develops it. Maybe in the end China will directly become the territory of Christianity, and instead it will appear in the Middle Ages.Even because of Christianity, Buddhism and Taoism were completely wiped out, and whether Chinese civilization can still exist is also a question of the need for Shi Hui.After all, no one can stop it, a certain emperor will twitch his head like that.

"Although it's not an issue that needs to be considered now..." Shi Hui sighed, maybe he was a little unfounded?
"My lord, the situation is so good now, why are you still sighing?" Seeing this, Fang Xuanling couldn't help being a little puzzled, what was not doing well enough, which made Shi Hui so helpless.

"It's nothing, it's just some considerations, and I don't know how to implement it." Shi Hui smiled. These subordinates are too sensitive, and he can think so much with just a sigh.

"If it's something beneficial to the lord, why don't you say it and let me go into it later?" Fang Xuanling recommended himself.

"Alright, to be honest, this is not something that needs to be worried about now, it's just some of my opinions... This is how things are, what do you think?" Shi Hui expressed his opinion, of course he didn't talk about foreign sects.

After all, a certain religion doesn't exist at all, and maybe I won't let it appear at all!

"Religion, things like five buckets of rice or the Taiping religion...Why does my lord value this thing called 'faith' so much?" Fang Xuanling was a little puzzled, "Even if there is no such thing as Taoism or Buddhism, we always focus on the belief of our ancestors , Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Nu Wa or Wu Zu, etc., when it comes to our ancestors, this is our most original belief, why should we look far away?"

"Ancestral belief?" Shi Hui suddenly remembered, it seemed that there was such a thing.

Even in later generations, it is normal to worship famous civil servants and military generals in history and shape them into gods to worship.For example, Fan Li, Li Guizu and Bigan, the gods of wealth and wealth; Jiang Shang, Zhao Gongming and Guan Yu, the gods of wealth and wealth.

It can even create a heaven-like existence, put the three emperors and five emperors into it, and become an independent sect, independent of Taoism, it is not impossible!

"That's true, I'm indeed a bit far away!" Thinking of this, Shi Hui couldn't help laughing, it seemed that he actually had some problems.Obviously it is Taoism that integrates ancestor beliefs into it, but it naturally regards these as inherent in Taoism.

Taoism has been able to survive forever, mainly because of the ancestor belief contained in it.With a history of 5000 years in China, the inheritance of blood is particularly important, especially the promotion of benevolence and filial piety for 2000 years, so it is natural to respect the ancestors the most.It is here that Taoism can still contend against the rampant Buddhism.

Christianity can't get along here in Huaxia, and it's also because of the fact that Christianity itself prohibits believers from sacrificing ancestors.

"The key is to perfect the transaction. Taoism is just a concept, and then Taoism emerges after integration. It is estimated that it is better to deal with people who have studied religion. Maybe you can ask Li Ji, and then select a group of loyal people. Create this religion, so that it will be convenient to control this new sect!" Fang Xuanling suggested.

At the beginning, the big Han didn't hold the Taiping Sect in his hands and let him confuse the people, so there was a Taiping Sect chaos.The Five Dou Rice Religion in Hanzhong was gradually controlled by the Zhang family as it was not controlled.Now that the Five Dou Rice Sect has been controlled by the puppet dynasty, as for the follow-up, it depends on how they deal with it. At least Zhang Lu has no official position, so he can only preach obediently.

"Even if people who believe in religion are not allowed to become officials, and those who become officials are not allowed to believe in religion, who can guarantee that some children were forced to believe in religion by their families when they were young, and when they grow up, they want to become officials but are turned away... Or they hide their beliefs and become officials, secretly giving Various conveniences for religion." Shi Hui also had his considerations.

"This is the issue of supervision. The county governors and subordinate officials should strengthen the supervision in this area. If the Lord thinks it is necessary, how about setting up a post dedicated to religious management like the city management?" Fang Xuanling suggested.

Isn't that the Bureau of Religious Affairs?Hearing this, Shi Hui couldn't help but think of this department. He remembered that there was this department, but he didn't know what the specific powers were. It was probably to count the number of temples, register and manage religious people...

With an idea, Shi Hui found Li Ji. Anyway, the latter has nothing to do in the short term, and the affairs in the army are not as many as imagined.Hearing that Shi Hui was going to attack religion and create a brand new sect, he couldn't help being surprised at first.

Then he weighed it and found that it has many wonderful uses, and he admires Shi Hui's vision.It's just that the belief of ancestors is not comparable to Taoism. Taoism still has academics as its theory, but ancestors come from the call of blood.

"Is it possible to create a similar teaching based on the Six Realms of Reincarnation and Heaven and Hell? Learn from the teachings or academics of Wudoumi or the Taiping Sect." Shi Hui suggested.

"Dare to ask my lord, where do the six reincarnations, heaven and hell exist?" Li Ji was very interested when he heard it for the first time.

Shi Hui explained his understanding, but the Heavenly Court was changed into a fairyland where the ancestors lived. Believers who accumulate virtue and do good deeds can go to the Heavenly Court and return to their ancestors after death.

"My lord's idea is very good, but my subordinate probably needs to discuss it with Yeluzhu. His understanding of this aspect is more thorough than that of his subordinates. I am ashamed to say that at my level, I can only fool ordinary people. " Li Ji said ashamedly.

"Well, how about granting you a two-month vacation?" Shi Hui immediately agreed.
