I came to this world to enlighten the gods

Chapter 148: Ten Thousand Immortals Conference
Outside the Qifu Palace was originally a place where the emperor temporarily summoned his ministers. After Li Qing took over Xiangyang, it was changed to the Six Division Yamen, with more guards, and became the ruling center of Jing, Yi, Jiao and Guangzhou.

It was cleared out in a remote courtyard in the southeast. This is where the Daolu Department's Yamen is located. Because of its special duties, it deliberately stays away from the Sixth Department's Yamen.

Li Qing led Lu Yan into the freshly painted yamen, and there were already clerks working inside. It can be said that everything was ready and it was owed to Lu Yan, the supervisor, to take up the post.

"Currently the Sixth Division is in charge of the third-rank government office, the Jinyiwei is the fourth-rank government office, and the Daolu department is equal to the Ghost Banning Department. It is temporarily the fifth-rank government office. Due to the great resistance in the early stage, the cooperation of the Jinyiwei is needed. For the time being, you will be appointed as the commander of the Jinyiwei to facilitate coordination. Work"

Lu Yan took the order to thank him. He was from a Confucian and Taoist family, and he had to respect his superiors when he recognized his lord. Moreover, it was an exception to be promoted from a fourth-rank official position just after joining the system, but he still had some doubts.

Seeing his hesitation, Li Qing asked, "But what else is there to hide?"

"I am very satisfied with the master's arrangement. It's just that I brought a lot of disciples this time. I'm not boasting. These disciples are at least talented in counties and counties. They just come from a humble background and have been living in the academy. I recommend them to the master." Lu Yan Said frankly.

Li Qing laughed out loud. No matter how far he develops, there is still a shortage of talents. Currently, he only occupies four states and it is difficult to conduct imperial examinations, so he can only adopt the election system. How can Lu Yan's disciples be mediocre?

"Don't worry, I will let the officials assess them as soon as possible, and I will make arrangements after I pass it." At this point, Li Qing paused and said: "It's just that the system here has been established, and promotion without merit is a taboo in the officialdom. System, no matter how talented you are, you have to start from the master book."

Lu Yan nodded: "It's good to have a master book to start."

At the beginning of any force, it is the fastest promotion stage. After the system is stable, it will not be easy to break through the promotion, unless the famous talent in the world, recruiting thousands of dollars to buy a horse bone, and Lu Yan is exactly this horse bone.

Walking into the main hall of the yamen, this place is similar to the usual yamen, except that it lacks a place for hearing cases, and on both sides are clerks who are dealing with the situation of Taoist temples reported from various places.

These must be collected and summarized for the new chief officer to inquire about.

Li Qing sat on the grand teacher's chair, and his own guards brought tea, took a sip and continued: "Daolu Division has a main seal and a deputy seal, you are the principal, and Youchang is the deputy. People are responsible for surveying achievements and distributing Daoist records. For the time being, you will choose and appoint the subordinate officials yourself.

Lu Yan's expression was moved. He thought that the lord was only slightly restricting the Taoist sect, but he didn't expect it to be completely governed. There are three levels of government, prefecture, county, and county. It can be described as terrifying.

From now on, there will be no freedom in Taoism!
On the surface, letting him select his own officials is to let him place his own disciples, but in fact it is to let him centralize his power and concentrate his strength when dealing with the resistance from various schools.

He even made him wear the title of Jinyiwei Tongzhi, and his firm determination was fully exposed.

Lu Yan pondered for a moment and said: "The lord's heart is exhausted, but there is still one thing that needs to be agreed by the lord, otherwise the minister will not dare to take office."

Li Qing nodded and said, "Ai Qing, please tell me."

As long as he can control the Taoist sect and give him some support, it doesn't matter, the premise is that he can't ask for too much, otherwise why would he appoint this person.

Lu Yan suddenly knelt down and said: "I heard that there is a saint in Yizhou named Honglian, and I want to use this person as the deputy seal official."

After hearing this, Li Qing's expression disappeared, and he looked at Lu Yan with deep meaning, and secretly admired in his heart, as expected of Mr. Dongyang. It can be seen from the clues that it is extraordinary.

Thinking about it carefully, Lu Yan's request is not unreasonable. People from the Taoist sect are crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and many of them possess spells. Being close to the soldiers and guards of the imperial court is not enough to catch them. Two or three cats are useless.

The Red Lotus Saintess is different. The ghosts and gods from all over the world know that this person is offering sacrifices to him, and they will sell her some face. With her assistance, they can borrow the power of ghosts, gods and ghost soldiers from all over the place.

Li Qing only agreed after a little deliberation: "I have agreed to this matter alone. If you encounter resistance in your actions in the future, you can ask for help from the Town God's Earth Temple in various places. I think it will be helpful."

"Thank you my lord"

Lu Yan hurriedly thanked him. Not only that, Li Qing also hinted that he could ask for help from the town gods and lands in various places in an emergency, and the speculation in his mind about the relationship between the lord and the ghosts and gods in various places was immediately confirmed.

Now that something happened here, Li Qing also had doubts about leaving. Before leaving, he seemed to have no intention of asking: "I heard that you once entered the Taoist sect to practice Taoism, but then you abandoned Taoism and returned home. I don't know why."

Lu Yan said frankly: "There is nothing unspeakable about this matter. When I was young, I admired the magic of immortality, thinking that I could live forever with it. After I really understood the Taoism, I realized that the so-called Taoism is nothing more than a thief of luck."

His face was full of disdain, and he said contemptuously: "The real Taoism is just stealing the luck of the court for his own use. What real people and immortals are nothing more than thieves. The real effect is not as good as the ancient method of refining Qi. At least it can strengthen the body." Keep fit, prolong life".

Li Qing nodded secretly, so that's the case, but what he didn't know was that the world was changing, the fairyland was getting closer, the luck rules began to loosen, and the spiritual energy needed for real cultivation had begun to slowly appear.

At that time, those hypocritical ways of luck will naturally decline, and the ancient law of training qi will prevail.

As he left, he secretly lamented that Lu Yan's luck was really good. He could sharply choose the method of Qi training when the way of luck was about to end. When the concentration of spiritual energy became higher and higher, this person would become the first batch of people to enter the Tao.

He also began to feel anxious, no matter whether Lu Yan chose the ancient Qi training method on purpose or not, he must increase his strength as soon as possible to meet the coming big changes.

After the Daolu Department was handed over to Lu Yan, Li Qing rarely asked questions, but only checked the memorials submitted by Lu Yan every once in a while, most of which were Taoist temples that had recently been brought under the jurisdiction.

Although the tone is flat, every place name in it means that countless people's heads are rolling down. How can the Taoist people who have always been at ease be willing to be controlled by others.

The news obtained through other channels confirmed this point. Almost all Jinyiwei dispatched to cooperate with the local government to detect all the Taoist temples in the four states. Once there are Taoist temples that openly oppose the New Deal, they will be killed immediately.

Blood flowed in the holy Taoist temples everywhere, leaving them with only one path... to King Shunming.

If you don't accept it, you will die!

Li Qing just saw another major event from Tian Boyuan's memorial. Because of the "persecution" by the Daolu Division, many Taoist disciples from the four states fled to other states.

At the same time, the Jinling Taiyi Immortal Sect widely issued hero posts, inviting exiled Taoist disciples to Jinling, declaring it to the outside world as the "Ten Thousand Immortals Conference".
