Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

"The opposite of Brahmanism is Jainism. The teachings of Jainism are probably godless, against the caste system, against killing and anti-fatalism, everyone can attain enlightenment, and does not discriminate against women, etc."

"Jainism and Brahmanism belong to two extremes."

"The remaining one, Buddhism, was founded only a few decades ago by Gautama Siddhartha, who they called 'Shakyamuni'."

Lie Yukou continued to tell about the religious culture of the South Asian subcontinent for Qingji.

"This Sakyamuni, whose status in the South Asian subcontinent is equivalent to Lao Tzu and Confucius of my Great Wu, more than ten years ago, Sakyamuni Nirvana on the bank of the Niyabati River in Kusinara, also Just passed away."

"However, temples have been established in various parts of the South Asian subcontinent, and the number of monks and lay believers is increasing day by day, and its influence is second only to Brahmanism..."

Hearing this, Qingji nodded and said, "I see. Lie Yukou, it is really difficult for you to spread the Taoist theory in such a place and spread my Great Wu's culture of the Heavenly Kingdom."

"No, Your Majesty, I think that if my great Wu wants to conquer the South Asian subcontinent and the world with culture, it's not impossible."

"How to say?"

Lie Yukou said earnestly: "Your Majesty, since it is impossible to use the sect to deal with the sect, why not use the sect to deal with the sect?"

"..."

Qingji immediately understood what Lie Yukou was thinking.

indeed.

After all, the scholars in this era are only a small part, and the vast majority of them are illiterate and do not know a single character. With schools as the foundation, it is natural that there is not much foundation for spreading one's own theories.

But denominations are different.

Sects are the easiest to fool the world and confuse people.

Of course, it cannot be said to be fooling or bewitching, after all, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

An atheist like Qingji cannot understand the thoughts of those who believe in ghosts and gods.

However, this did not prevent Qingji from starting from this, and culturally conquered all the foreigners in the kingdoms.

At this time, in order to persuade Qingji, Lie Yukou kowtowed to Qingji, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, it is easy to conquer foreign nations by force."

"However, in this way, you can only get the person, not the heart."

"Your Majesty, my minister's suggestion is that I, Great Wu, establish a sect as the state religion, and use sects to deal with sects."

"In foreign lands and foreign barbarians, sects are very popular. In the South Asian subcontinent, Brahmanism is the state religion. The Persians before that also used Zoroastrianism as the state religion."

"Whether it is Brahmanism or Zoroastrianism, they are all tools used by the emperor to control people's thoughts and unify their beliefs, and the results are very good."

"Your Majesty, I highly recommend Zoroastrianism (Zoroastrianism) or Buddhism as the state religion of my Great Wu."

"Both sects have a causal theory."

"Like Zoroastrianism, they advocate that in the struggle between good and evil, people have personal free will on which side they stand."

"Good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil. The treatment after death depends on the degree of piety and personal performance of worshiping Mazda during his lifetime."

"Its teaching also divides the activities of life into three categories: thought, speech, and action."

"There are two kinds of good and evil in each category, and they are associated with heaven and hell. Those who do good will get good rewards, and those who do evil will get evil rewards."

"Those who practice goodness will gradually enter the kingdom of heaven. First, they will enter the heaven of good thinking, then they will enter the heaven of good words, next they will enter the heaven of good deeds, and finally they will enter the heaven of light, which is the eternal heaven."

"Whether a believer is saved or not is not born with him, but depends on his beliefs and his thoughts, words, and actions during his lifetime..."

"I found that all religions have such teachings, which can be said to lead to the same goal."

Do you worship Zoroastrianism?

Zoroastrianism is actually Zoroastrianism, but on Dawu's side, it is customary to call it Zoroastrianism and Zoroastrianism.

It has been more than a hundred years since the rise of Zoroastrianism.

If Qingji remembers correctly, the founder of Zoroastrianism is Zoroaster, who seems to be a replica of Gautama Siddhartha (Buddha).

Zoroaster was born in an aristocratic family in the Kingdom of Medes. He abandoned his family and lived in seclusion at the age of 20. He was inspired by God at the age of 30. He reformed the traditional polytheism and founded Zoroastrianism...

The main deity of the sect is Ahura Mazda.

They believe that Ahura Mazda is an all-knowing and omnipotent creator of the universe. He has virtues such as light, life, and creation, and is also the embodiment of natural laws, order, and truth.

Mazda created the physical world and also created fire, the "infinite light"...

In any case, no matter how "tall" the image is, the believers will force it on the body of the main god Mazda.

After Qingji thought for a while, there was a glimmer of light in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Lie Yukou, Buddhism or Zoroastrianism, they are all foreign religions, and they are all foreign religions, not our native land in Great Wu. religion."

"I am a great country in Wu, and the kingdom of heaven is the kingdom of heaven. Isn't that a joke for people in Wu to believe in a foreign god?"

"China's thousands of years of history and civilization have a long history, and it's not that there are no local gods."

"The barbarians in Fanbang can create gods, and so can I in Great Wu; the barbarians in Fanbang have religions, and so can I in Great Wu!"

"I intend to establish a new sect, which will be the state religion of my Great Wu, the only state religion."

Hearing this, Lie Yukou was also very excited, bowed to Qingji and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

In fact, how could Lie Yukou want a foreign sect to become the state religion of Great Wu?
Isn't that a joke?

Da Wu also has a complete system of gods.

"Let Yin Xi and Nan Rong come over."

"promise!"

……

Yin Xi and Nan Rong are representatives of the Taoist school and disciples of Lao Tzu.

These two people are not only knowledgeable and devoting themselves to cultivating Taoism, they have also refined various panacea for Qingji over the years.

They couldn't refine the real elixir of life, so they had to pass on the "Wu Qin Xi" to Qingji and all Wu people so that they could prolong their lives.

Qing Ji, who has taken various panacea medicines, can also stay young forever. His physical function and appearance are maintained in his 30s, and he looks younger than Prince Heng, Wu Zhang, Wu Fan and others...

Yin Xi and Nan Rong were indifferent to fame and wealth, but Qingji still let them serve as the Qin Tianjian and the other as the Minister of Rites, which was regarded as an important task.

This time Qingji wanted to set up a new state religion, and the person in charge was actually a Taoist.

After Yin Xi and Nan Rong entered Zi De Hall and took their seats, Qing Ji told them his thoughts.

"Establish a new sect, and consider it the state religion of my Great Wu?"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this will not be an easy task."

Hearing this, Qingji smiled lightly and said, "If it was an easy matter, I wouldn't ask you to discuss it."
