The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 606: The Holy See has a strong vitality and flexibility, and China must unite to strangle it
Liu Bingyi had also heard of the legend about the Western Qin Dynasty, but those were distorted rumors and could not be trusted.

However, it seems that the Roman Empire had some skills since it was able to detect the birth of this sect and make great efforts to kill it.

It shouldn't be those rubbish like those medieval European kingdoms.

[In that era, being a sect's archbishop was a high-risk job, and the Roman Empire was suppressing and wary of them everywhere.]

[In a short period of time, the sect even lost the lives of more than a dozen archbishops, just because the Roman emperor was dissatisfied with this sect.]

[The sect at that time was like a rat crossing the street, hiding in the dark day after day, relying on its tenacious vitality and organization to avoid disaster.]

"What a thief who is still so determined!"

Looking at the believers in the video that could not be killed no matter what, the audience in the heavens said with gritted teeth.

Many emperors could relate to this, especially those after the Tang Dynasty.

Because after the great development of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty, a sect slowly emerged, that is, Maitreya Buddhism.

This religion that believes in the future is just like the sect on the screen, and you can never kill them all.

You don't even know when they started lurking and when they started planning their rebellion.

Of course, Maitreya Sect later had another famous name - the White Lotus Sect.

It can be said that no matter what kind of turbulent times, the White Lotus Sect is always a standard rebel. There is a saying that goes something like this.

No matter who wants to rebel, my White Lotus Sect will definitely lend a hand!
It can be said that the vitality of the sect on the screen is comparable to that of the White Lotus Sect and the Maitreya Sect.

"Must hit hard!"

This is the voice of many viewers, and the Roman Empire in the video also did the same.

[From the first century to the third century AD, for more than two hundred years, the Roman Empire spared no effort to put this abominable sect to death.]

[But it was precisely because of the sect's flexible bottom line and overly flattering attitude that many people spoke for them, and the Roman emperor could not find any opportunity to take action. ]

[Many elders have accepted bribes from the sect, and there have even been faith attacks. The sect's priests who specialize in studying people's hearts are very proficient in this area.]

[So, no matter how they did it, in the past two hundred years, this sect was always able to revive, and its reputation became even more prosperous, gradually becoming the largest sect among the people.]

"Buy off the upper echelons and try to unite as many people as possible!"

In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Sun En, the Tianshi Daoist, narrowed his eyes and memorized this strategy. In fact, he was also doing it, but not on such a large scale.

"We must show weakness to the imperial court so that they can't find any evidence against us. Before the success, we must guard against it and absolutely cannot let the secret leak out!"

"Yes!"

At this moment, a great and wise teacher of the Eastern Han Dynasty gave a thumbs up.

Zhang Jue: Keeping secrets is indeed very important. Traitors should all die. Damn Tang Zhou! I'll fuck you!

[However, the confrontation between the two sides ended there, because by the fourth century, the power of the Roman Empire had declined.]

[They no longer had the energy to mess with this sect, so the two sides merged.]

"Ah? You give in already?"

Emperor Xuan of Han, Liu Bingyi, who had just praised the Roman Empire, now had a twitching mouth.

But it is understandable. What the Roman Empire was worried about before was that this sect would mislead the people and be detrimental to its rule.

But by the fourth century, the influence of the Roman Empire itself had declined significantly, and it was no longer useful to be on guard.

On the other hand, several ambitious Taoists were also constantly recording and accumulating the rebellion of their predecessors...ah, bah, successful experience. [With the support of the empire, Christianity, which was originally the largest sect, became something that everyone knew, and many people could recite the scriptures. ]

[These priests were not stingy in taking the lower-class route, not only distributing pamphlets to the public for free, but also preparing many gifts. ]

[Soon, people's hearts and wealth gathered around them, and then they began to seize political benefits.]

"This is inevitable. In the end, religious sects can only move in a political direction. When an organization reaches this point, it should turn against each other."

Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou, Yuwen Yong, who personally led the destruction of Buddhism throughout the world, stroked his chin and thought.

When he was destroying Buddhism, the Buddhist community in the Northern Zhou Dynasty had already produced no less than three reincarnations of the true Buddha to compete with him.

These sects are a bunch of opportunists who want greater benefits when they see benefits!

Li Shimin watched with great interest. Thinking back now, his hasty decision to establish Taoism as the state religion was inappropriate and not conducive to religious rule.

"Come here, send someone to Yongning Temple to pass on a message, inviting Master Xuanzang to come to the palace to give a lecture!"

Li Shimin wanted to learn a lesson, so he decided to give equal importance to both. Since Taoism was the state religion, Buddhism had to be cultivated more.

The rulers of China are very good at maintaining a balance.

However, the Roman Empire did not have this kind of foundation and energy, because they destroyed themselves.

[The sect successfully became the Roman state religion, and the archbishop was able to participate in politics. ]

[In the sixth century, the Roman Empire was divided, and the Eastern and Western Roman Empires went their separate ways. The violent political turmoil gave rise to countless opportunities. ]

[Relying on its status as a state religion, the sect has laid out many pawns in the chaotic Western Roman Empire. They are all heroes and they all have ambitions. ]

[In the end, the Western Roman Empire collapsed as expected, and the barbarian invasion interrupted all plans. ]

【At this time, a man appeared. Charlemagne, an ambitious man who wanted to establish himself, but he only had soldiers and no official position. 】

[The Roman Church has a legitimate status, but is manipulated by the barbarians. The two hit it off! ]

"What a perfect match, they are in cahoots with each other!"

"It was Charlemagne who turned Europe into the Middle Ages!"

"What a Charlemagne! Isn't this just a puppet emperor?"

"You know what, he's on par with Shi Jingtang."

The comments on the screen are very joyful. It is very happy to see Europa about to get into bad luck and enter the Dark Ages.

[In 800 AD, Charlemagne was crowned emperor by the Bishop of Rome. This emperor was recognized by the Roman Church, which also represented one thing: if the Roman Church recognized you, you were the real king.]

【Thus, the formation of the Pope is inevitable, and the Papal States will eventually be formed.】

[So, many people think that the power of the pope comes from faith, but in fact, they are always agents of secular power. ]

[Without secular power, it is impossible to have the dignity of the Pope. This can be seen from the fact that the Papal States became smaller and smaller, the military force became less and less, and many kings began to spurn the Pope.]

"In the final analysis, it still depends on fists. We cannot let these demagogues gain power and status, otherwise, people's hearts are unpredictable!"

Li Longji's words represented the thoughts of all emperors.

The powerful sects in all time and space of China will be strangled by them without any reservation.

It's about faith, it's about power, and it will last until death.
