The System Made Me a Fool

　　Yan Ge said in surprise.

　　Compared with Buddhism and Taoism, shamanism is a relatively primitive polytheism, worshiping ancestors and totems, and the mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, sun, moon and stars can all be gods.

　　He did not expect such a primitive sect to become popular in Guannai.

　　Is it really a foreign monk who likes to recite sutras: "Your Majesty, Fayan asked me to tell your majesty this matter. As for the twists and turns, it is up to your majesty to judge for yourself."

　　Tu Yan still looks like a light cloud and wind, and looking at him like that, it is estimated that he is not very concerned about the development of Buddhism.

　　Tu Yan didn't care much, but Yan Ge felt very touched.

　　The popularity of shamanism is a matter of folk beliefs, but it is a matter of cultural orthodoxy.

　　If Shamanism replaces Buddhism and Taoism becomes the sect with the largest number of believers, it is equivalent to giving way to the culture of the Central Plains to the culture of the grasslands.

　　Yan Ge then nodded and said, "Okay, now, I would like to thank Master for reminding me.

　　I just don't know what your relationship is with Master Fayan."

　　Tu Yan smiled and said, "Fayan is my nephew."

　　Yan Ge was amazed for a while. The generation of this picture is really terrifying. Even the abbot of Kuchanyuan is the first generation! During the conversation, a clear voice came from outside the hall: "Old slave Guizhen, come to visit the old man! "

　　Yan Ge hurriedly asked his servants to invite Gui Zhen in.

　　This... the guardian of the palace has always been the guardian of the palace in obscurity, making the people who are cherishing treatment on the rivers and lakes stay away from here, and taught the imperial court Kuwait.

　　A master like Jiang, who won the championship in the world's No. [-] martial arts meeting, such an old master Yan Ge is very admired in his heart.

　　"Master Gui Zhen, stay safe!"

　　Yan Ge clasped his fists.

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

　　Tu Yan also nodded slightly to Gui Zhen.

　　Gui Zhen smiled and said, "Master Tu Yan still remembers it."

　　Tu Yan showed a puzzled look, and couldn't think of any intersection he had with this...mysterious guardian.

　　Gui Zhen said: "It's normal that the master doesn't remember me.

　　When I was still a third-rate role in the world, the master was already well-known all over the world, and when I visited the Kuchan Temple to seek martial arts, I once listened to the master's Dharma."

　　"Amitabha, all are good fortune."

　　Tu Qian put her hands together.

　　"Master Gui Zhen, recently in the arena there is still the one that Taiping did in our court... What happened to the deacon?"

　　Yan Ge asked.

　　Since the establishment of the Deacon Council that day, Dongchang has become the main organ leading the Deacon Council, and the four masters of the river, lake and sea have all become the worship of Dongchang, and Guizhen, as the existence of Zhenshan, although rarely leaves the palace, but the deacon council. Any important decision still needs his staff.

　　Gui Zhen said: "I came here this time, on the one hand, because Master Tu Yan is here, on the other hand, I also came to inform Your Majesty that there are two more masters in the East Factory who have broken through to the top realm."

　　"With the martial arts secrets of the seven major sects, the court itself has a steady stream of resources to provide, and the number and quality of Dongchang masters have improved compared to when the world's number one martial arts meeting.

　　Today, the imperial court has more and more say in the affairs of the whole arena."

　　"So good."

　　Yan Ge said with relief, "Then what happened to the Demon Sect, but they are still fighting fiercely against the right path."

　　Gui Zhen said: "The strange thing is that the demon sect seems to have disappeared recently. The deacon council's actions to clear the demon sect have all come to nothing. The old slave is wondering if the demon sect is preparing some kind of conspiracy."

　　Yan Ge said: "Don't worry about it, the soldiers will block the water and cover the soil,,,, well! Not to mention that the demon sect is so powerful that it is also fighting against the seven gates. We are just watching from the sidelines."

　　"That's what Your Majesty said."

　　Gui Zhen nodded.

　　After that, Yan Ge chatted a few times with the two master masters, and the two said their goodbyes.

　　After Gui Zhen and Tu Qian left, Yan Ge immediately.

　　Invite Wang Meng to discuss shamanism.

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

　　"Oh Aiqing, what's your opinion?"

　　Wang Meng said: "The reason why shamanism spreads so fast is because the imperial court has never interfered in the affairs of 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 Ge said: "Yes, what Aiqing said makes sense."

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

　　Wang Meng smiled and asked, "Which one does the emperor think is more suitable?"

　　Yan Ge said: "It's better to be Taoism.

　　Buddhism was introduced from a foreign country in the south, and it is still a foreign religion at its root, not as good as Taoism, which was born and bred in the Wei Dynasty, and is more suitable for orthodoxy.”

　　Wang Meng said: "I feel that Buddhism may be a better choice.

　　Although Taoism has a deep foundation in our country, it is mixed, with many factions, and no one obeys the other, and it is very difficult to unify."

　　More importantly, Taoist thought is too profound and profound, and it is difficult for people in China to understand it.

　　On the contrary, Buddhist thought is simple to learn at the beginning, and has infinite mysteries if you want to go deeper. It is both shallow and deep, and it is easily accepted by foreign nations.

　　If Your Majesty will conquer the four seas in the future, Buddhism should be the most suitable for Liwei State Religion."

　　"If Your Majesty is worried that Buddhism was not developed in our country, Wei Huaxia, and there may be hidden dangers in the future, this minister has a solution.

　　It is better to build a new mountain now, change religion and establish a religion, and distinguish the Buddhism of the Great Wei from the Buddhism of the Peacock Empire and Sri Lanka.

　　In this way, Your Majesty will be the founder of our Chinese Buddhism in the future, and will be praised by thousands of people in future generations, and Your Majesty's prestige will be even higher!"

　　Yan Ge's eyes lit up when he heard it: "This method is good, this method is good!"

　　As soon as he heard Wang Meng's statement, he understood that this is not the legendary "monarch's divine right".

　　Well! The power of the secular monarch is further enlarged by the fusion of divine power and monarchical power.

　　In this way, the monarch 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 state and religion, and the lofty status of the supremacy of monarchical power.

　　In the Middle Ages in Europe, many emperors who ruled by power 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 the conquered area to accept a new emperor, new living habits, and new cultural history, but as long as the publicity can get it, it is much easier to change beliefs.

　　And once faith and monarchy merge, wouldn't changing the sect be the same as accepting the new imperial authority? "Okay, then do as Aiqing said!"

　　Yan Ge immediately.

　　He dictated an imperial decree to Wang Meng, ordering Taichang Temple to be in charge of the Buddhist conversion and split, requiring the establishment of a new Buddhist belief system to distinguish it from the original Buddhism, especially establishing the supremacy of monarchy.

　　Yan Ge also borrowed terms from the earth and named the converted Buddhism "Mahayana Buddhism"

　　The conversion of Buddhism caused great repercussions, and even the limelight of the Literary Prison was suppressed.

　　Taichang Temple organized Jingshi Daxuetang, Longtu Pavilion and famous masters in Buddhism and philosophy from universities all over the country to participate in the formulation of new books of Mahayana Buddhism.

　　At the same time, Lu Ming was also entrusted by Yan Ge to design a new type of Buddhist temple that was similar to the original Buddhist Garan, but with the distinctive colors of the Chinese nation.

　　Yan Ge was very satisfied after seeing Lu Ming's design, and immediately delivered it to the supervisor to rebuild, rebuild, and build a new Buddhist temple and pagoda in Quan Dawei.

　　In fact, Yan Ge completed "The Four Hundred and Eighty Temples"

　　During the mission, a large-scale Buddhist temple was built, but that... one time was just to complete the mission, compared to this time's national mobilization, it was just a small fight.

　　Nowadays, with the support of the imperial court, the Buddhist style of the Wei Dynasty prevails in the whole country. People worship Buddha and burn incense in temples.

　　Soon, the revision of the "Buddhist Canon" of Mahayana Buddhism was completed.

　　According to the interpretation of this "Buddhist Canon", after Mahayana Buddhism was introduced to the East, it only flourished after being supported by the Emperor of Wei.

　　The song respects the Buddha and the Tao, with boundless merit and virtue, and the advanced step is the actual Great Bright Buddha, also known as the "Buddha World Honored One"

　　After that, he passed away, the Emperor of Wei, the World Honored One.

　　The so-called "World Honored"

　　that is in the buddha who governs the present

　　The Buddha of the world, like all the gods and the ten thousand Buddhas, is worshipped by all people and revered by all people.

　　The real essence of Buddhist thought in the newly revised "Buddhist Canon" is the concept of karma, three realms and six realms, dependent origination, nirvana, etc., but it does not emphasize the need to jump out of the world and pursue liberation through asceticism as in the previous Buddhist scriptures.

　　In fact, after Buddhism was introduced to the East, Chinese Buddhism not only did not absorb the essence of Southern Buddhism, but developed some cumbersome procedures instead.

　　For example, an emperor of the Liang Dynasty ordered all Buddhists not to eat meat because he was obsessed with Buddhism, but the original text was clear, and the Buddhist scriptures did not say that meat should not be eaten, but only said that it was not allowed to kill.

　　The reformed Mahayana Buddhism does not emphasize asceticism and self-liberation, but advocates altruism, helping others, respecting the law of cause and effect, and realizing the "emptiness" of the world

　　While actively practicing in time, it has become a sect that is conducive to enlightenment and guiding the people.

　　In this large-scale "Buddha"

　　Under the movement, the primitive religious form of shamanism quickly became pale and lost the momentum of prosperity when it was just introduced to the Central Plains.

　　On the contrary, Mahayana Buddhism was introduced to the four roads of Lingbei. After Anxi Road, it blossomed everywhere, and every household put up Buddha statues and burned Buddha incense.

　　Inspired by the Buddha, the originally brave and fearless grassland people also gradually learned to be meek, humble and reverent.

　　As for "Buddha"

　　Yan Ge is admired by all the people, and Wang Meng's proposal for conversion has achieved perfect results.

　　In the capital city, in the Dharma field, a group of people were arrested because of the "literary prison"

　　The literati who were apprehended were escorted in by a group of soldiers of five and three thicknesses, wearing shackles, and an entire row of swordsmen and axemen were already in place.
