The Taoist conference on the Ghost Festival of the Ghost Festival was successfully held. Of course, outsiders did not know what was discussed inside. They only knew that since then, the Taoist sect has changed its past style and become radical. They spread the word that Emperor Tianqi is the new one.

The Emperor of Heaven descended to earth, and now he has come to earth to become an emperor and accumulate merit.

When the merits are completed, he will return to heaven and take over as the emperor of heaven. Such a novel statement naturally interests the people, and even some poor people who want to change will invite this tablet back to worship.

Taoist temples also blossomed in various places, and people sat down one after another to treat local people. While they were treating patients, they preached the merits, achievements, and agreed-upon teachings of the Holy Emperor Tianqi to guide people to do good.

However, the local government saw that the emperor was promoted, so they ignored it and even provided conveniences in various aspects. As a result, Taoism flourished. And such Taoist temples, because they promoted that the emperor was the emperor of heaven, were collectively called the Temple of Heavenly Emperor. Later, in

During Zhu Youxiao's long reign as emperor, the view of the Emperor of Heaven gradually became the mainstream orthodoxy of Taoism. Wherever there were people of the Ming Dynasty, there must be a view of the Emperor of Heaven.

When the Buddhists saw that the Taoist sect was acting like this, they were not reconciled. The Taoist sect took out the position of the Emperor of Heaven, and they took the position of the future Buddha, and preached that the Apocalypse is the coming of the future Buddha, who is here to save all living beings. All living beings worship devoutly, and they can follow after death.

Western bliss. In the eyes of scholars who have a deep understanding of Buddhism, this propaganda may be a bit funny.

But the people of the Ming Dynasty don't understand. They only know that the emperor is so awesome. He is also the emperor of heaven and the future Buddha. With such an awesome status, I also want to go home and worship him. Anyway, it is natural to worship the emperor.

Maybe your life will get better if you say goodbye, and maybe you can go to heaven or the paradise after death.

Some people even invited both tablets back and worshiped them together. They both belong to His Majesty the Emperor. What's the problem if they are placed together? If they worship together, if they can't go to heaven, they can still go to the Western Bliss. There is one more option.

Always good.

Look, these are shrewd Chinese people, and this little thought is so cute.

Regarding the propaganda of Buddhism, Zhu Youxiao also acquiesced. Buddhism also has advanced medical skills. It is always good to have one more place for medical treatment. Besides, there are many Buddhists in Nanyang. When I go there in the future, conflicts will definitely be unavoidable.

, if you want to rule for a long time, cultural export is very necessary, and Buddhism can be used for it.

As for the grasslands and the Western Regions, try your best to spread Taoism, hoping that religion can stabilize that area.

In this way, Buddhism spread to the south in the Ming Dynasty, and the strategy of Taoism's westward expansion was decided. The rapid expansion of Taoism and Buddhism not only increased Zhu Youxiao's prestige among the people, but also brought about the great development of medical skills, especially Buddhism and Taoism.

The two regulations that require them to practice medical skills make it much more convenient for them to travel outside.

Chinese people also have the impression that monks must have medical skills. Many times, when they encounter disputes or are sick or injured, they will come to them for mediation or help. At this time, they will also promote the teachings and kindness of the Holy Emperor Tianqi.

The two promote each other and form a virtuous cycle.

Of course, these are all things for later, and it will take a long time to achieve them. What really takes effect immediately at this time is that a thousand Taoist priests will come to Beijing. All of them are people who are proficient in medical skills. These one thousand people can make the whole country

The power of Taoism is gathered together.

With these one thousand people, a complete hematopoietic cycle can be formed. At this point, the medical system and psychological counseling system in Zhu Youxiao's army have been officially established.

The entire capital was very lively in late July. For some reason, Taoist priests from all over the country came to the capital one after another. Along with them, 70,000 recruits recruited from the northern provinces also entered the capital one after another. Then,

Beautiful ladies recommended from various places also slowly entered Beijing under the escort of local officials.

The reform of Taoism has not been reported. This is something that can be done but not said. The current altar of gods is exaggerated and it is not good to leak it. However, although the emperor did not admit this kind of thing, as long as he is a little informed and good at contact

Anyone can realize that the emperor was the driving force behind this religious expansion.

However, this is a trick of boiling a frog in warm water. If you are not a very keen person, it is unlikely that you will notice it. Although some people in the Confucian sect are aware of it, they are in a high position and it is also good for them.

Maybe thousands of years later, I can follow the emperor and achieve a divine status.

Therefore, they remained silent and acquiesced in His Majesty's method of meddling in religion, using religion as a tentacle, gradually going deep into the local area, and guiding local public opinion.

Since then, religion has begun to flourish, and along with it, the Zongren Mansion has flourished. The Zongren Mansion was originally an institution that managed clans in various places. It was a Qingshui Yamen. Because of its pleasant name, Zhu Youxiao took advantage of it.

Get up and use it to manage the ultimatum of all monks.

From now on, the imperial court will no longer confer any titles such as national masters or heavenly masters. Experts from all over the country will all be placed within the framework of the Zongren Mansion, where they will receive titles and enjoy various subsidies. The Zongren Mansion will also be included in this department.

It transformed and extended to local areas, becoming an emerging department.

However, there were countless such prosperous departments in the Tianqi Dynasty. Except for the Zongren Mansion, which had a good time at the beginning, it was later overshadowed by the glory of other departments.

The recruits are returning one after another and are gradually training. The draft is also gradually progressing. The progress is gratifying. In about a month, Zhu Youxiao will have one, no, three wives. The Steel Keel has also made good progress. The plan is feasible, that is, to

Further optimization.

Li Yuyu, who was marching south to Sichuan, finally entered Sichuan after a long journey, and won consecutive battles, relieving the siege of Chengdu. In Li Yuyu's battle report, he strongly praised the usefulness of the explosive ammunition.

After the shooting, the enemy troops collapsed and fled without fighting.

However, although the chieftain rebels did not have much fighting power and were defeated at the first contact with the Yulin army, they were better because they had more people and they were familiar with the terrain. It would not be easy to really wipe them out. Moreover, the Yulin army was too small in number, and the local guard station

The combat effectiveness is basically non-existent, and the defense of the city is only so-so, let alone fighting in the city.

Therefore, in the battle report, Li Yuyu hoped that the emperor would send more people, preferably Li Tao's 10,000 people. Anyway, the other party had finished suppressing the rebellion. Yu Zigao and Qin Liangyu were maintaining the southern Zhili side.

Nothing to worry about.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and then agreed. He ordered Li Tao to lead troops into Guizhou to quell the rebellion. Anyway, there was nothing major this year. After the 20,000 people put down the rebellion of the chieftains, they happened to come back to expand the military system and everyone made meritorious deeds.
