The Supreme Prosecutor of the Tang Dynasty

Li Er heard what Li Yuan said and couldn't help but nodded slowly.

Indeed, this problem exists. Although they were not particularly close to Taoism before, they had learned about it.

Taoism is indeed what Chen Qiu said. It is not like Buddhists at all, who would like to make you believe in Buddhism when you see someone.

On the contrary, Taoist priests are more noble and calm than the last. If you believe, just believe. If you don’t believe, just ask. Anyway, don’t disturb me in my cultivation!

And even if you want to believe in Taoism and follow us to practice Taoism, it depends on fate. If you don’t have fate, it’s a waste of time to cultivate, so don’t disturb me in cultivating immortality~!

Under the Taoist ideology that has been passed down from generation to generation, it seems... really difficult to let them take the lead!

After all, if you are used to being a gentle and calm person, how can you want to be restrained everywhere, or accept so many disciples?

In the eyes of ordinary people, being able to reach that position is simply a blessing, and they only dream of being so awesome, but in the eyes of Taoist priests, these have become a drag on their own cultivation!

"No problem, no problem……"

Chen Qiu smiled:"Don't agree? Indeed, if the current Taoist disciples were to be responsible for this matter, there would definitely not be too many responders."

"But... we can support another Taoist religion!"

"What's the meaning?"Li Er and his son looked confused and couldn't figure out the situation.

Support another Taoism? Isn't Taoism enough now? There are all kinds of Taoism everywhere, such as Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion, Zhengyi Sect, etc., there are quite a few, right?

"This Taoism is not that Taoism!"

"simply put……"Chen Qiu's eyes flashed and he said with a smile:"Your Majesty can set up a Taoist committee!"

"This Taoist committee follows Taoist ideas, or in other words, Your Majesty can also modify some of it to make it more suitable for the current reputation of our Datang Dynasty.……"

"Of course, it is also necessary to lead people to do good things."

"This Taoist Committee, or Taoist Association, is managed from top to bottom. It is not for cultivating Taoism, but to serve the many Taoist believers who are about to appear!"

"It doesn't matter that these people can even receive wages from the court. As long as they unify the people's beliefs, don't do bad things, and guide everything in a good direction, why not?"

This is Chen Qiu's true inner thought.

In fact, modern Taoism is similar to this situation. Cultivation of the

Tao can be simply divided into two levels. One is the 'Tao' practiced in the secular world; He is a human being, his body!

On the other level, he is a true Taoist priest who lives in seclusion in the mountains, does not care about worldly affairs, and rarely goes out of the mountains...

This is the true Taoism he cultivates.

Neither can the two levels. Say who is more high-end, but existence is reasonable! Both parties exist, and both know the existence of the other, but they do not interfere with each other, and getting along occasionally can be called happiness. Therefore, after the

Taoist Association is established, it will naturally be solved Those who are true Taoist priests:"Whether you come here or not, don't disturb my cultivation of immortality."……", which leads to the problem that Taoism cannot flourish

"Makes sense!"

Li Er thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense, so he nodded and agreed.

Li Er is definitely not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart! He can naturally understand the benefits of Chen Qiu's method! Simply put, the Taoist Association, It must be in the hands of him as the emperor!

In other words, doctrines and other things can be written according to his wishes!

In this case, doesn't it mean that although the people believe in Taoism, the person behind the scenes is actually himself ?

Even though everyone is familiar with Taoist teachings, and he can't change too much, and he doesn't want to change too much, but having the Taoist Association in his hands is equivalent to controlling almost all Taoist believers in the future! Isn't this fucking flattering?

Therefore, Li Er did not think about it further and directly agreed, and even wanted to give Chen Qiu a thumbs up for this method!

……

In the afternoon of that day, Li Er's imperial edict was sent out. Then, with Chang'an as the center, messengers were rushed eight hundred miles away and sent to various government offices in the Tang Dynasty, as well as... temples!

The content is very simple. Dismiss all the monks in the temples. From now on, there can no longer be any apparent belief in Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty!

To put it simply, do you want to believe in Buddhism? Okay, just write the letter secretly at home! No one cares about you even if you eat fast and chant Buddha's name.

However, if you want to promote Buddhism, recruit disciples, or even hold an 'illegal assembly' or something like that, sorry, no!

If you dare to do it, I will arrest you!

At the same time, the Taoist Association was also being established with great fanfare.

Real Taoist priests rarely meddle in such noisy matters, but if Li Er wanted to find someone to do something, how could he not be able to find it?

In less than a day, the leadership team of the Taoist Association was established, and Chen Qiu even took the title of elder among them...

The president is an experienced Taoist from Huashan, who looks like a fairy and has a strong character. Man, from this point of view, there is absolutely no problem.

As time went by... temples everywhere were demolished one after another, and all the monks were sent home!

In this process, there was naturally a lot of resistance, whether it was monks or loyal believers in Buddhism, etc., they all cried and shouted to stop it.

But... Li Er's order to destroy the Buddha is extremely strict, and he takes it very seriously, and there is no room for sloppiness!

Therefore, neither the officials near Chang'an nor the people in charge of this matter in other states dared to let go. Even if it means forced demobilization, it must be done!

As a result, Buddhism, which was once flourishing in the Tang Dynasty and highly praised by Li Er, almost disappeared in the Tang Dynasty in just half a month.

It's not that there is no more Buddhist believers, but... there are no famous temples anymore.

Even the monks and temples are small mountain temples in remote places, and even so, these small temples will gradually be replaced as time goes by... At the same time, many Taoist temples began to be built in various places!

Originally, Taoist temples were located in deep mountains or dangerous areas, which were very rare in the world!

Today, Taoist temples are being built aggressively, and the imperial court is talking about the goodness of Taoism, and claims that Taoism is the only officially recognized religion in the Tang Dynasty!

In addition, many people who originally believed in Buddhism now lost their faith. Just when they needed something to believe in, Taoism suddenly appeared...

It was logical that people naturally began to believe in Taoism.

In this way, the destruction of Buddhism has become a foregone conclusion, and the development of Taoism is as fast as lightning, with great prosperity in a short period of time!

"Finally got it done……"

After checking the house, Chen Qiu finally smiled when he saw the news from his subordinates...
