Two days later, Master Yijing of Chong'en Temple was personally enshrined as a national teacher by Li Chengji. He also urged the Secretary of Academic Affairs, among the 12 elders, to add an additional seat for the Buddhist sect. As a result, the House of Elders was officially added from 12 seats to 13 seats.

That's a big deal!

Because the supreme governing body of the Department of Academic Affairs is the Twelve Elders. Previously, due to the dominance of Puritanism in Khorasan, the twelve elders were all Puritans. There were those who converted to Puritanism very early, and there were also new imams who converted to Christianity when Khorasan expanded its territory.

Like the great imam Ravasso of Gitzini, he is one of the twelve elders. They did not stay together for long, but dispersed and became respected religious leaders in the region. Thus promoting the spread of Puritanism and expanding the influence of Puritanism.

It is only in the spring of every two years that the elders come together to discuss religious affairs. Now the addition of seats in the House of the Twelve Elders, the meaning is very different.

Pashwa Jiya, who was the imam of the army, immediately asked to see Lee Seungji after hearing the news. He was supposed to stay in Philosgo, but after converting to Puritanism, he was very popular.

Of course, the main thing is to meet the wishes of the Khorasan officials and Li Chengji.

For example, the Ghor tribe near Fislogu took the initiative to take refuge in Khorasan under the persuasion of Pashwa Giya. In the end, the environment in the Gur Mountains is harsh, and if those tribes are intent on making things difficult for Khorasan. Hiding in the mountains is not something that can be wiped out in a while.

Moreover, the promotion of Puritanism in the local area was also extremely smooth. The people of the city of Philosland were almost 100 percent converted to Puritanism. The Gur tribes scattered in the mountains were also converted under the leadership of their patriarch.

The few stubborn ones were wiped out by the neighboring tribes without the help of the cathars. So in just a few months, Khorasan's rule in the land of Gur was secured. The decrees issued by Malu were also carried out very thoroughly.

This is much better than the repeated persecution of Puritans and the killing of Khorasan officials in the land of Cini and Sindh. Although the local defenders also vigorously purged the disobedient, the time was still short. Without half a year, Khorasan is not able to fully stabilize the place.

But it's nothing!

As the Kipchaks moved in, Khorasan's influence in the region grew. After all, the Kipchaks are brave and warlike tigers and wolves, and no matter how arrogant the tribes of Gizeni and Sindh are, those Kipchaks will not be afraid.

With the Khorasan government to rely on, those Kipchaks are even more proud of themselves.

These wars compared to the old Liao are not worth mentioning. But with the good case of the land of Gul, the difference is obvious. Therefore, Li Chengji specially summoned Pashwa Jiya to accompany the army. Not surprisingly, he will be the permanent imam for the coming year.

This is the special system of the Academic Affairs Department!

Although there were also imams before, they were all appointed by the Khorasan government. Now, however, the reform requires a patriarch election every three years. Can be re-elected once, with a five-year interval for re-election.

Although it was a spontaneous internal recommendation, it had to be approved by Lee Seungji. This is the first time since the creation of the House of Elders that a patriarch has been selected. Being elected is extremely beneficial to one's personal prestige.

Pashwa Giya came to rest in Malu and got some news. So when it came to broken leaves, he has always been very dedicated to dealing with religious affairs. In particular, the propagation and dissemination of Puritanism was his most important duty. To this end, he held no less than twenty doctrinal lectures. The main thing is to explain the basic doctrines of Puritanism in the most seductive language in the presence of believers. At the same time, many elders from other denominations were invited to debate the Qur'an of the sages.

This was originally a form of religion created by Lee Seung-ji when he was in Puhua to fight against other sects and stand out for Puritanism. Now the officials and elders of the Department of Educational Affairs have learned so that they can promote Puritanism and increase their own merits.

And there is also a partiality part! Just like the prize quiz in later generations, the winner can get a beautiful prize. It has to be said that this was extremely beneficial to the promotion of Puritanism. Many non-Puritans also went to the elders' preaching sessions under the gimmick of this prize.

He was then agitated and joined Puritanism.

The Puritans, who have grown several times over in Shattered Leaf City, came in this way.

At the moment, Pashwa Giya walked with his head bowed under the leadership of Ba Rahei. Although he regretted it a little at this time, he shouldn't have come to listen to Li Chengji's tone because Yijing was a national teacher. But when it came to the 100-year development plan of Puritanism, he had to bite the bullet.

After all, he could guess that the patriarchs who got the news from other places would definitely blame him for not fulfilling his duty to persuade Li Chengji and let the Buddhism take advantage of the situation.

Before coming to Li Chengji's yard, although the snow was cleared, there was still a thin layer of ice in the yard. The thick wool felt is made into a curtain, which is noisy to block the cold wind outside.

Standing outside the door, Barahei said, "Lord of the country, the great imam of Jiya is here." ”。

I heard a response from inside: "Come in!" ”。

Then Ba Rahei lifted the curtain, and Pashwa thanked him, and walked in with his legs raised.

"Lord of the Kingdom!" , Pashwa Giya saluted.

Because it is Li Chengji's former study, the place is not big. But the stove was lit, and it was quite warm. Li Chengji looked at the official duties sent by the counties, and played with the Buddhist beads in one hand.

Pashwa Giya's eyes tightened, and he swallowed silently.

Li Chengji raised his head, the corners of his mouth curved, and said with a smile, "Great Imam doesn't need to be polite!" Sit down! ”。

Pashwa Jiya knew that Li Chengji didn't like to be polite very much, so he sat on the side and said in a loud voice, "Thank you, Lord Guo." For the sake of the ministers, it is to seek a solution. ”。

Without concealment, Pashwa Giya directly stated his purpose.

Li Chengji also guessed his intention, and said loudly, "But for the sake of Master Yijing, the Buddhist sect, and the matter of being respected as a national teacher?" ”。

"Lord of the Kingdom! As a foolish minister, I don't know why the lord of the country respects Puritanism as the state religion, and why he treats Buddhism favorably? ”。

Li Chengji smiled and raised the Buddha beads, and asked out loud, "Do you know what the Great Imam is?" ”。

"Buddha tokens - Buddha beads!" ，

"Then do you know how geometrically the Buddha beads in the old Liao land are?" , Li Chengji asked.

"I don't know! But to the east of the broken leaves is the Gaochang Buddha country, and the old Liao lord once believed in Buddhism. Therefore, there are many Buddhas in the old Liao, and the Buddha beads do not know themselves. ”。

During this period of time, Pashwa Giyalai was not just obsessed with teaching affairs. For example, the understanding of Buddhism has taken a lot of thought. In the end, in the land of the old Liao, Buddhism is a great religion that can be compared with Islam.

This is to find out the situation of the opponent, so that it is convenient for oneself to proselytize.
