Chapter 608: Religious Policy

On the wide Avenue of the Emile, the procession marched in unison in the direction of the Crystal Palace. Nazir al-Din Tusi huddled in the phalanx represented by the Imperial Academy, watching the crowds on both sides of the avenue as he walked.

After further widening, the Avenue of the Emir now has eight lanes of traffic in both directions. In particular, the road leading to the Crystal Palace was newly built along with the Crystal Palace. Now the road surface is flat and neat!

After sprinkling clean water, the road surface is even more spotless.

Nazir al-Din Tusi walked on it, afraid that his shoes would stain the road.

At this time, the people on both sides of the road saw the uniform clothes of the students of the Imperial Academy, and couldn't help but guess: "Which school is this, and the students of this school are lucky enough to show their faces in front of the lord of the country." ”。

"Yes! The school where our baby is studying has a big vacation, and we are tossing around at home! ”,

"Tut-tut... The children in this school are all born with strong signs, unlike ordinary school students! Some people commented.

The Imperial Academy is a school personally established by Li Chengji's Ministry of Rites. Although there is no teaching qualification for training officials, it is still under the personal control of the Department of Education. The principal of the school is also a high-ranking official in the Department of Education.

Even the Great Diwan of the Ministry of Rites and the Lord of the State, Li Chengji, are the honorary principals of the Imperial Academy.

When cultivating students, it is not only knowledge, but also bearing.

Of course, the food will never be bad.

In this era when ordinary people often starve to death, the students of the Imperial Academy have achieved a balanced nutrition. And there is also a martial arts department in the school! It is not required that every student is a martial arts wizard, but only to strengthen the body and have a strong physical condition.

Therefore, as far as the eye can see, the faces of the students of the Imperial Academy are full of vigor and confidence that are common to teenagers. And he is not short, and he is strong.

The formation of a phalanx walked on the Avenue of the Emir, like a group of soldiers with their heads held high.

Nasir-al-Din Tusi felt the eager gaze of the people, and he couldn't help but feel proud of being a student of the Imperial Academy.

At the same time, Crystal Palace.

As the venue of today's founding ceremony, it gathers the attention of all walks of life in Khorasan. The first to third floors are also carefully furnished and can accommodate thousands of VIPs.

And in the square outside the Crystal Palace, a nearly five-meter-high parade platform has been erected. It is tied with white silk to shield guests from the harsh sun.

But today, the sky was beautiful, and there was a light rain in Malu City last night. It's stopped today, but the clouds haven't cleared yet. Coupled with the fact that the weather has begun to cool, the weather in Malu City is not too hot.

It was nearly noon, and the sun was still obscured by the clouds.

This is still a rare thing in Malu.

It has been rumored that Allah is grateful to the Lord of Khorasan for bringing thousands of believers back to the right path. So that we can listen to the Word and receive the teachings of Allah.

The imams of the major mosques represented by the House of Elders are also preached in this way.

Even the Temple of Mercy and Grace, which has just been built outside the city, is also preached in this way.

This is the first Buddhist temple with a royal background in Malu City, and it is said that all the money for the construction of the temple was donated by the former Liao princess who married back to the lord of the country. Moreover, the presiding officer of the Buddhist temple is the only Buddhist monk in the House of Elders - Master Yijing.

At present, with the relocation of wealthy families from the Hui He and Xia kingdoms to Malu City, the number of Buddhist believers has changed dramatically. In addition, there are many Buddhist believers in Daliao, such as those Khitan royal families and clansmen, who have also moved to Malu.

Therefore, the construction of Buddhist temples is also to meet the requirements of these Buddhist believers.

It's just that Malu is a city dominated by Muslim believers, and Khorasan was also respected by Islam in the past. As a result, the law in the country is always focused on protecting the interests of Islam. This Buddhist temple is not allowed to be built in the center of the inner city of Marun.

Now the name of Khorasan has been changed, and there has been a great increase in the number of Buddhist believers in the country. In the court, Buddhist believers also have a certain weight. If we respect Islam and suppress non-Muslims everywhere, there will be hidden worries about the division of the country.

Therefore, Li Chengji has ordered the Criminal Department to take the lead and join other departments and department-level agencies to discuss the reformulation of the national law. For example, in the case of religious law, whether and how to change it needs to be discussed with the Department of Missions and the House of Elders.

The construction of the Temple of Mercy and Grace this time has caused many twists and turns.

At first, the Muslim elders of the House of Elders resisted and demanded that the construction of the temple be stopped. Then the major mosques began to jointly request that the reputation of the Muslim holy site in the city of Maru be maintained. Later, there was a situation where believers smashed the Temple of Mercy and Grace, and the workers went on strike to stop the construction of the Temple of Mercy and Grace.

When this happened, Li Chengji was still in Xia Kingdom.

Therefore, at the beginning, it was the joint government of the six ministers.

After some deliberation, it was decided to severely punish the troublemakers. The two elders who are directly involved in the House of Elders will be removed from the list. The remaining elders, who were not deeply involved, all issued warnings of demotion.

At that time, Pashwa Jiya followed Lee Seung-ji on the march, but he was fortunate to avoid this incident. Now he has become the great elder of the House of Elders, and he has the greatest right to speak.

He has a gentle temperament and is also more interesting. He Yijing also often discussed one or two things about Buddhism. The relationship between the two is not bad. In the territory of the Xia Kingdom, I have also seen other eminent monks. Although his religion was different, it did not prevent him from making friends with scholars of other religions.

The newly formed Great Yuan Empire is no longer the mono-religious Khorasan state it once was. For other believers, we can no longer blindly suppress them.

Therefore, the gentle Pashwa Jiya is in line with Li Chengji's intentions.

It is precisely for this reason that Pashwa Giya, who joined Khorasan not long ago, sat on the very prestigious throne of the Grand Elder of the House of Elders.

Today's founding ceremony, the Temple of Mercy and Grace also sent monks to attend. They also lined up in a phalanx, just waiting to be reviewed by Li Chengji.

At the moment, the high platform is full, and the guests are already seated. The surrounding avenues are all blocked. The people who entered the ceremony were arranged to attend the ceremony in a pre-designated area. Banners were pulled all around, and soldiers in armor watched to prevent uninteresting people from rushing indiscriminately.

But the people's mouths couldn't be stopped, and all the viewing venues were full of people. Together, it's like a wet market. I was chattering, and I couldn't hear what the person next to me was saying.

It's just that the stands are different!

Because of the high distance from the ground, the people below could not say anything to them. The envoy of the country of Els sat next to the envoy of Georgia, Mamikonian, and said with a smile: "There are so many people in Khorasan! Compared with our country, it is really far beyond it! ”。

And he is telling the truth!

The Els State was a small state that split off from the Principality of Kievan Rus'. Not far from the Kpchak Union! In the past, there were always Kipchak tribes who bullied them, but now they have all been beaten away by the Khorasan.

This made the whole country of Els jubilant and fearful.

Because the country of Khorasan is so strong, will it destroy their country of Els by the way?
