Chen Shu asked, "How can the number of people join the religion be limited?" ”

"One out of a thousand. There are more than 40 million people in the Ming Dynasty, and I can accommodate more than 40,000 people to join the religion, and if there are only two religions in the world, Taoism and Buddhism, then the Taoist can have more than 20,000 believers. Is the Taoist satisfied? ”

Chen Tuan was naturally dissatisfied, but what could he do if he was not satisfied, he asked: "Does the quota of more than 40,000 people have to be shared equally between Taoism and Buddhism?" ”

Baili Wuji smiled, and he replied: "Well, this is naturally flexible." ”

Chen Tuan understood, this degree is in the hands of Baili Wuji, and it can be seen that who will be obedient to the two religions of Taoism and Buddhism in the future. And the dispute between Taoism and Buddhism has also been controlled by more than 40,000 people.

Baili Wuji saw Chen Yan's face change, and he was secretly happy in his heart, this nearly ninety-year-old "immortal" still couldn't break the fame and fortune barrier.

Baili Wuji comforted: "Dao Chief, although the population of the Ming Kingdom is only more than 40 million now, the rich Dao Elder of the people of the Ming Kingdom should know that since the establishment of the Ming Kingdom, the population has grown from less than 30 million to more than 40 million now, and it will naturally reach 80 million or even 10,000 in the future, so how many believers are more than 100,000?" ”

Chen Tuan came today, originally wanted to have another candidate in addition to Zhao Kuangyin who could realize his political ambitions, but a conversation with Baili Wuji made Chen Tuan very hurt, Baili Wuji is more ruthless than Chai Rong, Chai Rong's "extinguishing the Buddha" is only temporary, Baili Wuji does not destroy the Tao and the Buddha, but it is an eternal limit. But it is undeniable that this has also stabilized the order of the world, which is in line with Chen Shu's philosophy.

Although Chen Shu is the person at the helm of Taoism today, he is still a person who is keen on politics in his heart. He needed a reliance, a reliance that could realize his philosophy, after talking to Baili Wuji. He obviously felt that compared with Baili Wuji, Zhao Kuangyin was unattainable in terms of status, governing philosophy and strength. Therefore, Chen Tuan decided to choose Baili Wuji, and what he needs now is to fight for himself and Taoism.

"Your Majesty, there is a word in the old way that I don't know if to say or not?"

"It's okay to say it."

After Chen pondered it. He said: "The dispute between Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism has been going on for a long time, and since Your Majesty has separated Confucianism, the dispute between more than 40,000 believers in the future will add fuel to the dispute between Taoism and Buddhism." This will be detrimental to the security of the Ming Kingdom. Does 陛xià think so? ”

Baili Wuji felt a pang in his heart, and he also felt reasonable, and asked: "If you follow the opinion of the Taoist chief, what should you do?" ”

Chen Shu said: "Since His Majesty has decided to establish a religious affairs department. The heads of the sects are appointed as sub-offices. Then there must be a general administration of Zaicheng to coordinate the affairs of each branch office and each religion, and the old Taoist thinks that if this general administration is taken by Taoism, it will make the Taoists in the world deeply feel His Majesty's grace. ”

Baili Wuji suddenly wanted to win the post of Zaicheng of the General Administration for Taoism, and with this position, Taoism has to fight for more places in the quota of more than 40,000 people.

Baili Wuji covered his forehead with his hand and made a sudden appearance. He said to Chen Tuan: "Fortunately, the Taoist reminded me that I really didn't take this into account. Indeed, it is necessary to set up a general administration to coordinate the affairs of the various religions. However, if this position is held by Taoism, this ....... ”

Baili Wuji frowned lightly, with a deep groan.

Chen Jian slandered in his heart, this is fortunate that I reminded me, it is clear that I want some conditions by taking the opportunity, and I have to speak myself.

Chen Shu took advantage of the situation and said: "If Taoism is entrusted with the grace of His Majesty to act on the affairs of various religions, the Taoists will only look forward to His Majesty. ”

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Baili Wuji raised his head and smiled, and responded: "The Taoist immortal is famous, and if you want to take care of the affairs of the various religions, you will be like a blister and a cow, and you will come easily, so I will allow it." But....... ”

Chen Jian hurriedly asked, "Please tell me something." ”

Baili Wuji said: "This matter is a simple matter for the Taoist, I have heard that the Taoist has a skill in health preservation, and can also open the valley, and the medical skills are even more exquisite, I want to ask the Taoist to save two people, I don't know if the Taoist is willing?" ”

Chen Shu said: "This is a good deed, the old morality is duty-bound, dare to ask which two people are the two that Your Majesty said?" ”

Baili Wuji said: "Chai Rong, Wang Pu." ”

"Uh......." Chen Jian was stunned, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the old way can't do anything." ”

Baili Wuji was also stunned and asked, "Is the Taoist chief powerless unable to save or unwilling to save?" ”

Chen Jian sighed and said, "Your Majesty has the ambition of a great bird, why bother to save the Emperor of Zhou again?" He died early, wouldn't he save His Majesty a lot of things? ”

Baili Wuji said angrily: "Zhou Guo is Zhou Guo, Chai Rong is Chai Rong, I saved the life of my righteous brother, and it should be." But the Taoist chief didn't want to save him for this? ”

Chen Jian saw that Baili Wuji was angry, but he still shook his head and said, "It's not that Lao Dao doesn't want to save him." His Majesty should know that the Buddha is destined to treat people and immortal people, and the old Tao is really powerless. ”

Baili Wuji's heart was cold, didn't Chai Rong die of exhaustion, but what kind of terminal illness? Hurriedly asked: "Dao Elder and I explained why they couldn't do anything?" ”

Chen Shu sighed and said: "As early as when Taizu established him as the crown prince, Lao Dao secretly went to see him, and when he saw it, he knew that he was dying early, and his illness came from the mother's womb, and there was no cure. ”

Baili Wuji asked, "Congenital disease?" ”

Chen Jun nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

"Can't be cured?"

"I can't."

Baili Wuji said gloomily: "Does that Dao chief know how much yang life he still has?" ”

Chen said: "Two years at most." ”

Baili Wuji estimated in his heart that Chen Luan's words coincided with the time of Chai Rong's death in history, knowing that this matter was true, and remembering that he was facing Chai Rong day and night a few days ago, he didn't feel uncomfortable.

Chen Tuan saw that Baili Wuji was gloomy, and he was also a little moved in his heart, saying that the struggle for power was cruel, but this person in front of him begged himself to save his life for a person who would be an opponent sooner or later, and he was afraid that there would not be much in this world.

Chen Shu said: "But the other person mentioned by His Majesty, the old way can be tried, but the old way is blocked by the promise to the emperor of the Zhou State that he can no longer set foot in Kaifeng, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it." ”

Baili Wuji said: "It's okay to do this, you take my handwritten letter to Kaifeng, if Chai Rong is embarrassed by you, he will give him the letter, and he will not embarrass you." ”

Chen Tuan nodded and said, "That's very good." ”

Baili Wuji immediately wrote a letter and handed it to Chen Tuan.

Chen Shu put the letter in his arms, and said goodbye to Baili Wuji: "Lao Dao came boldly this time, and if you disturb you, please forgive your majesty." ”

Baili Wuji was in a very unhappy mood because of Chai Rong's incident, and when he saw Chen Yan say goodbye, he said: "The Taoist is good to go, and I will not be far away." Wang Pu's physical matter, I hope that the Taoist chief will bother more. ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the old way should do his best." Chen Shu replied, "Your Majesty, now that the decisive battle between the Ming and Liao countries is imminent, Lao Dao may be able to help His Majesty, or to contribute to the Han people in the Central Plains." (To be continued......)
