Baili Wuji said: "Oh? What is the solution to monopoly? What about partition? ”

"Hegemony is the hegemony of a country, and the hegemony of a clan, so His Majesty must cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. Partition means that the three kingdoms will stand together, and all ethnic groups will coexist. ”

Baili Wuji asked flatly: "What the Taoist chief said about cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, who is cutting and removing whom?" ”

Chen Shu said: "Chopping grass is naturally all ethnic groups in the Liao Kingdom. ”

Baili Wuji heard it, chopping grass and cutting it is the Liao State, so the root is naturally the Zhou State, Chen Tuan, as a subject of the Zhou State, naturally can't be open-mouthed, but his heart can be punished.

Baili Wuji didn't break it, but just shook his head and said: "God has given life to the people of all ethnic groups, naturally there is a reason, if I slaughter the people of Liao, I am afraid it will be against the will of heaven, and besides, I am not a person who loves to kill, this matter must not be done." ”

Chen Jian sighed in his heart when he heard this, he didn't expect that the famous Ming Emperor was also a person who was not decisive in the face of things, and when he was constantly interrupted, he would suffer from its chaos. It seems that he shouldn't have come, and the world is still Zhao Kuangyin's world.

Chen Tuan's heart was rolling, but his face was still silent, and he said: "Your Majesty, it seems that you have chosen the Three Kingdoms to rule the world?" ”

Baili Wuji smiled: "Next to the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly?" I don't like to share with others. ”

Chen Shu was surprised when he heard this: "What does Your Majesty mean by this?" Neither cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, but also not sharing with others, how to resolve the current situation of Ming, Liao, and Zhou? ”

Baili Wuji thought about it for a while and said: "The emperor of Zhou is my righteous brother, and Ming and Zhou are still allies. And don't care. The Liao State has been a disaster for the Central Plains for many years, how can I let it continue to be a disaster? ”

Chen Shu thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty wants to get rid of the Liao State and divide the Zhou State?" ”

Baili Wuji smiled. Said: "That's the afterword, I haven't thought about it yet." ”

Chen Jian slandered in his heart, looking at you, it seems that you didn't think about it, and you obviously didn't want to say it. But since Baili Wuji doesn't want to say it, I'm afraid no one in the world can force him to say it.

Chen Hang asked: "Since Your Majesty doesn't want the Liao Kingdom to continue to be troubled, and you don't want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, I don't know how to govern Liao?" ”

Baili Wuji listened to the "governance" in Chen Tuan's words. With a smile in his heart, this word was used well, and he smiled: "The main body of the Liao State is the eight departments of the old Khitan. Later, he joined the eight divisions of Wugu and the enemy, and only then did he grow, and then he was included in the old Bohai country, which was even more powerful. I have now stripped the eight tribes of Wugu Enemy Lie from the Liao State. Then isolate the Tatar tribe. Make the two ethnic groups independent, so that the Liao State still has the strength to cause disaster to the Central Plains? ”

When Chen Jian heard this, his heart was shocked, if the Liao State was really divided into three independent countries, then the Central Plains would really be able to enjoy peace, but the problem also came, he asked: "How can Your Majesty guarantee that the Khitan, Wugu, and Yan clans will not be merged again?" ”

Baili Wuji saw Chen Jian as if he was breaking the sand pot and asking to the end. sighed in his heart, this Chen Qian is almost ninety years old. He also likes to talk about politics so much, it seems that the legend is correct, he is really a person with a strong desire for politics.

Chen Tong has been a smart teenager since he was a child, good at reading, poetry, books, Yi, medicine, everything. In the second year of Zhongxing in the Later Tang Dynasty (931), Chen Tuan joined the ranks of the Jinshi who took the entrance examination, and figured out the Guò imperial examination to embark on the road of politics, but he did not pass the examination. At this time, his parents died, and he also ran away from home, "traveling all over the world and having great ambitions", and his disciple Chongfang also said that he was "the way of the Ming Emperor and the king". This shows that he was originally a person with political ambitions, and the books he read were not Taoist techniques, but the techniques of the kings and tyrants of the traditional scholars' outer Confucian and internal laws, and figured out the guò imperial examination to enter the imperial court. After repeated failures, he traveled all over the world, looking for opportunities, and finally settled in Huashan, and found that Taoism could also be a tool for him to realize his political ambitions, so he abandoned literature and Taoism and became a Taoist priest.

Baili Wuji said: "I put the three clans under the rule of the Ming Kingdom, granted the throne to the three clans, ordered them to guard against each other, and then sent the Ming army to be stationed in the three places, so how can the three clans become one?" ”

Chen Tuan nodded secretly, this strategy is a good way, these three clans are adjacent to each other, and each is a vassal king, naturally no one will obey anyone, as long as the open and secret fight continues, in this way, the strength will naturally be consumed, and the hatred will become deeper and deeper, and there will be no possibility of merging into one. Moreover, with the Ming army stationed, there is even more preparation for emergencies. It seems that the person in front of him is not as indecisive as he just thought, but has already had a block.

With this understanding, Chen Jian began to change the topic and asked Baili Wuji: "Your Majesty, but I don't know how to deal with the relationship between Ming and Zhou?" Could it be that in the long-term alliance, the Central Plains will be divided in two? As the saying goes, there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country. ”

Baili Wuji said: "Since the Han Dynasty, the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time." Now that the Central Plains has been in turmoil for many years, people are thinking together, I don't need to be in a hurry, this matter will definitely come to pass. ”

Chen Jian saw that Baili Wuji began to play dumb riddles again, so he could only change the topic again. He thought for a moment and asked, "What does Your Majesty think about the dispute between Taoism, Buddha, and Confucianism in the world?" ”

Baili Wuji said: "Confucianism is the foundation of learning, and it must not be abolished." As for the two schools of religion, Taoism and Buddhism, I do not believe in them or evil them, and I will not support one of them to become dominant. ”

Chen Jun asked: "Have you ever thought that religion can gather the people and build momentum for Your Majesty, and many things will be much more convenient. ”

Baili Wuji said: "I rule the world by law, religion can become my tool, but it will never become my partner." Both Taoism and Buddhism can only operate within my tolerance, and once that is passed, I label them as evil jiao. ”

Chen Shu was shocked: "How to distinguish the degrees that His Majesty said? If the people of the world voluntarily believe in religion, how can His Majesty stop it? ”

Baili Wuji stared at Chen Shu and said: "I can feed and clothe the people of the world, can Taoism or Buddhism?" Although the people are not enlightened and are fooled into obeying them, as long as I can feed and clothe them, they will naturally return to me. The Taoist chief knows that the most impatient people in the world are the people. ”

Chen Yan's face gradually changed, he understood, Baili Wuji was warning him, fooling the people was only a temporary success, as long as the people did not have to worry about food and clothing, they would never always follow.

Baili Wuji said leisurely: "The Taoist chief should have heard that the imperial examination of the Ming Kingdom is different from the Zhou State, I am determined to open the wisdom of the people, and the rumors stop at the wise, once the people of the world are no longer fooled, but there will be a large number of believers to follow, and they are not afraid of life and death for the teaching?" I'm afraid it's not one in a thousand, right? ”

After a pause, Baili Wuji continued: "As for the degree, I don't plan to ban Taoism and Buddhism, I can set up a religious affairs office, and the heads of each religion will serve as the sub-offices, and each state is allowed to set up a temple and Taoist temple, but the people must apply to the religious affairs department to join the religion, register in the register, and cannot accept it without authorization."
