In the evening, the inner court assembled.

I told them all about it.

Everyone was amazed at why the imposter would say such a thing.

Liu Xingchao, the head of the inner court, said to Li Feiyu: "How did you do it? ”

Li Feiyu: "The fool I specially chose is stupid and cowardly!" And I taught him well, and I tried it many times without any problem! ”

Liu Xingchao frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Call the Divine Sect Headquarters and ask the Divine Sect Supervisor Zhang Leyi to come to the palace." ”

One of his subordinates listened to the order and went out to make a phone call.

After a while, he came back and said, "Report to the manager, as soon as I talked about the situation, Zhang Leyi hung up my phone." If you hit it again, you can't get through, and the other party pinched the line. ”

Liu Xingchao slapped his thigh: "Damn, I know!" This guy was Li Yongfu's person back then, I wanted to kill him, but he knelt down and begged me, and I spared him as soon as my heart softened. This bastard still became a traitor! ”

Liu Xingchao shouted: "Come on, send the forbidden army to surround the headquarters of the Divine Sect, and chop Zhang Leyi into pulp for me!" ”

But he immediately said, "Wait a minute! Forget it, let him live one more day, this will let the court come out in advance. ”

The next day's court meeting was again an elite court meeting with a small number of people.

Kong Youli, the royal priest and head of Confucianism, the president of the Imperial University, and the head of the Department of Confucianism, appeared first.

After laboriously bowing to the emperor with his huge body, he said: "Your Majesty, yesterday the holy woman made wild remarks, calling me a cult and calling me a traitor. Your Majesty, please! ”

Emperor Zhu Honghua sat on the dragon chair, this kind of thing has exceeded his imagination.

He could destroy a province at will, but he didn't dare to say anything to the Holy Sect.

He had no choice but to look at the chief and prime minister at the front.

Prime Minister Li Guozhong: "I was also present at the time, and the matter was out of our control. It's easy to abolish the status of Confucianism—"

At this time, Kong Youli puffed out his stomach and glared at the prime minister.

Li Guozhong continued: "But she actually wants to castrate more than 80,000 students of the Imperial University! Those are the treasures of the great warriors. Really castrated, they will definitely rebel. ”

Jin Yuguang, head of the household department: "Your Majesty can't destroy a university for a woman." ”

Xie Lingxue, the head of the Ministry of Rites, said impatiently to Jin Yuguang: "You are stupid, is this a woman's problem?" She is a saint and represents the Holy Land! ”

Jin Yuguang: "Then what do you say?" ”

Xie Lingxue: "How do I know! You can figure it out for yourself with less sycophancy. ”

Jin Yuguang: "Okay, you dare to ......"

Li Guozhong: "Okay, stop arguing!" ”

He turned to Liu Xingchao, the head of the inner court, and said, "How do you think this thing is done? ”

Liu Xingchao: "The saint is getting more and more excessive, but what can we do?" ”

The Imperial University is the base camp of the scholars, and Liu Xingchao can't wait to castrate all those scholars.

Prime Minister Li Guozhong also knew about Xiao Jiujiu in the inner court, and he said to Liu Xingchao: "Lord Governor, what I want to say is that if these people are really castrated, so many scholars will rebel, and they will still have to work with the forbidden army to suppress it." ”

Liu Xingchao: "The prime minister is too worried, the forbidden army will always support the royal family." What you do, we are all backed by you. ”

Li Guozhong: "Then I would like to ask, to what extent can the Holy Land control the interior now?" ”

Liu Xingchao pursed his lips, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "It's hard to say, I thought the holy land no longer existed a few days ago." But now it seems that they should have some internal correspondence in the mainland. ”

Li Guozhong: "Where?" ”

Liu Xingchao: "How do I know where it is?" If I knew, I would have killed them all. ”

Li Guozhong: "To what extent is the Holy Land familiar with our situation?" ”

Liu Xingchao thought for a while: "It's not much, they don't know much about us, you can understand it if you think about it." They don't know us more than we know about them. ”

Li Guozhong: "If we deceive the saint, can we succeed?" ”

Liu Xingchao: "If you do a good job on the surface, you can probably deceive for a while, I don't think that woman is smart." ”

Li Guozhong looked around and said, "The Imperial University is too eye-catching, so it's better to change its name and motto first, and then talk about it when this matter is over." ”

Liu Xingchao: "This is also a method that cannot be done. However, there are some things that can be difficult to do, such as—"

-

-

Liu Xingchao: "For example, as the Confucian master said, Confucianism and Confucianism. ”

Everyone looked at him, especially Kong Youli who looked at him expectantly.

Liu Xingchao: "The Imperial University is just a university, but what about Confucianism and Theosophism? The saint has to respect the gods and destroy Confucianism, what can I do? Chang'an is full of Confucians, and there are statues of Confucius in every building, which is not easy to change. ”

Kong Youli: "Yes, it's better to solve that woman." As...... Kill her? ”

As soon as he said this, everyone in the hall took a breath of cool air.

Damn it! The leader of Confucianism actually came up with this idea! Doesn't he like to talk about "benevolent government" the most?

Liu Xingchao glared at him and said, "Killing that woman was never in my plan. ”

He faced everyone again: "I'm afraid everyone has to choose one of two things, whether it is Confucianism or God's religion." Let's talk about it? ”

Haha, only insiders know that Liu Xingchao is also a theological cultist - it's just that he belongs to the "fundamentalist" or "spiritual" or "pantheistic" category of theists.

Kong Youli said anxiously: "What is the problem? What's there to discuss about this?! ”

Still, people began to discuss Confucianism and Theosophism, as if a group of students were seriously discussing their homework.

They discussed which of Confucianism or Confucianism was the most loyal to the royal family.

I thought to myself, you are not a royal family, you care about this, it is really the emperor who is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry.

The outcome of their discussion was:

Confucianism and Confucianism are both "weak people" policies, and they are similar in terms of ignoring the people, but one is to join the WTO and the other is to be born.

Confucianism emphasizes absolute loyalty to the emperor and is very stable in peacetime. Precisely because they are usually stable, the rulers will have no scruples, and then various dynasties will fall very frequently and violently. It has been of this type for the last few thousand years.

The Cult of God is about absolute loyalty to God, and the royal family is nothing more than a messenger of God. The royal power is subject to the head of the Cult, and the royal family has little power, and they can't do much bad things if they want to, so their dynasties usually last for a long time, often 811 years. Moreover, when the dynasty is changed, there is no need to kill all the people in the country, as long as the "god" and the head of the god cult agree. That was a long, long time ago.

Of course, these are all written on forbidden books, and they are very old forbidden books, and it is impossible for ordinary people to know about them.

- Kong Youli: "What are you talking about! My great Confucianism is a line of eternity. ”

Xie Lingxue: "I'm most annoyed by those hereditary scholars in the court, I don't understand anything, and the corpse is vegetarian!" ”

Although Confucianism is the state religion of the Ming Dynasty, those scholars do not necessarily believe in it, those imperial officials do not necessarily believe in it, and the emperor does not believe in it.

It is a tool for the superior to rule over the inferior, and it is believed in by the inferior, not by the superior.

Although the state religion of the Ming Dynasty is Confucianism, there is no guarantee that it has always been.

For the imperial family and the imperial court, there was no difference between ruling by Confucianism and Confucianism.

Therefore, there was a heated debate about whether to support Confucianism or Christianity, and no opinion prevailed.

Some people say that they support Confucianism, because Confucianism is already the first major religion, and it is too troublesome to change religions. Some people support the Cult of God, after all, the Holy Land is not easy to mess with.

Kong Youli: "Monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, fathers and sons, the Ming royal family has always been kind to me about Confucianism, how can we live up to Your Majesty's high expectations?" ”

Xie Lingxue: "Have you ever heard of the idiom 'grace will take revenge'?" What do you think people invented this idiom for? ”

Kong Youli: "What do you mean?" Are you a believer? ”

Xie Lingxue: "First, I don't believe in God, I believe in Taoism. Second, even if I believe in God, what can you do to me? Is it illegal? You have to take care of it! ”

They quarreled again.

At this time, a person shouted: "Everyone has to reason, what are you arguing about!" ”

This person is not very old, but his hair and beard are so lush that he is overflowing, and at first glance, he thought it was Kong Youli, who was one size younger - that was because he was Kong Youli's second son, Kong Zhilun.

Kong Zhilun was the assistant to the royal high priest, and the predecessor of this position was his brother.

His brother's name is Kong Zhisun, the eldest son of Kong Youli, and he is also a Confucian prince, who was sent back to Shandong for introspection a few years ago because he molested the palace maid in public in the palace.

Kong Youli doesn't like this Kong Zhilun very much, because this son is not only a concubine, but also always wants to replace his brother's position.

But he didn't want to give the position of the sacrificial assistant to outsiders, so he had to give it to Kong Zhilun.

At this time, Kong Youli saw his son stand up and shout, with a happy expression on his face, it was obvious that his son would come to help him quarrel.

-

Kong Zhilun stood in front of Kong Youli and Xie Lingxue and said to them, "You are all arguing wrong. Which religion we want to support, it is not a reason to teach the big and teach the small, which religion is the most correct is not a reason, and it is not a reason for the emperor to be good to anyone. You're arguing about meaningless things, and they're all wrong! ”

Kong Youli thought that his son was here to help him, but when he said this, he was so angry that his beard exploded.

He pointed to his son's nose and shouted, "Are you going to twist your elbow out?" ”

Kong Zhilun glanced at his father, walked in front of the emperor, and at the same time stood in front of all the ministers, and said: "We do one thing or support a person because this thing or this person is good for us. We know that this man is good for us, not because we expect him to do it, not because we treat him well and he will do it, but because: he has done it often before, and he will do it in the future. ”

He continued: "I'll tell you a story, a real thing that happened in reality. More than 20 years ago in Shandong, it was the battle of the Eight Kings, when the war was in chaos, and one person hid the gold and silver treasures. He had two friends who knew about this, one was very depressed and the man often helped him, and the other friend was also rich and often helped the man. When robbers come to his house and rob him, who will betray him, who will help him? ”

Someone said: "Of course it's the first one, and you naturally have to repay it for helping him." ”

Someone said, "The second one, I've seen too many things like this." ”

Kong Zhilun: "This is what really happened to our family!" That man was my uncle, and the people who helped him still helped him when he was suffering, and the people he helped killed him when he was suffering! ”

Kong Youli nodded and said, "It's true, my brother died like this." ”

People suddenly realized, as if they were pondering the philosophy of life.

Kong Zhilun: "Facts have proved that the people you often help will not help you, and the people who often help you will continue to help you!" Let's think about it, twenty years ago, the world was in turmoil, what kind of people supported the emperor and the crown prince? Is it favored by the emperor, or is it disgusted by the emperor? Those emperors are the most favorable, they should be loyal to the emperor and the crown prince, but what did they do? They were the first to rebel! Only the loyal Shandong has always supported the emperor and the crown prince, and the eight princes took turns to slaughter Shandong, but Shandong never gave in. Why? Because we believe in Confucianism, we only recognize the emperor alone. ”

He saw that everyone was listening attentively, and finally said, "Therefore, if everyone thinks that they support the Divine Cult now, and the Divine Cult will be loyal to the Emperor in the future, it is impossible!" And Shandong, which supported the emperor in the past, now supports the emperor, and will swear to support the emperor in the future. I can say responsibly that if this happens again in the future, the most loyal will still be Shandong, and it will still be Confucianism! ”

Hearing his speech, I decided to give him 99 points. There are very few people who can get into my eyes.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked, and then they all applauded and shouted: "Good".

Even the emperor Zhu Honghua on the dragon chair gave a thumbs up.

So the meeting decided - to help Confucianism and destroy the gods.

Of course, it is not to destroy God openly, but to do evil in secret. For example, cutting off the water and electricity at the headquarters of the Cult, secretly arresting their followers, deducting their salaries and salaries, and so on......

Prime Minister Li Guozhong asked the governor Liu Xingchao: "What does the Royal Senate mean, and what religion do they support?" ”

Liu Xingchao shook his head: "I don't often contact the Royal Senate now. ”

Li Guozhong: "Will they oppose Confucianism?" ”

Liu Xingchao: "No. They didn't care about it for so many years. The Holy Land Senate should support the Divine Religion, and the Sichuan Senate has long been separated from the Holy Land Senate, and as for the Royal Senate, it probably has nothing to do with the Holy Land Senate. ”

"However," Liu Xingchao thought for a while and said, "The Royal Senate should listen to the Holy Maiden's orders, and we are here to discuss the secret plot of the Divine Sect, I don't know what the Royal Senator will think." ”

Li Guozhong: "Just don't tell them." ”

Liu Xingchao laughed and said, "The question is, who of us here will tell the Senate?" It won't be me, but I can't guarantee anyone else. But it doesn't matter, the senators will never come out, everyone can rest assured to do it, and then talk about it. ”

Kong Zhilun said to the emperor: "The Divine Cult has an apologetic army; Taoism also has an army, and the Wudang faction is theirs; Buddhism also has armies, such as the Shaolin in the north and south. Only Confucianism is a group of powerless scholars, and I implore that a Confucian army be established as well, I don't know if it is feasible? ”

Prime Minister Li Guozhong: "I have no opinion. ”

Manager Liu Xingchao: "I have no opinion. ”

Emperor Zhu Honghua: "Yes." ”
