Wu Yingying shook his head and sighed: "Although Yang Ye won, the hatred between the Liao State and the Song State is getting deeper and deeper, and this year we will use troops in Jiaozhi, and it is impossible to send a large army to the west to crusade against us in the short term." ”

He pondered for a moment, and then said to Chase: "It takes a long time to work far away. Although Cao Han was eyeing him, Xin Gu and Yu Furen were unable to withdraw for the time being. But as long as we have our hands free, we still have to continue to pass through the desert north, and the two eyes of the Military Intelligence Department must always be fixed on those barbarians. General Xiao Jiu will soon lead the Jiaorong Army, the Iron Bone Army and the Tayan Army to the south, and join the Chi Hunting Army and the Jinfan Army to pull out the nail of the Tubo Department in Qingtang City, and completely drive the barbarian troops who disobey the military government back to the plateau. ”

After discussing the affairs of the Tax Collector's Mansion and the Military Intelligence Department in detail, Chase felt relieved, and saw a bowl of ginseng tea on Wu Yingying's desk, so he smiled and said: "Your Majesty's guidance, the ginseng that Fuhaixing bought from the Khitan has a refreshing effect, and it is better than tea, and now it has become a must-have thing for the desk of the tax collector's mansion." ”

Wu Yingying smiled dumbly and said, "There must be a limit to everything, and if a scribe wants to be energetic, he must first rely on physical fitness rather than relying on these external objects," he recalled some of the smoky scenes of the staff room in later generations, and added, "Fortunately, you have not seen an evil thing called tobacco." I've seen it in the sea market in my early years, and it's really worth a deadly poison, do you want to try it if you have a chance?" Chase said busily.

After Chase took his leave, Ma Jing, the captain of the Dragon Tooth Military Academy, came to invite Wu Yingying to the Inquisition.

Today is the day when the first priests, accredited by the Inquisition, will go to the dioceses to monitor all religious missionaries in the dioceses for errors in the interpretation of the Divine Decree, even in violation of it, and in particular for the strict censorship of what is taught in the religious schools of the various localities.

Wu Yingying believed that this system would be conducive to strengthening the control of religion, so he agreed to divide each county into several dioceses, which naturally recognized the status of accredited clergy, allowed 20 households, and announced the official establishment of seminaries today, and the inquisition of prefectures and counties were all dispatched agencies of seminaries.

On the podium of the Inquisition, Wu Yingying looked at the follow-up monk and Yang Deliang behind him with emotion, *** Religion and Buddhism are engaged in a bloody war in the Western Regions, but in the Inquisition of this Xia Kingdom, the controversy is limited to an extremely limited scope, and the ways of faith conveyed to the people are all screened.

Can Huaxia, as the only remaining classical civilization of this era, always adhere to its tolerance and rationality? He cleared his throat, looked at the fifty pairs of eyes full of reverence under the podium, and said in a deep voice:

"Priests, I, as the leader of the nation's soldiers and the people in the reverence and worship of God, in this temple of reverence and devotion to God, have always considered the king and the people to be equal beings before God. ”

"Everyone standing here must understand his own humility, and understand that whoever pretends to be evil by God's will is the greatest betrayal and disgrace to God, and for this worst of evils, every pious clergyman must fight to the end with all his body and soul, even at the cost of his life. ”

This is the mission of the Inquisition, and it is the mission of the clergy! Just as the duty of a sergeant is to protect the nation, so the duty of a clergyman is to guard the purity of the faith. ”

"God is high up and looks down on all beings, and our perception of God's will is just like a leopard in a tube, and like a summer worm. ”

"It looks like a forest with peaks on the side, far and low, but I believe that the people here are devout believers, and you have benefited greatly from the will and strength of God conveyed by your respective teachings. At a time when fanatics and demonic seducers are sowing discord between different denominations under the pretense of God's will, the great thing about the seminaries and the Inquisition is that they protect our hearts from being blinded. ”

"The seminary's leadership in faith is based on devotion to God, not on imposing a specious belief. The controversy and study of God's will has taught us that people of different denominations can gain a deeper understanding by respecting each other's beliefs. And the experience of the Inquisition tells us that to eradicate the evil demons, the outer way must be as hard as the 10,000-year-old ice on the Qilian Mountain. ”

"In addition to fighting heresy and demons, the more important duty of the clergy is to protect the faith and conscience. Do not abandon your duties because of laziness. If a child dies of a disease that could have been cured, the conscience of a qualified priest should be condemned by himself. If a traitor is not brought to justice, a qualified clergyman should take action to bring evil to justice, and if someone has turned his conscience on the back of his conscience because of greed, a good clergyman should counsel such a lost lamb. ”

"Priests, I, as the nation's sergeants and leaders of the people in the reverence and worship of God, sincerely wish you to become servants of God. Your weapon is not the sword but your piety, your strength is not to make men fearful, but to arouse hope, you are the guardians of the faith of this nation, and may the favor of God always be with you. ”

When Wu Yingying spoke, there was silence in the seminary, outside the window, the noon sun spilled through the wooden panes, the spring sun was soft and holy, reflecting the originally extremely clean and tidy lecture hall of the inquisition, fifty priests listened intently, and some of their eyes were already full of moving tears. Bathed in the early morning sun, King Xia was like a saint, and his impassioned words strengthened the priests' spirit of dedication to pure faith. "If you're not a sage, you're a devil. Yang Deliang muttered, years of dealing with various reagents and powders made his face gray, but his firm faith made his dark and thin figure like a silent volcano, and his eyes occasionally flashed with fanatical light. If someone with a sneaky heart gives him a look, he may lose his soul for a long time.

His lips were usually closed, and he would not even point out his disciples, even if he would say a word more, but when he defended his teachings and argued with others, this taciturn man seemed to suddenly rejuvenate, and he would quote scriptures and scriptures incessantly, hiding his goals like a fox until his opponents showed their flaws, and then used the sharpest words to ridicule the absurdity of the opponents.

Looking at Hexi, the most hateful thing is Yang Deliang, even if he has the general medical skills of bringing the dead back to life, has the profound knowledge of astronomy and geography, and is willing to follow his disciples, but there are only a few dozens, hundreds of believers, most of them are originally cynical and deviant non-literati, but relying on these few hundred, Yang Deliang created a momentum that forced Shazhou Academy to respond positively, and even Wu Yingying had to admit that this was a natural missionary, but unfortunately, the sect he belonged to was just a meteor.

"Elders, please take a lot of trouble with the affairs of this seminary, and you must not let the evil demons take advantage of it," Wu Yingying said to the former Inquisition, the current seminary elder, as he walked down from the pulpit, and he sighed bitterly. The orthodox Taoist sect was originally to persuade people to be good and purify all sentient beings, but unfortunately there are always some treacherous villains who infringe on the common people under the pretense of divine will, so that the Central Plains Sanwu Emperor had to do some overkill, that kind of situation is really what I don't want to see, I hope that all the elders will take the seminary as the foundation, take the minions of the Inquisition, and take the thousands of believers as their wings, and concentrate on extinguishing the evil evil ways and the villains in the sect, and bring peace and prosperity to me together. ”

In his words, he mentioned Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty, Zhou Shizong's four large-scale extermination of Buddha in the Central Plains also implicated many other Taoist difficulties, several elders were in a jump, although Wu Yingying adopted the basic principle of obeying their autonomy and non-interference in religion, but China's tradition has always been that the supreme authority and ruling foundation of the secular court must not be touched by religion, all the elders heard the meaning of his words, and they all bowed their heads and only said yes, even the unruly Yang Deliang is the same, he is a Han Chinese, and naturally knows that in the Han land it is the government that has the final say, since Wu Yingying has this vigilance, he will never tolerate the recurrence of the Yellow Turban Taiping in Hexi, Yang Deliang sighed secretly。
