Chapter 135: The Imperial Capital's Faith Restriction Order
The Supreme Decree of the Imperial Capital Central Building, the "Restriction of Belief Act", was issued from the Supreme Court, and was jointly confirmed and implemented by the Supreme Head of the Imperial Capital, the Imperial Capital Council, and the grassroots forces of the Imperial Capital, restricting the area of faith and the number of believers, and at the same time restricting the registration of all religions within the influence of the Imperial Capital, implementing the official takeover of the Imperial Capital, declaring to the outside world to prevent the control of religious thoughts, and all kinds of broadcasts and movies on resisting religious beliefs are constantly being broadcast in various places.
The western part of the imperial capital, the branch hall of the Dawn Church, is the center of faith that manages all the areas of influence in the imperial capital.
Covering an area of 20 acres (about 10,000 square meters), the temple stands in the central area of the western part of the imperial capital, with white walls throughout, carved with a large number of exquisite statues and historical patterns of the development of the church.
In such a momentum, the person facing it will feel very small.
The momentum of this temple has a tendency to overwhelm the central building, and some reasonable people can see at a glance that the official law promulgated by the imperial capital today is directly aimed at the Dawn Church.
It's just that compared to the wealth of the Dawn Church, the officials of the imperial capital are inferior to themselves, which will definitely make most people blush.
In the central hall of the Victor Temple, Du Tao was about to leave after his daily prayers, but when he turned around, he saw a person standing behind him, and from the appearance of the other party, he had been standing for a while.
"Why are you here? Let the Association of the Awakened see it, and your value will be exhausted. Du Tao frowned, and his eyes swept towards the person in front of him, "Don't think about letting people see it, when the time comes, do you think the Awakened Association will offend us for you?" Or do you think that under our cultivation, your wings are stiff and you have the ability to escape from our palms? ”
Wang Wen's neck shrank, only feeling that all his thoughts were nowhere to hide in the eyes of the other party, and he hurriedly shook his head, "My lord, do you think that if I escaped from the battle, let the Awakened Association know, let Zhou Da know, and will let me live?" Don't worry, my lord, I won't have two hearts now, and I have been walking the path on the way here, and I have to go around seven or eight times before entering the temple through the side door. ”
"That's good, say, what's the matter with me!?"
Du Tao nodded, put down the scriptures in his hand, and led Wang Wen towards the side hall.
The side hall is very secretive, located at the back of the center of the temple, if someone enters the temple to eavesdrop on the conversation between them, they must pass through layers of levels, which will inevitably alarm the warning magic that has been pre-arranged.
Wang Wen looked around, the dim light made the space very dull, a small statue of the god was placed at the front of the room, the red and white scarves blocked the view layer by layer, and the wind blowing from nowhere blew the scarf to reveal the small statue, which made the atmosphere more depressing.
After settling down, Wang Wen spoke: "My lord, I have two things this time, one is that the information of all the awakened people of the Awakened Association has been obtained, and half of the senior management of the association agrees with the conditions you gave to join the Dawn Church, and the other ......"
Speaking of this, he paused and said again, "The second thing is that the official of the imperial capital has promulgated a new law, the Restriction of Faith Act, today, and at the same time, radio and movies will be promoted in turn from six o'clock in the morning to six o'clock in the evening. ”
"What's going on?"
Du Tao bit his lower lip, his frowning brows never let go, and he fell silent.
It took a while for the silence to break.
"Don't worry about the bill for the time being, the Holy Land will react, not to mention that the imperial capital officials have done nothing more stupid than this, the high-level can enjoy the glory and wealth, and the awakened can get resources and improve their strength by themselves, and have the motivation to move forward, but what about ordinary people? They are satisfied with the basic survival, so what will they pursue? What's more, the imperial capital has such strict control over the source core of the awakening needs. ”
"Not to mention the military-specific source liquid."
"It's only a matter of time before we rebound, so we're still concerned about the issue of the Awoken Association where you are located, and the Radiant Knight Captain has issued a death order on this matter, and has come up with conditions that will make the top echelons of the priest faction happy, so you should understand."
After Du Tao finished speaking slowly, his brows also relaxed, and his face slowed down a lot, he was able to achieve this position and Shen Wei, the chief of the Glorious Knight, was inseparable from it, and he was promoted from a bishop in a hard-hit area like Shenzhen to the central archbishop of the imperial capital power area, which simply crossed a chasm.
Therefore, he will naturally leave no stone to do this little thing for Shen Wei, the Shining Knight Chief, although he doesn't understand why the other party is clinging to a small force, but he also understands what he can ask and what he can't ask.
What's more, the clergyman's faction to which he belonged put down their bodies to help him under the great temptation.
The Dawn Church is not as harmonious as it seems from the outside world, and the struggle between the priest faction and the Knights has always existed since its establishment, not because the two sides are not accustomed to each other, but because the two sides are extremely capable, and they want to try to maintain the balance of power between the two sides, and neither wants to suppress the other, nor does they want to be strong against the other.
The balance protection mechanism of the self.
In Xiao Feng's view, this is also very conducive to the progress of the church, if the church is really twisted into a rope, it lacks self-vigilance and crisis awareness.
"Alright, this side of the matter is put aside, you leave through the secret door over there for a while, and now you can't let the people of the Awoken Guild see you enter and leave the Dawn Church Temple." Du Tao issued an eviction order, and now he needs to report the information here to a higher level, and at the same time apply for free decision-making permission.
A central archbishop like him, in charge of one side, has enormous power, and any decision can lead to strategic failure with serious consequences.
All decisions must be reported to the higher levels and approved by the church headquarters, and before that, no unauthorized action can be taken, which is a protection mechanism, and there are also applications for dismissal, in order to better deal with major accidents.
……
After the Imperial Capital's "Restriction of Faith Act" was issued, it began to be implemented, and not many people on the monarch's heart could really understand it, probably in order to convince the public, all religion-related organizations were forcibly seized and began to replace leaders.
The Imperial Capital had only completed the acquisition of the newly acquired territory, and after recovering from a great injury, it experimented with a new strategy, and the control of religious beliefs within the Imperial Capital reached an outrageous level.
For the common people, this is undoubtedly a deprivation of their right to believe, that is, the right to think!
This is not a primitive society, the people are in a state of ignorance, and now the vast majority of people have undergone higher education, and at worst have a primary Chinese certificate, which is simply unacceptable, but helpless.
But there is one thing that the imperial capital has done very well, that is, the previous acquiescence and restriction order on the faith of the Dawn Church, as well as the consent to the legitimacy of the Dawn Church, which has made some religious believers feel a lot of relief, at least not forever, it may be a temporary ban, and I hope it will be opened in the future.
"Mother, this is a boiled frog in warm water, and all our blood has been boiled! Isn't it ridiculous to give a little sweetness and a stick every two days to make us hopeful? "In a flat room, a young man vents his frustration with indignation, and he lives in a room made up of prefabricated houses, which are the cheapest houses, and the people who live in such rooms belong to the lowest class of the imperial capital, that is, the poor.
"Faith can be secret, what can you do now? Fight with those officials? Or do you want to say a street parade? Don't think about these useless things, son! Once you respond, I'm afraid those awakened masters will let you die in the west. The young man's mother teased, speaking with a kind of amusement, laughing widely, falling into the satisfaction of the life she now has.
"Mom, you're just too easy to get satisfied." The man shook his head helplessly, and sat on a bed made of tattered quilts.
"Okay, won't you understand in two days?"
"I just want to make a little contribution to human rights, think about the past, those old men have never considered us minorities, who speak ******** and everyone equally? They all flew to the dogs. ”
The man was still angry, but calmed down as he spoke.
"Hehe, after all, your status and identity are not qualified."
His mother continued to laugh, not knowing whether to mock the old men or her own stupid son.
……
The Sword Pavilion of the Holy Land of the Dawn Church, the main hall of the Papal Palace.
After Xiao Feng listened to all the reports of the priests below, his fingers tapped on the armrest again, and the sound of dada sounded in the temple.
In Xiao Feng's opinion, the official approach of the imperial capital is very smart, and the control of the people's hearts is very strong, and even from all aspects to attract the people's hearts, and minimize the harm, before the end of the world, it can even easily affect the hearts of the people across the country, oppress everything that is not liked, such as the rights that some vulnerable groups should obtain.
But the imperial capital underestimated the importance of religious belief for an ordinary person in the last days, after the survival was guaranteed, the material base could not be satisfied, and due to the powerful oppression of the high-level, he could only seek spiritual satisfaction, and now the spirit and materials could not be satisfied at the same time, which had pressed the spring to the lowest.
"The spring effect? Interesting. ”
Xiao Feng stopped tapping his fingers and raised his head to give the latest order.
ps: It's a little late today, sorry! Xiaobi went out for a meal and came back a little late.
