Chapter 9 Xihe Teaching
In the Far Star East Continent, after the Dawn Empire unified all the small countries north of the Quercus Xili, plus the northwest region connected to the West Continent also became the territory of the Dawn Church one after another, and some small countries that were powerless to resist in the face of strong military strength directly surrendered and depended, directly abandoning their former suzerain.
At this time, the entire Eastern Continent was only supported by the Miyue Empire, in fact, if there was no sudden cessation of the Dawn Knight Expeditionary Legion, in the next few days, this ancient empire that had supported thousands of years would collapse and be destroyed, and even the final result would be even more miserable than those empires and civilizations in the Western Continent.
The Imperial Palace of the Miyue Empire, a huge palace complex covering an area of 30,000 acres, is like a scroll of thousands of miles, the most quintessential things of this civilization are all spread out on this canvas, majestic palaces, exquisite decorations, orderly towers, beautiful gardens, etc., this is the pinnacle masterpiece of architectural art.
The royal study, a room five or six meters high, two groups of mahogany bookcases, the bookcases are full of scrolls, as well as rare and precious solitary books, the emperor of the Miyue Empire sat at the desk like this, looking at a bamboo slip, the cyan blood vessels on the back of the slightly old hand were exposed, like a dragon spreading, and the palm holding the edge of the bamboo slip was still trembling.
"Ridiculous! After 600 years, the glorious empire stands at the top of the world! How can those barbarians help me!? Our country is mighty and strong, and those foreign enemies dare not act rashly, you see, now those enemies have stopped before fighting, this is not afraid of our country's power and prosperity, what else can it be? Colin, it's impossible to surrender and cling, if you persuade again, I will definitely put you in prison! ”
Emperor Miyue raised his head indifferently and looked at the hero standing in front of him, thinking that the other party had some good strategy, but he didn't expect that this hero who saved the empire from fire and water actually advised himself to surrender!
This made him so angry that he even wanted to kill the other party with a sword, but the identity of the other party was really special.
Colin, the founder of Xihejiao, is also the pope of the state religion of the Miyue Empire, although he has no special strength and low force, but more than three-fifths of the commoners and nobles in the Miyue Empire are believers in this religion, once something goes wrong with the Pope, I am afraid that the whole country will be unstable, especially in this tense period.
"Your Majesty, the minister will retire first."
Colin felt the faint killing intent hidden under Emperor Miyue's eyes, which made him feel ridiculous, if it weren't for himself, this empire would have fallen apart a year ago, where would it be his turn to continue to be the emperor. Killing intent? Hehe, it is said that the heavenly family is ruthless, which is not wrong at all.
Colin didn't stop for a moment, and left the study straight after retiring.
After he left, two figures wrapped in red robes appeared behind Emperor Miyue.
"This is always an outsider, you guys are good to monitor his every move, once there is any wrongdoing, take it immediately, I allow you to cut it first and then play the right, take it." Emperor Miyue's deep voice was mixed with death, and his words fell, and a national beast token engraved in gold with the symbol of the Miyue Empire flew directly into the hands of one of the two people wrapped in a red robe behind him.
……
Colin returned to a temple in the imperial capital, which was filled with the upper echelons of the church. While Colin entered the Miyue Empire and created and expanded the Xihe Sect, he did not abandon the initial group of people, but gathered them all together, which was his core.
"Dear Pope, what does Your Majesty say?"
A thin young man stepped forward, his eyes were full of anxiety, he was different from the others, he was from Quercus Xili, and he was also Colin's former comrade-in-arms, so he knew the strength of the Dawn Church very well, especially when he learned that the entire Western Continent had fallen, he completely understood what the true strength of the Dawn Church had reached.
That's the whole continent, not one or two countries.
In his eyes, the strength of the Miyue Empire is a full century apart from the once most powerful Yonago Empire in the world, and the weapons possessed by the Migo Empire, which has experienced the first industrial revolution and is undergoing the second industrial revolution, are enough to easily defeat this dynasty that looks strong on the surface, but is rotten and fragile inside.
"Disagree, now go into the dark room and continue the discussion."
Colin led his team towards the main statue of the temple - behind the statue of the Lord of the Dawn, Radiant Light, gently moved one of the stone bricks, and soon a narrow stone door opened, and the crowd followed, and the door closed again.
Xihe Sect, dedicated to two gods, one is the almighty Lord of the Dawn Shine, and the second is the Holy Maiden Vine, Colin is imitating the Slovianism, he wants to use the structure and doctrine of the Dawn Church to put the Holy Maiden Vine on the throne.
In fact, he did a very good job, and while worshipping the main god, the number of followers of the subsidiary deity, the holy Maiden Fuji, greatly exceeded the number of believers who believed in the light.
This is Xihejiao.
"My lord, the current influence and accumulated strength of the Xihe Sect are enough to overthrow this dynasty, why hang yourself in ......"
"No, we are now the state religion of the Miyue Empire, we need the cloak of the Miyue Empire, and the Dawn Church will not let go of such a huge church!"
"However, we also believe in the Lord of the Dawn!"
Someone asked puzzledly, and in this dim space, the rapid inquiries came and went, and finally intertwined into a long scarf.
"It's different, who the main belief in the Xihe Sect is, you know very well, and you should also understand that if it is just like this and there is no country to cover us, we will soon be submerged, which is why I said that the Miyue Empire is very important to us."
Colin's eyes lit up, and he had a brilliant idea.
At present, the Xihe Sect must need an empire as a shell, on the surface it belongs to the state religion, and the state religion is difficult to eliminate if the national body is indestructible, plus there are bright believers in the Xihe Sect, which will make the Dawn Church relax a lot, so as to retain a part of it as much as possible.
To be honest, Colin has no other way, the pace of the Dawn Church is so fast that he can't believe it, and he also has a deep understanding of the strength of the Dawn Church, those divine soldiers from outside the territory are simply a nightmare in the world, and any army has no chance of winning when encountered.
"It's just that this emperor is too stupid, power has already corroded his heart, disgusting!"
"Don't worry, Emperor Miyue doesn't have to worry about it, we should care about the entire country, the Dawn Church's cessation of troops is a great buffer time for us, and if we use it well, we can complete our ultimate goal."
Colin breathed a sigh of relief, the mood and movement in his eyes could not be seen in the dim candlelight, but he held everyone very firmly.
……
Miyue Empire, the domestic situation is complicated, since a few years ago Xihe Religion became the state religion, the entire empire began to recover, all kinds of advanced technology from the Western Continent was selflessly granted to this empire that once arrogantly rejected these technologies, the emergence of new technologies brought a turnaround to agriculture, the displaced people were appeased, and the country was stable again.
Xihejiao also took advantage of this opportunity to carry out a major purge of the Miyue Empire, and the black stains washed out were enough to flood the entire imperial palace.
With the strong support of the Miyue Emperor, the Xihe religion developed more rapidly, one temple after another rose from the ground, countless civilians poured into it, and this religion with advanced ideas quickly became the spiritual pillar of the people of the Miyue Empire.
It is very likely that even Emperor Miyue never thought that the strength of this religion was so terrifying and its influence was so extensive. (To be continued.) )
