After the emperor said this, the director of the National Police Agency immediately broke out in a white sweat, and his political sensitivity constantly reminded him that he might be wrong.

The hall was still silent, no one dared to stand up and express their opinions, and the ministers were a little unsure of what the emperor meant: did he want to take action against the Holy Sect, or did he want to protect the Holy Sect, or did he just knock on the Holy Sect?

The emperor didn't speak, but just looked at these ministers with mocking eyes, as if he was silently saying: "If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, what is the use of the Kingdom of St. Teresa to raise you ministers?"

In the end, Prime Minister Cenarius stood up and asked the Emperor for instructions: "Your Majesty, I think you should summon the person in charge of the Holy Sect and reprimand him, and then punish the Holy Sect to set an example?"

The Great Emperor shook his head, "Is it just such a punishment for fabricating false gods and deceiving the world? The Holy Sect has been nearly a thousand years since its establishment now, right? Over the years, they have defrauded the kingdom of a large amount of money and land in the name of the gods, won't these ill-gotten gains be recovered?"

When the emperor opened his mouth, all the ministers also knew in their hearts: It seems that His Majesty is going to severely punish the Holy Sect, at least the Holy Sect must be hemorrhaged.

Thinking so, they began to say, "Order the Holy Sect to hand over all the treasures hidden in the Sanctuary and return all the lands they have usurped in various parts of the kingdom. These ministers all have a sparkle in their eyes, so much gold, silver and jewelry, and good fields, although most of them are to be returned to the treasury, but in the process there will always be a leakage, this is a big piece of fat!

"In the minister's opinion, this holy religion has a great crime, and it must be severely punished. ”

"The first major crime is naturally to fabricate false gods and deceive the world. For a long time, this holy religion has been pretending to be a god and deceiving the people by various means. People unknowingly donate their family wealth, and some of them even go to the point of breaking their homes, which is still very harmful. ”

"The second major crime is to act as a pretension and disregard for the law. The clergy of the Holy Church professed to follow the holy scriptures, but they ignored the laws of the Kingdom and often committed acts of impunity. ”

"The third major crime is blasphemy against the royal family. The clergy of these holy religions had only their false gods in their hearts, and they were disdainful of the noble blood of the royal family and nobles, and often spoke contemptuous words. Not only that, but they often showed contempt for the majesty of the kingdom when they came and drank the officials of the kingdom. ”

"The fourth major crime is to raise an arm against the kingdom. In the name of defending the sect, the Holy Church plundered money and established illegal armed forces that belonged only to the Church. Not only that, but they often relied on their own force to resist the orders of the royal family, and there were constant disputes with the nobles in various places. ”

"The fifth major crime is to harm the people under the guise of an oracle. In the name of the gods, they set up illegal inquisitions, including black prisons, in which many mages and nobles were imprisoned and never saw the light of day. It's cruel and appalling. ”

"The sixth major crime is illegal enclosure of land and attempted treason. The Holy Sect has simply enclosed a lot of land outside the Holy Hui City, and has created a holy domain as a sect territory, which is simply a country within a country, and it cannot be forgiven. More importantly, they openly put forward the slogan of establishing the kingdom of God on earth, subverting the heart of the country, which can be learned from heaven and earth, and can be seen by the sun and the moon. ”

At this time, they didn't care about their previous friendship with the Holy Sect, or their status as "believers", and clamored one by one to punish the Holy Sect severely, hoping to get some benefits from the investigation and punishment of the Holy Sect, completely forgetting that they were timid and afraid before.

The Emperor looked at these "indignant" ministers in front of him with a smile, and said, "Since all the Aiqing are determined to severely punish the Holy Sect, it seems that this Holy Sect is really a heinous crime, and the crime cannot be forgiven. ”

"Then I hereby decree that the Holy Sect shall be a cult! In the future, no missionary work or activity shall be allowed within the territory of the Kingdom of St. Teresa, and the existing sects and organizations shall be banned and all property shall be confiscated!"

"Specific things, let you Aiqing deal with it. Suddenly, in this tone that seemed to be a joke, he suddenly ordered.

The ministers were all dumbfounded, no one expected that the Emperor would issue such an order to "exterminate the Holy Sect". Suddenly, a minister knelt down and begged: "Please also ask Your Majesty to retract your order, although the Holy Sect has serious crimes, there is still room for reform." There are many believers in the Holy Sect, and if the Holy Sect is banned rashly, I am afraid that there will be turmoil. ”

As soon as he knelt, the other ministers also knelt down one after another, and begged: "Please also ask Your Majesty to take back your order!"

How dare they go along with the Emperor's order, if the content of this palace discussion spreads, they will face a crazy counterattack from the Holy Sect. The Great Emperor was in the depths of the palace, and he was heavily guarded, so he might not be afraid, but they couldn't stand the revenge of the Holy Sect.

"Didn't you say that the Holy Religion had committed the most heinous crimes? and listed so many crimes of the Holy Religion one by one, I think it is too numerous to mention. The Emperor looked at the ministers with a smile.

This kind of cult is a cancer for the kingdom, and if it cannot be cut off, the kingdom will certainly not last long. ”

"Everyone, do you want to watch me become the king of the kingdom?"

These words made a mockery of these ministers openly and secretly, and then the Emperor changed his words again and continued: "You Aiqing can rest assured that you will do it, I will order the Ministry of the Interior to publicize the major crimes of the Holy Sect that you have just listed, and the people will support us." ”

"This matter is done, you Aiqing is to remove a big harm for the kingdom, and I will definitely be rewarded. You will also be listed in the history books in the future, and your name will be remembered for eternity. ”

His words were half inducement, half threat. The meaning of the first sentence is that I will publicize your criticism of the Holy Religion in the temple council, and if the Holy Religion knows about it, can I let you go? It is better to eradicate the Holy Religion in order to prevent future troubles.

The second sentence is the temptation, the so-called fame, fame and fortune, if the Holy Religion is eradicated, it will have a good name in the history books in the future, this is the name. The so-called profit is nothing more than promotion to become wealthy, and promotion is nothing more than a sentence of the emperor, as for making a fortune and eradicating the Holy Religion, are you still afraid that you will not have wealth and land?

Under the emperor's carrot and stick, almost half-coaxed and half-deceived, these ministers could only pinch their noses and admit it, and obediently accepted the emperor's order to "eradicate the cult." It's just that after going back, whether to report to the Holy Sect or to disobey the Emperor Yang is another matter.
