In the past few months, there have been many Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in the capital, and there are also some nondescript Yin rituals.

The imperial court seems to have taken a laissez-faire approach to this, and as long as enough money is given, it will be built casually.

It happened that the relief in various places needed money, and the emperor did not hesitate to cut the capital and sell it.

The old emperor was already in his sixties, and his decades of life as a crown prince made him not very fond of pleasure, and he only wanted to leave a Ming Jun evaluation in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty before he died.

I have to say, this trick works very well.

In the months of this large-scale construction, the imperial court earned a huge amount of silver, and those cultivators were really rich, so much that even the emperor was shocked.

With money, the implementation of various policies is much simpler, and a large amount of grain is sent, and disasters in various parts of the world have been alleviated.

Feeling that this trick was easy to use, the emperor even asked Taishi Pang to find a way to attract more cultivators to come to the capital to engage in real estate.

Anyway, there are many wastelands near the capital, and those low mountains and rotten land that can't be cultivated are not wanted anyway, and those cultivators who build temples and Taoist temples don't pick, so they should be able to sell vigorously. After selling the land, not only can you harvest a large amount of silver, but those consumption of burning incense and worshiping the gods can give the court a lot of tax silver.

In the short term, this is definitely a positive operation.

It's just that when he went to court today, Taishi Pang did not announce with a happy face how much land he had sold and how much silver he had earned for the imperial court, but made a very solemn offer.

The emperor opened his eyes, frowned, and said, "Taishi, you actually want to re-establish the position of national teacher? How long has it been since the matter of the Thousand Lodge Demon Dao was resolved, have you forgotten?"

Master Pang wrote in this fold that because the number of cultivators in the capital was increasing, all kinds of chaos began to appear, and the imperial court needed to strengthen monitoring, and suggested that the position of the national teacher should be re-established and that the national teacher should be specially managed by the practitioners.

But this proposal was rejected by the emperor with almost no room for negotiation, and even the civil official group, which usually blindly obeyed the Taishi, did not fully support it, but chose to remain silent.

Taishi Pang's proposal was rejected, but he didn't have any expression of dissatisfaction, and changed his words to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, it is indeed inappropriate to re-establish Taishi, it is the old minister's inconsiderate consideration. Those who dare not cultivate in the capital have indeed reached the point where they need to be supervised. The old minister suggested that, just like the Taurus Guard, a new guard should be established to be responsible for the management of cultivators."

This time, no one objected to the proposal.

People are always willing to compromise, and between demolishing the house and opening the window, they often choose to open the window. Pang Taishi's trick is the same, first throw out the re-establishment of the national teacher, and then propose the establishment of a new guard after being rejected, this time the resistance is very small.

There are indeed too many cultivators, and the hundreds of civil and military officials present have been "harassed" by these cultivators, and many officials have really been cheated of a lot of incense money. Now when I hear Taishi Pang say this, I agree very much in my heart.

The only question is, who can control the practitioners?

Even those charlatans have a few tricks, how can mortals deal with them?

The old emperor still remembers very well that when Daoran broke into the palace and killed his father again and again directly in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.

None of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces and the Imperial City Guards could help.

….

Even if they are willing to set up this guard, what is the point of not being able to control the cultivators?

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the old minister has already made arrangements, the cultivators are unruly one by one, and there are magic methods, mortals really can't deal with it, but what if the cultivators are allowed to manage the cultivators?"

The old emperor asked unexpectedly, "Oh, they are willing to be driven by the imperial court?"

"Even the Thousand Demon Dao wants the authority of the national teacher, so it can be seen that the official position of our court is still useful to them. Lao Chen has also recently come into contact with some cultivators, and they are all very interested in the position of national teacher. Although it is not possible to re-establish the national teacher, the establishment of a guard and the empty titles of a few miscellaneous generals may be able to make these cultivators available to the imperial court."

Master Pang's words were agreed by many people, and the cultivators who had recently known the hundreds of officials in the imperial court more or less had the intention of asking them for officials. In this way, Master Pang's idea is correct, but how to avoid lessons from the past needs to be discussed carefully.

The court quickly discussed this new guard, and Pang Taishi was confident, pretending to be what he had just thought, and little by little he said all the details that he had been thinking about for several months.

Everyone began to praise Master Pang for his foresight, and he was indeed a pillar of the country.

Eventually, a guard called the Beidou Guard was established and practitioners were recruited for the use of the country. Beidou Wei has one main and two deputy commanders, and the subordinate official positions such as the general flag of thousands of households are the same as those of the Golden Bull Guard. It's just that Beidouwei only has jurisdiction over matters related to cultivators, and does not intersect with the powers of other departments.

Although Pang Taishi did not hold any position, everyone knew that this Beidou Wei was Pang Taishi's person, because the emperor handed over the recruitment power to Pang Taishi, from the commander to the small flag officer, all of whom were designated by Pang Taishi.

In this way, the entire Beidou Wei will be Pang Taishi's people.

When the news came out, the Taishi Mansion was once again in full swing, and the cultivators who had come to seek officials before brought more treasures to the Taishi Mansion.

Pang Taishi still received everyone happily, accepted the good things one by one, and promised several positions of hundreds of households and thousands of households on the spot, but the three most important commanders, Pang Taishi has never let go.

All understood that the position of the three commanders had other plans.

Within a few days, dozens of invitations were delivered to all parts of the capital.

In the Mahabodhi Temple, Sha Li Shu took the invitation and handed it to Guanxingyue.

"Senior brother, this Master Pang invited us to participate in ***, I'm afraid he wants us to fight for the position of those three commanders."

Guan Xingyue read the content of the invitation, and said very tactfully, that is, to invite the abbot of Mahabodhi Temple to participate in the upcoming ***, and let him talk about Buddhism.

Guan Xingyue put down the invitation and said to Sha Lishu, "If you want to go, go ahead, I will continue the retreat."

Since being fascinated by the demon for the second time, Guan Xingyue has realized that his cultivation is insufficient, and he once wanted to go to Dao Ran to express his gratitude, but also hope to learn from him and help him complete the great cause of revitalizing Buddhism.

However, Daoran closed the door and disappeared.

Guan Xingyue couldn't figure it out, but he didn't have any resentment.

….

Entering the demon twice, Guan Xingyue is always vigilant, as long as there is a little mood swing, he will think twice to ensure that he will not be controlled by the demon again.

After returning to the Mahabodhi Temple, Guan Xingyue chose to practice in retreat, and after a few days, he made great progress.

Sha Lishu didn't see it that way, in his eyes, Guan Xingyue was obviously bullied by Daoran, and now he was disheartened and hid in the temple to escape reality.

Sha Lishu wanted to ask Dao Ran for an explanation, how could they say that they were also disciples of Buddhism, and they were here to help him revitalize Buddhism, how could they treat him like this?

But after carefully inquiring about what happened that day, Sha Lishu gave up the idea of going to the door to ask the teacher for the crime, because the gap between him and Daoran was too big, and he would only bring humiliation on himself when he came to the door.

originally thought that this breath had to be swallowed, but now that the matter of Beidou Wei was in a uproar, Sha Lishu moved his mind.

If he can get the position of commander, maybe he can borrow the power of the Great Zhou court and make Daoran suffer a little.

Just when Sha Lishu had this thought, a strange voice sounded in his heart: "Not for personal grudges, for the common people, Beidou Wei supervises the world's monks, and only by being able to hold power can the Dharma be revitalized, this time is the right way." It's like keeping the world out of the world, which will only lead to the decline of the Dharma."

Sha Lishu only felt that the Lingtai was clear, and the mana around his body was running uncontrollably, and the power was skyrocketing with every time he operated.

Sha Lishu understands that he has had an epiphany!

"Yes, this is not a personal grudge, and I am also working hard to revitalize the Dharma."

Sha Lishu's face was full of red light, and the previous haze and resentment were swept away, and he felt that he had even sublimated his realm.

But he didn't realize that a short blue-skinned demon was standing behind him, it was none other than the Demon Gate Bodhisattva Tirodadatta.

Salishu, who was full of ambition, said with emotion, "This generation of Buddhist disciples is too easy to fall. No wonder the demon lord will look at Dao Ran differently, as long as he enters the demon, there will be no hope for Buddhism.

"However, this Dao Ran monk seems to have six impure roots and five poisons, but he can always be restrained at critical times, how can he be allowed to enter the demon?"

The little monk is dedicated to returning to the world.
