In the mythological system of Tiandaoism, Qingji is the incarnation of the One God, who rules over all things in heaven and earth.

There are also the five directions of east, south, west, north, and center.

Fuxi, Shennong, Yellow Emperor, Shaohao, and Zhuan Xuan are the "five gods" of Fuzuo Qingji.

The rest also have four royals, five elders, six divisions, seven yuan, eight poles, nine yao, ten halls, etc., which can be regarded as perfecting the mythological system of Great Wu.

In order to completely deify himself and make the Great Wu all generations of the family, Qingji also instructed all counties and counties to build a statue of "Taiyi God" in each county, regardless of size.

In the same way, the cities of the vassal kingdoms had to build a statue of the One God.

Every government office, up to the six departments of the three provinces, down to the local village pavilion, should also hang the image of the One God.

Whenever something happens, you should first burn incense and pray.

For example, the prefectural decree is to pray to the image of the One God before hearing the case.

Every seven days, all government schools have to worship once, commonly known as "Sunday".

Every Sunday, not only students, but also farmers, merchants, craftsmen, and all kinds of people go to the nearest official school to "worship" the One God, that is, to worship and celebrate the taboo......

And the doctrine preached by the Heavenly Taoism is nothing more than the "Ten Precepts"-

Thou shalt have no other gods than me;

Thou shalt not carve for yourselves, nor worship idols;

Thou shalt not take the name of the One and rejoice in the name of thy God;

Keep Sunday holy;

Honor your parents;

Thou shalt not kill;

Thou shalt not commit adultery;

Thou shalt not steal;

Do not give false testimony to frame others;

Thou shalt not covet another man's wife or possessions.

In addition, Tiandao also preaches "justification by faith".

That is, salvation is possible by faith for human beings, and it is a necessary condition for becoming "righteous" before the One God.

And "Faith in Heaven and Eternal Life"!

Believe in the One God and have eternal life!

Human life is limited, but the human soul is born again by faith and can be saved by God for eternal life and eternal blessings in the kingdom of God, Heaven......

On the other hand, there is "faith in hell and eternal punishment."

If anyone does not believe or repent, he will receive eternal punishment from the One God and will suffer in hell!

The list goes on and on.

The believers of the Heavenly Taoism are basically Wu people, and as for the missionaries, the officials and scholars (scholars) of the Great Wu are actually the preachers of the Heavenly Taoism.

After Qingji's reforms, Dawu became an empire in the true sense of the word, integrating politics and religion.

……

The time entered the forty-fifth year of Wu Shi Huang, that is, in 469 BC, the third month of the lunar calendar.

When the Heavenly Daoist Sect was flourishing in the Great Wu mainland, the rebellion of the Western aliens that lasted for more than three months was still quickly suppressed by the Wu army.

Among them, a large number of Fanbang aliens were slaughtered or reduced to slavery.

In order to prevent them from rebelling again, Qingji ordered the implementation of all Wu culture, and at the same time, he also confiscated the weapons of his people, and even the craftsmen who knew how to forge weapons and agricultural tools were controlled by the Wu army.

Not only weapons, but even iron and bronze tools were confiscated by the Wu army one by one, and the Fanbang alien race who dared to hide any copper and iron privately without reporting it, once discovered, the whole family was reduced to slavery.

Now the alien people of the western vassal kingdoms have been brutally oppressed by the Great Wu.

How bad is it?

Several families share a kitchen knife!

In this way, without weapons and craftsmen who forge weapons, it will not be so easy for the Fanbang aliens to rebel.

At this time, Qingji was still in Yanling City, admiring his statue.

The statue of the Taiyi God of Qingji stands on the county school square in Yanling City, which is about three zhang high.

This statue of Taiyi God carves Qingji's appearance vividly.

I saw Qingji wearing a crown robe, twelve crowns, a crown through the sky, a dragon sword on his waist, wide ears, a serious face, a resolute gaze, exuding an extraordinary look......

"Your Majesty, I heard that at the entrance of the Yanling County Yamen, there is still a bronze statue of Your Majesty, which is even more amazing."

Bo Yao, who was following along, flattered Xiang Qingji.

"Good."

For this kind of thing, Qingji is very satisfied.

Admittedly, this may be a bit extravagant and wasteful, but Qingji thinks it is necessary.

Accompanied by Bo Yao and Fan Li, Qingji paid a private visit to Weifu, and left the boundary of Jinling, and unconsciously came to Yanling City.

What he saw and heard made Qingji very gratified.

Here in Dawu locality, every household has hung the portrait of Qingji as the Taiyi God, burning incense and praying day and night, bowing and worshipping, and becoming a believer in Qingji......

The blind and fanatical worship of Qingji by the people made Qingji not know whether it was good or bad for a while.

Qingji, Bo Yao, and Fan Li went to the street again, took a look, and planned to observe the people's feelings.

Yanling is a county of Wu County, an important large county, with a large population, developed commerce, and a very prosperous culture, after all, it was the fief of Qingji's uncle Jizi.

Thanks to Ji Zi's indoctrination, the Wu people in Yanling are knowledgeable, the road is not forgotten, the crime rate is very low, and the merchants also emphasize faithfulness.

Qingji is a person who knows how to repay his kindness.

For decades, the Wu people have paid a lot for Qingji, and every family does not know how many sons and daughters have died in the war.

Therefore, Qingji also reciprocated the favor by giving countless welfare policies to the people of Wu County, and from time to time rewarding them with some graces, tax reductions, tuition reductions and so on.

Qingji and others, who were tired of shopping, were ready to find a teahouse to rest and rest.

Unexpectedly, when they came to the door of a teahouse, they saw that the little maid had already plugged in the deadbolt.

Is this the rhythm of playing the ocean?

Not only this teahouse, but also the nearby wine shops, inns, cloth villages, etc., all kinds of shops seem to have been opened.

Qingji was a little curious for a while, so he stepped forward and asked: "Little brother, this is broad daylight, and you should be opening the door to do business, why do you want to do business?" ”

Hearing this, the little guy looked Qingji up and down for a while, then shook his head and said, "You really don't know, noble?" ”

"Today is Sunday. The imperial court has made a rule that all Wu people must go to the nearby official school to pray on Sundays, and worship Taiyi God for at least half an hour. ”

"The shopkeeper asked us to do a little bit first, and then come over and open the door to do business."

"I see."

Qingji couldn't help frowning.

For the sake of the prayer meeting, this kind of battle was actually made?

Has it affected people's livelihood?

This made Qingji hesitate.

"Little brother, are you a believer in the Heavenly Dao Sect?"

Qingji asked.

"Of course!"

The little guy held his head high and said proudly: "Nobleman, you go to the street and ask someone casually, who is not a believer in the Heavenly Dao Sect?" All my Wu people are believers in the Heavenly Taoism! ”

"If you don't believe in Heavenly Taoism, you will be disrespectful to Your Majesty, and you don't deserve to be called Wu Ren!"
