He is the archbishop of the Mandarin Palace, and his status in the state religion is extremely high, according to the laws of the Taoist code, even if a big person of his level violates the religious law and wants to be punished, His Majesty the Pope should convene a general meeting in the main hall of light, read the indictment in public, and then be convicted by the Liuyun Palace.
His Majesty the Pope expelled the pastoral poems from the palace and did just that.
The current Pope Chen Changsheng has not returned to Kyoto for three years, even if he returns to Kyoto in order to discuss the guilt of the Baishi Dao people, there are people in the state religion who will stand on the side of the Shiraishi Dao people, at least they will ask for the exemption of the death penalty, not to mention that Shang Xingzhou is in Kyoto, how can he watch the Shiraishi Dao people die.
Chen Changsheng didn't make any comments on Baishi Daoren's words, just looked at him quietly and asked, "Why?"
It has been three years since he left Kyoto, and the palace is under very great pressure, and even if the six halls such as the Kusagetsu Hall and the Moss House are closed, they can't stop those pressures from sneaking in with the wind. After the confluence of the north and the south, the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty became more and more powerful, and more importantly, Shang Xingzhou was originally the orthodox successor of the state religion and a real saint. After the Pope and Archbishop Merissa returned to the sea of stars, the entire state church could no longer find a person with higher seniority and more seniority than him, and even Pope Chen Changsheng was his student.
Under such circumstances, how could some people in the state religion not have other thoughts?
In his original thoughts, the most likely person to worship the master in front of him should be Si Yuan Daoren or the King of Linghai, because they had old grudges between them, but he didn't expect it to be Baishi Daoren, you must know that Baishi Daoren was one of the witnesses of that edict at the beginning, and he has always been silent and low-key, and he can't see any possibility of apostasy.
"Why? Because I have to think about the future of the state religion, for the interests of the human race. Baishi Daoist stared at Chen Changsheng's eyes and said: "The state religion is not the religion of one person, but the gate of hundreds of millions of believers, and it should never be diverted by the will of His Majesty the Pope, unless you are a true saint, it is a pity that although your talent is high, you may even become the youngest true saint in history, but you and I both know that Daozun will not give you this kind of opportunity, and you also know that you can't have such an opportunity again, so after three years, you can't continue to be silent, so you have to stand up and start stirring up the wind and rain." ”
Chen Changsheng was silent for a while, and said, "I thought that there were many people within the state religion who had been waiting for me to stand up again. ”
"Those people are idiots. The Baishi Daoist did not hide his disdain, and glanced at the King of the Ling Sea. Obviously, the former new sect of the state religion, led by the king of Linghai and Si Yuan Daoren, has always held a relatively radical attitude, hoping that Chen Changsheng can reign in the world as the pope as soon as possible.
Shiraishi continued: "Why did His Majesty choose you as his successor back then? And now, when you stand up and start to rely on the authority of the Pope, with the so-called strategy, to try to win this war with the court by these means, then you are less and less like his old man, but more and more like your master. And if you want to be like your master, how can you possibly beat him?"
Speaking of this, he looked at the King of the Sea and Eucalyptus Lin and shouted, "Have you ever thought about this question? Why did the state religion fall into a state of no return because of his rebellious thoughts that came from nowhere? In that case, why don't we simply welcome the Dao as His Majesty the Pope!"
There was silence outside the Dao Hall, and the green trees in the Divine Gate swayed gently in the wind, shaking off the last little white flower that had been urged to bloom last night.
Chen Changsheng's gaze fell on the looming priest figures outside the woods in the distance, and after a moment of silence, he said, "You may not know me very well. ”
Baishi Daoist didn't expect to hear such an answer, he was stunned for a moment, and then became indifferent and tough again, and said: "It doesn't matter, you can remove me from the position of archbishop now, and even abolish my inheritance like dealing with pastoral poetry, but the day Dao respects the day he returns to the palace, I will wait for you there." ”
Eucalyptus was silent, and the King of the Sea said, "I have worked with you for decades, and I have never realized that you are such a stupid person. ”
Baishi Daoren glanced at him with an indifferent expression, and said, "What kind of crime do you want to punish me? murdering His Majesty the Pope, just like in the Songshan Military Mansion?"
The King of the Sea said, "Sin is not committed by others, but by oneself." ”
Baishi Daoren looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Don't forget, this is Wenshui." ”
Wenshui is the territory of the Tang family.
No matter how powerful the state religion is, if you want to kill the people of Baishi Dao on the spot, it is impossible to hide it from the eyes of the Tang family. This also means that if Chen Changsheng wants to maintain the dignity of the teachings, he can only take down the Baishi Daoist now, and even cut off his inheritance of exercises, but it is inconvenient to execute him on the spot.
At this time, footsteps sounded in the woods, and Bishop Wenshui came to the front of the Taoist hall, holding a letter in his hand.
The bishop lowered his head, didn't even look at the bloodied Shirashi Daoist, and did not show any unusual expression, as calm and modest as usual.
"Your Majesty, the letter you were waiting for has arrived. ”
Chen Changsheng took the letter and opened it, took out the letter and read it.
The King of Linghai and Eucalyptus Lin looked over, Guan Feibai and Folded Sleeves also looked over, and even the Baishi Dao people who were undecided at this time also looked over.
They all knew that someone had been communicating with Chen Changsheng all the time, and the itinerary from the Songshan Military Mansion to Wenshui was all drawn up by the person who wrote the letter.
Everyone wondered who the person who wrote the letter was.
Only Nanke was not interested in this, and still stood in front of Baishi Daoist according to Chen Changsheng's instructions, staring into his eyes.
After reading the letter, Chen Changsheng didn't know what he was thinking, he was silent for a while, and then handed the letter to the King of Linghai.
Shiraishi Daoist sneered and said, "Pretend to be mysterious...... Did the man foresee what he said in the letter?"
The King of the Sea looked away from the letter and landed on his face, his gaze a little strange.
The Baishi Daoist suddenly felt a slight chill in his body.
The King of the Sea said, "You guessed it, the man said that we must kill you in order to establish our authority. ”
The people of Baishi Dao changed color when they heard this.
He didn't know who the person who wrote the letter was, but he knew that in recent times, many affairs of the state religion have come from that person's handwriting.
The most important thing is that through these observations, he is very sure that Chen Changsheng has a lot of trust in that person, and it can be said that he has to follow his word.
At that moment, a priest appeared outside the woods.
Bishop Wenshui went to inquire, and came back after a while, and whispered back to Chen Changsheng: "The second master of the Tang family has come to visit Your Majesty. ”
