Chapter 385: Religious Reform

Except for Feng Tianshan and Su Qing, the rest of the elders such as Xiao Yungui and Wei Jinghui ostensibly looked at Hong Jintian as the leader, but in fact they had their own thoughts, Yang Qi only needed to try his best to win them over, and these two people might be able to help, at least let them not interfere with their plans.

Since Bai Liansheng joined the Heavenly King Sect, Hong Jintian himself has not been very skilled in martial arts, so it is not easy to guess the level of his cultivation. However, Yang Qi himself is holding a divine sword, he thinks that he is not afraid of Hong Jintian and others, and he wants to plan big things, not just the courage of one person.

In addition to the five-square ring, there are also priest rings and teaching rings, the former has already been installed by Yang Qi, and as long as the timing is right, it can be used by him. The latter deals with the affairs of the church, and in recent years, it has absorbed the officials of the previous dynasty and selected the talents, and the personnel are no longer as simple as in the early years, Yang Qi does not focus on this, after all, he is just a bunch of nerds who manipulate the writing, as long as he obeys in the future.

Yang Qi, as the master of the Divine Sword Mansion, has a lot of protégés in the army, if it weren't for Bai Liansheng's birth, I'm afraid that now he has taken over the affairs of the sect, and now that Bai Liansheng is dead, this is the time for him to return to military affairs.

Yang Qi didn't care about the Jiangchu War, he even vaguely hoped in his heart that without Bai Liansheng's command, after the defeat of the front-line army, there would definitely be a need for strong military leaders within the sect, who else could there be besides Yang Qi at that time? Most of the cathar generals were just reckless generals, not real army commanders.

In the following days, Yang Qi was planning for the actions of all parties, contacting the guards inside and outside Tianjing City, and began to actively move around the large and small mansions in Beijing, with the appearance of a corporal of Lixian, without the slightest avoidance and obscurity.

The elders of the Five Directions Ring actually knew about Bai Liansheng's death, but no one spread it, some of them might have bad intentions like Yang Qi, and some of them were worried about the future of the sect.

More than a month after the outbreak of the Jiangchu War, Yang Qi contacted a group of civil and military officials in Tianjing City and put forward the words "the revelation of the king of heaven and the advent of the holy son", intending to reform the religious system. They believed that in the face of the fierce rivalry between the Chu State and the Jiangnan Gan Dynasty, the Church should not have multiple political departments, and the existence of the Five Rings obviously hindered the ability of the Church to deal with the crisis in this regard.

The origin of the five rings is actually very simple, that is, Hong Jintian accidentally found five Eden holy weapons, got the revelation teachings, and planned to do something great in his heart, but he couldn't rely on his own strength, so he simply distributed the five holy weapons to his close friends and neighbors.

Although Hong Jintian himself was the source of spreading the enlightenment teachings, he himself was not the leader of the sect, and the proposal to establish the Heavenly King Sect was first put forward by Yang Qi, so it is no wonder that Yang Qi would engage in such a set of things to reform the religious system, perhaps he felt that he was the real founder of the Heavenly King Sect.

As for whether the Wufang ring has led to the politics of the sect, no one can say, when most people don't know the news of Bai Lian's illness and death, most of the eyes of the country are focused on the Jiangchu War, and Bai Liansheng is also like a pillar of the sect.

This is Yang Qi's intention, he ostensibly mobilized civil and military officials, hoping to reform the religious system, so that the power of the religious and political center can be concentrated, and the whole country will do its best to support the front-line war. The fact that Bai Liansheng single-handedly reversed the decline of the Heavenly King Sect had long been compiled into countless nursery rhymes and legends, and this kind of reform measure was naturally approved by all parties, and Hong Jintian and the others could not even oppose it on the surface.

As for Yang Qi's slogan to launch reforms, the "Arrival of the Holy Son" mentioned in it means that within the scope of the Heavenly King Sect, select a suitable person to be the center of the Sect and rule the overall situation, which is actually equivalent to the Sect Leader Emperor.

And who will be this "Holy Son"? Although it is selected from within the scope of the Sect, it is impossible to find a mediocre person to take on the responsibility out of thin air, and the Heavenly King Sect also has a series of teachings and rituals, and the so-called Holy Son is not an ethereal person, but a person who has the merits of the Holy Deeds and bears the karma of sins for all sentient beings.

Obviously, the Holy Son can only be selected from the high-level of the Sect, and according to the reform blueprint proposed by Yang Qi and others, this reform is to concentrate the power of the Sect and provide strong support for the Jiang Chu War, which means that Bai Liansheng will be excluded from the selection range, even if Bai Liansheng has died of illness.

Yang Qi's intentions are far-reaching, originally on the surface it was a united five-party ring, which was immediately separated, Xiao Yungui and Wei Jinghui also had the intention to compete for the position of the Holy Son, Feng Tianshan seemed to be low-key, but he was also secretly contacting all parties, Hong Jintian was immediately isolated, this is the effect that Yang Qi wants to achieve.

It was not enough for the civil and military officials to write a letter, Yang Qi also secretly mobilized the people of Tianjing City, and in the few days after the book, the people of Tianjing City "spontaneously" gathered outside the main altar to kneel and worship, hoping to select the Holy Son through the reform of the religious system.

More than half a month passed, the crowd in Youyan was surging, and people in Qinglu, Qinjin and other places farther away surrounded the door of the local government office, begging for the reform of the religious system, and even happened that the people did not hesitate to harm themselves to Mingzhi, and for a while, the country was about to come.

At present, in the entire Tianwang Sect, except for the Jingxiang Governor's Office, which went all out to deal with the Jiangchu War, almost all of them fell into the trend of religious reform, and in some places there were various incidents of confrontation between the government and the people, and the storming of the government office, and the local garrison soldiers ignored them, bluntly saying that they had not received orders from the top and did not listen to the dispatch of local officials.

......

"You are plotting rebellion!" Hong Jintian sceptered the ground, and the sound of the golden iron bell echoed in the temple of holy virtue.

After the main altar of the Tianwang Sect was moved to Tianjing City, it was renovated on the basis of the forbidden city of the imperial capital of the Gan Dynasty, and the original Taiyuan Hall was renamed the Shengde Palace, but the emperor's dragon chair was removed and replaced with five mahogany circle chairs. Now on the chair, the five square ring elders were sitting upright, except for Hong Jintian, who was standing upright with his pestle and cane, and looked at Yang Qi angrily.

"Do you want to push the Heavenly King Sect to ruin?" Hong Jintian gritted his teeth and said, "This is the foundation of many people's hard work, you don't understand!"

"Big brother. Yang Qi leaned back in the circle chair with a cold expression: "How long has it been since I called you like this?

"Do you still recognize me as a big brother?" Hong Jintian sneered and asked, his face was full of disdain, at the beginning of Hong Jintian's uprising, he divided the five holy weapons with everyone, and they had already worshiped as brothers with different surnames, and today, where is there still a little brotherhood?

"The matter of reforming the religious system, even if we want to do it, it is not now!" Hong Jintian said in a deep voice: "Bai Liansheng is dead, the pillars of the country have been lost, and the soldiers in front are fighting desperately, but we are deceiving me in the peaceful Tianjing City? Yang Qi, do you really don't understand or fake don't understand?"

"Great Elder!" Yang Qi mentioned in a tone: "The reform of the religious system is imminent, so don't delay it any longer!" )
