"Then what are you doing with the old man?" Zhuge Wolong asked, "What do you want the old man to do?"

"Poor Dao wants you and me to assist Your Majesty and revitalize the dynasty!" Zhu Houlie said righteously. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"What? You want to be an official, and you want the old man to go out of the mountain together?!" Zhuge Wolong said in surprise.

"Isn't it okay?" Zhu Houlie said lightly, "And the position of a national teacher has the responsibility of assisting the emperor." ”

Can a Taoist priest be an official and influence the government?

Of course.

The way of Huang Lao, which Taoism advocates, is a kind of statecraft. Before the advent of Quanzhen Taoists, there were no restrictions on the birth of Taoist people, even if they were married and had children. Even if Quanzhen Taoism is popular and has become the mainstream of Taoism in the world, there are still other groups of Taoists such as Heavenly Master Zhengyi who do not follow the confluence of the three religions of Quanzhen Sect and learn the monastic system of Shamen.

Whether it was Wei Zheng in the early Tang Dynasty, Lin Lingsu, the ancestor of Shenxiao in the Song Dynasty, or the famous Liu Bowen, they were all Taoist priests, almost to the point of being a supreme minister.

So even if Zhu Houlie is a Taoist monk, he has no problem now becoming an official of the Great Zhou, especially now that the center of the Great Zhou is empty, and all the civil and military officials are on the street, which has created a lot of power space, which just allows Zhu Houlie to show his strength.

But Zhu Houlie didn't have the intention of serving Da Zhou Chao wholeheartedly, so it was better to directly establish a new super to be happy. He now wants to emulate the sages and control the court invisibly, but all the government affairs of the court are handled by the emperor and officials, while he can enjoy the country's luck with peace of mind, and quickly improve his cultivation realm with the help of the country's fortune, and at the same time, he can also withdraw at any time without being affected by miscellaneous matters.

However, just like Zhuge Wolong said before, now the world is restless, if he doesn't help Da Zhou revitalize the world, then he can't be a national teacher, but will be stinking for 10,000 years.

So at this time, Zhu Houlie changed his hope that Zhuge Wolong, a celebrity, would preside over the overall situation of the imperial court. Zhuge Wolong's reputation in this Great Zhou does not need to be said, not only in the opposition, but even the ministers in the official face have a lot of super fans who say that he is a super fan, and his ability does not need to be explained. Although it may not be possible to establish a powerful prosperous world, if he is given enough rights, he can still make this world stable again, so that Zhu Houlie can spread the Divine Sky Dao.

If it is impossible to let this great sage in the opposition ascend to the sky and preside over the overall situation of the center in normal times, it is different now. All the civil and military officials were emptied, and the emperor of the Great Zhou also hoped that someone would help him clean up the mess and stabilize the country, so when Zhu Houlie made this suggestion, the Zhou emperor agreed after thinking about it for a long time.

Although there is a hint of Zhu Houlie's guidance, it is undeniable that the bad impact of Pudu Cihang after it was made public is too great, and Emperor Zhou urgently needs a virtuous and respected sage to stabilize the situation.

Therefore, Zhu Houlie and Emperor Zhou jointly selected Zhuge Wolong to preside over the overall situation of the government, and this old guy's Confucian sense of mission will not let him refuse this matter.

Although Zhu Houlie wanted to accept Zhuge as his subordinate when he saw him, he also understood that the time was not yet ripe. If he can't get the true heart of this old guy, then even if he is forced to substitute him into the Xuanyuan world, he will take the opportunity to escape, and if Zhu Houlie is found that he can take humans to travel to another world, then Zhu Houlie estimates that he may be studied by a large number of people.

And even if Zhuge Wolong was subdued, Zhu Houlie would not be able to find a place in the Xuanyuan World that could stably place him in a short period of time. So at this time, let Zhuge Wolong stabilize the situation in the world of Chinese women, and at the same time, you can also observe the true talent and ability of this old boy.

If this Great Zhou Dynasty stabilizes and shows a trend of revival, then Zhu Houlie will be able to use the reputation of Emperor Zhou to learn the methods of Emperor Taizong Wen of the Great Qian, and in the name of compiling the Taoist Collection, he will copy all the Taoist classics and techniques in this world, and extract its essence from its dross.

After all, there are legends of gods and Buddhas in this world, although they are close to the end of the Dharma era, the gods and Buddhas have become ethereal, and immortality has become nothing, but the various magical powers they left behind are still there, and the method of transforming the Buddha from the things left behind by Pudu Cihang is a kind of proof. Some supernatural powers can't be used, but they can be very useful.

As for the question of whether Zhuge Wolong will break away after he has power, not to mention that he can put him to death at any time now, even if he can't. But Emperor Chai Shi has been controlled by his elixir, although he is not a puppet, but it is almost there. As long as there is the emperor's card, plus some preventive measures, Zhuge Wolong can't turn over his palm!

Leaving the inn, Zhu Houlie walked to the place where he temporarily lived. When he returned to the Taoist temple, he did not cultivate, but came to a hidden stone room.

"How do you feel, is there any problem?" Zhu Houlie asked the peerless beauty who meditated in the stone room.

"Xiao Qian's current situation is very good, thank you for the exercises given to the servant. Nie Xiaoqian opened her eyes and said with a holy look of gratitude.

"It seems that there is not much of a problem with this Pudu Cihang exercise. Zhu Houlie muttered in his heart.

Ghosts have the method of cultivating ghosts, and the humane exercises are not suitable for them, and the two thunder books that Zhu Houlie learned have the art of raising ghosts, but the methods of raising ghosts and cultivating ghosts belong to two kinds of exercises. The former is only a superficial enhancement of the soul strength of ghosts, which is easy to make ghosts lose their minds and unable to explore the avenue, while the law of ghost cultivation is an eternal method that can give ghosts a chance to cultivate into ghosts and immortals.

I have to say that Pudu Cihang's method does have a miraculous effect on demons and monsters, which can not only avoid Buddha Daodeng's restraint on demons and ghosts, but can even become immortals to a certain extent, so that demons can be deified into Buddhas.

Just like what Zhu Houlie sensed now, although Nie Xiaoqian didn't want to get closer to the Buddha like Pudu Cihang at this time, she had the appearance of Guanyin Bodhisattva's holiness.

"Since the exercises are effective, take these two relics, I hope they will be useful to you. Zhu Houlie said again.

Two golden stones that exuded the light of a peaceful Buddha fell next to Nie Xiaoqian.

"Thank you, host. Nie Xiaoqian said happily.

For her in the past, this Buddha treasure was highly poisonous, but now the relics are a great tonic.

"Thank you, you are already my person, and I naturally won't treat you badly. Zhu Houlie said abruptly.

Xiao Qianqiao's face turned red, and she was embarrassed by Zhu Houlie's somewhat strange words.

"I hope that Xiaoqian's progress can meet the standard, which can be a perfect fit for the future god-making moves. Zhu Houlie thought in his heart.

It is normal for a Taoist master to create a Taoist deity in order to achieve a certain purpose. In order to prosper and rise, the Shangqing faction created the Taishang Laojun who was the supreme god of the Yuan Shi Tianzun to suppress the Heavenly Master, and Lin Lingsu of the Shenxiao faction directly made up the Antarctic Immortal Emperor, one of the four emperors, in order to get the full support of Huizong, the Daojun Emperor, and said that Zhao Ji was the reincarnation of the Immortal Emperor.

However, Zhu Houlie didn't want to create an all-knowing and all-powerful true god, it was too ethereal and unreal. He is now just emulating Daqian's Chenghuang God system, shaping Nie Xiaoqian into a ghost god, so as to make this Qiannu world his own backup base!
