Please ask me to be the emperor

Who is Xuanzang?

The eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty, commonly known as Tang Monk, also known as "Tang Sanzang", has always looked like a crying and pretty boy in the story-telling novel "Journey to the West".

But in history, he is not only one of the four major translators of Buddhist scriptures in Chinese Buddhism, but also the founder of the Consciousness-only Sect of Chinese Chinese Buddhism.

Among them, the Shaanxi Dayan Pagoda is said to be the place where Master Xuanzang personally supervised the construction of a place specializing in translating and storing scriptures after he came back from Tianzhu to collect scriptures.

Even though Han Lin is a very devout Catholic, he is actually very familiar with Buddhist allusions.

Thinking of Master Xuanzang, he thought of the four characters of establishing a sect.

When he thought of establishing a sect, he also thought of the three characters "Grand Master".

What King Shun said is true. Since the Europeans can change it, how can we, the Chinese people, not be able to change it?

Just now, Han Lin learned from Zhang Shun that the original Catholic Church had split into two major schools, the Orthodox Church and the Protestant Church. He couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.

"Your Highness King Shun, I will go and persuade Duan Gun." Han Lin quickly agreed, but hesitated a little and said, "It's just... Far West Priest."

"It doesn't matter, you can just give up on it first!" Zhang Shun smiled and thought: It's done!

Compared with Han Lin, a devout Catholic priest, he obviously prefers to be the "grand master" of a new Catholic sect.

"I accept the order and thank you!" Han Lin couldn't help but said happily when he saw Zhang Shun complied.

Seeing that things were progressing smoothly, Zhang Shun gave the order on the spot: "Han Lin said that he had merit in surrendering Jiangzhou City, and he was promoted to the magistrate of Jiangzhou. He will take office immediately."

"Duan Gunxiang has made great achievements in helping, but he does not want to be an official. As a reward, he will be rewarded with a palace of the former Ming clan, Prince Lingqiu!"

"King Shun!" Han Lin was stunned when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed. He quickly bowed three times and said, "I am determined to live up to my expectations and build a new church as soon as possible."

It turns out that Zhang Shun gave Prince Duan Gun a palace not for him to live in personally, but for his own plans.

Han Lin knew that "King Shun" wanted to build this place into the stronghold of the "New Sect", so he smiled and said: "Speaking of this, I have an immature idea. I wonder what King Shun wants?"

"tell me the story."

"I'm going to give our new sect a name in private and call it 'God Worshiping Sect'."

"Pfft." Zhang Shun almost spat out blood, "What's your name?"

"It's called the 'Sect of Worshiping God'. What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with it?" Han Lin glanced at Zhang Shun doubtfully, thinking that the name was quite "honest and elegant". He didn't know why "King Shun" was like this. reaction.

"Okay, what a good name!" Zhang Shun couldn't laugh or cry. How could he steal the role of "He Nai Ren King" in his previous life?

But if you want to worship God, just worship God. At any rate, it is better than native Christianity whose teachings are "the rules of the world for eternity."

In fact, the Catholic Church of this era did not have a deep foundation in China. If necessary, after Zhang Shun unified the world, he could ban it with an imperial edict, so there would be no such trouble.

But there are always pros and cons in everything. Banning it will naturally end everything, but no one will be cut off from communication. It is easy to be abandoned by the times because of isolation.

In fact, in Zhang Shun's previous life, during the Yongzheng period in the mid-Qing Dynasty, the Holy See prohibited Chinese people from worshiping their ancestors and worshiping Confucius.

This was historically known as the "Qing Dynasty religious ban" or the "hundred-year religious ban".

Because of this, the only non-governmental exchanges between the two sides were almost cut off, which became one of the reasons why the Qing Dynasty remained complacent.

Zhang Shun came from a later generation. Although he did not know this history, with the formal education and keen insight he received in his previous life, he was somewhat aware that many things could not be banned.

After much thought, it is better to take the initiative than to react passively. What others "feed" to you may not be what you want to eat, so why not take the initiative to send someone to "find food"?

And these "God-worshipping" believers are the "foragers" they are preparing to send to Europe.

In fact, everyone is a human being with two arms, two heads, and one head. There is not much difference between IQ and physical strength.

As the saying goes, "The ruler has its own length, and the existence has its shortcomings." However, due to the different environments of both parties, their focus on breakthroughs in certain aspects is different.

For example, "Ah San", who was ridiculed by netizens in Zhang Shun's previous life, also spread the "Yin Ming Xue", which contains a lot of logic, to the Central Plains through Buddhism in ancient times.

Therefore, the attitude of being complacent and complacent is absolutely unacceptable.

However, if in the process of communicating with others, if you can't tell us apart and lose your way, that's even worse.

Therefore, "worshiping God" is actually a firewall for Zhang Shun to anchor himself.

If the followers of the "God Worshiping Cult" lose themselves when communicating with the land of Europa, then they will be cleared out by the "God Worshiping Cult" in order to purify themselves.

Those who can withstand such a test and "return to China" will naturally become the mainstay of the "God Worship Cult" and receive important positions.

Of course, in addition to "worshiping God", Zhang Shun also has two other insurances.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun looked at Song Xiance again and said, "Mr. Song, don't you say something?"

Song Xiance was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but wonder: "What does King Shun want me to say?"

I represent Taoism (although I cannot represent it) and support you wholeheartedly. Aren't you still satisfied?

"Taoism, Taoism, takes the pursuit of the way of heaven as its lifelong goal!" Zhang Shun said with a smile.

"In the past, monks studied astronomy, geography, mathematics, and alchemy to pursue the way of heaven. They could boil water and freeze ice, and release thunder with the palm of their hands. Each has its own secrets."

"Today's Taoist priests do not seek a deep understanding, but instead practice Qi to seek immortality. They are really going astray."

Song Xiance laughed when he heard this, and couldn't help but tell the truth: "King Shun Rongzhen, those so-called magical things are actually techniques to deceive stupid men and women, and they cannot be taken seriously."

"For example, the so-called 'Thunder in the Palm', I am over fifty years old, but I have never seen anyone do it..."

"Who said it can't be used?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but interrupted, "Today I can demonstrate it to you all!"

"Huh? Your Highness, this is no joke..." Everyone was stunned when they heard this. When did King Shun learn to pretend to be a ghost?

"Wang Jinyi, come with me to get some fire." Zhang Shun chuckled, took out some powder and poured it into his palm.

"King Shun, what are you..." Song Xiance hadn't asked clearly yet.

However, Zhang Shuncai and Wang Jinyi took the source of fire and burned it into the palm of his hand. With a "pop", flames burst out and almost blinded the eyes of Song Xiance, Han Lin and others.

"Gunpowder?" Song Xiance couldn't help but was stunned and shouted out.

"That's right!" Zhang Shun nodded. Sure enough, the old Taoist priest had some skills and he could tell what it was right away.

It turned out that Zhang Shun had refined gunpowder that was "put it in the palm of your hand and burn it, and you can only use it if you don't feel the fire burning in your palm."

Song Xiance knew this trick better than Zhang Shun, but he didn't expect Zhang Shun to suddenly use it.

The old Taoist priest couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "King Shun, you also know that these are all evil ways to fool people."

"I usually just fool people by myself. How can I start a sect and teach my disciples how to fool others?"

Oh, I can’t see that an old Taoist priest like you still has a sense of justice!

Zhang Shun laughed, shook his head and said, "Sir, you are wrong. After Da Zi came to China, he destroyed our Taoist canon, causing the Taoism to fail. Sir, haven't you ever thought about the reason?"

"Why is this?"

"Most of the Taoist teachings have been lost, and the Taoist teachings have also been lost. It's up to me to save them. The so-called Taoist teachings are all like this." Zhang Shun said with a smile.

"So that future generations don't need to distinguish, and they think it's a trick, and it's scattered among the people."

"If you, sir, can collect his skills and study his principles carefully, you may not be able to make the Taoist sect prosper and be respected by hundreds of millions of people."

"But... but after all, it is a minor or evil skill, and has no connection with the great road?" Song Xiance said hesitantly for the first time.

"Sir, you are really prejudiced!" Zhang Shun shook his head and said, hating the irony.

"Heaven is the God of Haotian. His way is unconscious and unconscious, and people need to find it on their own."

"The deeper people know, the more blessings God will bring to the world."

"In the past, the sage made boats and chariots, and the people used them; the sages weaved mulberry and linen, and the people used them to make clothes; the sages smelted copper and iron, and the people used them."

"Those who are saints are all helped by the Tao."

"If Mr. Today can imitate the sages of the past, wouldn't it be an immeasurable merit?"

"This..." To be honest, the old Taoist priest was a little tempted.

In the past, his goal was just to defraud a few more pennies. Later, after following Zhang Shun's rebellion, he became the founder of the country.

Now that Zhang Shun is deceived like this, this little trick may lead to him being promoted to a saint and enjoying incense and offerings for generations to come. This attraction is even greater.

It turns out that Taoism is also divided into many sects, the most distant ones being the Yellow Turban Taoism and the Five Pecks of Rice Sect.

After that, there were ups and downs, and each faction started to sing and our side came on stage. By the Ming Dynasty, only the Zhengyi sect and the Quanzhen sect were the most prosperous.

After Zhang Shun's instigation, Song Xiance couldn't help but make great aspirations: "If this is the case, the old Taoist priest is willing to found the Tiandao Sect to explore the way of heaven and support King Shun."
