Chapter 116: You cannot ascend without the permission of the court!
Royal study room.

Three figures quickly walked in, all with respectful attitudes, and saluted Xu Beichen together.

"I'll wait to see your Majesty!"

These three people are none other than Chen Wenjin, the principal of Luming Academy, Fashan, the Zen master of Lingshan Temple of Buddhism, and Taoist priest Dongting of the Taoist ancestral temple.

The contemporary "talkers" of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have now gathered in the Great Xia Palace.

Xu Beichen's gaze swept over Zen Master Fashan and Taoist Priest Dongting one by one.

One is ranked ninth in the world, and the other is ranked fifth in the world.

Looking closely, he is indeed majestic and has an immortal demeanor!
but.

Xu Beichen did not rush to say anything to them, but looked at Chen Wenjin.

"Mr. Chen, has the Ministry of Revenue agreed on the regulations for the Three Religious Offices?"

Today, Chen Wenjin is already the Minister of Finance of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The debt owed by several Confucian land immortals must be repaid, regardless of whether the current Confucian disciples are willing or not!

Chen Wenjin immediately stepped forward and reported respectfully.

“Reporting to Your Majesty, regarding the affairs of the Three Religious Offices, the Ministry of Revenue has already roughly determined the rules.

"But there are still some things that need to be discussed with Buddhism and Taoism..."

The Three Religions Yamen is in charge of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

This has never happened since ancient times!
"Is there anything else?" Xu Beichen frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure on his face.

"Tell me everything today in front of me!"

Until now, he has never paid any attention to Taoist Priest Dongting and Zen Master Fashan.

This is the debt that Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism owe him.

He doesn't need to give any good face at all.

Chen Wenjin glanced at the two people behind him, then slowly spoke again.

"Both the Buddhist and Taoist sects are still unclear about how the court will conduct a hearing for all immortals who enter the land, even though they intend to do so.

"In addition, the court also has doubts about the planning of temples and Taoist temples."

According to your majesty's original intention.

Confucian students, after passing the examination, could serve as officials in the court.

However, since both Buddhism and Taoism are people who have left the world, they can be exempted from this rule.

However, the land gods of Buddhism and Taoism must go to the court to listen to the announcement!
Also.

From now on, all temples and Taoist temples must be planned by the court.

Without the imperial document, no Taoist temple or Buddhist temple can be opened at will!
One of these two directly restricts the land gods of Buddhism and Taoism.

The other is like cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron, as if directly limiting the sources of disciples for Buddhism and Taoism.

Of course, the Sanjiao Yamen has more than just these regulations.

For example, all people born in the world must be recorded in a book, the three classics must be reviewed by the court, and those who participate in Jianghu affairs must first report to the court...

These rules and regulations undoubtedly imposed great restrictions on the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism!
Even though the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism all owed the Great Xia Dynasty a great favor, this restriction was still too heavy!

Xu Beichen always looked dignified.

"It's very simple. Going to the court to listen to the announcement means that the immortals of the Buddhist and Taoist lands will wait for my orders from now on."

"I can arrange a position for them in the court..."

Before they could finish their words, the expressions of Taoist Priest Dongting and Zen Master Fashan suddenly changed.

From now on, let the land gods of their two families serve as officials in the court? !
This is simply outrageous!

Among the immortals on earth, who would be willing to serve as an official in the court?
Not only did he give up a life of freedom, but he became entangled with the fate of the dynasty.

This is equivalent to directly cutting off the path to ascension for both families!
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible."

Taoist Priest Dongting tried to dissuade him helplessly, "All the immortals on earth don't want to be contaminated by the fate of the human world. Besides, even if I am a poor Taoist, I can't make all the immortals on earth take this path in the future."

Zen Master Fashan also lowered his head and chanted the Buddha's name silently.

If the path to ascension is cut off, then both Buddhism and Taoism will never recover, or even perish! "By interrupting my words, you two have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Xu Beichen narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone full of unquestionableness.

There was no room for the two to refute at all.

On the side, Chen Wenjin also sighed.

Although Confucianism has always advocated involvement in the world, it is deeply involved with the government.

But once a Confucian disciple enters the immortal realm on earth, he must gradually move away from the court.

And now, although Your Majesty has not mentioned how to arrange the Confucian land immortals.

But he also knew that most of the Confucian immortals would also come to the court to listen to the announcement like this...

"As for the imperial court's planning of temples and Taoist temples, it can be considered as a help to your two families!"

Xu Beichen then continued to speak.

"From now on, you two families can choose any famous mountains, rivers, and blessed places within the territory of Daxia!
"However, once you have established temples and Taoist temples, you will be able to benefit the people and do good to them!"

There are so many top warriors in these two sects.

Usually after coming down the mountain, I will always be able to benefit the local people.

This is a win-win solution!
of course.

Xu Beichen knew very well that what the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism cared about most was the move of the land immortals to come to the court to listen to the proclamation.

Taoist Priest Dongting and Zen Master Fashan looked at each other.

They didn't say much about this.

In the past, the two families had already occupied various famous mountains, rivers, and blessed places.

At the moment, it is just to let them benefit one side.

But they still couldn't accept the arrangements made by the immortals on land!
It directly cuts off their hopes of practicing Buddhism and seeking the truth!
Until then.

Xu Beichen finally looked at Taoist Priest Dongting and Zen Master Fashan and asked calmly, "Do you have any questions?"

The two were silent for a while before Master Fashan finally spoke.

"Your Majesty, for our Buddhists, the immortals on earth are people who have enlightened their minds and seen their true natures. Even if they were to serve as officials in the court, I'm afraid they would not be able to handle important tasks...

"Your Majesty, why do you insist on this?"

They could understand Xu Beichen's intention.

He probably wants to recruit all the future immortals on earth from both Buddhism and Taoism for his own use.

However, due to the limitations of their luck, there are many things that the immortals on earth cannot do in the human world.

And this,
The leader of the Beiliang Iron Cavalry, who killed eight land immortals along the way, should know this better!

But Xu Beichen smiled.

"I did say that I would arrange positions for them in the court.

"But it does not mean that they can serve as officials in the court!"

Ok?
Hear the words.

Taoist Priest Dongting and Zen Master Fashan were both slightly startled and a little confused.

Even Chen Wenjin's eyes when looking at Xu Beichen became complicated.

Your Majesty has not explained this before!
Xu Beichen smiled indifferently.

"In fact, it's not just you three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism...

“From now on, all the immortals on land within the territory of Daxia who wish to ascend to heaven must first come to the court to listen to the announcement!
"From now on, no one can ascend without the permission of the Great Xia court!"

Without the permission of the imperial court, one cannot ascend?!

Upon hearing these words, everyone in the imperial study felt as if thunder was ringing in their hearts!

Taoist Priest Dongting and others looked at Xu Beichen with increasingly complicated expressions.

What on earth is this Great Xia Shenwu Emperor going to do? !
