The sun and the moon changed, spring passed and autumn came. As time went by, Lin Chongyang's policy finally encountered resistance, resistance from the other three religious forces.
Unlike Confucianism, the upper echelons of Buddhism and Taoism basically do not take care of things, and most of their power is concentrated in the middle and lower levels.
The Taoist sect is better. After all, it is as "in decline" as the Confucian sect. The proportion of its forces is really small, and there are only one or two well-developed forces.
Now that the Dao Emperor is still alive, under the subtle influence of the Daowu King Valley, the overall atmosphere of the Dao Sect is pretty good.
However, it is still a cliché saying that Confucianism and Taoism are tied together, and the masters and power are not half of those of Buddhism.
In addition, from a macro perspective, the whole world is in trouble, so naturally more people pray to God and worship Buddha. Therefore, compared to Confucianism and Taoism, Buddhism is more prosperous in this world.
It is worth mentioning that if it were not for the Taoist Emperor, a highly respected person, to control the situation, the situation of the Taoist sect would not be much better than that of the Buddhist sect, and the two families might still be able to cooperate.
The power of the three religions in this difficult situation is so huge. Since there are highly virtuous and respected people, there are also selfish people and undercover agents from other forces.
Strength and power will gradually corrupt a person. People who come out of the common people put their own personality above the common people. In their eyes, the common people are only ignorant, so that they can be better controlled by them.
Protecting the common people in normal times is just something you can do within your ability. Don't even think about dedicating yourself to save the world and save the people.
In their view, they achieved their current status only through their own efforts. Without this ability, the common people would not look down upon them.
Because of their different starting points, the three religions, which had been at peace for several years, finally started fighting among themselves again after digesting the results of the Battle of Blood River.
This is the spiral history of the three religions. As long as you are free, there will always be people looking for trouble, or making trouble for others.
The first person to have opinions was Buddhism. Some middle and lower-level forces couldn't sit still and began to put pressure on Confucian forces at the same level. Buddhism emphasizes suffering in this life, pursuing the next life, and following heaven's health. A gentleman's continuous self-improvement is completely unacceptable. To deal with it, Confucianism's actions were simply destroying their jobs.
Although the Taoist sect is not as active as the Buddhist sect, there are also forces involved in it. The emperor of Daowu does not know it, and they say they are seizing the day.
From a certain level, the functions of the middle and lower-level forces in Buddhism and Taoism are similar, so they can cooperate and compete for jobs.
For example, he can do both by preaching sermons and praying, deceiving believers and amassing money; writing scriptures and controlling mortal kingdoms; and even supporting forces against other dynasties, he can do both.
Regardless of whether it is a good thing or not, there is a major premise: the people must be ignorant enough, otherwise no one will believe them.
In the past, when cities and towns were built, everyone could see the benefits. But now, it's better. You Confucians suddenly start to develop people's wisdom and serve the common people. That's not to ruin everyone's jobs and just be aloof, right?
The Confucian sect has a different view. This set of policies is indeed expanding the influence of the entire Confucian sect system, and the Confucian sect is indeed doing things for the common people.
Regardless of whether a person's starting point is fame and fortune, or really for the common people, he has done things for the common people, and the income is much higher than in the past struggles for power and profit, and it will not hurt the overall harmony. Then the internal fighting began, from public opinion and public opinion to convincing people with reason and morality.
Since the completion of the restructuring of the Confucian sect, the strength of the grassroots has increased sharply. The monks in your temple may not be able to defeat the Confucian students in the school.
At the grassroots level, the number of monks is naturally not as high as that of Confucian scholars, because the richer the family, the more they want their children to study.
The first round of confrontation ended with Buddhism and Taoism at a disadvantage, and what followed was the second round of confrontation. The middle-level forces on both sides began to lose ground, and some people became anxious.
Because of Xianzong Wuming's intervention, the Jingyou War was directly interrupted, which brought a long period of peace to the difficult situation. The time chosen by the Confucian Sect was too good.
After all, if we were in a peaceful and prosperous age, who would be free to pray to gods and worship Buddha? The most they would do is burn incense sticks. If things succeed, it is the result of personal efforts. If not... I will tear down the temple for you. Yes.
All in all, after the middle level began to fall apart, the entire Confucian sect's combat power was directly integrated into one, and even the old forces did not raise any objections.
As the debate over ideas goes to extremes, no one can convince anyone. Instigated by thoughtful people, casualties occur.
Seeing that an internal war was about to break out, the top leaders of the three religions chose the end without hesitation.
The internal competition among the three religions is the business of the three religions. They are all for the sake of the common people in the world. It is naturally the best to decide on a more suitable policy. But if you outsiders dare to interfere and provoke, you are seeking death.
After a meeting, the Fa Sects scattered among the three religions were restructured and reorganized. They were collectively called the Three Religions Fa Sects and were entrusted with the important task of supervising the grassroots forces of the three religions.
To put it simply, it is to protect the face of the three religions. After all, this incident has uncovered many people who are living in corpse positions, which has disgraced the reputation of the three religions.
There is no record of what happened next in the files, and those who experienced it first-hand kept silent. All we know is that overnight, the forces of the three religions underwent tremendous changes, and it was as if everything before had never happened.
Because it happened at the end of the Yuheng Era, there was no follow-up to this incident. It was called the Yuheng Incident in the files, and it was regarded as a very colorful event in the history of the Three Religions.
From the proposal of the policy to the end of the policy, it only lasted a few years. Although it had to be interrupted due to special reasons, at least the generations of people who experienced it personally were happy.
After the meeting, Lin Chongyang finished the matter, and it was not too troublesome. It was just a matter of dealing with a group of people in power.
After that, they began to shrink their power and influence. Except for necessary matters within their jurisdiction, the lineage of Confucian saints and Mingde secluded themselves from the world, along with Xuehai Wuya, who was also the leader of the Confucian sect.
After this incident, Lin Chongyang also had a relatively specific understanding of the current situation of the three religions. With the current situation of the three religions, boiling frogs in warm water would not work. He had to change his strategy.
In the outer universe, the Milky Way is vast. As far as the eye can see, the stars are brilliant and vast. There are auroras, meteors that disappear in an instant, and the sun and the moon that rise and fall in cycles.
Time flies, and the years slip by, and a mysterious place appears in the vast universe. It is invisible and has no mass, occupying an unknown amount of space. It can be like a black hole, constantly swallowing particles and rays in the universe, just like a black hole. In desperate situation.
Buzz!
Strange and mysterious rhythms are constantly coming from the meteorite belt in the center of the Jedi, echoing in this vacuum environment.
And in the center of the meteorite belt, I was shocked to see a strange humanoid creature sitting quietly. Its body was completely made of red gold crystals, and its long hair seemed to be connected into a piece of golden-red flames, all indicating that it was an inhuman existence and the energy in the universe. It is absorbed by it continuously.
