The imperial court's decree naturally went all the way from Luoyang to the Western Regions, and King Qin's decree was bound to spread throughout all states and counties.
Luoyang is thousands of miles away from the nearest country in the Western Regions, and the journey is full of dangers. The only good thing is that there are no Taiping Taoists in Liangzhou and Sili.
From Yumen Pass and Yangguan in Dunhuang County to the east, there are the countries in the Western Regions.
To today's people in the world, the Western Regions are to the Han Dynasty, just like the Chu State to the Zhou Dynasty. From the deepest heart, they admit that the Western Regions are considered a member of the Xia Dynasty, but they use all kinds of contempt on their lips, and even call them Western Regions if they go too far. Yi.
Even the princes and kings who came to Luoyang to pay tribute were ridiculed by the powerful people in Luoyang, which can be seen from this.
Marquis Wushuang was born in the Luo family. Because he had brothers from the Central Plains to help him, he had not experienced these things, but his influence in the Central Plains was still low.
However, among the four counties in Hexi, which are closely close to the Western Regions, their influence is relatively high.
The biggest difference between the countries in the Western Regions and the Central Plains is that Taoism and Buddhism are extremely prosperous in the Western Regions.
King Suwang is the highest belief, but it is not a religion.
Taoism and Buddhism are true religions and are very suitable for spreading. These two sects copied each other's scriptures.
Buddhism is best at absorbing local culture and then localizing it, while Taoism is the most suitable for the people of the Central Plains.
The missing world view of Taoism is directly taken from Buddhism and modified. After all, in terms of religion, Buddhism was rolled out of Asan's pile of worms. There are countless worlds at every turn. Just look at the numerals and you will know. Just talk about bragging. I'm really no match for him.
After the introduction of Buddhism, Ji Zhao continued to experience upgrading. Every time the two religions improved their worldview, Ji Zhao was upgraded once. Among the two religions, it was already a level made out of nothing. The founders of the two religions were all incarnations, because there was a dispute over who was the right one. It's a real incarnation, and the dog's brain is about to burst out.
To be honest, Luo was shocked by this bragging method.
For more than a thousand years, Luo Shi had never thought about this aspect. The promotion of King Su's divinity was all based on chance. He spent a lot of effort explaining the human body and the divine body.
But Asan has a whole set of theories to explain this aspect.
It can only be said that Ah San's brain circuit is really different, and he is really good at religion. A pragmatic person like Zhu Xia still can't compare.
In fact, when Buddhism and Taoism first spread their religion, they also wanted to complain. If they hadn't discovered that King Su's belief was deeply rooted in the Western Regions and many other places, no one would be willing to find a father for themselves.
Fortunately, both religions are polytheistic and can always be reconciled.
At first, Luo tried to stop him, but later he discovered that there seemed to be an inexplicable aura hanging over the land of the Western Regions. Living in this land would naturally lead to him being closer to religion, just like living in Zhaocheng, one would gradually be affected by it. The impact is the same.
Only Luo's son could not be affected, so he allowed it to develop.
After a hundred years of development, Taoist temples and temples have been erected on this vast land. Thousands of miles of land have been transformed into a thousand-mile Buddhist and Taoist land.
Today's Central Plains Taoism is not what many people have in mind. Whoever I love, please don't delay my cultivation of immortality.
It can be seen from Zhang Jiao that the goal of Taoism in the Central Plains is to establish an earthly state, overthrow the existing political power, and achieve the unity of politics and religion. This is true whether it is the Taoism of Taiping or the Tao of Five Pecks of Rice.
Buddhism is just a trick in front of Taoism.
Taoism in the Western Regions was naturally the same at the beginning, but it was too radical.
The goal of Buddhism is to get the leaders of the countries to believe in it, so Taoism was beaten to the point of paralysis in the early stage. Later, it changed its strategy and gave up on establishing a Tao country, and then it gained a firm foothold.
Regarding the existence of religion, Luo had a laissez-faire attitude. After all, Luo had experienced the cruel human sacrifice religion of the ancient Yin and Shang Dynasties.
Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, in Luo's view, they are all docile little sheep, especially Buddhism, which is very sensible at first glance, and first pioneered the path of touting King Su.
Why.
This is very wise.
Taoism is indeed more dangerous than Buddhism. After all, he has always wanted to establish a Taoist state, which is somewhat inconsistent with Luo's ideas. After all, if a theocratic state was to be established, Luo had established it as early as Bang Zhou.
But there is only one true god, King Su, in the world, and King Su sleeps all day long, so it is impossible to keep an eye on the world and solve problems all the time, so the existence of Dao Kingdom is very unnecessary, and it is enough to be used as spiritual comfort.
In Wushuang Kingdom, monks and Taoist priests can be seen everywhere, as well as many believers. There are obvious Han faces, obvious faces from the Western Regions, and a large number of mixed-race faces. Some people are wearing Taoist robes, but they are carrying rosary beads, which makes people quite curious. It's confusing, but this is the mainstream in the Western Regions today, that is, integration.
In the vast land, there are temples and Taoist temples, and the Taoist priests and monks in the temples and Taoist temples are very busy. After all, in addition to chanting sutras every day, they also have to farm or herd.
Although they are Taoist priests and monks, they still have to pay every penny of the taxes they should pay. If they don't farm or graze properly, then there will be a big problem if they can't pay the taxes.
This is not just the case in Wushuang, but in most countries. Only famous monks and Taoist priests can be exempted from these things. Those people are actually equivalent to the powerful and the ruling class. In this era, privileges are also normal.
The Luo family has ruled here for two hundred years.
Starting from the time of Emperor Xiaowu of the previous Han Dynasty, the entire country is still prosperous. This is an advantage of a small country. It is not as easy to decline as a huge dynasty.
The Liu family had two vassal kings here, both of whom were supposed to be feudal. However, the Western Region was too special and had relatively high bloodline requirements. The emperors of the Central Plains kept changing, just like a horse watching a flower, so it was delayed.
By the time of the Later Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu was no longer qualified to replace these two princes and kings.
However, these two Liu vassal states are not stable now, and the internal fighting is very serious.
The royal families are killing each other and constantly fighting for the throne. Marquis Wushuang doesn't know which one to help, because no innocent person deserves to die according to Luo's moral standards.
Wushuanghou Mansion.
This place is bustling with people almost every day. Distinguished guests from various countries come to communicate. Businessmen from the Wushuang Kingdom come to visit. It is also the political center of the Wushuang Kingdom. The owner here can influence the entire Western Region.
Although people rebel almost every year, the world is like this. There are always people who have lost their minds and feel that they can do it again. If everyone was smart, wise, and rational, the world would not be so unpredictable.
In the study room, the contemporary unparalleled Hou Luokong was constantly fingering an imperial edict from the Central Plains. It was the edict of King Qin from the imperial court.
His expression was very tangled. After a long time, he sighed slightly and said, "Let's go see mother."
