Chapter 486 The Religion That Makes Trouble
The next day, above the court.
"You dear ladies have worked hard. Recently, what's the matter?"
Ying Zheng smiled and waved with the civil and military officials, and said.
"After the beginning of spring, the business of Daqin has recovered rapidly, and the emergence of a variety of new products has made the domestic and foreign trade grow rapidly, which has exceeded the expected level."
"The preparations for the newly established counties are also very smooth. Hundreds of officials with good official reputation and political achievements have been selected from various states and counties in succession, and they are preparing to conduct the final assessment in Xianyang City at the end of the month."
"However, there are still some problems, and His Majesty's holy judgment is still needed!"
Xiao He first reported a bunch of good news, and then suddenly changed his voice.
"Tell me, what is it?"
Ying Zheng's face became slightly serious.
Xiao He's ability in government affairs has long been recognized by the ruling and opposition parties.
It is definitely not a trivial matter that can make him, the acting minister, treat him so seriously.
"Returning to Your Majesty, it is the newly established Anxi, Kangju and other counties. Many of the original Seleucid people who have joined the Daqin nationality reflect that they have been suppressed by Roman paganism in the past, and demand that these pagan buildings be demolished and punished. For those who work for tigers, this matter has a great relationship, and Meng also asks His Majesty to judge."
After Xiao He's words fell, the faces of all the officials also became ugly.
To be honest, at the beginning, all the officials in the court and the central government did not think much of the various religions.
After all, Taoism is the mainstay in Daqin, and the prevailing Taoism is the theory of Huang Lao. For the imperial court, there is nothing too taboo.
The rest, such as Yinyang School, etc., can be regarded as branches of Taoism in a strict sense, but the five virtues they advocate are beneficial to Daqin, but they are just tool people.
It wasn't until Ying Yu introduced the situation of the Peacock Dynasty outside the territory and explained in detail the disadvantages of the power of theocracy over military power that the court officials paid a little more attention to religion, and took advantage of the opportunity to sweep away bad alchemists to clean up a group of scum.
However, as Duke Huangshi surrendered to the imperial court and Taoism resumed the practice of cultivating immortals behind closed doors and not caring about world affairs, the vigilance of the officials became weaker and weaker, and they soon forgot about it.
But they didn't expect that although the mainland of Daqin was very stable, the conflicts caused by beliefs in these newly included areas were beyond their imagination.
"What does the prince think about this matter?"
Ying Zheng habitually looked at Ying Yu.
"The theology of foreign lands is indeed different from that of my Great Qin. The dirty fighting between religions is very fierce."
"The wars that broke out among the countries in the Western Regions, apart from the conflict of interests, many of them were caused by the church in order to compete for believers."
"Before Rome was powerful, and its main army had fought as far as a hundred miles away from the Seleucid capital of Antioch, and indeed forced many Seleucids to give up their faith, and caused many murders for this. "
"However, after my Great Qin wiped out the Roman Legion, the situation has improved a lot."
"Therefore, according to my son, these proposals are just a high-sounding excuse for the Seleucid local religious forces to use the hands of our Great Qin court to suppress dissidents and compete for power and believers."
"My son's opinion is that no matter what religion you are, you must obey the laws of the Great Qin. Whether you need to be punished or not, everything depends on the laws of Qin. Any behavior that violates the laws of Qin must be punished accordingly!"
"I, Daqin, don't need such a group of ulterior motives!"
Ying Yu said in a deep voice.
The reason why he can tolerate the existence of Taoism is because the teachings of Taoism itself are biased towards the rule of inaction, and Huang Shigong is also very cooperative with Daqin's reforms, actively investing in Daqin's medical construction and scientific and technological research and development.
Under these conditions, the existence of Taoism did not have the slightest influence or threat on the rule of Daqin.
However, Ying Yu would not let go of those heretics who did not contribute much to Daqin but tried to steal Daqin's power.
These sects have been killing and killing all year round, and everyone has a lot of blood debts on their hands. Simply put, they don't have a single good thing.
As a time traveler, Ying Yu is naturally aware of the suppression of technology by these pagan religions.
If he was born outside the Great Qin and suppressed the development of other lands, Ying Yu would naturally be happy to hear about it.
But after Daqin took control, there were still redundant thoughts, which cannot be forgiven.
Ying Yu didn't mind letting these gods understand what they should do and what they couldn't do.
It is also time for them to understand the truth that Da Qin is not as benevolent as he seems.
And now is indeed the best time to integrate beliefs.
Outside of the Great Qin Dynasty, there are countless religions, not to mention major factions, even within the same theology, there are countless branches, and the degree of internal evidence even exceeds that of external ones.
As for the most famous major sects in later generations, except for the bald donkey that had sprouted in the Maurya Dynasty, the other two, the cross will take more than 200 years to be born. As for the white turban, it will take nearly a thousand years.
Now that Daqin has already occupied half of the land of the Maurya Dynasty, with Han Xin and Zhang Liang sitting in front, it is easy to win the Maurya Dynasty.
The reason why he didn't take any action was because Ying Yu did it on purpose.
Due to repeated defeats, the prestige of the Peacock King was damaged, and the tribes began to fight continuously for power and profit.
In order to win the final victory, the tribal leaders sold coolies to Daqin in exchange for arms. In just a few years, the population of the Maurya Dynasty had dropped by half.
The bald donkeys were also under the influence of Daqin, and they were killed by the Brahmins. According to the latest news from Han Xin, the bald donkeys are about to be exterminated.
The reason why the huge Peacock Dynasty fell to such a point was because Daqin's fists were big enough and hard enough.
"What the prince said is true, but what should I do?"
Ying Zheng asked with great interest.
As the emperor of Great Qin, Ying Zheng didn't like any theology, and all he cared about was whether it was valuable to Great Qin.
Now that these heretics dare to play against the power of the Qin Dynasty, and want to continue their tricks of fooling the people, Ying Zheng will naturally not let them go.
"The method is also very simple. First of all, any sect must be canonized by the Great Qin Court before it can preach in the territory of the Great Qin Dynasty. The teachings taught must also be revised by the Great Qin Court."
"Anyone without the permission of the imperial court will be regarded as heresy and dealt with as an illegal organization."
"And no matter which religion you belong to, you need to strictly abide by the laws of Daqin, and no one has legal immunity!"
Ying Yu smiled faintly.
Daqin ruled the country according to the law. Although it was criticized by many people as brutal, it was actually the greatest equality.
Especially after many overly harsh regulations applicable in wartime have been revised, it is the greatest benevolent government.
Those who are still whining are nothing more than dissatisfaction with the deprivation of privileges.
