"Then what's going on with this King of Light?"
Zhao Yan continued to ask.
After all, I can accept the emergence of a religion under my command, but I cannot accept that these believers believe in some crooked ways.
Although it already looks a bit like a cult.
"The King of Light is the belief of the divine religion, which means the omniscient and omnipotent creator. It is the King of Light who created fire and brought light to the world."
"I once thought about changing the appearance of the King of Light to a prince, but Assassin thought that the too concrete appearance was not conducive to preaching, so he used the portrait they provided."
This is quite insightful...
Zhao Yan nodded in agreement.
Since he is a god, he must be somewhat different from ordinary people.
For example, the "screws" on Buddha's head...
Or those green-faced and fanged Vajras in Tantric Buddhism.
Only Taoism emphasizes that mortals can achieve enlightenment and become immortals, so their appearance is similar to that of mortals.
This King of Light didn't sound like a Taoist god at first glance. It was normal for him to look weird. Zhao Yan didn't want to look like a monster.
"Do you have a portrait of this King of Light?"
"There is indeed some...Want to take a look, Your Majesty?"
"Why not?"
"...Don't look at it, it's just a bird."
“……”
Zhao Yan twitched the corner of his mouth and gave up the idea of reading it again.
He is indeed a weird god.
"Although Assassin is in the name of repaying his favor, we must also guard against the possibility of using the divine religion to enhance their strength."
Zhao Yan said in a low voice.
This was said very politely.
To put it bluntly, they were the ones who created this cult, and they are very likely to jump out to pick peaches at the end.
Zhao Yan didn't want to become a victim.
But since the King of Light has been turned into a bird by them...
The possibility of picking peaches is really slim.
Then Assassin can't turn into a bird.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, although the Red Sect helps us preach, almost all actions are completed by the backbone of Xiaoyulou."
"We are not believers in the religion, we only believe in the prince!"
Shuangsheng said firmly.
In her heart, no one can shake Zhao Yan's status.
"Of course I feel relieved about you."
Zhao Yan nodded with relief.
Then the thought just now came to mind.
Now that the backbones of Xiaoyulou in Dali have learned how to preach...
Then why not just go for the big ticket one?
"How many people do you have who are proficient in the art of preaching now?"
"Well?"
Shuangjiang raised a thick brow, and the human skin mask also showed a puzzled expression.
But before Zhao Yan could answer, she reported the numbers neatly.
"There are about 200 people, mainly distributed in various Cainiaofang stores, and some are also in Shuiyunjian. The main reason is that these places come into contact with more people and are suitable for preaching."
"Yeah, a little bit...but is your teaching method easy to learn?"
"It's pretty simple. The main thing is to distribute rice, noodles and other food to attract people to gather in a place, and then preach doctrines and promise benefits. It's not difficult. The only trouble is the lack of people who can speak well."
"This... Jian's head looks so similar."
Zhao Yan shook his head speechlessly.
This is a familiar technique. Isn’t Assassin really a salesperson from later generations who traveled through time?
"But these are only applicable to poor people. What about the three major families? How do you preach?"
"It's actually quite easy for children from rich families. They just need to promote joining a religious cult as a trend among upper-class people."
"...This also exploits the weakness of human nature."
"Your Majesty is right. The reason why the Red Clothes Sect became so powerful in the Ming Dynasty was because of its outstanding missionaries."
Shuang Jiang said seriously, obviously she was also a little afraid of the ability of the Red Sect.
Unlike Xiaoyulou which takes the elite route, the Red Clothes Sect is inclusive of both good and bad, so it can quickly gain so many followers.
The advantage of this is that it can quickly gather strength, but the disadvantages are also obvious.
The poor quality of the congregation is one of the biggest.
After all, there are only a handful of congregants who are smart and know how to preach. Once the number of believers reaches a certain number, they will be responsible for both preaching and management, and the number of available talents will be stretched thin.
But this kind of difficulty is not difficult at all when it comes to Xiaoyulou.
After all, Zhao Yan has countless useful talents.
Not to mention that there are so many skilled guys in Rookie Workshop, Shuiyunjian and Qingyi Pavilion can also recruit a lot of useful people.
In addition, the top talents in Xiaoyu Tower provide overall management.
It can be said that if Zhao Yan wants to preach, it should not be too easy for him to write a simple letter.
In his opinion, the color revolution routine used by the beautiful country in later generations to disrupt other countries is actually similar to the Red Sect.
Set up various institutions in the other country to divide people's minds, thereby disrupting internal conflicts and ultimately achieving non-violent power struggles.
Today's Kyushu country is obviously very suitable for such activities.
Although the war has stopped, there have been no major changes in people's lives, so there is a certain popular base.
Troubled times are most suitable for the development of religion. This is an eternal law.
Although the imperial power is still strong, Jiuzhou also has strong enough Jianghu forces.
As long as we support the Jianghu forces behind the scenes and mobilize the people to believe in religion...
You can do it!
This is much easier to use than the ranking list in Qixia Town! The effect will only become more obvious.
The Red Sect does not have a deep enough wealth foundation to become bigger and stronger, but Xiaoyulou can!
With the huge business network behind Prince Qi's Mansion supplying materials and money, no matter what country you want to build, it won't work!
Zhao Yan thought about it for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.
Rather than blatantly assassinating the founding emperors involved in the Immortal Society, it is better to evolve peacefully and dig out the foundation of their national destiny!
Otherwise, even if they assassinate those who carry the destiny of the country, it will only force Emperor Zun to take action against Qixia Town in advance, which is too dangerous.
"Shuang'er! I'm going back to write a new book on preaching... Let's practice our skills with Dali first, and we must carry forward the teaching of God!"
"In addition, the doctrine must also be changed to a certain extent. It cannot completely follow the settings of the Red Sect."
Zhao Yan tapped his fingers habitually.
"What does the prince mean...?"
Shuangjiang was a little confused and didn't understand why Zhao Yan suddenly became so interested in religion.
After all, in her opinion, the Red Sect is just a bunch of rabble...
His subordinates are all miserable people of the Ming Dynasty. If it were not for the secret support of Prince Qi's Mansion, it would not be able to grow to its current scale.
Even now, they still rely heavily on Cainiao Fang to transport supplies for them.
The Ming Kingdom couldn't do it if they wanted to destroy the Red Sect, but Prince Qi could do it with a snap of his fingers.
"What I mean is that we must imitate the Red Sect and let the King of Light blossom and bear fruit everywhere in Kyushu!"
"One day, the divine light will illuminate the entire Kyushu!"
Zhao Yan punched his palm heavily and said cruelly.
"No, just be a bird and change the King of Light's bird head to mine!"
“……”
"A little blurry, not too similar!"
“……”
"Forget it, I'll go back and paint by myself. You can show me the portrait first."
“……”
Shuangjiang looked at Zhao Yan in astonishment as if he had been injected with chicken blood...
What is the prince doing? ?
……
……
……
Explain the city.
Prime Minister's Mansion.
Yang Hongchun led several tribesmen back to the mansion, followed by Yan Liang and Cun Quanquan.
Several people came to the main reception hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Yang Hongchun sat at the top, and the others lined up on both sides.
"Prime Minister, why did you refuse the position of agent and instead let the boy named Duan take the position? If he has second thoughts, wouldn't it just add to the trouble?"
As soon as Yan Liang sat down, he complained in a dissatisfied tone.
But Yang Hongchun didn't care at all about his tone. Instead, he smiled leisurely.
"It's just an agent's position. What's the difference between being in the hands of that kid and being in the hands of this old man?"
"Besides, this kid only has Yan'er and Xi Wu in his heart. He won't just agree to whatever I say."
The conversation between the two people did not shy away from others, and from the words in their mouths, it seemed that they did not pay attention to the son-in-law of the Yang family named Duan Fei at all.
"The prime minister is right. He just wronged Miss Yan'er and married such a stupid boy."
Yan Liang sighed while stroking his beard.
His words also resonated with several Yang clan members, who all sighed.
"Master Yan is right. With Yan'er's beautiful country and fragrant beauty, there are not many heroes in the world who can match it, but this kid has eaten the swan meat by a toad."
"No! It's such a pity."
"I don't know what's good about that boy, but Yan'er likes him so much."
"If Miss Yan'er hadn't threatened him with death, the clan leader would not have had no choice but to include this boy in the Yang family's wall."
The Yan'er that several people are talking about is Yang Hongchun's youngest daughter, Yang Siyan.
This girl has been extremely beautiful since she was a child, with a kind and lively personality. When she grew up, she became one of the most beautiful girls in Dali, attracting the pursuit of countless wealthy young men.
But what is helpless is that Yang Siyan, who was born in the prime minister's house since childhood, somehow fell in love with Duan Fei of the Duan family.
Although Duan Fei is of the Duan family, he is from a poor branch.
Duan Siping had countless children, but now that the position of emperor is controlled by Duan Zhengyan's family, naturally no one pays attention to this inconspicuous branch family.
Apart from the monthly living salary given by Zongzheng Temple, Duan Fei's family has no more income.
Such money would never be enough for Duan Fei, who was devoted to practicing martial arts. He had spent all his money just on food and drink, and it still couldn't satisfy him.
For such a foodie, the most beautiful golden flower in the prime minister's house is deeply in love with him and would not marry him.
In the end, Yang Hongchun had no choice but to accept Duan Fei as his son-in-law, but it was of course impossible to say that he had no resentment towards this cheap son-in-law.
Fortunately, Duan Fei was simple-minded and quite obedient. Over time, the Prime Minister's Mansion gradually accepted him.
"Okay, let's stop talking. Since the special envoy wants to see Duan Fei, let him pack up and go see him tomorrow."
"What I am more concerned about is how far our three major families can go with this Lord Wang."
"At first it was just to gain a foothold in Chancheng, but then they sent supplies to the Red Sect. Now looking at their attitude, it is clear that they want to overthrow the Duan family and establish themselves as king!"
If Zhao Yan were here, he would definitely sigh that Yang Hongchun is indeed very discerning.
After a brief contact, he actually had such an accurate guess.
"The Prime Minister is saying...that the changes in Chancheng in the past two days were caused by Mr. Wang?"
"Two thousand monks died in Tianlong Temple... six senior elders died. This is not a small matter, it is very painful!"
"Hehe, it's not just that simple. It's said that there were masters from the land of gods and goddesses fighting against us that night."
"Hiss... seriously? That's really a big event."
"But they want to overthrow Dali, so why do they need to touch Tianlong Temple? With the land gods taking action, wouldn't it be easier to kill Duan Zhengyan first?"
Everyone was talking about it, and it was obvious that this kind of thing was still very exciting to discuss.
Yang Hongchun naturally knew more than them. He coughed twice impatiently and attracted everyone's attention.
"Okay, there's no need to guess, I'll tell you the truth."
“……”
The court suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at Yang Hongchun eagerly, waiting for explanation.
"Last night, there were indeed land gods taking action in Tianlong Temple, and there was more than one. According to reports from my men, there were at least five."
"Five!"
"There are actually five of them!"
"Although there are many experts from Kyushu, the number of land gods is only a few dozen, right? Five of them came at once!"
"The six most powerful sword monks in Tianlong Temple are only as powerful as the ordinary King Kong. Why do so many masters from the land of gods take action?"
"Be quiet, be quiet, and listen to the Prime Minister."
Yan Liang frowned and scolded.
Although he was also very shocked, he still had more meaning than these people.
Yang Hongchun greeted him with satisfaction and then continued.
"That night, two masters stopped the monks at the foot of the White Tower, while two fought against the six great swordsman monks and an unknown master at the top of the tower."
"In the end, the swordsman was killed in the west, and the master was cut into two pieces with one sword."
"Obviously, the trump card that Duan relies on most is not the six great swordsman monks, but the master of the Land of Gods."
"But the master just died last night, and today a special envoy appears and wants to cause trouble. How can you think there isn't something fishy in this?"
After a brief analysis, everyone nodded.
"What the prime minister said is true."
"To be able to summon the Western Immortal to take action...the power behind Master Wang is not simple."
"Indeed, there are few such forces in Kyushu."
"More than that, one can be called a master in the Celestial Realm. Which of the land gods is not the overlord of one party!"
"It stands to reason that such a master should have special skills. Does the Prime Minister know who the other party is?"
Yan Liang raised more constructive questions in a timely manner.
Yang Hongchun clasped his hands together and nodded slowly.
"Master Yan's question is very good."
"The person who took out the sword that night used a very conspicuous sword."
"This knife was extremely famous in the world more than ten years ago."
"It's called, Full Moon Scimitar!"
Everyone suddenly realized what he said.
"Full Moon Scimitar! Ding Peng!"
"It's him!"
"Isn't it said that he has lived in seclusion in Qixia Town for a long time?"
"Since it was Ding Peng who took action...could it be possible that the force behind Mr. Wang is..."
"Qixia Town???"
