After taking another sip of tea, Li Chen said indifferently: "This law is implemented in the laws of the Great Qin Empire. It is only a hundred words in total, but it is like a tight spell, which makes the Buddha and Taoism never become as prosperous as the previous dynasty. The master came to let me open a way for you to walk on this?"

Li Chen said it straightforwardly, and the old monk replied simply and directly.

“That’s right.”

Li Chen smiled and said, "The attitude is very straightforward and he did not play a maneuver. This is good, but why does the master think that I can change the rules of my ancestors for you?"

"To be honest, the master said that this law, which was drafted by Taizu, was actually extremely wonderful. It was one of the manifestations of Taizu's political wisdom and stellar strategy back then. Such a law has reduced many troubles to future generations. Now the master wants to change it, how easy is it?"

The old monk said, "The masters of all generations have been working hard to promote Buddhism. As Your Highness said, it has been more than 360 years and has never succeeded. This shows how difficult it is, so I am not sure."

"The dragon among your highness is extremely wise, usually deceived, tempted and deceitful. On the one hand, it does not match my original intention, and on the other hand, it is useless to you. Therefore, I never thought of using these methods, and only hoped that your highness would have a connection with the Buddha, and also had a compassion for all suffering in the world, which could make sentient beings panic and have someone to take refuge."

Li Chen smiled and said, "Master, if I say this, if I don't agree, I will have no compassion, and will make the glorious hearts of all sentient beings in the world without any refuge and helplessness. Such a great sin, according to Buddhist teachings, will I fall into the Avici Hell?"

"Your Highness has a deep understanding of Buddhism, so why do you hate Buddhism so much? Buddhism has no secular intentions, and even the ideas it advocates are all about persuading people to be good and cause less trouble. In this way, it will be beneficial to the court in managing the country and the country."

Li Chen stroked the teacup with his fingers and said slowly: "Tell me a story to the master."

"To the west, opposite the sea, there is such a small country, which is very small in area, with a small area of ​​capital, and their population is only tens of thousands, and at most no more than one hundred thousand."

"This country has no emperor and no army."

"There are only the Pope."

"The whole country believes in only one God, and they call it God."

"Under their propaganda, they have many believers. Even if the surrounding area and population are several times more than theirs or dozens of times more than theirs, they do not dare to provoke them. Not only do they dare not provoke them, but they also have to give money every year and send people to serve them comfortably."

"It is not for anything else, but because almost all the people in those countries are their believers. As long as they do not believe in their God, they are heresy and will be tied to a shelf and burned to death."

"When the surrounding countries have changed their imperial powers. The first thing they need to do is to get the pope of that small country to recognize. If the pope does not recognize it, then his throne will be wrong. Not only will the people resist, but even civil and military officials and the army will not obey the emperor's orders."

Speaking of this, Li Chen looked up at the expressionless old monk and said lightly: "Their teachings also promote friendship among everyone. As long as they join the society, they will be brothers and sisters. If you have money, you will use it together, and if you have food, you will eat together. If you have difficulties, you will support you from all directions."
