Chapter 1003: Governing the Country with Virtue
At this time, another person who looked like a civil servant came out. This person looked very old.
"I am Zhuge Yongming, a great scholar of the former Daqian Dynasty. Lord Holy Lord, your duty is to bring peace to the world. Now that the Holy Lord has led the army to bring peace to the world, the next three dynasties will be surrounded by large and small countries. All the cities will surrender to the Great Yan Dynasty one after another, and the unification of the world is just around the corner."
"However, conquering the world by force will definitely make many people in the world dissatisfied, and many countries will not truly surrender."
"I also request General Fang to govern the country with virtue and spare the northern cities. Our Qiankun God Church will help the Great Yan Dynasty to complete the great cause of unifying the world as soon as possible."
Zhuge Yongming also has another identity, the second priest of the Qiankun Cult!
After saying that, Zhuge Yongming handed over another exquisite memorial.
After the memorial was opened, there was still a mysterious Buddha imprint on the top.
This mark attracted Fang Chen again.
It seems like there is some kind of mysterious power.
Fang Chen didn't pay much attention to it. After seeing the contents of the memorial, he was very surprised.
The content of the memorial is to use the banner of the Holy Lord to attract the hearts of the people, and to rule the country with virtue and push the Holy Lord's reputation to the top!
In this way, Fang Chen can become the supreme saint and the leader of the Qiankun Religion, preaching doctrines and controlling people's hearts!
Let the church and the court be on an equal footing!
Moreover, the church can supervise the imperial court and has a very high status!
The Qiankun Church has great influence in northern cities, and seven out of ten people believe in the Qiankun Church!
With the north as the center, it gradually penetrates and develops throughout the country, and then develops into major dynasties and empires, spreading out!
Fang Chen frowned. It seemed that what they were doing was for the good of the people. Even the church was born because of the people. It could supervise the officials of the court and let the court do things for the people.
When such a church develops, over time it will become equal to the imperial court, or even suppress the imperial court!
The human heart is very scary. Throughout the Western history on earth, there were many powerful churches that ruled the country, and the political power became the puppet of the church. It was the darkest era at that time!
In the end, it is the common people who suffer!
Just like what happened a month ago, the church controlled the people and forced Fang Chen to commit suicide. It didn't care about the life and death of the believers at all. It was terrible!
This is totally a cult!
Fang Chen looked at it, his spirit seemed to be in a trance.
The Buddha statue on the memorial seemed to be emitting a mysterious golden light, and the neat fonts on the memorial began to twist and deform, as if there was a kind of magic that attracted Fang Chen, and Fang Chen's mind began to fall into it.
However, Fang Chen didn't feel anything unusual. After reading the memorial, he placed it on the table aside.
Fang Chen said coldly: "I don't agree with governing the country by virtue, and I don't agree with using the church to contain the court. After we, the Great Yan, unify the world, I will implement reforms, govern the country according to law, and put the people first. Naturally, the world will be peaceful."
Fang Chen completely rejected the other party's proposal.
"Moreover, our Great Yan Dynasty's army will capture the northern cities. If you don't want a war, I accept your surrender, but all soldiers must surrender!"
"You must get rid of all official positions and become ordinary people. The final rulers and managers must be people from our Great Yan Dynasty!"
Fang Chen's decision to accept surrender was already a step back.
However, as soon as Fang Chen finished speaking, the expressions on the faces of the two hundred or so people were very ugly.
The atmosphere was very depressing.
Zhuge Yongming hurriedly said: "Lord Holy Lord, the way to govern a country is divided into the contention of hundreds of schools of thought, which is divided into rule by law, rule by virtue and rule by inaction. Rule by inaction will lead to chaos in the world, and those in power will never adopt it."
"The Holy Lord is the master of the people in the world. As the saying goes, human nature is good. Ruling the country with virtue can make the people of the world enjoy happiness! Everything the Qiankun Religion does is for the Holy Lord. From now on, the Holy Lord will be the master of the world and the master of the people!"
Fang Chen didn't like the ancient ways of governing the country at all.
He uses modern scientific management methods to govern the country, which is several times better than the ancient way of governing the country.
Furthermore, making Fang Chen the leader is using the name of the Holy Lord to control the people and brainwash all the people!
Very scary!
The other party's plan seems to be good for themselves and the people, but it is actually a trap!
Or a deadly trap!
The more Fang Chen thought about it, the colder his heart became.
"Listen to me, the masters of the world belong to the common people, and the common people themselves are the masters, not me or you!"
"I will implement the rule of law and govern the country, so I will naturally find a way to make the world peaceful! Any church established cannot interfere with politics or have anything to do with the court!"
"I will formulate a set of perfect laws for everyone in the world to follow, and I will even dissolve the Qiankun Church!"
As soon as these words were spoken, more than two hundred people were shocked!
Fang Chen actually wants to disband the Qiankun Divine Sect!
Zhuge Yongming immediately objected.
"If a country depends on the law to maintain, then how can the Holy Lord ensure that those in power do not exercise power in accordance with the law? Since ancient times, how many dynasties have used the rule of law to oppress the people, causing the people to live in dire straits!"
"As the saying goes, if you are good at etiquette, the people will not dare to be disrespectful; if you are good at righteousness, no people will dare to be disobedient; if you are good at trust, no people will dare to be unkind. This is the way of the king in the world, and the way of the king and his ministers!"
"If you use the law to get good punishment, the people will rebel and be aggressive, and eventually the officers and soldiers will rebel and fall into chaos!"
"Lord Holy Lord, we support you as Lord and King. Everything is for the sake of the people and you!"
Fang Chen secretly cursed in his heart, these fuckers are talking so eloquently, they just want to brainwash themselves!
Fang Chen drank coldly.
“What’s wrong with the rule of law?”
"If the king breaks the law and the common people are guilty, how do those in power wield power? I only know a country where the society is governed by the rule of law. This is the best!"
"I don't know how to be a leader, so the Qiankun Cult will be disbanded!"
At this time, Hongzhu next to her spoke, and she could no longer listen.
"Since you govern the country so well with virtue, why did your Daqian dynasty decline and perish?"
Li Qingwu also mocked: "You, the royal family of the Daqian Dynasty, are despicable and shameless. You sent many members of the royal family and powerful people to hide in the Great Yan Dynasty to establish the Ghost Pavilion, practice evil arts, kill innocent people indiscriminately, and bring disaster to Great Yan!"
"In this war, you have cultivated ten thousand ninth-grade strong men, and you have killed countless strong men. Let these ninth-grade strong men drain their blood and take away everything in their bodies. It is simply inhumane and will be outraged by both humans and gods.
!”
"You still have the nerve to suggest how to govern the country with virtue? This is simply ridiculous!"
The two hundred people's ridicule made more than two hundred people feel ashamed.
But Long Yuan and Zhuge Yongming looked calm.
Long Yuan explained: "For a long time, our north and south have been different. The south is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, while the north cooperates with the Qiankun Divine Religion."
