In the mythological system of Tiandaoism, Qingji is the incarnation of Taiyi God, who dominates all things in the world.

There are also five directions: east, south, west, north, and center. God assists the left.

Fuxi, Shennong, Huangdi, Shaohao, and Zhuanxu are the "Five Gods" who assisted Zuo Qingji.

The rest include the Four Yus, Five Elders, Six Divisions, Qi Yuan, Ba Ji, Jiu Yao, Ten Palaces, etc., which can be regarded as completing the mythological system of Da Wu.

In order to completely deify himself and make the Wu Dynasty a lineage for eternity, Qingji also ordered all counties and counties to build a statue of "Taiyi God", no matter how big or small.

The same goes for every city in the vassal kingdom. They must build a statue of Taiyi God.

In every government office, from the three provinces and six ministries down to the local pavilions, portraits of the Taiyi God must also be hung.

Whenever something happens, you should burn incense and pray first.

For example, the county magistrate must pray to the image of Taiyi God before hearing a case.

Every seven days, all official schools have to worship once, commonly known as "Sunday".

Every Sunday, not only students, but also farmers, businessmen, craftsmen, etc., all kinds of people have to go to the nearest official school to "worship" Taiyi God, which is to worship Qingji...

The doctrines promoted by Tiandao Sect are nothing more than the "Ten Commandments"——

You shall have no other gods before me (God);

Thou shalt not make for thyself any graven or worshiped idol;

Do not take the name of the One in vain, and celebrate the name of your God;

Keep Sunday holy;

Honor your parents;

Thou shalt not kill;

Do not commit adultery;

Thou shalt not steal;

Do not bear false witness against anyone;

Don't covet other people's wives and property.

In addition, Tiandaoism also promotes "justification by faith."

In other words, human beings can be saved by faith, and this is a necessary condition for becoming a "righteous person" before the one God.

And “Believe in the Kingdom of Heaven and Eternal Life”!

Believe in the one God and gain eternal life!

Human life is limited, but the human soul will be reborn through faith, and can be saved by God and gain eternal life, and find eternal happiness in God’s kingdom—the kingdom of heaven…

In contrast, it is "belief in hell and eternal punishment."

If people do not believe or do not want to repent, they will be eternally punished by the One God and suffer in hell!

There are countless such teachings.

The followers of Tiandao Sect are basically Wu people. As for the missionaries, the officials and scholars (scholars) of Wu are actually the preachers of Tiandao Sect.

After Qing Ji's reforms, Wu became a political and religious empire in the true sense.

…

The time has entered the forty-fifth year of Wu Shihuang, that is, 469 BC, the third month of the lunar calendar.

When the Tiandao Sect was flourishing in Wu itself, the rebellion of the Western aliens that lasted for more than three months was quickly suppressed by the Wu army.

Among them, a large number of foreigners were massacred or reduced to slavery.

In order to prevent them from revolting again, Qingji ordered the implementation of all Wu civilization and at the same time confiscated the weapons of the people. Even the craftsmen who knew how to forge weapons and farm tools were controlled by the Wu army.

Not only weapons, but also iron and bronze items were confiscated by the Wu army one by one. The foreigners who dared to hide any copper or iron secretly without reporting it were found out and their whole families were demoted as slaves.

Nowadays, the foreigners in the western vassal kingdoms are brutally oppressed by Wu.

How miserable is it?

Several families share a kitchen knife!

In this way, without weapons and craftsmen who forge weapons, it will not be so easy for foreigners who want to rebel.

At this time, Qingji was still in Yanling City, admiring his statue.

Qingji's statue of Taiyi God stands on the County School Square in Yanling City, about three feet high.

This statue of Taiyi God carves Qingji's appearance lifelike.

I saw Qingji wearing a crown, twelve crowns, a crown on his head, and a Longyuan sword on his waist. He had broad ears, a serious face, and a resolute gaze, exuding an extraordinary look...

"Your Majesty, I heard that there is a bronze statue of Your Majesty standing at the Yanling County Yamen Gate, which is even more remarkable."

Bo Pi, who was following him, flattered Qingji.

"good."

Qingji was very satisfied with this kind of thing.

Admittedly, this may be a bit extravagant and wasteful, but Qingji thinks it is necessary.

Accompanied by Bo Pu and Fan Li, Qing Ji paid a private visit incognito. He also left the boundaries of Jinling and came to Yanling City unknowingly.

What he saw and heard made Qingji very happy.

Here in Dawu, every household hangs a portrait of Qingji as the Taiyi God. They burn incense, pray and worship day and night, and become Qingji's believers...

The people's blind and fanatical worship of Qingji made Qingji not know whether he was good or bad for a while.

Qing Ji, Bo Pei, and Fan Li went to the streets again to take a look, intending to understand the sentiments of the people.

Yanling is a county in Wu County. It is an important county with a large population, developed commerce, and prosperous culture. After all, it was once the fiefdom of Qingji's great-uncle Jizi.

Thanks to Ji Zi's teachings, the Wu people in Yanling are all well-educated and sensible, do not pick up lost items on the road, the crime rate is very low, and businessmen are also honest.

Qingji is a person who knows how to repay kindness.

Over the decades, Wu people have paid a lot for Qing Ji, and every household has lost countless sons and daughters in battle.

Therefore, Qingji reciprocated the favor and provided countless welfare policies to the people of Wu County. From time to time, he also rewarded them with some favors, such as tax exemptions and tuition exemptions.

Qingji and others were tired of shopping and were going to find a teahouse to rest and take a rest.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the door of a teahouse, they saw that the boy had already locked the door bolt.

Is this the time to go overseas?

Not only this teahouse, but also nearby wine shops, inns, cloth shops, etc., all kinds of shops seem to have been imported.

Qingji was a little curious for a moment, so he stepped forward and asked: "Little brother, it's broad daylight when we should be open for business, why are we going abroad?"

Hearing this, the young man looked Qingji up and down for a while, then shook his head and said, "My lord, you really don't know?"

"Today is Sunday. The imperial court has made regulations that all Wu people must go to the nearby official school to pray on Sundays and worship Taiyi God for at least half an hour."

"The shopkeeper asked us to do some business first, and then we can come over and open the business."

"I see."

Qingji couldn't help but frown.

For the purpose of a prayer meeting, such a battle was launched?

Has it affected people's livelihood?

This made Qingji hesitate.

"Little brother, are you a believer in Tiandao Sect?"

Qingji asked.

"of course!"

The boy held his head high and said very proudly: "My lord, if you ask anyone on the street, who is not a believer of Tiandao? Everyone in Wu is a believer of Tiandao!"

"If you don't believe in Tiandaoism, you are disrespecting His Majesty, and you don't deserve to be called a Wu person!"
