It has to be said that the religious issue is indeed an issue that affects the development of the dream of Great China. Although the Republic of China uses Taoism as the state religion, the Taoist sect has only been established for a short time. Although its influence is wide, it is not far-reaching. As for the surrounding countries, most of them believe in Buddhism. , Hinduism and Islam, these religions, like Taoism, are very expansionist, which makes Wan Lei always wary and wants to destroy them all.
However, Wan Lei also knows that pure violence cannot eliminate those religions. If you want Taoism to dominate, you must find a way to make Taoism's teachings more true, good, and beautiful, so that it can have more appeal and attract more believers. In addition, , Wan Lei will also do his best to disparage other religions.
Of course, as the president of a country, Wan Lei will not use such low-level methods to spread rumors to smear. After all, these religions themselves have many problems, there are too many places to attack, and they are inherently dark, so there is no need discredit.
No, at the opening party of Peking University in the spring semester of the ninth year of the Chinese calendar, after Wan Lei refuted the petition from the envoys of Champa and Myanmar to preserve their own culture and religious beliefs, Wan Lei came to the podium that was exclusive to him. This time He does not talk about technological innovation, but focuses on religious beliefs.
"Today is the first day of school. We have just finished the annual vacation. I believe many people have not recovered from the carnival, so today we will not talk about study, but just do our daily routine and talk about trivial matters around us." Wan Lei As soon as this statement came out, no one in the audience was surprised, because they had already seen President Wan Da's lecture style. The more relaxed and casual the tone, the more serious the content of the lecture.
"I believe that in our daily lives, we will always encounter a kind of people. They walk around the streets and shout at the top of their lungs when they see people: If you take the secret Dali pill passed down from our ancestors, you will be strong and sleep well. It's so fragrant, all the men are Sailu Bu, and all the women are better than Mulan, it sounds ridiculous, but in fact..." As soon as Wan Lei finished speaking, a burst of laughter suddenly came from below.
"Wan is the president and lives in the Huayuan Presidential Palace. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be such salesmen coming to disturb him. It's a good idea to keep his ears clean. However, the trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, and the high walls of the Presidential Palace are also Block the sales, and what this salesman is selling is not Dali Pill, but another even more false thing!"
"I remember that before Wan entered Huayuan, there was someone who claimed to be an eminent monk with boundless Dharma. He was willing to chant sutras and pray for my Wan family. I thought he was a bastard and didn't take advantage of it. Anyway, it's free. Don't give it up. , but after that eminent monk recited a sutra, he began to teach Buddhism and cause and effect to me and my family, and even wanted me to come forward to persuade the parliament to make Buddhism the state religion. From then on, I no longer believe that there is free religion in the world. lunch!”
"It has only been a year since the establishment of Buddhism. Another national preceptor from Usizang, in the name of friendly envoys, lobbied me to establish Tibetan Buddhism as a bishop. He even threatened in secret that if I did not establish this If religion becomes the state religion, then the northwest border will not be peaceful. I was angry at that time. We are the great Republic of China. It is your turn to dictate what religion to make the state religion. You, a foreign country in the Western Regions, want to fight. If you want to fight, we will accompany you to the end. Who is afraid? Who!! However, the national advisor was still angry and went back in despair. Wu Si Zang actually sent troops to invade the border several times, but they were all repelled by our border guards, and in the end no big trouble was caused! "
Wan Lei paused and then asked: "The so-called eminent monks and the so-called national teachers, they use both soft and hard tactics to make our country change Buddhism as the national religion. Do you know why?"
"I want to fight for power and interfere in politics." A senior student from the School of Administration stood up and answered.
"Yes, it is for the purpose of fighting for power, and even wants to unify politics and religion, disrupt our constitutional government, and destroy the foundation of our country. In addition, he also wants to disrupt our family's beliefs and destroy the foundation of our family." Wan Lei stared at the surroundings. , "What is the foundation of our clan? It is to respect the heaven and the ancestors, rather than to believe in strange powers and chaotic gods!"
"Confucius said: All things originate from heaven, and humans originate from ancestors. Heaven has the power to give birth to all things, and ancestors have the virtue of breeding future generations. Therefore, we must respect the ancestors of heaven. What does it mean to respect the ancestors of heaven? From my understanding, heaven should actually It is called the Way of Heaven, which is the law of movement and change in the world. Respecting Heaven should mean respecting the law of the movement of the world. Ancestor can be understood as ancestors or sages. The legacy of our ancestors and our sages, and taking the glory of our clan as our own responsibility, is the ancestors of the Dharma. !”
"As for those Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, they are not our ancestors at all. No matter how great they are, they have nothing to do with us. We can admire their great achievements and even learn from their successful experiences, but we will not kneel down to worship them, let alone We will build statues and temples for them all over the world, because our own ancestors and sages are worthy of our pride. As descendants, we should build monuments for their statues so that their achievements can last forever!"
As soon as Wan Lei finished speaking, warm applause broke out from below. Whether it was students or professors present, they almost unanimously agreed. It was just that those who followed the audience were a little embarrassed because President Wan was speaking in front of so many people. They slapped Buddhism in the face, broke the Buddha's platform, and still responded to everything.
The applause lasted for a full minute before Wan Lei raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, "Everyone, Taoism is the same religion. Its main task is to persuade people to practice Taoism and accumulate virtue. It pursues the harmony of nature, national peace, social stability, and family harmony. A unified world is the most consistent with our country’s national conditions and people’s sentiments!”
"For so many years, Taoism has not developed well. First, the famous scholars of the old religion advocated tranquility and inaction, so the imported Buddhism took advantage of it. Second, the old religion was used by some restless people who just wanted to borrow Taoism. They came to fight for power and gain in the name of others, and never thought about educating the people, so Taoism has been stigmatized to a certain extent!"
"The Chongdao sect is a new religion. After reform, it no longer adheres to the bad habits of the old religion. On the one hand, it actively studies science to explore the way of heaven. On the other hand, it actively engages in the world, educates people with virtues, and encourages people to do good deeds and accumulate virtue. This is beneficial to the people and the country. We should strongly support it, and the parliament’s establishment of it as the state religion is also an affirmation of its merits!”
"In the past few years since Taoism was established as the state religion, social morality has been promoted, public security in various places has been greatly improved compared to before, illegal and criminal activities have decreased, and very few people go to court to file lawsuits every year. This is a gratifying good thing , a lot of credit for this should be attributed to all Taoist officials!"
"However, some magicians are not willing to fail. These people spread various rumors to attack Taoism in our country, and even organized terrorist actions in an attempt to kill Taoist staff. What's more, they even wanted to overthrow the regime of the Republic of China. These people were After we suffered severe attacks, a small number of remnants fled to the Nanyang area to continue engaging in illegal activities, and deceived the countries in Nanyang to become enemies of the Republic of China. It is true that they committed all kinds of evil.
"Our government will resolutely crack down on such people. At the same time, I have also sent letters of intent to Southeast Asian countries through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I hope that countries will not listen to deception and not elevate religious issues to diplomatic issues." Wan Lei said this, He looked at the accompanying envoys with his eyes.
Those guys were so frightened that their faces turned pale, because they finally saw that President Wan Da was not only eloquent, but also unique in his ability to turn things upside down. They couldn't help but slap themselves in the face, and they were so good at writing petitions and talking about religion. Faith, you are really shooting yourself in the foot.
It's okay now. If you offend the president, don't think about it in the future. President Wan will crush them to death. It's easier than squeezing a bug to death. In the end, it will ruin their reputation and make them completely infamy for thousands of years. When I think of this On the first floor, those guys were sweating coldly, wishing that this speech would end earlier so that they could quickly clarify: This is not a diplomatic incident, but a misunderstanding.
"As for the religion of Buddhism, I don't want to evaluate its quality. I just want to say that it is not suitable for our country. I will talk about the issue of Buddhism first because there are things that annoy me more." However, Wan Lei did not. He meant to stop talking, but fortunately he changed the subject and stopped talking about Buddhism.
"Two years ago, a group of divine envoys who claimed to be from Tianfang Kingdom came to Peking with a so-called "Bible". The Ministry of Foreign Affairs clamored to see the president. Later, they came to sit in outside Huayuan and threatened to enter the country. It is really unreasonable to go on a hunger strike to death without being able to go to Huayuan. If everyone is like them, then Huayuan will be crowded out. From now on, the president will no longer have to care about the national economy and people's livelihood, and he will have to meet foreigners all day long." Wan Lei smiled bitterly. Said, a burst of condemnation suddenly came from below.
"Out of the spirit of a great nation, I finally took some time to meet with these so-called messengers of God. As soon as these people entered the garden, they boasted, saying that Allah is the Lord of the universe and the only God who should be worshiped by all people. There is no one worthy of worship but Him!”
"When I heard such arrogant remarks, I became angry and asked people to blast these magicians out. The next day, I ordered the Navy's Fifth Fleet patrolling the Indian Ocean to send troops to the Red Sea. Go to Mecca, one of the holy places of this religion, to ask for an explanation!"
"The reason why I do this is not to act impulsively, but to safeguard our national dignity and bottom line. It is okay to promote religion, but it cannot belittle our faith. We have respected heaven and ancestors since ancient times, but these magicians say that our heaven and ancestors It’s not worthy of our worship. This is not derogatory. If you don’t give an explanation, then use your fists to explain!”
When Wan Lei said this, he looked at the accompanying envoys again. Those guys were so frightened that their whole bodies were shaking, and their intestines were about to turn green: It's okay to talk about religious issues. This is not to give people a handle and let others know. Does the Republic of China have an excuse to send troops?
"Tianfang Kingdom is quite sensible. As soon as our navy arrived, their king formally bowed to our country and promised not to make any more insulting remarks about the Republic of China. What annoys me the most are those bastards from Europe. Those bastards from Europe Since last year, people have been migrating to our country by land, numbering in the tens of thousands!"
"Among those people are Roma people who are wandering around but not engaged in production, Jews who are cheating in the name of doing business, and even magicians who are selling fake holy water in the name of missionary work. These people are either robbers or thieves, or They are just scammers who are rampant in the Western Region and have even spread to Mongolia and Shaanxi Provinces, becoming a major public security risk!"
"For this matter, I also summoned the Catholic envoys from Rome and the Orthodox envoys from Constantinople. I hope they can take good care of their believers and stop letting these robbers, thieves and fraudsters invade our country. What is hateful is that , those envoys not only did not apologize, but they also brazenly said that we are all sinners, and we must believe in God to be saved!"
"Fuck." Wan Lei couldn't help but cursed and said angrily: "You are the fucking sinner. Our Chinese nation can stand upright and strive for a happy and healthy life with our own hard work and wisdom. We look up to you." Be worthy of God, be humble enough to be humble to others, live an upright life, and you still need your bullshit God to redeem you!”
The dignified President of a country, President Wan, who has always been known as the wise, humble, courteous and virtuous Corporal, actually cursed. After a brief moment of surprise, the students below roared: "Those who dare to violate the dignity and bottom line of our nation by sending troops to Europa, will Even if he is far away, he will be killed!"
"Yes, the dignity of our clan cannot be trampled upon. Send troops to Europa to teach these clowns a lesson!"
"Yes, send troops to Europa to resolutely safeguard the dignity of our clan!"
The crowd below was agitated, and the few accompanying them were scared to death, because they knew that as long as President Wan removed the words "Europe" and changed them to "Champa State" or "Myanmar State", then this group of angry young people would probably Go ahead and tear them apart on the spot.
Wan Lei and other angry youths had almost vented their anger before he raised his hand to signal them to be quiet, "As for military operations, they are classified and cannot be discussed now, but please rest assured that as the president, I will earnestly fulfill my duties to protect the national beliefs and dignity. and the obligation to dream, anyone who dares to offend my dream of Dahua will be punished accordingly!"
"Mr. Wan, will we use troops on Europa?" A student stood up and asked.
"Europa is too far away from us. There will be no large-scale military operations in a short period of time. After all, the environment around us is not stable yet, and there are still some people who are ready to take action. As the saying goes, we must first settle the internal affairs in order to fight against foreign aggression. We will focus on this in the future. The region is still surrounding our country!”
"If there is no large-scale military action, then small-scale..." The student still gave up and wanted to break the casserole and ask the question.
"The great cause of revitalizing the nation and letting the dream of Dahua dominate the world cannot be accomplished by one or two generations. It requires the joint efforts of countless generations. Wan still has two years of term, and many things can only be left to his successors. Zeng Zi said: A scholar cannot be without great perseverance. The responsibilities are heavy and the road is long. Benevolence takes one's responsibilities as one's own. It is not too important. It is not too important to die. I hope that you will keep in mind the dream of Great China in your hearts and work tirelessly for the rejuvenation of the nation. History will record it. Stay with you!"
