The imperial capital of Shu, Luoyang.

The current emperor is Wang Zhen. Although he is young, he has gained experience early. He is also assisted by Jia Xu, Li Ru, Tian Feng and other capable ministers and officials, making the government of Shu smooth and harmonious.

Up and down the Shu Kingdom, the country is peaceful and the people are safe.

Nowadays, Wang Zhen is praised by all officials in the court.

On this day, after Wang Zhen retired from the court, it was his daily routine to go to the harem to greet Cai Yan and others before returning to his palace to handle government affairs.

Not long after he had handled the government affairs, Wang Yue hurried in.

Wang Yue had an anxious look on his face. After saluting Wang Zhen, he reported: "Your Majesty, a letter has been sent back from the Supreme Emperor."

"Quick, take it out."

When Wang Zhen heard that there was a letter from Wang Can, he was very happy.

He had great admiration for his father.

Taking the letter from Wang Yue's hand, Wang Zhen quickly opened it. At first, he had an expression of expectation and excitement on his face. But the more he looked back, the more solemn his expression became.

Because the situation is very bad!

Wang Zhen ordered: "Your Majesty, please immediately notify the cabinet ministers and the six ministers to discuss the matter."

"Here!"

When Wang Yue heard this, he knew something big had happened.

He did not dare to delay and immediately went to deliver the order.

After a short time, Li Ru, Tian Feng, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Xun You and others all arrived in the main hall.

Everyone was a little surprised when they were summoned together.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to gather everyone.

Cheng Yu said: "Your Majesty summoned the ministers. I wonder what happened?"

Wang Zhen handed the letter directly to Cheng Yu and said: "Gong Zhongde, pass it on in sequence."

Cheng Yu browsed quickly.

When he saw the end, his expression became solemn.

After he read it, he passed it on one after another. After everyone had finished reading, there was no joy on everyone's face, the atmosphere became stagnant and heavy, and everyone had a look of worry in their eyes.

They are all people who have gone through storms.

Before the great changes in the world, they had never looked so worried when presiding over state affairs.

Because the original situation was still controllable.

At least, it can be resisted.

But the current situation can no longer be resisted. The power of the country alone cannot solve these problems.

This is the most difficult.

Wang Zhen looked around at the crowd and said: "Masters, my father's letter said that there was a Shaolin Temple in the Tang Dynasty, and he could not resist it. It is speculated that there may be some in our country of Shu. Let us hide our family members among the people first. You

What do you think?"

Cheng Yu stroked the beard under his chin and said: "Be careful and you won't make a big mistake. I agree with the Supreme Emperor's suggestion. In the current situation, there are too many unknown factors and too many uncertainties. Especially the Supreme Emperor's martial arts are already among the best."

We are still invincible to all of them. Under such circumstances, we are afraid that we will not be able to withstand these otherworldly forces. Now, the only way is to avoid their sharp edges."

Jia Xu said: "Old minister also agrees!"

Tian Feng, Xun You and others all agreed.

In the current situation, we can only endure it first and stabilize the situation before considering other things.

Wang Zhen said: "I don't have many family members. I just need to arrange a few relatives. However, the ministers have many families. This cannot be easily accommodated."

Cheng Yu said directly: "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be relaxed. Once countless officials are involved, it will be difficult to move forward. Therefore, the old minister's suggestion is to settle the royal family members for the time being, and ignore the rest for the time being. Wait and see what happens, and then consider how to deal with it.

Of the policy."

Jia Xu said: "I agree!"

The rest of the people also agreed.

All of them are experienced in planning for the country, and they don’t want the Shu Kingdom to be shaken.

After Wang Zhen heard this, he quickly made a decision and said: "In that case, let's not publicize this matter for the time being. I will send my mother and others away immediately, and then prepare to deal with the follow-up matters."

"Can!"

Cheng Yu immediately agreed.

Immediately, Wang Zhen made arrangements.

After Wang Zhen made arrangements, he began to discuss the stability of Shu with everyone.

Time passes in a hurry.

An hour passed quietly.

Even after an hour, not much was finalized. Wang Zhen, Cheng Yu and others were still discussing the details of the matter.

"Report!"

At this time, Wang Yue entered the hall again.

The expression on his face was extremely solemn, and he said: "Your Majesty, a Taoist named Chunyangzi came outside the palace, claiming to be from the Quanzhen Sect, and wanted to see your Majesty."

When Wang Zhen heard this, his expression was solemn.

The expressions on the faces of Cheng Yu and others also became solemn.

It’s really here!

People from the Taoist sect actually showed up.

Cheng Yu said: "Your Majesty, please summon Chunyangzi to see you."

Wang Zhen ordered: "Call Chunyangzi in."

When Wang Yue received the order, he immediately went to inform him.

Not long after, a Taoist wearing a Tai Chi Bagua Taoist robe, a purple gold crown on his head, and a whisk in his hand strode over. He was in his early forties, with black temples, three long strands of beard under his chin, and an immortal

Wind bone.

He is Junyangzi.

It was the Quanzhen sect that came to rule the secular court.

"The poor Taoist Chunyangzi has met the King of Shu."

Chunyangzi shook the fly whisk in his hand and saluted Wang Zhen.

His voice was soft, but it was like the mighty sound of Tiangang, echoing in the hall.

Wang Zhen has also been practicing martial arts since he was a child. When he heard the other party's voice being so rich and knew that the other party was very skilled in martial arts, he cheered up and said, "I wonder if Chunyangzi has come to the palace, what's the important matter?"

Chunyangzi smiled and said, "I have three things to do when I come down to see the King of Shu."

Wang Zhen said: "Please tell me!"

Chunyangzi had a smile on his face and said: "First thing, please ask the King of Shu to confer on me the Quanzhen Sect as the state religion in the Kingdom of Shu, and confer on me the leader of the Quanzhen Sect as the Heavenly Protector of the Dharma, and then on me.

Chunyangzi is a real person and sits in Chang'an."

Wang Zhen narrowed his eyes.

In Wang Can's letters, these have also been mentioned long ago.

Wang Can mentioned that sects that blend into the secular world will definitely blend into secular government affairs and even become state religions.

So Wang Zhen was not surprised.

Wang Zhen said: "What about the second one?"

Chunyangzi continued: "Second, we, the Quanzhen Sect, want to build Taoist temples in every county in the Shu Kingdom. We ask the Shu Kingdom to order and urge local officials to build Taoist temples for Taoist people to live in."

Wang Zhen was furious after hearing this.

This Quanzhen sect is really going too far and wants the country to build Taoist temples.

It's just too much of a lie.

Wang Zhen didn't show anything on his face, and continued: "What about the third one?"

Chunyangzi continued: "Third, 10% of the taxes from Shu must be handed over to the Quanzhen Sect, and we, the Quanzhen Sect, will make arrangements."

Wang Zhen was even more angry.

A 10% tax is a huge amount of money.

It is also extremely important to Shu.

Especially today's Shu Kingdom has just stabilized. Even with Liangzhou and Yizhou as the rear area, it still needs to recuperate and vigorously develop.
