To be honest, even Sanbao felt that his prince's attitude was really a bit aggressive.

But after the old monk was angry at first, he seemed to have lost his temper. He was still very easy to speak at this time. He said, "Your Highness is the orthodox that everyone hopes. Buddhism only seeks a way of survival, not to participate in secular power. I hope your Highness will forgive you."

Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had no affection for religion at all, but it did not prevent him from using all the power he could use to consolidate his rule.

What's more, Zhao Xuanji has not been eradicated yet, and the vassal kings are still eyeing him. His control over the Qin Empire is far from enough to rest assured. If the power of Buddhism is used well, it is a surprise weapon.

No matter how bad it is, you cannot push these monks into the enemy's arms with your own hands.

“This is not a place to speak.”

Li Chen turned his head and said to Sanbao: "Arrang a secluded place."

The Three Treasures bowed and received the order.

For Sanbao, finding a quiet place nearby is not even a matter of things.

It was just a cup of tea, so Sanbao came to ask Li Chen to move.

Sanbao knew Li Chen indeed and found a restaurant. There was no one in the restaurant at this time. It was obviously all cleared. A private room with the best view was vacated. When Li Chen came up, he could directly look at the street view of the capital.

The old monk naturally followed.

On the balcony of the private room on the third floor of the restaurant, Li Chen and the old monk sat opposite each other, and a pot of incense and a pot of tea were placed on a tea table in the middle.

Although it was a hurry to arrange the Three Treasures, you can see the care and attentiveness of the Three Treasures everywhere.

"Master, drink tea."

Li Chen held up the teacup and invited him, and his attitude was completely different from the previous aggressiveness. At this moment, Li Chen was noble and generous and graceful, making people feel like he was bathed in spring breeze.

The old monk was not polite, bowed his head slightly to Li Chen, then picked up the teacup and took a sip.

After each of them drank tea, Li Chen directly pointed out the topic.

"The Great Qin ancestral system, monks and Taoist priests can develop freely, and are not encouraged and not blocked. Any temple and Taoist temple must be controlled by local official uniforms. Monks go out to beg for alms, Taoist priests open the altar, good men and women contribute to donations, build temples, and investment in Dharma Assembly. All of them should be supervised, reviewed and approved by the local government."

"All Buddhist and Taoist disciples who convert to Buddhism must submit their certificates to the local government for sealing files. If you need to go out to beg for alms, hold Dharma meetings, and communicate across temples, you must look at the official uniform, and then you can enter the city, temple, and temple with the certificate of certificate."

What Li Chen said is the laws enacted on religion since the founding of the Great Qin Empire, which have not changed for more than 360 years.

Its content is simple, but its effect is extremely strong.

On the surface, Buddhism and Taoism allowed widespread channels to develop believers, but they took back and restricted all religious activities, so that all final decisions were tightly held in the hands of the government.

It is this law that has prevented Buddhism and Taoism from prospering in the Qin Empire for more than 360 years.

However, compared to Buddhism, Taoism is better. After all, the Great Qin Empire emphasizes Taoism and suppresses Buddhism. Even so, Taoism does not do whatever it wants. Every generation of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Tianshi must accept the imperial enthronement, otherwise it will be illegal.

Although there have been many loopholes in the enforcement of the law over more than three hundred years and there have been inadequate implementation in many places, overall, the Qin Empire's control over religion far exceeds all previous dynasties.
