Chapter 1022: Let the immortals return to the immortals, and the emperor's to the gods
"Although there are many problems in our world, such as the monsters, ghosts and evil spirits, bandits and water bandits, powerful landlords, foreign invasions, etc. that Xiaodao mentioned before, they actually boil down to two aspects...
The first category is naturally the troubles in the mortal world, such as mountain bandits, powerful landlords, exorbitant taxes, foreign invasions, etc., while the second category is the destruction of the mortal world by the spiritual world through force, such as demons, spirits, ghosts and evil spirits.
, there are also cults like Buddhism that do deceptive things under the guise of advising people to do good, etc.”
An energetic Kong Qing stood in front of the Queen Mother of the West of Kunlun and talked eloquently.
"If you want to solve the former type of troubles, you need to unify China and establish an efficient and powerful government that can use state machinery to eliminate gangsters, crack down on powerful people, and inhibit mergers. At the same time, this government must be clean enough and will not
Actively block the opportunity for people at the bottom to make a class jump...that is, the opportunity to climb up from the bottom of this world...
The second type, that is, the troubles in the spiritual world are more difficult to deal with. Xiaodao's current plan is to first separate the yin and yang, so that the reborn earth immortals and great demons can leave the mortal world and ascend to the fairy world, while those ghost spirits wandering in the human world
He also left the mortal world, lived in the netherworld, and truly handed over the world to mortals."
"hehe!"
After hearing Kong Qing's words, Queen Mother Xi chuckled.
"Gongsun, you take it for granted. I have been watching the changes in the Chinese dynasty since you established the first human dynasty, but for thousands of years, I have never seen any dynasty that can do what you said.
For one thing, they are just repeating their previous mistakes!"
"Golden Mother, what you said is absolutely true!"
After Queen Mother Xi finished speaking, Kong Qing nodded in agreement.
"Human beings may be smart and wise as individuals, but as a whole, their stupidity will always remain unchanged. In view of this, Xiaodao decided to leave the gods in the world after the gods and ghosts have left the world.
, used to check and balance the power of the mortal dynasty and ensure the interests of the people..."
"Gongsun, you must have made a mistake!"
Before Kong Qing finished speaking, he saw Queen Mother Xi interrupting him with a half-smile.
"You just talked about the dangers of evil gods. In the blink of an eye, you plan to rely on gods to check and balance the mortal dynasty? How do you check and balance..."
"Yes! The evil god is indeed not a good thing, so..."
Having said this, Kong Qing waved his sleeves, and the Master of the Fengshen Bang flew out of his sleeves and floated beside him.
"When Xiaodao returned to this world, the Supreme Being specially gave Xiaodao this artifact, which can canonize and govern all gods. After Xiaodao's unremitting efforts in the past few years, he has screened about two-fifths of the gods in China, and some of them
The heinous evil god was killed by Xiaodao, and the remaining ones were all invited to the list of gods.
Next, Xiaodao will spend another year or two screening all the gods in China to ensure that all gods in China are on Xiaodao's list, thus completely solving the problem of evil gods."
"No wonder Gongsun, you have become notorious among the gods in recent years. It turns out that's the reason!"
After hearing Kong Qing's words, Queen Mother Xi tilted her head, looked at the list of gods floating beside Kong Qing, and then looked back.
"But what's the use of putting these gods on the list? Could it be that you can control them?"
"Exactly!"
In front of the Queen Mother of the West, Kong Qing nodded very frankly and revealed the secret of the list of gods.
"In the past, the reason why these gods who had obtained the power of heaven and earth dared to be moody and frequently bring down divine punishments on the world was mainly because our world did not have a mechanism to control and manage the gods. As a result, these gods were unscrupulous because they did not care what they did.
There is no punishment for anything! But..."
Kong Qing tapped the list of gods floating beside him with his hand.
"As long as these gods are on the minor road's list of gods, then a little bit of their true spirits will be included in the list. After that, the list of gods will have great jurisdiction over these gods on the list..."
Having said this, Kong Qing pondered for a moment.
"Well! Let me give you an analogy. If I stipulate in the list of gods that all the gods on the list are not allowed to use blood sacrifices, then even the evil gods who were so enthusiastic about blood sacrifices before, as long as they are on the list, they can only
Get rid of this habit!
In other words, once these gods are on the list, they can only follow the rules set by the trail for them, and the trail has given it a name, Tian Tiao, which means heavenly regulations!"
"oh!"
After hearing Kong Qing's words, Queen Mother Xi looked at the list of gods beside him and nodded slightly.
"I understand, so Gongsun, how do you plan to use the gods to check and balance the mortal dynasty? Don't forget that the mortal dynasty is protected by the dragon energy of all peoples. Even the gods can't do anything to the emperor's ministers and the like!
"
"Golden Mother, please rest assured, this matter has been resolved!"
As soon as Queen Mother Xi finished speaking, she saw that Kong Qing had already answered seriously.
"A few years ago, Xiaodao had quietly canonized the then secular dynasty's King Qin, the current emperor Li Shimin, and all his important ministers as gods, so their protective dragon energy was of no use to Xiaodao!
"
"..."
After hearing what Kong Qing said, the Queen Mother of the West was a little stunned.
"So... Gongsun, your so-called method is to use gods to rule humans? Of course, these gods are controlled by you, but what's the point? When you became the Yellow Emperor, you were more powerful than those gods, but you had
What’s the use?”
"..."
Because Kong Qing didn't know what problems Xuanyuan Huangdi encountered, what decisions he made, and what he was thinking when he made these decisions, he could only change the topic when he heard Queen Mother of the West mention Xuanyuan Huangdi.
.
"That's because no matter how powerful a person is, he can't handle everything perfectly, but a perfect system can do things that many powerful people can't do!"
After saying that, Kong Qing continued to talk to Queen Mother Xi.
"So as long as Xiaodao uses this list of artifacts to set rules for the gods that are perfect enough, the gods on the list can only abide by them unconditionally!"
Having said this, Kong Qing pondered for a moment and then said.
"For example, if Xiaodao stipulates to the gods listed on the list based on the laws of the mortal dynasty that they can only determine the size of divine punishment based on the size of the faults committed by those who disrespect the gods, then there will be no gods who can offer sacrifices just because of believers.
At that time, the offering table was overturned, and the offerings were eaten by dogs, so the opponent was punished by making the whole state and county have no rain for several years."
Hearing this, Queen Mother Xi raised her eyebrows strangely.
"Gongsun, where did you hear about the gods punishing each other with no rain in the entire state because their offerings were eaten by dogs? Why have I never heard of this?"
"Well……"
Kong Qing paused.
Golden Mother, you don’t know about this? This is something caused by your husband, the Jade Emperor! Well, there is no Jade Emperor in this world, and the husband of the Queen Mother of the West during the sacrifice was still the East Prince!
That’s okay!
"This is something that a certain god in another world has done. It has nothing to do with our world! However, gods are always moody. During this period, Xiaodao discovered a lot of incredible things from the records of the Taishi Bureau."
With that said, Kong Qing quickly brought the topic back to the topic.
"In short, with the help of this artifact, Xiaodao has initially taken control of the mortal dynasty, and established a world that is far different from the one Xiaodao has seen, but is already more clean than most of the previous dynasties.
A government that is efficient and treats the people well! If you, Golden Mother, wait a little longer, you will find that a prosperous age will appear again...
Golden Mother, do you think there are any omissions in Xiaodao's approach?"
"I can't tell you this!"
After listening to Kong Qing's words, Queen Mother Xi tilted her head and thought for a moment, then shook her head.
"After all, I have never been a human emperor like you, Gongsun, but I always feel that Gongsun, you just control the emperor and some important ministers of the dynasty, and it doesn't seem to solve any problems! After all, things that go up and down don't work have not been done before.
It didn’t happen…”
"The Golden Mother is extremely worried!"
As soon as Queen Mother Xi finished speaking, she heard Kong Qing continue to speak.
"So Xiaodao created a city god system in the human world. That is, in every large city, Xiaodao will canonize a city god, and in the villages under the city, Xiaodao will canonize an earth god in each village.
It is used to monitor the implementation of policies by officials in the human world, and whether they have done anything extraordinary, etc.
With the supervision of these gods, Xiaodao believes that most officials of the mortal dynasty can at least pretend to be fair and honest, so that the people of the world can at least suffer less!"
"Well, I probably understand what you mean, Gongsun!"
After Kong Qing finished explaining, Queen Mother Xi thought about it seriously and then spoke.
"But you've been talking for a long time, what do these things have to do with your desire to clean up Buddhism?"
"There's a huge stake in this!"
Kong Qing explained to Queen Mother Xi seriously.
"In addition to the fact that Buddhism has indeed done a lot of heinous things, and Xiaodao feels that he must be cruel to them, another very important reason is that Xiaodao knows that if he fully promotes this idea, he will inevitably have to follow the issue of the ownership of the incense.
Buddhism will have irreconcilable conflicts, so instead of rushing around when conflicts occur, it is better to take advantage of the collective dissatisfaction of Taoism with the small actions behind Buddhism and unite with Taoism to eradicate them in one fell swoop!"
"Incense..."
As an ancient great god, Queen Mother Xi had never considered the issue of faith. After hearing what Kong Qing said about incense, a puzzled look appeared on her face.
"Why does this matter have anything to do with incense?"
