"In addition, if good men and women sincerely want to become a monk, the government will not stop them."
"Last point, Shaolin can manage all the martial arts on behalf of the imperial court."
When the last words came out of his mouth, Jie Wang, who was originally calm and seemed to have no interest, immediately raised his head and looked at Li Chen.
Ji Wang's reaction was all within Li Chen's expectations, and he was not worried that Ji Wang would not take the bait.
Being the leader in the world, this is a dream that many sects have been fighting for for hundreds of years and have never given up on.
Although Shaolin is highly respected in martial arts circles, if Shaolin comes out and says that it is the best in the world, countless people will definitely attack it.
None of these sects in the world have been inherited for hundreds of years, and they do not recognize Shaolin at all.
But now, the imperial court can give Shaolin an officially recognized name and let them manage the world. Even if Shaolin has a good reputation, although there is a high probability that it will be ridiculed by people in the world, it is still sour grapes.
What's more important for Shaolin is that once it establishes its reputation as the best in the world, it will become much easier to recruit disciples and believers.
Inheritance and incense are exactly what Shaolin, which is gradually declining, urgently needs.
Therefore, the third condition given by Li Chen can be said to perfectly address Shaolin's pain points.
"Is what His Highness said true?" Jie Wang asked.
Li Chen said leisurely: "Monks don't tell lies, and I speak eloquently."
Jie Wang almost immediately continued: "Then this poor monk would like to thank the temple for Buddhism in the world..."
"Wait a minute."
Li Chen raised his hand to interrupt Ji Wang's words, and said with a smile: "Master, don't you think that I don't have any requirements?"
"People and things in this world come and go. To put it bluntly, they are all transactions. If I can satisfy Shaolin's request, then Shaolin should also solve my urgent needs."
Jie Wang looked at Li Chen and said, "The poor monk said that Shaolin will fully support His Highness."
Shaking his head, Li Chen said: "Full support? What kind of full power method? Is it a matter of hard work but no effort, or verbal support? If these are not clearly stated, how can I send the plaque of the largest sect in the world to Shaolin?"
Jie Wang said: "But please make it clear, Your Highness."
Looking at Jie Wang with an expectant look on his face, Sanbao, who was standing behind Li Chen, twitched the corner of his mouth.
Is quitting forgetfulness powerful?
There are countless terrestrial gods in the world on one hand, and they have almost reached the pinnacle of martial arts that humans can achieve. If he wants to kill people, no one in the entire capital can stop him. This is strength.
The most senior old man in Shaolin in the North and South, he can mobilize tens of thousands of Buddhist disciples in the world with just one order. No one dares to disobey. This is power.
But if you have strength and power, so what.
No, it's better to be deceived by the prince.
Facts have proved that at any time, imperial power is the most noble in the world.
No matter how good he is in fighting, in the eyes of Emperor Quan, he is just a handy thug, not even qualified to be on the stage.
As for the one hundred thousand monks, they were nothing compared to the imperial army.
"I want three thousand Shaolin masters to obey Dongchang's orders." Li Chen said leisurely.
Such a simple request made Jie Wang a little embarrassed.
In the Jianghu, whether they are regular sects or individual knights, what they hate and look down upon the most is not necessarily the imperial court, but Dongchang.
Those who were killed the most by the Dongchang Jinyiwei were also people like them.
The Jin Yiwei of Dongchang called the Jianghu people as local chickens and dogs, while the Jianghu people called the Jinyiwei of Dongchang as the hawks and dogs of the imperial court. There was nothing but hatred between them.
If Shaolin dares to brave the world and bring 3,000 masters to Dongchang for cooperation, not to mention how people in the world will ridicule and despise Shaolin, even within Shaolin, there will be many objections.
