Although there is the Nankang City God, there are such bad examples before.
But there is one thing that even Gu Changsheng would agree with, that is, these gods of the Zhou Dynasty at least made a lot of contributions in their early years.
Even if you want to limit the authority of the gods, you can't do it too hastily.
This is like Gu Changsheng's memory of a dynasty in another world cutting off its vassals.
The five great gods.
They were the five vassal kings of the Zhou Dynasty.
Their authority is indeed strong, but not all of their gods are scum like Nankang City God.
so.
As for the imperial court, after Tianyue Shenjun opened his mouth, he reduced the number of incense cultivators in the spiritual courtyard to one-third.
The imperial court did not continue the persecution.
One third of the incense god cultivator.
It was enough to make the gods under Tianyue Shenjun not dare to be arrogant anymore.
As for the imperial court.
There is also enough face.
It will not be said by the government and the public that it is a waste of time and money.
But unexpectedly, an unexpected situation occurred.
That is.
All the gods in these spiritual institutes began to fall into decline.
This is contrary to the original intention of the court.
The reason why the imperial court agreed with the punishment result of Lord Tianyue and retained one-third of the incense cultivators in each spiritual academy was because of calculations.
Lost two-thirds of the incense cultivation.
Of course it will have an impact on the strength of the deities of the Spiritual Academy.
But at most, it means returning their realm to its original level.
Right now.
Originally the fourth-grade god of Yizhou City God, Zhuan relied on the incense he collected over the past many years and the benefits of worshiping the gods in the spiritual academy.
His strength has grown to the level of upper fourth grade or even nearly third grade.
Gradually he became arrogant.
But now, the incense cultivator has been cut by two-thirds.
It will bring their strength back to its original form.
Return to the fourth level realm.
on the one hand.
It's a beating to get them to be honest.
on the other hand.
It can also reduce local pressure.
Earlier, these gods were close to the third level and fourth level of cultivation by themselves, and at the local level, they almost bullied the local officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Now they don't have the ability.
and.
"Although they have lost a lot of cultivation, in the final analysis, it is not what they deserve!"
The empress' eyes were cold.
The tone is even more chilling!
When the imperial dynasty entrusted the gods to Zhuan, it was actually an advance payment transaction!
It was the Great Zhou Dynasty that used the destiny of the country as a guide, mobilized the power of humanistic faith, and formed the five divine kings. The gods under their command created the throne so that it could last forever with the destiny of the country!
To be rewarded with eternal life.
Let them sit in all the state capitals of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
The reward has been given long ago!
Even if these gods really want to make progress, it is not impossible.
As long as we work together to support the Great Zhou Dynasty, we can expand the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
That's when.
There will be more god-kings, more state-gods, and government-gods.
Naturally, they have room for improvement.
But by accident.
They chose the easiest way!
That is to wantonly search for incense and turn from a god who protects the people into an evil god who collects people's wealth and belief.
so.
Now cut down the incense god repair.
It just allows them to return to their true nature and take back all the benefits they don't deserve.
Even the current local feudal kings could not accuse the empress of being unfair.
But by accident.
Now there is an unexpected situation, that is.
After these incense cultivators were abolished.
The gods of various spiritual academies had indeed only fallen back to their divine status and corresponding realm in their initial cultivation.
But after that.
The speed of their decline has not slowed down.
On the contrary, it increased sharply every day.
Until now.
There are already thirty-seven gods, and their realm has fallen by a huge level!
This is not the result of simply losing the worship of disciples of the incense cultivator!
"This bunch of... incompetent silverfish!"
Even Xuanyuan Xue.
Listen to the empress vent her words.
They all shook their heads and smiled bitterly, with understanding in their eyes.
She understands the empress's thoughts very well.
Even Xuanyuan Xue now wants to scold those gods for being extremely incompetent!
The imperial court had already made predictions and made preparations.
Abolish the incense cultivator.
It won't let them fall too far. Even if they do fall, they will only fall by a big level at most.
and.
The more they fell, the more it showed that they had raided the city they were guarding in the past. The more religious the people in the city were, the more they needed to be punished.
But now.
Under the command of Tianyue Divine Lord, a full third of the gods fell to a state as simple as a big state?
There are even unlucky people who fall directly into two realms!
It fell so hard.
This can no longer be explained by searching for incense in the past.
This can only explain one thing.
That is, the local people do not trust these gods at all!
"What did they do locally in the past?"
"How can the common people be so indifferent to them?"
The empress' eyes looked a little tired, and she even had a headache.
She had calculated it well.
The Spiritual Academy was abolished here, and the disciples of Incense God Cultivator were absorbed into the city defense camp to arrest the guards.
there.
Then order the gods of these spiritual institutes to continue to provide support for these disciples of Incense Dao with their faith and divine power to ensure that they have no chance to engage in any small tricks.
But I never expected that the plan would be disrupted as soon as it was launched.
The disciples of Incense God cultivator entered the city defense camp to search for the guards.
But the gods of the Spiritual Academy, I don’t know if they planned it in advance or if they are really this bad.
Such a drastic fall.
This made it difficult for the empress to give orders and ask those gods to provide faith support for the Xianghuo Shinto disciples in the Jisi Guard Station and the City Defense Camp.
The empress has ruled the country until now, although she has already consolidated her throne.
But the empress knew.
Her uncles were secretly watching her every move.
I just haven't found the opportunity yet.
But if she gives the order now, let those gods continue to provide incense and divine power to those Shinto monks who have withdrawn from the spiritual academy.
Those gods will definitely experience another big fall.
And until then.
Having been waiting for a long time, I am afraid that those princes and princes who have no reason to attack the empress will definitely jump out as quickly as possible to attack the empress and the government!
And that is the real trouble!
But now...
The empress looked at the report sent by Yulongsi.
His face was full of helplessness.
"That's all, let's first withdraw ten thousand taels of silver from the treasury."
"Split it into two parts and send it to the Jisi Guards and the City Defense Battalion. It can be regarded as a certain subsidy for those spiritual cultivators who stay in the Jisi Guards and the City Defense Battalion."
The empress sighed and said slowly.
Listen to the Queen's words.
The chief envoys of the Yulong Division, Bai Yushu and Xuanyuan Xue, looked at each other. Both women were a little helpless, but they also bowed down and accepted the order honestly: "I obey the order!"
