Kong Sheng's voice was still gentle, but the content of his words made Kong Hanan's hair stand on end.
Looking at the Confucian methods he had come into contact with during this period, Kong Hanan could see that Confucianism had hidden traitors in every faction.
When Qiao Daoling was wearing the imposing Taoist robe, it was also clear that there were undercover Confucianists among the high-ranking officials of the Taoist school.
But he never imagined that the Jade Emperor, who was about to be promoted to one of the Six Heavenly Kings, was actually a god worshipped by Confucianism.
This kind of layout is really far-reaching.
As we all know, Confucianism does not believe in God. Confucius once said, "Do not talk about strange things, supernatural powers, or gods."
But Confucianism believes in Heaven and worships one God.
This God does not refer to Jehovah in the West. The word God has existed for a long time, but it was just translated and applied by Kong Hanan in his previous life.
The God of Confucianism does not have a specific human figure, but represents heaven.
The emperor was called "Son of Heaven", which means that the emperor was the person on earth who acted on behalf of Heaven.
After the promotion of Confucian education, the common people often say "God is watching what you do" or "Oh my God", which also refers to this God.
Thinking of this, Kong Hanan broke out in a cold sweat.
Whether in the previous life or this life, the original Four Emperors actually have roots.
For example, a disciple of the Three Pure Ones, or a former human king, or a saint who has attained enlightenment in the world.
Only the Jade Emperor was missing, as if he appeared out of thin air.
According to legend, the Jade Emperor is said to be the incarnation of Heaven and is the Tao himself. He went through countless tribulations before he cultivated a divine body.
But since this main god is the incarnation of the way of heaven, he does not appear to be very strong. If Kong Hanan is the incarnation of the way of heaven, why should he care about the Three Pure Ones and the Four Emperors?
Still bothering to advance to "Six Imperials"?
But now thinking about it, he was shocked...
Confucianism has mastered education, the means of promotion, writing and communication, and has unknowingly truly mastered the beliefs of the world.
They didn't need to deliberately publicize it, just a few words in a document, and they could unconsciously create a god among the Taoist gods...
Whether it was the layout and planning of Confucius in this life, or the myths and legends of the previous life...
In terms of heaven, the status of Tathagata Buddha is lower than that of the Jade Emperor...
Kong Hanan had always believed that no matter how good the foreign monks were at chanting, they were still superior to the local gods, but now it seemed...
This is the conspiracy...
The promotion of faith ultimately depends on public opinion...
Public opinion is in my hands, the supreme throne is in my hands, no matter whether you are a dragon or a tiger, you have to lie down.
Then, Confucius received many more scrolls...
During this period, the casualties in various places were recorded...
Although the number of undead in the underworld has increased dramatically, in fact, since the day the old emperor passed away, the division within the imperial study has allowed the gods of various places to show their full power...
Compared to the total population, the casualties are indeed not that great...
The Jade Emperor worshipped by Taoist Yuan is a pawn of Confucianism...
The other gods and the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas of Buddhism are also involved.
The Buddhist sect’s previous attempt in Minnan County was brutally suppressed by the imperial court. Now, they have an opportunity to gain a legitimate status, so of course they will cherish it.
Kong Hanan could even imagine that the Buddha was looking at the Taoist gods with a smile.
Will you help the people in Da Qi from the natural disasters that have hit the country?
If you don't save us, then we Buddhists will show our power and harvest our faith. Then don't blame us for having no place for you in heaven.
Kong Hanan couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
He is very good at driving tigers to devour wolves, but he is far inferior to the Confucians in this skill.
The Confucian officials simply stood by and watched the gods on both sides display their methods...
Afterwards, you can build a temple and pay your respects there hypocritically.
Is this what is called... moderation?
"It's better to open it up than to block it. If their gods and Buddhas want to believe in them, then I will give them faith, but everything must follow our rules."
"So, although we, the Confucian sect, participated in the conspiracy against the Heaven, we also had our own plan. I call it the Conferred God."
"Meng Yu knows about the Conferred Gods, but he still places too much importance on the lives of mortals. Therefore, he can only be comparable to a saint, but will never become a saint. At most, he is a sub-saint..."
"The sky is falling. Although some people will be sacrificed, the final result will still make our human race invincible..."
"The human race will truly stand up!"
"Han An, can you understand me?"
The gentle voice of Kong Sheng sounded beside Kong Hanan's ears.
Although the voice was gentle, it seemed like a knife stabbing Kong Hanan's heart...
He once thought that he was high and mighty enough.
To win over subordinates and temper other people's temperaments may cause disgust to many people.
But now, the perspective from which Confucius stood was even higher than his...
So high that he looked down upon all living things, so high that he used all living things and gods and Buddhas as chess pieces...
The gods and Buddhas were tied to the wheels of the Confucian chariot, rolling forward with the wheels...
"Why are you telling me this, uncle?"
Kong Hanan's voice was a little hoarse, but he still lowered his head, looking at the casualties reported by various counties.
Confucius said with a smile.
"Because you are capable, before you knew it, you have become the ruler of the underworld, the king of the underworld..."
"You are now in a high position, so you should be able to understand your uncle's difficulties..."
"Although you may not be in the human world anymore, if you wish, there should be a place for you in the priesthood of heaven."
Kong Hanan looked at the scroll report in his hand, which contained cold and monotonous numbers.
That's right, judging from the data alone, except for Beidi County, there are actually no major problems in other places, with casualties "no more than" eleven.
But above all, every number represents a life, a family...
On the scroll in his hand, every number seemed to be oozing blood...
How many of these statistics are true?
Can the number of missing persons be calculated?
Zhong Kui and his sister are still searching for their mother...
What about those mortals who were "ascended to heaven"?
It can't be that Dongji Qinghua is the only one guiding people, right?
Buddhism, won’t they establish their own Buddhist kingdom?
If Kong Hanan had not unified the underworld and become the King of Hell, would he be qualified to know about this so-called "deification" plan?
If he were still the down-and-out scholar he was before, would he also become a cold number in these data?
"Among the priesthood, there needs to be a god who governs death. What do you think of the title 'Emperor of Fengdu'?"
"Or, I will petition the court to enthrone you as the Yin Emperor?"
The voice of Confucius was still ringing in his ears, but Kong Hanan interrupted him hoarsely.
"What does my uncle need me to do?"
This interruption was a bit rude, and Confucius frowned.
"You don't need to do anything special. Just respect the Crown Prince of Da Qi as the emperor and protect the national destiny of Da Qi."
Kong Hanan laughed.
"Am I respecting the Crown Prince, or you? Or rather, the entire code of ethics?"
