    Hearing Liu Jin¡¯s evaluation of religion, Emperor Hongzhi thought for a long time and nodded in approval.

    In almost every place on the earth, religious and divine power is greater than secular political power. Only in the East, secular political power has always been greater than divine power. A large part of the reason for this is that emperors of all dynasties have maintained a high degree of vigilance in this regard.

    There have been many incidents of extermination of Buddhism in history, largely because the development of Buddhist temple monks has seriously affected the normal development of society.

    Monks and temples occupy a large amount of fertile land, a large number of people belong to Buddhism, do not engage in production, and enjoy the worship of believers, coupled with the fact that monks are infertile, etc., these have seriously hindered the progress and development of society.

    This is also the reason why Buddhas were exterminated in history.

    You can see its essence clearly by uncovering the things preached by the monks. Although there is an aspect of persuading people to do good, it is more about making people content with the status quo and willing to suffer and be tired, so that they will have blessings after death. Or maybe  Only in the next life can you be reborn into a good family.

    At the same time, through some special means, for example, Western Christianity says that you can use money to buy indulgences, so that you can alleviate your sins.

    Buddhism in the Nanyang region encourages everyone to donate part of their annual income to temples, which can reduce the evil they have done. Offering incense to temples, etc. is also a kind of good deed.

    In fact, the essence is the same, by deliberately creating something scary, and then describing the beauty of death and the afterlife, and then using things like indulgences to defraud wealth.

    ??Essentially speaking, they are not good things.

    "Perhaps only Chinese Taoism is relatively better. It emphasizes purity and inaction, self-reliance, and no indulgences. It has built a huge system of immortals, but it tells you to practice and rank among the immortals.

    Of course, it can also be said that Taoism is not mature and has not yet developed to the level of a world-class religion. If it really reaches that level, maybe it will be the same.

    "Your Majesty, I have advised you on the matter of religion before. Our country, Ming Dynasty, should strictly prohibit the spread of all religions. Whether it is Buddhism, Taoism, or other foreign religions, we must strictly prohibit their spread in our country.  .¡±

    "The news coming back from the Golden Continent is that in Europe, Christianity has ruled Europe for a very long time. The power of the Pope is far greater than that of the emperor of a secular country. He can even decide the life or death of the emperor of a country with a single word."

    "Here in the Middle East, what we know now is that in the countries here, their emperor is both an emperor and a religious leader, generally called a sultan."

    "In addition, here in Tianzhu, their religion divides people into three, six or nine levels, and the highest level of Brahman is the religious sacrifice."

    ¡°With the expansion and development of the Ming Dynasty around the world, we should pay great attention to this aspect in advance. One is to strictly prohibit the spread of foreign religions and prohibit their missionaries from entering the Ming Dynasty.¡±

    ¡°Secondly, we should crack down hard on the places where they have already appeared. Evict all those who can be evicted, and clear out those who cannot be evicted.¡±

    ¡°The third aspect is to vigorously promote and popularize our Chinese civilization, replace the original civilization with our splendid Chinese civilization, and establish the ideas of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.¡±

    When talking about this matter, Liu Jin also expressed concern to Emperor Hongzhi again.

    It is easy to conquer a place, but it is not easy to conquer a civilization.

    When the Mongols were at their most powerful, they almost spanned the entire Eurasian continent and established an extremely vast territory. But did they really succeed?

    Because of their lack of culture, they were quickly conquered by the powerful local civilization. Who conquered whom?

    The Ming Dynasty is very powerful in all aspects, but the larger its territory and the wider the area it rules, the more intense the collision with other powerful civilizations will be.

    This kind of collision is not only a military, territorial, and economic collision, but also a collision in many aspects such as culture, civilization, spirituality, religion, etc., in all aspects.

    Although the Chinese civilization is bright and dazzling, Liu Jin believes that it has its own strong influence and conquest, but paying great attention to this aspect from the beginning can reduce a lot of troubles for future generations.

    "Hmm~"

    "When you go back, write a detailed memorial. Then we will discuss it in the court and form a relevant law. By then, wherever our Ming Dynasty goes, we canAlthough he is dim and incompetent, he is still central to Daming, but his son Baiya is a complete idiot. If he messes with him like this, Daming's power in Hami will disappear.

    Originally, Hami was the bridgehead for Emperor Hongzhi to attack the Western Regions. The Hami Guards knew the Western Regions better. With the cooperation of the Hami Guards, it would be much easier to conquer the Western Regions.

    Who knew that something like this would happen at this juncture.

    "Your Majesty, Turpan has repeatedly invaded our Ming Dynasty, and the Hami Guards have always been swinging back and forth between our Ming Dynasty and Turpan. I, the Ming Dynasty, can't bear it, and use the rapid dispatch of troops to quell Turpan, and severely punish the Hami Guards to set an example!"

    Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi was furious, Xie Qian, Liu Daxia and others immediately looked at each other and hurriedly stood up to express their stance.

    They are just waiting for this, waiting for an excuse and reason to use troops in the Western Regions.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
