Chapter 252: Expulsion from the Dao? Civil war breaks out?!
[September, the seventeenth year of Yuanhuang.]

【After a month of discussion. 】

【Regarding matters related to Taoism. 】

[I already have a rough outline.]

[“Next.”]

[“I’ll just have to ask you for help.”]

【“Reforms have been carried out within Taoism.”】

【Chen Huaixin looked at the Taoist temple master.】

[The Taoist temple master naturally nodded.]

[He didn't care whether the reformed Taoism could gain more power. As long as the people could live happily, he didn't care even if Taoism disappeared! ]

【"but."】

【“If it is the life of the people.”】

[“It’s even harder than before.”]

【"That……"】

[“I will use my own methods to seek justice for the people!”]

[The Taoist temple master looked at Chen Huaixin and said in a warning tone.]

[Of course he knows.]

[Some people are willing to give everything for the people when they have nothing, but once they gain power, they may become a different person, always thinking about their own interests.]

[He didn't know what Chen Huaixin would become in the future.]

[He only hopes that Chen Huaixin, who led the people to take back what should have belonged to them from the hands of the powerful and wealthy, will not forget his original intention! ]

[After hearing his words, Chen Huaixin answered very seriously.]

[“If that kind of thing really happened.”]

[“My head.”]

[“Anyone can come and take it!”]

……

[October, the seventeenth year of Yuanhuang.]

【Chen Huaixin was busy dealing with the establishment of a new country. 】

[The Taoist temple master is responsible for the reform of Taoism. ]

【For him. 】

【Whether it is Taoism. 】

Or another religion.

[It should all be for the people to have a place to rest their souls, or in other words, we should do our best to allow the people to benefit from it and live a slightly better life.]

【As for that religion. 】

What will it become?

[“There’s no need to worry about that!”]

[This is what the Taoist temple master thinks.]

[Of course he knew that his ideas were somewhat eccentric, and could even be called heretical! ]

[After all, the leaders of Taoism should put the interests of Taoism first! ]

【“As for the people.”】

[“That is our foundation.”]

[“But if we can’t convert them into believers, if we can’t make the incense burn vigorously.”]

[“There’s no need to put in too much effort, just keep up the appearance!”]

【This is what many Taoists think. 】

【so. 】

【When the Taoist temple master started the internal reform. 】

[The opposition that aroused was simply overwhelming! ]

[“I believe in the Three Pure Ones! Not some new country!”]

[“And we also need to abolish the rules that conflict with the law?”]

“Shouldn’t the law be with us? Shouldn’t the law be adapted to us?”

[“For this new country that is about to be established, we are willing to sacrifice our lives and shed our blood!”]

[“It’s just a slight change in the law. Is that too much?!”]

【“…”】

[Taoist priests opposed the temple master's reforms.]

【certainly. 】

【Among them. 】

【Some people accepted it silently.】

[Most of these people are members of the Taoist sect in Julu County. They are willing to hide in remote towns with the Taoist temple owner, so they naturally don’t have such a strong desire for fame and fortune.]

【So after hearing about this reform, I thought it didn’t matter and didn’t take it to heart. 】

【“As for those who object.”】

[“Most of them joined later.”] [“Because the Yellow Turban Army, which had Taoist influences, swept across the country.”]

[“It will naturally attract the attention of these Taoists, and make them join voluntarily or by force.”]

[The Taoist temple master sighed helplessly as he spoke.]

He admitted it.

【When overthrowing Chengguo. 】

[These Taoist priests who joined also put in a lot of effort. ]

【even.】

[Even when the Yellow Turban Army was forced to use the mountains and forests to move under the encirclement of the imperial court. ]

[Most of the Taoists did not leave, and still followed the Yellow Turban Army.]

[“Please use specific words.”]

[“They walked through deep mountains and old forests.”]

[“Now the new country is about to be established.”]

【“But their benefits will be cut.”】

[“This is unacceptable to them no matter what!”]

[The Taoist temple master knew their thoughts very well.]

【but. 】

[This is not a good thing for the new country, and it may not be good news for the people! ]

[The reason why the Taoist temple master agreed was because he vaguely guessed that if Taoism remained in its current form without any changes or reforms.]

【“The Taoism…”】

[“It is very likely that they will become a different kind of aristocratic family!”]

[The Taoist temple master didn't want to see the mountain that had been moved with great difficulty fall on the people again.]

[While he was thinking about how to better promote the reform within Taoism. ]

[Those Taoists who opposed the idea also gathered together to discuss the next countermeasures.]

【"anyway."】

【“Absolutely not allowed.”】

【“That so-called reform happened to us!”】

[“We have put so much effort into this new country that is about to be established, and have overcome numerous difficulties with the Yellow Turban Army. Can’t we be given a little bit of privilege?!”]

【This is the unanimous opinion of the opposing Taoists.】

[How to do this? They frowned and thought.]

【at last. 】

【A Taoist priest expressed his thoughts. 】

[“Because he is the leader of Taoism, he has the right to reform internal affairs.”]

[“But if we expel him from the Taoist sect, he will no longer be a leader, and he won’t even be a Taoist priest!”]

【"So……"】

[“Won’t that stop him?!”]

……

Outside the Golden Palace.

That is the future picture that was deduced.

This immediately made all the ministers excited.
