After stepping on all the noble families, the empress asked me to marry her?

Chapter 255: Two-sidedness of public opinion! Reaping the benefits?

[December, the seventeenth year of Yuanhuang.]

【After waiting for half a month in anxiety. 】

[The Taoist priests finally felt relieved. ]

【because.】

【In their opinion.】

【Such a long time.】

[Chen Huaixin has never come to look for them, and has never come to discuss Taoism with them, so he can only admit defeat and acquiesce to Taoism's current state! ]

【Thinking of this. 】

[The Taoist priests were overjoyed.]

【even if.】

【During this period.】

[Some Taoists expressed concerns.]

[Will Chen Huaixin have other means? ]

【But they were all eliminated by their words.】

[“No matter what means he uses, he must take public opinion into consideration!”]

[“Now the people’s public opinion is on our side!”]

“You want to promote change, but you don’t come to us.”

[“That only means… he gave up!”]

[These Taoist priests are very confident.]

【In their opinion.】

[They successfully dealt with the temple master's reforms, so they naturally hold the initiative now. Chen Huaixin previously discussed with the temple master because of his status as the leader. Now that the temple master has lost his Taoist status, even if he wants to make further changes, he can only discuss it with them! ]

【Did not come.】

[The only option is to give up.]

【What else could it be! 】

【"and."】

[“We have a talisman called public opinion!”]

[“We also have some reputation in the army.”]

[“Even Chen Huaixin wouldn’t dare to take any other measures to attack us!”]

[The more these Taoists thought about it, the more they felt that this was the case.]

[Some of them no longer care about this matter, but discuss with others which famous mountains and rivers they should occupy after the founding of the country to make their Taoist temple famous.]

【"otherwise."】

[“Why not just divide Chang’an City into two.”]

[“On one side is the imperial palace, on the other side is the Taoist temple.”]

[“This will also highlight the contribution of Taoism!”]

[Some Taoist priests even proposed this idea.]

【While they were happily discussing the future. 】

【Chen Huaixin was naturally not idle.】

[He did not look for a Taoist priest.]

[Purely because these people don’t deserve it! ]

[“They…are they worthy of discussing this with me in person?!”]

[At Chen Huaixin's request, all the records of the Taoist priests before they joined the Yellow Turban Army were dug out one by one.]

[Except for the Julu Taoist sect of the Taoist temple master and a few other Taoist temples, most of the Taoist sects that survived in Chengguo have more or less served as dogs for the aristocratic families.]

[And when a dog is about to do something, he already knows it without even thinking about it.]

【Looking at the pile of guilt, the Taoist temple master couldn't help but sigh. 】

[Of course he knew that these Taoists did this in order to survive, but the heinous evidence still shocked him greatly.]

[“After joining the Yellow Turbans, these Taoist friends did a lot to overthrow the Cheng Kingdom and crush the aristocratic families.”]

[“But this does not conflict with their previous evil deeds.”]

【Chen Huaixin's tone was indifferent.】

[It’s not that he didn’t give those Taoists a chance. ]

[The Taoist temple master's mild reforms were his tacit approval.]

【if.】

【Those Taoist priests. 】

【Actively cooperate with the Taoist temple master to promote reform. 】

[Then he would not have found the evidence. ]

【“But since they gave up this opportunity.”】

[“Then…”]

【“Let them have their amulets.”】

[“Become that death warrant!”]

【Chen Huaixin's voice was calm. 】【Public opinion can protect people, but it can also kill people. 】

【And this. 】

【That’s just right. 】

【Promote the birth of religious law! 】

……

Outside the Golden Palace.

Look at the predicted future.

Wang Qianhe suddenly sighed.

“I want to rely on public opinion.”

"To serve as your own amulet?"

"Chen Huaixin is the master at this!"

Wang Qianhe thought so.

Even without newspapers.

But when it comes to how to grasp and manipulate public opinion, Chen Huaixin knows more about it than anyone else!
Not to mention relying on fabricated evidence to suppress the reputation of the Taoist temple master, even if the evidence was true, how could it be spread among the people without Chen Huaixin's consent!

"Even though this is an army with religious influences, Chen Huaixin still has a strong control over it!"

Wang Qianhe looked at the smug Taoist priest and shook his head.

but.

Before the founding of the country.

This happened.

It still made him feel a little helpless.

"This can be considered as the hidden danger of relying on religion to start a rebellion."

"It's a good thing that the leader is Chen Huaixin. If it was someone else, I'm afraid the Taoist sect would really succeed."

"And that new country..."

“It is also possible to be dominated by religion!”

Wang Qianhe had no idea what a country where religion was more important than imperial power would be like.

In that case, no matter what you want to develop, you will probably encounter huge resistance, right?
Wang Qianhe was thinking.

And the Taoist sect of Chengguo.

As they looked at the predicted future, the confidence on their faces turned into worry.

"We use public opinion to protect ourselves, and he uses it against us?"

"This……"

“How vicious!!!”

Many Taoists looked unhappy.

especially.

In knowing.

Chen Huaixin intends to take this opportunity to allow the religious law to be born.

This even made them suspect that their future selves using public opinion to target the Taoist temple master was actually condoned by him!

In fact, every move of his future self had already been predicted by him, or in other words, controlled by him!
"in this way."

“He was able to turn the situation into this.”

"He will be able to implement the new law in a logical way!"

"How could Chen Huaixin be so sinister?"

The more these Taoists thought about it, the more frightened they felt!

Facing such a person.

How could they be opponents!

"so."

"most."

"It should be him."

"It doesn't exist in this world!"

"This way we have a chance to succeed!"

Think of this.

Some Taoists began to retreat.

Because this deduction of the future is most likely the work of an immortal.

If they attack Chen Huaixin, wouldn't that anger the immortal?
But other Taoists felt that this was indeed the work of immortals, but it did not mean that the immortals would pay attention to Chen Huaixin. He might just be lucky and his future was predicted by the immortals!

"and."

"There's no need for us to do anything to him."

"The aristocratic families will not let him go!"

The more these Taoists thought about it, the more they felt that this possibility was great, and the smiles on their faces became brighter!
Wait until the snipe and the clam fight each other.

They can then reap the benefits!
