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

Chapter 315: When the public is angry, a war of words
[“I have met the champion, and I wish you infinite happiness!”]

[“Blessings to the Immortal Heavenly Lord…”]

【Loud shouts were heard from all around.】

[There is sarcasm, disdain, and contempt in these voices.]

【Uneven and messy. 】

[The Taoist leader had a calm expression.]

[My main purpose for coming here today is to face the wrath of those who are unwilling to conform to the Tao.]

[Even if he was not wrong, for the sake of Taoism, for the future of Yuguo, and to live up to Chen Huaixin's trust, he was ready to give everything.]

【When you are alive, you should do what you must do! 】

[He was indeed accompanied by some followers.]

[Among these followers, there are Taoists who have awakened in advance, Taoist friends who came from Julu, and people who share the same ideals as the Taoist leader.]

【Today's discussion is far superior to the ancient debates on kingship and hegemony. 】

[Some people present even had murderous intentions.]

[The momentum is oppressive, the strong are surrounding, and the wind is fierce. 】

[“My fellow Taoists, we have gathered here today to discuss the Dao in order to seek an opportunity to unite the Dao. As long as this plan can be accomplished, the Dao will have no worries in the future and its inheritance will be immortal!”]

[The Taoist leader's remarks did not impress the audience.]

【Although.】

[Everyone knew the purpose of his trip, but when it came to the point, no one was ready to speak.]

[“We have gathered here to discuss the truth. Although I am the leader, I have received the emperor’s grace, which was granted by His Majesty. How can you be so magnanimous!”]

【Speaking of this.】

【There was some movement among the crowd.】

[One of the Taoist priests with frowning eyebrows suddenly stood up, holding a whisk in his hand, with a gloomy face and a look of arrogance in his eyes.]

[This person's surname is Ma. He is the Taoist master of the Qinyang Mountain in Chang'an City. He brought his disciples down the mountain for today's event.]

【The people around were all excited when they saw this scene. 】

[“Fellow Daoist Ma, we cultivated the Dao in the past, so we must not lose points.”]

[“Yes, cheer up!”]

[“Well done, good job!”]

【“See what he does!”】

[For a moment, the crowd was indignant, and those Taoists who were not optimistic about the Taoist leader were ready to respond. ]

……

Under the sky, the people who saw this scene all gasped.

The scene was so large that it was difficult to control.

Those Taoists had completely lost their usual demeanor as practitioners.

Although he was not a ferocious monster, his harsh and fierce attitude was very different from the past.

"I'm afraid this will make things difficult for the court and bring disaster to the country."

"Can Chen Huaixin handle it? This time he's not rebelling, I'm just afraid his position is too awkward."

"Yes, although religious laws have been enacted, they cannot restrain such contradictions."

"This is troublesome."

In the eyes of the common people, these things are disputes that they cannot understand at all, so there is nothing they can do except sigh and lament.

But at this moment, those Taoists who already had ambitions were very happy.

Judging from the situation, the great Yu Kingdom is about to face disaster.

No matter whether the Taoist leader can win today, it will be a fight of internal friction and losses!

As long as the results of the deduction develop according to normal circumstances, the outcome will be irreversible!
By then.

They can take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble!
The future Yu Kingdom will establish Taoism as its state religion, and the current Cheng Kingdom can also do so.

That will prove the power of Taoism!

Powerful enough to influence the national situation!
even.

There is still a possibility.

Force the Taoist leader to death in front of Chen Huaixin!

Even Chen Huaixin couldn't save the situation, let alone the current empress Ji Qingluo.

Taoists inside and outside Chang'an City stopped to watch and looked up at the sky.

They no longer practiced, longing for future changes.

Ji Qingluo let out a long sigh.

"How's it going out there now?"

The lower-level officials looked at each other in bewilderment, until Wang Qianhe snorted coldly, and then they stammered: "The Taoists are all very excited, they are all waiting for the results of the deduction, they..."

"All right."

Ji Qingluo waved his hand, signaling them to leave first.

The hearts of Taoists are different and it is difficult to restrain them, especially now!

In the future, there will still be suppression from Chen Huaixin, but now he is the only one standing on this shaky throne.

Walking on thin ice, feeling extremely nervous.

As those officials said, today's simulations have begun to affect the real world.

If an accident occurs in Hedao of the country and breaks Chen Huaixin's past prestige, then Taoism in Chengguo will probably be out of control.

maybe.

It will also trigger another similar disaster!
But now.

They can only wait and see!
……

[“Captain, I will start the discussion with you first!”]

[The Taoist priest Ma who had just stepped forward came to the Taoist leader with a fierce look on his face.]

【"please!"】

[Under the worried gazes of his followers, the Taoist leader stood up and saluted with both hands, looking very calm.]

[Today's situation is nothing more than fighting back against the enemy and covering up the water with earth. ]

[There is no other way. ]

[The atmosphere was extremely tense.]

[“Our Taoist ancestors taught us to seek the truth without doing anything, so that we can have a clear conscience. Now, Leader, you have gathered us here to demand unity with the Tao for the sake of your so-called imperial cause. Isn’t this a departure from our ancestral teachings?”]

[The sky collapses. 】

【The people around were all shocked.】

[This is too cruel! ]

[The Taoist leader was placed on the opposite side right from the start. ]

[“The words of our predecessor must not be forgotten.”]

[The Taoist leader smiled calmly at this moment, then answered calmly, and his expression remained calm afterwards.]

[“But can the aspirations of our predecessors be abandoned?”]

[“We practice Taoism to create the world, and seek Taoism and inaction to cultivate ourselves. We can also have a clear conscience for serving the country. The imperial cause exists for the people. It is your majesty’s intention that we be respected as the state religion. It is absurd to cultivate ourselves without participating in the world!”]

[“Do we have to waste our three-foot-tall bodies and become a Taoist who seeks fame and reputation and is passed down through the ages?”]

[The words are straightforward and every sentence is heart-piercing. ]

[They were all stunned by the thunderous speech, and the other Taoist friends' faces changed drastically. It was so unexpected! ]

[The debate among Taoist sects is about realm and vision. It is obvious that the leader of Taoism is superior at this moment.]

[The atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed dramatically. ]

【The Taoist priest Ma immediately lost his temper.】

[I wanted to say something more, but now that things have come to this, there is nothing I can do.]

【but. 】

【Nevertheless.】

【But it’s not over yet! 】

[The following is a verbal battle, a debate. ]

[“Leader, a hundred schools of thought have flourished, and none of them should be neglected. If you destroy a branch school just for the sake of unity, wouldn’t that be a great sin?”]

[“What if the branch school is complacent and refuses to keep up with the times? If they insist on sticking to the old ways, are they just looking for an excuse to rebel in the future?”]

[“Is it wrong for us to just want to live in a remote corner?”]

[“It is a big mistake to be proud of having the idea of ​​saving the world!”]

[“May I ask the leader…”]

[“Champion! I have another question…”]
