Zhu Moye thought about this point and felt that it was easy to solve. He believed that with his control, the problem of such a department would not be difficult to solve.

I just need to think carefully about how much authority this department has and to what extent it should be limited, Zhu Moye thought in his mind, pondering this series of questions.

Under the current circumstances, Zhu Moye suddenly remembered what regulations the Jinyiwei was set up according to.

At the beginning, the Jinyiwei served as the emperor's eyes and ears, gathering information for the emperor alone.

Such an institution has great power. It would be fine if a strong emperor was in power, but if the emperor was not strong enough, his control over such an institution would naturally be weakened.

An institution with such great power can easily become a stumbling block that harms the entire government if it is not under control.

Zhu Moye didn't want this kind of thing to happen to him, and he had experience in this.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Moye suddenly smiled. He was not the kind of person who needed to know about the daily life of his subjects. His desire for control was not that strong.

Speaking of which, what mainly reminded Zhu Moye of the Jinyiwei organization was that he recently discovered that he did not have enough information channels. In this case, many places in this world seemed inconvenient.

For example, most of the time, he still needs some spies to pass on information to him. At this moment, Zhu Moye would discover this shortcoming, but he had been busy before and forgot about it.

At this time, Zhu Moye came up with an idea if he thought about it again.

After all, this is not entirely a world of mortals. Since it is the world of Journey to the West, there are bound to be various resources.

If there is an organization with all-powerful information to collect information for you, it can often make many things easier.

Thinking of this, Zhu Moye immediately found a minister and explained his previous thoughts to him.

According to Zhu Moye's identity at the time, he needed to do everything himself. As long as he had considered the organization, there would naturally be plenty of people to assign to handle the matter.

What Zhu Moye needs to do is to think about how much authority to give these people after this organization is established.

However, Zhu Moye didn't have to worry about these things at this time. This organization could bring some conveniences and even help himself with this identity. Naturally, it was not an easy thing to establish it.

At least, this is something that needs long-term consideration. Zhu Moye knows that there is still a long way to go.

Otherwise, waiting for a half-finished organization is not something Zhu Moye can accept now. He would rather waste time waiting.

Anyway, Zhu Moye has a saying here: we have money and people, and it is not difficult to establish an organization in the Tang Dynasty. It is just that finding people and training them in the early stages will be more troublesome.

These are all things that can be solved in time and are not overly difficult problems.

Now, after Zhu Moye had explained everything, the only thing he had to think about was what to do next.

The question comes back to the original one: how to improve your own strength?

The quickest way would be to first find the natural treasures of this world.

The first thing Zhu Moye thought of was to make use of these external objects. However, after thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have not found anything suitable for him to use.

However, these don’t matter. At least, in Zhu Moye’s eyes at this moment, he still has some time.

When Li Jing and his men return to Heaven and report the results of this battle, it will definitely take some time, and it will also take some time to settle the results and get the results.

Even though they are immortals, their speed is slowed down because of this, resulting in them being slower than usual in this situation. They have to do a lot of things, and Zhu Moye now has a lot of free time to prepare.

According to the ratio of one day in heaven to one year on earth, this time the settlement in heaven will take at least one day, which means more than one year for Zhu Moye.

Of course, this may be considered a wealthy time for others, but it may not be a wealthy time for Zhu Moye.

After all, the opponent is the Heavenly Court. Even if the immortals are so slow and bloated, they are still the Heavenly Court. In this situation, they are so eager to kill Zhu Moye that they will not let him go no matter what.

Zhu Moye himself had anticipated this a long time ago, but it was hard to say under the current circumstances.

Chapter 617 Preparations

In short, under the current circumstances, Zhu Moye was still very clear at this time, and he explained the things he needed to do one by one.

Including the establishment of a new intelligence department. Although the other party didn't quite understand Zhu Moye's intentions at first, it didn't matter. After Zhu Moye briefly introduced the department's main tasks, the other party immediately understood. The emperor wanted to establish a spy agency that belonged only to him, and with the royal resources and power provided, he could already imagine that this organization would become a huge institution after it was established. Just thinking about it was enough to make people daunted. However, this organization would be established by him. At that time, he might also be able to act as its brains and reap a lot of benefits.

However, the moment he turned around, he did not see Zhu Moye's thoughtful look behind him.

Of course, it cannot be said that Zhu Moye was very confident in handing over this organization to the person in front of him. He was already thinking about how to deal with this person.

"If we want him to keep his mouth shut forever about this kind of thing, simply demoting him won't be enough to put our minds at ease." Zhu Moye pondered, but he had already pronounced the fate of the man who walked out of the hall.

At the same time, in this world, Zhu Moye was still pondering the series of things he had encountered when he first came to this world.

Most people know the story of Journey to the West, which is about four masters and apprentices who went on a journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures. However, most people ignore the meaning behind this story.

Although it seems that this story itself is nothing special, in fact, it also contains the attitudes of Buddhism and Taoism. There is no doubt that the four masters and apprentices are the key points in this.

Putting aside other things, Zhu Moye's fingers tapped the table rhythmically. He was thinking about what the next step should be, and Tang Seng didn't know where he was at this time.

Zhu Moye's expression stiffened slightly as he suddenly thought of Tang Sanzang, who was undoubtedly the most representative character in the story of Journey to the West. What reminded Zhu Moye was that among the four masters and apprentices, Tang Sanzang's stance was undoubtedly the most resolute.

Nonsense, Tang Seng himself is a staunch Buddhist, he has faith in Buddhism, and Zhu Moye still remembers that Tang Seng's previous life was the reincarnation of the Golden Cicada in heaven.

Such a person is also a seed player in Buddhism. If such a person really comes to this mortal world, he will definitely unswervingly turn to Buddhism again and complete the task successfully.

When he thought of this, Zhu Moye felt a chill in his heart unconsciously, because at this time he had already roughly thought of what the outcome of this story would be. In the end, there was no doubt that Tang Seng would complete the task with unswerving determination and obtain the final satisfactory result.

However, how could Zhu Moye let him complete the task so easily?

You have to know that if Zhu Moye had no enmity with Buddhism, it would have been fine. But this time, when Zhu Moye just came to this world, he was plotted against by two saints of Buddhism. They wanted Zhu Moye to join their religion, but they used all kinds of means.

If it were someone else, they might have really fallen into the trap of this saint, and then converted to Buddhism and become grateful to these two saints.

The thought that such a person almost became him made Zhu Moye feel disgusted for a while. He didn't want such a thing to happen to him. Moreover, looking back now, this matter was just a little bit off. After all, under the circumstances at that time, Zhu Moye had already been calculated. If it weren't for his burst of luck, the consequences would be unimaginable.

In fact, it was because of that incident that Zhu Moye had a feud with the two saints of that time.

Recalling the past events, Zhu Moye's eyes became more and more gloomy. He still clearly remembered the anger he felt at that time because he was plotted against. If he didn't handle it properly, he would die.

You have to know that for someone like Zhu Moye, joining this sect and worshipping other people as gods is truly absurd.

As the Emperor of Man, how could he possibly worship others like gods? Even when facing the sky, he would be on an equal footing!

The two Buddhist saints actually planned to target him, which really made Zhu Moye feel annoyed when he thought about it. However, it was precisely because of this that the hatred between these two Taoists and Zhu Moye had already been formed and it was impossible to resolve it.

"Tang Monk's mission to obtain Buddhist scriptures, huh, affects the revival of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty. This is probably what they have been planning for a long time." Zhu Moye's fingers continued to tap the table rhythmically. At this time, the hall was silent. People outside knew that the emperor was thinking about important matters inside and did not dare to disturb him.

It was under such circumstances that Zhu Moye could slowly close his eyes and meditate. In his mind, he connected all these things together and then slowly thought about what Buddhism really wanted.

Speaking of it, the influence of Buddhism on later generations is really laughable. Those people say that Chinese people have no faith, but they don’t know that it might be better without some faiths.

Are there not many people who have been harmed by faith?

Buddhism had not yet flourished at that time. When Zhu Moye thought of this, he suddenly realized that Buddhism at that time was far from what it would be in later generations. At that time, they could not even fully introduce their teachings into the East.

Otherwise, there would be no journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. At this time, Zhu Moye suddenly had a smile on his face, which proved that he thought of what Buddhism needed most urgently.

Chapter 618: The Dispute between Taoism and Buddhism

Taoism and Buddhism have always been unable to coexist peacefully. No matter where they are, for the sake of the continuation of their own Taoist tradition, it is naturally impossible for the other sect to coexist in a friendly manner. This is not a doctrine of all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness and aesthetics. In this situation, the contradiction between Taoism and Buddhism is even more long-standing. In order to promote its development, Buddhism has plotted against Taoist disciples in various ways more than once.

Thinking of this, Zhu Moye seriously gave a definition of Taoism. Considering the old man who helped him before, he and Taoism would undoubtedly be good allies. In this regard, Zhu Moye would not have any hesitation at this time.

After all, relatively speaking, the conflict between Zhu Moye and the two saints of Buddhism had long been impossible to resolve. In this regard, Zhu Moye undoubtedly had a good awareness at this time. It was precisely because of this that, under such circumstances, Zhu Moye did not have to make any choice at this time, because he knew very well at this time that there was no other choice at all.

Moreover, under the current circumstances, Taoism is indeed a very good ally. At the very least, it can make Zhu Moye feel at ease.

However, these things are not the first thing to consider at this time. Before, Zhu Moye was thinking about what Buddhism needs most now.

At that time, Zhu Moye had already thought of a result. There was no doubt that what Buddhism needed most at this time was believers.

And under this premise, they have to have a devout believer, otherwise how can their doctrine be spread? This is a confusing issue.

Looking at the empty hall in front of him, the faint scent of sandalwood turned into rising smoke, and a smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Moye's mouth. Since he knew that what Buddhism needed most at this time was believers, then what he had to do was very simple.

If Buddhism wants believers, it cannot avoid the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty is the most economically prosperous place in the world today. If it wants believers, there are plenty of them here. If it wants incense, there are plenty of them here.

No matter how hard he tried, Buddhism would not be able to bypass this place. However, the smile on Zhu Moye's lips gradually cooled down. He had never forgotten the scene when the two Buddhist saints plotted against him.

This is just the world of Journey to the West, a drop in the ocean of three thousand worlds, and these two saints actually dared to attack him.

Just thinking about it made Zhu Moye feel extremely angry. If it were any other time, he would have been unable to hold back and took action, but now he was powerless.

Improving strength is already on the agenda, while on the other hand, Zhu Moye is thinking about how to stop Buddhism from developing believers and spreading its teachings.

There is no doubt that under the current circumstances, the more Buddhism develops and grows, the better it will be for those two despicable saints. How could Zhu Moye accept this? He must find a way to destroy what the other party wants to do.

"Believer, devout believer, Tang Monk, this matter cannot wait any longer." Zhu Moye frowned. He had a premonition that he could not wait in vain any longer.

There is no doubt that there is still some time before the Journey to the West officially begins, and at this time, Zhu Moye has decided to look for the monk named Tang Seng.

After Zhu Moye's order was given, there were naturally many people who helped Zhu Moye to keep an eye out for a monk named Tang Monk Tang Xuanzang in Chang'an City. Although there was no other description for him, just these two sentences were enough for his subordinates to put all their efforts into finding Tang Monk even if they had to turn Chang'an City upside down.

That afternoon, Zhu Moye received a piece of information. According to what he said, everyone searched the entire Chang'an City, but they did not find the Tang Monk Tang Xuanzang that Zhu Moye mentioned.

"No?" Zhu Moye was slightly stunned. He had not expected such an unexpected situation. But fortunately, from the beginning, Zhu Moye had instructed them not to make too much noise when searching, so as not to alarm anything.

Even in this situation, facing their situation, Zhu Moye was still very calm, because he had made such mental preparations beforehand.

To be honest, there is one thing here. Zhu Moye is not sure what the name of Tang Monk is at this time. Is he the same as he remembers, and is he called Tang Monk Tang Xuanzang at this time?

If not, then Zhu Moye glanced at the people waiting nervously below the stage and said, "It's okay. Just keep an eye out for this person. If he shows up soon, bring him to me."

"Yes." The other party left, but Zhu Moye was not in a hurry. He was calm at this moment. This game with Buddhism had just begun.

What's more, at this time, Buddhism was in the open, while Zhu Moye was in the dark. From any perspective, Zhu Moye had no need to worry about the other party. Therefore, he was able to be so relaxed at this time.

Because, there is one thing that Zhu Moye understands very well. This is the world of Journey to the West, and according to the current situation of Buddhism, the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi is the most useful chess piece they have laid out, and they will never give it up no matter what.

In this situation, what does Zhu Moye have to worry about? The only thing he has to do is probably to wait for the other party to come to him.

Well, that handsome young man named Tang Monk, but next, he will be the most coveted thing in the world. I wonder what it tastes like. Zhu Moye thought so, feeling a little funny, as his own thoughts seemed a little out of place.

Turning around, Zhu Moye used a red brush to deal with the mountain of memorials in front of him. Now, the only thing he had to do was to wait patiently for Tang Seng to come to him.

Moreover, according to the current time, there should not be many days left.

Now, Zhu Moye just needs to do what he is supposed to do with peace of mind. Well, Zhu Moye touched his chin and set up the intelligence department he had just thought of. This is also a useful aid.

Chapter 619 Where is Tang Monk

For an emperor, doing this is really a trivial matter, but the role it will play later is no less than the help of a good magic weapon.

Time did not wait for long. Zhu Moye focused on dealing with various matters, and at the same time ordered people to continue preparing on how to establish that organization.

Under Zhu Moye's instructions, many people were working hard. According to Zhu Moye's words, they were constantly searching for the monk named Tang Xuanzang in Chang'an City.

Zhu Moye was very busy at this time, and his subordinates were searching in Chang'an City with all their might. Even monks who had just entered the city had to be checked before they could be allowed to pass.

For a while, the monks in Chang'an City were in chaos, everyone was in danger, and they thought that Zhu Moye was going to punish them.

"Your Majesty." Someone was outside, the eunuch announced, and Zhu Moye raised his hand: "Let him in."

"Your Majesty, we have found the monk named Xuanzang, but..." This man was the one Zhu Moye ordered to find Tang Xuanzang. When he walked into the hall, he immediately saluted.

Seeing this, Zhu Moye also put down the memorial in his hand. At this time, Tang Xuanzang's matter made Zhu Moye more concerned: "Did you find it?"

"Him." The man was obviously surprised. Although he should have expected Zhu Moye to pay close attention to this, he did not expect that Zhu Moye would pay attention to this extent. He just heard a piece of news and immediately put down the memorial in his hand. The man immediately knelt on the ground.

"Get up and talk." Zhu Moye was a little impatient. He didn't want to chat with this person here. What he wanted to know was the result. Whether the other party had found Tang Xuanzang was what Zhu Moye cared about most.

As if sensing the displeasure in Zhu Moye's words, the other person trembled with fear, his entire body shaking like a sieve. However, under the current circumstances, this person was not completely foolish. He still knew what the last thing he should do was. Perhaps because his previous behavior had caused Zhu Moye's displeasure, this person was even more cautious at this time: "Your Majesty, I have found a monk named Xuanzang, but his surname is not Tang."

"Not Tang?" Zhu Moye was stunned when he heard this, then puzzled. According to his previous memory, the man should be in Chang'an City. How could he not be found after searching for so many days? What was even more strange was why his men, after finding him, said that he was not Tang Xuanzang.

When thinking of this, Zhu Moye still felt somewhat helpless. He found that this matter seemed a little strange than he had imagined and not so smooth. Could it be that something went wrong in some link in the middle?

Before, Zhu Moye had been busy with other things, so much so that he had forgotten to think about the strangeness of this matter.

However, it was not until this time that Zhu Moye suddenly remembered that no matter what, Xuanzang must have existed, otherwise Jin Chanzi's reincarnation would have been in vain.

Zhu Moye stared at the man kneeling on the ground: "If his surname is not Tang, then what is it?"

"His surname is Chen." The man was so frightened that he immediately put his head to the ground and said respectfully.

"Chen?" A light bulb went off in Zhu Moye's mind, and he finally remembered that at this time, Tang Monk was not yet called Tang Monk. His Tang was the surname given to him by Emperor Taizong of Tang later.

Now, Tang Monk is still chanting in the temple, so he is naturally not called Tang Monk. Thinking of this, Zhu Moye couldn't help but feel a little funny. Why didn't he think of this before, and only realized it at this time. If it were somewhere else, Zhu Moye would not be so troubled at this time, but at this time, he felt a little bit uneasy.

At this time, Emperor Taizong of Tang had already died, and this Tang Monk would no longer be the same Tang Monk.

Zhu Moye silently pondered in his mind how to deal with this Tang Monk. However, before that, he had to confirm one thing first: "Follow him first, pay close attention to his every move, and remember to report to me if anything happens. Go down first."

"Yes." The other party was overjoyed. He had never expected that the emperor would give up the matter so quickly, as he had originally been trembling with fear, thinking that he would be furious. Moreover, it seemed that he had passed the test.

That person was probably the one the emperor was looking for. He happily left the hall and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, Zhu Moye didn't know that the man was already filled with gratification. If he knew, he would probably feel both amused and helpless. Could it be that he looked like King Zhou of Shang, who would tear out people's tendons and bones and burn them with fire at any time?
