frankly, even Sanbao thinks his prince's attitude is a little aggressive.

but after the old monk became angry at first, he seemed to lose his temper. At this time, he was still very talkative. He said, "your Highness is orthodox. Buddhism only wants a way to live and does not ask for participation in secular power. I hope your Highness will forgive me."

Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

he has no affection for religion, but it does not prevent him from using all the power at his disposal to consolidate his rule.

what's more, Zhao Xuanji has not been eradicated, and the kings are still watching covetously. His control of the Qin Empire is far from the point where he can rest easy. If the Buddhist power is well used, it is a wonderful soldier.

No matter how bad it is, you can't personally push these monks into the arms of the enemy.

"this is not the place to talk."

Li Chen turned to Sanbao and said, "arrange a secluded place."

Sanbao bows down to take orders.

for Sanbao, finding a quiet and suitable place to talk is not even a thing.

it was just a cup of tea, so Sanbao came to ask Li Chen to move.

sure enough, Sanbao knew Li Chen and found a restaurant. There was no one in the restaurant at this time. Obviously, all of them were cleared, and a box with the best view was vacated. Li Chen came up and could directly overlook the street view of the capital.

the old monk naturally followed suit.

on the balcony of the balcony on the third floor of the restaurant, Li Chen sat opposite the old monk, with a pot of incense and a pot of tea on a coffee table in the middle.

although it is arranged in a hurry, the carefulness and care of Sanbao can be seen everywhere.

"Master, drink tea."

Li Chen picks up the teacup to invite each other, and his attitude is different from that of the previous aggressive. at the moment, Li Chen is elegant and generous, making people feel like a spring breeze.

the old monk also bowed his head slightly to Li Chen, then picked up the teacup and took a sip.

after drinking tea separately, Li Chen pointed out the topic directly.

"under the ancestral system of the Qin Dynasty, monks and Taoists are free to develop, and they are not encouraged or obstructed. Taoist temples in any temple must be controlled by local officials, monks go out, Taoist monks open altars, and good men and women contribute money to donate, build temples, and invest in law meetings, all of which should be supervised, examined and approved by the local government."

"all disciples of Buddhism and Taoism who have converted have to be sealed by the local government for preservation. If they need to go out to meet, hold Dharma meetings, communicate across temples, and so on, they all need to submit their faces to the officials, and then they can enter the city, temple and temple with Dharma in hand."

Li Chen is talking about the laws on religion that have been made since the founding of the Qin Empire, which have not been changed for more than 360 years.

its content is simple, but its effect is extremely powerful.

openly allowed Buddhism and Taoism to develop believers, but withdrew and restricted all religious activities, leaving the final decision in the hands of the government.

it is this law that has kept Buddhism and Taoism from flourishing in the Qin Empire for more than 360 years.

but Taoism is better than Buddhism. After all, the Qin Empire emphasized Taoism and suppressed Buddhism, but even so, Taoism did not do whatever it wanted. Every generation of Longhushan Heavenly Master must be canonized by the imperial court, otherwise it would be illegal.

although after more than three hundred years, there have been many loopholes in law enforcement and inadequate enforcement in many places, but on the whole, the Qin Empire had far more control over religion than any previous dynasty.
