Zhang Hongren is only over 20 years old now, and his talent has been shown since childhood, which has been highly recognized by all the relatives of the Tianshi Mansion. This time, Zhang Tianshi came to Beijing to bring him in order to make him familiar with all the great officials and nobles, so that he can inherit the Talisman Sword in the future and successfully take over the Tianshi Seal.

As a thousand-year-old family, Tianshi Mansion has enough background to provide Zhang Hongren with the best metaphysical education. Whether it is divination, horoscope, geodessica, or even medical skills and boxing, Zhang Hongren has some knowledge. Because of his sufficient resources, he can take many detours than others, so he is very capable of consciously making some tricks.

In order to face the possible questions raised by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Zhang Hongren worked hard on moral classics before the audience, hoping to be the first-class figure of the great master.

"Do you know the human heart?"

When Zhang Hongren heard the prince ask such a question, his head swelled up instantly, and his heart turned thousands of times, and he thought to himself: Could it be that the prince’s prince is going to play the game “Seven Secrets of Conquering Hearts” when he comes up? That’s what monks play!

"Do you understand these things that a person has birth, old age, sickness and death, and thus possessiveness and vanity?" Zhu Cixuan said it more clearly.

When Zhang Hongren heard this, he felt relieved. Although the relationship between heart and desire and the method of handling it, the Quanzhen Taoist priest was more authoritative, it was not that Zhengyi had no relevant content. Zhang Hongren immediately recited the discussions of the ancestors in large sections, fluent and smooth.

"Your voice is pretty good." Zhu Cilang nodded.

——Is the sound good?

Zhang Hongren was stunned.

"But these nonsense have no meaning to me." Zhu Cixuan said in a gentle tone: "I don't want to listen to you, but to see you do it."

"What should your highness do the path?" Zhang Hongren asked with hope.

"Go to preach." Zhu Cilang made it simple and clear: "It's that simple to make the people believe what you say."

Zhang Hongren was stunned again.

Whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, it has always been a missionary in a strong manner. Even if you visit the Lord, you are still for the money of incense and oil. In a nutshell, there are many people in Taoism and Buddhism who practice good deeds, but they do not have much intention of saving the world and helping the people.

"And your doctrines need to be changed. Don't scare people with hell or something." Zhu Cilang said: "I remember that Taoism has a burden, so you can take it out and talk about it carefully."

After Emperor Jiajing, most emperors of the Emperor Ming prefer Taoism. Chongzhen also went to the altar in person to pay homage to the ancestors and heavenly masters. Although many concubines believed in Buddhism, the orthodox royal family still favored Taoism. Therefore, when Zhu Cilang was young, he read many Taoist writings in Dawen, and had a little understanding of Taoist theories.

Of course, it is impossible for a pragmatist like Zhu Cixuan to be devoted to the way of tranquility. He is just looking for ideological weapons that can be used in the vast Taoist hiding.

The Taiping Jing, written in the Eastern Han Dynasty, said: "The inheritor is the front, and the back is the back; the inheritor is the one who inherits the heart of heaven and acts, and he loses it in a small way, but he does not know it. He spends a long time, and gathers together for many times. In the future, people are innocent and exiled to the wrongs and suffer disasters, so the front is the inheritor and the back is the back. If you bear it, the disaster will not be governed by one person, which is more unfair than the continuation of the front and back, so it is called "the burden". If you bear it, the ancestor is the burden of the future generation."

Simply put, God calculates rewards and punishments for the good and evil accumulated by individuals and their families.

"The Buddhist theory of reincarnation and rebirth in the Pure Land is corrupt to the hearts of the people, so many countries that worship Buddha in the world are destroyed." Zhu Cilang said: "The theory of the way of heaven can encourage people to be good. Even if they have to suffer some hardships, their children and grandchildren can enjoy the best, and this idea is much higher."

The Taiping Sutra is an important classic of the Taoist Taoism of the Heavenly Master. Of course, Zhang Hongren is only more familiar than Zhu Cilang, and his views have been profound. From the original hearts of Taoists, he does not believe in the monks' reincarnation theory, but foolish men and women believe in that. If you don't talk about reincarnation, people will think you are a liar. Who else can you tell me about helplessness?

"Your Highness, fools always feel that there is no hope in this life, so they rely on the next life. How can I save this lazy heart?" Zhang Hongren asked involuntarily, completely forgetting that His Royal Highness's profession is the emperor's reserve, not a Taoist priest.

Fortunately, Zhu Cixuan has great achievements in the field of human resources, and immediately replied with an inspiring mindset: "Who says there is no hope in this life? People will suffer from three disasters and four disasters, right? As long as they go to your palace to confess and repent, they will inevitably have blessings in the current world! For example, if you are sick, you will give them medicine. If your family is suffering from disasters, you will give them money. If you don't make any profit, you will help them. Isn't this a blessing in the current world?"

"Your Highness..." Zhang Hongren was speechless for a moment and said in his heart: These items are all silver! I only heard that monks eat ten directions, so how could they offer sacrifices to lay Buddhists in the home?

"I know you regard the Taoist temple as a family business, but whether it is the first-class Tianshi who has been around for generations or the money that matters, think clearly." Zhu Cilang's face gradually became cold: "The widespread believers is the significance of your Zhang family to the court. If you lose the roots and lose the believers, what is the use of the court supporting you? I will naturally say this to the monk today. Whoever wins the hearts of the people in the future will convert to his own religion and the court will support him. You must think clearly about all these."

Zhang Hongren had shallow experience and was pushed by Zhu Cilang. His mood was ups and downs, and he was completely convinced by the prince. Once Taoism declined, the most direct victim was the Tianshi Mansion. Of course, he could not watch the prince believe in Buddhism. Zhang Hongren hurriedly said, "I understand the little way, then go back and explain clearly to my father, and all the way to restore the ancestor Tianshi."

Zhu Cilang nodded: "I know your Zhang family's concerns. You can also tell Zhang Tianshi and say that I said: As long as you preach the way of loyalty and filial piety to believers, you can live up to the emperor's grace for three hundred years, you can reset the Fangzhi and appoint Taoist officials, as long as you strictly abide by the laws of the court."

Establishing Fangzhi, appointing sacrificial priests, and even engraving households and people, these were all things that Zhang Daoling had done, and once controlled the land of Bashu. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, bewitching the people with gods and ghosts and imposing Fangzhi rule has become a common method used by the thieves. In order to prevent problems from happening, the court naturally refused to let the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Tianshi Mansion do what their ancestors did.

The reason why Zhu Cilang dares to say such words is that he sees farther than most people in this era.

He knew very well that religion could not lose its vitality before humans control their own life and death. Instead of slapping the Orthodox Church in a cage because of choking, it would be better to let them go out to fight the cult. Not only did they hold the divine power in their own hands, it would also have an immeasurable supplementary effect on intelligence and stability of rule.
