Bab 273: Terms (Part 2)

Wang Chongyang was a sneaky bastard.

He promoted the unification of the three religions and fused the core ideology of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism into one, which was flexible and malleable enough to fit into the political framework. It was exactly as what He He had been told in the "primary ten true precepts": be loyal, be filial, obey your lord and your parents.

No ruler of any era or dynasty would reject such an ideology. Hence, after a period of suppressing religions, the country was making Quanzhen the orthodoxy again, offering the sect a high degree of freedom at the same time.

Zhengyi received no such favor. Even their Celestial Master was appointed by the government.
