Inside a black bulletproof car.
Murong Qingxue drove the car while Wang Yu and Zhao Ziyan sat in the back.
This car was different from ordinary cars. Rather than calling it a car, it was more like a small living room.
There were seats in the shape of a circle and a professional wine cabinet in the car.
Wang Yu sat on the seat, enjoying the softness brought by the leather cushion and the perfect ergonomical relaxation of the seat. He could not help but sigh at the corruption of the rich again.
Such a life was too exciting!
Wang Yu sighed and turned his eyes slightly to look at the elegant and charming beauty sitting in front of him with her hands on her knees.
"How much do you know about the president of the parliament?" he asked.”
Zhao Ziyan brushed her hair with her jade-like hand and smiled elegantly."The president of the National Conference, Liu Daoming, is from the Liu family of Jiangnan. He is 53 years old this year. For politicians, this age was the peak of their career. He was an important figure in the Eagle Party and also a popular figure in the next general election.”
"Eagle Clan, what is this?"
Wang Yu asked in puzzlement.
"The Eagle Faction is a division within the Imperial Court. It refers to some of the more radical factions of government officials.
They were disdainful of Taizu's policy of restoring Han clothes and traditions, as well as the policy of the Renaissance. They believed that the policies of the Empire should change with the times and not follow the old rules.
These officials believed that no matter what religion it was, as long as it served the government, they could support it and understand it.
At the same time, they believed that the Empire should abandon conservative traditional ideas and learn some advanced ideas from the West in a comprehensive manner. They should carry out comprehensive military, economic, political, and other reforms.
The Great Commander belonged to the traditional party and believed that they should stick to the governing ideology left behind by the Great Ancestor and be wary of the Holy See's infiltration into the Empire.
Apart from the traditional parties and the Eagle Party, there were also the Liberal Party.
The situation of the Liberal Party was more complicated. Some of them supported the traditional party's idea of governing the country, some supported the Eagle Party's idea of governing the country, and some thought that both parties were too extreme.”
Wang Yu was deep in thought.
This was normal.
An empire, especially a huge empire.
No matter what its original intention was, with the passage of time, power and wealth would slowly corrode this solid whole, causing it to split apart!
Since ancient times, no country could escape such a fate!
A hundred years was not considered young even for an empire.
"Is Liu Daoming on good terms with the Church?" Wang Yu asked.”
"Liu Daoming has publicly declared several times that he is a staunch believer of the Church and that he goes to the Cathedral of Light to worship every year. He had a very good relationship with the Cardinal of the Cathedral of Light. The Eagle Gang was able to develop so quickly because of the support of the Holy See.”
When Zhao Ziyan said this, her bright eyes became a little more excited.
"If you're worried that the Holy See will make trouble during this sermon, you don't have to worry," she said in a low voice.”
Wang Yu's interest was piqued when he heard this.
He sized up Zhao Ziyan's peerless face with interest and said,"Oh, why are you so sure?”
"Zi Yan is not certain. She only has some guesses.
In Zi Yan's opinion, there were two reasons why the Church would not make a move this time.
Firstly, the Holy See had a very limited understanding of Taoism. If they attacked rashly, they wouldn't be able to deal a fatal blow and completely destroy Taoism. Instead, they would lose the best opportunity to attack and leave people to talk about it.
Secondly, although Taoism had disappeared for hundreds of years, since the establishment of the empire, Taoist ruins had been excavated several times. Most of the ordinary citizens were full of good feelings and sympathy for Taoism. They wanted to understand this ancient religion that had disappeared for hundreds of years.
The Holy See occupied half of the Empire's religious world, but they were, after all, foreign religions.
If the Holy See were to make things difficult for the Taoist priest during this sermon, it would only leave the impression of being harsh and unforgiving to the ordinary people. It would make people sympathize with the Taoist priest's suffering, and the people's hearts would be more inclined to Taoism.
Therefore, in Zi Yan's opinion, although the Church had come with ill intentions, they would not directly make things difficult for him during this sermon. Their goal should be to understand Taoism, find its weakness, and deal a fatal blow.
Therefore, the Taoist priest couldn't be careless. He had to be careful of what they did next.”
Wang Yu sized up Zhao Ziyan in surprise.
"Did you come up with all this yourself?”
"I'm sorry to make a fool of myself," Zhao Ziyan said with a smile.”
Wang Yu looked at Zhao Ziyan with a strange gaze and praised,"Impressive."

Imperial Capital Stadium, private room.
The location of the private room was very good. Through a huge one-way glass, one could peep at the entire stadium. From the outside, there was no way to see what was going on in the private room.
Bishop Mu and his two followers sat on the sofa by the window, leisurely waiting for the sermon to begin.
The two attendants stood beside him but did not sit down.
"Lord Bishop, Buddhism and Daoism have a deep enmity. Why haven't they done anything?”A follower asked in confusion.
"Because they know that we definitely won't sit by and watch Taoism grow stronger." Bishop Mu narrowed his eyes and sighed.”
The attendant was stunned.
This?
"Even though the Church has thousands of benefits, it is still a foreign religion. Our global influence is too great, especially in the western world. It's not a good thing for this country.
Even though Buddhism had made thousands of mistakes, it had taken root in the East for nearly two thousand years and was inseparable from this civilization.
This was a civilized society, and religious disputes had to be done with methods and bottom lines. It was impossible to start a religious war like in the past.
Even if the Chinese government wanted to support Taoism, it would not cause a destructive blow to Buddhism, because the government would not allow Taoism to dominate. For Buddhism, the worst outcome would be the co-existence of Buddhism and Taoism.”
The expressions of the two attendants changed drastically.
Buddhism and Daoism coexisted, so what about the Church?
They suddenly understood why Buddhism and Taoism had a greater grudge against each other, but when Taoism reappeared, Buddhism did not make any moves, while the Holy See had already rushed over impatiently.
