Yankang ten years, the end of the year

The envoys of many states in the poisonous land rushed to Luoyang angrily, and it was menacing, and the foreign servants shot Deng Zhi to greet them in person, although most of these are small countries, except for Guishan, and even most of them are the vassal states of Guishan, but after all, the Han is a state of etiquette, and they still have to receive them with a high standard, Deng Zhi asked them to arrange them at the post station.

Deng Zhi had a special translator under his command, and the next day, he took the translator to visit these envoys.

When Deng Zhi walked into the post station, these people looked excited and said something loudly, Deng Zhi ignored it, and after saluting with them, they sat down, Deng Zhi asked with a smile: "You arrived in such a hurry, I don't know what it was for?" Many small countries have looked at Guishan, this time, they came to ask for guilt, but they don't have the courage, they can only hope that Guishan can come out.

The Guishan envoys, in fact, were also panicked, after all, the Han had already taught them a lesson, but this time, they were indeed the party that took advantage of the reason, the Guishan envoy got up, and said with some excitement, and when he finished speaking, the translator on the side said: "This time, I came to ask the Han to ask for an explanation, the Han invited a lot of floating statues, and there are some enlightened wise men, come to the Han..."

"But in Liangzhou, they suffered a brutal murder, the Liangzhou nobleman Zhong Changtong of the Han Dynasty killed these wise men very cruelly, destroyed the Futu Xiang, attacked the innocent for no reason, defiled the gods, and hoped that the Han could tell why?"

After the translator finished speaking, he looked at Deng Zhi.

Deng Zhi's eyes widened and asked, "Is there such a thing??" That's not right, the shepherd of Liangzhou in the Han Dynasty is called Mao Jue, how can it be Zhong Changtong? ”

The translator hurriedly carried out the translation.

The envoy of Guishan said angrily: "Anyway, the people we sent out did die in Liangzhou, and there were no survivors, in addition, these people were all asked by you, saying that they wanted to set up a temple, but as a result, we just sent people and died tragically in Liangzhou, what is this?" As for whether the murderer is Zhong Changtong or Mao Jue, this requires Dahan to give us an explanation. ”

Deng Zhi listened to the translator's words, stood up, and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, we will definitely investigate this situation... Give me three days, within three days, I will definitely investigate clearly, I hope you don't want to blame, just rest here...", Deng Zhi comforted these people, and then left the post station, just walked out of the post station, Deng Zhi smiled bitterly.

If the Guishan people said that others killed Fang Shi indiscriminately or something, Deng Zhi would definitely not believe it, but if it was Zhong Changtong, he believed it, Zhong Changtong's reputation was not small, and the Di Bao Mansion often mentioned this person, this person was very courageous, and he did not hesitate to do things, and governed Zhangye, and within a few years, it made Zhangye's cultivated land, household registration, and all aspects have been greatly developed, and it has become the richest county in Liangzhou.

The problem is that this person has an extreme hatred of Fangshi, of course, among scholars and doctors, there are not many people who hate Fangshi, and they feel that these Fangshi will bewitch the Son of Heaven, but smashing the temple, even the temple of the champion Hou can be demolished, in the Han Dynasty, there is only this Zhong Changtong, and what is even more infuriating is that this person completely ignores the etiquette and the ancestral system, and repeatedly plays to the Son of Heaven, in a vain attempt to change the national policy of vainly vainly vainly changing the national policy of vainly vainly vain.

In the Han Dynasty, most people think that this person is a crazy person, and there are a few people who think that this person is a genius.

Deng Zhi has always been reluctant to comment too much on others, for Zhong Changtong, he does not have his own opinions, people have their own ambitions, maybe they just can't understand him, but this time, he did make a big deal, Xuzhou, there are not many people who believe in Futu, since the White Horse Temple, within the Han Dynasty, there are more and more people who believe in Futu, and in Xuzhou, there is a strong man, called Zhenrong.

On the one hand, he bribed the local officials, assassinated the history, and even personally wrote an article on Emperor Yizong Xiaoxian, with the mouth of Futu, praising Emperor Yizong Xiaoxian, saying that his merits, Emperor Xiaoxian was overjoyed, and gave a reward, with these, the local officials did not dare to govern him anymore, and he took advantage of the strong power of his family to promote Futu Sect in Xuzhou.

More than a dozen temples were built, more than 5,000 monks were recruited, crazy money, coaxed the people, insulted women, forced six or seven people to death, seized arable land, and made many poor people starve to death on the grounds of building temples.

Such a person who does no evil, should be punished by heaven and earth, but coaxed a lot of people, and even got a so-called Futu birthday in Xuzhou, called the bath Futu Society, at this conference, he was able to collect hundreds of millions of dollars at one time, hurting the heavens and reason, therefore, Xuzhou's Futu belief spread very strongly, of course, Zhenrong is now gone.

His life is not good, in a bath at the Futu meeting, a young man asked him in public to ask him about the Futu knowledge, but deliberately humiliated him, when he was in a hurry, this young man cut Zhenrong into several sections in public, and died in pain, this matter shook the whole Xuzhou, and the public assassination, no, it was the young man who directly cut Zhenrong, called Zhong Changtong.

At that time, Zhong Changtong was only eighteen years old.

After killing Zhenrong, this person smashed most of the temples in Xuzhou, even the temples worshiped by the Son of Heaven were also smashed, fled all the way, where he fled, he smashed the ghost temple there, killed the wandering warlock there, Emperor Xiaoxian sent a lot of capable ministers, repeatedly pursued, and after a year, successfully captured this person.

However, Zhuge Liang and others who caught him cherished his talent and were unwilling to kill him, so they recommended him to Emperor Xiaoxian, and in the end, he became the doorman of today's son and finally served as an official.

It's a pity that the temples in Xuzhou can be destroyed by Zhong Changtong, but the temples in the hearts of the people are not so easy to smash.

The notoriety of Zhong Changtong is still spreading in many states and counties north of the Central Plains, and the people are evil.

Deng Zhi hurriedly went to the palace and entered the Houde Palace.

When he walked to the Houde Palace, the Son of Heaven was arguing with Guo Jia about something, and it could be seen that both of them were a little excited, and when Deng Zhi walked in, the two suddenly stopped arguing again, the Son of Heaven frowned, waved his hand, and let Deng Zhi sit in front of him, and then asked: "Deng Jun, but ask clearly, why did so many envoys suddenly come?" ”

"Your Majesty, I asked clearly, according to what they said, the envoys and statues they sent for the Xuzhou Yufutu Society were all intercepted by Zhong Changtong..."

"Alas!" , Liu Xi said a little helplessly: "Then order Zhong Changtong and let him go!" ”

"Your Majesty... Zhong Jun has already killed all of them. ”

"What?? Killed?! Liu Xi jumped up violently, his face was red, and he shouted: "He is so bold, he killed them all??" According to the Han law, you have to ask the temple to kill people, has he asked? With the power in his hands, he began to kill indiscriminately? What evil did those people do? ”

Deng Zhi lowered his head and said: "I have never done evil, they are all some famous wise men in Guishuang, who have been enlightening all their lives, saving people, and letting them come, I checked their people... But Zhong Jun directly gave the sand on the grounds that they were bewitching the people...", hearing Deng Zhi's words, Liu Xi was even more speechless, gritted his teeth, sat on the seat, and covered his forehead.

Guo Jia thought for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be so excited about this matter, there are too many temples, it is indeed going to occupy farmland, in addition, the monks do not produce, I think Guishuang is so weak, there must be a reason for this, although Zhong Changtong is doing things a little too radically, but it is nothing, anyway, I agree." ”

"What about Guishuang?"

"If you don't recognize it, it's okay, but since people died in Liangzhou, it seems a little inappropriate not to recognize it...", Guo Jia said, looking at Deng Zhi on the side, Deng Zhi suddenly said: "Your Majesty, then you can only find a death row prisoner to resist Zhongjun's affairs... Let's just say that Zhong Jun didn't know, and then find a death row prisoner to atone for the crime, saying that the people under Zhong Jun's command were greedy for merit, so they killed him, and it was okay. ”

Liu Xi nodded and said, "Okay, you can only act like this, and this matter will be handed over to Deng Jun to deal with." ”

Deng Zhi nodded, and then said goodbye to the Son of Heaven.

When he left, Liu Xi and Guo Jia continued the previous quarrel, "Guo Jun, I trust you to let you teach the emperor's eldest son, what an honor it is, why don't you want to?" Are you looking down on my son? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister also has a hard time, this is a teacher, it must be stricter, but the prince came to the minister before, saying that if the minister dares to fight, or scold the emperor's eldest son, he will come to the minister to debate, what can the minister do, if His Majesty can protect the minister, the minister can teach...", Guo Jia said, Liu Xi gradually, and he couldn't speak.

"Hmph, Grandpa Ci has many defeats... You say, who can not be afraid of the emperor and can teach the emperor's eldest son well? ”

"You can be the eldest son of the emperor, and you are not afraid of the intimidation of the emperor, but there are a few in the temple...", Guo Jia thought about it seriously, and then said: "First of all, you can let the full favor teach, the full favor will never be afraid of the national abbot... He acted justly and read a lot, enough to be a prince's teacher. ”

"Full of favors?" , Liu Xi thought in his heart, this person's talent and morality are very good, but unfortunately, he is too fair, there is no city government, if he comes to teach the emperor's eldest son, he is afraid of teaching a too fair, upright emperor's eldest son, such a character is very good in the minister, but if it is in the future son of heaven, it is not very good.

"Anything else?"

"Zhang Fei from the middle stage, he can too."

Liu Xi shook his head and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Cui Yan."

"Oh? Cui Yan, who is too learned? ”

"That's right, this person has a clean family background, although his words are dull, but he has great wisdom, not to mention, he likes fencing, advocating martial arts, and once studied with military science as a sacrificial wine, first worshiped the great Confucian Zheng Xuan as a teacher, and then ruled the ram, addicted to this way, this person can be described as a gentleman in the world, his friend died early, he took his friend's child over, as his own child to raise, upright, not a little injustice in his eyes...."

"This person is now the leader of the Ram Confucianism after Yuan Zi."
