0049: Eloquence
In a forest outside Julu County, Zhang Jiao and Li Yi sat on the stump casually drinking wine, while Lu Bu and Yan Liang tacitly retreated to the distance to help guard it, only Xiaobai lazily lay at Li Yi's feet and yawned.
"I didn't expect that Zunjia also had a dabbling in Huang Laozhi's learning, which really embarrassed Jiao......" Zhang Jiao looked at Li Yi and said respectfully, his tone full of admiration.
"The great sage and good teacher have a good reputation, no matter how much you learn, after all, you still have to see what kind of achievements you can do, although the great sage and good teacher are from a poor family, but now the Taiping Road is all over the world, for the people to see a doctor, preach and teach, none of which can be compared with righteousness......" Li Yi replied with a chuckle.
Li Yi and Zhang Jiao can be said to have a very happy conversation on the surface, but his heart is extremely entangled at this time. The reason is also very simple, it was mentioned before that Li Yi had the idea of reporting the Taiping Dao to the imperial court, and finally gave up after seeing the huge scale of the Taiping Dao.
But now, Zhang Jiao didn't know why he came over, which made the idea that he had already given up resurfaced in Li Yi's heart. Because he knew that he only needed a halberd to cut it down, and he didn't even need to do it, he only needed to pat Xiaobai's head, and Zhang Jiao would definitely die!
And without Zhang Jiao, will the Yellow Turban Rebellion break out? Well, Li Yi doesn't know either. After all, without Zhang Jiao, there are still Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, but he believes that without Zhang Jiao, the soul figure, even if the Yellow Turban Rebellion will break out, the impact will definitely not be as great as in history.
So, Li Yi was entangled, kill! Or not kill? Killing Zhang Jiao, the benefits are obvious, you have to know how many people died in the entire Han Dynasty in the Yellow Turban Rebellion? Not to mention the hundreds of people who were displaced by the Yellow Turban Rebellion, I am afraid that there are hundreds of thousands of people killed in the battle of the officers and soldiers on both sides of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
But if Zhang Jiao is killed, will there be chaos in the future? If he didn't show up, wouldn't his dream of competing with the Three Kingdoms to dominate the world be in vain? And most importantly, even if Zhang Jiao is killed, will the Han Dynasty really be saved?
"Honorable, looking at your expression, it seems that there is something bothering you?" Zhang Jiao's words temporarily pulled Li Yi out of the entanglement.
"Don't hide it from the great sages and good teachers, Yi traveled the world this time, and what he heard and saw made Yi feel deeply, so he has been thinking about whether to choose to serve the court after the end of his travels." When Li Yi heard this, he immediately thought of an explanation.
"Oh? With the talent of respect, if you are willing to go out, it is definitely a blessing in the world, why should you hesitate? Zhang Jiao didn't doubt it when he heard this, but just asked in surprise. But before Li Yi could speak, Zhang Jiao said again, "Isn't Zun Jia worried about the changes in the imperial court before?" ”
Hearing this, Li Yi smiled bitterly, "I do have concerns about this, but it is more because the ancestors have a legacy, and the descendants are not allowed to serve the imperial court." Although ......" Li Yi shook his head, obviously not wanting to continue. At the same time, there was a hint of strangeness in Li Yi's heart, because he didn't quite understand why Zhang Jiao mentioned those things.
The change that Zhang Jiao said was naturally the previous struggle between the scholars and the eunuch group. It is true that this matter is known to the world, and even when Li Yi was in Jiuyuan, he discussed this matter with Guo Hong and them. But it sounded normal, but here, hearing it from Zhang Jiao's mouth, Li Yi inexplicably felt that something was wrong.
However, Li Yi covered it up very well, Zhang Jiao didn't see it, but said with a sigh, "Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been difficult to achieve, and it is also appropriate to have concerns about respecting the driver." ”
After saying that, Zhang Jiao stopped mentioning this matter, and instead talked about Huang Lao's learning with Li Yi.
Huang Laozhixue is the largest branch of Taoism in addition to Laozi and Zhuangzi, believing that the monarch should rule by inaction, reduce harsh government and taxes, and be fair and selfless. This doctrine had a huge influence in the early Western Han Dynasty, from not only Xiao He, Cao Shen and others believed in Huang Lao's thought, but even Liu Bang also took Huang Lao's study as a national policy.
Although in the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because of the rapid development of local forces due to the study of Huang Lao, it seriously threatened the central rule of the Western Han Dynasty, and was eventually replaced by Confucianism. But even so, there are people such as Zhang Daoling who inherit Huang Lao's learning and carry it forward.
However, strictly speaking, Li Yi only knows some about Huang Laozhi's learning, after all, he doesn't even want to read too much of the I Ching, let alone this knowledge. But Zhang Jiao didn't seem to care about this, just kept talking to Li Yi about Huang Lao's thoughts.
"Is he trying to convert me into a believer?" Li Yi suddenly had such a strange thought, because apart from this, he really couldn't understand why Zhang Jiao suddenly came over to drink with him. Although there should be a long time before Zhang Jiao raises troops at this time, as the founder of Taiping Dao, Li Yi never thought that Zhang Jiao would be so idle.
However, seeing Zhang Jiao's gushing appearance, Li Yi was embarrassed to interrupt him, so he could only let him keep talking. In the end, Li Yi didn't know how he sent Zhang Jiao away.
"Nima! This is simply the master of chicken soup in this era! When Zhang Jiao disappeared from his eyes, Li Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the stump of the tree and muttered.
"Master, what do you and the Great Sage and Master say? How long did you say it? Lu Bu complained helplessly, and along with his complaints, there were also stomachs that he and Yan Liang had begun to rebel in.
"Don't mention it, drink! Eat meat! Li Yi sighed, he didn't even want to think about it now, otherwise Zhang Jiao's broken thoughts like Tang Seng would appear in his mind again. For the first time, Li Yi felt that it was not a good thing to have a good memory.
At night, the residence of Zhang Jiao in Julu City.
"Big brother, what did Li Yi say? Are you willing to become a believer in the way of peace? A man in his early 30s asked quietly, he was Zhang Jiao's second brother Zhang Bao.
Hearing this, Zhang Jiao shook his head, "Impossible, although Li Yi knows a thing or two about Huang Laozhi's learning, but in general, he is no different from other landlords and heroes." ”
"Alas! That's a shame! I heard that Li Yi is not only both civil and military, but also a first-class filial son. If such people can become believers in the Taiping Dao, it will undoubtedly be more beneficial to the development of the Taiping Dao. A sigh sounded, but it was Zhang Jiao's third brother Zhang Liang.
"Hehe, third brother, when the three of us brothers founded Taiping Dao, we never thought that those landlord families would help us. But today, isn't Taiping Road still getting stronger and stronger? Zhang Jiao chuckled when he heard this, "As long as the imperial court continues to be so incompetent, sooner or later one day will ......" In the end, Zhang Jiao's laughter became more and more gloomy.
