In the midsummer of 180 A.D., at noon one day, a doll's cry came from the courtyard of a rich and noble family. The curtain of the room where the crying sound came was lifted, and a rural woman held a small bag and smiled at the middle-aged uncle who was standing in the garden with an expectant face: "Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master, the lady has added a boy for you!" ”

When the uncle heard this, tears immediately came out: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, my Zhang family finally has a queen!" ”

At this time, the other people in the garden congratulated the uncle one after another. "Congratulations to the eldest brother for getting your son!" The fat white man on the right of the uncle, who looked like a rich man, said with a smile.

The black man on the uncle's left also had tears in his eyes, and interjected: "Big brother, you see, the sky is really eyed, and the Zhang family finally has a queen, which is the blessing that is usually accumulated." It's a sign from heaven! ”

The young man in white behind the uncle also congratulated: "Congratulations to the master!" ”

The younger black man next to him touched the back of his head and asked puzzledly, "Is there only such a small one?" ”

The young man in white immediately touched him with his arm: "Kuroko must not be rude. ”

The uncle first shook his head for a moment, then turned to the two young men and said, "It's okay, it's okay." For the teacher to explain your affairs before, let's go and get busy first. It's all important things, and you can't be sloppy! ”

The young man in white replied respectfully: "Obey the master's orders!" ”

Dragged the sunspot and walked to the front yard. As she walked, Kuroko gestured with her hand to the size of the baby and said, "Are you born so young?" So how big have I been? I haven't seen him look like yet! ”

The young man in white reprimanded: "It's still muddy! Get down to business first, and come back and see. ”

Kuroko replied and followed the young man in white out of the courtyard.

At this time, the uncle asked the woman holding the child, "Can you let me see it?" ”

The woman hurriedly and carefully sent the small bag in her hand to the uncle's arms. The uncle took the small bag, looked at the little man who was in a ball, looked at his sleeping little face, and was full of warmth. While asking with concern, "How is Madame's health?" ”

"Madame's health is fine, but she is tired and asleep."

"It's okay, it's okay."

The black man said, "Big brother, let's give our nephew a name!" ”

"Let's call it Zhang Ping."

"Calm down ......" The white fat middle-aged man said halfway, as if he realized that something was wrong, and did not continue.

"All men are equal, right to the teachings, good name!" The black man said.

"Well, everybody is equal. Xiao Zhang Ping, do you like such a country? The uncle looked at the villain in his arms with a kind face, and his eyes were full of determination.

This family is the gravedigger of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the leader of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Zhang Jiao's family. The uncle is the eldest Zhang Jiao, the white and fat middle-aged is the second Zhang Bao, and the black man is the third Zhang Liang. The young man in white who had just left was Zhang Jiao's eldest disciple Zhang Sheng, and Heizi was Zhang Jiao's disciple, so he was called Zhang Heizi, ranking third. Zhang Heizi originally had no name, but since he studied under Zhang Jiao, he has followed the master's surname. Because he ranks third among the disciples in the room, he is called Zhang San. But the brothers like to call him Heizi, and when outsiders hear it, they think he is really called Heizi, so they all call him Zhang Heizi.

Originally, the Julu Zhang family was a big local family, and several generations of people had been officials in the court. But in 166 AD, Zhang Jiao's father was implicated by the party, not only lost his office, but was also killed by a traitor and died in prison. The cause of the party's calamity was that the relatives and friends of the eunuchs knew that they were going to give amnesty to the world, so they let their sons kill people who did not like it. After Li Ying received the amnesty, he still gave the criminals justice. Of course the eunuch didn't agree, this is obviously a slap in the face! So he told Emperor Ling: "Your old man has been beaten in the face. "Emperor Ling's fire hat is three zhang, and he wants to lock Li Ying up without asking about it. The Shiren Group disagrees! Emperor Ling felt even more slapped in the face, so he simply let the eunuchs go up. The eunuchs were already in the same boat as the scholar group, so they were implicated. The enemy of the Zhang family was a relative of a certain eunuch, so he instigated the eunuch to take the Zhang family away, not only killed Zhang's father, but also put the three Zhang Jiao brothers who were still young and ignorant at that time into prison, saying that they were resentful, slandered the court, and added prison to the original punishment of prohibiting officials. The three brothers were tortured in prison in various ways, including the unspeakable punishment of men, causing Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang to lose their ability to have children, and Zhang Jiao was also caused to have fertility disorders. Fortunately, when Zhang Jiao was 41 years old, he finally welcomed his child, Zhang Ping. It's no wonder that a forty-year-old man is still crying in front of people. The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, sometimes he is happy, so he also plays. Because there's a post!

At the end of the first party disaster, because the scholars who sympathized with the party members wrote to express their feelings, Emperor Ling exempted the party members from torture. The three brothers had a better time in prison. But the former master has become a prisoner, and ordinary people may not be able to adapt to it, not to mention the three brothers of Gongzi and Zhang Jiao? Zhang Jiao is just stupid every day, either looking at the straw under his feet, or looking at the dim light at the end of the aisle, his eyes are empty; Zhang Bao simply gave up on himself and slept with his head down, and he didn't eat much; Zhang Liang scolded and cursed, constantly cursing the heavens and the earth, and looked like an angry youth.

The three brothers were in prison like this, and they stayed up for another half a year, and in June 167 AD, Li Ying, the protagonist of the party, and others deliberately confessed to the eunuch's children in prison. Of course, Emperor Ling was as good as a stream, so the Zhang brothers finally returned home.

As soon as the brothers entered the house, they noticed something unusual, and the whole house was filled with sadness. When the housekeeper saw his family leading the three young masters into the door, he was overjoyed at first, but he immediately made a bitter face and said to Zhang Jiao: "The villain should die!" Damn the villain! ”

"Zhang Fu, what is the matter first?" Zhang Jiao asked.

It turned out that Mrs. Zhang became ill after knowing that her son died in prison, and passed away at the end of last year. After the eldest lady was locked up, she washed her face with tears all day long, and after a while, she fell ill and cried blindly, and never got better. The family has always relied on the second lady to run it.

With the help of the servants, the brothers roughly washed their faces, straightened their messy hair, changed into clean clothes, and rushed to the courtyard of the eldest lady as soon as possible.

Zhang Jiao pushed the door and cried: "Mother, the unfilial son Zhang Jiao is back!" ”

Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang also said: "Auntie, Zhang Bao (Zhang Liang) is back!" ”

The family hugged their heads and cried. In the middle of the night, they each cried with their mothers (wives) in their own courtyards. What else can the brothers do but cry? What will be done? How will you live in the future? Without a future, can this family survive? And what about the continuation of the lights?

In the later days, Zhang Jiao also learned to sigh all day long. The young man, who is only 28 years old, has already begun to grow gray hair. What about Zhang Bao? I know how to eat, drink and be merry all day long, and I completely give up on myself. Zhang Liang had a lot of ideas, gathered a group of hooligans and ruffians, and began to play a game of grabbing landlords. It's not playing poker, it's grabbing land to be the king and doing the underworld.

At the beginning of 168, Mrs. Zhang also passed away at the end of last year, and Zhang Jiao was even more desperate at this time. So one day, he thought of becoming a monk (Taoism). On this day, he wrote a letter of resignation, went to ask the second lady for his guilt, and finally explained the future to his two younger brothers, and then took the burden and planned to find the fairy fate.

It was a coincidence that before Zhang Jiao left the gate with his hind feet, an old Taoist priest came to visit. Lao Dao called himself an old immortal in South China, claimed that he had a relationship with Zhang Jiao, and passed on Zhang Jiao's copy of "Taiping Qing Lingdao", hoping that Zhang Jiao could understand the spirit of Taoism and come out of the shadows to reinvigorate. As soon as such a thing happened, Zhang Jiao's marriage was not divorced.

When Zhang Jiao first read this book, he felt that a new world had opened up for him. This book teaches people to be good, accumulate good virtues, and obtain good results. Zhang Jiao wants to do a lot of good deeds, and he can get the favor of God and revitalize the Zhang family. Since then, Zhang Jiao has slowly transformed from a rich young master to a good person. Not only did he do good deeds himself, but he also asked his two younger brothers to join him and encouraged those he had helped to do good deeds together. Slowly, Master Zhang's reputation spread in Julu. Even people from other places come to seek medical advice and guidance.

In 169 A.D., the Second Plague of the Party broke out. This time, the three brothers did not participate or be implicated, but the memories of the past grief were opened, causing deep pain and hatred in the hearts of the brothers. The pain of losing their relatives and the absurdity and injustice of the court filled the hearts of the three brothers. Gradually, this anger developed into a shocking idea - to overthrow the rule of the Han Dynasty! Eliminate corrupt officials, corrupt officials, and traitorous ministers, and return the world to a bright future!

For this idea, the brothers began to plan, to create a religion and do good deeds to win people's hearts, and then lead the vast number of poor people to turn over and become masters. The ideal is very plump, realistic, let's talk about it slowly.

At this time, it was a coincidence that God created an opportunity for them to buy people's hearts - the drought in Jizhou. The elites of the imperial court are concentrating on fighting to the death around the party, how can they have the leisure to care about the life and death of the mud legs? This just gave the revolutionaries a chance, the court was unkind, Zhang Tianshi was very handout, and Xintianshi got millet (the staple food at that time didn't seem to be rice, the author said that this story was entertainment, just look at it, don't take it seriously). Xintianshi, there is food to eat. And many of the people believed. Zhang Sheng, Zhang Yan, Zhang Heizi and other disciples who entered the room began to follow Zhang Jiao at that time, and they were originally orphans who could not eat enough and were separated from their families or abandoned (the latter was more common in those days).

With believers, of course, you can establish your own denomination. Thus was born the Taiping religion.
