Chapter 120: Zhang Jiaotuo's Aftermath

"You obviously already know that Zhang is just a humble gentleman, and he has sought to be a man many times but has not been able to do so. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoIn order to make a living, he had to go up to the mountains to collect medicine and work as a healer to make a living. Zhang Jiao didn't directly explain his intentions, but just introduced himself.

"Then I met the Nanhua immortals, got the "Taiping Qing Collar Book" or "Taiping Heavenly Book" and then converted to Taoism and founded the Taiping Dao?" Li Yu looked at Zhang Jiao, of course, these words may not be without the meaning of pretending to be X.

"Hahaha, where did this myth come from?" Zhang Jiao laughed, and Lin Ming next to him also showed an embarrassed expression.

Actually, it's just that I met the contemporary Zhuangzi by chance and got its inheritance. The Taiping Qing Lingshu is a Taoist book of the Zhuangzi series, but it does exist. Uncle Yu Ji even established the Lang Evil Palace to teach Zhuangzi Taoism! Zhang Jiao said slowly, but it seems that he is indeed a teacher of Nanhua.

The so-called Nanhua immortals are actually Zhuang Zhou, who posthumously named Zhuangzi as Nanhua Zhenren during the reign of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and called "Zhuangzi" as "Nanhua Zhenjing", and then repeatedly posthumously sealed after Huizong of the Song Dynasty, making Zhuangzi an important originator of Taoism.

"Taiping Qing Lingshu", also known as "Taiping Jing", is a Taoist classic compiled by Yu Ji according to "Zhuangzi", or together with several fellow disciples. It has made Taoism from an academic faction to one of the important Taoist texts of a religious faction.

Like Momen, each generation of Zhuangzi has an heir, also known as Juzi, and Zhang Jiao's master is a contemporary Juzi. And Yu Ji is the uncle and an important figure in the Zhuangzi department.

To put it simply, Zhang Jiao is the contemporary Juzi selected by the previous generation of Juzi, but it is a pity that this Juzi succeeded him. Originally, Zhang Jiao only planned to carry forward the Taiping Sect, but who knew that he was used by the family and the royal family and became their pawn.

Perhaps both sides saw Zhang Jiao's ambition and unwillingness, so they expanded this ambition infinitely, so that now the arrow is on the string and has to be sent! In other words, in this case, it is no longer possible to stop when Zhang Jiao says stop!

Well, it turned out to be a big oolong, no wonder Lin Ming showed an embarrassed expression. Not to mention him, now Li Yu feels that his cheeks are a little hot.

It seems that he is still poisoned by later commentaries and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and he doesn't even know the difference between Nanhua Zhenren and Zhuangzi, and really thinks that there was really a Nanhua immortal in the Three Kingdoms era. But I don't want "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to appear at the junction of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, at this time Zhuangzi has been named Nanhua Zhenren, so when Lao Luo was writing the book, it is common sense to call him Nanhua Immortal instead of Zhuangzi.

It is also said that although the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism, the inheritance of the Zongheng family, Taoism, Legalism, Bingjia and Mohist, and even the medical family and the Zhuangzi faction was not completely severed. They are also looking for ways to continue their heritage, or find ways to improve it to meet the needs of the new era, and it is not surprising that the Zhuangzi family has left a successor.

In an instant, Li Yu's brain was constantly thinking and analyzing, and only then did he smooth out the context of the matter. Of course, I also flipped through the information a little during the period, but all this seemed to outsiders, but Li Yu was stunned for a few seconds.

"So, what are you going to do?" Li Yu raised his head, it doesn't matter how Zhang Jiao got the inheritance, the key is what Zhang Jiao has planned, this is the most critical thing at present.

"It's very simple, Zhang plans to unite with the autonomous region!" Zhang Jiao said calmly.

"It can't be!" Li Yu and Lin Ming replied almost at the same time, and then couldn't help but look at each other, as if they didn't expect the other party to answer so decisively.

"Zhang actually didn't mean to let you share the risk of this operation. This is a mutually beneficial thing, of course, it doesn't matter if you don't cooperate, and there is no harm to you. Just the two of you might as well listen to what the benefits are! Zhang Jiao seemed to have realized this result, but he was not in a hurry, but he just slowly induced.

"Say it!" Li Yu thought about it, and then said slowly.

"Taiping has a large number of followers in the Central Plains, especially in Runan and Jizhou. Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and even Jingzhou all have some believers. Conservative estimates, at least no less than three million! In addition, if there is a real incident, under the instigation and coercion, it will sweep through several states and bring nearly 10 million people to a scale that will not be a problem......" Zhang Jiao slowly introduced the situation of the Taiping Sect to the two.

In fact, this is true, if it weren't for the haste of the incident so that some follow-up things were not arranged, I am afraid that at that time, Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou Yellow Turbans, and even Zhao Ci of Jiangxia would raise troops at the same time, and then it would really be able to incite nearly 10 million people, maybe Liu Hong and both sides of the family may not be able to please.

Originally, the Taiping Sect was just a game of chess, so first of all, it must be just a game of chess, not a beast that devours people! This is also the reason why Tang Zhou whistleblower, this whistleblower made the Yellow Turban Uprising, which originally swept several states, into only Runan and Jizhou to raise troops, and the final number is afraid that the number is less than one million.

In addition, the chief officer was not in place, the armament and grain and grass were not in place, not to mention the uprising before the spring ploughing, so that there was a lack of food after the autumn, and it was gradually broken by each and finally failed.

Zhang Jiao had obviously planned everything, but he didn't seem to realize that Tang Zhou would betray him at all. So much so that all plans fell through...... Slowly, if you change your perspective and tell him about Tang Zhou's betrayal now, let him prepare as soon as possible, and even prepare to rebel at the beginning of 184, what will happen to the situation?

Will the Taiping uprising be more comprehensive, more prepared, and more focused? Even if he was told to let him divide one side as a prince, would the Han be able to successfully crusade? I have to say, this one is indeed tempting!

It seems that faintly, there is a hand pushing Li Yu to try to do this. It's just that he can't be sure what will happen if history is completely out of its original trajectory. The key is that if you let the actual person and Liu Hong know, he is the driving force behind this matter, but I don't know what to think!

Wait a minute! If Zhang Jiao really divides one side at that time, or even splits the soil and becomes a prince of one side, or even establishes a new regime, will he become the No. 1 natural enemy of the Han Dynasty? When the time comes, will Dahan focus his attention on Zhang Jiao, or on himself? At most, let himself go to the crusade, but there are only 10,000 soldiers in the autonomous region, and Li Yu has 10,000 reasons not to fight, even if he does, it can be 'mutual victory and defeat' and 'regret' or something.

Once this idea comes up, sometimes it's a little overwhelming.

Li Yu's face was cloudy, sometimes showing an ecstatic expression, sometimes showing a depressed expression, all of which was naturally seen in the eyes of Zhang Jiao and Lin Ming. In the eyes of the two, Li Yu is currently struggling, whether to participate or refuse.

"So, what are Sect Leader Zhang's plans?" Lin Ming had to figure out Zhang Jiao's intentions before Li Yu made a decision.

"Actually, it's very simple, you can don't do anything first, and wait until Zhang's climate has become a good thing before acting. If Zhang succeeds, then we will divide the river and rule, and you may not be able to establish a new Chu State or Yue State; If Zhang fails, he wants to entrust some of the things behind him to you, at the cost of nearly a million people, a large number of doctors, and all the property of the Taiping Sect! Zhang Jiao hesitated, but still explained his true intention.

In fact, it is said that it is to incite Li Yu to rebel, but it is better to say that it will be entrusted to each other in the future. The rebel must be prepared to have his whole family killed, and it is better not to rebel without this, otherwise it will be just a joke.

It's just that no one really wants their people to be killed, but if it's somewhere else, I'm afraid that Zhang Jiao won't be able to entrust his family to anyone. The legacy of the Taiping Sect, the family of the head of the rebels, these are all for everyone to take their conscience and feed it to the dogs.

Zhang Jiao only has two choices, either he really gambles his entire wealth on rebellion, or he sends his family abroad, or even overseas. Only in this way can the safety of the family be guaranteed. However, after the existence of the autonomous region, he keenly discovered that Li Yu actually had ambitions in a certain sense, although this ambition had not yet swelled to the extreme, it would definitely be completely released one day in the future.

Momen takes the route of being close to the people, and it is definitely not the same road as the family. Zhang Jiao felt that perhaps he could consider this place as his family's final destination. Moreover, it is difficult to find a place to live in seclusion in these 100,000 mountains.

This is the real purpose of his southward journey this time, and the people of Momen obviously know this purpose, so they let him in. This also shows that there are actually factions within the Momen, Lin Ming may have inherited the identity of the inheritor is still too short, and the elders above still have people who belong to them, and there is no way to be fully integrated by him.

"What do you think, junior brother?" Lin Ming looked at Li Yu, although this result was a little surprising to him, it was not unexpected. It's just that this proposal has pros and cons, but the pros outweigh the disadvantages, if Li Yu agrees, it may not be impossible!

"Do you want to keep their faith?" Li Yu asked rhetorically, as long as these people who came over still retained the belief in the Taiping Sect, then it was very likely that they would become a hidden danger for him one day.

Most of the so-called revolutionaries, especially those who took the red road, were atheists and materialists, and even if China followed the line of religious freedom, they still put religion under the jurisdiction of the government and did not allow them to really come out.

"Can't you keep your faith?" Zhang Jiao's expression was a little painful, you must know that leaving his family means leaving the Daotong, he is the great son of this generation in the end, and it is also one of his obligations to keep the Daotong for Zhuangzi.

"Private soldiers are not allowed, armed men are not allowed, others cannot be forced to become religious, and it is not permissible to threaten or induce others to become religious. Sects should lead people to goodness or self-cultivation, not incite others to rebel.

In order to do this, religion can exist, and it must be subject to government supervision and management. If you promise, then you can keep it, if you don't agree, then I'm sorry, the cooperation failed! Li Yu replied.

"Yes!" Zhang Jiao breathed a sigh of relief.

"In addition, there is something I want to discuss with Sect Leader Zhang! This may be related to the success or failure of your religion! Li Yu smiled, revealing a demonic smile, as if he was inducing others to fall.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Zhang Jiao was stunned for a moment, and then felt that it was okay to listen to it. As for Lin Ming, he didn't know what Li Yu was going to say, so he was silent, purely as an observer.

"Actually......" Li Yu smiled and spoke slowly.
