The matter of reorganizing academic affairs is very important, because this change in personnel is related to the balance of internal forces.

Nowadays, the forces within the Taiping Sect are basically divided into three parts.

One is the Zhang brother faction headed by Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang, and others.

The other is the Liu Jing faction headed by Tang Zhou and headed by Chu Yan and Cheng Yuanzhi.

The last one is the Zhang Chun faction headed by Zhang Chun's agent, also known as the miscellaneous faction or the third force.

Nowadays, although the Taiping Sect has a large number of followers and a great momentum, its internal management is also somewhat chaotic, and there are no government decrees, loose management, many factions, and uneven people's hearts, and so on, and the weaknesses among these grassroots peasants are becoming more and more clearly apparent.

The purpose of Liu Jing's convening here today is to manage discipline within the religion and rectify religious affairs.

Zhang Jiao sat on the chair and didn't speak, he listened to Liu Jing's words unintentionally, and his thoughts in his heart were also chaotic.

Because in the past six months or so, as the nominal head of the sect, he has given orders to the subordinates, and the satisfaction he brings is no longer the feeling of being the owner of the village in the Montenegrin Army.

From hundreds of people under his control, to thousands, to tens of thousands, and finally to hundreds of thousands, everywhere Zhang Jiao went, the overwhelming cries and worship were enough to make people forget to return and indulge in it.

Now let him come here again, listen to Liu Jing's teachings, listen to Liu Jing's instructions, his heart is extraordinarily not a taste, this is the human heart, this is the change caused by time, people are in an environment for a long time is a state of mind, if you jump to another higher environment for a period of time, it is another state of mind.

Liu Jing saw Zhang Jiao's uncertain look, so he interrupted the explanation and asked Zhang Jiao with concern: "What's the matter, Brother Zhang Xian, I see that you are not willing to give up, haven't you encountered any difficulties?" ”

Zhang Jiao heard Liu Jing ask himself, just like a mother asking about her child, the rebellious psychology in his heart immediately rose, he said casually in front of his face: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that the teaching affairs have been busy recently, there are too many things, I can't take care of it for a while, and I'm just a little upset!" ”

When Liu Jing heard Zhang Jiao's words, he didn't pay much attention to it, so he continued: "I think that at present, the various state forces of the Taiping Sect are divided according to the states and counties, and they become a force of their own every week.

Among them, the Taiping Sect has the smallest distribution and influence in Youzhou, because it has been opposed and hindered by Liu Yan, the Taishou of Youzhou, and its development has been very slow, so it is regarded as the smallest branch.

Let's divide the eight King Kongs, let them each be responsible for the forces of a state and county, go into battle separately, personally rectify the teaching affairs, and strictly enforce discipline, we have to be like an army, cohesive, organized, and disciplined, and we must ensure that the government decrees are unimpeded, and the top and bottom work together to be flexible and free! ”

He Gui is a fine person, he hasn't seen Zhang Jiao for some days, and today he saw that Zhang Jiao's attitude was a little abnormal and negative, and he had some suspicions in his heart, but he couldn't say it clearly.

So He Gui smiled and said to Liu Jing: "Rectifying the teaching affairs is a big deal, we have to think about it in the long run, now that Liu Gong has pointed out the general direction, we can first send a few people down to explore the situation, and then according to the results of the investigation, we will conduct a specific analysis, and then prescribe the right medicine to be effective!" ”

Liu Jing nodded when he heard this, and agreed: "What Elder He said is very true, the affairs of the county have been a little trivial recently, and I haven't put too much energy on teaching affairs, but I have suffered from Zhang Xiandi's control and hard work.

Let's do it, Brother Zhang Xian, Tang Zhou, you organize some people together, go to the local research and research, feel the situation, let's see where the weakness is, focus on governance, there is not much time left for us, we have to do big things, now is a critical period! ”

Zhang Jiao heard He Gui ease the atmosphere, and the thoughts in his heart also quickly turned back, he slowly stood up, and said to Liu Jing and angrily: "Okay, let's get here first for today's matter, and make further arrangements after the investigation is completed!" ”

When Liu Jing heard Zhang Jiao's words and speak coldly, he wondered in his heart, thinking that Zhang Jiao's tone and performance today were a little abnormal, what was wrong? He couldn't guess yet.

So Liu Jing also half-pushed and said: "Okay, you go back first, and discuss the specific matters with Tang Zhou!" ”

Zhang Jiao sang a good song, then turned around, stepped on his foot, and walked away quickly.

Liu Jing stood there quietly, looking at Zhang Jiao's departing figure, he suddenly had a strange feeling, he felt that Zhang Jiao in front of him seemed to have changed as a person, both familiar and unfamiliar, this feeling made Liu Jing suddenly a little flustered in his heart, he didn't know why, but faintly felt as if something big was going to happen.

Tang Zhou was also aware of the subtlety of this atmosphere, and when he saw Zhang Jiao's departing figure disappearing, he whispered: "Liu Gong, I don't know if my feeling is right, I always feel that this corner seems to be changing recently, as if it has changed its character.

Whenever I communicate with him, I always feel a little rusty. The original attentive and amiable Zhang Jiao seemed to have disappeared,"

Liu Jing just frowned and listened, he didn't say anything, because what Tang Zhou said, he had already felt it, this discovery was not a good phenomenon, he had to find a way to deal with it.

He Gui also nodded after hearing this, he walked up to Liu Jing and analyzed: "Liu Gong, I think this corner may have a different heart, his subordinates are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they can't afford to give him any troublesome ideas, this is not a good sign, we can't be more careful!" ”

Liu Jing turned his face, looked at He Gui, thought for a while, and said seriously: "Are you saying that Zhang Bao and they have other ideas?" ”

He Gui nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Liu Jing's statement.

Liu Jing sat back in his chair with a heavy face, and he looked out of the door with solemn eyes through the hall.

Wisps of spring breeze blow from time to time, blowing the branches and leaves of the ancient pine trees and swaying constantly, emitting a rustling sound, giving people a feeling of not being quiet.

Zhang Jiao's state today is indeed a bit abnormal, because his heart is struggling fiercely, and the reason why his heart is struggling so much is because of the persuasion of Zhang Bao and Zhang Mancheng a few days ago.

Zhang Bao and Zhang Mancheng did not persuade Zhang Jiao for anything else, but precisely for Liu Jing. Their persuasion didn't matter, and it almost frightened Zhang Jiao.

Because they persuaded Zhang Jiao to kill Liu Jing, to be a real leader of the Taiping Sect, to completely get rid of Liu Jing's control, and to establish himself as the king.

To say that in ordinary days, Zhang Bao and they don't dare to take this risk easily, the reason why they dare to do this is because they were encouraged by Zhang Chun's father and son.

And the agitation of Zhang Chun's father and son did not come out of thin air, they were also instigated by one person to have this decision, and the person who instigated Zhang Chun's father and son was none other than Na Jian Shuo.
