"Great sage and good teacher, Your Majesty's conditions have all been told to you. It's up to you to decide where you go from here. ”

After listening to Zhang Heng's words, Zhang Jiao said with a wry smile: "What else can I do, of course, I will listen to His Majesty's orders." ”

"Big brother, you have to think about it." After listening to Zhang Jiao's words, Zhang Bao said a little reluctantly: "If you really agree to Your Majesty's conditions, our brothers will ......."

"Brother, don't talk about it, Your Majesty can leave us a way to live, it's already kindness." Zhang Jiao waved his hand to interrupt Zhang Bao's words, and then said to Zhang Heng: "Sect Leader Zhang's great kindness, our brother is unforgettable, and we will have a report later." ”

"I don't dare to report it later, I just passed on the grape, it's not a big deal." Saying that, Zhang Heng didn't stay any longer, and arched his hand at Brother Zhang Jiao, and said, "Since the great sage and good teacher have agreed to His Majesty's request, Xiaodao will go to reply to His Majesty." See you later! ”

"Big brother, why did you interrupt me just now?" Seeing Zhang Heng walking away, Zhang Bao complained: "Your Majesty's conditions are really too harsh, we should fight for it." ”

"Brother, what are we going to fight for?" Zhang Jiao said helplessly: "With Your Majesty's current prestige, it will be easy to destroy our brothers. Fortunately, Zhang Heng reconciled from it, so the court left a way for our brothers to live. Otherwise, our brothers will definitely not be able to pass this hurdle! ”

"Big brother, you are too bad for our own prestige." Regarding Zhang Jiao's words, Zhang Bao was obviously not convinced, "Our Taiping Dao sect members, to say the least, have hundreds of thousands, all over the five states. With such a big force, I don't believe that the little emperor has no scruples at all! ”

"Brother, what do you say the little emperor needs to be afraid of?" looked at the indignant Zhang Bao. Zhang Jiao said helplessly: "Brother, do you think that my brother is willing to agree to such conditions?" Isn't it no way! Don't look at our congregation, it looks like there are a lot of them, but I dare to pack tickets, don't say that we pulled them to rebel, even if we want to confront the imperial court, we are sure that no one will follow us. ”

"Big brother, you're talking too much, aren't you?"

"Well, not at all!" Zhang Jiao explained to Zhang Bao: "Now that the court has won the hearts of the people, it is not as simple as winning one or two battles. It was completely a series of policies to benefit the people, and it forcibly gathered the people's hearts. You talk about it. This tax-free land, free medical care, free education, support for widows and the disabled, and subsidies for childbirth. Which one is not a big win over the hearts of the people. In today's people's homes, there are a few who do not set up immortal tablets for the little emperor. You say there is such an emperor. Who will follow us to rebel against the court? ”

"Big brother. Let's really forget it. ”

"Alas, don't forget it, what else can you do."

……

Brother Zhang Jiao was discussing here, and Liu Hong also received news from Zhang Heng.

"Made, they actually agreed?!"

Looking at the report, Liu Hong was a little incredible. Originally, he thought that Zhang Jiao was a brother. I'm sure I'll be stubborn to the end. For this reason, he prepared a lot of condoms, just waiting for the two brothers to take the bait. But unexpectedly, the two brothers directly reined in the precipice.

"Forget it. Since they know each other, they are cheaper. ”

Although Liu Hong was a little unwilling to let go of Brother Zhang Jiao like this. But as an emperor, he is not easy to talk about. Besides, with the cooperation of the Zhang Jiao brothers, this religious reform will definitely go a lot smoother, and it can be regarded as a gain.

Thinking of this, Liu Hong smiled. Speaking of which, this horned brother really didn't cause him any harm. And the reason why he always wanted to kill them, in addition to the memory of his previous life, was nothing more than that he had killed Zhang Liang.

But now that they think about it, Zhang Liang's death, Zhang Jiao and they couldn't have dreamed that it had anything to do with him. And Zhang Jiao is absolutely impossible to reach the power of another time and space. So he didn't have to treat them as enemies, or even kill them. Besides, the conditions he set in order to let Zhang Jiao take the bait were quite harsh. Now that he has agreed, he will not be able to do harm in the future. In this way, it is not a big deal to leave them alive.

"By the way, I spared Zhang Jiao and they didn't care, but Tian Feng is there, how can I explain it?" Thinking of this, Liu Hong sighed, "Tamad, this is really a wrong step, a wrong step." ”

"Forget it, let's call Tian Feng first and talk to him." After making up his mind, Liu Hong sent someone to call Tian Feng.

After Tian Feng beat the Dengwen drum, he waited for the imperial court to summon Zhang Jiao to the court. But there was no news from him waiting left, and there was no news from his right. In the end, after he sued the emperor, the emperor did not summon Zhang Jiao, but sent a wide invitation, inviting all sects and prominent religious figures to Beijing to discuss the matter of religious reform.

At this moment, Tian Feng was directly confused. All along, he felt that he was a smart person. But he, a smart man, didn't understand whether he was alive or dead, and the emperor let Zhang Jiao not arrest him, and what was going on with this religious reform. If it is said that the emperor has discovered the hidden dangers of religion and wants to treat both the symptoms and the root causes, he should also take Zhang Jiao first. If it weren't for such a big fanfare, it would have completely startled the snake.

Tian Feng is in a hurry now, he knows Zhang Jiao's power. Once the court startled the snake and made Zhang Jiao prepared, it was not easy for the court to clean him up. And in this way, his hard work will be completely in vain.

Just when Tian Feng was in a hurry, the emperor summoned him again. He hurried to the palace and wanted to ask Liu Hong why he did this.

When Liu Hong saw Tian Feng's eagerness, he knew what he was thinking. Liu Hong didn't speak, and directly sent the evidence of Zhang Jiao that he had collected before to Tian Feng.

When Tian Feng took these things and looked at them, he was even more puzzled. This large stack is full of evidence of Zhang Jiao's lawlessness, and judging from the date, the imperial court has long noticed him. But he couldn't understand why the imperial court let Zhang Jiao toss there and didn't care about him, isn't this purely raising tigers.

"Tian Feng, you have also seen it, the imperial court has long noticed Zhang Jiao. However, there are a lot of families involved, and I wanted to wait for them all to show their heads, and then I would catch them all. Speaking of this, Liu Hong glanced at Tian Feng. said: "But as soon as you beat the drum, all those families shrank their heads. ”

"Ahh When Liu Hong said this, Tian Feng was directly dumbfounded, "Your Majesty, so to speak, is it the minister who disrupted the deployment of the imperial court?" ”

"It's disrupted." Liu Hong nodded, and then said: "But it's no wonder to you, after all, you are also kind." ”

Liu Hong's words can hit Tian Feng badly. He thought that he would beat the drum and sue the emperor. It is to eliminate harm for the people and do a great deed. Unexpectedly, he was completely unhelpful.

Tian Feng was ashamed, and asked tremblingly: "Your Majesty, is there any way to remedy the matter?" ”

"Those bad guys. It's definitely not going to come out of it. But don't feel guilty, just a bunch of clowns. I won't take them to heart. ”

"Your Majesty. I ......"

"Let's not talk about that." Liu Hong waved his hand to interrupt Tian Feng's words, "I came to you today because I had other things to discuss with you. ”

"Your Majesty, if there is anything, you just have to command."

"You've beaten the drum, and everyone knows about it. So this thing. There has to be an end. Speaking of this, Liu Hong spread his hands, "But something happened unexpectedly, and I must let the two brothers Zhang Jiao live." Therefore. I've brought you here to discuss how to end this matter. ”

"Your Majesty, what needs to be done, you just have to tell me. Ministers, do as they all. ”

"Okay, Tian Qing is really a loyal minister." Liu Hong is very satisfied with Tian Feng's attitude.

"Your Majesty! You are so ashamed to say that. ”

"Don't be ashamed, I'm telling the truth." Liu Hong came to Tian Feng's face, patted him on the shoulder and said: "You found out that Zhang Jiao was lawless, regardless of his strong power, you entered Beijing to knock on the drum and sue the emperor, so that the imperial court could take precautions as soon as possible, this is completely a manifestation of loyalty and bravery." Therefore, I must commend you and let people know that the court will never treat those who have a heart for the court. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister disrupted the deployment of the imperial court, and let the imperial court's years of hard work be ruined and not punished, and the minister is grateful. If the minister accepts the commendation of the imperial court, how will the minister behave in the future! ”

"One yard to one yard." Looking at Tian Feng, who was ashamed, Liu Hong said with relief: "Although you disrupted the plan of the imperial court, it was an unintentional mistake, and I don't blame you at all." And your heart is to the court, this is a great achievement. Merit is not rewarded, this is not my style. Therefore, I will not only recognize you, but also reward you heavily. ”

Liu Hong's words moved Tian Feng badly, and he fell to the ground directly, "Your Majesty, when you say that, it really makes the minister embarrassed." ”

"Don't be ashamed, you deserve it." Liu Hong picked up Tian Feng and said: "The commendation of the imperial court can only be carried out until the matter is over." But my reward, don't be so troublesome. ”

"Your Majesty,......"

"Tian Qing, you don't have to speak first, after you listen to my reward, you can choose to accept it or not." Liu Hong smiled and said, "My reward is to let Tian Qing come to my side and be my secretary." Look at this reward, do you want to accept it?! ”

Tian Feng thought that Liu Hong would give him some material rewards. Therefore, he wanted to tell Liu Hong to just take those things to the Charity Association. He has inherited this reputation, but he has no face to accept things, so use it to help those in need. But I didn't expect Liu Hong to let him be a secretary. And this reward, he is really reluctant to give up.

Liu Hong is quite clear about this. After all, if he became his secretary, he would directly become a close minister of the Son of Heaven. Such a thing, in this ancient era where the emperor was respected, the scholars of the world, no, as long as they were individuals, could not withstand this temptation. So this Tian Feng can't be an exception.

And when Liu Hong saw Tian Feng's excited appearance, he was even more sure. Seeing that his goal was achieved, Liu Hong's mood was quite happy. Therefore, he directly teased him, the future subordinate, "How about it, this reward of mine is still in line with Tian Qing's wishes, right?" ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......" Tian Feng's face was flushed now, and he didn't know what to say.

"Okay, I'll talk about it later, now you should hurry up and go to Jia Xu to report. If it's late, people will get off work. ”

"Yes, yes." Tian Feng gave Liu Hongshen a salute, and hurriedly went to Jia Xu. (To be continued......)
