Chapter 241 The Arrogant Taiping Road

Liu Xin nodded, sure enough, it is still unrealistic to call his name or something, but if he calls the table word, it can be regarded as being able to shorten the distance between himself and Lai Ying'er. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

So Liu Xin said with a smile: "In this case, you can call me Liu Ziqi in the future, or call me Ziqi directly." ”

Liu Xin's words happened to come from Lai Ying'er's mind, so Lai Ying'er also took the opportunity to say: "Child, then how should our marriage be arranged?" ”

Although Lai Yinger believes that Liu Xin will never live up to herself, and she is willing to hand over everything to Liu Xin, every girl attaches great importance to her marriage, and Lai Yinger also hopes that Liu Xin can set a preliminary plan and time arrangement, which can also make Lai Yinger feel more at ease and have more hope for life.

In fact, as far as the current situation is concerned, Liu Xin and Lai Ying'er have neither parents nor elders, nor do they have any matchmakers as intermediaries, so there is no parental order, the words of the matchmaker, as for the birth date or something, with Liu Xin, the "immortal master", present, what kind of Taoist priest can interfere.

So in general, Liu Xin has the absolute right to speak about his marriage with Lai Ying'er, and Liu Xin knows that since Ying'er's character, he will not interfere too much in this, so Liu Xin also began to think about how to arrange his marriage with Lai Ying'er.

After Liu Xin pondered for a moment, he put forward a preliminary opinion, "Come to Ying'er, my current thoughts on the marriage between the two of us are like this, I plan to hold the wedding of the two of us when I return to Chengdu, Yizhou." ”

"Now we are already a family, so I will tell you the truth, I came to Luoyang this time, one is to implement my royal identity, and the other is to fight for the identity of Yizhou Mu or Yizhou Assassin from Your Majesty, so I will not stay in Luoyang for a long time, and I will definitely return to Yizhou Chengdu when the time comes, and it is also my only home in Dahan, so I want to marry you there, what do you think?"

Lai Ying'er nodded, and said with a smile: "Everything is subject to your orders, I don't have any opinions, after all, I don't have any nostalgia for Luoyang, and I heard that although Yizhou is located in the southwest of the Han Dynasty, the terrain is complex, and the Shu Road is difficult, but Chengdu is a treasure land, not only the scenery is beautiful, but also the folk customs are simple, which is very suitable for settlement." ”

Liu Xin also nodded, and said seriously: "That's true, if I want to rank the states of Dahan, Yizhou is definitely the first, because in addition to the waterways are not very developed, and the road traffic with the outside world is not convenient enough, Yizhou is one of the best in the Han Dynasty in other aspects, and the plain near Chengdu City can produce a large amount of grain, which can fully meet the food needs of the Yizhou area; Although the folk customs of Yizhou are simple, but the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is also good, coupled with the local Nanban tribes, a large number of soldiers can be recruited in a short period of time, with the help of the complex terrain of Yizhou to resist foreign enemies, but unfortunately Yizhou does not produce war horses, so it is impossible to develop elite cavalry troops, so the offensive ability is insufficient, which is also the weak point of Yizhou's military; And now Yizhou, except for those uncontrolled Nanban tribes, the political situation is still stable and orderly, unlike other regions where there is no rebellion, and although the number of families in Yizhou is relatively large, the overall strength is relatively limited, which is good news for me to serve as Yizhou Assassin or Yizhou Mu, at least there will not be too much resistance; As for the scenery of Yizhou, it is really good, there are lofty mountains everywhere, as well as white snow-capped mountains, and I can also bring Ying'er to walk around when the time comes. ”

Liu Xin's appreciation of Yizhou made Lai Ying'er look forward to Yizhou even more, but Lai Ying'er keenly felt that Liu Xin's attention to the military and political situation in Yizhou was far greater than that of Yizhou's agriculture and scenery.

However, Ying'er didn't think much about it, after all, Liu Xin already planned to become the leader of Yizhou, and the military and political power was very important to Liu Xin.

Of course, Liu Xin also realized that he had said too much, and now is not the time for a full-scale showdown with Ying'er, after all, if he says this now, Liu Xin is preparing to rebel in the eyes of Lai Ying'er, and when the time comes, Liu Xin will say this again, and Lai Ying'er will feel that Liu Xin is supporting the Han Chamber.

So for the sake of his reputation and image, Liu Xin decided not to tell Lai Ying'er about his plans for the future.

However, in order to reassure Lai Ying'er, Liu Xin also expressed his confidence in completing Lai Ying'er's entrustment and his determination to eradicate Taiping Dao, so he decided to tell Lai Ying'er the news of the Yellow Turban Uprising.

Liu Xin looked at Lai Ying'er and said seriously: "Come to Ying'er, don't worry, although we will leave Luoyang for Yizhou soon, away from the sphere of influence of Taiping Dao, but I have prepared a plan to eradicate Taiping Dao, within three years, Taiping Dao will be uprooted, and those Taiping Dao believers will also pay the due price." ”

"Come to Ying'er, you also know that today's Taiping Dao is huge, although it is rooted in Jizhou, but Taiping Dao has already branched out, and the entire Han states already have Taiping Dao believers and strongholds, especially in several nearby states including Jizhou, it is the main sphere of influence of Taiping Dao forces, in some counties, Taiping Dao's voice is greater than that of the government, so you should also understand Ying'er, what does this mean?"

Lai Ying'er nodded, this matter can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, Taiping Dao has affected the authority of the Han royal family, and it can even be said to be provoking the royal power of the Han Dynasty, because Taiping Dao is developing the so-called faith on the surface, but in fact it is buying the hearts of the people, and for the ruling class as the Han Dynasty, buying the hearts of the people is shaking the foundation of the Han Dynasty, in other words, it is trying to rebel!

However, Ying'er asked with some doubts: "I understand what you mean, Taiping Dao has become stronger and stronger now, and the prestige of the leader of Taiping Dao, Zhang Jiao, that is, the so-called great sage and good teacher, has even surpassed His Majesty today, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him with a hundred responses, and as far as I know, Taiping Dao's methods of acting are becoming more and more arrogant, and they have begun to affect all kinds of local affairs on the surface, interfering with the operation of the local government, in other words, meddling in political affairs, This is not what a religious force like Taiping Dao should do, but I don't understand one thing, why His Majesty has no reaction to this, and even has a feeling of letting Taiping Dao do whatever he wants? ”

Liu Xin thought for a while, and said with a smile: "The reason is actually very simple, I think that Your Majesty may still think that Taiping Dao is just an ordinary small sect, I don't know that Taiping Dao's influence is so huge now, it has a large number of believers among the people, and it is also the kind of die-hard level believers, the trust and worship of Zhang Jiao has reached a pathological level, and now Taiping Dao has become a cancer of the Han Dynasty, but Your Majesty knows nothing about it, come to Ying'er, you should also know why." ”

Lai Ying'er nodded silently, Liu Xin's answer to this question is already obvious - someone has hidden a question about Taiping Dao from Emperor Han Ling, and all those who found that there was a change in Taiping Dao have a tacit understanding to express their silence on it, and together they blocked Emperor Han Ling's news in this regard, so Emperor Han Ling will know nothing about the current situation of Taiping Dao.

Otherwise, even if Emperor Han Ling was a complete faint monarch, he would not tolerate the crazy expansion of Taiping Dao under his nose, and even compete with himself for the hearts and interests of the people!

Because this is the last dignity of an emperor, no emperor can tolerate his authority being trampled on, especially these sects that deceive the ignorant people!

Throughout the history of China, the attitudes of various dynasties towards sects are different, but the general direction is the same, that is, the various sects are used as tools to maintain their own rule, and the major sects are both graceful and powerful, and when they give sufficient honors and titles, they also limit the rights and scale of the major sects.

Whether it is the quiet inaction of Taoism or the bliss of rebirth in Buddhism, it is not difficult to see that their central idea is to persuade believers to be content with the status quo, accept reality, learn to tolerate, be honest, live a good life according to their duty, and enjoy themselves with peace of mind after death.

The central idea of the two major schools of Buddhism and Taoism is undoubtedly worthy of encouragement for the rulers, after all, it is of great help to maintain the stability of the regime.

In addition, the two major factions of Buddhism and Taoism are still honest, calmly promoting their beliefs, never participating in the struggle for power, and not advocating theocracy like Western Christianity, so they can be passed down in China for a long time.

Liu Xin personally believes that if Christianity appeared in ancient China, it is very likely that it will be destroyed by the rulers in a few hundred years, because the unique feudal system in ancient China made the feudal rulers never allow sects to meddle in secular affairs.

Even if it is a grand occasion such as the "Four Hundred and Eighty Temples of the Southern Dynasty", the feudal rulers have not delegated more substantive rights to the sects, which can be regarded as showing the attitude of the feudal rulers - I have done enough rituals and everything, and you sects should honestly recite the classics for me, and don't want to make a big news if you have nothing to do.

Therefore, Liu Xin feels that today's Taiping Dao is a bit like the trend of Christian development, because Taiping Dao has begun to meddle in secular affairs, which has touched the bottom line of feudal rulers!

But this is not Europe after all, and Europe, a vast and sparsely populated region with intricate power, can give Christianity room to maneuver between the major principalities and kingdoms; And the Han Dynasty is now a unified feudal country, where can the Taiping Road jump up and down here?
