241 Unforeseen circumstances
"Oh, what do you think, how are we going to unite, how are we going to fight for it?"
Seeing that Zhang Heng was a little moved, Zhang Jiao immediately said with a flutter of eyebrows: "Sect Leader Zhang, don't talk about others, just the two of us have a combined sect, and the power is all over seven or eight states. With such a big force, if it is not necessary, the imperial court will definitely not want to offend. If we bring other peers in, we will form an alliance together. In that case, we will not only have the capital to negotiate with the imperial court. And the imperial court will definitely not offend us too much, and when it comes to reform, it will definitely take the initiative to give us a part of the benefits. ”
"Great Sage and Good Master, although your idea is very good, it is a bit unrealistic." Zhang Heng said very politely: "Let's not talk about anything else, just the person in charge of this alliance is not easy to choose." ”
"Sect Leader Zhang, we don't have to elect the person in charge. If there is something, can we discuss it together? ”
"Great Sage and Good Master, according to what you say, what is the difference between this alliance and non-alliance?!" Hearing Zhang Jiao's words, Zhang Heng shook his head for a while, "Great sage and good teacher, as the saying goes, a snake can't do without a head, if it's an alliance, then it must be selected to be a person in charge." But you know, those who do our business rely on fame to eat, and if possible, who wants to be subservient to others. So this alliance just looks pretty good. ”
Zhang Heng's words were like pouring a basin of cold water on Zhang Jiao, and his fiery heart was directly poured into the cold. However, he was still a little unrelenting, "Sect Leader Zhang, but if we don't form an alliance, the imperial court will definitely squeeze out our interests." ”
"Great sage and good teacher, you are also an old man. I can't even understand this. Zhang Heng said, just a sigh, "People nowadays would rather let the imperial court squeeze out everyone's interests, rather than be taken advantage of by their peers." ”
Zhang Heng said this. Zhang Jiao understands everything. If he hadn't been cornered by the imperial court now, he wouldn't have thought of forming an alliance with others. But the problem is that it doesn't matter if others are aligned or not, he must be aligned. Because in his opinion, if he doesn't form a few allies, there is a good chance that he will be cleaned up by the imperial court.
"The world is big, and life is the greatest!" Come to think of it. Zhang Jiao turned his heart and said to Zhang Heng: "Sect Leader Zhang, why don't we form an alliance between the two factions." For example, the combined forces of our two factions also have seven or eight states, and the imperial court will definitely attach importance to our alliance. The younger brother gave up the position of the leader of the alliance to the sect leader, and only begged the court to embarrass the younger brother. The Leader can help. ”
"Great sage and good teacher, don't be like this." Looking at Zhang Jiao, Zhang Heng said in embarrassment: "Your sect is bigger than Xiaodao, and your power is stronger than Xiaodao's. ”
Seeing Zhang Heng, he was not interested in this nominal alliance leader. Zhang Jiao was even more anxious. After all, if even Zhang Heng and he can't unite, there is no hope for the others. At this time, Zhang Jiao didn't care about anything else, and said directly: "Sect Leader Zhang, you are well-informed, and you must know what happened this time. ”
"I heard that someone knocked on the drum, but whether it was or not, Xiaodao is unknown."
"Sect Leader Zhang heard right, the matter was caused because someone beat the drum of Dengwen and sued the younger brother for bewitching the public." Zhang Jiao is quite frank. Admit it directly. Then, he said to Zhang Heng: "Sect Master Zhang, it is absolutely impossible for the junior brother to enter Beijing this time. I hope that Sect Leader Zhang can look at the past relationship between your and my two sects. Pull the brothers. ”
"Great sage and good teacher, such a big thing, how can you let Xiaodao pull you." Zhang Heng looked at Zhang Jiao and shook his head, "Don't talk about our little power, how about Xianbei back then, it was not in the hands of our Majesty, and it was easily annihilated." So if you only think about confronting the imperial court, it is absolutely impossible to end well. ”
"Sect Leader Zhang, what do you mean, we two brothers can only wait for death." After listening to Zhang Heng's words, Zhang Bao said angrily.
"Not really." Zhang Heng didn't care about Zhang Bao's attitude, and said with a smile: "Xiaodao just said that if you choose to go against the imperial court, you will definitely not end well." ”
"What is the difference between the two?" Zhang Bao is still not angry.
"It's a big difference!" Zhang Heng smiled and explained to Zhang Bao: "If you don't confront the imperial court, maybe there will be a way to live." ”
"Oh, what do you mean by that?" At this time, not only Zhang Bao was interested, but even Zhang Jiao, who was hit to silence, spoke.
"Xiaodao means that Xiaodao has a little relationship with the DPRK and China, and can talk to His Majesty. If you are sincere, Xiaodao can ask someone to help you find out. ”
"Sect Leader Zhang, as long as you can help our brother get a way to live, our brother will take your lead in the future." Zhang Jiao was forced to be anxious now, and when he heard Zhang Heng's words, he hurriedly expressed his position.
"Great sage and good teacher, it's useless for you to just talk about this. You must know that someone has beaten the drum, and His Majesty will definitely give an explanation to the people of the world. How to get Your Majesty to explain this is now the most important thing for you to consider. ”
Zhang Jiao is also a smart person and knows how to make trade-offs, so he directly said, "Sect Master Zhang, things have come to this point, as long as we save our brother's life, we will be content." We don't care about the rest, it's all up to Your Majesty's arrangement. ”
After getting Zhang Jiao's assurance, Zhang Heng was happy, which was definitely a great achievement. And with this great achievement, he felt that he was close to that position.
The matter was resolved, Zhang Jiao and they felt energetic, it was really like a fly. Originally, he was not far from the capital, and this acceleration, it didn't take a few days for them to enter the capital.
Liu Hong was pondering in the palace how to deal with Zhang Jiao so as not to cause the world to shake. Zhang Jun came to report that it was his relative, and the Heavenly Master Daoist advocated Heng.
Zhang Heng, that is the Taoist Pope he wants to examine, now that he is here, how can he not see it. Therefore, Liu Hong asked Zhang Jun to bring Zhang Heng.
Regarding Liu Hong's thoughts, Zhang Heng understands it quite well. And he is a person who eats rivers and lakes and acts according to people's faces. You say, how could he not say that Liu Hong was in his heart. So after an investigation, Liu Hong decided that Zhang Heng was the candidate for the Taoist Pope.
Hearing Liu Hong's clear statement, Zhang Heng was overjoyed. You must know that the Pope of Taoism is the leader of Taoism, and with the support of the imperial court, the power is great. If you really want to talk about it, this position is not bad at all compared to the first-class members of the imperial court. How could he not be happy that someone from a background like them could get such a prominent status. But no matter how happy he was, he didn't forget about Zhang Jiao, and told Liu Hong the truth.
Liu Hong was worried about how to solve Zhang Jiao, but now, the solution came by himself. (To be continued.)
