There is a saying that a person's status determines a person's vision and also affects a person's desires. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When Zhang Jiao was just an ordinary farmer, Zhang Jiao's world only had his own village and Julu City, and Zhang Jiao only wanted to marry a wife and have children and live a peaceful life.

When Zhang Jiao obtained the "Taiping Book of Heaven", he became a well-known doctor with the prescriptions recorded in the Taiping Book of Heaven, at this time Zhang Jiao's eyes were on Julu City, he wanted to move into Julu City, rely on his medical skills to earn an industry, and by the way, find an opportunity to let his two younger brothers become officials, and then let his children and grandchildren live in Julu City and change their lives, because Zhang Jiao did not want his children and grandchildren to live a hard and poor life as a farmer.

But now, Zhang Jiao saved a large number of people in the plague, and there are many children of big families, which makes Zhang Jiao's fame in Jizhou more and more famous, and when the people around him see Zhang Jiao, they will respectfully call him a great virtuous teacher, Taiping Sect Master, which makes Zhang Jiao's vanity that he didn't have instantly swell, and he feels that he is really an immortal master.

Moreover, these people who were rescued by Zhang Jiao also spontaneously sent various gifts to Zhang Jiao, and those merchants sent gold, silver, cloth, mansions and shops, and the family was even more generous, not only making Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang promoted to become rich, but also helped Zhang Jiao continue to promote Taiping Dao.

From thrift to luxury.

Zhang Jiao quickly got used to a life of affluence, which he had never thought of before, and the people around him were touting his immortal skills, which made Zhang Jiao more and more fluttering.

In this way, after a few more plagues occurred in Jizhou, Zhang Jiao saved a large number of people infected with the plague, which made Zhang Jiao's status in Jizhou more and more high.

That's right, Zhang Jiao feels that he is now the emperor of Jizhou, all the people of Jizhou are his Taiping Taoists, all the families are singing praises for themselves, and all the officials in Jizhou regard him as an emperor to flatter.

However, Zhang Jiao, who returned to his senses, suddenly found himself in a cold sweat behind his back, he was just an ordinary peasant, and now he actually regarded himself as an emperor, how could he have such an arrogant idea?

After all, Zhang Jiao is still a small peasant in his bones, Zhang Jiao, who was born in a peasant family, has soared in the past few years, has been touted, and his vision and desire are much bigger than before, but in the final analysis, Zhang Jiao still thinks that he is a commoner, at most a peasant with a strange book, and the emperor is such a sacred existence, how can he be greedy?

As a result, Zhang Jiao reflected on his arrogance, continued to be a great sage and mentor honestly, and no longer thought about any imperial affairs.

But one day, Zhang Jiao's third brother Zhang Liang came back happily and told Zhang Jiao that the believers of Taiping Dao had spontaneously established the Taiping Dao branch altar in Bingzhou, and Zhang Jiao's heart was not surprised, but frightened!

Because Zhang Jiao once heard the old scholar say that the most taboo thing for the emperors of all dynasties was that the sect was to sit big, because the more believers in the sect, the more popular hearts were absorbed, and then the rule of the country would be shaken, and the emperor's rights would be affected, so the emperor would choose to destroy the sect that would shake his rule.

And now the largest sect in the Han Dynasty - Taoism, although there are many believers in Taoism, but the organization of Taoism is very loose, plus most of the Taoist priests of Taoism are traveling all over the world, there is no way to assemble into a large collective, and the Taoist temples and other Taoist temples in each county town basically have no communication, and the Taoist doctrine is to respect the royal power and serve the emperor, so the Han Emperor will acquiesce in the existence of Taoism, so he did not destroy Taoism.

But Zhang Jiao remembered the current Taiping Dao, the believers are basically in Jizhou, and most of the people in Jizhou are already believing in the Taiping Dao, because those people who do not believe in the Taiping Dao have died in the plague, so the rest of the people have to believe in the Taiping Dao.

And now that Taiping Dao has actually begun to preach in Bingzhou, isn't this clearly telling the Emperor of the Han Dynasty that Taiping Dao wants to make a big news?

Of course, this is also because Zhang Jiao doesn't know that the current Emperor of the Han Dynasty is Emperor Ling of Han, and he doesn't know what Emperor Ling of Han did, otherwise Zhang Jiao would not be so nervous.

However, at this time, although Zhang Jiao was calm on the surface, he only said "I know" to his third brother Zhang Liang, but Zhang Jiao's heart was extremely panicked, because Zhang Jiao knew that he was not an immortal master, but a doctor with the "Taiping Book of Heaven", if he really angered the Han Emperor, then Taiping Dao would be trampled into scum like an ant.

So Zhang Jiao wanted to escape, but he didn't know where to flee, after all, in Zhang Jiao's thinking, the whole world was not the king's land, no matter where he ran, he would be captured by the Han Emperor, and then he would die without a place to bury.

Just when Zhang Jiao was thinking nonsense, Zhang Bao also heard the news that Bingzhou began to establish the Taiping Dao Branch, Zhang Bao's first thought was the same as Zhang Jiao, this is not good news, after all, Zhang Bao is the only one in the Zhang family who is an official, and under the protection of his brother Zhang Jiao, he has now become a county prince, which is simply unimaginable for Zhang Bao, who was born as a farmer.

But Zhang Bao also wanted to go further, because he felt that with his brother Zhang Jiao's ability, he would definitely be able to make himself a place guard.

However, Zhang Bao has also worked hard in the officialdom for a few years, and he also knows that as far as the current situation is concerned, it is already the limit for him to become a county prince, because a higher position requires the emperor's personal permission to serve, and if you want to get the emperor's personal permission, you must either learn to be rich and get the emperor's approval; Either become filial piety.

And Zhang Bao also knew that his knowledge was not good, after all, he had learned to read and hyphenate with an old scholar, and Zhang Bao didn't know what the Four Books and Five Classics were.

As for the quota of filial piety, it is the private property of the family, and their children and grandchildren need the title of filial piety if they want to become officials, and Jizhou has so many places every year.

Although these families have great respect for their brother Zhang Jiao, they are not willing to give up their filial piety quota, after all, this is the biggest weight of their family's children, if they miss this year, then the next time to get the filial piety quota will not know how long, which will affect the future of their children.

And Zhang Bao also faintly felt that the officials around him were wary of him, and sometimes Zhang Bao would even find himself being watched, which made Zhang Bao understand that his county was just a special "charity" given to him by those big families and Jizhou officials in order to please his eldest brother Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Bao thought about it carefully, and sure enough, although he became a county official, he did not improve much in terms of rights, and political affairs were basically handled by the county order. At that time, Zhang Bao still felt that this county order was good, and knew to reduce the workload for himself, but now that he looks at it, he doesn't know if he wants to empty himself?

The current Zhang Bao, although he is a county prince, is not responsible for any affairs, and his officials will only flatter, Zhang Bao is just a county prince.

Thinking of this, Zhang Bao felt that he had been deceived, but he was helpless, because he didn't have real talent after all, and he only relied on the ability of his eldest brother Zhang Jiao to get into the position of county leader.

However, Zhang Bao was not reconciled, so when he learned that there was a Taiping Road branch in Bingzhou, Zhang Bao knew that this was a crisis and an opportunity.

Zhang Bao hurriedly found Zhang Jiao and told Zhang Jiao his thoughts.

Zhang Bao's idea is actually very simple, that is, to take the money saved by the eldest brother in recent years, and go to Luoyang to bribe the ten permanent servants, because Zhang Bao heard that the power of the ten permanent servants is very strong, and they can even arrest the officials of the family (that is, the disaster of the party), so Zhang Bao thinks that as long as the ten permanent servants are bribed and let the ten permanent servants become the backers of Taiping Dao, then Taiping Dao can develop boldly with confidence, and no matter how bad it is, he can let the ten permanent servants report to themselves, and inform himself before Emperor Han Ling decides to send troops, and he can run away quickly.

Of course, Zhang Bao is also selfish, he wants to borrow the power of the ten permanent servants to become a real county magistrate!

After thinking about it, Zhang Jiao decided that his second brother Zhang Bao's suggestion was very good, so he arranged for Zhang Bao to go to Luoyang to bribe the money of the ten permanent servants.

The situation was very smooth, Zhang Rang, one of the ten permanent servants, accepted Zhang Bao's bribe, and arranged for Zhang Bao to be promoted to the position of county commander, and promised that as long as the annual offerings were given in time, the ten permanent servants would say good things for Taiping Dao, and would never let Emperor Han Ling make a move on Taiping Dao.

Of course, Zhang Jiao didn't know, it was because Zhang Bao bribed Zhang Rang that Zhang Rang became interested in Taiping Dao, and then specially sent someone to go undercover in Taiping Dao, and became a high-level person in Taiping Dao step by step, this person is Tang Zhou, and Zhang Rang originally wanted Tang Zhou to replace Zhang Jiao, but because Zhang Jiao's reputation in Taiping Dao was too high, he had no chance but to sneak forward and wait for Zhang Jiao's death before making plans.

Zhang Jiao, who ate a reassuring pill, let go of the speed of Taiping Dao preaching, and Taiping Dao also spread in Dahan little by little.

But this year, Zhang Jiao suddenly realized that Taiping Dao had spread to half of the Han Dynasty, except for those remote areas, the Han Dynasty was full of its own believers!

And Zhang Jiao became disgusted with Zhang Rang, whose appetite was getting bigger and bigger, and learned what Emperor Han Ling did, Zhang Jiao remembered a sentence - the emperor will Xiangning have a kind?

Zhang Jiao felt as if he had the ability to overthrow the decaying Han Dynasty and become the new emperor of this land!

This strange idea spread wantonly in Zhang Jiao's heart, and in the end, Zhang Jiao slapped his thigh and decided to make a big news like this! (To be continued.) )
