There are not many people in the tea shop, but it is also very quiet, which is very different from the loud and chaotic noise outside. A guest at the adjacent table looked out with interest, and asked Liu Ze, "Judging by Your Excellency's dress, it should be a businessman, right?" ”

Liu Ze looked back, and the person who asked was a middle-aged scribe, with a white face and a short beard, and a polite manner, and replied: "Yes, I am doing silk business below." ”

The middle-aged scribe said: "There are so many teenagers and children, did your Excellency just buy them back?" ”

"I want to go to Youzhou, passing through Jizhou, I see many people who sell children and daughters, and their condition is pitiful, because the business is wide, and a lot of errand boys are needed, so I bought some teenagers for business purposes." Liu Ze didn't know who the middle-aged scribe was, and he didn't know what his question meant, so he thought to himself, just don't make me a human trafficker.

"Today's businessmen are mercenary, and it is rare to see such a businessman who saves the world like Your Excellency."

"Passing awards and awards, it's just a modest effort, so why worry about it."

The middle-aged scribe sighed: "Nowadays, the faint monarch is in charge, the eunuchs are rampant, the officials are sold to the lords, and the people are fished and fleshed, so that the lives are miserable, and the people are not happy, can Your Excellency save one person and ten people, hundreds of people and thousands of people, can you save thousands of displaced people in the world?" ”

Liu Ze was secretly surprised, and dared to reprimand that there were indeed few people who were mediocre today, and the scribe in front of him looked weak, but his words were full of righteousness, impassioned, and awe-inspiring arrogance, and from these few words, it can be seen that this person is by no means an ordinary person. Liu Ze bowed his hand and said: "What the honorable driver said is like a warning bell, and I have been taught below." I don't know how to call the noble surname? ”

The middle-aged scribe bowed his head slightly, and said: "In the people of Guangzong in Xiaben County, you are exempted from having a single name with a corner character. ”

Liu Ze was taken aback, almost threw away the teacup in his hand, and said in a lost voice: "Zunjia is the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao Zhang Zhenren?" ”

Zhang Jiao was slightly surprised and said, "Your Excellency also knows Zhang's name?" ”

Liu Ze made himself a little calmer, and said: "I have been in the business for a long time, I have traveled all over Kyushu, I have heard a little about Zhang Zhenren, and I know that the real person is benevolent and benevolent, saving the people, and he is a great and virtuous person, and he has admired him for a long time. ”

Liu Ze's understanding of Zhang Jiao comes from the Book of the Later Han Dynasty: at the beginning, Julu Zhang Jiao called himself a 'great sage and good teacher', serving Huang Laodao, raising disciples, kneeling and bowing to the head, and saying that the water spell was used to cure the disease, and the sick were quite healed, and the people believed in it. Jiaoyin sent eight disciples to the Quartet, to educate the world with good Taoism, and turn to confuse. In the past ten years, hundreds of thousands of disciples have connected the people of Ziqing, Xu, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan and Henan. Thirty-six squares were placed. General Fang Yu also. There are more than 10,000 people in the generous party and six or seven thousand people in the small party, each of whom is handsome. The face of Zhang Jiao recorded in the history books is hideous, fierce and vicious, and when you see it today, you can know that it is a big mistake, and the history books often regard the rebels as the beasts of the flood, and the depiction is also hateful, and this kind of "demonization" is really misled for many generations.

Although Zhang Jiao's preaching is relatively secretive, he has gathered hundreds of thousands of people for more than ten years, and there is an impermeable wall in the world, he obviously does not think that Liu Ze knows, and said: "What do you call Your Excellency? ”

"In Zhuo County, Xiayouzhou, the surname is Liu Mingze."

"I wonder what Brother Liu thinks about the affairs of the world?"

"Fang Jin's outline is not good, and it is necessary to get the Ming monarch to govern pro-government, eliminate eunuchs, appoint virtuous people, and reduce the ...... lightly"

Zhang Jiao shook his head and said: "No, no, today's court is like a terminal illness, what Brother Liu said is a warm and tonic medicine, although it can cure the symptoms but not the root cause, if you want to cure the root cause, you have to need a fierce medicine to do it." ”

"But I don't know what the real person means by the fierce medicine?"

Zhang Jiao looked left and right, lowered his voice and said: "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, the world is lucky!" ”

Liu Ze was shocked, Zhang Jiao at this time already had the heart of rebellion. "The real person's fierce medicine is extremely strong, but when the war is together, the world is in chaos, and it is the people of Li who really suffer, Xing, the people suffer, and the people die!"

"Anyone who does great things knows the word sacrifice, and the current government and the opposition are just like a pool of stagnant water, rather than dying in peace, it is better to be reborn in the fire!"

"What about after being born again?"

Zhang Jiao was stunned, all he thought about now was to gather the Taoists, rise up, and overthrow the court, as for what happened after the overthrow of the court, he really didn't think about it, but this doesn't seem to be a problem, if the rebellion is successful, he can sit on the dragon couch, and then he will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and the vassals will be feuded. "That'...... It is a new dynasty and a new atmosphere. ”

"The new dynasty is certainly a new dynasty, but it is just a change of country name, a change of year name, and a change of personal son, the official is still an official, the people are still the people, the same taxes and miscellaneous taxes must be paid, and selling children and daughters is still the same to sell, as the so-called change of soup does not change medicine."

Zhang Jiao seemed to be very interested in Liu Ze's words, and said, "I would like to hear it in detail." ”

"In the final analysis, it's just a problem of the system...... Liu Ze coughed lightly and said.

"System?" Zhang Jiao heard a term he had never heard before, "What is a system?" ”

"At the beginning of the avenue, the world was public, three emperors and five emperors, not private, but since Yu Qi, the world is private, authoritarian and arbitrary, and seeks private interests. However, the world is the world of the people of the world after all, not the world of one family and one surname, Mencius has a cloud: 'The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the king is light.' The power of the people is an irresistible force, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat, so what needs to be changed is the system of the world, the establishment of a new system, a system in which the people are truly in charge, without exploitation or oppression, rich and poor, rich and poor, and the cultivators have their land. ”

Zhang Jiao muttered: "Both rich and poor, and so noble, and the cultivator has his field......" After thinking for a while, he slapped his face and said: "A good one is rich and poor, and the cultivator has his field, Yuanyi, you quickly write it down, I have been thinking hard for a long time to get the order Brother Liu actually came out casually, and tomorrow the order can be transmitted to all parties, presumably as soon as this order comes out, the people of the world will return, and the great cause will be accomplished." Ma Yuanyi, who was behind him, immediately took a pen to write it down.

Liu Ze secretly smiled bitterly, yes, in vain, Zhang Jiao didn't understand the idea of democracy and freedom at all, but the slogan that both rich and poor, the noble and the low, and the cultivator has his land was originally the slogan used in the peasant uprisings in the past dynasties. It is no wonder that these slogans were originally the demands of the oppressed and exploited peasants, the leaders ascended to the heights, and the people responded, but often after success, the rich and the poor remained, the nobles and the lowly remained, and the cultivators may not be able to plant their own fields, this is the feudal society!

Zhang Jiao bowed to Liu Ze and said, "Mr. Liu is beautiful and wise, and Zhang Jiao has been taught." Yu by the Nanhua Taoist guidance, the establishment of Taiping Road, want to relieve the people upside down, save the people in fire and water, the teaching is still lacking in the position of military division, but also please Mr. can succumb, with Mr. talent, the world will be at your fingertips, the day of success, Mr. can be compared to Jiang Shang of Zhou, Zhang Liang of Han. ”

Liu Ze saw that Zhang Jiao wanted to pull him in, but he didn't want to go to the muddy waters of the yellow scarf, so he said: "Zhang Zhenren is wrong to love, Liu Ze is ashamed, but Liu Ze is a rough man in the mountains and wilderness, and he has no ambitions. I admire the righteous act of real people to save the people, and I hope that Huang Tian will bless them, and real people can become great things. “

Seeing Liu Ze's refusal to invite him, Zhang Jiao showed a look of disappointment, but Tang Zhou behind him was very angry. The position of military advisor in the teaching has been vacant for a long time, and everyone wants to ask for it but can't, but today Zhang Jiao's personal award to Liu Ze was refused, and he stepped forward and shouted angrily: "The heavenly master gave you the position of military advisor because he can afford you, and you are so ignorant!" ”

Before Liu Ze could speak, Zhang Fei and Guan Hai had just walked into the store, Zhang Fei saw that someone dared to scold Liu Ze, he couldn't help but be furious, rushed up with an arrow, waved his iron fist, and shouted: "What kind of bird are you, you dare to yell at my eldest brother, you can't beat me!" ”

That Tang Zhou was a fierce and inward-looking guy, relying on the large number of people, and seeing Liu Ze's good face, he dared to step forward and scold, and when he saw Zhang Fei rushing over like a black whirlwind, he was so frightened that he took a few steps back.

Liu Ze drank Zhang Fei and said, "Brother Xian, stop, don't make a mistake in front of Zhang Zhenren!" ”

Zhang Jiao also drank Tang Zhou, and Shi Li said: "Mr. is frightened, Zhang has no way to follow, and he is ashamed to speak disrespectfully. ”

Liu Ze returned the salute and said, "It's okay." The Tao is different, do not conspire with each other, Zhang Zhenren, don't pass by, there will be a period later. So, he took Zhang Feiguan out of the tea shop and went straight north.

Zhang Jiao looked at Liu Ze's distant back, stood for a long time, and finally sighed.

Ma Yuanyi said in the back: "Master, just let them go like this?" ”

Zhang Jiao smiled bitterly and said, "What do you want?" ”

"Since they already know the secret of my Taiping Dao, they can't be used by me, so it's better to ......" Ma Yuanyi waved his palm and made a knife slashing posture.

Zhang Jiao shook his head and said: "Look at the two big black men beside Liu Ze, they are vigorous and skilled, and they all have the courage to be unstoppable, with your martial arts, even if you bring a few more people over, you may not be opponents." ”

Ma Yuanyi said with some concern: "Then they already know the secrets of my sect, what if they report it to the government?" ”

Zhang Jiao shook his head and said: "I think Liu Ze is calm and calm, his essence is introverted, and he is definitely not a thing in the pool. As for such a small act as informing the government, I don't expect this person to do it. However, even if someone informes, they may not be able to sue it, and the Zhongchang servant Feng Xu Feng is greedy for bribes, which can be used by us. Yuanyi, you immediately set off to Luoyang, send more gold and silk money and goods to that Feng Xu Feng, as long as you can envelop these two people, why worry about big things. ”

Ma Yuanyi said: "No." "Turn around.

Zhang Jiao looked at the dust and smoke on the official road, and said in a low voice: "Liu Ze, one day, you and I will meet on the battlefield." ”
