Zhang Liang is back in the rivers and lakes!

The doctrine of the Heavenly Master Dao, which alludes to the main theme of secular imperial power, rather than the slogan doctrine that reprimanded the cruelty and inhumanity of the Qin rule in the past, made Li Yuan eager to meet Zhang Liang, the wise man of an era, there are only one or two, and Zhang Liang was definitely a unique wise man at the end of the Qin Dynasty.

"Bixia, Zhang Tianshi is in good health, and he is now waiting at the entrance of the front hall." Xiao He leaned down slightly, and a strand of hair on his forehead fell.

Xiao He and Zhang Liang were all cronies of Liu Bang back then. However, one of the two people is an official in the court, and the other is in seclusion in the opposition, as the so-called Tao must conspire with each other, and it is normal to have less contact, but if there is no relationship between each other, it is impossible, for this, Li Yuan knows this, which is also the reason why he sent Xiao He to contact the Heavenly Master Dao.

The foothills of the South Mountains.

The winter snow had not yet completely melted, but the thin snow on the stone steps had been cleaned by the Taoists early, leaving only a wet trail.

"Bixia, the mountain road is dangerous, why don't you let the servants carry it up?" Zhou Yin followed Li Yuan's side, and when he saw that the snow was slippery, he hurriedly stopped him and admonished.

"Hey, this king is not old enough to be carried up." Li Yuan's face tightened, and he didn't pay attention to the stunned Zhou Yin and the others, that is, he climbed with a group of guards. From the mountainside to the section of the Heavenly Master's Dao, the carriage is no longer passable, and it must be walked up on foot, of course, with Li Yuan's status, it is beyond reproach to order the attendants to carry it up, but this is obviously Li Yuan's unwillingness.

Li Yuan and his entourage walked between the mountainsides, feeling the changes in the realm of heaven and man in the heavenly blessed land of Zhongnan Cave, and what they saw in front of them was the buildings and palaces that seemed to be in a dream, coupled with the sound of Taoist chanting in their ears, this kind of hallucinogenic effect was an important means for Heavenly Master Dao to confuse Taoist disciples, not to mention ordinary people. Even the officials around Li Yuan gradually became immersed in it, and their eyes became blurred.

"Climb high and look far away, this fog is not enough for this king." After Li Yuan was stunned, his heart became clear. All the things of spiritual religion are just illusory, and the blending of feelings and scenery is more just to make people believe in the nobility and supremacy of doctrines and doctrines. It's just a joke.

Line after line.

Located on the mountainside of Zhongnan, the important land of the Heavenly Master Dao is composed of a large area of bamboo forests and bamboo houses, this kind of bamboo houses are made of local materials, and the cost of construction is quite low, and the meaning of bamboo itself also has the meaning of clear and high, self-appreciation, and different streams and pollution, which is in line with the teachings of the Heavenly Master Tao advocated by Zhang Liang. As for whether the teachings are really indisputable and isolated from the world, only Zhang Liang, the head of the Tao, has the right to speak.

Li Yuan guessed Zhang Liang's true intentions while walking for a while. I saw a group of people dressed in sackcloth, with a road crown on their heads, and grass shoes on their feet, looking at the col in front of them. The person in the front is emaciated, and his face is not real. But the two eyes are very large, covering a third of the entire face.

Zhang Liang's real person, Li Yuan has never seen, but his portrait was painted by a painter in his early years. In the past two years, although Zhang Liang has looked a little older, he still looks like six or seven points.

"Zhang Tianshi, Emperor Shenwu has arrived. Don't hurry up and greet each other. Before Li Yuan could speak, Xiao He, who was beside him, had already shouted anxiously.

Zhang Liang came forward when he heard this, he didn't mean to flinch, over the years, with the stability of the Qin state, the pursuit of the rest of the Chu and Han dynasties in the past has been much lax, in this regard, Li Yuan does not care too much, which can be seen from his informality and reuse of Xiao He, Zhong Liwu and others. It is precisely because of this that Zhang Liang will take the initiative to catch up, otherwise, he is afraid that he will always live in seclusion in the mountains and die in Linquan.

"I have heard a lot of about the name of the Heavenly Master, but I can't imagine that it is an old man." Li Yuan smiled and walked towards Zhang Liang.

"Bixia, the past and the past, are all like a dream, the poor road can't be remembered, now this Great Qin is peaceful in the world, the people are rich, all depend on the merits of Bixia, the name of the Heavenly Master, that is, the Great Qin is the will of God, the will of God, and all living beings cannot be violated." Zhang Liang looked solemn and said.

The general trend is indisputable.

Five years after the unification of the Qin state, Zhang Liang finally bowed his head, and the idea of restoring Han no longer existed, and during these years of seclusion, his main interest was on religion.

Heavenly Master Dao.

At the beginning, it was a belief group secretly established by some reclusive hermits and shamans who made a living from alchemy and curing diseases, and at the beginning, its morality did not have many advanced theories, but later after Zhang Liang joined and led, its spiritual morality began to transform into anesthesia and indoctrination beliefs, and it was this transformation that made the Heavenly Master Sect gradually break away from the local general witchcraft heresy and begin to develop to a more far-reaching level.

"In this way, this king is about to listen carefully to the Heavenly Master's explanation of morality." Li Yuan nodded. The meaning of Zhang Liang's words has clearly stated that the purpose of the creation of the Heavenly Master Dao is not to confront the Qin State, but on the contrary, to use another spiritual liliang to help the Qin State achieve long-term peace and stability, and his statement made Li Yuan suddenly interested.

Secularity and religion complement each other.

Without one side, it is difficult for the other side to survive for a long time.

The reason why the Qin State under the rule of the First Emperor collapsed in a short period of time was not only the brutality of Hu Hai and others, but also the lack of spiritual religious support. If there is no reverence on the part of the population, there will be a mob that will rise up, and to maintain the stability of a huge country, in addition to a strong army, a spiritual anesthetic such as religion is needed.

Throughout ancient history, no matter how glorious a civilization was, in addition to secular domination, the role of religion in aggregating could not be ignored. The rule of law, strict legal system, complete laws and punishments allowed the Qin state to gather liliang in a short period of time, and the rise of the Qin state.

However, while the material life is abundant, whether the spiritual life of the Qin people can keep up is the fundamental guarantee for maintaining the longevity of a great country. Without the anesthesia and support of the spiritual liliang, a country built on the dunes is nothing more than a castle on the dunes.

Therefore, in this sense, the emergence of the Heavenly Master Dao is appropriate. What interests Li Yuan even more is how Zhang Liang guessed the current needs of the Qin State, in other words, what did he rely on to understand Li Yuan's thoughts, whether he relied on resourceful and decisive resourcefulness, or some other reasons.

If Zhang Liang really had the intention to help the Qin State achieve unification at the spiritual level, Li Yuan didn't mind the promotion of the Heavenly Master Dao in the thirty-six counties across the country, in other words, as long as he gave an order, it would be okay to make the Heavenly Master Dao the state religion of the Qin State, and this point would only be possible after Zhang Liang revealed his true intentions.

In the past few years, although there are still small-scale turmoil in the territory of Qin, generally speaking, it can be quelled at the county level, and there are not many things that really involve Li Yuan to personally interrogate.

Getting up early every morning, running around the palace for a few laps, and then taking a group of guards to Lishan to hunt, is a compulsory course for Li Yuan to take once in a while, such a leisure for a veteran who has been fighting for more than ten years, is an extremely rare opportunity to tidy up his mood and replenish his energy.

But to settle for the status quo is to die. Li Yuan served as Emperor of Great Qin for five years, and the state of Qin was also thriving, and if this momentum could be maintained for 50 years, it would undoubtedly usher in a new era of prosperity. But where to go next, this question has plagued Li Yuan for a long time?

The choice is in front of us, whether to continue to stay in this era, to be a hegemon like the First Emperor and the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, or to find another road that others have not taken, and to lead the people to continue to forge ahead with their words and deeds, and to create a great era that future generations yearn for and admire.

In the all-night long conversation with Zhang Liang, Li Yuan's wavering mind finally calmed down, and for the Qin State, a new era different from any dynasty in history was about to open! (To be continued......)
