In early winter, Taibai Mountain has just been covered by a heavy snowfall.

The Qinling Mountains, a mountain range at the southern end of the Guanzhong Plain, not only created a completely different climate between Guanzhong and Hanzhong, but also created many inaccessible deep mountains and valleys.

At the dangerous peak pass of Taibai Mountain, it is the place to worship the sky. Looking up from the plank road at the foot of the mountain, in a white expanse, dotted with a little yellow-green, if you get closer to identify, you can clearly see that the green touch is the branches and leaves of the trees that have grown in the deep mountains for many years, and the yellow one is the reflection of the roof of the house.

Located deep in the mountains.

There is a large number of houses, and it is inconceivable to use human and financial resources to build such a large house, and of course, if the whole country is used to build it, this is another matter.

The revival of the new Qin made the old Qin people in Guanzhong rejoice, out of ignorance of the science of this era, they not only attributed this achievement to Li Yuan and other generals who were born and died, but also attributed all this revival to the gods of heaven who blessed the Qin State.

It was under such a belief that the people spontaneously donated money and food, and began the huge project of building a place of faith and worship to heaven.

Li Yuan and his entourage climbed the steps up the mountain, and in the ancestral hall of the sacrifice to the sky, they followed the example of the first emperor to climb Mount Tai and sacrifice to their ancestors, thanking the heavens for giving the people of Qin a smooth wind and rain, the country and the people's peace, and thanking all the people for the rejuvenation of the country and the strength of the nation.

As the emperor of a country, Li Yuan has an unshirkable responsibility, and with him, in addition to important officials, there are also his two children, the eldest son Li Ye is already twelve years old, and his appearance inherits most of Ying Yushu's him. There is a faint bit of the first emperor, the prince of Fusu when he was young.

There is a lot of controversy about this prince who is more weak than resolute, and most of the generals think that Li Ye's character is not suitable for the emperor of such a huge empire as Qin, and under his rule, it is not easy for Qin to open up territory, even if it is to hold the existing place.

However, the civil officials praised Li Ye quite a lot, and they believed that after the chaos. It is a blessing for them to have such a young emperor who is young and able to listen to opinions.

Li Yuan founded the country with martial arts, and over the years, the importance of military generals has far exceeded that of civilian officials, and in this regard, even Prime Minister Chen Ping cannot be compared with those generals who fought side by side with Li Yuan and were born and died. Under this long-term oppression, civil officials urgently need a new spokesperson to speak for their interests. And Li Ye is undoubtedly the most suitable and only target.

For Chen Ping, Li Zheng and others, Li Yuan still paid attention to it, if Li Ye wants to grow into an emperor, from the perspective of this era. It is also a matter of course, after all, among the royal family, he is the only one who really has the bloodline of the winning surname. If he really has the ability to govern the country, Li Yuan doesn't mind handing over power to him gradually.

Govern a huge country.

This is the dream of many emperors, but it is not the luxury that Li Yuan hopes for in his heart.

In essence. Li Yuan's personal extravagance is not high, after seeing the developed level of science and technology and productivity in the 21st century, Li Yuan has basically been able to immunize himself to those comfortable personal life enjoyments in this era BC, and he has always looked down on the position of emperor.

After ten years of ruling the country, deep down, the only thing that could still make Li Yuan excited and eager was to wave his army to the west to conquer those places in the west that he had never reached.

――。

After the worship of Taibai Mountain, Li Yuan drove out of the deep mountains, and when passing through the area of Zhongnan Mountain, another important mountain peak in the Qinling Mountains, Li Yuan was surprised by the patches of thatched huts here.

The name of the end of the south.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a hermit Lu Zangyong who lived in seclusion here, zuihou was reused by the imperial court because of his reputation, and now it is the Qin Dynasty, and the Qin State also has strict examination discipline, and it is impossible to hire some so-called hermits just by virtue of some false reputation. Fortunately, with the situation he learned, Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

In the area of Zhongnan, six years ago, there were gradually preachers who built and lived here, and based on this, they gradually spread the teachings to Guanzhong, Hanzhong, and even the Kanto region.

This is a new sectarian doctrine, which is different from the violent cult instigated by Yingyu in Hanzhong in those years, and its fundamental purpose is to advocate a peaceful, obedient, and respectful mentality, to make the people obey the rule of the imperial court, and to let those people of insight come out of office and contribute to the strength of the country.

It is precisely because of this that in the process of development, the Protestant religion of Heavenly Master Dao has received strong support from the imperial court, and after knowing this inside story, Li Yuan couldn't help but become interested in the head of the Heavenly Master Sect. However, after asking Xiao He, Zhou Yin and others, they didn't know much about the initiator of the Heavenly Master Dao, only knowing that this person's surname was Zhang, known as Zhang Tianshi, and he walked in all directions, and he was more compared with the Dao number of Tianjizi.

"Tianjizi, this name is not small, but he doesn't tell the public by his original name, Xiao Sinong, this person is an old acquaintance." On the way to the Zhongnan Taoist Temple, Li Yuan couldn't help but ask with a smile.

And his question made Xiao He inexplicably surprised.

The person surnamed Zhang can judge things first, can it be said that he - .

After thinking about it, Xiao He decided to take the first step and find out who this Heavenly Master is, and the result of Zuihou made him feel heavy in his steps.

Zhang liang.

The number one wise man in front of the Han king Liu Bang, a descendant of the former Koreans, after Liu Bang's defeat, he returned to the mountains and forests, and after five years of silence, Zhang Liang finally was unwilling to be lonely, and went out of the mountain again in the way of Taoist Tianzun, this time he did not choose to compete with Li Yuan, but decided to rule people's hearts in the form of religion.

"Bixia, after passing another mountain pass in front, you can reach the preaching place of the Heavenly Master's Dao, and Heavenly Master Zhang is already waiting in front of the hall." In front of the car, Xiao He bowed his slightly hunched back, his eyebrows full of worry.

"Master Si Nong has worked hard, Zhang Tianshi is in good health, I heard that I felt unwell a few days ago and couldn't get out of bed." Li Yuan nodded and stepped forward.

After knowing that Zhang Tianshi was Zhang Liang, Li Yuan's interest increased greatly, and Li Yuan actually admired this wise man in the Chu and Han dynasties, but his position was completely different from each other, Zhang Liang was a descendant of Korea, and he could never give up his clan identity and go to Qin.

Now, the world has been pacified for several years, and the so-called dream of the restoration of the Six Kingdoms is no longer cared about, Zhang Liang appeared as the Venerable Heavenly Master, and no one would think about it anymore, he was an important strategist in front of Liu Bang in the past.
