Zhang Jiao is a saint with a cloth cloth, and the intermediate process is naturally disturbed and complicated.

Even Zhang Jiao, who was nominally invited, didn't feel too comfortable. There are even some officials who don't think about the supernatural, but the yellow-robed Taoist priest in front of them is a monk who pretends to be a ghost, just like those who fooled Qin Shi Huang back then, and even secretly asks for bribes.

Zhang Jiao didn't understand, but fortunately, he was the person the emperor named to see anyway, and more people were also in awe of him in the vision, and these guys didn't dare to really stumble at this time.

After all, after the court meeting, Zhang Jiao, led by an unknown official, walked through the prosperous and majestic palace, passed by countless ministers who cast strange eyes, and came to the main hall.

Emperor Han Ling sat on the jade throne, and Zhang Jiao was at the bottom, and the distance between the two was extremely far apart.

The hall is not empty, the guards, the eunuchs perform their duties, and there are also a few ministers and doctors wearing a crown on their heads, but Zhang Jiao is not lonely when he stands in the palace.

"Poor Dao Zhangjiao, I have seen Your Majesty."

Because he didn't know what kind of salute he should perform, Zhang Jiao simply made a bow, and because he was wearing a Taoist robe, everyone present didn't feel anything wrong.

Liu Hong's cheeks were slightly chubby, his beard was supple, and his expression changed from impatience to interest after seeing Zhang Jiao, and he smiled and said, "Great sage and good teacher, I heard that you can make food out of thin air, right?" ”

Zhang Jiao knew that that was the only reason why he could come here, but he was not surprised that the emperor was so straightforward and bowed, "Yes, Your Majesty." But this is not the Tao, it is given by Si Chen. ”

"Si Chen? What kind of fairy is this? Aren't you Taiping Dao the Zhonghuang Taiyi you believe in? Liu Hong looked puzzled.

Zhang Jiao was a little surprised, although he preached for several years, he didn't expect the emperor to be able to say a thing or two about the Taiping Dao.

Obviously, I just learned about it when I came.

And the emperor's behavior of taking the initiative to understand Taiping Dao made Zhang Jiao's heart rise a little hot.

With the most humble attitude in his life, he respectfully said: "Exactly, the reason why Ran Taiping Dao believes in Zhonghuang Taiyi is because of the pursuit of peace and prosperity under the rule of sages, such as Confucianism and Zhou Gong." ”

And Si Chen ...... He is the only true God who shows true deeds in the world! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a buzz of whispered discussion in the hall, and there were even a few sneers.

Liu Hong didn't care, and a eunuch beside him stepped forward and smiled: "Since that's the case...... Why don't the great sages and good teachers no longer let the true gods manifest their spirits, and then conjure up ten months of money and grain for the people who have suffered from drought in Nanyang? ”

Another eunuch also came out and said with a smile: "It's not that we don't believe it, it's really that this matter is related to the people's livelihood, if it can be done, with the countless merits of the great sage and good teacher, it is not known that it will be ranked in the immortal class in the future?" ”

Since it is not a court meeting now, but a face-to-face meeting with cloth clothes, the eunuchs who nominally cannot speak in the court are also much more casual.

What's more, they are the famous Ten Standing Attendants, the only trusted sword of Emperor Han Ling, and everyone present has long been accustomed to such behavior.

Zhang Jiao frowned slightly and said: "The power of God is unspeakable, and the grace of God is unpredictable. Whenever Si Chen manifests, he will hide in the upper realm within a few days. You can help the people for a while, but you can't help the people for a lifetime. ”

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Liu Hong, his eyes were blazing, and he arched his hand earnestly: "On that day, the Jedi Heavenly Pass separated the two worlds of man and god without interfering with each other. This miracle of distress can bear the cause and effect to alleviate the place, which is already a great grace of God. ”

"What we should do is not to entrust all the responsibilities to Si Chen. It is also necessary to use the learning of Huang Lao to help the victims, take less taxes, reduce forced labor, and rest with the people, so as to achieve a truly peaceful and prosperous world! ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Hong's originally interested expression immediately pulled the elder.

His brow furrowed, and he said in his heart that it was these old things again, and this great sage and good teacher was not as smart as he seemed.

Don't I want to use Huang Lao's learning? The key is that the court is full of Confucian students from families, and I use a fart!

Besides, is Huang Laozhi's learning really good? When I haven't read? The so-called rest with the people and less taxes is nothing more than handing over the money and grain to the hands of the local gentry for no reason, not only can it not be effective, but it can't even maintain the status quo!

Since the mud legs at the bottom always have to pay for food, why can't they be paid into my hands?

Although the rule of Wenjing is tempting, but in the world when the people's hearts are not ancient, and the etiquette collapses and the happiness is bad, I believe in the evil of this Taoist priest, I am afraid that the country will be destroyed in two days!

It's not because of natural disasters! If the wind and rain can be smooth every year, I can also be a generation of Ming Jun!

Thinking of these thoughts in his heart, Liu Hong's original mentality of meeting Zhang Jiao for fun immediately turned into impatience as if facing the chaos of the court meeting.

His tone became cold, and he said directly: "You don't know about these problems? But the great sages and good teachers only think about the people at the bottom, so how can they ever consider my difficulties? ”

Zhang Jiao was stunned by this.

The emperor still has difficulties?

Liu Hong stood up, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with this little Taoist priest who was born with mud legs, the other party had never seen the world at all, his head was empty, and it was useless to talk about it.

He said bluntly: "If the great sage and good teacher can summon thousands of stones, he can solve the urgent needs of the government and the opposition, and live thousands of displaced people in the world. ”

"If you can't, when the ministers of the court are all rich and rich, you won't have to bother with the great sages and good teachers."

As soon as these words came out, there was a slight snicker in the court, and everyone looked at Zhang Jiao as if they were watching a burlesque.

At the moment when knowledge is controlled by the family, Zhang Jiao, who has only read a few enlightenment books and the Taiping Sutra, as soon as he spoke, he showed his timidity among these civil and military generals who were full of poetry and books.

Such a move also made Zhang Jiao no longer mysterious in the eyes of everyone, and suddenly no one believed in his feat of calling for food in Yecheng.

After all, the magic tricksters have been hundreds of years from the Qin Dynasty to the present, and there are countless trucks. Although some people do know some small spells, the blood of ordinary black dogs and roosters can be broken as soon as they are poked, and there is no use at all.

Zhang Jiao was silent, bearing the naked gaze of everyone.

Speaking of which, you still have to turn your own food out.

But Zhang Jiao really didn't want to bother Si Chen on the altar like a harlequin in order to prove himself.

He secretly clenched his fists, and suddenly spoke up again: "In this case, if the poor Dao can summon thousands of stones of grain, can Your Majesty distribute them to the people of the disaster in various places?" This merit is shared by Si Chen and His Majesty, and the people of the world all inherit His Majesty's kindness. ”

Still hard-mouthed?

Liu Hong raised his eyebrows, but he didn't believe Zhang Jiao in his heart, so he didn't bother to lie, and teased: "If you can really summon ten thousand stones of grain, why don't you put it directly in Luoyang and pay taxes this year." ”

Zhang Jiao's breathing was a little heavier, and he trembled slightly.

Lao Dao disturbed Si Chen's quiet rest and conjured up thousands of stone grains, just to pay taxes for you for a year?

So what am I trying to do?

It's better to distribute the food by yourself, one place at a time!

He was extremely disappointed in his heart, and finally gave up his hand, and said in a stiff voice: "In this case, I hope that Your Majesty will do it for himself, and forgive the grass people for retiring." ”

After saying that, he didn't care about any etiquette, turned his head and wanted to leave.

But the guards directly raised the halberd and crossed it, blocking Zhang Jiao's way.

The eunuch who spoke at the beginning said coldly: "Wait, how can you wait for the palace to come when you want to come, and leave as soon as you want?" ”

Another eunuch said quietly: "If you can't summon the mountain-like rice and grain as Yecheng Taishou said, according to the story of Shaoweng's ghost, you should be punished for the crime of bullying the king, and the city will be cut off!" ”

Liu Hong stood on the high platform, no longer spoke, and looked coldly at the yellow-robed Taoist priest below, as if he was looking at a cricket that was beyond his strength and fell into despair after the cowhide was blown out.

The minister below shook his head and sighed: "Back then, Ximen Leopard ruled Ye, and there was also the story of Hebo marrying a wife, Yecheng Taishou could be coaxed by you?" It's really a corpse vegetarian meal! ”

After saying that, another minister snorted coldly: "Hmph, I don't know which way to use the name of Mao Shen, Si Chen?" Another obscene and evil sacrifice! ”

This last sentence completely ignited the anger in Zhang Jiao's heart.

He can not care that he is laughed at, and he can allow himself to be slandered...... But it is absolutely not permissible for anyone to dare to blaspheme the only god who has mercy on the world and saves the world.

What kind of courage do these people have, what confidence do they have, what kind of face do they have, dare to point fingers at God, and are full of foul language?!

Zhang Jiao suddenly turned around, furious, his eyes widened, his fingers were together like a sword, and he said sharply: "Wait a minute!" ”

reacted so violently and shouted and scolded, but others did not do anything, but they startled Liu Hong, who was high above.

Immediately, he was annoyed and angry, and said coldly: "Shouting and screaming above the court, presumptuous!" Come on, take down this demon road! ”

Zhang Jiao did not show weakness, and directly pulled out the talisman from his arms to break through.

Then, Zhang Jiao's face changed, and he was shocked to find that the talisman in his hand was in the palace, and it couldn't attract the slightest aura of heaven and earth.

This is...... The national fortune of the Han Dynasty?

Seeing that the guard's swords were about to be added, Zhang Jiao kept thinking about countermeasures in his mind, but there was nothing he could do.

Suddenly, everyone's movements stopped.

In the five lakes and four seas, the world and Kyushu, inside and outside the world, up and down the government and the opposition, and in the ears of the people and ministers, a sigh sounded at the same time.

"Alas......"
