Zhang Jiao was covered in green blood. He frowned, tore off the blood-stained Taoist robe and threw it to the ground.
The surrounding yellow scarf warriors are similar, especially the hatchets and pitchforks in their hands. Even if the talisman is attached by opening the angle and casting a spell, it still cannot cover up the green blood on it.
But fortunately, the source of this blood finally fell on this grassy beach.
This is a monster that looks slightly like a cow. It has only one vertical eye in its forehead. The horns on its head have countless barbs that appear to be entangled with thorns. Its tail slaps the ground weakly, and it is actually covered with scales like a snake.
After Zhang Jiao abandoned his robe, he asked other yellow turban warriors to do the same. After throwing all the blood-stained clothes together, he raised a red talisman in the air, and a spark of fire immediately appeared and ignited the clothes. In the blazing fire, Na Fei suddenly uttered human words: "That yellow thief... why do you want to put me to death?"
Zhang Jiao said coldly: "If I don't kill you, when will the world's epidemic end?"
Fei laughed strangely twice, but there was a spear stuck under his throat, and the severe pain from the tearing wound interrupted it, so he could only say hoarsely: "Zhu Yan is good at meat, and the battlefield is full of mutilated limbs, everywhere.
Eat. People don’t think that the master is going to war for personal gain, but if he resents it, he will raise an army."
"Changyou likes to eat fish and is good at listening to the waves. If he hears a flood, he will go first. People don't want to build dams to control rivers, but they resent the floods."
"The hook is not afraid of poison and regards insects as delicacies. Maggots grow when corpses rot, so why should they not be eaten? If people don't think about curing diseases and saving people, if they resent them, they will be plagued by great diseases!"
These are all strange beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Zhang Jiao has naturally heard of them. When he heard this, he frowned and shouted: "It's nonsense! Even if what the above three said is true, what excuse do you have?!"
Fei snorted disdainfully, looked at the Yellow Turban Army soldiers who still had some blood on their skin, and finally exhaled: "Let's see, will you get sick first, or... die in the battle first?" p>
After saying this, he finally closed the vertical pupils in his forehead, and his head fell heavily to the ground.
Zhang Jiao looked at Fei's body and was speechless for a long time.
After Fei's death, there was finally movement behind him. Li Cheng, the prefect of Yecheng who had agreed to fight Fei together, finally arrived with his horse. When he saw the huge corpse on the ground, he took a deep breath and did not dare to get close.
Hands over: "Great Master! Good news! Good news!"
Zhang Jiao took a long breath, no matter what, Fei has been killed. This plague that has lasted for several years must finally come to an end, right?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart. He didn't care about the pretentiousness of the governor of Yecheng. He cupped his hands and returned the greeting from afar: "Stern words...but Fei is dead, and the people can indeed have some breathing space." p>
Li Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly said: "Yes, yes, this is a joy! Double happiness comes to our door, double happiness comes to our door!"
Zhang Jiao frowned, and then he understood that what the two parties said was not the same thing, so he put down his hand and asked, "What other happy events are there?"
Grand Administrator Li Cheng stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Great virtuous master, your deeds have been heard in heaven!"
"Your Majesty announces that you will come to the palace to listen to the reward!"
————
The government and the public have not been so happy for a long time.
Flowers falling from the sky and golden lotuses sprouting from the ground are undoubtedly signs that the saint is about to emerge.
In the past, similar visions were only recorded by a handful of people from hundreds of schools of thought, but they were only in one place, with no more than a few dozen witnesses.
Going forward, there is only some correspondence in the myths and legends of the Five Emperors.
But what about now? Anywhere in the world, as long as you raise your head, you can see that wonderful scene!
Such an astonishingly auspicious omen swept away the haze of continuous natural and man-made disasters in the Zhongping years after the emperor ascended the throne.
At least that's the case on the surface.
Although many people cannot understand why the emperor is still amassing money, the eunuchs are still fighting against cholera, the relatives are still interfering in the political power, the war in Xiqiang has not eased, the natural disasters have not ended, and the people are still displaced, how can this be worthy of this moment?
Is it a good omen that the sky is full of flowers and the ground is full of golden lotuses?
But in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when an official had to either "exercise filial piety and integrity" or legally "buy an official position and become a noble", there was absolutely no "childish fool" in the court who was willing to ruin the atmosphere by saying these things.
Even the daily government affairs have a new link: everyone uses this magical auspicious omen to congratulate Your Majesty from various angles for your good governance of the country and that your destiny is in Han.
The current emperor, who will be posthumously named Lingdi in the future, is so happy that he feels a little better and doesn't have such a loss of appetite.
In such an atmosphere, Zhang Jiao's deeds of summoning thousands of meters of grain from the sky outside Yecheng finally spread to Luoyang City.
Although Zhang Jiao was the first to call for food and the news was behind, the dissemination of news also took time. As a result, due to the time difference, when people were wondering about the specific source of this auspicious omen, Zhang Jiao's shocking performance made almost everyone instantly
I have a specific guess in my mind.
Is this... a contemporary sage like Confucius and Mencius?
Since there was no such a long unified dynasty before Qin Shihuang, even if there was such a thing as Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu's feat of succeeding the Han Dynasty strengthened the deep-rooted concept of Liu Family World. There are really not many people who have dynasties in their minds.
Thoughts of replacement.
Although everyone is disgusted with the current government, what they are most looking forward to is the emergence of a new master of ZTE like Liu Xiu.
Therefore, no one in the government or the public feels that this is a threat to a sage who can cause flowers to fall from the sky and golden lotuses to appear on the ground. On the contrary, they feel inspired.
Coupled with Zhang Jiao's status as a great sage and mentor on Taiping Road, is it possible that the Han Dynasty really wanted to prosper with the help of sages?
To be honest, this idea not only affected people in the court, but even Zhang Jiao was in a trance for a moment.
He was sitting in an extremely luxurious sedan. This sedan was like an expensive mansion. Not only was it spacious and could accommodate people lying on their sides, but it was also filled with luxurious gold, silver, pearls and jade, and there was no room for Zhang Jiao.
Someone you can name.
Seeing this, the thought flashed through Zhang Jiao's mind: 'If it were replaced by food, how many people would be able to feed it?', and then it disappeared in an instant.
What he was thinking more about was whether he should take advantage of this opportunity and continue to play the role of a ‘great teacher’?
In fact, the "Taiping Jing" is not an anti-book. It contains a lot of content about assisting the Han Dynasty. There is even a special article called "Xing Diwang", which is in the form of questions and answers, describing real people asking gods and men for advice.
, how can we help the emperor in the world to rejuvenate his country?
In the early years, there was a man named Gong Chong who wanted to dedicate the "Taiping Jing" to Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty for the purpose of becoming an 'emperor's teacher'. As a matter of course, no one cared about it.
Since Zhang Jiao started his career, he has always called himself a "great virtuous teacher", and he had a similar idea.
He slightly lifted the sedan curtain, looked up at the high palace, and felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.
If we can persuade the emperor to collect less taxes, build more construction projects, and provide more disaster relief and peace of mind for the people... then why is there any need to raise troops and rebel?
He just raised his head and looked hopefully at the open corners of Weiyang Palace from a distance. He didn't see the thin faces, dark faces, laborious expressions and sweat on their foreheads of the servants carrying the sedans nearby.<
