Wang Can stared at Zuo Ci, simply staring at Zuo Ci, without any expression fluctuation in his eyes.
That look was like staring at a dead person.
Zuo Ci was stared at by Wang Can. He felt uncomfortable all over, as if he had lice on his body. He was very uncomfortable. He tried to twist his waist twice, but Wang Can still stared at him, which made Zuo Ci sigh in his heart. Wang Can
This guy is really good at pretending to be stupid. He is getting more and more cunning and is even more difficult to deal with than when he met him in Jingzhou.
In desperation, Zuo Ci could only say: "Master Wang, the old Taoist priest wants to discuss something with you!"
Wang Can shivered, as if waking up from a dream, and asked hurriedly: "Oh, Master Zuo has something to do! Come and tell me, as long as it is within the scope of my principles, I will definitely support it."
When Zuo Ci heard this, he almost fell to the ground.
What does it mean to be within the scope of principles?
This sentence can be treated as if it has not been said. Who knows what your principles are?
Zuo Ci felt helpless, but the current situation was that Wang Can already had the power to dominate the world. If he had known this earlier, he should have set up a line with Wang Can two years ago instead of waiting for Wang Can to show his strength now.
Action. It becomes more difficult to handle many things well.
The relaxed expression on Zuo Ci's face disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression.
He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty Wang has become a king. Now that the country is about to be established, the old Taoist would like to ask Wang Can to respect Taoism and support the development of Taoism. I wonder what your Majesty Wang wants?"
After finishing speaking, Zuo Ci looked at Wang Can expectantly.
When Wang Can heard this, he immediately understood Zuo Ci's intention.
The old Taoist priest Zuo Ci is a Taoist fanatic and wants to carry forward Taoism?
Wang Can stretched out his hand to twist the short black beard under his chin, and narrowed his eyes slightly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. For Wang Can, supporting Taoism is not a big problem. As long as he says a word, Zuo Ci wants to revitalize it.
Taoism will flourish in Yizhou like mushrooms after a spring rain and become widely known.
However, religion is a double-edged sword. If it is used well, it will be beneficial to Wang Can; if it is used improperly, it will definitely have a huge impact on Wang Can's rule, so we must be cautious.
Zuo Ci looked at Wang Can eagerly, with burning eyes flashing in his eyes.
It's not that he didn't think about going to pay homage to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and even Jiangdong Sun Jian, but these princes seemed to be quite powerful, but there was still a big gap compared to Wang Can, especially after more contact time, it was inevitable to know
Zuo Ci asked Wang Can to discuss matters.
"Cough! Cough!..."
Wang Can coughed twice and was about to speak but suddenly choked back.
When Zuo Ci saw this, he was extremely disappointed and felt as if he had eaten a fly.
Wang Can looked at Zuo Ci's expression and smiled secretly when he saw the change in Zuo Ci's expression. He already had a detailed plan in mind, but it was difficult to get the old Taoist priest to agree, so he had to control the situation.
Only by making the old Taoist priest a passive party can he achieve his goal.
Zuo Ci had a solemn expression and asked anxiously: "Master Wang, what do you think of Lao Dao's proposal?" Zuo Ci's confidence seemed insufficient when he spoke.
Wang Can nodded and said: "It is not impossible to support Taoism!"
"good!"
After Zuo Ci heard this, he slapped his thigh fiercely and shouted loudly.
However, Zuo Ci felt that something was wrong with Wang Can's words, because Wang Can said 'it's not impossible'. Zuo Ci's mind changed and he quickly asked: "Master Wang, what conditions do you have?"
Zuo Ci is over forty and has lived for most of his life. Naturally, he knows that pie will not fall from the sky.
Wang Can agreed to his request, there must be conditions.
Sure enough, Wang Can said with a smile: "The Taoist priest is indeed smart. It is indeed possible to support the development of Taoism in Yizhou, but Can also has certain conditions, otherwise I will not agree to the Taoist priest's request."
Zuo Ci rubbed his hands, not showing any signs of immortality at all, and said, "Sir Wang, please speak!"
Wang Can said slowly: "I have known Taoist Priest for many years, so I didn't beat around the bush and said it directly. Regarding the conditions for the development of Taoism in my sphere of influence, there is an off-topic condition first. This condition is very important. For Taoist Priest,
It's easy to say, as long as the Taoist leader agrees to this insignificant condition, we will discuss carefully how to develop Taoism."
Zuo Ci's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Wang Can with resentment.
Obviously, Wang Can wants the lion to open his mouth.
Zuo Ci wanted to refuse in his heart, but he was a slave to others, and he was an opportunity for the prosperity of Taoism. Zuo Ci would never give up. Zuo Ci had a heavy expression on his face and said: "Master Wang, please make it clear that as long as the old Taoist can accomplish it, it will definitely not be done."
decline."
Wang Can said: "The Taoist priest has a deep relationship with Pang De and Sima Hui, and they are close friends. Therefore, I hope the Taoist priest can persuade these two great sages to settle in Yizhou."
When Zuo Ci heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.
How is it possible to persuade Pang De and Sima Hui to move?
Zuo Ci shook his head repeatedly, shaking his head like a rattle, and said: "My Lord Wang, Sima Hui and Pang Degong are famous people in Jingzhou, how can they be easily persuaded? Even though I am a bit thin-faced, it is difficult for me to do so.
I can’t convince these two people, it’s really impossible!”
Wang Can sighed and said: "Oh, what a pity. If the Taoist leader agrees, Taoism can not only develop in Yizhou, but also in Youzhou and Jizhou in the future. It can also develop in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and even have the opportunity to develop in Jiangdong."
, it’s a pity that a great opportunity has been missed, it’s really a pity!”
These words made Zuo Ci's heart sway.
Zuo Ci felt hot in his heart when he thought that Taoism could surpass the monk's temple.
Since Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty sent people to welcome back Buddhism, Buddhism began to flourish. The originally quiet Taoist temples were immediately suppressed. Moreover, most of the Taoist priests were hermits who liked to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and ignored worldly affairs. The situation of Taoism became even more declining.
, Zuo Ci wanted to reverse the situation, but it was very difficult.
After listening to Wang Can's words, Zuo Ci felt extremely excited when he thought of the opportunity to preach in Kyushu.
He thought for a while and said secretly: Brother Pang, Brother Sima, I have wronged you two. Zuo Ci looked at Wang Can and said solemnly: "Master Wang, I have agreed to go to Jingzhou to persuade Sima Hui and Pang De Gong to come to Yizhou.
settle down."
Wang Can pushed further and said: "Don't be anxious, Taoist priest, don't be anxious!"
Zuo Ci frowned and asked, "Master Wang, if you have any requests, please tell me them all."
Wang Canxiao said: "Taoist Master, let's settle the matter between Pang De and Sima Hui first, and then discuss the development of Taoism. What do you think?"
Zuo Ci was impatient, but the situation was not up to him, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Wang Can continued: "Although the Taoist promised to invite Mr. Pang De and Sima Hui to settle in Yizhou, he did not say within what time it would be completed. If the Taoist opened his mouth and agreed, but delayed the matter, wouldn't my efforts have been in vain?
So I hope the Taoist Master can give a definite time."
The corner of Zuo Ci's mouth twitched slightly, Wang Can was so good.
Once the time was limited, Zuo Ci could not evade the matter and could only be at the mercy of Wang Can.
Wang Can looked at Zuo Ci with a smile and asked: "Taoist Priest, what do you think is the most appropriate time? Is it three months, five months, half a year, or one year. Taoist Priest, I must get the exact time."
Only when necessary can we continue to discuss the following matters. Please forgive me for the difficulties involved."
Zuo Ci secretly cursed Wang Can, but knew that he could not fool Wang Can, so he could only say: "Master Wang, it is not easy to convince Mr. Pang De and Sima Hui. It will take three years at least."
"Three years?" Wang Can showed a surprised expression and refused: "No, one and a half years at the latest."
Zuo Ci retorted: "At least two and a half years."
Wang Can added: "Two years, if the time is broader, there is no need to discuss it."
Zuo Ci chuckled and said, "Okay, two years will be two years."
When Wang Can saw Zuo Ci readily agreeing, he knew that the old Taoist priest had deliberately lengthened the time and set it at two years. However, Wang Can didn't care, because Yizhou needed time to rest and recuperate after successive battles, and he had enough
time to wait.
