Emperor Ling was about to die, but He Jin personally forced Yuan Shao to death and personally ordered the arrest of Yuan Shu. Now the whole world is hunting Yuan Shu, and even Yuan Shao's relatives and friends are being hunted.
There is even a vague tendency to use this as an excuse to trigger the third party ban. However, at present, it seems that this is more like a threat. He Jin is intimidating other aristocratic families. Please be careful, otherwise I will
How how...
The top aristocratic families are waiting for the death of the Ling Emperor. As long as the Ling Emperor dies, He Jin will eventually have to cooperate with the aristocratic families if he wants to control the world, but they can no longer maintain the close cooperation as in the past.
But what does this matter?
Cooperation, exchange of interests, and power transactions for the sake of profit are also acceptable to aristocratic families.
At that time, we can slowly persuade He Jin to build a noble house according to Wolong in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Then the Holy Emperor will rule from the top, and the wise men will replace the Emperor's herdsmen. Wouldn't it be beautiful?
People all over the world are waiting for the death of Emperor Ling!
As long as Emperor Ling is alive, under the centralized power system, he will be the supreme master of the Han Dynasty, even if it is the Yuan family of the fourth generation and the three princes, even if it is the Yang family who has been a Taiwei for generations, even if it is Xunzi who is known as a descendant
In front of Emperor Ling, it was just a matter of words.
This is the emperor!
The real emperor may not be the opponent of a certain class, and the power contained in the emperor cannot be compared to a certain class. But if the emperor's goal is not a certain class, but just a person or a certain family of a certain class, then it is still
Crush.
Therefore, in order to continue to exist under the oppression of the eunuchs, the Yuan family directly recognized one of the ten permanent servants named Yuan as a member of the Yuan family.
Therefore, in order to continue to exist under the oppression of the eunuchs, Xun Yu directly married the daughter of a certain official as his wife.
This is reality!
The Yuan family, Yang family, Xun family, Jiangxia Huang family, Taiyuan Wang family and other aristocratic families are just chickens waiting to be slaughtered in front of the current Ling Emperor. The only difference is whether the Ling Emperor is willing to pay a sufficient price to kill them.
Kill these chickens.
Although everyone knows that under normal circumstances, the Spirit Emperor would not do this unless he went crazy, but what if he really went crazy before he died?
After I die, who will care about the flood?
Don't you think it's ridiculous to expect a person to remain rational and calm when he's about to die?
No matter what kind of strange things a dying person does, it is not surprising. The more times like this, the more honest the major families will be.
They are all waiting for the Emperor Ling to die!
Therefore, Emperor Ling promoted Lu Zhi to be the Grand Master, and the family pretended not to see it.
Emperor Ling promoted Zheng Xuan to the rank of Grand Master to win over Zheng Xuan and his disciples, making them Liu Bian's brothers. The family still pretended not to see it.
Emperor Ling directly followed the list in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. As long as he found heroes, he would immediately verify their abilities. If they were capable, he would directly appoint them as subordinate officials of the East Palace. The noble family still pretended not to see them.
It’s not that the aristocratic family has no solution, who can’t delay it?
Direct procedural justice, kicking the ball, pushing two, five or six, these skills are not unique to later generations of bureaucrats, they have been the same for thousands of years.
Not to mention that there is Chu Xuan, the mastermind behind the scenes. Even Taoist Changkong's entry into the palace was already discussed with Chu Xuan.
"Today's situation is still stable on the surface, but there are turbulent waves under the water. There are endless careerists from all walks of life, especially the person who wrote the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I don't know what his purpose is."
"What do you think, Taoist priest?" He Hou asked casually.
However, he quietly raised the tea cup with his right hand and lowered his head to blow the scalding hot tea. It seemed that by accident, his hand would let go and the tea cup would fall to the ground.
As for whether this is a secret code or whether the cup really fell to the ground accidentally, we can only find out after all this happens.
Taoist Changkong seemed to know nothing. He smiled and shook his head: "I am just an outsider. I can only understand the current situation. As for what to do, that is for Your Majesty and the court officials to do."
Public affairs have nothing to do with me."
Hearing this, He Hou smiled, took a sip of tea, and placed the tea cup firmly on the table: "Yes, we are all women after all, and all major affairs in the world are taken care of by men.
It’s irrelevant.”
"Then why does the Taoist Master teach me?"
Hearing this, Taoist Changkong shook his head again.
Although it is said in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Taoist Changkong was a loyal minister and rescued Empress He and the eldest princess by substituting others for others, this is only the Three Kingdoms after all. If anyone takes it seriously, haha...
To put it bluntly, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is just an introduction, an opportunity, an opportunity for the descendants to appear in the Han court. But if anyone thinks that joining the Three Kingdoms means they have a gold medal for immunity from death, and the aborigines need to be grateful to them, then
Just thinking too much.
Therefore, Taoist Changkong, who understands this point, will always take the left and right sides into account no matter how he asks for his opinions or suggestions.
This is not what a Taoist should do!
Rulers can ask for advice from civil servants and counselors, and they can also ask for advice from generals and marshals, but they cannot ask for advice from Taoists, especially now that the Yellow Turban Uprising has just ended.
Finally, after being asked repeatedly by He Hou, Taoist Changkong said helplessly: "I am originally from outside the country. I have been cultivating Taoism in Baiyun Temple since I was a child. I have practiced Taoism in secret since I was a child. I really don't have much opinion on the current political affairs and the world situation.
"
I am just an honest Taoist who stays at home. My approach has always been to live alone when I am poor. As for the righteous man in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he is not me, at least not at this moment.
"Since I tied my hair, I have had a desire to pursue the Tao, and I have been pursuing immortality ever since."
Immortality has been the pursuit of countless humans since ancient times.
Because gaining immortality means everything!
Immortality is the greatest desire!
"Long before the Yellow Emperor, Taoism appeared. Guangchengzi and other ancient predecessors were pursuing immortality. At that time, the predecessors breathed in and out to refine qi for immortality. Later, the Yellow Emperor was born. He was regarded as the first master of the Taoist qi refining method.
, and then there was the Huangdi Neijing."
Only those ignorant people would think that the Yellow Emperor relied on the cultivation of Yin and Yang and the three thousand beauties in his harem to ascend in the daytime.
For a long time, Taoism was known as the school of Huang-Lao.
The yellow finger refers to Huangdi, and the old finger refers to Laozi.
"Later, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Laozi was regarded as the second master of Taoism. Since then, Taoism has given birth to Liezi, Zhuangzi and countless other seniors."
"Our goal has always been to seek immortality."
Taoism also got involved in politics. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the Huang family was used to govern the world and recuperate, which led to the rapid recovery of the national power of the Han Dynasty. However, Taoist Changkong did not mention this matter, and naturally he did not talk about it later.
After all, the Huang-Lao School was later killed by the Confucianists and Emperor Wu, which was really embarrassing.
"As for the Xiaodao, my goal has always been to seek immortality. However, the way to seek immortality in the Xiaodao is not taking medicine, fasting, becoming an immortal, nor meditating on the body, or the Talisman Sect, but the primitive refining of energy for immortality."
"If the empress is free, Xiaodao can tell me about my method of refining qi and immortality. As for the general trend of the world, these are really not things that I, a Taoist, can get involved in."
After a long while, Hecai said: "Then the Taoist priest, let's talk about it."
"This way of practicing qi is completely different from the way of qi and blood practiced by today's generals and the way of refining gods by counselors. There are three treasures in the sky: sun, moon and stars, three treasures on earth: water, fire and wind, and people have three treasures of essence, energy and spirit. The way of qi and blood
Refining essence, the spiritual path refines the spirit, and my way of refining qi for immortality, as the name suggests, is refining qi.”
"On the road to refining qi, the first step is to give birth to true qi, and then the true qi follows the order of the twelve regular meridians, the eight extraordinary meridians, and the hidden meridians throughout the body, nourishing the whole body, allowing the human body to gradually evolve..."
"Moreover, this method is more beneficial to female monks..."
At first, He Hou didn't care. She thought Taoist Changkong was just an ordinary Taoist priest. These days, there are too many Taoist priests living in the mountains and forests pursuing immortality.
Huashan Mountain, Qingcheng Mountain, Zhongnan Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, Emei Mountain... In almost every famous mountain and river, there are Taoist priests who live in seclusion to seek immortality.
These Taoist priests do not pay attention to the general trend of the outside world, nor do they care about their personal living conditions. They often live in huts in the mountains and live on wild fruits and vegetables. Apart from being leisurely and comfortable, they are extremely miserable.
However, as Taoist Changkong narrated, He later discovered that the method of refining qi that Changkong described was still very profound.
While Taoist Changkong was preaching to Queen He, Princess Wanwan quietly left the palace. After watching the sixth chapter, Princess Wanwan had a great hero appear in her mind. The character of this great hero
His name is Wang Zongchao.
This great hero can be said to be brave and resourceful. He first took the opportunity to burn Dong's thief's food and fodder, which shook Dong's army. After learning the news that he had been rescued, he led his army back and rode alone, killing Dong thief.
Seven in and seven out.
As early as night, Princess Wannian began to think about what Wang Sima looked like, and kept asking Xiao Huangmen about the deeds of this Wang Sima in reality.
Coming from a lower-class background, he didn’t have a given name, even his name was only three characters.
Since Wang Mang's reform, under normal circumstances, those with a little background have only one character in their names, and only two characters in total.
With a name like Wang Zongchao, you can tell at a glance that he is a mud-legged person, or that his ancestors have been mud-legged for eight generations. Otherwise, how could he have such a name?
However, when Princess Wannian saw this name, she only thought that Wang Sima must have been very pitiful when he was young. He had neither enough food nor clothing, but it was not easy for him to achieve what he has today.
When Wang Sima was young, he showed his natural power and unique side. Later, he gradually became the leader of his hometown's ranger group by relying on his daring to fight and a little bit of luck.
Later, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion came, Lao Wang led his fellow villagers to guard one side. The original captain was killed by the Yellow Turbans, and was favored by the prefect, who appointed him as the county captain and the Daidai captain.
During your term of office, protect one side.
Last year, Emperor Ling summoned the world's heroes to perform martial arts, and Wang Zongchao came out on top. Emperor Ling saw him, and then he became a county official, a capital official, and a city gate commander.
Repeatedly thinking about Lao Wang's experience, Princess Wannian couldn't sleep at all. As soon as the palace door opened after dawn, she set off. When she arrived at the school grounds where Lao Wang was, she found that there were already several circles around her.
.
After a little inquiry, I found out that these people were here to watch the excitement, and there were always people challenging Wang Sima.
They wanted to see how capable the general in the novel was, who took the head of an admiral out of thousands of troops and killed seven in and seven out. He couldn't be as capable as just any first-rate general in the Hundred Skeleton Realm.
?
After all, according to the story, when this guy finally escaped, he met Lu Bu. However, Lu Bu admired his loyalty and made an agreement with him for fifty rounds. In the end, after fifty rounds, Lu Bu did not take the
I didn't want him, so I let him go.
Who was the last person to fight Lu Bu with no outcome in fifty rounds?
It's Guan Yu and Zhang Fei!
"This is Liu Xuande. Look at his two-pronged sword. It is said that it is called Gu Yingfa. One sword is used for attacking and the other is used for defense. It is very powerful." This is a passerby who knows everything.
"Liu Xuande? Is he the straw sandal seller in the novel?"
"Ahem, a child's words are unbridled, a child's words are unbridled."
"Xuan Degong's double-pronged sword is suitable for both battlefield and roaming combat. It is said that even Zhang Yide and Guan Yunchang are no match for him in an infantry battle without leading troops."
"Yes, I have also heard about this. It is said that when Liu Xuande led the army to suppress the rebellion and returned to his hometown in Zhuojun, he met Zhang Yide and Guan Yunchang who came to join the army."
"At that time, in the school field, Liu Xuande impressed the two men with his double sword. Although it was only an infantry fight, it was still very powerful."
The level of infantry combat does not represent a general's ultimate strength.
The key to a general is to look at his Taoist soldiers and see how many Taoist soldiers he can carry. This is the military commander's combat power at his peak.
Take Liu Bei for example, he can only carry the energy and blood of forty-seven Tao soldiers now, but he cannot carry more. Another example is Guan Yu. Although he is slightly inferior to Liu Bei in foot combat, he can already carry eighty-seven Tao soldiers.
soldiers.
However, due to the large number of Dao soldiers and the overbearing Qinglong Qi and blood unique to Guan Yu, Guan Yu's face turned red every time he carried it.
There are rumors in the world that Guan Yu was a serious and handsome boy back then, but now he has become a red-faced man.
There is also Zhang Fei. It is said that when he first met Liu Bei, he was still good at painting. He was a serious and handsome guy with a white face. Now, every time he carries Taoist energy and blood, he is like a big black mouse.
, particularly black.
As for Cao Cao, he was once a handsome, handsome middle-aged man, but now he carries Taoist energy and blood so frequently that just by looking at his appearance, anyone would think that he is short and poor.
However, this inconspicuous short man can carry more Taoist soldiers than Guan Yunchang on the side. He can carry 108 Taoist soldiers. It is said that even the three great masters will carry such a famous man all over the world.
Senior, it can only carry about a hundred Taoist soldiers.
