Yan Pu thought for a moment and asked proactively.
"Now that we're talking about this, there are still some things that need to be decided by the headmaster. Cutting down mountains and destroying temples requires a lot of manpower. I don't have many disciples in Heming Taoist Palace, so I'm afraid I won't be able to do all the work. Besides, there are no talents in the sect who can handle government affairs.
How should the local government affairs in Hanzhong be maintained? Furthermore, since we have come down from the mountain, we will inevitably deal with various forces and have secular interactions. How should we get along with each other?"
Since Taoists deposed hundreds of schools of thought, they have stayed away from the court and concentrated on their own practice.
Now there are more than 400,000 people in nine counties in Hanzhong. It is not easy to take them all over.
The subordinates of the witch Zhang Xiu firmly controlled each county, and the main force of the barbarian soldiers was cautiously stationed far away in Dingjun Mountain.
After returning to Yangping Pass, Fu Jin, Zhang Yi, Xiang Cun and others have been reinforcing their troops. After defeating Su Gu's remnants, the four generals of Jiameng Pass also took advantage of the situation and occupied Micang Mountain.
Amid internal and external troubles, there is a question mark as to how long Hanzhong County can sustain itself, not to mention the need to clean up both the inside and outside so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment as soon as possible.
After hearing this, Zhang Lu obviously had a plan.
"We, Heming Taoist Palace, believe in Huang Lao's teachings. Naturally, we focus on cultivating one's health and nourishing one's health, so affairs are not troublesome. As for the talents who manage government affairs..."
Zhang Lu smiled and said leisurely, "There was a young disciple who told me about the gains and losses of Taiping Dao before, and his words were quite pertinent. I once asked him what would happen if he did it. He told me that here
In the midst of a catastrophe, if people are in chaos, deprived of support, old and young, and suffering from illness, if everyone can go out and have someone give them a few buckets of rice to eat, maybe they will be happy. That's really good."
As he said that, his eyes swept across the scene and landed on Yu Xian.
Yu Xian was so shocked that he was speechless, not thinking that his own affairs were involved.
At that time, I was also comparing blindly, okay...
"I intend to make this young disciple the master of Hanzhong, to arbitrate worldly affairs. What do you think?"
Everyone followed Zhang Lu's gaze and knew which one the headmaster preferred.
However, Yu Xian didn't show up much in the mountains, and many people had doubts on their faces.
Some Taoists whom I didn’t recognize couldn’t help but ask, “Who is this?”
Chijinzi heard this and replied casually, "He is a direct disciple of Taoist Master Chongxuanzi, and his name is Yu Xian."
The Taoist nodded after hearing this and had no further questions.
People who practice Taoism do not pay much attention to seniority and seniority, but their foundation and footing. As a disciple of Zhitou Dajiu Jiu Zhongxuanzi, Yu Xian’s footing could not be any harder.
Those witches, ghosts and demon masters were already in panic, and they didn't dare to jump out and sing the opposite at this time.
Seeing that no one objected, Zhang Lu immediately spoke loudly, "Yu Xian, the old Taoist appoints you as the Imperial Preceptor. You will be responsible for secular affairs. You must make the people happy and fulfill the merits of our religion. Externally, you can still be the Imperial Preceptor of the Han Dynasty."
I communicate with all directions with my name, so that I, Hanzhong, will not be attacked from both sides."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xian immediately attended and bowed in response, "Disciple... you will live up to your trust."
As I spoke, my heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Since he came down from the mountain, he had stirred up troubles and troubles everywhere, and he had tried so hard, but in the end he had to escape back to Hanzhong in embarrassment and join his master.
Who would have thought that as soon as I came back, I would take over such a huge family business on the same day!
turn out to be……
Those novels about failure in starting a business and crying about going home and inheriting hundreds of millions of fortunes are all true!
There is another important reason why Yu Xian did not refuse and accepted the matter boldly, that is, he was indeed the best candidate at this time.
Heming Taoist Palace established an earthly Taoist state in Hanzhong and used a mixture of ghosts and Taoism to govern the people, which was a huge impact on the Han Dynasty.
If you are not careful, you will become the enemy of the world just like Yuan Shu later.
That would undoubtedly be fatal to this weak regime.
But if Yu Xian takes charge of this matter as a national master, it will be more or less justified in terms of face.
After all, Yu Xian was an official in the Han Dynasty system who held a silver seal and a green ribbon. As a national advisor with two thousand stone, he was more than enough to compete with the prefect of Hanzhong County with two thousand stone.
As long as we can get over it, before the war between the feudal lords ends, no one will be free to come for an expedition.
It's no wonder that Zhang Laodao couldn't wait to send someone to greet him.
Zhang Lu saw that Yu Xian agreed, and then warned, "It is said that the wine sacrifice and the military division's wine sacrifice must be coordinated with the national master's wine sacrifice to protect our retreat. Otherwise, even if we go to the middle of Sichuan to wipe out the mountains, we will not change the wind."
It’s the soil of vulgarity.”
Zhang Lu's words immediately made Yu Xian murmur.
Guo Jia, as the military advisor and in charge of military affairs, has a transcendent status. Zhang Xiu is all about sacrificing wine, and he respects him the most. However, Zhang Lu also explicitly asked Yu Xian to arbitrate secular affairs. Wouldn't there be many conflicts between them?
This old guy... isn't he a fake honest person?
Guo Jia was determined to get rid of the matter of practicing the ghost way. Even if the other party was Yu Xian, whom he hated extremely, he didn't care much and attended the meeting immediately to accept the promise.
Zhang Xiu's eyes flickered, he looked at Zhang Lu, and said sincerely, "There is one thing that the little demon needs to explain to the Imperial Master in front of everyone. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be resentment in the future."
Zhang Lu didn't answer and looked at Yu Xian.
Yu Xian immediately asked, "I don't know what's the matter? They all talk about sacrificial wine, so just say so."
Only then did Zhang Xiu turn his gaze from Zhang Lu to Yu Xian and said.
"It is certainly an ambitious act to teach people to transform ghosts into Taoism. But the barbarians under my command, Xiaoyao, have been influenced by this since childhood. The barbarians are stupid and not very enlightened. If they continue to stay in the counties, I am afraid that they will
If trouble occurs, it is better to call them back to the Dingjunshan camp. As a disciple of Jijiu, I will definitely fulfill my duties, teach them Taoism every day, and guide them back to the right path."
When Guo Jia heard this, he couldn't help but let out a laugh and interjected, "Everyone talks about offering wine to bring all the barbarians back to Dingjun Mountain, so wouldn't I, Guo Fengxiao, become an idler?"
Zhang Xiu shook his head and said, "Otherwise, there are still some Taoist soldiers available in each county, and it is not difficult to maintain order and stability. The military advisor can also recruit troops on his own after the wine ceremony to replenish the number of troops. Otherwise, once they learn about today's events, they will
Mutinies are breaking out in various places. Even if we work together to suppress them, the nine counties in Hanzhong will be devastated."
When Guo Fengxiao heard this, he didn't answer.
Recalling the barbarian soldiers and demon masters from all counties to Dingjun Mountain can certainly maintain temporary stability, but it also allows Zhang Xiu to regain control of his strength. He is blameless in educating the barbarian soldiers as a minister of wine.
matter.
Once the battle between Heming Taoist Palace and the Ghost King of the Ten Grounds is frustrated, and even some advanced Taoists die, the barbarian soldiers gathered in Dingjun Mountain may start a rebellion at any time and stab him in the back.
Zhang Lu wanted to use Guo Jia to strip Zhang Xiu of his military power, but he didn't want Zhang Xiu's grand words to hit the weakness of Heming Taoist Palace.
Heming Taoist Palace lacks secular power. Although these Taoists can kill Zhang Xiu, but in this way, the entire situation in Hanzhong will be completely out of control.
In this case, it would be better to take advantage of this short period of calm and let Yu Xian and Guo Jia control the nine counties of Hanzhong as much as possible.
