Chapter 1116 The Three Immortals at the End of the Han Dynasty
Seeing the official being dragged down by the Jinwu Guards, many officials present were shocked. Even though Chu Yi was sitting there without speaking, everyone could see that if it weren't for Chu Yi's support, no matter whether it was Chu Yi or not.
Neither Jia Xu nor Xun Yu could have such confidence.
It was even more impossible for He Miao to support Xun Yu and Jia Xu like that. As the official was dragged down, naturally no one dared to jump out and speak for Liu Yan at this time.
Looking around at everyone, He said: "Since you have no objections, the treatment of Yizhou Mu has been decided. The imperial court immediately sent an order to Liu Yan, ordering him to quickly go to the soldiers to bear thorns to plead guilty. The imperial court can
Open one side of the net and spare one of them, otherwise the army will come and kill him without mercy."
After saying this, Mrs. He glanced at Chu Yi who was sitting there, and saw that Chu Yi was motionless and didn't even move his eyelids. Mrs. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Chu Yi can be regarded as the backer of their mother and son, Chu Yi's power is too strong, especially now that Chu Yi has the power of military and horse power. If Chu Yi is willing, he can even depose the emperor at any time. How can this not let He
When he faced Chu Yi, he felt quite trembling in his heart.
The imperial meeting dispersed, and all the officials dispersed in twos and threes. Naturally, the court's treatment of the two feudal lords, Liu Biao and Liu Yan, was well known.
Suddenly, I don’t know how many eyes were cast in the direction of Jingxiang and Yizhou.
That's all Liu Biao. Although he was removed from the post of Jingzhou Mu, he still got the position of Zongzheng in the royal family, which can be regarded as a noble position. But as Yizhou Mu, he is now the local bully in Yizhou.
If Liu Yan really obeyed the imperial court's decree, he would have been knocked straight from the clouds into the mire.
The gap from a prince who dominates a country to a commoner is really huge. No one would think that Liu Yan would obey the imperial court's orders honestly and give up his position as the king of a country to come to the capital to plead guilty.
Two teams of small Huangmen went straight from the capital to Jingxiang and Yizhou, but the news spread all over the world in a very short period of time, as if they had grown wings. The imperial edict had not yet arrived, but the news had already spread.
Went to Liu Biao and Liu Yan.
Let’s talk about Liu Biao first. The deaths of Yuan Shao and Liu Xie can be said to have brought great pressure and shock to Liu Biao. Liu Biao did have some ambitions in his heart, but this ambition was suddenly given away by Chu Yi before it could develop and grow.
Crush.
If Liu Biao unified all the prefectures and counties in Jingxiang, and then combined with Liu Yan who was entrenched in Yizhou, he might not be able to compete with the imperial court. Unfortunately, Liu Biao did not have time to integrate the entire power of Jingxiang, so he only relied on Jingxiang.
How could Liu Biao, who had just barely controlled several counties with the strength of the Xiang family, have the confidence to confront the powerful imperial court?
In the hall, Liu Biao looked at Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, and Wenpin, with a look of dejection on his face and said: "Everyone, I think everyone knows the imperial decree. After I return to Beijing this time, Jing Xiang will
I leave the land to you."
Cai Mao's face was full of unwillingness. The Cai family finally seized the opportunity to marry Liu Biao. They were thinking of using their marriage with Liu Biao to penetrate the influence of the Cai family into the counties of Jingxiang and make the Cai family worthy of the name of Jingxiang.
A wealthy family.
As a result, unexpectedly, the imperial court suddenly rose to prominence, and a ferocious god like Chu Yi appeared, who was so stunned that he was able to turn the world around and continue to be a powerful man.
Compared with Cai Mao, who was unwilling to give up, Kuai Yue and others showed a somewhat relaxed look on their faces. With the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, some people with a long-term vision saw the nature of the Han Dynasty, so many aristocratic families relied on their instincts.
Start layout.
The Kuai Yue brothers naturally welcomed and supported Liu Biao, so they immediately stood up and supported Liu Biao when Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou.
However, the fundamental purpose of the Kuai Yue brothers' investment in Liu Biao was to develop and grow the family, not to lead the family to death.
Everyone can see that based on the strength Liu Biao currently possesses compared with the imperial court, once he chooses to fight against the imperial court, it is tantamount to throwing an egg at a stone. I am afraid that when the imperial army arrives, Liu Biao will be executed.
And these wealthy families who chose to attach themselves to Liu Biao will inevitably be liquidated by the imperial court, just like Chu Yi massacred dozens of wealthy families who supported Yuan Shao and Liu Xie in Chang'an City.
You must know that those wealthy families have much stronger foundations than the Kuai family. Even these wealthy families were wiped out because of the issue of taking sides. With such a lesson learned, it would be strange if the Kuai family was willing to fight against the imperial court with Liu Biao.
Therefore, both Kuai Yue and the unwilling Cai Mao made the wisest choice after calming down, which was to obey the imperial decree. Even if Liu Biao persisted and wanted to occupy Jingzhou, they would have no choice but to be ruthless.
, captured Liu Biao first.
In the face of family survival, all friendships must be put on the sidelines. This is the way for a big family to survive.
Looking at each other, Kuai Yue took a step forward, bowed respectfully to Liu Biao and said: "Your Excellency is valued by the imperial court, and I have been selected as the Zongzong of the royal family. It can be said to be extremely noble. I would like to congratulate you in advance."
Cai Mao and Wenpin all congratulated Liu Biao.
The little extravagant hope that remained in Liu Biao's heart disappeared. While his heart was bitter, an inexplicable feeling of relief arose spontaneously.
"Hahaha, after I enter the capital, I will definitely recommend you to the imperial court. I think the imperial court will know how to make good use of you. I would like to wish you a prosperous career and a bright future."
With the decision made in his heart, Liu Biao calmly waited for the officials sent by the court to replace him. The whole land of Jingxiang was peaceful, and even the rebellions in some places disappeared without a trace.
On the contrary, in the land of Yizhou, after receiving the news, King Liu Yan of Han Dynasty became furious and smashed the study into a mess.
Liu Yan, who had regained some sense, immediately summoned a group of confidants and passed on the orders one after another. He raised his vigilance at every checkpoint to be on guard against the imperial army at any time.
At the same time, Zhang Lu, who was entrenched in Hanzhong, also came to Yizhou to meet Liu Yan.
Zhang Lu, who was already independent from Yizhou, could be regarded as a prince. In addition, Liu Yan now asked Zhang Lu for help, so he naturally received Zhang Lu grandly.
In the palace, Liu Yan looked at Zhang Lu, who was wearing a Taoist robe, and said solemnly: "Whether your family and I can survive this disaster safely depends on whether the Heavenly Master can get rid of the traitor Chu Yi."
Liu Yan said with an expectant look on his face: "Not to mention the three immortals of the Taoist sect, the name of the Celestial Master is no less than that of the demon Dao Zhang Jiao. It is expected that if the Celestial Master takes action, he will definitely be able to get rid of the Chu thieves."
Zhang Lu was not flattered by Liu Yan's words, but he kept calm enough. He glanced at Liu Yan, slowly shook his head and said: "The words of the King of Han are wrong. Zhang's words are worse than those of Zhang Lu."
Zhang Jiao is far behind, let alone those immortals who are free from the world."
Liu Yan waved his hand, stared at Zhang Lu and said: "I only ask the Heavenly Master if there is a way to get rid of Chu Yi. Otherwise, even if I lose my life, there is a precedent of the Yellow Turban Zhang Jiao. The Heavenly Master spread the Five Pecks of Rice Cult widely in Hanzhong.
I’m afraid it won’t be easy for the Heavenly Master either.”
Zhang Lu sighed in his heart, if he hadn't been so worried, how could he have come to Yizhou to see Liu Yan under Chu Yi's intimidation.
Zhang Lu knew clearly in his heart that the imperial court would never allow the Five Dou Rice Sect to exist. After all, the Yellow Turban Rebellion left a deep impression on the Han Dynasty. Nowadays, any sect is the target of the imperial court's suppression, especially the Taoist sect.
middle man.
According to the information Zhang Lu received, the imperial court even sent personnel to secretly keep an eye on the whereabouts of several hermit masters from the Taoist sect, which shows that the imperial court was afraid of the Taoist sect.
A look of struggle and hesitation flashed across his face, and Zhang Lu said: "I will write it in handwriting to several immortal masters. As for whether they will come forward to deal with Chu Yi, that is beyond my control."
Liu Yan showed a bit of joy on his face and said with a smile: "I believe that these immortal masters will definitely make the right choice."
But Zhang Lu had a worried look on his face. He was not as optimistic as Liu Yan. No matter it was Yu Ji, Zuo Ci, Nan Hua, or Zixu, he had no confidence that he could convince anyone.
In an unknown valley, a simple thatched house is located among the mountains and rivers. It is in harmony with nature and looks so harmonious and natural.
However, a Taoist priest slowly walked out of the thatched house and looked towards the valley with a solemn expression.
A figure appeared in the sight of the Taoist. When the Taoist saw the figure, his eyes couldn't help but shrink, and even his peaceful state of mind was a little turbulent.
Chu Yi walked leisurely in the courtyard, coming slowly as if taking a leisurely stroll, but every step he took covered a distance of tens of feet. In just a few ups and downs, he appeared from the valley more than ten feet away from the Taoist.
Taoist Nan Hua took a deep breath, with a somewhat solemn look on his face, and slowly saluted, "Taoist Nan Hua of Shan Ye has met His Highness the King of Chu."
This Taoist is none other than the old immortal Nanhua, one of the three immortals in the late Han Dynasty.
Chu Yi looked at Taoist Nanhua. In Chu Yi's induction, although Taoist Nanhua was standing there, his whole person was erratic, as if he might disappear from the induction at any time.
Although I have known for a long time that the three immortals of the late Han Dynasty were all extraordinary people, I never thought that Nanhua Taoist's cultivation level could be so high.
However, Chu Yi is not afraid of Taoist Nanhua. Even if the opponent is at the pinnacle of this world, what will happen? As long as he is willing to consume his luck, suppressing a strong man like Taoist Nanhua is just a matter of how much luck he consumes.
Therefore, facing the Nanhua Taoist, Chu Yi seemed to be very confident. Moreover, Chu Yi could mobilize many strong men. Perhaps one or two generals could not do anything to the Nanhua Taoist. If Chu Yi was serious, he would dispatch Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, and Lu Bu.
, Xu Chu, Guan Yu, these peerless generals, any two of them are enough to give Nanhua Taoist a headache, and even if there are more, they may not be able to surround and kill them on the spot.
Chu Yi smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Chu came here uninvited, Taoist priest, don't be surprised!"
Nanhua Taoist looked calm and said: "Your Highness is here. I am honored to be here. I wonder if your Highness has any advice."
Chu Yi smiled and said: "I don't take advice seriously. It's just that Chu is obsessed with Taoism and heard that the Taoist priest has profound Taoist knowledge and is a great sage in the Taoist sect, so he took the liberty to come here and would like to discuss Taoism with the Taoist priest in order to improve himself."
After glancing at Chu Yi, Taoist Nanhua led Chu Yi into the hut, stretched out his hand to guide Chu Yi, and two futons fell to the ground, and he saw Taoist Nanhua sitting cross-legged on the futons.
Chu Yi sat with a smile and looked at Taoist Nanhua with interest.
Taoism can be said to be the foundation of Nanhua Taoism. I asked myself if I could crush the opponent with Chu Yi when discussing Taoism. However, I never thought that when Chu Yi opened his mouth, Nanhua Taoist was stunned.
Although the Taoist theory in today's world has been very perfect through the efforts of the sages of the past generations, how can it compare to Chu Yi, who stands on the shoulders of many Taoist sages.
After thousands of years of development, the Taoist doctrines of later generations can be said to be in full bloom, and many of the doctrines are beyond the imagination of Nanhua Taoists, so Nanhua Taoists were directly suppressed by Chu Yi.
The discussion between the two people directly became the scene of Chu Yi's sermon. Although there was no vision of flowers falling from the sky and golden lotuses sprouting from the ground, Nanhua Taoist learned a lot from the Taoism of later generations taught by Chu Yi, which directly touched the bottleneck of cultivation.
, the vitality of heaven and earth was stirred by it, and it could be said that there were many strange phenomena. Even Chu Yi couldn't help but secretly praise the talent of Nanhua Taoist.
The thunder rolling above Jiutian seemed to be pulled by Nanhua Taoist's Qi machine. However, as Nanhua Taoist suppressed the Qi machine in his body, he looked at Jiutian with regret, then gave Chu Yi a big salute and said respectfully: "
Now that I have received guidance from my Taoist friends, once I have attained the Tao, I will die later!"
How could Chu Yi not see that Nanhua Taoist had already pushed past the threshold of cultivation bottleneck, but there was a gap in this world, which no longer allowed strong men like Nanhua Taoist to go further.
It's okay if you don't break through. Once you break through, the thunder will come, and even a strong person like Nanhua Taoist will fall under the thunder of the sky. This is why Nanhua Taoist said that if you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening.
The reason why the Nine Heavens Thunder has not descended now is that Taoist Nanhua took back the foot he took out at the last moment. However, the bottleneck has been broken, and even if Taoist Nanhua suppresses it, he cannot suppress it for long.
In other words, because of Chu Yi's Taoism, Taoist Nanhua will soon die. It seems that Chu Yi has harmed Taoist Nanhua. However, Taoist Nanhua regards Chu Yi as his benefactor who pointed out his path.
As the saying goes, if you hear the Tao in the morning, you may die in the evening.
For those who seek the Tao, apart from the Tao, life and death are not important.
Seeing that his whole body is full of Taoism, he looks like he is about to transform into Taoism.

He regarded Chu Yi as his benefactor who guided him on his path.
