Han Dao world

Chapter 483
"Yuanxiu, you are worrying too much." Zhang Xi reluctantly put away the uneasiness in his heart, half to comfort Zhang Ze, and half to comfort himself. "Situ spent his land in Guanzhong to resettle the newly immigrated Liangzhou people and the returning Guanzhong people. He did not deprive the land that has not been changed. Although the emperor is young, he has quite a city. He will not make a big move at this time. , making people panic."

"Really?" Zhang Ze was skeptical.

"If you don't believe me, just go to Guanzhong and take a look." Zhang Xi smiled. "There are many strong ministers around the emperor, why did he send Situ to preside over the field? Naturally, he has taken a fancy to Situ Laocheng."

Zhang Ze nodded slightly, his face relaxed a little, and he was silent.

"How about you, come with me?" Zhang Xi struck while the iron was hot, and extended the invitation again.

Zhang was noncommittal. "I heard that the Son of Heaven recruited the Baibo Army in Hedong, and the Black Mountain Army in Shangdang?"

"That's true. Now the main forces of the Hedong and Shangdang farms are the Baibo Army and the Black Mountain Army. They have eliminated hidden dangers and obtained household registration. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone." Zhang Xi stroked his beard, a little proud, as if he was the real enabler. "Hedong and Shangdang can restore stability so quickly, which has a lot to do with this policy."

"Then does the imperial court intend to recruit Zhang Lu?"

After Zhang Xilue thought about it, he guessed what Zhang Ze meant.

He doesn't know whether Tianshi Dao and Taiping Dao are in the same line, but it is a fact that what Tianshi Dao does is completely different from Taiping Dao.Even in the Bashu area where Tianshi Dao is the most powerful, Tianshi Dao did not have large-scale armed riots. Instead, some people made troubles in the name of the Yellow Turban.

Now that Zhang Lu occupies Hanzhong, although he also attacked and killed the prefect Su Gu and his party member Zhang Xiu, to the common people, they are quite peaceful.They promoted morality and called on the people to follow the Tao, which on the contrary played a significant role in the stability of Hanzhong.

If the imperial court intends to recruit Zhang Lu, Hanzhong will naturally become an area under the imperial court's jurisdiction, and there will be no need for large-scale adjustments.It would be even better if Zhang Lu could continue to serve as the prefect of Hanzhong.

"I was ordered to appease Yizhou, and recruiting Zhang Lu is the meaning of the question. Yuanxiu, would you recommend me?"

Zhang Ze smiled and nodded.

When the two looked at each other and smiled, Zhang Xi felt a little anxious in his heart.It would be great if Yuan Shao could bow his head and proclaim himself a minister and enter the court to take charge of the government.However, Yuan Shao was like a bull, determined to go his own way, and he would not give up until his head was smashed.

-

Zhang Ze has successively served as Erqianshi, and he is a well-deserved celebrity and important minister in Nanzheng. It is easy to see Zhang Lu.

Zhang Lu controlled Hanzhong, so he naturally knew about Sikong and Zhang Xi's arrival, including Zhang Xi's meeting with Zhang Ze.He never showed up, just wanted to see what Zhang Xi wanted to do.Now Zhang Ze came forward and said that the imperial court intended to recruit peace, and he was finally relieved.

Although he doesn't think the court has the strength to attack Hanzhong now, he still hopes to live in peace with the court and avoid confrontation with swords and soldiers.

Zhang Lu warmly received Zhang Xi, expressing inside and outside the words that he never intended to separate himself from one side, but only to protect the environment and the people.

Zhang Xi didn't expose him either. In fact, Zhang Lu did not commit any blatant disobedience.When Li Jue and Guo Si were in chaos, Zhang Lu even helped the court.It's just that Liu Yan was still alive at that time, and Zhang Lu was regarded as Liu Yan's subordinate.

Zhang Xi said with a smile: "Master holds a sword in one hand, and scriptures in the other, manages the government and calms the people, and cultivates the Tao quietly. His good life is enviable."

Zhang Lu laughed and waved his hands quickly. "Sikong praised me, I dare not take it for granted. Although I follow the way of my father and ancestors, my talent is limited, my heart is not strong, and I still need to be tempered. As for governance, it is not my specialty. It is just that the people in Hanzhong are simple, and there are crouching tigers. With the assistance of a famous official like Gong, it is barely possible to keep one side safe."

"Master, the Son of Heaven is also good at Taoism."

Zhang Lu was taken aback, raised his eyelids, and took a sized look at Zhang Xi. "The Son of Heaven... good way?"

Zhang Xi nodded solemnly.He didn't call Zhang Lu the prefect, but the Fujun, just to bring up this topic.

"As early as the Battle of Huayin, the Son of Heaven sent General Yang Feng of the Left to go to Hedong to invite Taoist priests to discuss the Tao. Later, he went north and passed through Baibo Valley, and asked carefully. However, no one in the Baibo army dared to fight. So far It is a pity."

Zhang Lu smiled.Although the Baibo army is another branch of the Yellow Turban, they have nothing to do with the Taiping Dao, and it is normal to find no one who can discuss the Dao with the emperor.

"Mr. Zhang, who did the Son of Heaven learn from?"

"The way of the Son of Heaven is not taught by someone, but obtained by the sky." Zhang Xi said solemnly: "Do you know that there was a vision in the sky that night, with red energy penetrating the Purple Palace, from southeast to northwest?"

Zhang Lu nodded again and again, and even Zhang Ze lifted his spirits.Although they were in Hanzhong, they also heard about this incident, but they were just hearsay and could not believe it.Hearing Zhang Xi, who was ranked third now, naturally no longer have any doubts.

"After that night, the emperor, who had never asked questions before, suddenly became very interested in Taoism. Although he failed to ask Yang Feng, he still read Taoism books frequently. If Master has a chance to meet him, he may be able to discuss morality with the emperor. Seek the way."

Zhang Lu became interested. "If there is such an opportunity, it would be great."

Zhang Xi said again: "Master may not be aware that Cai Yan, Cai Bojie's daughter, is now serving as Ling Shi by the emperor's side. She has little inheritance from her family, and she also has a lot of research on "Five Thousand Words of Lao Tzu."

"Really?" Zhang Lu was deeply surprised, and his heart was suddenly moved.

Cai Yong is a great Confucian, he bypassed the door, he knew this before.Although Cai Yong is dead now, Cai Yan is by the side of the emperor, discussing Taoism with the emperor every day, presumably his attainments in Taoism are not bad.

He has practiced Taoism for many years, but his progress has been limited. Not to mention the realm of his grandfather Zhang Ling, even the realm of his father Zhang Heng and his mother Mrs. Lu is beyond his reach.It is of course the best if you can communicate with your fellow practitioners and get some insights.

Especially when this fellow Taoist is still the Son of Heaven.

Zhang Lu decided to send people to travel, profess his ministers to the court, and discuss the Tao with the emperor to see how high the emperor's cultivation in Taoism is.

Zhang Xi couldn't ask for more.

Zhang Lu became a minister, and his trip to Yizhou was a success.

Joyfully, Zhang Xi talked about the news about the emperor's visit to Liangzhou, especially the establishment of the women's army.After more than a year of training, although the size of the women's army is small, it has confirmed the emperor's vision.After proper training, women, like men, can also serve in the army.

Since he can join the army, he can naturally do other things.

Zhang Xi regards this as the emperor's act of enshrining Tao and balancing yin and yang.

Although Zhang Ze felt that it was a bit of a joke for women to be officials and soldiers, he was still satisfied with the emperor's step-by-step advancement.This solved at least one of his worries. Although the Son of Heaven was young, he was not reckless, and he was even more patient than many adults.

Zhang Ze accepted Zhang Xi's invitation and decided to accompany Zhang Xi to Chengdu.

Zhang Xi was overjoyed, and immediately wrote a letter to the emperor to show his merits.
