Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 770
Seeing Xun Yu fiddling with a set of tea sets in front of him, and smelling the fragrant scent on his body, Liu Xie could only try his best to put on an elegant appearance—he knew that Xun Yu was a man of real taste .

If it wasn't for seeing Xun Yu, Liu Xie would have felt a little bit of contempt for such a thing as a man's incense.But when Xun Yu, a gentle and courteous person, stood in front of him and said a few words with his calm and gentle movements and refreshing words, Liu Xie felt that the smell of incense on Xun Yu's body was also very pleasant. There is a feeling of intoxication.

This is the charm brought out by a person's self-cultivation.

Even, Liu Xie discovered long ago that some of Chang'an's own literati have also begun to burn incense.Just because this Xun Yu was the one who started it, the scholars all felt that this style was very elegant, and rushed to imitate it first.Liu Xie has to admit that the Xun family in Yingchuan is still the largest family with huge influence.Among them, Xun Yu, who is the best, can affect that person without any trace as long as he has visited someone.

For my own son, it would be the best if this Xun Yu was the crown prince and tutor—it's a pity that looking at Xun Yu's current state, it seems that he needs to work hard to lure him over.

"Wudou Rice Sect is also called Tianshidao. Its founder is Zhang Lu's grandfather Zhang Ling, also known as Zhang Daoling. The word Fu Han, a native of Peiguofeng County, is said to be the ninth grandson of Liuhou Zhang Liang, who was born in Tianmu Mountain, Wu County. There are few people here. A little proficient in the Five Classics, once entered the Imperial Academy, promoted the virtuous and upright, and later served as the governor of Jiangzhou in Berkshire. Soon he abandoned his official position and lived in Beimanshan, Luoyang." Pushing a cup of tea to Liu Xie and Yang Song, Xun Yu began to tell Liu Xie about the Five Fights The past and present of Mijiao.

"During the reign of Emperors Zhang and He, the imperial court failed in many conquests. Zhang Ling was obsessed with Taoism, and he and his disciple Wang Changzhang went to the Huaihe River, traveled back to Yunjin Mountain via Poyang to practice alchemy, cultivated the way of longevity, and achieved alchemy in three years. He heard that the miasma in Bashu was harmful, so he and his disciples went to Heming Mountain in Shu County to preach."

"In the sixth year of Yonghe, Zhang Ling wrote 24 Taoist scriptures, calling himself "Taiqing Xuanyuan". In the same year, he was awarded "French for the Essentials of Zhengyi Science" and "The Wonderful Sutra of Zhengyi League", and he was given the title of "Three-day Master Zhengyi Zhenren". Since then, Wudou Rice Sect was founded. "

"After the sect was established, Zhang Ling pursued dissemination, so he used talisman water and mantras to heal people's diseases, and taught the people the method of boiling salt with salty well water, known as 'Lingjing'. The common people benefited from it, and the number of disciples reached tens of thousands. Then set up sacrificial wine and divide their households, just like a butler. And establish a system, so that all disciples take turns to produce rice silk, utensils, firewood, etc. No punishment is imposed, and "govern people with good ways". For the crimes committed, the handwriting is thrown into the water, and the gods are allied with each other, and the crimes cannot be repeated, and life and death are the covenant."

After quietly listening to Xun Yu's words, Liu Xie nodded slightly.He knew a little about what Xun Yu said, but after all, he was new here and hadn't really experienced the humanities in Hanzhong.What I saw in a hurry along the way was that the place here in Hanzhong is quite prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

However, compared to the open and inclusive style of Guanzhong, Hanzhong is still relatively closed.Moreover, due to the ruling method of the Communist Party, they have some etiquette and taboos here. They are very tolerant to those who believe in the doctrine of five buckets of rice, and will accept people from any place in a friendly manner.But at the same time, they are the most demanding. If you touch their beliefs, they don't care about working hard.

It is this kind of tolerant acceptance that makes it easy for merchants in Guanzhong to open up business routes here.And because of the Guanzhong merchants' disbelief in Wudoumi, it was inevitable that the Han Dynasty and Zhang Lu would have a fight.Later, Zhang Lu's side signed a very shameful covenant under the city, which restored peace in Hanzhong.

However, such a failure also caused the influence of the Five Dou Rice Sect to decline somewhat.Liu Xie estimated that if things go on like this, if this matter cannot be properly resolved, it will inevitably lead to an endless decisive battle again.

While thinking about it, Liu Xie thought of this point, and suddenly asked: "Mr. Xun, if the Han Dynasty uses force to destroy the Five Dou Rice Sect, what will be the input and output?"

Yang Song, who was holding tea and drinking with a mournful face, did not expect Liu Xie to come up so fiercely. He was so frightened that he sprayed out the tea, and couldn't help howling: "Misfortune comes from the sky, misfortune comes from the sky! I knew it a long time ago." Those who are good in the Han Dynasty do not come, those who come are not good..."

Xun Yu may have used his own reputation to become a guest minister here with Yang Song, and he was more tolerant of Yang Song.But Liu Xie was never a humble person like Xun Yu. Not only was he not ashamed of taking over the magpie's nest, but he also felt that Yang Song was here to affect his mood, so he frowned and waved his hand slightly.

Xu Huang was delighted when he saw Liu Xie's action, and he patted Yang Song on the shoulder, holding the hundred-pound guy like a child: "Mr. Do something about you."

Xun Yu glanced lightly at Yang Song who was being carried out, and couldn't help showing a smile on his face.Liu Xie's questioning didn't mean much, but he also knew that there was a big difference between answering and not answering.After all, when Liu Xie opened his mouth, it meant that the monarch and his ministers were right, and he had already received many letters from Feng Xunyou, Zhong Yao and others.

Closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Xun Yu finally replied seriously: "Your Majesty, the Han Dynasty is strong, and all dangerous passes are in the hands of the Han army. To the Han Dynasty, this place is nothing but an enemy with its wolf belly exposed. In addition, there are special products such as salt wells and medicinal materials here, which are of great value. After acquiring Hanzhong, Your Majesty can dominate Yizhou and push the great cause of unification one step further.

"In this way, Mr. Xun is inclined to let me attack this place?" Liu Xie's eyes sparkled, and he seemed quite moved.

After the Hebei War, Guanzhong has been greatly restored and developed in more than a year.Although the Han officials in the outer dynasty are still obsessed with the general trend of the world, they are very good at rationalizing and educating the people.During the more than one year without war and chaos, they promoted a series of good governance, built water conservancy, reformed agricultural tools, promoted scientific planting methods, and developed commerce, which made the strength of the Han Dynasty develop at an extremely crazy speed.

In particular, Ma Chao forced Han Sui to retreat steadily in Liangzhou, and the goods from the Western Regions came to Chang'an again.The clever Lu Su bought them all, and then kept all kinds of plant seeds, books, weapons and other things in the goods, but changed hands and continued to sell things such as precious pearls and beautiful jade to earn money from the barbarians. The effect of money making money.

What I want to say here is that Liu Xie has never been a proud and extravagant emperor.Although he sometimes talks about ostentation, it's all for political needs. What he likes are only novel and interesting gadgets, and usually those things are not worth much.On this point, although some ministers criticized Liu Xie, Liu Xie never dismissed it. He knew what he was doing for food, and he would never get drunk or lose his mind.

Under such circumstances, the Han Dynasty, which occupied more than half of the territory at the end of the Han Dynasty and had the tenacious ability to recover and develop, might be an exaggeration to say that it was effortless to attack a small Hanzhong, but it would be difficult to say that it would be successful. That would be really unscientific.

Because of this, Liu Xie had the confidence to ask Xun Yu such a question because his waist is very hard now.

Now what Liu Xie considers is not whether he can subdue Hanzhong, but how to quickly and effectively subdue it.It's just that he didn't expect that, just when he thought Xun Yu had already given the answer, Xun Yu shook his head lightly and denied it: "Your Majesty, it is easy to take back the land, but it is extremely difficult to take back the heart. Hanzhong is different from other states and counties." It has been three generations since Wudoumi was founded, and Zhang Lu ruled Hanzhong and educated the people with morality for several years. Your Majesty won Hanzhong easily, but if you force the people here to return to the Han Dynasty, it will not be as easy as recovering the land of Hebei."

"If you don't take back the land, you have to take back your heart?" Liu Xie couldn't help squinting his eyes when he heard the words. Xun Yu's statement finally had the same effect as the result of his discussion with those confidants: "If you want to take back your heart, then follow Mr. Xun's advice." So, where to start?"

Xun Yu knew at this time that Liu Xie had been testing himself from the beginning to the end, but he was not annoyed by it, but helplessly raised his finger and said outside the hall: "Your Majesty has already made a plan to visit Hanzhong, so why bother?" Ask?"

Liu Xie was exposed to the truth by Xun Yu, but he didn't blush or pant, and replied brazenly: "It's not a test, sir, but I'm asking for advice. If this is the case, how can you not ask for doubts and clarifications?"

At this moment, Yang Song outside the hall was stunned by the rare treasures brought by Liu Xie, and couldn't help holding up a piece of jade that was as large as a foot and exclaimed happily: "Happiness has fallen from the sky, joy has fallen from the sky, this is really a rare treasure... ..."

Seeing this scene, Xun Yu couldn't help feeling stunned: "With such a greedy minister, how can Zhang Lu be undefeated?"

"If there were no corrupt ministers, how could the Han Dynasty take over their land and heart without a fight?" Liu Xie laughed, but a secret murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
