Collapse, surrender to me!

It is indeed illegal.

This was Zhang Jue giving him face.

He gritted his teeth and held out five fingers.

"This number."

"Five hundred taels of silver?" Zhang Jue frowned.

But if I grit my teeth, I can get the whole thing for my brother.

"Return all the things you collected via the same route, and I'll take the money for you."

"No... not silver, but five hundred gold."

"? Is the daughter of the Li family inlaid with gold?!"

This time, Zhang Jue really couldn't hold it back anymore and almost uttered a curse word from the mouth of the Great and Sage Master.

Five hundred gold, converted into modern purchasing power, is almost equivalent to five million.

In Zhang Jiao's opinion, the Li family was either selling their daughter or deliberately making things difficult for Zhang Bao.

So what if he is General Digong? Is he worthy of my daughter from the Li family?

"..."

Zhang Jue finally suppressed his emotions, thought for a while and asked.

"Are you and Miss Li in love?"

"No, she thinks I'm a rough guy and looks down on me. My father-in-law is a good man. Let's get along with each other first. Maybe he will discover my good points after a long time."

"..."

Zhang Jue opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Usually Zhang Bao is quite clever, but now, he has obviously turned into a bootlicker.

“Brother, I actually didn’t enjoy myself. I ate ordinary meals most of the time. The luxurious mansion rumored outside was also prepared for Miss Li in the future.”

"..."

Zhang Jue took a breath of cold air.

To be honest, it would be better for the second brother to be corrupt and greedy for money, so that he would still have the confidence to persuade him.

As a result, you now say that you work hard to embezzle money just to be a bootlicker, which is beyond Zhang Jiao's understanding.

Chapter 484: The Yellow Turbans End, Liu Hong Dies, Lei Gong Helps Me Choose a New Emperor

Zhang Jue felt that he understood his brothers very well.

Even if the other person was really well-educated and well-mannered, he wouldn't be able to be so obsessed with Zhang Bao.

At the end of the questioning, Zhang Bao only said one sentence.

"Brother, I don't want my children to be like me."

"..."

It’s a pity that Zhang Jiao has never watched Let the Bullets Fly.

Otherwise, his current mood might be somewhat similar to that of Zhang Muzhi, who led his brothers to overthrow Mr. Huang's blockhouse with great difficulty, but in the end he was the only one left.

This was not Zhang Bao's own idea, but many people had the same idea.

For a moment, Zhang Jiao felt that there was nothing he could do to save the situation.

"How about I start a school?"

Zhang Bao didn't say anything, his eyes were a little evasive.

The Han Dynasty was not without schools. Many aristocratic families also opened schools. They not only admitted their own disciples, but also recruited some good talents from an early age.

But Zhang Baoke had no confidence that his son was a genius picked out of a million.

It is very difficult for children from poor families to make a name for themselves.

When Zhang Jiao set up a school, he could mostly only teach students how to read.

Although he is now General Digong, those noble families still look down on him.

After all this time, only the Li family was willing to give him a chance.

Of course he was angry.

If it had been during the early stages of the uprising, these guys would have been chopped to pieces long ago.

He did kill a lot.

But now, that spirit has dissipated.

This is also the reason why Zhang Jue sighed.

"Second brother."

He spoke earnestly.

"The noble families are our enemies. This has never changed. My compromise now is just a temporary measure. When the time is right, even those families that have surrendered to us now will have their teeth ripped out."

Do you want to be an enemy of Big Brother?

Just when Zhang Jue was about to pressure his younger brother again.

Suddenly someone outside came with a message, Zhang Ping asked him to go to the meeting room after talking to Zhang Bao, as there was an urgent matter.

Zhang Jue was a little confused.

But when I arrived at the meeting room, I found that it was full.

All the generals, captains, and all the famous Yellow Turbans had come.

If you don’t know, you would think that he was Zhang Jiao celebrating his 60th birthday.

"What happened."

Zhang Jiao's heart sank and he had a bad feeling.

Zhang Ping said nothing and handed Zhang Jue a scroll of imperial edict.

Great and Good Teacher Zhang Jue:

I have heard that the world does not belong to one person, but is shared by all the people.

The work of an emperor is based on benevolence and virtue, and education comes first, which cannot be achieved by harsh policies and severe punishments.

Today the world is in turmoil and people’s lives are suffering. I am deeply worried.

I have recently heard that you advocate peace, cure diseases and save people, and you have a kind heart. However, your actions have disturbed the world, causing the lives of the people to be destroyed and the people to be separated and in chaos, which is not what the world wants to see.

If you can abandon evil and do good, and submit to the court, I am willing to grant you a high position and generous salary, restart the system of provincial governors, and appoint the governor of Jizhou, so that you can implement benevolent policies, assist the court, and help the world.

I hope you will consider the will of heaven, care about the people, and submit as soon as possible.

I will not pursue any of your past crimes. You can obey the emperor's edict and serve the country.

Only in this way can the people of the country be united, the four seas be peaceful, and the people live and work in peace.

I hope you will understand and surrender as soon as possible.

Edict of Emperor Ling of Han.

"..."

Zhang Jue glanced at Zhang Ping.

How could they call everyone together for something like this?! They should have informed him in advance!

It seemed that he could sense Zhang Jue's reproach.

Zhang Ping stretched out his hand helplessly.

He also had a scroll of imperial edict in his hand.

Even everyone present had it in their hands.

The contents are very different. They are both documents of surrender, but the promised official positions are different.

Zhang Jue's eyelids twitched.

This Emperor Ling is really unreliable.

Everyone in the family has a copy of the surrender document.

Now Zhang Jue finally understood why they all came together.

Who wouldn't be nervous when holding a document of surrender in hand?

If Zhang Jue misunderstood me and thought I was going to rebel, I would die unjustly.

Moreover, what if Zhang Jiao decides to surrender to the imperial court?

Now the military and political power of a state is divided between the governor and the prefect.

The governor of a province was like a local emperor and could even appoint officials within his own territory.

Many people were moved.

"You all want me to accept the amnesty?!"

People's hearts were in turmoil and Zhang Jiao closed his eyes.

He didn't say yes, nor did he say no.

Instead, he dismissed everyone and said he wanted to wait and see.

……

"Can you help me change my appearance?"

Zhang Jue asked.

It would be best if others couldn’t even recognize me as a great and virtuous teacher.

"piece of cake."

Grayshu agreed to Zhang Jue's small request.

The next moment, Zhang Jue turned into a girl in yellow clothes.

"..."

Zhang Jue was a little surprised, but didn't care too much.

He began to travel to various counties in Jizhou and go deep into the people.

It doesn’t matter whether he accepts the amnesty or not, and it doesn’t matter whether his former comrades want to fight or not.

He wanted to hear what the people of Jizhou thought now.

At this time, with the promotion of some people, almost all the people in Jizhou knew about the imperial court's order of grace.

"I wonder if the Great Sage Master will be recruited..."

"I don't know. Whether we accept it or not, we can't take back the land we have distributed."

"I think it's good to be recruited. At least we don't have to fight. We can finally live in peace."

Most people believed that Emperor Ling of Han's surrender of Zhang Jue showed that he was willing to restore social order through reconciliation and reduce war and people's suffering.

These people supported Emperor Ling of Han's move, believing that only by ending the war could the people live and work in peace.

Of course, many people have not forgotten how unreliable Emperor Ling of Han was.

But the governor of Jizhou is the great and virtuous teacher, and the leader has not changed. Just by giving face to the court, peace can be gained. Why not do it?

Zhang Jue traveled around, using the cuteness of young girls to find out what people thought.

Unexpectedly, there were many people who supported him in accepting the amnesty.

It’s not that these people have forgotten him as a great and wise teacher.

On the contrary, they felt that accepting the amnesty would be a good thing for them.

But in the final analysis, it can all be summed up in two words.
