Chapter 276 Zhang Jin

At that time, Zhu Fu made a strong gift to the people, one yellow croaker, one dendrobium of rice harvested, and Jiaozhou was rich in pearls, big shells, wandering, emeralds, tortoise shells, rhinoceros, and elephant treasures. amazing wealth.

Therefore, the governor's department and the official residence where Zhu Fu usually lives and listens are extremely luxuriously built.The inner house is a combined hall with tiled halls, cornices and tails, Qingsuodan ridges, and rafters with jue titles.

Now these are all cheaper Zhang Jin.

At this time, Zhang Jin, wearing a crimson handkerchief and a yarn-woven robe, was sitting under the hall of the official residence. He was about forty years old, with a medium build, a thin face, and a beard that grew to his upper chest.

He is a native of Nanyang County. He once served in the shogunate of General He Jin, and conspired with Yuan Shao and others to plan to kill eunuchs and help the world.It's a pity that all their efforts were in vain because Dong Zhuo suddenly led his troops into Beijing.

And this is also the beginning of the shaking of the country and the chaos of the world. Zhang Jin still feels extremely regretful thinking about it.

What he didn't expect was that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who fought side by side and were intimate in the past, turned against each other and fought against each other.However, given the status of the two of them today, there is no room for them to back down.

How can there be two tigers in the Central Plains?

Zhang Jin is thousands of miles away, at ease, and had no intention of intervening in the dispute between the two.But Cao Cao was kind to him. If he hadn't obtained his approval back then, he wouldn't have had the chance to become the lord of a state.In addition, Cao Cao used the king's orders outside and great profits inside, which made it difficult for Zhang Jin to refuse.

In the past few days, Zhang Jin summoned all the generals to store food and fodder, everything was ready, and he just waited for the auspicious time to set off.And this auspicious time was determined by him through repeated divination, and it will be tomorrow.

Zhang Jin is not only good at "Book of Changes" and divination, but also "Tao Te Ching", especially "Five Thousand Essays of Lao Tzu" and "Tai Ping Dong Ji Jing" annotated by Taoist Zhang Daoling.The latter two are already Taoist books. Although Taoists say they are "treasure books", in the eyes of Confucians, they are tantamount to crooked ways and are denounced as "evil vulgarity".Especially after the Yellow Turban Rebellion caused by the Zhang Jiao brothers under the banner of Taoism during the Zhongping period, the dislike of Confucian scholars towards Taoism was aggravated.

Zhang Jin has studied Taoism for many years. When he was in the Central Plains, he lived inside and outside the capital, surrounded by Confucian scholars, so he had to restrain himself and dare not show it easily.But when he came to Jiaozhi, he no longer needed to hide it.

In the past, the people in Bashu believed in primitive witchcraft, and these evil spirits did everything in order to gather money and make big repairs.After the Taoist Zhang Daoling entered Shu, he passed on the precious scriptures from heaven, so that the people of Shu would no longer be invaded by evil spirits.

The land of Jiaozhou has long-distance mountains and rivers, different customs, the same language, and the people are like animals. The Han and barbarians here also believe in witchcraft. Compared with the land of Bashu, it is even worse.

Zhang Jin believed that the Confucian classics of the Han family were too profound, let alone the mountains and barbarians, even the Han people living in the cities might not be able to understand them.However, the entry threshold for Taoist scriptures is much lower, and it is more acceptable to the ignorant Han barbarians. Therefore, in order to better educate the people, Zhang Jin began to spread Taoist scriptures in Jiaozhou, and for this reason he did not hesitate to amend the established laws of the court.

His approach was strongly opposed by Shi Xie and other famous scholars in the north who avoided chaos in Jiaozhou, thinking that he was so obsessed with the Taoist scriptures that he had forgotten the words and teachings of Confucian sages, which is too absurd.

Zhang Jin didn't take it seriously, and remained the same, but today the world is in chaos, and the country is in turmoil. He is in Jiaozhi, and he can be called a prince. No one can force him to change the things he has decided.

Zhang Jin lighted the smoker next to the table slowly and gracefully, and the smoke flew out from the smoker, instantly filling the room with fragrance.

"Boom..."

Zhang Jin caressed the guqin in front of his body with both hands, and a melodious "Nie Zheng's Assassination of the King of Han" slowly flowed out along his fingers, and the magnificent and passionate tune lingered between the beams of the house.

As the name suggests, "Nie Zheng's Assassination of the King of Han" tells the tragic story of Nie Zheng's assassination of the King of Han in order to avenge the death of his father during the Warring States period, and then committed suicide.It also has another name that is more talked about - "Guangling San".

"Nie Zheng's Assassination of the King of Han" is a strange song, and there are very few people in the world who can play it. In order to get this rare piano song in the world, he used his precious books at home in exchange for it, and the price was unreasonable.But for him who likes to play the piano, he doesn't feel disadvantaged.

After playing one piece, Zhang Jin showed satisfaction on his face. "Nie Zheng's Assassination of the King of Han" is a large-scale piano piece. It is not easy to play it completely, and he did not make any mistakes during the period, which is very rare. .

At this time, a servant wearing a blue scarf came to the door and whispered: "Your envoy, Lord Shifu and all the generals have arrived at the main hall."

Hearing this, Zhang Jin got up calmly, went outside the door and took a car to the main hall.

Shi Xie and all the generals were waiting outside the hall. Shi Xie was over [-] years old this year, more than ten years older than Zhang Jin. Scholar-bureaucrats are no different.

Compared with Zhang Jin, who is wearing a crimson handkerchief and has no dignity, Shi Xie wears a Jiebei, crowned with Erliang Jinxian crown, and wears a black official robe, standing among the crowd like a chicken.

Among the people present, the civil servants were naturally headed by Shi Xie, while the military officials were headed by Qu Jing. He was a descendant of the Qu family of Changsha's rich family, and the elder brother of Ou Xiong and Ou Sheng.

His family's ancestors have served as military officers in Jiaozhou for generations. He came to Jiaozhou with his father when he was more than ten years old. After more than ten years of hard work, he is now quite famous in Jiaozhi, and has won the respect of the Han barbarians.He currently holds the post of Colonel Li Feng, and has thousands of elite Han soldiers under his command.

Zhang Jin can be regarded as a celebrity, he has been in the court and the public for many years, and he has a lot of intelligence and skills. He relied on Shi Xie to secure the position of governor, and then, in order to avoid being ostracized by Shi Xie, he quickly recruited generals such as Qu Jing.

He has the righteousness of the court, an official title, and the right to appoint, so he can have a good time among Shi Xie, Qu Jing and others.

"My lord..." Seeing Zhang Jin getting off the car, Shi Xie, Qu Jing and others bowed in unison.

Zhang Jin stepped forward to help Shi Xie. The latter is not only the biggest local snake in Jiaozhou, but also a talented elder. Naturally, he should be given enough respect.

Zhang Jin held Shi Xie's hand, walked towards the hall, and said: "After Gu leads the army northward, Jiaozhou will be handed over to you."

Shi Xie said with a worried look on his face: "Your Majesty, Liu Jingzhou will sweep south of Jingzhou. It is a foregone conclusion. Our Jiaozhou is vast and sparsely populated, and there are many barbarians. It is far less rich and powerful than Jingzhou. The army in your hand is no more than ten thousand people, only Jingzhou The army is only eleven, and it is invincible."

Zhang Jin said disapprovingly: "Why do you build up the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige? Gu is ordered by the king to beg for disobedience. Once he enters Ling and Guangxi, he will win the support of the scholars and people. At that time, Liu Jingsheng will be able to do nothing to me ?”
