The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 418 Confucianism and Taoism Controversy
Zhang Daoling's real name is Zhang Ling. He was a student of the imperial court in the early days. He was familiar with the Five Classics and had a good reputation.Later, he became an official, and his official career was considered smooth, all the way to achieve the order of Jiangzhou.

It stands to reason that this kind of official with a rank of a thousand stones, if he is promoted one step further, he is very likely to become an official in Beijing, or be promoted to be a prefect, which can be said to have a bright future.

But Zhang Ling didn't think so. Although he was familiar with Confucian classics, he himself liked Taoism very much.But how could the imperial court at that time revive the Huang-Lao theory.Zhang Ling appeared on the table many times, but all of them fell into the sea.

Frustrated, Zhang Ling resigned and went to Bashu to preach.He even changed his name to Zhang Daoling, and declared himself the successor of Liuhou Zhang Liang.

At that time, the land of Bashu was full of miasma, and there was very little communication with the outside world. At the same time, there were many barbarians, and they worshiped witches and ghosts. The proper barbarians did not escape.

I don't know whether Zhang Daoling is too good at it or really talented. Anyway, he has been in Bashu for many years, and the local people are convinced.

Later, Zhang Daoling, who practiced both magic and martial arts, founded a sect called the Five Dou Rice Sect, which used physical means to heal the common people, and used magic means to teach the common people's beliefs.

And this Five Dou Rice Religion has been handed down to later generations, and it is also known as Zhengyi, the way of heavenly masters.

Frankly speaking, although Zhang Daoling's tricks may be suspected of demagogy, they have indeed contributed to some achievements in the grassroots governance of Bashu, and they are considered meritorious.

But the most direct manifestation is that the former Taoism has evolved into early Taoism and began to spread to the local area.

From Huang Lao's inaction, he evolved into cultivating immortals and attaining the Tao.

Taoism has been dormant, waiting, and expecting the time for revenge to come.

Just at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Confucian-appointed heaven frequently sent disasters, the heaven-appointed emperor swindled, the emperor-appointed eunuchs corrupted the law, and the gentry who often confronted the eunuchs were busy fighting for power.

So far, the life of the people at the bottom has become more and more unsustainable.

At this time, the three brothers Zhang Jiao made their debut.

The "Tianguan Calendar" and "Baoyuan Taiping Jing" written by Gan Zhongke in the past have also been handed down to the three brothers Zhang Jiao.

It's just that the "Taiping Jing" at this time is no longer the original work of Gan Zhongke in the past, and even after several version updates, it has reached the extreme of blackening.

The "Taiping Jing" written by Yu Ji from Langya is actually an annotation for Gan Zhongke's edition of "Taiping Jing", and it is only one of the editions.

The original version of "Taiping Jing" declared that he wanted to change the destiny for the emperor, so he naturally wanted to please the emperor.

And the "Taiping Jing" in the hands of the three Zhang Jiao brothers actually began to promote the end-time remarks that the flood would come, and made a prophecy that Huang Tian would save the world, as if they were trying to take the big man and bring it along.

Zhang Jiao even sent eight disciples to enlighten the world with good ways and turn around to confuse people!

During the most prosperous period of Taiping Dao, many local high-ranking officials and even important officials in the court believed in it, which shows the wide influence of Zhang Jiao.

Finally, in the first year of Zhongping, the Zhang Jiao brothers, wearing yellow scarves, rose up and opened the curtain of a mighty uprising.

A Taoist revenge against Confucianism began again.

Unfortunately, Zhang Jiao lost in the end.

Not only that, but it left a huge mess behind.

The Han Empire failed to win in the end, and its own vitality was greatly damaged.

Without this lose-lose war, it would not be a problem for Dahan Guozuo to continue for decades.He Jin, the butcher, would not be in power, and Dong Zhuo, the martial artist from Xiliang, would not even have the chance to act fiercely.

Zhang Jiao was defeated, but he ruined the great country and created various legacy problems at the same time.

Just like in front of you, the most violent Qingzhou Yellow Turban.

Zuo Ci saw that Lin Chao was deep in thought and remained silent, so he spoke again: "Marquis Lin, even though he deserves death for opening his horns, what crimes do these nobles in the head of Guizhou have?"

Lin Chao raised his eyebrows and asked, "The Li Shu in the head of Guizhou mentioned by the master, are you the Yellow Turban Bandits in Qingzhou?"

"Yellow scarf thieves... so in Lin Hou's eyes, these people are thieves." Zuo Ci lowered his head and sighed: "If there is no need to worry about food and clothing, who would be a thief?"

"They have their own reasons, but certain people also have certain difficulties. As long as they are still robbing houses and ruining the state and counties, then they are thieves!" Lin Chao said firmly, "They are innocent, and those who are harmed by them are guilty gone?"

Zuo Ci smiled wryly and said, "It's all about fighting for life in the end, there's no such thing as high or low."

"That's it, they are fighting for their lives, and those people who have been harmed by them are not fighting for their lives. Even if you are a husband and a certain person, you are also fighting for your life!"

"What Lin Hou said is very reasonable." Zuo Ci nodded, "But there are still hundreds of thousands of yellow scarves in Qingzhou, Lin Hou can't kill them all."

Hearing this, Lin Chao shook his head with a smile, and said, "Of course not. To tell you the truth, sir, after the army has rested, someone will suggest that Lord Xuande go to the emperor to calm down the chaos in Qingzhou."

Zuo Ci hastily asked: "Squeeze the chaos? How does Marquis Lin plan to put it down?"

"Those who surrender can become my citizens again, and those who are stubborn... kill!"

As soon as he talked about the business, Lin Chao's whole body's aura changed, and he naturally revealed a trace of evil spirit, which made Zuo Ci very surprised.

But what Lin Chao said coincided with Zuo Ci's request.

Grassroots governance is always a game of chess, not a simple game of incorporation.

In the original history, when the snow fell in winter, Cao Cao forced to land 30 Qingzhou Yellow Turbans in one fell swoop, achieving a surge in strength.But not long after, he was immediately betrayed by these 30 people.

Lin Chao thought he wasn't cruel enough, but he wasn't merciful either.These hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans will definitely be subdued and reorganized, but it must be that kind of thorough subjugation, not a forced surrender.

In order to ensure long-term stability and ensure the interests of the majority of people, Lin Chao doesn't mind getting rid of a small number of wolfish and ambitious people.

At this time, Zuo Ci continued: "It's ashamed to say that this old man and Zhang Jiao are also very close. In the past when Zhang Jiao had an incident, he also extended a warm invitation to him, but the old man was obsessed with alchemy and didn't want to ask about ordinary things, so he didn't promise.

But now the old man is determined to hide under the forest spring, concentrating on alchemy, in order to soar as soon as possible.Before that, Zhang Jiao's affairs could not be ignored. "

With that said, Zuo Ci stood up, saluted Lin Chao very solemnly, and said, "If Marquis Lin, in the process of pacifying Qingzhou, can cause less slaughter and more enlightenment, I will be grateful! The sacks are handed down, and at the same time he heals hidden diseases for Lin Hou."

But Lin Chao shook his head and replied: "Sir, you are wrong. If you blindly practice benevolence and righteousness without specifying laws and regulations, you are cowardly. A certain person will never kill more, but he is not a cowardly person!"

Hearing this, Zuo Ci was just about to answer when he heard a sharp voice not far away.

"Lin Hou said it well. If Lin Hou can really do what he says, on the day when the master pacifies Qingzhou, I am willing to offer Guan Hai's head with both hands!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw Yu Ji standing on the wall, smiling.
