Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 125 The Emperor's New Clothes: Taiping Dao Amulet Water Treatment

The night is like a rock.

Emperor Liu Hong stood alone in the Qianqiu Longsui Palace, watching the falling night, thinking of his confidant's serious trouble, the Runan Yuan family was about to lose an arm, deep in his heart, there was a touch of excitement and ecstasy.

At this time...

Jian Shuo from outside the door came in to report. "Your Majesty, Yuan Sikong is already waiting outside the door."

Liu Hong suddenly cheered up, "Pass!" Then strode back to his seat, sitting upright, dignified.

Holding a roll of bamboo slips in both hands, Yuan Feng walked in solemnly. His expression was extremely calm, which surprised Liu Hong, and he couldn't see through him.

"The minister has a table to play."

"Da Sikong is my humerus. When I meet late at night, there will be no outsiders. Is there anything that cannot be discussed in person? Do you still want to put it into words?"

"I have nothing to say to Your Majesty, but the words are inevitably selfish, and the words are for the people of the world to read, and they must be fair and correct." The more he is in this hall, the more solemn Yuan Feng is, the more straight his spine is.

This is the aura of the Yuan family in Runan that can only be created by four generations!
Liu Hong had a premonition that Yuan Feng knew that Xun Yu was coming, and knew that his position as the third prince would be lost. However, he resigned to the emperor proudly.

He also wanted to let the Son of Heaven know that the Yuan family's heritage was still there, and that it would not be dimmed just because of the loss of a Sikong.

Liu Hong said with a smile: "Then, Yuan Sikong sat down and said slowly, what is selfishness? What is fairness?"

Yuan Feng put the memorial table on the dragon case in front of Liu Hong, "I have been in the high position of the Sangong for more than ten years, and I have not made an inch of merit. In recent years... I have often felt that I am unable to do what I want. It seems that I am approaching old age, but please resign Sikong. It is selfish to return to my hometown in Runan to plow and ridge the fields, and I hope His Majesty will allow it."

"What a selfish intention..." Liu Hong put down the letter of resignation and looked up at Yuan Feng with a smile.

Volunteer to resign from office...

This is a brilliant move.

If Liu Hong is obsessed with the "Guan Changsheng case" and implicates that dog official "Yan He" with the Yuan family, it will appear that Liu Hong is a little unreasonable.

What a broken arm to survive!
Yuan Feng's face was still calm. "What I want to say below is fairness."

Liu Hong's face was indifferent, and he stretched out his hand to signal him to continue talking.

"Your Majesty, the heavenly dog ​​eats the sun, and the heavens send disasters to alert the world. Your majesty is the Sikong position who deposed the minister, and there is nothing wrong with it. However, the minister heard that there is a saying in "Zuo Zhuan", 'If a country has no government, if it does not do good, it will be relegated to the sun. Disasters of the moon'; Sima Qian also recorded in "Historical Records", "The eclipse of the sun and the moon is the turn of the sun and the moon. The moon travels in the zodiac, and the sun is hidden, and the solar eclipse is said. It is said that yin prevails over yang, and it becomes heavier." " "Book of Rites · Hunyi" said: "If men don't cultivate, they can't do yang affairs. They will be relegated to the sky, and the sun will be eclipsed.""

Liu Hong's face turned cold. "Yuan Sikong's words mean that I don't cultivate virtue, the country has no way, and the heavens just sent this disaster?"

Yuan Feng didn't speak, but his eyes were positive.

Liu Hong stared at him closely. "Answer me!"

Yuan Feng finally raised his head slowly, met Liu Hong's furious gaze, and said softly: "I don't mean that, I mean... the "Tiangou Shiri" has always been a warning to His Majesty and the world. False and wrong cases and other trivial matters? God is too busy to care about these trivial matters!"

"I just think that instead of His Majesty thinking that this 'Tengu Eats the Sun' is a statement of Guan Changsheng's grievances, it is better to look at the disasters in the territory of the Han Dynasty. Under these disasters, has His Majesty stopped them? Can you stop their spread? Guan Changsheng was wronged, but...don't those people who were tortured by the disaster feel wronged?"

call…

Yuan Feng's words made the emperor Liu Hong gasp, so he was waiting here for him?

Disaster... Hehe, isn't it the plague that ravaged Nanyang and Zhuo County?
Originally, I thought that the abolition of the Sangong was just a matter of raising my hand, but I never thought that the counterattack of the Yuan family in Runan came so quickly, and it came so violently...

Liu Hong glared at Yuan Feng coldly, gnashing his teeth.

"Yuan Sikong? What do you mean?"

"I have served as Sikong for more than ten years, and I have always believed that your majesty will rejuvenate the Han Dynasty and save the people. But now that the plague is rampant, and the people in Nanyang and Zhuo counties are in dire straits, your majesty's eyes are focused on a trivial 'Guan Changsheng case', even if this case Injustice? But because of the injustice of one person, His Majesty neglected the suffering of the people under the plague."

"Tiangou eats the day, when one of the three princes is dismissed, the minister voluntarily resigns, but I hope that your majesty will no longer be entangled in small cases, but focus on the plague, and focus on major festivals. If your majesty really wants to use that Taoist, let him... Let him Let him go and help the poor people under the plague! As long as he can save the people from the fire and water, why not let him succeed the minister as Sikong?"

understood…

Liu Hong understood everything at once.

Don't look at Yuan Feng's sonorous words and sharp tone, but this counterattack was not aimed at him at all, Liu Hong, but at "Yu'er".

Just think about it and know...

According to the consistent behavior of the Runan Yuan family, tomorrow the entire Luoyang city...will be full of wind and rain, and will spread...the heroic deeds of Yulin Temple to fight the plague!

This is not the most important thing, the important thing is... Previously, "Yu'er" was a Taoist, and every action he did was the "hero" who turned the tide. He satisfied all the fantasies of the people about "heroes".

Yuan Feng is trying to make Yu'er... riding a tiger hard to get off.

It also made it difficult for him, the emperor, to ride a tiger.

What a vicious heart!

This resignation is really deafening. For the first time...Liu Hong has re-recognized the current Da Sikong in front of him. No wonder his disciples' hometown can be spread all over the big man. No wonder so many people follow his example. him.

Yuan Feng questioned Liu Hong with his silent eyes, but Liu Hong couldn't meet his eyes, and he just felt sad and tired for a while.

"I originally thought that you and I could understand Sikong for more than ten years, but I didn't expect... until today, I really understood Sikong, and understood Sikong's horror!"

"Your Majesty, no matter how terrible I am, this official career is coming to an end, but what I said just now was for the sake of the great man, the people, and the country... If your majesty does not allow the minister to resign for a day, then the minister will do it for the great man." ZTE 'plans' one day!"

After Yuan Feng finished speaking, he kowtowed deeply...

Liu Hong was stunned on the spot, he understood... the weight of Yuan Feng's salutation, it was farewell, and it was even more of a threat.

Liu Hong laughed out loud. "Okay, okay, I'm embarrassing Yuan Sikong. From my point of view, Yuan Sikong is in a high position for a day, and he spends a day planning for the Yuan family. I admire you. But Sikong is such a status that he will not let go until the end." After a little Taoist, is this Taoist so fearful to Sikong?"

Yuan Feng slowly raised his head and looked directly at Liu Hong.

At this moment... every inch of Yuan Feng's bones showed aging and exhaustion.

What the Son of Heaven said is true, one day in a high position is one day for the Yuan family...

Yuan Feng's position has never changed.

"Your Majesty knows your ministers, and your Majesty knows your Majesty. Some things, some people... It is inconvenient for me to say more. Your Majesty will treat this as the last stubbornness of the former Sikong before resigning!"

Yuan Feng turned around and left the Qianqiu Long Live Hall...

Liu Hong frowned, he hated in his heart, Yuan Feng put him... put Yu'er on the fire and roasted him.

Is this the Runan Yuan family's counterattack?
Liu Hong couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead, not only his forehead, but at this moment... his dragon robe was soaked with sweat.

On the other side, Yuan Feng staggered down the stone steps of the Qianqiu Longsui Palace...

One hundred floors!

Every time he went down to one floor, Yuan Feng felt his heart emptied a little bit. It wasn't until he got down to the last floor that he realized... his heart was completely empty!
After walking out of the palace from Simamen, the car that brought him was still parked outside Simamen.

Seeing that something was wrong with Yuan Feng, the coachman hurriedly helped him into the carriage.

"Master, are you going back home?"

Yuan Feng didn't answer...He looked up at the vast night, the cold moon was like frost, and said lightly: "Will the moon in Runan be brighter than Luoyang? Hehe, I won't take a carriage today, and finally I will take a walk in Luoyang City Bar!"

The coachman was worried, and quickly asked, "Master, are you...are you alright?"

Yuan Feng smiled: "It doesn't matter if I have anything to do. The important thing is that I have been running around for the family for decades, and I have been working hard on the case. I carefully grasped the distance between the family and the emperor, and carefully expanded the family. Let the family I can be proud of a big man, one person is inferior to ten thousand people! Tonight... is the most presumptuous night I have had in these years! Haha, let's go... The moon tonight is extraordinarily bright!"

The coachman had no choice but to lead the horse and follow him. His staggering steps gradually became easier. Yuan Feng's steps became more and more relaxed. home... he can only go so far
Next... Whether the Runan Yuan family can make further progress depends on the elder brother and three sons!

step... step!

The low and heavy footsteps sounded again in the empty streets of Luoyang.

With full sleeves of moonlight, the years seem to flow like water...

Yuan Feng gradually went away, and as he walked, he chanted softly: "The bright moon is so bright, it shines on my bed and curtains. I can't sleep because of sorrow, so I take up my clothes and wander around. Although the guests are happy, it is better to return early. Go out and wander alone, worrying Who should I sue? The leader returned to the room, tears stained his clothes...I went back, I went back...I went back to my hometown in Nanyang!"

On this side, Yuan Feng relieved the heavy burden on his shoulders in a mournful tone.

Over there...

Zhang Rang didn't know when he was introduced into the Palace of Longevity.

"Your Majesty... after noon today, there were indeed rumors in the market that 'only the Lord Yulin can cure the plague in the two places'... There were also rumors that...the Lord Yulin decided to lead the disciples to the plague land and save all the people in the land of the plague. Water and fire'...the common people are rushing to tell each other...yes...they are all looking forward to it!"

With a "bang", Liu Hong slammed his fist on the dragon case, and all the pens, ink and notes on the dragon case flew together.

The emperor was furious. "This old thing, even if he resigns from office, he won't live in peace!"

This time, Liu Hong felt the energy of the Runan Yuan family at the closest distance...

This is a conspiracy...

The most terrifying thing about Yangmou is that even if Liu Hong knows about it, he can't do anything about it.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Rang saw that the emperor was in a bad mood, and hurriedly said: "If...if this news is all rumors, I will immediately block the source of the news and let... let these rumors..."

"It's late!" Without waiting for Zhang Rang to finish speaking, Liu Hong waved his hand directly, and he let out a long sigh. "It's too late..."

The fierce light in his eyes gradually softened, becoming helpless and hesitant.

What is riding a tiger?
At this moment, he, the emperor, has really realized it.

With the energy of the Runan Yuan family, this news can spread throughout the streets and alleys of Luoyang within half a day, and after that three days, the whole big man will spread this news.

——The plague in the two places can only be cured by the temple master in Yulin!

This sentence is the expectation and vision of the people, maybe... it will also become the hope for the people of Nanyang and Zhuo County to persevere.

If this sentence is rejected by him, Liu Hong...

that...consequences...

Liu Hong shook his head violently, he didn't dare to think... and couldn't think further.

at this time…

"Your Majesty." Jian Shuo entered the Qianqiu Long Live Palace, as if he had something to report, but when he saw Zhang Rang was there, he quickly shut his mouth.

Liu Hong raised his hand to signal him that it's okay to speak up.

Only then did Jian Shuo report. "Tonight, in Yulin Temple, Captain Qiao brought an old man's son to visit Liu Guanzhu. After investigation, the old man's son was Zhang Zhongjing from the Zhang family in Nanyang, and the white body named Liu Xuande also brought a friend. After investigation, it was Jian Yong from Zhuo County, the prefecture of Zhuo County in Youzhou, who was also a white body, and their expressions were extremely urgent, as if they had something important to ask the Master of Yulin Temple!"

Well…

Hearing such a report, Liu Hong suddenly raised his head.

The sharp eyes also slightly bent down.

It's not because of anything else, but this Zhongjing, this Jian Yong...their hometown is...

Nanyang!

Zhuo County!

Isn't this the place where the plague broke out?
The two of them came from the plague land and were recommended to find Yu'er. Most of what they did was... for the people and families under the plague!

In an instant, Liu Hong's eyes widened, and he was suddenly full of interest in how Yu'er responded to the two of them.

Is it...

Does Yu'er have a solution to this "plague" that ravages the big man?
and many more…

At first it was just a sudden thought, but unable to hold Zhuyu in front of him, Liu Hong's eyes were bent into crescent-like shapes, and in the faint pupils, it seemed that he saw a line of words - put it to death and live again!
...

...

In the dim moonlit night, Xun Yu led some imperial guards, and Ben was waiting in the front hall of the Yulin Temple. When he saw Liu Yu striding forward, followed by Guan Yu, his eyes were full of excitement.

Liu Yu was also very happy. "Wen Ruo is here."

He directly introduced to Guan Yu: "Brother Guan, this is Xun Yu Xun Wenruo, the governor of Hedong who went to Jieliang County with me to rescue you earlier..."

Hearing this, Guan Yu immediately bowed his hands. "I keep this kindness in my heart, thank you Brother Xun."

Xun Yu also bowed his hands back. "I, Xun Yu, will spare no effort to save the person my virtuous brother wants to save. Don't thank me, Brother Guan."

Xun Yu said so...

But Guan Yu still made a long obeisance, and Jieliang Guan lived forever, and his grievances and grievances have always been clear.

"Brother Yu just now had an audience with His Majesty, and His Majesty asked to see Guan Changsheng." Xun Yu cut to the chase.

This…

Guan Yu didn't speak but looked at Liu Yu.

"Is it safe?" Liu Yu asked with concern.

"Since you sent me, your Majesty's intention is very obvious, and it will not be detrimental to Brother Changsheng." Xun Yu explained carefully, as if he was still afraid of Liu Yu's worry, Xun Yu solemnly assured: "Don't worry, my brother, I will If Brother Changsheng brings him into the palace, he will be guaranteed to be brought out."

Liu Yu nodded...

Guan Yu also had no objection.

only…

"Guanzhu Liu..." Guan Yu turned around and faced Liu Yu. "After entering the palace, His Majesty will definitely ask some questions, which may implicate Guanzhu Liu. I hope Guanzhu Liu will show you what to say and what not to say."

Guan Yu didn't make his words too obvious...but the meaning was too clear. However, if His Majesty asks about "Liu Yu", can Guan Yu say it?

It's not that Guan Yu is afraid of saying the wrong thing, but... He is familiar with "Spring and Autumn" and knows in his heart that emperors are often full of fear of those who can perform "unique magic".

Liu Yu asked the heavens to send a warning like this, the heavenly dog ​​eats the sun...

In the eyes of His Majesty, this is probably considered a "unusual technique", right?
You can't let him encounter accidents because of yourself!
Guan Yu's tone was dignified, but Liu Yu's face was calm and breezy.

What Guan Yu didn't know was...he, Liu Yu, had already become a "business partner" with His Majesty "separated from the air".

"Brother Guan is open and aboveboard, so how can he tell lies?" Liu Yu smiled slightly, looking very frank. "Whatever your Majesty asks, Brother Guan can answer whatever you want. You don't need to worry about other things. Besides, I, Liu Yu, am also very upright, but I am more persistent in justice and justice."

"Guardian Liu is magnanimous..." Guan Yu cupped his hands.

Xun Yu saw that it was getting late, so he asked Guan Yu to get out of Yulin Temple and get on the carriage...the Imperial Forest Army had already cleared the way.

On the contrary, the front hall of Yulin Temple suddenly became silent.

call…

Liu Yu breathed out, as if he was thinking about something, he started to walk slowly in this quiet courtyard of Yulin Temple, with the bright moon in the sky, his figure seemed a bit lonely.

But at this moment, a cloak was draped over his body, and a hand hung down from Liu Yu's back, putting on a warm snow-white fox leather sheath for him, and said softly.

"I killed the fox myself and made the leather case. The weather is capricious and the night is colder. Warm your hands!"

Liu Yu turned around, but it wasn't Zhang Yulan who appeared in front of him, who else could it be?
"I'm not cold."

"Husband, why did you lie to me? Husband is worrying about the plague, right?"

Liu Yu smiled: "There is a kind of lie, I don't want the people I care about to be so troubled..."

Zhang Yulan stared at him obsessively, Liu Yu took the leather case that was not fully put on, looked up at the sky, the dark blue sky was as clean as sea water, he smiled and said: "With you, my heart is warm enough, a little It's not cold either."

"I wish I could help you more." Zhang Yulan said quietly.

Exactly this sentence...

Liu Yu seemed to think of something all of a sudden, and when he looked at Zhang Yulan's pupils again, he became much more disappointed. "Senior sister, maybe you can really help me with this matter."

"Is it about the plague in Nanyang and Zhuo County?" Zhang Yulan asked hastily.

Liu Yu nodded and said: "Yes, it's not... However, the senior sister is in charge of the intelligence collection of the Central Plains of the Tianshi Dao, so I guess I have heard of another Taoism—Taiping Dao!"

Well…

When mentioning Taiping Dao, Zhang Yulan paused for a moment, then quickly opened her mouth: "In the Central Plains, Taiping Dao is more popular than our Celestial Master Dao."

It's like feeling...

Liu Yu immediately asked: "Sister, why don't you tell me, where does the 'popularity' of the Taiping Dao come from?"

"Isn't this the plague?" Zhang Yulan explained without thinking. "In recent years, plagues have occurred frequently in the Han Dynasty, and the imperial court is helpless. If the common people are unfortunately infected with this plague, they can only fend for themselves... But... But Taiping Dao has attracted a large number of believers with its 'talisman water to cure diseases' and 'talisman to exorcise evil spirits' .”

"Then its talisman water can cure typhoid fever?" Liu Yu continued to ask.

"Of course not." Zhang Yulan shook her head. "What Dad told us, the so-called talisman water cure is just the most common method of 'alchemy cure'!"

"Make some herbal medicine into talisman paper, burn it, and sprinkle the ashes in the water...for people to drink. After all, this is the ashes of the herbal medicine. It has some effect on the disease, so it can cure some diseases. But...if it can be said that typhoid fever can be completely cured, it is definitely not true, at most it can cure the most obvious typhoid fever."

Zhang Yulan's words are good.

Because Tianshi Dao and Taiping Dao are both the talisman school of Taoism.

Fushui healing is a basic skill, and it is also a guy who eats.

As Zhang Yulan said, because Taoism is a fusion of alchemy theory, alchemy can cure diseases, so this method of... making herbal medicine into talismans, pouring it in a bowl of water... is equivalent to drinking a pack of herbal medicine, and it can also cure diseases. It can be understood as a pack of anti-inflammatory drugs, which can naturally solve some diseases.

In addition, according to the theory of later generations of medicine.

Treating diseases with Fushui can also be called a kind of "psychological treatment". That is to say, after drinking Fushui, the common people think that all diseases will be eliminated and their mood will be better.

And once the mood is clear, it will be easier to heal the disease over time!
Anyway... just like many cancer patients in later generations, in fact, they were not knocked down by cancer in the end, but were scared to death.

Living in fear all day, the disease will get worse and worse.

Based on the above two points, Fushui cures diseases... it is indeed effective, and there are special "Daoist" associations in later generations, many "elders" also drank Fushui when they were young... This can also prove that Fushui does not cure diseases. It's not pure flickering, it has a certain basis.

but…

Still the same sentence, Taipingdao's talisman water can only treat the most common typhoid fever, and it is far from enough to control the plague.

"Therefore, the Taipingdao will give the talisman water to the poor and let them take it. If they are cured... then it is a great contribution to the Taipingdao. If it is not cured, it means that the people are not sincere. In the end, even if they die, they will have to blame themselves."

Liu Yu explained what he understood.

From Zhang Yulan's repeated nods, Liu Yu could realize that Taipingdao really played this trick...

Isn't this the "Emperor's New Clothes"?

As for making it bigger and attracting a large number of believers in a short period of time, there is another biggest reason besides talisman water healing.

—The powerlessness of the imperial court against the plague.

The people at the bottom cannot place their hopes on the imperial court, so naturally they cannot place their hopes on 'heaven', so...they will find another spiritual sustenance!

The birth of "Yellow Sky" came into being.

The "great virtuous teacher" who came into being was born.

The future Yellow Turban Uprising... will naturally take shape.

According to the theory that the flood will come out and the end of the world will come out in the "Tianguan Li Baoyuan Taiping Jing", it is widely publicized.

——The "Eastern Emperor Taiyi" believed by the Han family seems to have inevitably gone into a stranger.

——The "Zhonghuang Taiyi" believed by Taipingdao will replace the "Eastern Emperor Taiyi" to save the world from fire and water.

Exhale lightly, and in a short while, those sixteen big characters came to Liu Yu's mind - the sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established, the year is Jiazi, the world is auspicious!

Ha ha…

Thinking of this, the corners of Liu Yu's mouth opened, revealing an intriguing smile.

He suddenly thought of a way to make the Tao of Heavenly Master stronger, even greater than the Tao of Taiping.

It is also the same as Fushui to cure diseases...

Taipingdao can only treat the most superficial typhoid.

If the talisman water of Tianshidao can cure typhoid fever fundamentally?Can this intensifying plague be contained?

At that time, the Tao of Heavenly Master will be prosperous day by day, how can it be fooled by the Tao of Taiping?
