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

Chapter 53 Everything is the best arrangement!

The cold winter is over, and late spring is approaching. At the foot of Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi Province, there are many people walking in spring, covering the floor with blankets, sitting on the ground in twos and threes, and some people are singing poems with the flowing water. The mountains are soft and the water is warm, and the warm wind is intoxicating!

Liu Yu and Zhang Yulan's cavalry started from Bashu and headed towards Jingzhou via Yiling.

However, during the period, I made a detour to Longhu Mountain.

This is the area in charge of Zhang Yulan, the "Holy Maiden" of Tianshi Dao.

Since she was determined to follow her husband Liu Yu to Luoyang, she naturally had to explain to Longhu Mountain.

In front of the Taoist temple gate of Longhu Mountain, a group of Taoists stood on both sides, and when they saw Liu Yu and Zhang Yulan, they saluted one after another.

Shout out...

"Great sacrificial wine, saint!"

"Husband, I'll come as soon as I go!"

"Go!"

Zhang Yulan had a conversation with Liu Yu, and after getting an affirmative answer, her smile suddenly subsided, and she changed back to that cold heroine, with a sharp and solemn expression.

She glanced back at her husband Liu Yu for the last time, then quickly entered the Taoist temple and walked to a secret room in the side hall.

A Taoist chanted loudly: "The saint is here!"

Outside the door, more than a dozen Taoist priests who had already been waiting in line were all dressed in Taoist robes and stopped to guard.

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old Taoist brought a bowl of water, Zhang Yulan took a sip, raised her eyebrows slightly, and put it down in dissatisfaction.

"Change to cold water!"

It should be known that Zhang Yulan is recorded in "Tai Ping Guang Ji" - the grandson of the celestial master, the daughter of Lingzhen, young and pure, not like meat and blood.

only…

What is not recorded in "Tai Ping Guang Ji" is that besides not eating meat and blood, she also has another habit, that is, she loves to drink ice water.

The icy coldness soaked into the bone marrow can make her spirit much more uplifted.

It is not easy for a woman to be in charge of the Tianshi Dao, Longhushan, and many matters in an orderly manner!
"Where's the ice water?"

Seeing that the young Taoist was indifferent, Zhang Yulan asked again.

The Taoist replied: "The great sacrificial wine just ordered that the saint's body is cold and she can't drink ice water anymore!"

Zhang Yulan raised her head sharply and looked at the Taoist. She did not expect that when she entered the door, her husband gave orders behind her...

On the other hand, the Taoist, under Zhang Yulan's gaze, held the hot water without any hesitation, neither fear nor disrespect, neither humble nor overbearing, just right.

"Old Celestial Master's last words, seeing the Grand Priest's Wine is like seeing a Celestial Master... The command of the Grand Priest's Wine is like the command of the Celestial Master!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yulan smiled. "Very good, this is my Taoist temple in Longhu Mountain. We are the eyes of the Celestial Master in the Central Plains, monitoring the changes in the Central Plains, and you are the eyes of your husband, monitoring me! Very good!"

I don't know if it's because of the hot water steam or some other reason, but an inexplicable warm current poured into her heart.

"What's your name?" Zhang Yulan asked the thirteen or fourteen-year-old Taoist.

"Returning to the Holy Maiden, my name is Ge Xuan, and my style name is Xiaoxian!"

"I remember you!" Zhang Yulan groaned softly, then knelt down on the main seat, took the water and drank it all in one gulp, "Zu Shi!"

Immediately, a Taoist reported back.

——"This year, the Yellow River was flooded, and the cities and counties along the coast suffered from floods. The imperial court ordered disaster relief, but the results have not been great. But recently, the imperial court has gone uncharacteristically and stopped distributing disaster relief funds. Instead, it has changed to distribute grain 'ten chaff, one grain'! 'People's troubles' , "People's grievances" were suppressed to a certain extent."

Well…

Hearing this, Zhang Yulan's eyes moved slightly.

"Ten brans and one grain" softly chanted in the mouth...

But I was thinking in my heart, why do I feel that this method of the court is a bit like the "sand porridge" given by my husband and Cao Mengde in Yulin Temple and Dunqiu County?
Can't think about it...

The second Taoist opened his mouth. "Reporting to the Holy Maiden, the imperial court will set up the official title of '騄骨座东' at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, and the fine horses raised by the officials of various counties and countries will be uniformly recruited by the imperial court! From now on, there will be very few good horses on the market!"

This…

Zhang Yulan lowered her gaze slightly.

She suddenly remembered.

Along the way...she and her husband, Liu Yu, were in the carriage to discuss the source of money, which is an indispensable source of money for the way of heavenly masters to grow among the people!
At that time, my husband seemed to have mentioned that he had cooperated with the Wuji Zhen family in Jizhou, Hebei Province a year ago to hoard a large number of good horses, and now... just happened to be a decree that "the imperial court uniformly recruits good horses from counties and countries".

This…

a year ago?

How did your husband get wind of it?Considering this time, it is not possible to be a prophet, right?

Eyes blinking slightly...

At the same time, the third Taoist reported back. "The former Taiwei Qiaoxuan' Prince Qiao' went south to Jingzhou, and he stopped in Xiangyang City to welcome the grand sacrificial wine. It seems that there is something to ask for!"

This sentence blurted out...

Zhang Yulan's beautiful eyes opened in an instant.

More suspicion grew on her brow.

According to the information obtained in the past, it seems that the husband has no communication with this "Prince Qiao".

So?Why is he looking for a husband?
Besides, how did he know that her husband would return to Luoyang from Xiangyang City in Jingzhou by water?Still waiting there specially?

A series of questions are listed.

It seems that each one has a little mystery, and each one is closely related to the husband!
For a while, Zhang Yulan was a little confused!

She lightly tapped the table with her fingers and stood up slowly.

"Continue to investigate. From now on, all the information detected by Longhushan will be reported to Yulin Temple in Luoyang! Especially related to the 'Great Sacrifice Wine'!"

--"Yes!"

As the group of Taoists left, Zhang Yulan put her hand on her chin, her mouth slightly puffed up.

She slowly unfolded a simple map on the desk case.

Gently slide your finger, from Longhu Mountain to Xiangyang, then across Nanyang, across Yanzhou, and finally lightly tap on the dot in Luoyang.

She raised her eyes slightly, as if she saw... In the map, her return to Luoyang with her husband will cause a storm!
...

...

Liu Yu is still in bed, exhausted from the long journey, it is rare to rest on the bed for a while.

Zhang Yulan walked in slowly, with a complicated expression on her cheek...

Before she could speak, Liu Yu took the lead and said, "Sister Yulan's expression is wrong... Is it because of 'ten chaff and one grain'? Or '騄骨底cheng'? Or 'Qiao Dagong'?"

As soon as this statement comes out…

Zhang Yulan was taken aback.

"Okay..." she said coquettishly. "I have been here in Longhushan for seven or eight years, but I never thought that my husband just arrived here, and the information is better than me! Come to think of it... my informants have already been 'bought' by my husband!"

Ah…

Hearing this, Liu Yu smiled slightly. "It's not the father-in-law's last words of 'seeing the great wine is like seeing a celestial master'. I asked these Taoists, and they naturally dare not hide it from me!"

While speaking, Liu Yu smiled and took Zhang Yulan's hand. "Sister Yulan, these are the eyeliner and information of Tianshidao, so there is no need to be jealous!"

Zhang Yulan pursed her lips on purpose, she was only just reaching Ji's age, and she was at the age where she was easily shy, her cheeks turned bright red immediately.

"Okay..." Zhang Yulan raised her eyes. "'Ten brans and one grain', 'Ji Ji stable Cheng', 'The Great Prince of the Bridge'...these are related to you, you participated in it, and even came directly to you? How do you plan to do it?"

heard...

Liu Yu's expression was a little serious. "Sister Yulan, have you forgotten what I said back then?"

"How to say?"

——"If you want to prosper the Taoism of the Heavenly Master, you must establish the Taoist gate; if you want to prosper the Taoist gate, you must support the Han Dynasty; if you want to support the Han Dynasty, there must be Taoists entering the temple!"

Liu Yu's tone became meticulous. "'Ten brans and one grain', '騄骨底cheng', 'The Prince of the Bridge', these seem to be accidental, but they are actually the best arrangements!"

Speaking of this, Liu Yu deliberately blinked at Zhang Yulan.

——"Sister Yulan, don't worry, everything is under control!"

——"The Confucian sect has monopolized the Han temple for hundreds of years, so there should be a place for Taoists!"

Liu Yu's voice is not loud...

But inexplicably, these words spread to Zhang Yulan's ears, but they were loud and loud, and it made her "convinced" from the bottom of her heart!
Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "deposed all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism", no Taoist has entered the temple for hundreds of years!

——Husband...do you want to face up to the difficulties?
——Husband, you must be able to face the difficulties!
