I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 107 Intimidating the Taoist Master (Happy New Year to everyone)

In this atmosphere, it was justifiable for Liu Jian to invite Tang Zhou to his mansion.

After all, people who superstitiously believe in the longevity of the Taiping Dao have precedents of inviting these Taoist masters to their homes to listen to lectures.

When Tang Zhou saw Liu Jian's warm invitation, he was somewhat hesitant.

With his current status and prestige, it is impossible for him to live in anyone's house for a few days at will.

As for Liu Jian, he only listened to He Jin's introduction and knew that he was the captain of Yueqi in the Han Dynasty, a figure with a rank of two thousand stones.

However, no matter in the capital or the local area, there are still many civil and military figures who are more than two thousand stones. Tang and Zhou also need to raise their own status, and they need to choose the good ones and teach them.

Seeing that Tang Zhou was hesitant, He Jin spoke for Liu Jian: "Tang Daoist, Liu Yueqi is a member of the royal family of the Han Dynasty. His Majesty once made a personal order. I asked Zongbo to prove his royal seniority for him. He is an outstanding man."

This simple statement raised Liu Jian's class in an instant, and the meaning of the words was self-evident.

When Tang Zhou heard that the relationship between Liu Jian and the emperor was so "special," he immediately said without saying a word: "I promised to preach at Yin's house in Henan earlier, but there are still a few truths that have not been passed on. A few days later, I would like to go to Liu Yueqi's mansion to bother me for a visit."

After hearing this, Liu Jian cupped his hands and said, "Since that's the case, Liu will wait for Taoist Tang at home."

……

After bidding farewell to He Jin and Tang Zhou, Liu Jian returned to his home.

He immediately wrote a secret letter and asked Yu Ze to quietly send it to Lu Qiang's house, and he had to hand it over to Lu Qiang himself, and he also specially ordered Yu Ze not to let others see it.

Afterwards, he thought about one by one among his subordinates, and sent someone to summon Gao Shun and Li Damu.

These two people, no matter at home or in the military camp, are the kind of people with extremely low backgrounds. Some things can only be assured by entrusting them to them.

……

In the quiet room, Li Damu and Gao Shun came to Liu Jian.

Liu Jian looked at the two with a smile: "There is an important matter that needs you and me to do it together. Although this matter is not dangerous, it must not be spread to the outside world. It must be my confidant before I can entrust it with great trust. I don't know if you two Is it possible for people to believe me?"

Li Damu blinked, and first looked at Gao Shun who was aside, seeing that Gao Shun bowed his head and said nothing, he spoke first.

"Li was originally a reckless bandit. Fortunately, he met Guan Cao and the young master, so he has a chance to settle down. If the young master has something to do, please give me instructions. Li will do his best. No matter what happens, he will never spread it!"

Liu Jian nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Gao Shun who was beside him.

After pondering for a moment, Gao Shun asked, "Can I borrow the captain's sword?"

Without hesitation, Liu Jian gave the sword to Gao Shun.

Gao Shun drew out Liu Jian's saber, and decisively cut his palm and let the blood out.

"Shun today swears with flesh and blood. If you violate the order of the young master, you will never see your deceased father, mother, and ancestors on the road to Huangquan."

This oath was made extremely solemnly, and the oath was extremely deep, and it was to sever himself from his ancestors.

This shows Gao Shun's sincerity.

Liu Jian hurriedly got up, took a white scarf and bandaged Gao Shun himself.

"Okay, I'm relieved to have your words, and listen to me, I'll tell you..."

……

……

Three days later, Tang Zhou finished preaching in He Jin's mansion, so he went to Liu Jian's mansion, and Zao Youyu drove the luggage cart to He Mansion to pick Tang Zhou up.

This Tang Zhou, as Zhang Jiao's direct disciple in history, was also entrusted with important tasks by Zhang Jiao, which shows that Zhang Jiao treated him with sincerity as his confidant, but at the most critical moment, he sold Zhang Jiao, which shows his love for the Yellow Turban. He is not absolutely loyal to Zhang Jiao, but a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death in pursuit of wealth and honor.

When they arrived at Liu Jian's residence, Liu Jian naturally made a lot of arrangements, prepared the best room, ordered people to arrange the best banquets and entertainment, accompanied him in person, and humbly asked Tang Zhou for advice on Huang-Lao Taoism.

Tang Zhou was eloquent, while drinking heartily, quite happily, after drinking like this for a short time, he became drunk.

The wine was half full, and while Tang and Zhou were in a daze, Liu Jian changed the topic: "I have admired the Taoist master for a long time, and it is a great comfort to be able to meet at home today. There is a treasure in Liu's family, which is rarely seen by others on weekdays." , I just want to show it to the distinguished guests, today I would like to invite Taoist Tang to have a look, I wonder if the Taoist can appreciate it?"

Tang Zhou said: "Thanks to Yueqi's kind treatment, how dare Tang refuse to obey."

Liu Jian got up immediately,

"Taoist, this way please."

……

……

So, Tang Zhou and Liu Jian went to the back of the mansion together, and came to a secluded room in Liu's mansion.

Entering the quiet room, there was an oil lamp in the room, which was cool and quite dark. Liu Jian closed the door, then sat down behind the table, and looked at Tang Zhou with a half-smile.

Under this weird atmosphere, Tang Zhou suddenly felt a little nervous.

What is this person doing?

"Liu Yueqi, where is the treasure of your mansion?" Tang Zhou asked in a low voice.

Liu Jian was not in a hurry, he just picked up a bowl of hangover soup that had been prepared on the table, and said while drinking, "Don't worry, His Majesty will personally order someone to deliver it later."

The word "Your Majesty" in Liu Jian's words surprised Tang Zhou.

How could it be so good that it should be brought to the current emperor?Aren't you looking for treasures?
He still wanted to ask, but Liu Jian pointed to another bowl of hangover soup on the table and asked him to drink slowly.

Tang Zhou felt apprehensive, so he could only pick up the soup bowl and plan in his heart while drinking.

What happened?What is the meaning of this person's behavior?
Could it be that the news of the incident was leaked?Did it reach the ears of the current emperor?

Tang Zhou was already guilty, so he couldn't help thinking wildly at this moment.

He is Zhang Jiao's most trusted apprentice, and has a very high status in the Taiping Dao. As Zhang Jiao's direct descendant, he travels between Luoyang and Wancheng. It can be said that Zhang Jiao handed over the most important part of the entire Han Dynasty to Tang. Preacher Zhou.

This is a kind of trust beyond the friendship between master and apprentice, and it can even be said to be entrusted with life and death.

But it was a pity that in Tang Zhou's heart, he always had a second heart for Zhang Jiao, or he didn't have much confidence in this uprising.

It has been nearly 400 years since the Han Dynasty was passed down to Liu Hong. No matter how hard the life of Li Shu was, most Han people never had the idea of ​​changing the dynasty. This is a habit engraved in their bones.

To some extent, local plots will also evolve into national plots, especially for a dynasty that has stood for hundreds of years, which has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Tang Zhou was one of them. Ever since he knew about the uprising, although he had no choice but to support his master Zhang Jiao, he was always uncertain and hesitant in his heart.

As for Zhang Jiao's method of brainwashing ordinary Li Shu and the head of Guizhou, Tang Zhou does not accept this method. He is Zhang Jiao's high-achieving apprentice, and may even inherit Zhang Jiao's mantle. What are Zhang Jiao's routines? Zhou's heart is clear.

Just when he was thinking wildly, he heard a deep voice from outside the door: "Is Liu Yueqi here? According to His Majesty's will, I will give Liu Yueqi a special gift."

The hangover soup in Tang Zhou's hand shook, and some spilled out.

Liu Jian, who had been closing his eyes to rest his mind, suddenly opened his eyes. He stood up and went to the door, and opened it.

Tang Zhou hurriedly turned his head to look, but saw two tall men standing outside the door, because the room was too dark to see their faces, but they were wearing the court costumes of Habayashiro Suwei.

Habayashiro was the son of a good family in the six frontier counties, and was under the command of Guang Luxun, who served as the guard palace of the Imperial Army. Because Guang Luxun was in charge of the palace gate, most of them served as relatives of the Liu family and the emperor's close ministers.Luoyang's current Guang Luxun is Liu Kuan who has fallen from the position of Taiwei.

Tang Zhou walked in Luoyang, so he naturally knew about the important costumes of Habayashiro.

Of course, the two Habayashi men at the door were actually Gao Shun and Li Damu in disguise.

Liu Jian took the silk handed over by Gao Shun, thanked him with his hand, and then whispered a few words to them, and then saw the two "Habayashiro" disappear from the door.

Liu Jian turned around, came to the table with a smile, and handed the silk to Tang Zhou.

"Please take a look at the Taoist."

Tang Zhou frowned, but didn't reach out to pick it up.

"Is this the treasure that Captain Yueqi said?"

"Hehe, your majesty's personal book, isn't it considered a treasure?"

Hearing the words "His Majesty's personal letter", Tang Zhou's hands hidden in the cloak seemed to tremble a little.

Guilty.

He took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and stretched out his hand to take the silk.

The Taipingdao incident was well-planned and covered locally, so logically the emperor should not be able to find out anything.

Don't be too nervous, some things are just your own random thoughts.

Tang Zhou took the silk from Liu Jian's hand and said with a smile, "It's really a great fortune in Xiaodao's life to be able to look up at the holy king's personal book."

Liu Jian smiled and said, "I think so too, let's see."

I saw Tang Zhou gently unfolding the silk.

But the moment it unfolded, the smile on Tang Zhou's face froze.

He held the silk hand, and unconsciously, began to tremble violently.

He seemed to want to control his hand, but no matter what, he couldn't.

And Liu Jian, who was sitting opposite him, was drinking the hangover soup as if nothing had happened.

Tang Zhou didn't need to drink the soup, he was so frightened that he sobered up.

At this moment, there were sixteen characters written impressively on the silk.

"The sky is dead, the yellow sky will stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world will be prosperous."

　It's the new year, I wish you all a happy new year, good luck, a lot of money in the new year, happiness and health for the whole family, everyone loves luck, and there is no hindrance to running towards happiness. Happy Year of the Rabbit!
