Emperor Liu Hong

"Oh, great virtuous teacher. How do you think we should unite and fight for it?"

Seeing that Zhang Heng was a little moved, Zhang Jiao immediately said with joy: "Master Zhang, let alone others, the combined sects of the two of us alone have power spread over seven or eight states. Such a big power, if it is not necessary , the imperial court is definitely not willing to offend. If we bring in other colleagues to form an alliance together. In that case, we will not only have the capital to negotiate with the imperial court. And the imperial court is absolutely impossible to offend us too much. When we reform, we will definitely take the initiative to give us part of the benefits."

"Great virtuous teacher, although your idea is very good, it is a bit unrealistic." Zhang Heng said very bluntly: "Let's not talk about anything else, it is not easy to choose the person in charge of this alliance alone."

"Master Zhang, there is no need for us to elect the person in charge. If there is something, can we discuss it together?"

"Great virtuous teacher, according to your theory, what difference does it make if there is an alliance or not?!" Hearing Zhang Jiao's words, Zhang Heng shook his head, "Great virtuous teacher, as the saying goes, a snake has no head. No, if it is an alliance, it must choose a person in charge. But you know, in our business, we rely on fame to make a living. If possible, who wants to be inferior to others. So this alliance is just It just looks good."

Zhang Heng's words were like pouring a basin of cold water on Zhang Jiao, directly cooling his fiery heart.But he was still a little bit reluctant, "Master Zhang, but if we don't form an alliance, the imperial court will definitely squeeze out our interests."

"Great virtuous teacher, you are also an old world, don't you even understand this." Zhang Heng said.Just a sigh, "People nowadays would rather let the imperial court take advantage of everyone's interests than be taken advantage of by their peers."

Zhang Jiao understood everything Zhang Heng said.If he hadn't been cornered by the court now, he wouldn't have thought of forming an alliance with others.But the problem is that it doesn't matter whether others form an alliance or not, but he must form an alliance.Because in his opinion, if he doesn't form a few allies, he will be punished by the court in all likelihood.

"The sky is big and the earth is big, life is the biggest!" Thinking of this.Zhang Jiao turned his heart and said to Zhang Heng: "Master Zhang, why don't our two factions form an alliance. It seems that the combined forces of our two factions have seven or eight states. The imperial court will definitely attach importance to our alliance. Brother." Give up the position of the leader to the leader. I just hope that if the court makes things difficult for the younger brother, the leader can help."

"Great virtuous teacher. There is no need to do this." Looking at Zhang Jiao.Zhang Heng said in embarrassment: "Your sect is bigger than Xiaodao's, and your influence is also stronger than Xiaodao's. Even if Xiaodao becomes the leader of this alliance, it is not justified."

Seeing that Zhang Heng was not interested in this figurehead leader, Zhang Jiao became even more anxious.After all, he wouldn't be able to join forces with Zhang Heng.Others are even more hopeless.At this time, Zhang Jiao couldn't care about anything else, and said directly: "Master Zhang, you are well informed. You must know why this incident happened."

"I heard that someone beat the Dengwen drum, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"Master Zhang is right. It happened because someone beat the Dengwen Drum and sued my younger brother for deceiving people." Zhang Jiao was quite frank and admitted it directly.Then, he said to Zhang Heng: "Master Zhang, it is absolutely impossible for my younger brother to be kind when he comes to Beijing this time. I hope Master Zhang will give you a hand because of the past affection between your two sects."

"Great virtuous teacher, how can you let Xiaodao pull you on such a big matter." Zhang Heng looked at Zhang Jiao and shook his head for a while, "Don't talk about our little power, what about the Xianbei back then, it's not in the hands of our Majesty, easily The ground will be annihilated. So if you only think about fighting the court, it is absolutely impossible to end well."

"Master Zhang, what do you mean, we two brothers can only wait to die." Hearing Zhang Heng's words, Zhang Bao said angrily.

"That's not true." Zhang Heng didn't care about Zhang Bao's attitude, and said with a smile: "Xiao Dao just said that if you choose to fight against the court, you will definitely not end well."

"Then what's the difference between the two." Zhang Bao was still not in a good mood.

"The difference is huge!" Zhang Heng smiled and explained to Zhang Bao: "If you don't fight against the imperial court, maybe you will have a way to survive."

"Oh, how do you say that?" Now, not only Zhang Bao was interested, but even Zhang Jiao, who was beaten into silence, spoke.

"What Xiaodao means is that Xiaodao has something to do with the court, and he can talk to His Majesty. If you are sincere, Xiaodao can ask someone to help you find out."

"Master Zhang, as long as you can help our brothers survive, we brothers will follow your example from now on." Zhang Jiao was now in a hurry, and when he heard Zhang Heng's words, he quickly expressed his opinion.

"Great virtuous teacher, it's useless for you to just say this. You must know that someone has beaten the Dengwen drum, and His Majesty will definitely give an explanation to the world. How to get His Majesty to explain this is what you should consider most now."

Zhang Jiao is also a smart person who knows how to choose, so he directly expressed his position, "Master Zhang, the matter has reached this point, as long as our brother's life is saved, we are content. We don't care about the rest, just let us go." It's all up to His Majesty to arrange."

Zhang Heng was very happy to get Zhang Jiao's guarantee, and this was definitely a great achievement.And with this great achievement, he felt that he was getting closer to that seat.

The matter was resolved, Zhang Jiao and the others felt that they were all motivated, and they were really walking like flying.Originally, he was not far from the capital, but after a few days of acceleration, they entered the capital.

Liu Hong was thinking about how to deal with Zhang Jiao in the palace so as not to cause a shock in the world.Zhang Jun came to report that his relative, Zhang Heng, the teacher of Tianshi Taoism, had come.

Zhang Heng, that is the Taoist pope he wants to examine, now that he is here, how could he not see him.Therefore, Liu Hong asked Zhang Jun to bring Zhang Heng.

For Liu Hong's mind, Zhang Heng is quite clear.Moreover, he is a person who lives in the rivers and lakes and acts according to the face of others.You said, how could it be possible for him not to speak to Liu Hong's heart.So after an investigation, Liu Hong decided that Zhang Heng was the candidate for the Pope of Taoism.

Hearing Liu Hong's clear statement, Zhang Heng was overjoyed.You must know that the pope of Taoism is the leader of Taoism, and with the support of the imperial court, the power will be great.Really speaking, this position is no worse than a first-rank official in the imperial court.How could he be unhappy that someone from their background could obtain such a prominent status.But no matter how happy he was, he didn't forget about Zhang Jiao, and told Liu Hong the truth.

Liu Hong was worried about how to solve Zhang Jiao, but now, the solution came by himself. (To be continued..)
