Great Han Empire

Chapter 1031 The Banner of Heroes in Troubled Times Unrolled
On December [-]th, Yan Liang and Yu Du rushed from Xinye and Rangcheng respectively to the Tianzi Xingtai located in Xiyangju to meet the emperor.

At the military meeting, Xingtai Shangshu ordered Fu Gan to analyze the situation between the North and the South, and elaborated on Xiangyang's important position in the strategy of calming the world.

Jingxiang is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. It is the center between the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. There are Tongbai Mountains, Wudang Mountains, Jingshan Mountains and other continuous mountain ranges around it as dangerous obstacles. There are rivers such as the Han River and the Yangtze River leading to the four directions. Known as the country of martial arts".From the east-west direction, it is the connection hub between Jianghuai, Wuyue, and Bashu. From the north-south direction, it is the joint between Guanzhong, Central Plains, Jiangdong, and Bashu. Therefore, the ownership of Jingxiang directly determines the The success or failure of the Unification War.

Now that the north and the south are facing each other, the fronts of the two sides stretch for four thousand miles from east to west. Xiangyang is in the middle of this front. It can threaten Jianghuai and Jiangdong, and the time to cross the river is just around the corner.On the contrary, if the Han army fails to conquer Xiangyang, then the rebels can then take Xiangyang as the center, echo the two battlefields in the east and west directions, and fight in coordination, which will pose a serious threat to the north.This year when the rebels took advantage of our main army to conquer the desert, the three routes went northward to attack at the same time, which is a clear proof.

Nanyang is three hundred miles away from Xiangyang, and it is the frontier of Jingxiang's defense. If Nanyang is defended, Jingxiang will be safe, and Jingxiang is the barrier to the southeast. The safety of Jingxiang is directly related to the safety of Jianghuai and Jiangdong. Therefore, Jianghuai's Cao Cao, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu in Jiangdong will respond soon. They may send troops northward to attack the Central Plains again in the next year.

"As early as when the capital was moved to Chang'an, the imperial court formulated a strategy to pacify the world." Fu Gan said, "Stabilizing the two frontiers in the northwest and the desert is the basis for pacifying the world. The control of Shu has been achieved, and the capture of Jingxiang has become a top priority. As long as Jingxiang is taken down and the overall defense line of the rebels is cut off, we can attack Bashu from the north to the south. Bashu is recovered, and Jingxiang is in hand. Jianghuai and Jiangdong have completely lost their barriers and Support, defeat is just a matter of time."

"Now the two frontiers in the northwest and the desert have stabilized during the three-year conquest by His Majesty, the generals, and tens of thousands of soldiers. The strategy of controlling Shu has also been successfully realized with the efforts of generals such as Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, and Sima Yi. Xiangxiang immediately became the most critical battle to pacify the world. Jingxiang is peaceful, and the world can be settled."

Then Fu Gan made a summary of the battle situation in Nanyang, and explained in detail the difficulties faced by the current army in attacking Nanyang.

"Currently we have the initiative on the Nanyang battlefield, and the situation is very favorable, but if the army fails to conquer Wancheng before March and push the front line to the Xiangyang city, we will definitely lose the initiative."

"After the beginning of spring, if there is no accident, Liu Bei from Bashu will send troops to Longnan, Cao Cao from Xuzhou will threaten the Central Plains, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu from Jiangdong will come to the Huaihe River to attack Yuzhou again, and Liu Biao from Xiangyang will also mobilize the Yangtze River Navy and the southern counties of Jingzhou The army will launch a counter-offensive, we will fight on four battlefields at the same time, the court's wealth will face a huge crisis, and the Nanyang battlefield may be deadlocked due to insufficient food and grass, and we will have to withdraw our troops in the end."

Fu Gan pointed to Wancheng on the map, and raised his voice slightly, "The purpose of the rebels sticking to Nanyang is very clear, which is to drag our main force on the Nanyang battlefield. The longer the delay, the better the situation will be for them. Conditions, first of all, they have more than 6 troops in the three cities of Wancheng, Nieyang and Yuyang; secondly, they have sufficient food and weapons; thirdly, Xiangyang is very close to the Nanyang battlefield, and the main force of Jingzhou can go north to support at any time; fourthly, they just After defeating General Yang Feng's army, the morale was very strong. On the fifth day, we attacked Nanyang again. Although we used our speed to complete the encirclement, we were insufficiently prepared and the soldiers were exhausted. It was winter and the climate was cold, so we were unable to capture the three strong cities in a short period of time. There is ample time to readjust and find ways to defeat us, so as to use this decisive battle to finally establish a North-South confrontation."

"So, in the next three months, we must capture the three cities and seize Nanyang." Facing the generals, Fu Gan continued, "Severe winter is actually equal to both offensive and defensive parties. Severe winter is both a difficulty and an opportunity. , as long as anyone can turn difficulties into opportunities, whoever can gain more advantages. The conditions of the West Sea War were countless times worse than now, but we still won the victory, which shows that the harsh climate is not the biggest difficulty for us to capture Nanyang. Our biggest difficulty is the serious shortage of food, grass and armaments."

"General Yang Feng was defeated in Nanyang in September. After the rebel army won the victory, the main force went north to attack Luyang and threatened Luoyang. At this time, the autumn harvest began in Nanyang. After we attacked Nanyang again, the rebel army retreated to Wancheng and stood firm. The reason why they are calm is because the treasury in the city is full of food, they are not afraid of being surrounded, but they overlooked a problem, our attack is very fast, they have no time to evacuate the people of Nanyang, and clear the land, which provides us with an opportunity to raise food and grass on the spot Fantastic opportunity."

Fu Gan looked around at the generals in the tent, and waved his arm vigorously, "We will fight Wubao and destroy all Wubao, so that we will have food, clothing, armaments, and civilians. We will strive to start a decisive battle after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Before March, we must seize Nanyang."

=

The big tent immediately burst into joy, Yan Liang, Wang Dang, Yu Du, Yu Digen, Liang Baiwu and others applauded repeatedly, while Zhong Yao, Wang Ling, Yang Xiu, Jiang Ji and others tried their best to dissuade them.

Zhong Yao was very excited, and repeatedly advised the emperor.Attacking Wubao will inevitably arouse the anger and resistance of Nanyang and even Jingxiang people. In the future, the two sides will have no room for maneuver and can only fight to the end. This will seriously hinder the process of unification of the world; For the sake of the lives and wealth of the clan, the masters and suzerains of the docks will definitely stand up to the wall, which will endanger the lives of the soldiers and affect the combat effectiveness of the army; Bing and others built it to save their lives. These docks have no wealth, and they are not the same as the docks of the rich and powerful. They should be treated differently and cannot be generalized.

Zhong Yao made a suggestion for this, first send people to hold the edict of the emperor, recruit Wubao from all over the country, and gain the trust and support of the rich and powerful in Nanyang. The conflict between the two sides laid the foundation for the reconstruction and stability after the capture of Nanyang, as well as for the implementation of various strategies to defeat the enemy, such as recruiting, alienating, and splitting, in the later process of attacking Xiangyang.

"Well said, well said, Aiqing said well..." The little emperor pointed at Wang Dang, who was gearing up, and blamed, "You know how to kill, kill, you see how thoughtful Zhong Aiqing is, even if you kill someone, you have to kill him." There is a high-sounding reason, you can’t be as vicious as bandits. Do you think you are still the leader of the Taihang Mountain bandits? Now you are the right general of the big man, and your army is also the benevolent and righteous teacher of the big man. How can you burn, kill and loot?”

"Yes, yes... I know my mistake, I know my mistake..." Wang Dang's face darkened, he gave Zhong Yao a hard look, and bowed to admit his guilt.

"You take my imperial decree, bring five thousand elites, and the Hu cavalry battalion of General Jifeng, and return them quickly." The little emperor secretly winked at Wang Dang with Zhong Yao on his back, "Before the New Year, put This matter is settled, otherwise you will go back to Chang'an."

Wang carefully understood, "Your Majesty, there are too many forts in Nanyang, and it will take at least a month to solve them all. Can you give me another 1 horses or send another army?"

"Oh..." The little emperor scratched his head and turned his gaze to Yan Liang.Zhong Yao didn't wait for him to speak, and knelt down first, "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead an army..."

"Oh..." The little emperor screamed, jumped up from the seat, and rushed up to help Zhong Yao up in two or three steps, "No, no, Aiqing is too old to go. It's the severe winter season, It's too hard to lead the army day and night, let Yan Aiqing go. Yan Aiqing is the number one hero of the Han Dynasty, and it is his job to go to the front. If I let you go, I will be charged with disrespect."

Zhong Yao was bitter and sighed in frustration.Wang Dangben was a yellow turban commander, and his subordinates were also yellow turban warriors. He had an innate hatred for Wubao.Back then, the Yellow Turban Army attacked Wubao, burned, killed and looted, leaving only a piece of scorched earth in the end. The methods were very cruel.Let Wang Dang go to fight Wubao, the result is self-evident.Yan Liang is bloodthirsty and famous all over the world, he went to appease Wubao, which Wubao would dare to surrender?If you don't surrender, you will fight, and if you finish the fight, you will kill. The fate of Nanyang Wubao can be imagined.

=

The development of the matter was exactly as Zhong Yao expected.

Wang Dang rode [-] steps towards the southeast of Wancheng to attack, attacking every fort and killing anyone he met. For a while, smoke and dust billowed and corpses littered the field.

Yan Liang took Changshuiying and Hubenying to attack the southwest of Wancheng. He was even more bloody, not only attacking Wupu, but also ordinary villages.From the Xinye and Rangcheng lines to the Xiangyang and Dengxian lines within hundreds of miles, all the houses were burned, all the money, food and property were robbed, and 10,000+ people in Nanyang were heartbroken, crying all the way, quickly crossing the Han River, and fled to Xiangyang.

This sudden killing caused Nanyang to fall into extreme panic, and almost all the people began to flee southward.Before Liu Biao had time to fortify the wall and clear the country, the Han army helped him. However, in a short period of time, hundreds of thousands of people fled to Xiangyang, which made the situation in Xiangyang suddenly tense.

The purpose of the Han army is very clear, which is to turn the area from Xinye to Xiangyang more than 150 miles into a no-man's land, so that the iron cavalry of the Han army can exert their power and gallop between Xinye and Xiangyang. The Han army only needs [-] iron cavalry , Jingzhou's reinforcements can be firmly suppressed on the front line of the Han River, and then the Han army can gather all the infantry troops to launch a fierce attack on the three cities of Wancheng, Nieyang and Yuyang.

However, this kind of bloody massacre and looting is very detrimental to the Han army's attack on Jingxiang. An astonishing news, the general wrote to the emperor, begging the emperor to allow him to marry the eldest princess on the seventh day of the first lunar month.

=

At the beginning, the marriage given by the emperor was just a kind of marriage contract, and the specific wedding time was not determined with the general.Now that the general's condition has just improved, he immediately put forward the request to marry the eldest princess, and the date has also been fixed, which gives people a very sudden and hasty feeling, and at the same time gives people a feeling of impending rain and suffocation .

The general recovered from his illness and is going to marry the eldest princess again. What will happen next?
In front of the ministers, the little emperor was very resentful, "Auntie agreed with me at the beginning, that I must participate in the wedding ceremony. I only have one aunt. When she gets married, how can I not participate? Now there are only ten days before the big ceremony, and I can’t leave Nanyang, what should I do? What should I do?”

He looked at the ministers, rolled his eyes, and immediately put on a flattering smile, "Can I go to Jinyang?"

The ministers gave him a blank stare in unison.At this time, he left the battlefield alone and went to Jinyang to participate in the grand general's wedding ceremony, thanks to which he figured it out.

"I travel day and night, and I can only go back and forth for more than 20 days at most. I won't delay any major events." The little emperor drooped his head, mourned his face, and begged pitifully, "All my lovers are the pillars of the country, the world is virtuous, and Nanyang is such a small matter , isn’t it within reach?”

The ministers had their own thoughts, and none of them paid attention to him.The little emperor looked left and right, curled his mouth, and cried, crying very sadly, "I'm going to Jinyang... I must go... I miss my aunt..."

Jia Xu didn't like it, so she turned around and ran away.Fu Gan hugged his head, "I have a headache, let me take my leave first..." and ran away.Yushi cupped his hands and was about to speak, but the little emperor grabbed his robe sleeve and cried even more miserably, "Aiqing, you can go with me..." Yushi didn't know what to do, and looked at Wang Ling, Yang Xiu and the others in relief. people.Without saying a word, Yang Xiu ran away from the big tent.Wang Ling and Jiang Ji gave Yushi a wry smile sympathetically, and left too.

Zhong Yao hesitated for a long time, and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, if you want to participate in the grand ceremony of the eldest princess, you can order the general to ask him to postpone the marriage until after the end of the Nanyang war..."

"Wow..." the little emperor burst into tears, "Auntie's hair has turned white because of me, how could I be so unkind and filial and make her sad..."

Zhong Yao was so ashamed that he pleaded guilty and left.The big tent was empty in a blink of an eye, and the ministers had all left.

"Okay, okay..." Yushi patted the little emperor in his arms lightly, "Everyone is gone, so don't cry..."

The little emperor secretly glanced at the big tent from under Yushi's ribs, and immediately stopped crying, and laughed, "Aiqing, my aunt is so powerful, she can guess such things."

Yushi sighed, with a sad tone, "In today's world, apart from Your Majesty, who else is willing to marry the eldest princess to the general?"

"Yes..." The little emperor patted Yushi's chest, "And you, Aiqing."

"Chen..." Yushi hesitated to speak, and moved his lips twice, but he still didn't say anything.Why is he willing to let the general marry the eldest princess?It is one thing to have a marriage contract, but it is another thing to take home as a wife. After the general and the eldest princess get married, who can predict whether it will be a blessing or a curse?Brother, I hope you can still plan strategies like you did in the past and be invincible. Don't ruin the big man just because of a mistake.

The little emperor wiped away his tears and stood up with a smile, "Auntie told me before she went to Jinyang that the ministers would prevent her from getting married, so she specially told me a way to deal with it. But this way makes me too embarrassed, dignified The emperor of a big man can always cry in public? Hey..." The little emperor sighed helplessly, "But I am really sad and want to cry. My aunt only has me as a relative. When she got married, I was not with her Beside..." Suddenly he thought of something, and sat opposite Yushi, "Aiqing, is it because Auntie is worried that I won't be able to cry, so she deliberately doesn't let me participate in her big ceremony, which makes me heartbroken..."

"Does Your Majesty really want to go to Jinyang?" Yushi took the little emperor's hand and asked lovingly.

"You want to go too?" said the little emperor, "You and the general are like brothers, so you must really want to visit him in Jinyang, but the general must be recovering from his illness, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry to marry his aunt. "

Knowing that the little emperor was comforting her, Yushi suddenly felt sore, and tears immediately moistened her eyes.Brother, our hard work these years has not been in vain. The little emperor has really grown up and become sensible. Even if the big man does not have you and me, the little emperor can manage it well.

In December, Chang'an.

The emperor and the Xingtai ministers tended to modify the official system. This news made Chang'an very excited for a while, and the prime minister Li Wei also restrained his edge and concentrated on "scheming". There was a rare "stability" in the hall, but as news came from Jinyang that the general was about to marry the eldest princess, this illusion of "stability" was immediately broken.

Prime Minister Li Wei rushed to Shangshutai to call on Hushi General Zhao Yun, Taifu Liu He, and Shangshu Ling Tianchou, and asked to leave Beijing on leave.He received an invitation from the general and the eldest princess, and went north to Jinyang to attend the general's wedding ceremony.

The prime minister's departure from the capital is a major national event, without the approval of the emperor, it is absolutely impossible, but now the situation is special, the emperor is far away in the Nanyang battlefield, and it takes time for the messenger to go back and forth, and the general will marry the eldest princess on the seventh day of the first lunar month, so the time must be too late Second, Li Wei was jointly invited by the General and the Eldest Princess, and the General intends to ask Li Wei to be the man's emissary to welcome the bride. After discussing it, it was decided to let Li Wei leave Beijing first, and at the same time write a letter to the emperor, asking the emperor to issue an order for approval.

Li Wei has left Beijing, and Chang'an is also bustling. Amidst the sound of firecrackers in the coming New Year, Chang'an's aristocratic families, bureaucrats, merchants and rich men took advantage of various opportunities to gather together to discuss how to deal with "" Stormy storm".

On December 24, Cui Jun, a court official, and Cui Lin, the left supervisor of Ting Wei, suddenly visited the imperial servant Cui Yan.

Cui Jun is the son of Cui Lie, a native of Anping in Jizhou Anping Kingdom.The Cui family in Anping is very powerful. It has a history of 300 years since Emperor Xiaozhao. The most famous figures are Cui Yi, Cui Yuan, Cui Shi and Cui Lie. (Anping is only a few tens of miles away from Boling, so it is also called Boling Anping Cuijia. Boling Cuijia and Qinghe Cuijia are the first surnames of famous clans in history. If counting from the decline of clans in the mid-Tang Dynasty, the Cui clan is in It has been beautiful in history for more than 800 years.)
Cui Yan and Cui Lin are cousins ​​from Dongwu City in Qinghe Kingdom, Jizhou.The Cui family of Qinghe and the Cui family of Boling belong to the same ancestor, but the Cui family of Boling has always prided themselves on being the rightful son, and the Cui family of Qinghe also admits this, generally saying that they are from Boling.

The three belong to the same generation, Cui Yan is the oldest, handsome, amazingly talented, and famous all over the world. Now he is the master of the New Confucianism, and he is also regarded as a highly respected figure in the court.Compared with him, Cui Jun and Cui Lin are far behind, so at the beginning Cui Lie vigorously cultivated Cui Yan, supported Qinghe Cui's family, and left his son and Boling Cui's family aside.

Cui Yan welcomed the two of them into the study, and before he could say a few words, Cui Jun directly explained the purpose of coming, "Brother Ji Gui, there have been a lot of gossip about you in Chang'an recently, should you avoid it and don't push yourself into Be on the cusp of the storm, so as not to harm the clan."

Cui Jun said this sentence with a smile, but the meaning in the words was very sharp.The smile on Cui Yan's face gradually dissipated, he stared at Cui Jun and asked in a cold voice: "Don't you know that disaster is imminent?"

Cui Jun and Cui Lin looked at each other, disapproving.

"The matter of the eldest princess and the general has been going on for more than ten years. They will be a family sooner or later. What's the fuss about it?" Cui Jun said, "The eldest princess is a big man, she has worked hard and sacrificed too much. Many, we courtiers should also have a bit of conscience, and let her wish come true. Now she is almost thirty, and she is still alone, lonely and desolate. Can you bear it? Do you have to wait until the general dies, or wait until the general dies? She has white hair, so we let her go?"

"Your Majesty is ten years old this year. Just wait another three years, or six more years, and the Eldest Princess will have her wish fulfilled. Since she has been waiting for more than ten years, why can't she wait another three or five years?" Cui Yan He said sharply, "Don't deceive yourself, don't you know what the general wants to do?"

"What does the general want to do?" Cui Jun suddenly dispatched the case, and shouted with his eyes wide open, "Does he still want to usurp the country? If he wants to usurp the country, he has a lot of opportunities. Back then when the [-]-strong army Chen Bing Huang He threatened Luoyang, it was an opportunity. Back then, King Qin After success, the chances will be even better. When Emperor Xiaoxian passed away, where can we find good opportunities? Now that the little emperor has grown up and his wings are getting richer, he will go against the sky and usurp the country. Is this possible? The emperor was just five years old, and he took him with him to conquer the world. He tried every means to make the emperor grow up, let the little emperor control the army, and let the little emperor make achievements. Why did he do this? Is it to make the little emperor full-fledged, and then Compete with the little emperor? Are you brainless, or the general is brainless? My father is really confused, why would he take a fancy to you? How do you look like a ZTE official?"

Cui Yan was furious, and just about to refute, Cui Lin stood up, "Don't be angry, two brothers, as a family, talk well, don't quarrel, the more noisy the worse."

Cui Yan snorted coldly, restrained his anger, and said slowly: "Now the situation is clear, the general is eager to marry the eldest princess before he recovers, the purpose is to suppress Chang'an, and the purpose of suppressing Chang'an is to control Chang'an. He supports Li Wei and supports the reform of the imperial court. That is to say, he acquiesces to Li Wei's reform and wants the reformers to firmly control the government. The fundamental purpose of the emperor's conquest of the world is to deeply plant the concept of people-oriented in the heart of the little emperor, so as to ensure the interests of the people in the world, ensure the long-term implementation of the reform policy, and ensure that ZTE's great cause follows the people-oriented idea Continue to advance, but in fact, Li Wei's restructuring is deviating from this idea. New systems such as salt and iron government management, equal emphasis on agriculture and business, and dictation of land have not benefited the 'people'. On the contrary, he has seriously damaged the interests of the 'people' .”

"To use the simplest analogy, what actual benefits have our Cui family gained from the New Deal in these years? No, our Cui family's wealth has not increased at all. On the contrary, we have less land and no households. It is difficult for our disciples and children to enter the imperial court, and even the money and food we lent to the imperial court on credit have been embezzled. If you look at ordinary people, have their lives improved? No, the heavy rent and corvee make it difficult for them ,Life is hard."

"On the contrary, look at Li Wei, look at the military class, look at the merchants who had no status in the past, look at the rich people who had no power in the past, and see if their wealth is increasing? Are the fields they occupy increasing? They Is the power of the Chinese government increasing? What is even more ridiculous is that those poor scholars who are fluent in the scriptures, shameless merchants, and vulgar rich people dare to enter the house and openly serve as our ministers. If this continues, can the big man be prosperous again? Can the people still live and work in peace and contentment? Can Han Zuo last forever?"

Cui Jun remained silent.

"The general's marriage to the eldest princess was not for the purpose of usurping the land. On this point, there was a consensus among the whole court, and we also wished them well, but the crux of the matter is that the general chose to marry the eldest princess at this time, which was tantamount to publicly supporting Li Wei. Restructuring, in this way, does the little emperor dare to stand by our side?"

"The purpose of modifying the official system is first to redistribute power and weaken the strength of the reform faction, and then use the power struggle between Xingtai and Jinyang to win over the little emperor, and then correct the unreasonable parts of the reform step by step to ensure that ZTE's strategy continues to advance in accordance with the people-oriented approach."

Cui Jun thought for a while, shook his head, and said solemnly: "In today's court, the real power is the general. If you do this, you will definitely anger him. This time the general invited Li Wei to Jinyang in the name of marrying the eldest princess." , is obviously a warning to Chang An. In my opinion, you should stop confronting Li Wei."

"Yes, brother, you have to think carefully and be careful." Cui Lin also persuaded, "After the prime minister left Beijing, the aristocratic families in Chang'an have two attitudes. One is to join hands with the clan ministers to do everything possible to support the little emperor. Let the little emperor take power first, and then find a way to control the government and rebuild the law. Although this method takes a long time, it is safe and effective. For example, Xu Jing, Xun You, Zhang Fan, Yuan Yao and other adults hold this attitude. "

"There are also some people who plan to cooperate with the little emperor to revise the official system after the Nanyang war ends and the little emperor returns to Beijing, so as to intensify the conflict between Jinyang and Chang'an, and then use the relationship between the eldest princess and the little emperor to force the general to do something. Make concessions, thereby weakening Li Wei's authority, and prepare for the next step of rebuilding the law. Chen Qun, Dong Zhao, Yuan Huan, Sima Lang, Wei Ji (ji) and other ministers hold this opinion."

"In short, before the little emperor does not really control the power, we should not break with Jinyang, so as not to anger the general and bring disaster to the society." Cui Lin said earnestly, "Brother Ji Gui, don't listen to some people's words, lest you get hurt." They were taken advantage of by them."

Cui Yan sighed bitterly, "How do you know my suffering? Xu Shao, Wang Jian, Zhang Yan, Xiang Kai, Wang Zhen and others recently talked about Confucianism and Taoism in Xuanweng Mountain, Jinyang. Confucianism and Confucianism have been debated all night long with Confucian scholars in Jinyang. Zhang Yan said that Daoism and Confucianism should be blended together, and Xiang Kai proposed to replace Confucianism with Daoism.

Cui Jun and Cui Lin were shocked when they heard this. "Is this true?" Cui Jun asked in a low voice.

"After the general and the eldest princess are married, they have too much power. If they are persuaded by Zhang Yan, Xu Shao, Xiang Kai and others to introduce Taoism, Huang and Lao into the national policy, not only the great cause of ZTE will be affected, but also the new classics will be affected. The status of officials and academics will be challenged." Cui Yan said angrily, "Zhang Yan, Yang Feng and many civil and military ministers of the Yellow Turban family used to study the "Taiping Jing" in Zhang Jiao, and they are all Taoist children. They are just waiting for an opportunity. Now they see that the New Confucianism and the Modern and Ancient Classical Confucianism have lost both sides, and then they are preparing to make a comeback, and the sudden appearance of Xiangkai must have a lot to do with this matter."

"Zhang Yan studied the "Taiping Jing", does he dare to mention it now?" Cui Jun asked, "Is he not afraid that the eldest princess will chop off his head?"

"Zhang Yan is a student of Taoism, and he studied Laozi and the Four Classics of the Yellow Emperor." Cui Yan sighed, "I have always underestimated him, but I didn't expect him to be so profound in Daoism, that he would give this time with such There is a way to make a comeback."

Cui Jun and Cui Lin looked at each other, feeling that the situation in Chang'an was getting more and more complicated.

"I will never let him succeed." Cui Yan resolutely said loudly, "I will kill anyone who dares to blaspheme the New Confucianism."
