Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 828 The end of the war
What is Zhou Cang busy with?He entrusted all military affairs to Lu Xun, and devoted himself to repairing the outline of governing the country and finding out the shortcomings of his own political system.

Equal emphasis on morality and law seems to be perfect, but he always felt that there was something missing, and he realized it after visiting the villagers.It is difficult for various ideas to penetrate to the lowest level of the people, and the people who only know about farming and weaving, and their wives and children can neither comprehend nor digest it. All this is too far away for them, and they don't care.

Faith, Zhou Cang found that faith is still essential.After much deliberation, he decided to continue Liu Xie's original commitment to the Five Dou Rice Sect and make it a national religion.He specially sent someone to invite Zhang Sheng, the fourth generation of celestial master, to come to Wuxian County to discuss major plans.

The first is the name, which is called Taoism, and the leader is called Tianshi.The imperial court was responsible for religious affairs by the Honglu Department, and negotiated to resolve any problems.Zhou Cang set four bottom lines: one is not to be involved in military affairs, the other is not to collect money, the third is not to cooperate with the enemy and betray the country, and the fourth is not to deceive the public.

The second is to repair the doctrine.Health preservation can be done, alchemy and immortality are fine, and healing and saving people are almost the same; personal cultivation of mind and character can also be done, solving worries and problems, and being kind to others is the foundation of teaching; quietness and inaction can also be done. , benefiting the common people is the right way; being indifferent to fame and fortune is okay, ignoring fame and fortune, and persuading people to make progress is the truth; karma can be mentioned, and it is better to say less about gods and ghosts...

Finally, missionary.Taoists are allowed to preach everywhere, and Taoist temples can also be set up as places for Taoists to discuss and rest, but they need to be frugal, and the scale of the establishment is limited by grades and cannot be exceeded.

The two talked thoroughly for three days, and Zhang Sheng was impressed by Zhou Cang's erudition, and he greatly agreed with Zhou Cang's idea of ​​taking into account personal cultivation. The only thing he worried about was the dispute of orthodoxy.During the reign of Emperor Ming, Buddhism flowed in, and Tao Qian built a pagoda during his lifetime. What should we do if there will be conflicts between Buddhism and Taoism in the future?
Zhou Cang said with a smile: "Taoism is the state religion, and the imperial court will naturally support it, but it will not impose it on the people. How to win the trust of the common people is up to you. As long as your morality is recognized by the people, you will not be afraid of others to fight."

In order to prevent the Taoist family from monopolizing and losing their motivation, Zhou Cang kept him alive. Zhang Sheng didn't dare to force him, but he won the treatment of being able to participate in the grand ceremony of the country. Zhou Cang deliberately left room for Zhang Sheng.

The issue of faith was successfully resolved, and Zhou Cang began to trim his feathers.Going deep into the folks, there are not only poor people but also scholarly scholars. When chatting with a scholar named Mu Qiu, Mu Qiu frankly mentioned that since the Yellow Turbans started the army, the world was chaotic and the princes were fighting. Some people in Lido commented that Zhou Cang is not profitable and can't get up early, and some people say that Zhou Cang obtained his current status by relying on speculation.

Mu Qiu was so frank, or disrespectful, which made Zhou Cang very suspicious. Zhang Zuo passed a note to Zhou Cang.It seems that the Mu brothers are very knowledgeable. Of course Zhou Cangwei's extremely talented minister does not want to be criticized by others, but how should he do it.

In the Jinan Imperial Palace, Liu Xie felt refreshed.His son Liu Kang grounded his feet to study and became enlightened, so Liu Xie handed over the Zongzheng Mansion to Liu Kang for temporary management, and chatted with Liu Ming and Liu Liang when he was bored.

"General Lu Xun's power in Yanzhou is like a broken bamboo, and His Majesty will return to Luoyang just around the corner."

"It's all thanks to Zhou Qing." Liu Xie couldn't suppress his excitement.

"Your Majesty still has the discerning eye. At that time, His Majesty was close to the crown, but he could see from the many civil and military affairs that Zhou Xiang was a minister of the arm and shoulders, and he entrusted him with a heavy responsibility." Liu Ming said.

"Yes, Your Majesty returned to the East, seeing through the ugly faces of the princes in the Guandong who only know how to fight for power and profit, ordered Lu Bu to be king, and ordered Zhou Xiang to hide his strength and save his strength. Although Lu Wenhou lost, Zhou Xiang finally lived up to His Majesty's entrustment, and today's matter is achieved. Think At that time, Prime Minister Zhou was no more than the prefect of Guangling, so His Majesty still has far-sighted plans."

Uh?And this thing?Why can't I remember that I had this expectation for Zhou Cang back then.Feeling puzzled in his heart, Liu Xie naturally wouldn't say it out, and said very modestly: "Well, the journey back to the east can be described as bumpy, sleeping in the fields, not having enough to eat, and many things are still in a trance in retrospect."

"Your Majesty, the imperial court was in chaos, and most of the records and memorials have been lost. If Your Majesty hadn't stated that General Lu Bu was going to Kanto under the orders of His Majesty and Wang Situ, I'm afraid no one would be able to rectify the name of General Lu Bu."

Zhang Lu, the Chief of the Inner Palace, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have an idea, which is to announce to the world the inside information that people didn't know in the past, and to increase a lot of income for the Inner Palace."

Hearing that there is money to be made, Liu Xie hurriedly asked, "Tell me quickly."

"There are almost no veterans in the court. There are many things that only your majesty knows. Why don't your majesty dictate and compile them in the palace and compile them into a book. Once this book comes out of Jinan, it will be expensive."

Publish books and sell money?good idea.Liu Xie's eyes narrowed into a line.

Liu Xie named the book "The First Half of My Life" in just one cup of tea.Zhang Lu also thought about it, don't wait for the whole book to be written, and send as much as you write. This is called serial update, which is exclusively issued by the Neifu. Ten issues is one hundred thousand, only more and no less.In the end, it was compiled into a book and sold as a whole, one silver dollar per book.

"The First Half of My Life" begins with the ten servants causing chaos and Yuan Shu burning down the palace.Liu Xie took two days to prepare the manuscript, some of the content was fleeting, and some of the content was heavy and thick. Liu Xie's instructions not only showed Liu Xie's outstanding insight, but also made a reasonable explanation for Zhou Cang's behavior: the princes of the Kanto were powerful but not trustworthy. Prepare for Kuangfu Han Dynasty; Liu Xie endured humiliation in Cao Ying, waiting for Zhou Cang to accumulate enough strength to revive the Han Dynasty.

The first issue of "The First Half of My Life" "Luoyang Rebellion" came out, and [-] copies were sold out quickly. This is the first time I heard about the book written by the emperor, not to mention that there may be little-known secrets in it, everyone should see it first.Zhang Lu earned a lot of money, Liu Xiexi smiled.

After the selection of the Ten Holy Dukes, Liu Xie found a new job, and his life was full.

Liu Xie is full, but Cao Pi is very empty.Cao Ren was defeated, news of Xia Houshang and Sima Yi's retreat spread to Luoyang, and the government and the public were shaken, and Cao Ren was sick again. Many people began to worry about Sizhou, so some people led by Hua Xin persuaded Cao Pi to move his capital to Chang'an, which made Cao Pi even more unhappy.

Could it be that my troops cannot stop the Han army?Cao Pi was worried about Cao Ren's illness. If Cao Ren was seriously ill, Sizhou might be difficult to defend, so he sent Cao Ren's second son Cao Kai to Dingtao to visit him, and issued an edict to Cao Zhen and Jiang Wei again, ordering them to send troops to Yizhou as soon as possible.
