Showdown: I'm Reborn

Chapter 231 Rumors in the Jianghu (Happy Labor Day)

Today's situation?
Emperor Ling was about to die, but He Jin personally forced Yuan Shao to death, and even ordered Yuan Shu to be arrested. Now the whole world is chasing and killing Yuan Shu, even Yuan Shao's relatives and friends are also hunted down.

There is even a vague tendency to use this as an excuse to trigger the third disaster of party imprisonment.However, at present, it seems that this is more like a kind of intimidation. He Jin is intimidating other families. Be careful, otherwise I will do whatever...

The top aristocratic families are waiting, waiting for the death of the Lingdi. As long as the Lingdi dies, then He Jin wants to control the world and will eventually cooperate with the aristocratic family, but everyone can no longer maintain the close cooperation as in the past.

But what does this matter?

It is also acceptable for the aristocratic family to cooperate because of interests, exchange interests, and trade power.

At that time, you can slowly persuade He Jin to build a noble house according to the saying of Wolong in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. When the time comes, the holy emperor will rule and the sages will replace the emperor's herdsmen. Wouldn't it be beautiful?
Everyone in the world is waiting, waiting for Emperor Ling to die!

As long as Emperor Ling is alive, under the centralization system, he will be the supreme master of the Han Dynasty, even if it is the Yuan family of the fourth generation and three princes, even the Yang family who has been a Taiwei for generations, even the Xunzi who is known as the descendant of Xunzi. Shi, in front of Emperor Ling, is just a matter of one sentence.

This is the Son of Heaven!
The real Son of Heaven may not be the opponent of a certain class, and the power contained in the Son of Heaven is not comparable to a certain class, but if the goal of the Son of Heaven is not a certain class, but just a certain person of a certain class, or a certain family, then it is still crushed.

Therefore, in order to continue to exist under the oppression of the eunuchs, the Yuan family directly recognized one of the ten permanent servants with the surname Yuan as the Yuan family.

Therefore, in order to continue to exist under the oppression of the eunuch, Xun Yu directly married the daughter of a certain Zhongchang attendant as his wife.

This is the reality!
The mere Yuan family, Yang family, Xun family, Jiangxia Huang family, Taiyuan Wang family and other aristocratic families are like chickens waiting to be slaughtered in front of the current Emperor Ling. The only difference is whether the Emperor Ling is willing to pay enough to kill Die these chickens.

Although everyone knew that under normal circumstances, Emperor Ling would not do this unless he went crazy, but what if he really went crazy before he died?

After I die, who cares about the flood?
Don't you think it's ridiculous to expect him to remain rational and calm when he's about to die?
It is not surprising for a dying person to do any kind of strange things. The more this is the case, the more honest the major families will be.

They are all waiting, waiting for Lingdi to die!
Therefore, Emperor Ling promoted Lu Zhi as grand master, but the aristocratic family pretended not to see it.

Emperor Ling promoted Zheng Xuan to be the Grand Master, in order to win over Zheng Xuan and his disciples, making them Liu Bian's senior brothers, but the aristocratic family still pretended not to see it.

Emperor Ling directly followed the list in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, as long as he found heroes, he would immediately verify their abilities, and if they had abilities, he would directly canonize them as officials of the Eastern Palace. The family still pretended not to see them.

It's not that the family has no way, who wouldn't procrastinate?
Direct procedural justice, kicking the ball, one push two five six, these skills are not unique to bureaucrats of later generations, they have been the same for thousands of years.

Not to mention that there is Chu Xuan, the mastermind behind the scenes, and even Taoist Changkong's entry into the palace this time has been discussed with Chu Xuan long ago.

"The current situation is still stable on the surface, but there are turbulent waves under the water surface. There are endless careerists from all walks of life, especially the person who wrote the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I don't know what his purpose is."

"What do you think of the priest?" He Hou asked casually.

However, his right hand quietly raised the teacup, and lowered his head to blow on the boiling hot tea. It seemed that if he accidentally let go of his hand, the teacup would fall to the ground.

As for whether this is a secret signal, or if the cup fell to the ground by accident, we can only find out after all this happens.

Taoist Changkong seemed to know nothing, and shook his head with a smile: "I'm just an outsider, and my ability to understand the current situation is already the limit. Public affairs have nothing to do with me."

Hearing this, He Hou took a sip of tea with a smile, and put the teacup firmly on the table: "Yes, we are all women after all, and all major events in the world are done by those men. Nothing to do."

"So, why did the Taoist priest teach me?"

Hearing this, Taoist Changkong shook his head again.

Although it is said in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Taoist Changkong was a great loyal minister, and even rescued Empress He and the eldest princess by stealing beams and changing pillars, but this is only the Three Kingdoms after all, if anyone takes it seriously, hehe...

To put it bluntly, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is just an introduction, an opportunity, an opportunity for the descendants to appear on the court of the Han Dynasty, but whoever thinks that going to the Three Kingdoms is a gold medal for avoiding death, and the aborigines need to be grateful to them, then It's purely overthinking.

Therefore, Taoist Changkong, who knows this, no matter how he asks for opinions or advice, he always talks about him.

This is not what a Taoist should do!

The ruler can ask advice from civil servants and advisers, or from military generals and marshals, but he cannot ask Taoists for advice, especially now that the Yellow Turban Uprising has just ended.

In the end, after being questioned again and again by He Zai, Daoist Changkong said helplessly: "I am originally an outsider. I practiced Taoism in the Baiyun Temple since I was a child. I have practiced it lately until now. I really don't have much opinion on the current government and the situation in the world. "

I'm just an honest Taoist who stays at home, and my practice has always been to be poor and be alone. As for the righteous man in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it's not me, at least not me at this moment.

"Since I tied my hair, I have a heart for the Tao, and I have been pursuing longevity since then."

Longevity has been the pursuit of countless human beings since ancient times.

Because getting longevity means everything!
Longevity is the greatest desire!

"Early before the Yellow Emperor, Taoism appeared. There were ancient predecessors such as Guang Chengzi, who pursued longevity. At that time, the predecessors breathed out and breathed out, refining Qi to live forever. Later, the Yellow Emperor was born. He is the first master of the Taoist method of refining Qi. , and then came the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic."

Only those ignorant people will think that the Yellow Emperor relied on both yin and yang cultivation, and the three thousand beauties in the harem soared in the sun.

For a long time, Taoism was known as the study of Huang Lao.

Huang refers to the Yellow Emperor, and Lao refers to Lao Tzu.

"Later, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Senior Laozi was regarded as the second master of Taoism. Since then, Taoism has successively produced countless seniors such as Liezi and Zhuangzi."

"All along, our purpose is to seek longevity."

Taoism also set foot in the political arena. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Huang's family ruled the world and recuperated, which quickly restored the national strength of the Han Dynasty.

After all, the Huang-Lao school was killed by Confucianism and Emperor Wu together, which is a bit embarrassing.

"As for Xiaodao, my goal has always been to seek longevity. It's just that Xiaodao's way of seeking longevity is not taking medicine, fasting, nor ascending into the sky, nor is it meditation and talisman school, but the original method of refining Qi for longevity."

"If you have free time, Xiao Dao can tell about my way of refining Qi and longevity. As for the general trend of the world, these are really not Taoists, I can get involved."

After a while, He Hou said: "The Taoist priest will talk about it."

"This way of training qi is completely different from the way of qi and blood of generals today, and the way of refining gods of counselors. The sky has the three treasures of sun, moon and stars, the earth has the three treasures of water, fire and wind, and people have the three treasures of energy and spirit. The way of qi and blood Refining is the spiritual path to refining the gods, and my way of refining qi and longevity, as the name suggests, is to refine qi."

"The first step in refining Qi is to generate true Qi, and then the true Qi follows the order of the Twelve Orthodox Meridians, the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and the Hidden Meridians of the whole body to nourish the whole body and gradually evolve the human body..."

"Moreover, this method is more beneficial to female monks..."

At the beginning, He Hou didn't care, she thought Taoist Changkong was just an ordinary Taoist priest. There are too many Taoist priests living in deep mountains and old forests these days in pursuit of longevity.

Mount Hua, Mount Qingcheng, Mount Zhongnan, Mount Kunlun, Mount Emei... In almost every famous mountain and river, there are Taoist priests who live in seclusion and seek longevity.

These Taoist priests do not pay attention to the general situation of the world outside, nor do they care about their personal living conditions. They often live in huts deep in the mountains and eat wild fruits and vegetables on weekdays.

However, following the narration of Taoist Changkong, He later discovered that the method of refining Qi that Changkong described was still very profound.

While Taoist Changkong was preaching to Empress He, Princess Wannianchang quietly left the palace. Ever since she saw the sixth episode, a great hero appeared in Princess Wannianchang's mind. His name is Wang Zongchao.

This great hero can be described as courageous and resourceful. He first took the opportunity to burn Dong Thief's food and grass, which made Dong Thief's army shaken. After learning the news that he was rescued, he led the army back, rode alone, and killed Seven in and seven out.

As early as the night, Princess Wannian began to think about what this Wang Sima looked like, and kept asking Xiao Huangmen about the deeds of this Wang Sima in reality.

He was born at the bottom, and he didn't take any characters, even his name was three characters.

Since Wang Mang changed the system, under normal circumstances, people with a little background have one-syllable names, and the sum of the names is only two-syllable.

With a name like Wang Zongchao, you can tell at a glance that it is a proper mud leg, or the kind of ancestor whose eight generations are all mud legs, otherwise, how could such a name be given?

However, when Princess Wannian saw this name, she only thought that Wang Sima must have been very pitiful when he was young. He didn't have enough food and clothing to keep himself from becoming so successful. It's really not easy.

When Wang Sima was young, he showed his natural supernatural power and unique side. Later, relying on daring to fight and a little luck, he became the leader of the ranger group in his hometown.

Later, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion came, Lao Wang led his fellow villagers to guard one side. The original captain was killed by the Yellow Turbans, and was favored by the prefect, who was appointed as the county captain and the acting captain.

During the tenure, guard one side.

Last year, Emperor Ling summoned heroes from all over the world to perform martial arts, and Wang Zongchao won the first place, which was recognized by Emperor Ling. Then he became a capital official from a county captain, and became a city gate Sima.

Thinking back to Lao Wang's experience repeatedly, Princess Wannian couldn't sleep at all. As soon as the palace gate opened after dawn, she set off. When she came to the school field where Lao Wang was, she found that it had been surrounded several times. .

After a little inquiring, I found out that these people came to watch the excitement, and there were always people challenging Wang Sima.

They want to see how capable this general who is the head of a thousand armies in the novel is and kills a brave general with seven in and seven out. ?

After all, according to the Romance, when this guy finally ran away, he met Lu Bu, but Lu Bu admired his loyalty, so he made an agreement with him for fifty rounds.In the end, after fifty rounds, Lu Bu failed to take him down, so he let him go.

Who was the last one to fight Lu Bu with a [-]-round tie?
It's Guan Yu and Zhang Fei!
"This is Liu Xuande. Look at his two-pronged sword. It is said that it is called Gu Yingfa. One sword is for attacking and the other is for defense. It is very powerful." This is a passerby who knows everything.

"Liu Xuande? Is that the straw sandal seller in Romance?"

"Cough cough, children's words are wuji, children's words are wuji."

"Mr. Xuande's double-strand sword is not only suitable for use on the battlefield, but also suitable for wandering. It is said that in the case of not leading troops, even Zhang Yide and Guan Yunchang are not his opponents in foot battles."

"Yes, I've also heard about this. It is said that when Liu Xuande led the army to quell the rebellion and returned to his hometown in Zhuo County, he met Zhang Yide and Guan Yunchang who came to join the army."

"At that time, in the school field, Liu Xuande subdued the two of them with his double-strand sword. Although it was only a foot fight, it was still very powerful."

The level of foot combat does not represent the ultimate strength of a general.

The key to a general is to look at the Taoist soldiers, to see how many Dao soldiers he can carry the energy and blood of, this is the combat power of a general at its peak.

For example, Liu Bei, he can only carry the energy and blood of 47 Taoist soldiers now, and it will not work if there are too many.Another example is Guan Yu. Although he is slightly inferior to Liu Bei in foot combat, he can already carry 87 Taoist soldiers.

However, due to the large number of Dao soldiers, and Guan Yu's unique Qinglong Qi and blood is too domineering, Guan Yu's face turns red every time he carries it.

There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that Guan Yu was also a serious and handsome guy back then, but now he has become a big red-faced man.

There is also Zhang Fei. It is said that when I first met Liu Bei, he could still draw well. He was a handsome guy with a straight face and a fair face. Now every time he carries the blood of Taoist soldiers, he is like a big black mouse. , especially black.

As for Cao Cao, he used to be a graceful, unrestrained and suave middle-aged handsome man, but now the frequency of carrying Dao soldiers is so high that anyone would think he is short and poor just by looking at his appearance.

However, it is this inconspicuous short man who can carry more Dao soldiers than Guan Yunchang next to him. He can carry [-] Dao soldiers. Senior, he can only carry about a hundred Taoist soldiers.
