Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1201: Dominating the territory is called preaching?
As soon as the dragon was cut off and lost contact with the front and back, it immediately showed a trend of dilapidation and collapse. In fact, it was a pattern of top and bottom loss.

Nowadays, the Li family in Shu has worshiped Fan Changsheng as the national master and supported the heavenly master with the fortune of the country. It is actually difficult to distinguish between the two, especially the upper echelons of the imperial court in central Shu are almost all Taoists.

Taoism at this time was actually mostly based on alchemy, but because of respect for Laozi, it also absorbed many Taoist ideas.

Although Taoism and Taoism are two different things, it does not prevent Taoists from using Lao Tzu's words to express their own thoughts.

Especially after Chen Xue gradually became popular, many of Chen Zhi's comments on Taoism and Taoism were used by Fan Changsheng and enriched into Taoist classics.

Therefore, when the Shu land was governed, it had some meaning of governing by doing nothing.

At that time, some people commented on Li Xiong, saying that he was "generous in nature and simple in punishment and law". He seemed to advocate inaction, but the final effect was that the imperial team did not establish an effective management system, which led to problems in the management of small populations. !

At this moment, the flaw was caught and the dragon of luck was directly cut off!

Suddenly, Li Xiong felt something in his heart, and suddenly felt a sense of emptiness and panic. This had not been experienced for a long time after he became big. Since he had territory, population, and soldiers, he felt confident. Rizu is no longer as rootless and duckweed as it was before.

But at this moment, the feeling of being rootless came to my mind again, and I felt like I was looking around at a loss.

But before the Lord of Shu had time to explore the changes in his heart, he saw that the old Taoist priest who was sitting cross-legged suddenly felt violently shaken, and then he was bleeding from all his orifices, and he was even more dying!
Even if Li Xiong didn't know the mysterious art of tunneling, he could still see that something was wrong with this situation. The old Taoist priest clearly showed signs of defeat!

Suddenly, Li Xiong showed a panicked expression, unable to suppress the fear in his heart.

The current situation in Shu Land cannot be sustained by relying on one's own soldiers and horses. Whether it can survive depends entirely on the ability of the old Taoist priest. If he loses, the so-called two or three years of free time will be out of the question. , completely become a mirror image.

So he hurried forward to care.

Similarly, Henry Zhang and others could no longer sit still and stepped forward one after another to pay attention to the situation.

The old Taoist priest reluctantly opened his eyes, and then he became energetic. At least he regained some vitality. Then he shook his head and said, "The current destiny of the Shu Dynasty has been ruined by the Chen family!"

Li Xiong didn't understand, but he also knew that it was not a trivial matter, but a major matter involving his family and life, so he remained silent and listened to the words of the people in front of him.

Henry Zhang took a breath of cold air and couldn't help but said: "Then what kind of magic method did Chen use to break the fate of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Shu so easily!"

The old Taoist smiled wryly, and said: "Where is the need for any method, just like that Xuanjia went out to fight, but to walk in a dignified way, with moral articles and sages' enlightenment, all obstacles will be wiped away!"

Henry Zhang was stunned, and then his expression changed drastically!
Even when he first learned that Chen also knew the way of luck, he had never seen him lose his composure, but now he showed an expression of fear and even horror.

Even Li Xiong was a little confused when he saw it.The old Taoist priest sighed, nodded and said: "It seems that you have understood. It's ridiculous. People in the world thought that Chen was just greedy for power and wanted to imitate Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao. But they didn't know that this little bit of power in the world was no longer controlled. In his eyes, this person has bigger plans!"

Henry Zhang took a deep breath, and then said with a worried face: "In this way, I am afraid that this attack on Shu is not just for territory, but also for my luck!"

Li Xiong was listening, but he was a little confused. In his opinion, the territory, population, power and dynasty were the most important things. Then the Chen family sent the Xuanjia Army to attack Shu, wasn't it? To unify the scattered world? Apart from that, what other reasons could it not be possible for?
Moreover, at such a critical moment, the old Taoist priest saw that he was about to return to his former glory. Why are you still talking about this here? Why don't you quickly find a way to stop it?
Seemingly sensing Li Xiong's thoughts, the old Taoist priest shook his head slightly, and then gave a signal to Zhang Xuan. After the latter understood, he turned around and explained to Li Xiong: "It seems that the Chen family is occupying land in the north. I want to be the overlord of the north and rule across the river from the Jiangzuo court in the south, but in fact, these are just appearances!"

"Appearance?" Li Xiong looked puzzled, "This real territory, the real Xuanjia Army, several battles that shocked the world, and even the destruction of several countries in succession, are they just appearances? Is there any power comparable to this? Status, what is more important to Chen?"

"Of course there is," Henry Zhang shook his head slightly, showing a sigh, "We all thought that Chen was a famous official, but we didn't expect that he was still a famous person at heart, and what he valued was not only power, but also famous!"

"Duplicate name?" Li Xiong frowned, "How to duplicate it?"

“It’s about inheritance!”

As soon as Henry Zhang said this, Li Xiong finally understood.

"Chen Xue?"

"Yes, it's Chen Xue!" The old Taoist priest completely recovered his energy at this time, and asked his disciples to bring over a few volumes of Taoist scriptures, "Dominate the North, set up imperial examinations, and then spread Chen Xue. Since then, this study has become If people in the world want to serve as officials and do things, they must learn from it. This is much smoother than our hard work of spreading Taoism! But if we are allowed to fight for hegemony in the world..."

When he said this, he said no more and just glanced at Li Xiong, who immediately understood.

The Chen family strives for hegemony in the north and then spreads Chen learning, just like those Buddhists who attach themselves to big forces and then spread Buddhism. In contrast, the Taoism in Shu actually also takes action, that is, Fan Changsheng comes out to assist him Li male.

This is actually the same truth. Li Xiong is the lord of Shu. He has accepted Taoism. As long as his power expands in the future, he will naturally spread the Taoism of Tianshi Tao in Shu, which will also be a show of learning.

It's just that now it seems...

"In this case, if Chen breaks Shu, it will be detrimental to the holy way of the Heavenly Master. How can the teacher tolerate him?"

Li Xiong's remarks made Henry Zhang and others secretly sigh, knowing that in the end, a tyrant, no matter how polite and considerate he usually is, he still treats the people around him as pawns.

The old Taoist priest is already like this. A discerning person will know that he is about to die soon. However, Li Xiong still said such words, which is actually forcing the old Taoist priest to die to protect Shu!

Fan Changsheng glanced at Li Xiong, but laughed instead: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this matter is indeed as you said, if the land of Shu is breached, my teaching will have to change drastically, this matter is actually not a matter of one family in one place , but it is a matter for all parties, so for this battle, there should be reinforcements!"

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped the Tianling Cover!
