Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhou Cang came from the Yellow Turban Army, and the Yellow Turban Army originated from Taiping Dao, which was also a Taoist sect. Yan Liang naturally wanted to ask Zhou Cang about the Taoist sect.  .

    "Your Majesty, as far as I know, since Zhang Jiao died of illness, the Yellow Turbans were destroyed, and Zhang Lu was killed, the Taoist sect is currently led by Zuo Ci of the Danding Sect." Zhou Cang answered with cupped hands.

    Zuo Ci?

    Hearing this familiar name, Yan Liang couldn't help but recall the past history.

    I vaguely remember that in the novel, this Zuo Ci appeared as a Taoist immortal. He used the magical immortal method in the palace several times, with various changes, to tease Cao Cao.

    Yan Liang originally thought that this person was just a character deliberately made up by Luo Guanzhong in order to cheat Cao Cao, but he didn't expect that in this world, there really was a person named Zuo Ci.

    "What does the Danding Sect do?" Yan Liang asked again.

    "The Danding Sect is a branch of the Taoist sect that specializes in elixir refining. It is said that the elixir they refine can prolong life and even lead to immortality."

    ??Elixir?  Immortality?

    Yan Liang frowned slightly, and he couldn't help but remember that a few days ago, Quan Zong, the demoted Qinghe prefect, offered him the elixir to extend his life.

    It now seems that the group of Taoist priests who deceived Quanzong should be from the Danding sect and disciples of Zuo Ci.

    Originally, after Yan Liang was demoted to Quanzong, he no longer cared about it. Now he suddenly heard that a Taoist priest came in and out of Yanmen and had contact with Sima Yi. This made Yan Liang start to become a little suspicious.

    "What about Zuo Ci? What ability does this person have that can succeed Zhang Jiao and become the leader of the Taoist sect?" Yan Liang continued to ask.

    Zhou Cang cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, it is said that Zuo Ci is from the same sect as Zhang Jiao. Both were taught by the old immortal sect of Nanhua. He is the best at transformation. I heard that he can also conjure gold and silver from the void. His immortal magic is astonishing.  , so he is also called Zuo Xianren. It is because of these methods that he was regarded as the leader of the Taoist sect. "

    "Can gold and silver be transformed from the void" Yan Liang raised a trace of disdain at the corner of his mouth, "Where in the world did this bullshit immortal come from? He just knows a few tricks of magic, pretending to be gods and ghosts, and fooling stupid people."

    Zhou Cang was stunned when he heard the word "magic", but he didn't know what this magic was.

    Yan Liang believed that Zuo Ci was just a liar who performed tricks. Most of the miraculous tricks he used to tease Cao Cao in history were also well-designed magic tricks.

    You must know that since ancient times, there have been many extremely clever magicians who can always design magic tricks that can be fake and real, so that viewers cannot tell the truth from the fake.

    In fact, to outsiders, it seems that magicians really have magic power, but as soon as the principle is exposed, everyone will suddenly realize it and say to themselves, "That's it."

    People in this era have limited knowledge. Seeing that Zuo Ci can create gold and silver from "void", they are naturally in awe of him, especially the common people.

    As a time traveler, Yan Liang has seen countless magic tricks in later generations, and has seen all kinds of performances that transform people into living beings. However, the simple trick of turning nothing into money is not something he can appreciate.

    "This Zuo Ci, with his so-called immortal magic, must have deceived many people. I haven't paid much attention to the Taoist sect over the years. Could it be that Zuo Ci has taken the opportunity to make the Taoist sect bigger again?" Yan Liang began to be suspicious.  .

    Zhou Cang hurriedly smiled and said: "Today is different from the past. Since the fall of the Yellow Turban, the Taoist sect is no longer as strong as it used to be. Zuo Ci has accepted many followers in these years, but compared with the Taiping Tao in those days, it is simply  You can¡¯t say the same thing.¡±

    "Well, that's good." Yan Liang nodded slightly, "However, there must be some people among the officials who don't believe it. That stupid donkey Quan Zong is one of them."

    "As far as I know, officials from all over the country do not like Taoism, so few believe in it, and even if they do, it is just a few. It is precisely because of this that the development of Taoism has been slow in recent years, and it is difficult to achieve success." Zhou Cang replied.

    After listening to Zhou Cang¡¯s words, Yan Liangcai had a little understanding of Taoism.

    At this time, Yan Liang suddenly realized that as an emperor, although he could cover the sky with one hand, he still didn't understand many things in the world.

    Just like this matter about the Taoist sect, he had never heard of Zuo Ci, the Danding sect, or even Chongxin Taoist sect, an official with the rank of prefect under his command, who actually believed in the elixir of immortality.

    "Well, officials are naturally capable of deceiving superiors and concealing subordinates. It seems that I need to expand my eyes and ears and personally monitor the world. I can't just sit in the court and listen to the words of the ministers"

    Yan Liangliang pondered secretly, and a new idea gradually took shape in his mind.

    After pondering for a moment, Yan Liang shouted: "Here comes someone, please send Ma Su over quickly."

     ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: Although there are many generals, young elites like Ma Su also go with the army. This is why Yan Liang intends to train them.

    Not long after, the armored Ma Su hurried over and entered the hall to pay homage to the Lord.

    "Youchang, I'm calling you here this time because I plan to build a new organization. This organization will be directly responsible for my orders. This organization will not only be responsible for detecting the enemy's situation and acting as a detailed operation, but also monitor the movements of the officials and people in the world, which will be detrimental to the interests of the people.  All signs of the imperial court are reported to me, and I intend to make you the leader of this organization."

    Yan Liang told Ma Su his intention.

    Nowadays, although Da Chu has an intelligence organization called Si Wen Cao, the information obtained needs to be passed up through the layers and passed through the hands of important ministers before it can be delivered to Yan Liang.

    At present, Yan Liang naturally has great trust in the ministers under his command. He believes that they are loyal to their duties and dare not deceive him.

    However, as a king, in addition to majesty, you must also have power. You need to know that people's hearts are the most unpredictable. The current group of ministers were personally selected by him and are worthy of trust. However, in the future, new and old ministers will be replaced.  There is no way to guarantee the loyalty and integrity of these veterans.

    Therefore, if he wants to ensure the loyalty of his ministers, the emperor must have ears and eyes that are better than his ministers, and he can make a correct judgment by comparing the information obtained.

    In history, there are countless emperors who were deceived by their ministers, causing harm to the country and the people.

    "I understand what your Majesty means. Your Majesty is in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and everything needs to be reported by your subordinates. It is inevitable that you will encounter people who deceive your superiors and deceive your subordinates. This institution is indeed necessary, and I am willing to take on this important responsibility."

    Ma Di was very smart and immediately understood Yan Liang¡¯s spirit.

    Yan Liang nodded slightly to show his approval, and then said: "I have decided to name this organization Jinyi Guards. Like the Dragon Cavalry Guards, Tiger Bear Guards and other imperial guards, they all take orders directly from me. You can choose loyal ministers and elite men.  To enrich the Jinyi Guards, as for the number of people, I will first give you a staff of one thousand people, and then expand it later."

    The Jinyiwei thing was invented by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It was similar to the National Security Bureau of later generations. It played a great contribution to the Ming Dynasty emperor's surveillance of the world and the collection of intelligence on foreign wars.

    It¡¯s just that later generations deliberately discredited the Ming Dynasty because the Manchus were revising the history of the Ming Dynasty, so they discredited agencies such as Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Xichang into white terror spy agencies.

    Yan Liang is familiar with history, but he knows that the Jin Yiwei's merits outweigh his faults. Most of the people he monitors are officials at all levels, and the common people are basically not affected by them.

    And those Ming Dynasty veterans and children who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty were all treasonous ministers of the Ming Dynasty, who were not corrupt and corrupt. The Jinyiwei were their nemesis. When they helped the Manchu Qing Dynasty revise their history, they would naturally try their best to discredit them.

    Yan Liang trusted Ma Su. He not only made him command the imperial guards, but also asked him to directly obey his orders. With such high regard, how could Ma Su not be flattered.

    Ma Su kowtowed repeatedly to show his loyalty and his attitude of doing his best.

    Yan Liang praised it and ordered: "Recently, a Taoist priest appeared in Yanmen, and Quanzong offered elixir to me. I think there is something fishy in this. It is probably Zuo Ci who is planning something. I  I want you to closely monitor the movements of Lianghe Daomen and report to me at any time if you find anything suspicious. If necessary, you can also use force to suppress the chaos first. "

    In extraordinary times, extraordinary things must be done. Now that the army is about to destroy Jin, how can we allow chaos in the rear?

    "I obey your order." Ma Su got the order and retreated.

    Ma Di was smart and capable. With Yan Liang's will, he quickly made it easy to select elite soldiers in the army, and within a few days he built a team of three to four hundred Jin Yiwei.

    Since Yan Liang had an urgent task, Ma Su sent the 400 Jinyi guards to the places where Taoism spread most widely across the two rivers for surveillance and reconnaissance without waiting for a thousand men and horses.

    When Yan Liang took the time to form the Jinyi Guards and investigate the Taoist Gate, to the north, Wen Chou and Zhang Liao's armies had launched a fierce attack on Pingcheng.

    Since ancient times, the Yanmen area has been the first line of defense against the invasion of the barbarians. Its mountains and cities are dangerous and dangerous, far more dangerous than those in southern Shanxi.

    Although Sima Yi only had 10,000 soldiers left, with the strength of Pingcheng, he was able to block the attack of the 100,000-strong Chu army.

    Since Pingcheng was built on a mountain, the Chu army could not siege the city on all sides and could only attack from the southeast. The more than 100,000 troops and horses could not be fully deployed, and the advantage in military strength could not be realized for a while. Therefore, they attacked the city for seven days in a row, but still failed to break the city.  .

    Seven days later, more than 100,000 Chinese troops commanded by Yan Liang also reached the front line of Pingcheng and attacked.?'s army reached an unprecedented number of 250,000.

    However, after Yan Liang observed the terrain of Pingcheng, he ordered the troops to stop attacking.

    It¡¯s not that Yan Liang is worried about the strength of Pingcheng, but news comes from the rear that the newly prepared gunpowder will be delivered to the front line of Pingcheng in less than half a month. With gunpowder to bombard the city, why should Yan Liang lose his soldiers in vain.

    Sima Yi stood at the top of Pingcheng City, looking at the waning Chu camp in the distance, a sneer gradually rising from the corner of his mouth.

    "The 250,000-strong army of Thief Yan arrived in front of the city, but suddenly stopped attacking. Could it be that Taoist Master Zuo had incited the Taoist sect to revolt and disturbed his rear? If so, then God help me, Thief Yan.  Yan thief, let's see how long you can last, hehe" (To be continued.
