When Luoyang was in chaos, Liu Xiu led his personal guard camp to Arc deputies. At Arc deputies, he saw Liu Yu and Zhang Jiao.

Liu Yu was very depressed. He had taken off his official uniform and put on the prisoner's ochre suit to show his guilt. He did not say much to Liu Xiu. After learning about the situation in the capital, he immediately rushed to Luoyang to apologize to the emperor.

Zhang Jiao was very calm. He looked at Liu Xiu quietly. After a while, he asked, "The Holy Aunt is not missing at all?"

Liu Xiu was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"The Holy Aunt has never disappeared. It is your trap from beginning to end. With this reason, you ruined my Luoyang Jinglu." Zhang Jiao said slowly, as if he was talking about other people's affairs. He could not see any anger or annoyance. "I really can't understand that you are from poor families, like me, are both dissatisfied with the clever acquisitions of these powerful families and want to benefit the people of the world, but why do you do this now?"

Liu Xiu was not in the mood to tell him these things, so he stood up and shouted sternly: "Don't mess with me, where is Yingzi?"

Zhang Jiao was stunned and looked at Liu Xiu in surprise. Liu Xiu's face was anxious, with only anger in his eyes, but no guilt. It didn't look like he guessed. "Is the Saint Aunt really missing?"

"Bad!" Liu Xiu was furious and took the ring from his hand and slapped it in front of Zhang Jiao: "I know you want this ring, and I can give you this ring, but you should keep your promise and return Yingzi to me. What nonsense do you say? Do you think I am writing and acting on my own, and making trouble on purpose?"

Zhang Jiao's eyes stopped on the ring for a moment, and his brows gradually rose. He pondered for a moment and shook his head: "So, we are all fooled."

"What's the trick?" Liu Xiu also felt something was wrong. Zhang Jiao's expression didn't seem to be bargaining. If Yingzi was really in his hands, he would only negotiate with him now and ask him to hand over the method of using the ring, rather than talking about these.

"I swear as a great wise and virtuous teacher of Taiping Dao. I really don't know what the Holy Aunt is doing, and I can assure you that this is not done by my Taiping Dao." Zhang Jiao raised his hand and said solemnly: "I admit that I have deceived you. I want to find the Holy Aunt within ten days and use her to exchange this divine object with you, but God is so willing. I mobilized all the Taoists nearby, and did not find out the whereabouts of the Holy Aunt."

Liu Xiu was surprised. Yingzi was not kidnapped by Taipingdao people? Then where did she go?

"I think we may have been exploited." Seeing Liu Xiu like this, Zhang Jiao confirmed his guess even more. "Someone must have kidnapped the Holy Aunt and blamed me for Taiping Dao, seduced you and me to join us, so that they could benefit from it."

The shadow of the Yuan family suddenly appeared in Liu Xiu's mind: "Yuan family?"

"As far as the current situation is concerned, they are the most suspicious." Zhang Jiao stood up, walked to the corridor, held his hands behind his back, and looked at the blue sky in the distance. "You calmed my Jinglu, and made the emperor doubt my loyalty. It forced me to attack the Yuan family in advance to calm the emperor's suspicion. Unfortunately, things were in a hurry. I was not prepared and failed. The Runan was in chaos, and all the efforts in the front were wasted, and the Yuan family made a comeback. The emperor wanted to explain to the people of Ruying, who would bear the consequences? Of course, it was me Zhang Jiao."

Zhang Jiao sighed, "It's a pity that three years of planning have been ruined."

Liu Xiu was considering Yingzi's whereabouts. If what Zhang Jiao said was true, then he might have fallen into the Yuan family's plan. The Yuan family robbed Yingzi and framed Taipingdao, forcing him and Zhang Jiao to join forces. They benefited from it. The Yuan family has a wide connection and there are many strange people among the disciples. It is not difficult to do this. If it was really what they did, it would be expected that it would not be possible to find Yingzi with Taipingdao's strength.

This is too bad, it's being used as a gun? Liu Xiu didn't get angry, and he wanted to go back to Yuan Wei to ask for someone now, but then he thought about it. There was no evidence in his hand. Can the Yuan family recognize it?

Impulse is a devil. I have misjudged once and can't repeat the old mistakes. Liu Xiu took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. He was not interested in Zhang Jiao's self-proclaimer. Even without Yingzi, he would not support Zhang Jiao. He said in front of the emperor that Zhang Jiao was suspected of raising the bandits and respecting himself. Although he meant to give Zhang Jiao eye drops, it was not entirely slander.

"Where are you going now?"

"I'm going to Luoyang." Zhang Jiao turned around and looked at Liu Xiu calmly: "I will meet the emperor and apologize to him. I did what Runan is, so I will naturally bear the consequences."

Liu Xiu's eyebrows were slightly locked.

"Deran, I want to say a few words to you." Zhang Jiao suddenly relaxed and glanced at the person next to him. Liu Xiu thought for a moment and signaled Wang Zhi and Xu Qian to retreat. Although Zhang Jiao's martial arts are superb and Taoist techniques are said to have reached the level of lion roar, it is not so easy to hurt him when he is on guard.

Liu Xiu reached out and signaled: "Great Master, please tell me."

Zhang Jiao returned to the case and sat down face to face with Liu Xiu, reached out to pour himself a glass of water, picked it up and took it slowly. "I was the one you introduced to the court to be an official. According to the rules, although I am not your disciple, I have the kindness of knowing it."

"I regret it now." Liu Xiu curled his lips and looked at him disdainful. He didn't dare to expect Zhang Jiao to treat him as an old man.

"I know why you regret it, because you think I'm too impulsive." Zhang Jiao smiled calmly and looked at Liu Xiu with his eyes fixed on him: "But what I want to say is that your new policy in Bingzhou cannot be implemented. In the end, like me, you will be defeated in a miserable way, and even worse than me."

Liu Xiu remained silent.

"I know what you mean. You want to use the benefits of industry and commerce to exchange for the land in the hands of the powerful families, use the benefits of land to appease the people, and use the benefits of industry and commerce to satisfy the greed of the powerful families." Zhang Jiao said slowly: "But you forgot that human greed is endless. These people will eat the benefits of industry and commerce you give, but they may not be willing to give up the land in their hands. Food is the most fundamental guarantee. Nowadays, natural disasters in the Han Dynasty are frequent, either drought or flooding, and lack of income is common, and the price of grain is the same every day. At this time, who will give up the land?"

Zhang Jiao sneered and looked at Liu Xiu with a sarcastic look: "The most fertile lands in the Han Dynasty are in Shandong, Liangzhou, and Bingzhou, which are not as good as a county in Shandong. You can work in Bingzhou, but when you arrive in Shandong, you will lose completely. Bingzhou is a small fish, and you can still use bait, but when you meet a big fish in Shandong, you will not only not be able to catch fish, but you will also lose even the bait."

Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and kept silent.

"In the end, you will find that you can only take the same method as me, that is, kill. However, you will also find that you have raised the fish too much, and they have become beasts and will swallow them together." Zhang Jiao's lips tilted, and he pointed Liu Xiu with his fingers, saying word by word: "At that time, you will know that all the things you are doing now are raising tigers for trouble."

"There is no second way to deal with these greedy people except to kill them." Zhang Jiao stood up long, bent down slightly, and looked down at Liu Xiu: "Kill all these blood-sucking worms, and the world will be peaceful." After saying that, he laughed and left.

Liu Xiu sat motionlessly and watched Zhang Jiao disappear from his eyes. Did Zhang Jiao fail? He didn't think so. Did Zhang Jiao do something wrong? It seems that he couldn't say that. At least he felt that Zhang Jiao's words were not completely empty words. It would be better to expect prostitutes to be cleansed by the morality of those in power. Vested interests never voluntarily give up their rights. Most reforms in Chinese history ended in failure. Even geniuses like Wang Anshi and Zhang Juzheng were ruined. How could he guarantee that he could succeed?

Yes. He was trusted by the emperor, but Wang Anshi and Zhang Juzheng did not get the trust of the emperor. Didn’t they fail in the end? What’s more, in terms of governing ability and power in the officialdom, he was simply not worth mentioning compared to people like Wang Anshi and Zhang Juzheng.

So what qualifications does he have to say that he can successfully reform and lead the great man to prosperity and strength?

Liu Xiu felt a little confused for the first time. Am I wrong? This world was originally like Zhang Jiao said. Only by killing and killing all the greedy worms can the world be peaceful?

"General?" Xun You walked in and saw Liu Xiu sitting there in a daze. He screamed softly.

"Ah?" Liu Xiu was shocked and asked in a concealed manner: "What's the matter?"

"General, Zhang Jiao has left. Should we set off?"

"We? Where are we going?"

"Of course it's Li Yang." Xun You laughed softly: "The current plan is to control Yuan Shao first. You can't let him act rashly. If any action in Li Yang camp may cause a disaster."

"Oh." Liu Xiu slapped his forehead and nodded repeatedly. He got up and was about to leave. Xun You shook his head: "Why do you have to go in person? The general should be in charge of the arc and just send someone to go."

Liu Xiu smiled with shame. He was a little restless and confused by Zhang Jiao's words. After listening to Xun You's words, he calmed down and pondered for a moment: "Who is better?"

"Let my uncle go." Xun You smiled and said, "He yong and Guo Tu are all close to my uncle. It is the most appropriate to let him go."

Liu Xiu hesitated for a moment, for fear that Yuan Shao would be crazy, so he detained Xun Yu or killed him, and then he would lose a lot. So far, Xun Yu was the first powerful child to actively recognize him. However, Xun You said it makes sense. The Xun family is a powerful man in Yingchuan. Even if the Yuan family wants to rebel, they will not dare to do anything to Xun Yu.

"Then there will be no more than 30."

...

Xun Yu was wearing a plain silk robe, riding a white horse, followed by Li Yifeng and Zhou Ming, and came to Yuan Shao in front of him. Yuan Shao was wearing neat armor, without a crown on his head, only a scarf, with a jade-like face, graceful and generous. Behind him were Yan Liang and Gao Lan, one of them was holding a bronze helmet in his hand, and the other was holding the seal of the former general, standing with a sword, majestic and eyeing. Guo Tu, He yong, Shen Pei, Feng Ji and others sat on both sides, with a serious expression and silent expression.

Xun Yu went to the hall openly, saluted, and then smiled slightly: "Is the general going to train troops or attack the city?"

Yuan Shao was a little speechless and attacked the city. Wouldn't he say he wanted to rebel? But if he wanted to say he was going to train troops, wouldn't he be in vain for such a large formation?

"Wenruo, you really have a keen eye for talent. After a few months, you have become the chief secretary of General Wei?" Guo Tuyu said sarcastically: "No wonder you were invited to come last time. You refused to surrender. It turned out that he had climbed up with General Wei. No wonder, General Wei is of course more noble than the former general."

"My brother, whether it is noble or not, how can we judge the level of official position?" Xun Yu said slowly: "If you say that, where will the fourth chief of Yingchuan be placed?"

"So Wenruo knows it too." Guo Tu curled his lips and laughed secretly, thinking that Xun Yu had stepped into his trap. Since it was noble or not, it could not be judged by his official position, then there was nothing worth boasting about Liu Xiu, the general of the Guard, and Xun Yu, the chief of the guard, was no more majestic than them.

"Since you are a general, of course you must put war first. The former general once fought under the command of General Wei, so I believe that he had a clear ability to use general Wei." Xun Yu smiled gently, "I think the former general probably wouldn't think that General Wei has a false reputation."

Yuan Shao's face turned red, and Guo Tu and others were speechless. In terms of military ability, Yuan Shao was indeed outstanding, but in front of Liu Xiu, he had no capital to be proud of.

He yong coughed, breaking the embarrassment in the hall. "Wenruo, when did you become a warlike warrior? How can you be based on whether you can kill someone?"

"Mr. Boqiu is right." Xun Yu bowed and bowed. He yong was a senior and promoted him. He could not help but show respect. "A true scholar should cultivate both civil and military affairs, just like Li Zhengwei, who can go out to steadily borders and enter the people."

He yong nodded in agreement. Li Ying and Li Yuanli are indeed the pride among scholars, civil and military versatile, and both moral integrity and talent.

Xun Yu turned to look at Yuan Shao with a smile: "Why would you dare to ask the former general? Are you going to Anmin in Runan now? Or are you going to..."

Yuan Shao suddenly froze. When he arrived at Runan Anmin, it means that he admitted that those who drove Zhang Jiao away from Runan were rioters, and they were not allowed to go to Jingbian? This is too far. But he couldn't say that I am now preparing to attack the Arc destiny and clear the king's side? Since Xun Yu has arrived here, Liu Xiu must have arrived at the Arc destiny. When he thought of going to fight against Liu Xiu, Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel a little worried. To be honest, he was a little afraid of Liu Xiu from the bottom of his heart.

Everyone in the hall closed their mouths, and no one dared to speak nonsense. Xun Yu's words blocked them. It was wrong to let them say anything. More importantly, they were the same as Yuan Shao thought. Since Liu Xiu had reached the Arc destiny, just with the Liyang Camp in Yuan Shao's hands, they probably could not beat Liu Xiu. The rise of the army could only give him a real person and had no practical effect.

None of them was willing to follow Yuan Shao to take on the crime of rebellion and set up this situation. They just wanted to give Xun Yu a warning. Unfortunately, Xun Yu did not accept this trick and forced them to the dead end.

Seeing that the fire was almost done, Xun Yu stopped pursuing this topic and bowed to Yuan Shao: "Your Majesty heard that Zhang Jiao had an accident in Runan, and he had issued an edict to Zhang Jiao to Luoyang. If nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Jiao will go to the court lieutenant. The three dukes and nine ministers are all in Luoyang to discuss politics, and the generals will attend. The General of the Guard has ordered the eight gates to strictly guard the gates and ensure the safety of the capital. Huangfu Song is in Yongying, which can ensure stability in Guanzhong. General of the Guard hopes that the Liming Camp can keep the eastern front safe."

Although Yuan Shao was depressed, he had no choice but to nod and agreed. "This is a matter within Shao's post. Please give General Wei Wenruo to the general Wei, Shao can protect Jizhou without worries."

"It's so good. There is Situ inside and a general outside. The Yuan family will share the worries for Your Majesty this time." Xun Yu bowed and bowed to everyone, bowed to everyone, and left. Yuan Shao's heart twitched. Xun Yu's words made him frightened. Yes, in addition to him, there are dozens of Yuan family members in Luoyang, including his biological father Yuan Feng. If he acted rashly, those people would have no way out. Now the Yuan family has an absolute advantage in the court, and it is inevitable to defeat Zhang Jiao, so there is no need to take risks.

Since that's the case, it's better to stay. Although Yuan Shao was a little depressed, he still ordered Liming Camp to close the camp and not go out at will, and no soldiers or soldiers were allowed to leave the garrison to avoid misunderstandings.

Xun Yu returned to the Arc deputy pass and reported to Liu Xiu about his meeting with Yuan Shao. However, he hid Yuan Shao's demonstration to him, saying that Yuan Shao accepted his order and was at ease to stay at Liming, and would not do anything. Liu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately passed the news back to Luoyang. After the emperor received the news that Yuan Shao was very safe, he breathed a sigh of relief. In the court, because Liu Yu resigned, Zhang Jiao took all the responsibility and went to the Tingwei Mansion to live in the imperial prison. The anger of the aristocratic family was released. They also took a step back and did not pursue it.

The emperor issued an edict to pardon the people who had caused trouble in Runan. Zong Zheng Liu Yan was the governor of Yuzhou, and Xun Shuang was the prefect of Runan. He immediately took the chariot to take office to pacify the incident of Runan. The people of Yingchuan served as the prefect of Runan, indicating that the emperor had bowed his head to the people of Ruying and admitted his mistakes. The people of Ruying were naturally happy and shouted in unison that Your Majesty's wiseness.

Listening to the call of the wise, the emperor had no intention of joy at all. On the contrary, he felt very frustrated. Zhang Jiao's policy was originally the most in line with his ideas, but now he was defeated. The Yuan family was not only not damaged, but was stronger. How can we reverse this situation? The emperor remembered Liu Xiu's new policy in Bingzhou. Since Zhang Jiao's method did not work, can Liu Xiu do it? At least so far, the situation in Bingzhou is still stable and has not caused such a big disturbance in Yuzhou.

The emperor wrote the edict but did not issue it for a long time. He always felt a little unwilling to accept it. Is it really necessary to take twenty or thirty years to turn the situation around as Liu Xiu said?

"Zhang Rang, should Zhang Jiao die?" the emperor asked Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang hesitated for a moment: "Zhang Jiao deserves to die for ten thousand times, but Zhang Jiao... cannot die." (To be continued)!!!
