The World of Yellow Sky

"If the country is afraid, why not..."

Jian Shuo made a knife with his hand, pressed it on the floor, and made a killing gesture.

Liu Hong said nothing, closed his eyes, and was thinking.

Jian Shuo knelt quietly on the ground without continuing to speak, waiting for Liu Hong's decision.

long silence.

When Jian Shuo almost thought that Liu Hong had fallen asleep, Liu Hong finally spoke.

"No need, just let them go, if they dare to make trouble, then arrest them."

Liu Hong sighed.

He sighed more times today than in previous years.

For Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others, he really couldn't bear it.

Since he ascended the throne, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others have been by his side all the time.

Liu Hong is the Son of Heaven. Although it is said that he is the most ruthless emperor's family, Liu Hong is a somewhat nostalgic person. He still has feelings for Zhang Rang and others.

Although Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong began to be more and more greedy for money, even when he was seriously ill before, they even started to curry favor with General He Jin.

But Liu Hong still couldn't make up his mind to kill Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others.

"The Embroidered Clothes Emissary and the Forbidden Army of the West Garden still have a lot of business to do, so go down too."

Liu Hong closed his eyes and lay down on the bed.

"I'm really tired."

……

The sky and the earth are repeated, and the fire desires to go;

The building will fall, and it will be difficult to support a tree.

Time doesn't stop passing because of the change of anything.

The four years of Zhongping, full of disasters and disasters, have finally passed.

The huge Han Empire was struggling internally and externally, and entered the fifth year of Zhongping with difficulty.

In the palace of Luoyang, the news of the rebellion in various places seems to be a little silent now.

But this silence is just an appearance, and it's just brewing a bigger storm.

The tyrannical family has evil plans in their hearts, and the struggle for power and profit has reached a fever pitch above the temple.

Embroidered clothes envoys come out everywhere, the government and the public are terrified, powerful officials seize profits, and buying officials and nobles is even more serious than before.

By Liu Yan's letter.

The tyrants and state shepherds from all over the place have also begun to accumulate their own strength.

The terrifying war potential of the Han Empire is being activated.

The once weak and bloated Han Empire is gradually becoming stronger.

It's just that the head of the Han Empire, the backbone of the Han Empire, is getting weaker and weaker.

The luxuriant branches and leaves are suspected of overwhelming the host.

The Dang Gu made Liu Hong think that a powerful family was nothing more than that, even though the Yellow Turban Rebellion forced Liu Hong to lift the Dang Gu in desperation.

However, Liu Hong still believes that the destiny is still in the great man, and the powerful families still dare not resist the destiny, and their hearts belong to the Han family after all.

Under the Embroidered Clothes Emissary, Liu Hong also underestimated the aristocratic family.

However, he forgot the old affairs of King Zhou Li.

The mouth of the people is better than the mouth of the river. If the river is blocked and collapsed, many people will be injured, and so will the people.That's why those who are for Sichuan should make decisions and guide them; those who are for the people should make words for them.

For a huge empire like the Han Empire, it is not those external factors that can cause its demise.

The real danger lurks within.

The sky and the earth are turning upside down, and the fire is burning; the building is about to fall, and it is difficult to support a tree.

Chapter 3 Change

Compared with the internal turmoil of the Han Empire, there is also the chaos in Liang and Youzhou.

Today's Bingzhou can really be called a peaceful paradise.

Successive victories of the Yellow Turban Army have also brought great encouragement to those who are willing to follow the Yellow Turban Army.

The powerful families under the rule of the Yellow Turban Army were already cleaned up, but the inaction of the Han army made the remaining powerful families feel hopeless and chose to make further compromises.

As the rule of the Yellow Turban Army gradually extended, the peripheral environment gradually stabilized.

The people under the rule also believed in the Yellow Turban Army more and more.

Both the money and food collected by the Yellow Turban Army and the protection they provided were several times better than when the Han Army was there.

In the past, those vicious officials, those high-spirited tyrants, and those bullies who committed crimes were even rarer under the rule of the Yellow Turban Army.

Every half a month, there will always be people with Yinglang Weiti cavalry, or military talismans passing by the village, looking for the people to see if any evil has happened, and handling disputes for them.

Under the current rule of the Yellow Turban Army, it is still in a state of military control, with the strictest in the cities, followed by the villages.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the system implemented in the village has always been the "three elders system", which is now considered to be in name only.

The "Three Elders" system originated in the pre-Qin period. They initially referred to the township officials appointed by the imperial court to be responsible for educating the villagers in the countryside.

"Book of Rites and Li Yun" records: "Zongzhu is in the temple, the three princes are in the court, and the three elders are in school."

Tracing back to the source, the emergence of the Three Elders system originated from the development of the patriarchal system and the concept of respecting and respecting the elderly.

"Han Shu Gaodi Ji [-]" says: "If you are over [-] years old, have practice, and can command others to do good, you will be regarded as three elders, one from the township; the three elders from the township will be the three elders from the county."

Influenced by the concept of clan in ancient times, villagers with the same surname often gathered together to form a village. Therefore, the respected elders in the clan generally had great influence and binding force on the clan.

The rural governance model that relies on the "three elders" to complete grassroots self-government is a rural social state idealized by Confucianism. In this environment, villagers

"Han Shu Shi Huo Zhi" has a saying: "Going in and out to make friends, watch and help each other, and save each other from illness, the people are in harmony, and the education and education are the same, and labor labor can be obtained and peaceful."

In the middle and early Western Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty implemented the national policy of Huang Lao Wuwei. At this stage, the three elders were equivalent to the official spokespersons in the local area.

The Han Dynasty used the prestige and ability of the three elders to coordinate the relationship between people in different regions. This soft policy is far more gentle than the Qin Dynasty’s migration of people from the six countries to other regions. It reflects the official respect for regional folk customs, and it is easy to win the favor of the people.

In the middle and late Han Dynasty, the functions of the three elders tended to be official. That is to say, the autonomy of the three elders declined, but their official authority was further deepened.

At that time, the three-elder system seemed to be helpful to the management of the village.

But over time, the positions of the "three elders" were also taken by those powerful families.

After hundreds of years of changes, the original good governance has gradually turned into bad governance.

However, under the rule of the Yellow Turban Army, it is natural that those powerful families cannot be appointed.

So Xu An also thought of a way, and this way can not only solve the problem of the Yellow Turban Army's governance of the village at this stage, but also a way to properly resettle the wounded soldiers.

Even though most of the Yellow Turban Army won the successive battles, they also left a large number of wounded soldiers for the Yellow Turban Army.

Xu An couldn't ignore these wounded soldiers, whether it was out of emotion or reason.

They were wounded on the battlefield, and they fought against Huang Tian, ​​if Xu An abandoned them, how could the other soldiers not be disappointed.

If Xu An abandoned it and ignored it, how could he talk about establishing the world of Huang Tian.

Moreover, since Xu An ordered Fu Zhu of the Yellow Turban Army to preach, Xu An also found himself in a misunderstanding.

The Preacher Fu Zhu of the Yellow Turban Army recruited congregants, and they still wandered among villages and preached in cities just like preaching in the past.

For ordinary people, it is more cumbersome to enter the Tao, and Fu Zhu has to come to register in person.

This way of attracting Taoists should indeed be changed.

The current Yellow Turban Army has controlled Bingzhou, Hedong and other places, and has a stable base area, instead of needing to cover up and hide in Tibet as before.

The Yellow Turban Army can also build Taoist temples.

The so-called darkness under the lamp was nothing more than that, and this was something Xu An didn't realize until he rode past a Taoist temple outside Jinyang City.

If Taoist temples can be set up in every village gathering, the thoughts of Taiping Tao can be spread more quickly.

It is also possible to develop Taoists faster, and it has become much easier to develop Taoists.

And those soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who were injured and unable to go to the battlefield can be sent to various places after a certain amount of training to do their best for Huang Tian in the Taoist temple.

However, Taoist temples alone cannot manage the village.

There are still certain superstitious thoughts in the Taiping Dao now, and in a sense, the amulets of the Taiping Dao represent theocracy.

The combination of theocracy and secular power may breed even more terrifying monsters among the villages.

The three elders still have checks and balances, but once Guanzhu has the interpretation of theocracy and the blessing of secular power, his power will expand to a terrible level.

Xu An's current power is like this.

In the eyes of the Taoists of Taiping Dao, he was Huang Tian's incarnation and the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, which also made his prestige reach a terrifying level.

The theocracy of the Taiping Dao is many times greater than what the emperor of the Han Dynasty preached that he was ordered by heaven.

And this is the characteristic of Taipingdao.

The Eastern Han Dynasty was far inferior to modern times in terms of transportation and other aspects.

Xu An walked back and forth in the courtyard, thinking about the details.

From the point of view of building the Taoist temple, he thought a lot.

Even though the teachings of Taiping Dao have been changed and revised a lot by him, he is still a religion in the final analysis.

What kind of monsters will be produced by the combination of religious theocracy and secular power.

Xu An broke out in a cold sweat, that was not the result he wanted, and it was definitely not what the world of Huang Tian should be like.

But if the current development of Taipingdao is not re-directed, then the situation may develop to a terrifying level.

Even if he was Huang Tian's incarnation in name, it would not be so easy to reverse the situation.

fortunately.

Fortunately, I found out what was wrong in advance.

Xu An glanced at the straight yellow angel standing in the courtyard, his heart sank.

Taipingdao needs to change, and Taipingdao must also change.

If there is no change, then even if it finally conquers the world, it will only raise a monster more terrifying than the feudal empire.

Perhaps his oppression of the people is even worse than that of ordinary feudal empires.

There is no doubt about this, and in some places in history these things have been confirmed.

Chapter 3 and Six Changes

The foundation of the Yellow Turban Army's life is the way of peace.

From the beginning of Xu An's fortune to the current dominance in Bingzhou, the whole journey is inseparable from the support of the Yellow Turban Army and Taipingdao.

Gong Du, Liu Pi, and many generals and schools, as well as a large number of soldiers from the Yellow Angels, the Yellow Turban Army, and the sharp soldiers, all believed in the way of peace under the propaganda.

Xu An also needs Taipingdao.

The teachings of Taiping Dao have been modified and have become more and more perfect, and those dross have basically been removed.

Even Xu An added many teachings.

But Xu An knew that all of this was not enough.

All this, Xu An can't discuss with others, even Yan Zhong and Liu Pi can't tell.

Although Liu Pi was loyal, he was not loyal to Xu An.

It was Huang Tian, ​​but Xu An who was Huang Tian's incarnation.

Xu An has always known that Liu Pi is an extremely fanatical Yellow Angel.

Yan Zhong is ambitious, and although he is resourceful, he is not a suitable candidate for negotiation.
