Chapter 574 Luo Xiao
Zhang Jue sat down, and the carriage began to sway forward again.
Ahead are verdant mountains, clear waters, sufferings that are invisible to the bigwigs of Luoyang, and the fundamental reasons for the prosperity of Taiping Dao.
There is a good saying in "The Legend of Su Qier": If everyone in the world could live and work in peace and contentment, there would be no beggars, and there would be no need to worry about the Beggars' Gang becoming too powerful.
If everyone in the world can have enough food and warm clothing, there will be no need to worry about the people rising up in rebellion.
The reason why the Taiping Dao was able to grow and develop is because the world is so dark that even the common people don’t know who to look for problems with. Everyone seems to have problems, and everyone seems innocent.
They risked their lives and angrily killed the clerks who exploited them, and then the new clerks would do the same even at the risk of being killed.
Luo Xiao recalled the scene just now and said with a smile: "Julu, your magic water technique is becoming more and more sophisticated.
There aren't many people like you who have truly achieved enlightenment in the world."
Zhang Jue did not show any pride on his face, instead he shook his head and said: "What is the real cultivation? It can't bring longevity, and it can't bring peace to the world. It's just some trivial tricks.
Ziling, your ancestor, King Zhaosheng, was a true Taoist, a god on earth, who could call the wind and rain, and drive thunder. If I had such power, perhaps I could really bring peace to the world."
Luo Xiao said nothing when he heard this. King Zhaosheng was a miracle and it was quite a sensation in the Luo family.
The goal of Taiping Dao is to bring peace.
But Zhang Jue mainly hoped to rely on wise rulers and virtuous ministers to carry out reforms.
The Taiping Dao once organized its followers to gather together without carrying any weapons and walk on the avenue with special rituals.
This is a form of petition.
The saying that "heaven means death" has actually been circulated for a long time and is not a shocking statement from the Taiping Dao.
The Taiping Dao never concealed its goals and made them known early on.
This is why the Taiping Dao is called the Good Dao.
The Taiping Dao is a political group with a political program, political goals and interests, representing the will of the people living at the bottom of society.
Rather than a violent group that simply carries out subversive actions by using superstition to deceive ignorant people.
This is the reason why Luo Xiao would travel around the world's counties and kingdoms with Zhang Jiao in a carriage.
Luo Xiao was a very rebellious person. He admired Zhang Jue and his ideas very much. He even thought that Zhang Jue was far superior to those dukes and princes in terms of ability and moral character.
Of course, he was also very curious about Zhang Jue's Taoism.
After Zhang Jiao got on the car, he did not feel happy about saving a life. Instead, his face looked a little bad and his eyes were full of worry.
Luo Xiao thought for a moment and asked, "Is Julu worried about the failure of Ying Hou's petition and the Party Imprisonment?"
Before, Zhang Jue was full of enthusiasm for rescuing people and preaching, but now he is a little confused.
Zhang Jue sighed slightly, nodded and said: "The world is dark now, it will not do without peace.
The emperor did not listen to the petitions submitted by those upright ministers, even Marquis Ying. Will the emperor listen to the words of a hermit like me?
Maybe they will listen.”
Luo Xiao did not give Zhang Jiao any chance to fantasize and said directly: "Julu, you should know clearly by now that not only will the emperor not listen to you, but all the ministers will not take you seriously either.
In the past, you led the Taiping Dao followers to gather without any weapons, but were attacked by court officials out of fear. You should have thought about this at that time.
The court was afraid of such a large gathering of people, and they were deeply suspicious, because they knew best how deep the hatred between the two sides was. "
Luo Xiao's words were hard to hear, but they were all true. Zhang Jue had no choice but to believe them. He then became resentful and said, "The emperor won't listen, and the ministers won't listen, so what can we do?
Is the only way to follow the example of the rebels of the past and rise up in rebellion?"
Luo Xiao's expression remained unchanged when he heard this. He just opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out the window at the scenery and the rising dust.
Then, without even turning his head, he said, "Julu, your uprising is bound to fail. You must be prepared to sacrifice your life for the people of the world."
Zhang Jue's face slightly changed when he heard this, and he forced a smile and said, "Zi Ling.
The Taiping Dao had hundreds of thousands of followers, and was on good terms with high-ranking officials in the Han court, and even had the support of eunuchs in the palace. Even if they started an uprising, why would they definitely fail?
The emperor imprisoned a large number of scholars, who must have been dissatisfied with the court.
If we could unite with these upright scholars, I believe we could change the world. How can we say that we are doomed to fail?
Three hundred years ago, the world had suffered from the Qin Dynasty for a long time, so they raised their arms and called for rebellion. Even though Emperor Fusu was in power, it was reduced to ashes in just three years.
There are now 50 million people in the world. Isn't it easy to defeat the imperial court?"
Luo Xiao sneered upon hearing this and said, "No matter how upright the scholars are, or how dissatisfied they are with the world, they will never unite with you.
They treat you well now because you cooperate with them in educating the people. Once you rebel against the court, you will be a thief in their eyes.
If those imprisoned scholars are really imprisoned forever, they will indeed unite with you.
But the biggest possibility is that if you start a movement, other scholars will write a petition to lift the ban on party membership.
The greater your influence, the happier those scholars will be.
Because the emperor would be afraid at that time and would definitely agree, because he was worried that those scholars would really unite with you.
Once the emperor lifts the ban, those scholars will abandon you and the Taiping Dao without hesitation.
They may even unite with the powerful to suppress you and the Taiping Dao.
You are very clear about the principles of Taiping Dao, and the powerful will naturally stand on the opposite side of you.
I even suspect that some scholars would throw dirty water on you and the Taiping Dao, falsely accuse you of having rebellious intentions, and force you to rebel.
In the early stages, they will even let you cause chaos, thus achieving the effect of untying the clique."
Luo Xiao's penetrating analysis had a great impact on Zhang Jiao. He was a very capable man, but he came from a humble background and was too idealistic in many things.
Zhang Jue's face changed again and again when he heard this. He felt that the world was full of dangers and dangers, and full of jackals.
In such a vast world, there was no place for him and the Taiping Dao to stay.
Luo Xiao had not stopped attacking Zhang Jiao, and continued, "Besides, I am a special person in the Luo family. I feel that the destiny of the Han Dynasty has not yet ended.
If you raise an uprising now, you will be like an egg hitting a rock. You will defy the will of heaven and will surely die."
Luo Xiao's words were not false, he was the destined son of this generation of the Luo family. He was surrounded by purple light on the day of his birth and the family had high hopes for him.
After saying that, Luo Xiao seemed to close his eyes, but in fact he had been paying attention to Zhang Jiao's changes. Zhang Jiao was a little confused by Luo Xiao's series of rapid bombardment.
To throw an egg against a rock!
Defy God's will!
Death is certain!
Every word and every sentence struck heavily into his heart, making him feel suffocated, as if the sky was pressing down on him.
"Zi Ling, what can we do?"
Luo Xiao narrowed his eyes, but they showed a hint of sharpness, "How can it be so easy to violently break and shake the destiny of a dynasty before it ends?
It will take generations of people to accomplish this, and only when the Han Dynasty has completely lost the support of the people, its weapons, and all its legitimacy, can it be destroyed.
By then, the world will be at peace!"
Zhang Jue was somewhat confused. Luo Xiao's words were too much of a shock to him. He was a Taoist who wanted to improve the country's politics.
As a result, now I actually have to become a rebel, and a rebel who is bound to fail.
Zhang Jiao did not have the slightest doubt about Luo Xiao's words. He knew very well how talented this young master of the Luo family was after spending so much time with him.
Zhang Jiao has some Taoist skills and is sometimes quite proud of himself, but why is he not proud of Luo Xiao at all?
Because Luo Xiao is special, he cannot use his Taoist magic when he is in front of Luo Xiao, which makes him quite surprised and uncertain.
Zhang Jue raised his head and saw the sharpness in Luo Xiao's eyes. He seemed to be blessed.
"Zi Ling, I am willing to be the one who shakes the rule of the Han court."
"Luo's family will not help you. You have already gone too far against the will of heaven. Now you can only obey the will of heaven."
"No, I'll do it myself."
————
Zhang Jue is one of the most crucial figures in the late Eastern Han Dynasty who cannot be ignored. He is even one of the ancient uprising leaders who surpassed Chen She.
The author does not understand what kind of ideological transformation Zhang Jue went through, but he was determined and tried his best to destroy the corrupt dynasty, and neither failure nor pain could affect him.
He executed his plans brilliantly and was one of the most capable people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Countless people in later generations sighed, "If you force the horns to wander the streets and force them to become thieves, how can the Han Dynasty survive?"
In the ancient dynasties that advocated loyalty, filial piety, chastity and righteousness, this was the highest evaluation of Zhang Jue. ——"Biography of Zhang Jue"
There is a big foreshadowing!
