"In the early Han Dynasty, the master of Sima Ji was a doctor of Chu. He traveled to Chang'an to study, Tongyi, Huang Lao, and his magic power was boundless."
"It is said that Master Sima Ji entered the stone chamber of Weiyu Mountain and received the stone essence, golden light, hidden scenery, and the form-transformation method in the Western Lingzi Capital."
"Xi Lingzi is a Taixuan fairy. I heard that she once taught Sima Ji how to master the sword."
It was a bit outrageous to say that during a good banquet, the conversation was actually about these ethereal topics. Even though he had been mentally prepared, Yang Kai was still shocked.
There are also some people from the Taiyang clan who believe in the Tao of Heavenly Masters, but very few of them, such as Yang Jiezhi and Yang Xuanzhi.
Those with "zhi" in their names may not necessarily be Taoist believers, and even if they are Taoist believers, they may not necessarily believe in the Taoism of the Heavenly Master.
Of course, the two brothers Yang Xuanzhi and Yang Jiuzhi were indeed believers in the Tao of Heavenly Masters, so Cao Yi's lion opened his mouth and demanded too much. When Liang Gong was furious and decided to attack with force, Yang Jiuzhi had to defend himself urgently.
Yang Kai didn't believe this, and the reason was simple: he had never seen even one immortal person.
Some people mentioned that I lived for more than 200 years or even hundreds of years, but he was still doubtful and mostly disbelieved.
Are there any reliable people teaching this or that? He was deeply doubtful.
Among the Qingzhou scholars here, some believe it and some don’t believe it, even though Qingzhou is already the area with the best development of Tianshi Tao in the Jin Dynasty - in fact, in the entire coastal area, more or less Tianshi Tao activities are relatively internal.
Lu is more active.
Most of the Qingzhou scholars who believed in Tianshi Dao were appointed by Cao Yi.
The Qingzhou scholars who did not believe in the Tao of the Heavenly Master were not so loyal even if they served Cao Yi.
Relying on pretense to rule a place, you will eventually fall into the inferior position.
"Master Gao Tian, ​​an elder in my family has passed away. Please give me a tomb certificate." Cao Yi did not come, so everyone continued to talk.
"Easy to say." "Master Gao Tian" chuckled, and after asking how the deceased died, he took out a hard yellow paper coupon from his sleeve and handed it over.
The person who asked for the coupon took it solemnly and thanked him again and again.
Yang Kai glanced at it, but couldn't make out much clearly. He could only vaguely make out a few words: "Notes on the Ghost Corpse", "Ghost Resurrected", "Yan Zhen", "Ru Ling" and the like - he roughly understood it.
, the deceased died violently, violently.
"Master Gao Tian, ​​I have the nerve to ask for one." Someone else begged on the side.
"It's easy, take it." Gao Tianshi seemed to be wholesale. After asking a few questions, he handed out another one.
Perhaps this person had a higher status. Master Gao Tianshi thought about it and gave him a bunch of things like official seals and certificates.
Yang Kai looked at it carefully.
Good guy!
There are two thousand stone tombs underground, and the tomb chief is the most exquisitely made. Below there are the tomb gate and pavilion chiefs, the tomb left, the tomb right, the tomb chief, the tomb commander, the main tomb commander, the soul gate pavilion chief, and the guerrillas in the tomb...
It is the "Emperor of Heaven" who bestows these underground official positions.
Officials headed by the tomb uncle of "Two Thousand Stones Underground" can borrow the power of the "Emperor of Heaven" to cast spells to attack evil ghosts, gods, and spirits.
That's amazing! Qingzhou, you are different from others.
Yang Kai withdrew his gaze, secretly laughing at everyone's ignorance.
However, the world is inherently ignorant, and relying on this method to maintain governance is still a way.
Moreover, scholars who like to talk about metaphysics and Taoism are more likely to accept these things, except for a few Confucian scholars.
Even Confucian scholars were affected to some extent.
Yang Kai knows that the Yu family in Yingchuan passed down Confucianism to his family, and Yu Liang, who was familiar with Confucian classics, liked to talk about mystical doctrines to adapt to the atmosphere of the scholar circle.
Ridiculous! Yang Kai sneered secretly and stopped paying attention to them.
"General Zhendong has arrived." Someone announced loudly outside the door.
Everyone present looked solemn, immediately adjusted their robe sleeves, and sat upright.
Yang Kai was a little surprised. Cao Yi's prestige in Qingzhou was not low.
Not long after, a handsome scholar wearing a scarlet robe came in from the door. After glancing around, his eyes paused on Yang Kai, then looked away again.
"See General Zhendong." Everyone kneeling behind the table bowed to the ground.
Cao Yi had no expression on his face, sat on the main seat, glanced around again, and said: "No courtesy."
Everyone sat up straight.
Cao Yi looked at Yang Kai and asked, "Why don't you worship the envoy?"
"The imperial court only allowed Cao Gong to be the governor of Qingzhou, and there was no general Zhendong." Yang Kai replied.
"The envoy is not afraid of death?" Cao Yi asked in surprise.
"The Xianbei cavalry has gone south from Youzhou, carrying more than ten thousand armored horses." Yang Kai looked at Cao Yi and said loudly: "If someone avenges me, what should I fear?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people immediately shouted angrily, and there was a sudden noise.
Cao Yi stretched out his right hand, and the noise gradually disappeared.
"General Zhendong is not appropriate, General Anton?" Cao Yi asked with a smile but not a smile: "King Langya has accepted me as the shepherd of Qingzhou, General Anton."
"King Langya is just correcting the edict, how can he count?" Yang Kai asked.
Cao Yi smiled and said: "The envoy is so aggressive, which is not the way to talk about things. Didn't Shao Xun teach you how to speak?"
After speaking, he clapped his hands, and soon a soldier brought a copper seal.
Cao Yi was playing with it casually and said: "Our ancestor Zhi went north from Xuzhou, and I went south from Qingzhou. We attacked together with all our strength. Pengcheng is within easy reach. It doesn't matter whether it is done or not. The competition is about swords and guns, not words."
Yang Kai sneered and said: "When Zu Ti was surrounded in Xiapi and retreated hastily, Duke Cao didn't see it, right? How could this man dare to go north? It's not like Duke Cao had never attacked Langya, Dongguan and other counties. What was the result?"
Shouldn’t we retreat to Qingzhou in the end?”
Cao Yi frowned and said displeasedly: "Should Shao Xun decide to take advantage of me? The Qingzhou Shepherd refused to give it to me. How stingy is it?"
Yang Kai sneered in his heart, it turns out that you only have so many palaces. I thought you were a person who would not change his face even if Mount Tai collapsed. Unexpectedly, after a few words, he became a little unbearable, which was a huge disappointment.
"How important is the position of State Shepherd! In the past, Duke Liang went to Yecheng in the north and invited Duke Cao to send troops. Not only did Duke Cao refuse to agree, he also sent troops to plunder the three states of Xu, Yan, and Hebei. By doing this, can he win the title of State Shepherd?" Yang Yang
Kai asked rhetorically.
Cao Yi's face became increasingly unhappy and he said, "The envoy is drunk."
"Mr. Cao." Yang Kai sighed and said, "The governor of Qingzhou is the greatest sincerity of the imperial court. If you miss it, you will regret it."
"Send the envoy back to the post to rest." Cao Yi patted the table, his anger evident in his words.
Some soldiers came from outside and stretched out their hands to ask Yang Kai to come out.
Yang Kai snorted coldly, shook up his clothes and came out.
Before he went out, Cao Ni said again: "Let Shao Xun come over and talk with someone else."
Yang Kai paused, too lazy to say anything else, and walked out quickly.
After Yang Kai left, Cao Yi's expression immediately returned to calm.
The guests remained silent, waiting for Cao Yi to speak.
Cao Yi stood up, walked around the hall, and finally stopped in front of General Gao Liang and asked: "Gao Shiyi, do you think Shao Xun will give in? Is it necessary to hold on?"
Gao Liang hesitated for a while and said: "Ming Gong, didn't you have a divination? Shao Xun will give in sooner or later. If you wait a little longer, Qingzhou Mu will not be hard to come by."
Cao Yi felt a little relieved, but still a little anxious.
They have been arguing with the Jin Dynasty for a long time. The Langya Wang family sent envoys, and the Taiyang family also sent envoys. After many talks, Shao Xun never let go - he knew that the actual master behind this matter was Shao Xun, and the Jin court
It's just a tool on his face.
Cao Yi turned around and looked at Xu Miao again.
Xu Miao cupped his hands and said: "Ming Gong, didn't there be iron coupons in the deep stream outside the city? And a messenger from the Emperor of Heaven sent down an elixir book, saying that Ming Gong will be the lord of Qingzhou. With this elixir book and iron coupons, what can I do to Ming Gong?
Are you afraid?"
Cao Yi choked.
The alchemy book and the iron certificate were things he created in order to stabilize his rule. He sent his close men to do it. Even the generals like Xu Miao and Gao Liang kept it secret. How could he take it seriously?
Seeing Cao Yi stunned, Xu Miao changed his tone and said: "Ming Gong, Guanggu City is high and deep, with sufficient food and weapons, so we will definitely be able to hold on. As long as we can hold on for a long time, Zu Ti will definitely go north.
, Pingyang will also take action, which may turn the crisis into safety."
After hearing this, Cao Yi slightly raised his eyebrows.
Guanggu City was built by him at a great cost.
When I arrived in Linzi at the beginning of the year, I saw that the city was too big and the fields were flat, with no danger to defend, so I gave up the idea of ​​using it as a place of governance. Military leaders like to live in fortified cities that are conducive to defense. That would be more convenient.
Feel safe.
Later, I went to Guang County for an inspection and found that the city was too small to store much supplies, equipment, and soldiers, and it was not suitable for use as a governance center.
After much thought, we simply decided to build a new city, Guanggu City.
This city is located next to Guang County, so it is named "Guang".
This city is also surrounded by mountains and rivers. "There is a large and very wide stream, so it is thought to be solid", so the word "solid" is also used.
Taken together, it is called "Guanggu City".
Guang County and Guanggu City itself were merged into Qi State Linzi - no, it should be called Qi County, but if you accept Sima Rui's appointment, it should be called back to Qi State - today's Guanggu is Qingzhou, Qi County
, the common administrative seat of the three levels of government in Linzi, is also the seat of the shogunate of General Cao Yi Zhendong, and is the foundation for his dominance of Qingzhou.
With this city around, Cao Yi seemed to have a little more confidence.
But just asking for help from a Qingzhou shepherd, stalling, pushing and pushing, and just not giving it, what's the point? After thinking of the vast and solid city, Cao Ni felt as if his chest could stand upright, and a feeling of pity for Shao surged in his heart.
Xun's resentment.
Of course, he also clearly knows the strength gap between the two sides.
He is not arrogant and does not try to fight to the end. The pull he is doing now is just to obtain greater benefits. Otherwise, he will kill the envoy, cut off the escape route, and fight to the end with Shao Xun.
"We will hold another banquet tomorrow and invite the envoy from Jianye to come." Cao Yi made up his mind and ordered.
Chapter completed!
