Chapter 114 Zhang Jiao's idea continues to go south
Zhang Jiao said from the bottom of his heart with compassion on his face: "The old Taoist and his disciples walked all the way, passing through Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Sili, and then to Bingzhou. Everywhere you can see people who have no way to survive, and there are bandits who are robbing their homes and houses everywhere. Those
Rich families have plenty of fish and meat, and they feed endless amounts of food to the dogs, while the poor people starve to death on the streets! Do you think this world is fair?"
Seeing that he was sincere, Chen Yaotian could only sigh and said: "The wine and meat of Zhumen are stinky, and there are people freezing to death on the road. Taoist priest has a big heart, and Chen Tian admires it. But Taoist priest, there is simply no way to do this."
"Why is there no way?!" Zhang Jiao said excitedly: "As long as the emperor gives the order to investigate corrupt officials and punish the bully squires, we can return the people to a peaceful and prosperous age!"
"But..."
Chen Yaotian frowned and was speechless.
"However, the emperor favored the eunuchs and allowed local tyrants to run rampant and corrupt officials to exploit them. The people of the Han Dynasty had no way to survive!"
Zhang Jiao's face turned red and he said: "The common people are the foundation of the Han Dynasty. If the emperor acts like this, sooner or later something strange will happen!"
Chen Yaotian thought to himself, isn't this strange disaster caused by Zhang Jiao?!
After talking with Zhang Jiao for nearly an hour, Chen Yaotian had already given up the idea of killing Zhang Jiao immediately.
Zhang Jiao sincerely considers the people, and Chen Yaotian can feel it from the lines in his words. At the same time, he also knows Zhang Jiao's ideal, he hopes that the world will be unified!
"Datong, hehe..."
Chen Yaotian smiled secretly. Can a harmonious society be realized? Is it delusional?
Zhang Jiao is indeed very talented, and his philosophy is all about equality.
Everything must be distributed equally.
Land, food, gold and silver...
But Chen Yaotian knew that this was a delusion.
We all have greed and desires, so it is impossible to achieve 'equal'.
The two people couldn't agree with each other, and the two people, who were blushing because of the argument, could only walk away.
...
It was just a small episode. After Chen Yaotian and others stayed here for a day, they went straight down from the eldest son and arrived in Luoyang in less than ten days.
Standing quietly under the north gate of Luoyang, looking at the endless flow of people and carriages, Chen Yaotian suddenly remembered that two years ago, at about this time, he was also here. He just left empty-handed and bare-handed, and now he is full of honors.
Return.
In the ancient imperial capital of Luoyang, there were women he longed for, great scholars he respected and admired, and more importantly, potential enemies.
Returning to Luoyang this time, Chen Yaotian was not as calm as he had planned. He knew that there was a huge whirlpool just inside the city gate, waiting for him to jump into it.
But what's so scary about this?
When the soldiers come, they will block it, and when the water comes, the earth will cover it up.
Chen Yaotian sighed, said hello, and rode into the city gate.
The city gate guards had noticed this group of people a long time ago, and some of them recognized their identity, so they sent people to deliver the news to the city early. At this time, Chen Yaotian entered the city, and the guards looked at the neatly arranged five hundred heavy people filled with iron-blooded energy.
Wearing armor, he stood up straight involuntarily and gave a military salute.
Chen Yaotian nodded with a smile and walked through the city gate.
After Chen Yaotian had gone far away, someone familiar with the city defenders came up to ask.
"I said, brother, who is this? Do you deserve to be saluted by everyone?"
The soldier glanced at him with disdain and explained: "Have you seen the man at the front? Mr. Chen, the governor of Shanggu who defeated Xianbei a few days ago! The hero of our Han Dynasty!"
"Master Chen?!" The man's eyes suddenly bulged, and he said in shock: "That's the Master Chen who reigned for less than two years and pacified most of the foreign races in the north?!"
"No." The guard rolled his eyes and ignored it.
"Haha, I actually saw the world-famous Mr. Chen, haha..."
