Chapter 142 Beimang Mountain is located in the north of Luoyang, with an altitude of about 300 meters. It is a loess hilly area and is a natural barrier to the north of Luoyang.
Beimang Mountain is mainly distributed with 33 peaks including Pingfeng Mountain, the hometown of Yanhuang, Yisu Mountain, the former capital of Huaxu, and Cuiyun Peak of Daoyuan's ancestral home. It is a famous cultural mountain in the hinterland of the Central Plains.
Emperors, dignitaries and prominent figures of all dynasties have flocked to this burial place. It is known as "live in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and die in Beimang".
From the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, the bones of more than 40 emperors and more than a thousand dignitaries were buried here.
Climbing Mang Mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the whole city, and the best time to see it is in the evening, so "Late View of Mang Mountain" is listed as one of the eight great scenic spots in Luoyang.
Liu Han was returning to Luoyang from Bingzhou. He happened to pass by this place in the evening and suddenly heard a nursery rhyme being sung among the children: "The marquis is not a marquis, the king is not a king, thousands of horses are riding on Beimang."
These words instantly aroused Liu Han's vigilance. Others didn't know what it meant, but he knew it very well.
A marquis is not like a marquis, and a king is not like a king. They are fleeing on the road in a panic. Thousands of horses come to look for them, and they find the young emperor Liu Bian and the king of Chenliu Liu Xie in Beimang Mountain.
Beimang Mountain is home to the imperial mausoleums, including the original mausoleum of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, the Gongling Mausoleum of Emperor An of the Han Dynasty, the Xianling Mausoleum of Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, the Huailing Mausoleum of Emperor Chong of the Han Dynasty, and the Wenling Mausoleum of Emperor Han general is allowed to carry weapons around the imperial , Dong Zhuo's troops were fully armed and marched majestically in the imperial mausoleum! Obviously, this is a sign that Dong Zhuo was preoccupied with power and stole power. The hierarchy of monarchs and ministers bound by etiquette and law between emperors and ministers in the Han Dynasty collapsed.
Liu Han stopped and took out a few pennies, "Children, who taught you this nursery rhyme?"
"It's a Taoist priest who just came to the village. He is very powerful. The talisman water spell can cure diseases." The child said and pointed with his hand, "That's the Taoist priest!"
Liu Han followed the direction pointed by the child and saw an old Taoist wearing a yellow robe slowly walking towards him. The robe was embroidered with patterns such as Yin-Yang fish and Bagua diagrams. His hair was tied into a bun and fixed with a wooden hairpin. His face looked calm and profound. As if he could tolerate everything in the world, nothing could move him, and there was a little girl following behind him.
"The poor Taoist Zhang Jiao pays homage to the King of Hejian."
Zhang Jiao looked calm and calmly bowed his head to Liu Han.
"Zhang Jiao?"
Liu Han didn't expect that this demon would dare to appear in front of him openly. Judging from this posture, he had put a lot of effort into pretending.
"You are quite courageous. I don't have time to look for you, but you appear in front of me yourself. Could it be that you think Gu's sword is not sharp enough?"
"Haha, the King of Hejian is joking. The poor Taoist does not violate the laws of the Han Dynasty. He also treats diseases, saves people, and teaches Taoism for free. He serves the people of the Han Dynasty. It cannot be said that he has meritorious service, but he is absolutely not guilty and has a clear conscience."
"Ah."
Liu Han didn't believe a word of Zhang Jiao's ability to deceive people. If a liar wants to deceive people, he must first brainwash himself. If he doesn't even believe himself, he won't be able to deceive others.
Liu Han never believed in coincidences, especially such unpredictable coincidences. "Old Taoist, why are you here waiting for me today?"
"If a poor man watches the sky at night, he will be sure that a noble person will pass by here today."
Before Zhang Jiao could finish his words, he was interrupted by Liu Han. Liu Han didn't believe in monsters and ghosts, "Old Taoist, it's meaningless for you to say that."
Seeing that he could not deceive Liu Han, Zhang Jiao could only use laughter to cover up the embarrassment of being discovered, "Hahaha, okay, Pindao has been waiting here for the King of Hejian for ten days."
Ten days?
Liu Han didn't care what he was doing after waiting for him for so long. He calculated in his mind: "Ten days ago was almost the day when the imperial edict was issued. Ha. It seems that this old man has spent a lot of time in Luoyang."
"You don't talk about strange powers and chaos. As a Confucian disciple, I naturally don't believe in this."
"Oh? If you don't believe in my way, then what does the King of Hejian believe in?"
"Alone?" Liu Han said nothing, just recalling the past. The more he entered a strange and dark era, the more he could appreciate the greatness of red ordinary person, without much background or power, could find a way to save the country in that chaotic era, and finally succeeded in overthrowing three mountains and completing the revolution. It is really amazing! Today, although I am constantly looking for a way out of the Han Dynasty, the methods I adopt are all about treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. The reform in every country cannot be smooth sailing. There will always be bloodshed and sacrifice, and the reform in ancient China is even more so. In this way, every reformer will not end well in the end.
There are no exceptions to Shang Yang's Reform of Qin, Wang Mang's reform of Han, Wang Anshi of Song, Zhang Juzheng of Ming, and the Elegy of the Qing Dynasty.
Liu Han originally wanted to tell Zhang Jiao that he believed in the truth, but then he thought about it and said jokingly: "I won't tell you."
Zhang Jiao was full of expectations, but he didn't expect that the King of Hejian would do something like this. "Oh, he is indeed the King of Hejian. His ideas are different."
This means that two negotiations with different motives have broken down.
This man was able to withstand the pressure of the nobles in the court. In two years, he drove the foreigners north, wiped out the Xiongnu and liquidated the powerful nobles. He did everything Zhang Jiao wanted to do but did not dare to do. It was by no means as simple as it seemed. "Liu Butcher, who believes it?"
"King of Hejian, Pindao is just looking for a way out for my Han people."
"But the path you are looking for is wrong."
"It doesn't matter whether you are right or wrong!"
"Then, let's wait and see."
Liu Han didn't want to waste any more words with Zhang Jiao, so he mounted his horse and prepared to all, one can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep. Huangjin Dao has been developed in his hands for so many years, how could he give up?
"Is the King of Hejian really not afraid?"
When Liu Han walked ten steps, Zhang Jiao suddenly asked loudly.
Liu Han stopped his horse, turned his head and looked at Zhang Jiao, with a smile of unknown meaning, "Afraid, but not afraid either."
Following this confusing answer, Liu Han turned his back to Zhang Jiao and continued: "If you have any moves, you'd better use them as soon as possible, otherwise you will have to take them to the coffin."
"Oh, no," Liu Han paused again, turned around and said, "You won't have a coffin."
"Let's go, don't send it away."
After Liu Hanren walked away, Zhang Jiao recovered from the conversation they had just had. "The King of Hejian has known about my plan for a long time, but why didn't he stop it or even expose it? He had already predicted my outcome. Is it right? Or is he too proud? "
"Father?"
Zhang Ning was very worried about Zhang Jiao. She couldn't understand a word of the conversation between the two just now, but her father's face turned pale and she knew that the man was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
"Quick! Let Yan'er order all the people preaching in Bingzhou to withdraw. No one is allowed to go to Bingzhou in the future!"
"Why father?"
"Go quickly! If you're late, it'll be too late!"
The situation shows that the King of Hejian knows a lot about Taiping Road, and even knows many core secrets. The people in Bingzhou are very dangerous. "There is a traitor? Impossible! But how did he know?" Zhang Jiao couldn't think of it. clear.
Liu Han, who was leaving on the other side, didn't look as relaxed as before, but looked stern, "Order Jushou, Xi Zhong, Tian Feng, and Dong Zhao to do their best to investigate the Yellow Turban Road in Bingzhou and drive them out."
"Here."
