Chapter 645 A Different Qingzhou
“In the early Han Dynasty, Master Sima Ji was a doctor of Chu. He traveled to Chang’an to study, Tongyi and Shu Huang Lao, and his magic power was boundless.”
“There are rumors that Master Sima Ji Entering the stone chamber of Weiyu Mountain, he received the crystallization method of hiding in the golden light of the stone in Xi Lingzidu. "Xilingzidu is the Taixuan Fairy, and I heard that she taught Sima Ji how to master the sword."
It was a bit outrageous to say that a good banquet was actually about these illusory topics. Even though he was 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, such as Yang Jiezhi and Yang Xuanzhi.
Not all people with "zhi" in their names may 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 Jiong were indeed followers of Tianshi Tao, so Cao Yi opened his mouth and asked for too much, which made Liang Gong furious and decided to attack with force. I had to defend myself urgently.
Yang Kai doesn't believe this, the reason is very simple: he has never seen anyone who lives forever, not even one.
Some people mentioned that I lived for more than 200 years or even hundreds of years. He was also skeptical and mostly disbelieved.
Are there any reliable ones teaching this or that? He was deeply skeptical.
Some of the Qingzhou scholars here believe it, and some do not believe it. Even though Qingzhou is already the area with the best development of Celestial Masters in the Jin Dynasty - in fact, the entire coastal area has more or less Celestial Masters. The activities on the road are more active than inland.
Most of the Qingzhou scholars who believed in Tianshi Dao were appointed by Cao Yi.
Qingzhou scholars who do not believe in the Tao of the Heavenly Master are not so loyal even if they serve Cao Yi.
Ruling a place by pretending to be gods and ghosts, eventually fell 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. After asking how the deceased died, he took out a hard yellow paper coupon from his sleeve and handed it over.
The person asking for the coupon took it solemnly and thanked him repeatedly.
Yang Kai glanced at it, but couldn't see it clearly. He could only vaguely see a few words: "Notes on the corpse of the ghost", "The ghost is restored", "Yanzhen", "Ruling" and the like. ——He roughly understood that the deceased died violently and violently.
"Master Gao Tian, I have the audacity 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 gave out another one.
Maybe this person had a higher status. Master Gao Tian thought about it and gave him a bunch of things like official seals and certificates.
Yang Kai looked carefully.
Good guy!
The two thousand stone tomb masters and tomb chiefs in the underground are the most exquisitely made. Below there are the tomb gate pavilion chief, tomb left, tomb right, tomb chief, tomb order, main tomb commander, soul gate pavilion chief, tomb Mid-guerrilla...
It is the "Emperor of Heaven" who bestows these underground official positions.
Officials headed by the "Two Thousand Stones Underground" tomb uncle can borrow the power of the "Emperor of Heaven" to cast spells to attack evil ghosts, gods, and spirits.
Awesome! Qingzhou, you are different from others.
Yang Kai withdrew his gaze and secretly laughed 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 mysteries 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 knew that the Yu family in Yingchuan passed down Confucianism to his family. Yu Liang, who was familiar with Confucian classics, liked to talk about mystical doctrines to adapt to the atmosphere of the scholar circle.
Absurd! Yang Kai secretly sneered and ignored them.
"General Zhendong has arrived." Someone outside the door announced loudly.
Everyone present looked solemn, immediately adjusted their robe sleeves, and sat upright.
Yang Kai was a little surprised. Cao Yi, the co-author, has a high prestige in Qingzhou.
Not long after, a handsome scholar wearing a scarlet robe came in from the gate. After glancing around, his eyes paused on Yang Kai, then looked away again.
"See General Zhendong." Everyone kneeling behind the desk 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 Ni 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, but not the general of Zhendong." Yang Kai replied. road.
“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: "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 appointed me as Qingzhou Mu and General Anton."
< br>"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: "My ancestor Zhi went north from Xuzhou, and I went south from Qingzhou. We attacked together, and Pengcheng was 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: "Zu Ti was surrounded in Xiapi and retreated hastily. Didn't Duke Cao see it? How dare this person go north? It's not like Duke Cao has never attacked Langya, Dongguan and other counties. , What’s the result? Don’t you retreat to Qingzhou in the end?”
Cao Yi frowned and said displeasedly: “Is it possible that Shao Xun won’t give it to me? How stingy is it that Qingzhou Mu will not give it to me?” >
Yang Kai sneered in his heart, it turns out that you only have so many palaces, and I thought you were a person who would not change his color even if Mount Tai collapsed. Unexpectedly, after a few words, it became a bit unbearable and disappointing.
"How important is the position of state pastor! 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 Ji. If you act in this way, you can win Are you a state pastor?" Yang Kai asked.
Cao Yi's face became increasingly unhappy and 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 was palpable.
Some soldiers came from outside and asked Yang Kai to come out.
Yang Kai snorted coldly and stood up.
Before he went out, Cao Yi said again: "Let Shao Xun come 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 there any need to hold on? ?"
Gao Liang hesitated for a while and said, "Ming Gong, didn't you have a divination? It won't be difficult for Qingzhou Mu to give in sooner or later."
Cao Yi felt a little relieved, but still a little anxious.
We have been arguing with the Jin Dynasty for a long time. The Wang family of Langya sent envoys, and the Taiyang family also sent envoys. After many talks, Shao Xun never let go - he knew who was actually in charge of this matter. It's Shao Xun, Jin Ting is just his official tool.
Cao Yi turned to look at Xu Miao again.
Xu Miao cupped his hands and said: "Ming Gong, wasn't there an iron coupon found in the deep stream outside the city? And a messenger from the Emperor of Heaven sent down an elixir book, saying that Ming Gong must be the lord of Qingzhou. With this elixir book and iron coupon, what can I do to Ming Gong? Are you afraid?"
Cao Yi choked.
The elixir 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 there, Xu Miao changed his tone to a more serious tone and said: "Ming Gong, Guanggu City is high and the pond is deep, and there are enough food and weapons. We will be able to hold on. As long as we can hold it for a long time. Well, Zu Ti will definitely go north, and there will be action on Pingyang, which may turn the crisis around." Hearing this, Cao Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.
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, the fields were flat, and there was no danger to defend, so I gave up the idea of using it as a place of governance. Military leaders like to live in areas that are conducive to defense. Inside the fortified city, it feels safer that way.
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", and the word "solid" is also used.
Taken together, it is called "Guanggu City".
Guangxian and Guanggu City themselves were also merged into Linzi of the State of Qi - no, it should be called Qijun, but if you accept Sima Rui's appointment, it should be called back to the State of Qi - today's Guangzhou It is the joint seat of the three levels of government of Qingzhou, Qijun and Linzi. It is also the seat of the shogunate of General Cao Yi Zhendong, which is the foundation for his dominance of Qingzhou.
With this city here, Cao Yi seemed to have a little more confidence.
Just asking for help from Qingzhou Mu, dragging your feet, pushing back and refusing to give, what’s the point? ! After thinking about the strong and strong city, Cao Yi felt as if his chest could stand upright, and a surge of resentment towards Shao Xun surged in his heart.
Of course, he also clearly knows the strength gap between the two sides.
He was not arrogant and did not try to fight to the end. The pulling and pulling done now is just to obtain greater benefits. Otherwise, he would kill the envoy, cut off his escape route, and fight to the death with Shao Xun.
"There will be another banquet tomorrow and the envoy from Jianye will be invited to come." Cao Yi made up his mind and ordered.
