Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 54 Power Struggle

Chapter 54 Power Struggle

A storm caused by Zhao Gang swept across Xianyang.

The patrol battalion and thousands of Qin soldiers quickly marched into Xianyang. While the streets were under martial law, house-to-house searches were started.

Just as Xu Fu guessed, the two strongholds in the city had already been emptied, but it was not without any gains. Traces of the Yin Yang family's activities were still found in many places.

According to the only remaining clues, Wang Ben quickly mobilized his troops to drive towards the Daqing Peak outside the city.

Inside Daqing Peak, Donghuang Taiyi looked serious.

"Sir, do you want to continue killing time?"

Zhao Gang sighed: "Sages and sages often make wrong choices in life and death, let alone me."

"A sage never chooses to die on his own." Donghuang Taiyi's voice was colder than the midwinter wind at this moment. "When you swallow this pill, you will understand that living is always right."

Zhao Gang looked intently at the inconspicuous little pill in Donghuang Taiyi's hand, and his smile became a little forced.

"Is this medicine bitter?"

Donghuang Taiyi seemed to have lost his patience, his figure flickered, and he grabbed Zhao Gang's chin.

"Wait..." Zhao Gang struggled a bit, "I can just eat it myself, why bother so much, wouldn't it be nice to be gentle?"

Donghuang Taiyi stared at him for a moment, then let go of his hand and said quietly: "Why do you waste this time, this is the secret stronghold of my Yin-Yang family, will anyone come to rescue you?"

"That's not necessarily true." Zhao Gang squeezed the black pill in front of him with his hand, "What if someone comes to save me, I have a temper, and I won't give up until I reach the Yellow River. Your Excellency Donghuang is very clever, why bother?" After a while, if I swallow it, I will become your puppet, I have to say what you ask me to say, and I can’t do what you ask me to do, that kind of feeling is not good."

"You can choose the third way."

Zhao Gang's expression became serious. He put the pill in his palm and asked slowly: "Your Excellency Donghuang, can I ask you a question?"

Donghuang Taiyi under the cloak let out a little laugh and sat down.

For him, killing Zhao Gang was far less cost-effective than mastering paper technology.

Onmyojis are not saints.

They know very well that whoever controls the method of papermaking is equivalent to choking the throat of other sects.

"Say."

"Your Yin Yang family is obviously trusted by His Majesty, so you wrote a book saying that it is not good to teach children? Why did you come to this muddy water and kill Your Majesty? What good is it for you?"

"We never intended to kill His Majesty."

"You don't tell the truth." Zhao Gang shook his head, "But it doesn't matter, because I know your purpose."

"You know?" Donghuang Taiyi became interested.

"Designate the emperor on behalf of the heavens! This is your plan."

Donghuang Taiyi looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Why did you come to such a ridiculous conclusion."

Zhao Gang looked at him quietly, until he finished his last few laughs before turning his head around, but the pupils hidden in his eyes had shrunk into a cold point.

Zhao Gang looked back at him, his gaze was steady as if frozen, even though Donghuang Taiyi's aura became stronger and stronger, he didn't shake him a bit.

"Although the Yin-Yang family seems mysterious and profound, it is actually the fusion of the directors of Taoism, Mohism and other schools. In order to show your uniqueness, it is covered with a veil of mystery. You do not have the ability to change dynasties. The only thing you have, It is to guide the king, believe in the gods, and believe in fate."

"Kings are human beings, and they are also afraid of life and death. You have captured this mentality and used special methods to trick them into believing in you and in the existence of gods in heaven and earth. As the link between humans and gods, the Yin-Yang family has naturally become an indispensable link. indispensable existence."

Zhao Gang knows very well that throughout the development of Chinese culture, it has experienced many changes and disasters.But it boils down to a power struggle.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, hundreds of schools of thought contended. Scholars from various schools spread their own ideas. In fact, they wanted to control the thinking of a country with their own doctrines.

Among them, Confucianism is the most typical.

Because of the vigilance against Confucianism, no country in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States was willing to use Confucianism as the foundation of governing the country.

This situation developed until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when Confucian scholar Dong Zhongshu found an opportunity.

The Three Strategies of Heaven and Man is not bad, on the contrary, it is because of this thing that the kings of later generations always regard great unification as their lifelong goal in their hearts.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gained power and Confucianism developed.It seems to be a win-win situation, but in fact, the imperial power has been greatly weakened.

Because after that, Confucianism can participate in central decision-making.It can even evaluate the quality of an emperor and change the views of future generations on this emperor.

And this is also the direction that Yin Yangists have been pursuing.

Although Zhao Gang's words were not loud, they were like a hammer hitting Donghuang Taiyi's heart.

For the first time, he understood why Yingzheng made an exception and reused Zhao Gang.

Because this guy is so smart.

He saw everything and said everything.

This kind of person must not stay.

Thinking of this, Donghuang Taiyi stretched out his hand, and Zhao Gang only felt a sharp pain in his throat and couldn't breathe. When his eyes were a little dark, he suddenly felt the pressure loosen, and he fell heavily all at once.

Before he could react, Donghuang Taiyi stuffed the pill into his mouth, pushed and patted it, forcing him to swallow it.

"It's... so boring." Zhao Gang coughed violently.

He knew very well that at such a close distance, all his small movements could not be hidden from Donghuang Taiyi's eyes.

"Zhao Gang, Zhao Gang! You really surprised me, but it's a pity that you are not from my yin and yang family. You and I are destined to stand on the opposite side. Now that the poison has entered your body, if you want to survive, you have to see if you are obedient obedient."

Zhao Gang looked at Donghuang Taiyi: "What's the point of you forcing me to take poison? Your Majesty must have known about your actions. Don't you dare to drag me to see him?"

"Your Majesty will naturally want to meet, but you have no chance." The Eastern Emperor Tai pulled him up from the ground.

"I just want you to die right now. That's right, you are too powerful. You are so powerful that I am afraid. If I don't kill you, I will have trouble sleeping and eating. When I solve you, I can go to His Majesty to explain."

Donghuang Taiyi said this, his complexion suddenly changed, he turned around suddenly, and shouted sharply: "Who is it?"
