Chapter 1069 The three kings contend, Shi's profits

"Uncle, what you mean is that it was one of the three kings in the Han court who colluded with Shi Le that would make him go south so smoothly!"

In the empty house, Zhang Bin and Zhang Duo uncle and nephew sat opposite each other, and there was a chessboard between them, Zhang Duo's face full of shock.

"What's so surprised?" Zhang Bin put Bai Zi on the chessboard and said lightly, "Whether King Donghai or King Guanghan, even King Jin and King Changsha were the only ones who ruled, and even the emperor was not taken seriously by them. He naturally regarded the whole world as a treasure. In addition to authority, he also had some feelings for family and country, but the three kings ruled together, which was different."

Zhang Duo calmed down his surprise slightly, carefully took out a chess piece, placed it on the chessboard, and asked, "But because of party struggles? My nephew heard that the three kings arrived in Beijing and each brought a group of troops and placed them in the court. So not long after, party struggles broke out. A few days ago, a man named Su Jun went north to Jizhou. He heard that this person was excluded in the party struggles and became an idle person. He finally seized the opportunity and came to the north."

"Su Jun is a smart man," Zhang Bin put down another pawn. "His choice is correct. Leaving Luoyang, he will get out of the cage and have the opportunity to go to a higher level. In contrast, Luoyang has long since there was no right or wrong in the party struggle, which has made the people who have power lose their competencies. In order to seize power, they can do anything! Including attracting foreign enemies."

"Is it true that Shi Le went south this time because of the three kings' struggle?"

"Yes," Zhang Bin nodded slightly, "The three kings must have a distinction between high and low for power. If there are successful people, there will be frustrated people. If the frustrated person wants to seize power, relying on his own strength, his subordinates can no longer do it. Of course, he must look outside. If there is a strong enemy attack, it is the most ideal situation. Besides, the three kings are in power and govern in chaos, and there are complaints in the capital. It attracts foreign places and can also unite people's hearts and divert the direction. Therefore, some people attract and some people contribute to the fire, which will lead to the current situation."

"This makes sense!" Zhang Duo breathed a sigh of relief, "I think one of the three kings attracted foreign enemies in order to change the situation, and the power struggle between them became increasingly fierce, and finally led to the emperor's departure from the capital."

After saying this, he suddenly shook his head and showed anger: "It's a pity that Shi Le didn't trust his uncle. If his uncle had planned for him, he might really achieve great things when he went south."

Zhang Bin left a son and said calmly: "Even if I didn't plan for him, he could still swallow the land and occupy the city and accumulate great power; even if I planned for him, he would stand firm in the Central Plains, but he could not achieve great things."

"Why is this?"

Zhang Bin said: "This time when Shi Le went south, although he was exploited, he actually surrounded Luoyang. With his style of conduct, he would not miss this opportunity. In addition, the emperor's travel caused chaos in the Han army and could not be united. He must let Shi Le succeed. He may be able to occupy most of Sizhou and then covet the three prefectures of Qingxu and Yan."

Under the urging of his uncle, Zhang Duo hurriedly left a piece, but he didn't even look at the chess game. He just asked: "In this way, wouldn't it take the essence of the world? Isn't it possible to accomplish anything?"

Zhang Bin glanced at his nephew and said lightly: "If there is no Youzhou, it may be possible to accomplish anything."

Zhang Duo was stunned and realized something in his heart.

Zhang Bin said again, "You lost this game of chess."

Zhang Duo smiled and said, "How could he win my uncle?"

"Your chess power has declined in recent years, which is not a good phenomenon," Zhang Bin packed up the chess pieces. "You should not be neglected when doing things and playing chess. When you make a move, you don't look at the situation and don't even know how you lose."

Zhang Duo thought for a moment, and sweated coldly.

Zhang Bin glanced at his nephew: "I know you are dissatisfied with Nie, but you shouldn't show it, and you shouldn't ignore the situation. You are in dilemma with Buddhism everywhere. Now that Buddhist forces are everywhere in Jizhou, you are still making things difficult for you everywhere. You have offended people long ago. Why do you think I am not trusted so quickly?"

When Zhang Duo heard this, he understood and immediately fell to the ground, claiming guilty, implicating his uncle.

Zhang Bin put away the chessboard and waved his hand and said, "Get up, there is a reason for you in this matter, but I have a deeper strait with Shi Le, which is just accelerating the time."

Zhang Duo still blamed himself, but couldn't help saying: "Shi Le is also wise. Why can't Buddhism expand? Buddhist temples gather refugees to strengthen their strength? This is a hidden danger. Reducing troops and taxes is actually a traitor!"

Zhang Bin said, "What Shi wanted was not Buddhist temples, but Buddhism. He was a Jie people, and he entered the Central Plains and dominated them, but had no foundation. The Han people had Confucianism, Mystery, Mo, and Taoism, but the Jie people were empty and had nothing. How could they teach the people? Only by guiding Buddha to suppress the mysterious Confucianism."

"Huh?" Zhang Duo's knowledge has increased over the years and is no longer Wu Xia Ameng. He immediately understood and said, "My uncle means that the Jie people have shallow foundations and shorter history, and they have no past that can be shown. So we need to introduce Buddhism to make up for it?"

Zhang Bin nodded and said coldly: "That's true. If you don't do this, it will take only three generations to be Jie, but even so, you will still just struggle. Although Buddhism is foreign, it is very different from the customs of the Central Plains. It is a way for many enlightened monks to study things. They transform Hu into Xia, turn Buddhism into Confucianism, and use Chinese classics as the roots to reinterpret Buddhist scriptures, and then they can be accepted by the world..."

Zhang Duo recalled all kinds of things and felt that it was true, so he praised: "Uncle really can see it thoroughly."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Bin showed disappointment and said, "The book "The Treatise on Buddha" by Chen is well-known. He even divided Buddhism into six schools and seven sects, and named each school's key points. Even though southern Buddhism fell into internal struggle, he forced several monks to go north and wanted to lay the foundation here!"

Zhang Duo showed a look of embarrassment.

Zhang Bin said in a slight reprimand saying: "I know your thoughts, and I know that you have contacted the north two years ago, but don't think that relying on this northern connection, you can sit in a high position. Youzhou Wenju is an act that turbulent the world. In the future, Chen's family will gain power and will definitely promote the world to subvert the world. If you don't follow it, sooner or later, you will no longer succeed as you do in the Shile army. What will you do to rebel against the Chen family?"

Zhang Duo was embarrassed by this series of questions and lowered his head and said nothing.

Fortunately, the arrival of the servant at home interrupted Zhang Bin's next words and relieved Zhang Duo's embarrassment. However, the news brought by this servant surprised both uncle and nephew.

"The emperor is trapped?" Zhang Duo looked at the information and looked at his uncle, "This matter is extraordinary!"

After Zhang Bin pondered, he suddenly said, "You go back and pack up your things, go north immediately, and surrender to Chen."

"What?" Zhang Duo's expression changed slightly. Although he had been waiting for this day for a long time, he suddenly knew that it was not the right time. "Uncle, you?"

"If I move, Shi Le will know immediately and will make a long-term plan."

Zhang Duo immediately shook his head and said, "Since my uncle doesn't leave, how can my nephew go? He serves the people!"
