Zhang Zhaoduan sat down with a confident smile and even a little conceited.

Sun Ce smiled and raised his teacup, saying a pun. "Duke Zhang is already on the way to the minister."

Zhang Zhao smiled slightly, picked up the teacup, and received it happily.

Sun Ce knew that the ministers Zhang Zhao mentioned were not ministers in the ordinary sense. This greatness not only refers to a great official and powerful person, but also adheres to the principle of being a person, and lives up to the teachings of saints, establish merits, morality, and words. It is indispensable. In other words, the so-called ministers of the country, Yi Yin and Zhou Gong are their goals. No matter how bad they are, they will be like Xiao He and Zhou Bo.

Of course, the premise is that the official should be high and how can you do things without power? At least three ministers must be required, and nine ministers are not qualified to become ministers.

According to the Han Dynasty's official customs, if you don't talk about the newly emerging official position of the prefect, the prefect is usually the peak of local officials. If you go further, you will have to join the court as a minister. The prefect is also divided into three or six grades, Henan Yin and Jingzhao Yin are the first grade, Yingchuan Taishu, and Runan Taishu. If you have a negligence, you will usually choose from these four people first. If you want to be promoted, you will also be promoted in the default order. Just like if you have a negligence, you will also be replaced by Sikong and Situ, Situ and Taiwei, and you will be replaced in sequence.

The emperor was in Guanzhong, and the Jingzhao Yin was before the Henan Yin. The current Jingzhao Yin was Sima Fang and the Henan Yin was Zhou Yi. However, the emperor was weak, which was equivalent to the princes. The Jingzhao Yin and Henan Yin were not worthy of value. As for the area controlled by Sun Ce, Yingchuan Prefect Pang Shanmin was undoubtedly the first, followed by Zhang Zhao, the prefect of Runan.

If Sun Ce controls the government, Zhang Zhao will be promoted to Henan Yin or Jingzhao Yin, then Jiuqing, and then Sangong. As he is less than forty years old, this career will be smooth. If he considers that he has not had an experience of becoming an official before and has started his career as a prefect, it will be no different from being a one-step climb to heaven. At this speed, he can be ranked third king at less than sixty years old.

In Sun Ce's plan, Zhang Zhao was originally the choice of the three ministers. He was uneven in civil and military affairs, with many military generals and few civil officials, and countless people could command troops. In the future, there would be no worries that no one would be the Grand Marshal, but not many could be the prefect of a county, and in the future, there were only a handful of people who could be Situ.

Zhang Zhao is undoubtedly a more suitable one. In his heart, Zhang Zhao is a minister.

Zhang Zhao was also very clear in his heart that all this was brought by Sun Ce. If it weren't for Sun Ce, he wouldn't have started his family as the prefect, nor would he be the prefect of Runan all at once. He was grateful to Sun Ce for his kindness of knowing and was cherished very much. He did not want Sun Ce to take a wrong step, nor did he want him to be plotted by others. It is of course a good thing to dislike marriage with the emperor and dominate the world. But if it is a conspiracy, it would be a different matter.

If Yuan Shao is in power or wins the world, it would be good if he can continue to be the prefect, but it would be difficult to become the third duke. Who is Yuan Shao? The third duke he likes must be a famous family, and most of them will choose from the Ruying family. Small families like the Zhang family in Pengcheng cannot attract Yuan Shao's attention.

In terms of public or private affairs, Zhang Zhao did not want Yuan Shao to succeed.

At this point, Sun Ce and Zhang Zhao had a tacit understanding. As for whether Sun Ce would be satisfied with holding power and whether he would go further, Zhang Zhao would not stop him without thinking, and could only do his best to do his best and leave his will. If God would do so, he could only accept it.

"So, Mr. Zhang's interest is not in becoming an immortal, but in the Taiping Jing?"

"That's right." Zhang Zhao said with a sigh: "Peace is the wish of the people of the world. The scriptures are the unchanging ways for all generations. This book can be called "Peace" and also called it by the scriptures. It must not be an idiotic book. It should appear to save the world. Therefore, the immortals presented it to the court. However, the ministers and mediocre officials did not know the wonders and locked in the deep palace. Although Zhang Jiao obtained the scriptures, his talent and virtue were not enough. Therefore, although he wanted to achieve peace in the world, he could only kill creatures in the chaotic world. Alas..."

Zhang Zhao sighed lightly and said earnestly. "General, you are amazing and talented. You are determined to win between two formations and farm in the north and south of the Yangtze River. In just a few years, the three states of Jingyu and Yangyang have been stable. The world depends on the general's peace, and it is more than a thousand miles away from Zhangjiao. It is the name of a phoenix and a meeting of an immortal. This is due to the general's kindness. If you can obtain the immortal's teachings of peace and build peace for all ages, you will have immeasurable merits. It is not only the blessing of the general, but also the blessing of the world."

Looking at Zhang Zhao's earnest gaze, Sun Ce suddenly realized. The reason why the rule of the monarch, minister, father and son is listed at the end is because of the urgent need. Zhang Zhao wants to emphasize it in particular. To solve the urgent need, Yu Ji's arrival is more meaningful in Zhang Zhao's heart. This is not just about meeting immortals, opening their horizons, or whether they can live forever, but about the great event that concerns peace for all ages.

This is the highest goal of Confucian scholars and the common vision of Confucian scholars.

He claims to be in the name of Taiping, and uses the scriptures, and is passed down by immortals. For Zhang Zhao, who believes in the gods, this is simply synonymous with destiny. With the blessing of Yu Ji and Taiping Sutra, even if he really wants to go further in the future, Zhang Zhao will not be surprised. Judging from his expression at this moment, although he is still doing his best for the Guanzhong court, he should be prepared in his heart.

He came to talk about this matter specifically, perhaps because he was worried that he did not realize the importance of it and had to take action himself. In his eyes, although Guo Jia, Pang Tong and others were full of wisdom and had insufficient knowledge and cultivation, they might not have such a high level of knowledge. As he expected, Guo Jia and Pang Tong have not mentioned this so far. Their recent attention is on the current situation in the world, and they have no time to pay attention to long-term stability, and have not linked Yu Ji, Taiping Jing and the world-class Taiping.

Sun Ce suddenly understood why Guo Jia could not pass it with Xun Yu and others in "The Three Kingdoms", and Pang Tong could not pass it with Zhuge Liang, not only because they did not have enough official positions, but also because they had insufficient vision. They had strong practical ability, but insufficient theoretical height.

Sun Ce was silent for a moment. He himself did not realize this problem. If Zhang Zhao had not brought him a reminder, he would have missed this opportunity. He also scratched his head a little. The name of "Taiping Jing" is very famous and many people have studied it in later generations, but he has not covered it. He only knew that there was the book "Taiping Jing" and he knew nothing about the content. If Yu Jizhen discussed "Taiping Jing" with him, he would have been blind.

"Mr. Zhang, do you understand the Taiping Jing?"

Zhang Zhao shook his head. "The Taiping Jing is a book taught by immortals. It was first hidden in the deep palace and then in the hands of Zhang Jiao. Where can I get the chance to see it? Don't you have the Yellow Turban Army under your command? They don't understand it? If it really doesn't work, ask Chen Yi, he has a deep relationship with Xiang Gong Ju (Xiang Kai) and should have some understanding."

Seeing Sun Ce smile bitterly, Zhang Zhao thought for a moment and said, "General, don't worry too much. Since the immortal comes, he naturally has expectations for you, but he will not expect you to be proficient in the "Taiping Jing". If so, why should he come? The general doesn't read much, and benevolence and filial piety are natural. At that time, you only need to be honest and ask for advice. Even if there is any inappropriate response, the immortal will not care about it."

Sun Ce suddenly realized, took two steps back, put away his smile, and gave a respectful gift.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your advice."
