When the Spirit Monarch first ascended the throne, he relied on the strength of the eunuchs to establish his regime. Therefore, after he ascended the throne, he took special care of the eunuchs. However, this led to the constant sharpening of the conflict between the courtiers and the eunuchs. Finally, a struggle for party prohibitions broke out, and the ruling class was divided. As the most corrupt class in this society, the eunuchs firmly held real power. Ten eunuchs who formed cliques in the imperial court were called the "Ten Attendants of the Eternal". This Spirit Monarch was also an idiot. He actually addressed Zhang Xin as 'father'. With such a class in control of the government, it caused the government to decline and thieves to rise everywhere. It was really chaotic.
In Hebei's Julu area, there were three brothers. One was the eldest, called Zhang Jiao; One was the second son, Zhang Bao, and the other was the third son, Zhang Liang. The three of them had no one to rely on and could only go up the mountain to pick herbs every day. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. They had a certain understanding of medicine and could solve some difficult illnesses. This would be of great help to them in the future.
Among the three, Zhang Jiao was the most capable. Zhang Jiao was a scheming person. He had learned some cultural knowledge at home. Although he couldn't write poems that had been passed down through the ages, he was still a little intellectual. He had some knowledge and could motivate some people.
As an ordinary citizen, he had no money and no background. Such conditions could only make him unknown, but he was unwilling to accept it. He had his own ideas and his own future. For this purpose, he had wanted to use various means to seek development for himself. However, in such a society, the struggle of an ordinary person could not let him get what he wanted. Thus, he had the heart to disobey. But how? It was true that this person's condition was to rely on himself to fight for it, but the heavens only cared for those who had intentions.
At this moment, there was an old Taoist priest who had some magic power. He wanted the world to be in chaos. This person was Nanhua Old Deity. I suspect that he is one of the early pharmacists in our country, and he has done some research on chemical reactions. These things looked quite scary, so everyone called him a god. Although he had the appearance of a fairy, he had given Zhang Jiao the [Art of Peace], which had magical powers. He said that he wanted to save the world and preach enlightenment on behalf of heaven. If he had second thoughts, heaven and earth would not bless him. This was all nonsense. If he had foresight, he could just not give it to him. Zhang Jiao was worried that he couldn't develop himself. He didn't expect a sticky bean bun to fall from the sky. It was as if he had obtained a treasure. When he returned home, he would study the contents of the book day and night. His ability was constantly improving. However, since this person had second thoughts, how could he only think of saving everyone? The hearts of the people were lacking.
In the first month of the first year of Zhongping, there was a plague. Zhang Jiao had used his experience of picking herbs in the mountains and the guidance from the [Vital Art of Peace] to release talismans to save people. The commoners did not care about this. He knew that this person could save him. They would follow whoever could give him food and let him live well. This Zhang Jiao had used some small tricks in the book to deceive many people, and he claimed to be a "great teacher". After taking in 500 disciples, all of them had received Zhang Jiao's true teachings and could draw talismans to save people. I think I know this trick too. Why did he say that? Are you sincere? If you were sincere, you would listen to your teacher. If your teacher gave you the blessing of heaven, you would be fine. Under this spiritual encouragement, those with strong resistance would be fine. I said that I saved him. If he dies, I'll say that he's not sincere. If he's not sincere, he can't be saved. Whether he was saved or not, he was right. I've said it more clearly. Therefore, people believed that Zhang Jiao was a living immortal, the reincarnation of an immortal.
In this way, he would have more and more disciples, and this "Taiping Yaoshu" was the organization he founded. Zhang Jiao used the charm of the talisman to lure people into the Road of Peace. After entering the Road, they would not get sick and would have a good teacher to protect them. As the world had been poor for a long time, the people had no way out. Suddenly, an organization that could protect them appeared. If they didn't join it quickly, the power of the Road of Peace would increase greatly.
As the number of Taiping Taoists increased, Zhang Jiao started to set up an organization. He had 36 groups. The generous ones had 10,000 people, and the small ones had 7,000 - 8,000 people. He also set up a general in each group. When the disciples asked him why he had to suffer here, Zhang Jiao's ambition was revealed. He said what he had thought of,"The heavens are dead, the yellow heavens should be established, the year is sixty years, and the world is in good luck." Because of his extraordinary divine power, the people believed that this was true. That was because at that time, everyone worshipped Zhang Jiao's name.
This situation attracted the attention of some knowledgeable officials. They proposed a series of measures to deal with Zhang Jiao, but the Emperor did not even look at the memorial. Secondly, even if he did, he wouldn't believe these officials. Third, the eunuch had benefited from Zhang Jiao and was helping him. Thus, Zhang Jiao's strength kept increasing. They were able to calmly prepare for the uprising and even prepared the time. However, at any time, there would be news. As the saying goes, there is no wall that cannot be leaked. This preparation plan that had been hidden for ten years was finally reported to the imperial court by a disciple named Tang Zhou. At this moment, the imperial court woke up from a dream and quickly mobilized their troops to capture Ma Yuanyi, the leader of Zhang Jiao's uprising in Luoyang. As for the spies in the capital, Feng and the others, they were all caught in one fell swoop, and Zhang Jiao was wanted all over the country. Do you think this traitor killed someone? However, in this world, one could not leave such a person. Because of such a person, the world would cherish beautiful things, cherish the hard-won beautiful life, and cherish their friends and relatives. Because of the existence of these people, the story could continue to develop.
Facing the sudden change and the betrayal of his trusted disciple, Zhang Jiao wasn't scared. If he was scared, he wouldn't have come here. He didn't panic. The fact that he was able to achieve such a situation showed that he wasn't a free person.
Zhang Jiao responded. Although the uprising was ahead of schedule, they had been preparing for it for ten years. This was enough time. With Zhang Jiao's order, the Taoists of Peace in Qing, You, Xu, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Yu started an uprising. Zhang Jiao called himself General Heaven Duke, Zhang Bao called himself General Earth Duke, and Zhang Liang called himself General Human Duke. The uprising army was all wrapped in yellow turbans, so this uprising was also called the "Yellow Turban Uprising" because of its ample organization and effective propaganda. The government troops were unstoppable. Zhang Jiao encouraged the people," The heavens can't control you anymore. You can only join the ranks of the saints and fight for peace." As a result, the number of people who responded to the call to participate in the Yellow Turban Uprising reached 400,000 to 500,000.
This year was the Year of the Sixty-Year in history, which was the year 184.
