Chu Tianxiu stayed in Yu Yuan in a low-key manner for a few days.

When I was idle, I watched Li Yu, Di'er, and Zu'er practice swords in the courtyard. The three girls chased by the rockery pond in the courtyard, the sword light was flying, fluttering like a fairy, and the beauty was incomprehensible.

Also, it is to write "The Story of Stones".

But if you stay in Yuyuan for a long time, you will eventually panic.

Moreover, after the sting, the spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River is often endless, and it is inevitable to be depressed after holding it in Yuyuan for many days.

"Zu'er, let's go, my uncle will take you outside to breathe!"

Chu Tianxiu took Zu'er, holding an umbrella, out of the Pingwang Mansion, swaggered to Changle Street, and prepared to go to the Hongmen Inn to play with Shen Wanbao, a fox and a dog friend, and discuss how to make money.

Hongmen Inn is a very special place, the hall on the first floor is the gathering place of Confucian scholars, and the elegant seat on the second and third floors is the gathering place of scholars and gentlemen.

Because of the gathering of people here and the well-informed, the scholars in Jinling like to go to the Hongmen Inn to join in the fun.

"The newspaper of each house, the latest newspaper of each house~!"

But I saw the streets of Changle Street, outside the Hongmen Inn, there were hawkers selling newspapers from various residences.

Recently, Jinling City, Di Bao has sprung up like mushrooms after the rain, under the banner of opening up the road, competing for beauty.

Although movable type printing is the unique skill of "Da Chu Di Bao", it can publish a Di newspaper every day, and the sales are hot, as high as 120,000 copies per day.

However, other companies also spend a lot of manpower, financial resources, and time to use wood board engraving and printing, and produce a newspaper every three to five days, and it is still possible to print a large number of newspapers.

Even if it sells a little less, only a few hundred or thousands of copies, it is better than nothing - Di Bao is a loudspeaker, it is influence.

This made it very convenient for Chu Tianxiu to see the news and intelligence of various forces.

Most of these Jinling Mansion newspapers are waving their flags and shouting for the Confucian faction and the nobles of the gate valve. Mixed with a lot of true and false news, just take a look.

"Prime Minister's Mansion Daily", Moling County Ling Dong Xianliang published the latest doctrine "Yin and Yang Disaster Theory", which caused a sensation in Jinling City! Come and see! There are only a dozen copies left, while stocks last! ”

A hawker shouted for a buy.

On the streets, many Confucian scholars raised money to buy the "Prime Minister's Mansion Newspaper", and there were many discussions in groups of three or five, and their faces were full of excitement, which was indescribable.

"Master Dong is so powerful that he can write such an esoteric doctrine. This is to integrate our Confucian doctrine and Taoist doctrine. He is preaching, and he has attained the Tao of my Confucian sages! ”

"He is worthy of being the proud disciple of Master Kong!"

"The old man was ignorant in the first half of his life, but today when I read Lord Dong's "Yin and Yang Disaster Theory", I finally realized all the doubts in the world."

"I heard that Lord Dong Xianliang is at the Hongmen Inn today, communicating with all the Confucian students and giving them some advice. Let's go and see! ”

The Confucian students hurried to the lively Hongmen Inn.

The Hongmen Inn was really crowded, and Dong Xianliang was surrounded by a large group of Confucian scholars in Jinling City, preaching his latest doctrine "Yin and Yang Calamity".

"Here's a copy!"

Chu Tianxiu couldn't help but be curious when he saw a group of Confucian students surrounding the hawkers in front of them.

Zu'er immediately helped him buy the Di Bao, and when he looked at it, he saw the front page of the "Prime Minister's Mansion Newspaper", which published a new blockbuster doctrine - Dong Xianliang's "Yin and Yang Calamity".

This made Chu Tianxiu grin and feel a toothache.

"Yin and Yang", from "Zhou Yi". Yin and yang, one positive and one negative, originally told about an objective and simple dialectic, the change of heaven and earth.

"Calamity" refers to all the stars in heaven and earth, disasters of fire and water, great droughts, locust plagues, plagues... And so on, all of them are disasters in nature.

These two concepts are both about objectivity and nature, and there is not much relationship between the two.

However, Dong Xianliang's brain is too active.

Dong Xianliang not only studied Confucian scriptures, but also learned Yin and Yang, and his brain was hot, and he blended the theories of various schools together.

Dong Xianliang went to Moling County to repair the altar, test the study of yin and yang, and personally presided over the call for wind and rain, and the people and squires admired him incomparably.

Dong Xianliang further changed the "Yin and Yang Studies" to "Heaven and Man Induction", saying that heaven and man will affect each other.

The sky affects people, and people affect the sky.

Relying on the "induction of heaven and man", he deduced the "study of catastrophe" to the fact that God is punishing people for their lack of virtue.

Dong Xianliang's "Yin and Yang Disaster Theory" successfully linked yin and yang and disaster science together.

In a simple sentence, it is "Whenever there is a disaster in heaven and earth, it is caused by the defects of kings and courtiers, which is God's strong warning and punishment." As long as you obediently correct your mistakes and bow to heaven and earth to apologize, these calamities will disappear. ”

This doctrine is strongly deceptive.

Because any major natural disaster often brings about **, a crisis of social turmoil, a crisis of national turmoil... Or even a great collapse of the empire.

Natural disasters and ** always occur at the same time, and they go hand in hand.

Dong Xianliang linked them together, of course, many people will think, "Hey, it makes sense!" ”

Since the birth of "The Theory of Yin and Yang Calamity", it has influenced the land of China for 2,000 years, which shows the strength of the vitality of this doctrine.

Even, the influence has continued to modern times, and whenever disaster comes, there are still some people who can't wait to jump out and say sourly:

"Look, there is another natural disaster, and this God's warning and punishment for you is coming! Hurry up and change it, change the position, change the system, kowtow and apologize, and change all the systems, and this natural disaster will not happen. ”

These modern people's brains are not very good.

Not to mention the antiquity of two thousand years ago.

Conflating two things that happened at the same time is, of course, easily accepted by the intuition of the ancients.

Chu Tianxiu was full of banter about this.

A natural disaster is a natural disaster.

Have a half-dime relationship with someone?

Just because these two things happened at the same time, it can't be said that humans, omnivores, have angered God.

Dong Xianliang's "Yin and Yang Calamity", which has been carefully conceived for a long time and has influenced later generations for 2,000 years, finally came out and was publicly published in the "Prime Minister's Mansion Daily".

This will undoubtedly shake the entire Great Chu.

Publishing a new doctrine is not something that everyone is qualified to do.

Nobodies can't do this, they will be ridiculed to death.

This is the privilege of the Great Confucian, or the new generation of Great Confucianism, who is about to be promoted, is qualified to publish his own independent doctrine.

Obviously, after Dong Xianliang's victory in the Great Dynasty Battle, his status in the entire Confucian school was rising rapidly.

He seized the opportunity to promote his latest research, "Yin and Yang Calamity".

Confucianism was originally a science that specialized in the study of human ethics, and the sages of Confucius and Mencius did a very good job. Confucianism has little to do with Taoism, Moism, and other doctrines that tend to be biased towards natural science.

However, Dong Xianliang forcibly combined Confucianism with Yin-Yang and transformed it into "Yin-Yang Calamity", which was used to guide and interfere in everything in the entire society.

This also means that "Confucianism" is evolving to "Confucianism" by leaps and bounds!

Religion is one of the things that you love to do the most -- that is, if you believe in my sectarian doctrine, I will interfere with your "food, clothing, shelter, and transportation" everything, and even dominate national politics, you must follow my doctrine.

Confucianism was rapidly Confucianized.

If the Great Chu Emperor believed in Dong Xianliang's doctrine, Confucianism would use this set of "natural disaster warnings" doctrine to interfere in and guide the government.

...

Chu Tianxiu has been vigilant since he discovered that Dong Xianliang was very interested in yin and yang, and Dong Xianliang would come up with this strange theory.

Chu Tianxiu took the "Prime Minister's Mansion Newspaper", walked into the Hongmen Inn, and found a seat to sit down.

All the scholars were listening to Dong Xianliang's preaching, and no one noticed that he was coming.

In the inn, hundreds of Confucian scholars, and even some scholars, were all looking at Dong Xianliang in the middle of the crowd, listening to his latest doctrine.

"Let a man have faith, not be fearless!"

"People should fear the sky, the earth, and their ancestors!"

"Natural disasters are the wrath of Heaven and the transmission of Providence, which is a warning from Heaven about our crimes, and intimidates us to be in awe."

"When there is fear in the heart, there is fear in the heart, and our virtue will be converged! Otherwise, Heaven will punish him severely. ”

"The king is commanded by heaven, and the emperor and the people are to fear the warning of heaven. The people worship their ancestors and revere the dreams of their ancestors. Worshipping the heavens and ancestors is the top priority. ”

"Heaven warns, cultivate virtue to avoid disasters!"

"Before the kingdom is about to die due to misconduct, Heaven will first condemn and warn with natural disasters. If you don't reflect, you will be warned and feared by strange natural disasters or celestial phenomena. If you don't know how to change, the disaster that will really bring it down will come. ”

""Yin and Yang Calamity", this is the road for people to follow the will of heaven!"

Dong Xianliang excitedly preached his teachings.

"Good!"

"Great, this doctrine of Lord Dong has finally made the appearance of natural disasters clear. Natural disasters are everywhere, and we can only avoid disasters by cultivating virtue. Emperors, ministers, and the common people must all reflect on themselves! ”

All the Confucian scholars present were excited and applauded loudly.

Even Zu'er was amazed when he heard this, "Uncle, this Dong Xian is so good, natural disasters still have such a big effect... It is worthy of the second place in the Gengzi Hall test! However, my uncle must be more powerful than him, and my uncle is the first in the palace test. ”

Chu Tianxiu couldn't cry or laugh.

Of course, this set of doctrines is powerful, and it has influenced later emperors for 2,000 years.

The emperor regarded himself as the Son of Heaven, and until the Qing Dynasty, the emperor would quickly apologize for every natural disaster, scold himself for his lack of virtue, or let a minister be dismissed.

Isn't that amazing!

However, this set of Confucian teachings is extremely harmful.

Confucianism "explains" natural disasters clearly, so it pays very little attention to natural sciences, let alone studies them in depth.

In the next two thousand years, tens of thousands of people were busy studying the Confucian classics of ethical relations, and how many people went to study natural science?

In a popular saying in later generations, the entire Chinese civilization is desperately aiming at the "production relationship tree", but ignoring another productivity technology tree.

If Huaxia had divided half of its scholars into the crazy technology tree two thousand years ago, then there would be no other civilization on this planet.

After some generous words, Dong Xianliang finally saw that there was a little more faint in the crowd.

"Little Hou Ye, Dong just researched the "Yin and Yang Calamity" not long ago. What do you think? ”

Dong Xianliang asked politely.

He didn't care much about the opinions of other Confucian scholars.

He still attaches great importance to Xiao Duhou.

One of the super strong young generations of Da Chu, who invented the faint hou paper and the Di newspaper, has the broadest horizons and the most active thinking, and it is none other than the little faint marquis.

"This doctrine... That's awesome! I'll go back and digest it. ”

Chu Tianxiu pondered.

Seeing Dong Xianliang and the Confucian students, with a look of enthusiasm and expectation, what else could he say?

If he wants to say the word "no", I'm afraid that the bench of the inn will be thrown at him.

Heroes don't suffer immediate losses.

Holding an agreement signed by Dong Xianliang himself, he came back to clean him up. Dig a big pit and bury Dong Xianliang.

Chu Tianxiu stood up and prepared to leave.

Dong Xianliang couldn't help but feel a little regretful, he also hoped that Xiao Duhou was sunny and spicy, and could help him check and fill in the omissions, and further improve this "Yin and Yang Calamity".

However, I saw that Jinling City is not far from Changle Street, Xuanwu Street, in the direction of Xuanwu Temple.

A flash of thunder flashed in the sky, and it fell.

There was a loud "boom", and a flame of dozens of feet in the Xuanwu Temple rose to the sky.

Even if it was an isolated street, Hongmen Inn felt a violent vibration.

The doors and windows swayed, and everyone stood unsteadily.

Billowing smoke rose into the sky.

In the direction of the Xuanwu Temple, the flames soared into the sky, and there was a panicked noise.

The Confucian scholars were shocked and did not know what had happened.

Chu Tianxiu was stunned for a moment.

Something happened to the Xuanwu Temple?
