Zhao Dan glanced at his eldest son, a look of relief flashed in his eyes, and said, "What Heng'er said is exact, this is the wine pool of the King of Shang." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Yan and Zhao Yi were stunned when they heard this, and their two little faces were suddenly confused.

After a long while, Zhao Yi shouted: "Father is deceiving, this pool is clearly clear water, not a wine pool!" ”

Zhao Dan laughed, gently pinched his daughter's little face, and pointed to the rows of wooden shelves next to the wine pool and said, "Do you know what it is?" ”

It was still Zhao Heng who said: "Father, isn't this the meat forest?" ”

Zhao Dan nodded with a smile.

But Zhao Yi and Zhao Yan on the side were even more unhappy, and immediately shouted again: "Father, this is simply a fake wine pond meat forest!" ”

Zhao Dan said with a smile: "Then you and your father will tell you, what should the real Jiuchi Meat Forest look like?" ”

Zhao Yan said: "The real wine pool should be a big pool filled with countless fine wines!" ”

Zhao Yi also said: "The meat forest should be a big forest, and there is a lot of cooked meat hanging on each tree in it, so that the lackeys and concubines of the king of Shang can use it at will when they are in the midst of prostitution!" ”

Obviously, the two princesses are still quite attentive to their classes on weekdays.

Zhao Dan laughed out loud again.

After a long while, Zhao Dan put away his laughter, and asked his second son with a smile: "Yan'er, my father asks you, if this wine is poured into such a big pool, and people come and go, I don't know how many people's footprints and dirt are spilled into it, how dirty it must be, isn't King Shang afraid of getting sick after drinking?" And wine is a thing that is only mellow when it is stored in the cellar, so how can it be placed in the open air? ”

"This ......" Zhao Yan and Zhao Yi's eyes widened, not knowing what to say.

Zhao Dan continued: "Let's talk about this meat forest, you and the others know that when the meat comes out, it should be eaten hot, and it won't taste good when it's cold." And hanging on the branches is cold and without seasoning, who can eat such meat? What's more, there must be no shortage of mosquitoes in the woods, could it be that the king of Shang likes to eat cold meat that has been bitten by mosquitoes and hung on trees? ”

"......" Zhao Yan and Zhao Yi continued to look confused.

Zhao Dan finally retracted his gaze, pointed to the swimming pool and wooden stake in front of him, and said: "The so-called wine pool is actually the swimming pool used by the king of Shang to escape the summer. The so-called meat forest is actually nothing more than a number of wooden shelves used by the king of Shang to drink and feast in the open air and cook food for his ministers. This is the truth, the irrefutable truth. ”

After Zhao Dan finished saying this, he deliberately took a look at his children, and found that only his eldest son Zhao Heng had a thoughtful expression on his face, and the other faces were full of confused expressions.

This is also something that can't be helped, after all, these children of Zhao Dan are still young, and only one Zhao Heng is over sixteen years old in terms of age, and his way of thinking is the most mature and closest to adults.

So Zhao Dan said: "Heng'er, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Heng said: "Father, the son does have some ideas. ”

Zhao Dan said with a smile: "Let's talk about it for my father." ”

Zhao Heng thought for a while and said: "What does my father mean, could it be that it is absurd to say that the wine pond and meat forest of the King of Xuan is absurd, but in fact, someone is smearing the King of Zhou?" ”

The smile on Zhao Dan's face was even stronger, and he said, "Then who do you think is smearing the King of Xu?" ”

Zhao Heng hesitated for a long time before he said: "Since the legend of this Lutai and Jiuchi Meat Forest is said by Taigong, then it must be ......."

Zhao Dan nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, it is the founders of the Zhou Dynasty who really want to discredit the King of Zhou!" ”

As soon as Zhao Dan said this, a few young children were nothing, but the queen and the prince beside him changed color at the same time.

Queen Han Wan, who had been silent, couldn't help but say, "King, it's better to be cautious in this matter." ”

Zhao Dan understood what the queen meant, after all, the Zhou Dynasty had not completely perished, and Zhao was also one of the princes of the Zhou Dynasty.

Zhao Dan waved his hand and said to the queen: "The queen doesn't have to worry too much, what the widow says naturally has the intention of the widow." ”

After a pause, Zhao Dan turned his head to Zhao Heng's group of children again, and continued: "Heng'er, Yan'er, Yi'er, the reason why the widow brought you and others here today and told you these stories is to let you and others understand a truth - sometimes, the people people who people talk about may not be the real appearance of those people. ”

"Lutai is not as tall as a hundred zhang, and the population of the levy cannot be as high as a million, and the wine pond is not a pool poured out of wine, and the meat forest is not a forest with meat hanging everywhere."

"But the question is, why has such a ridiculous statement, which can be debunked by a single thought, been held up by us for hundreds or thousands of years?"

Zhao Heng couldn't help but say, "Since my father knows that this is all a lie, why don't you set things right?" ”

Zhao Dan laughed and said, "The reason is very simple, because the people who said these remarks are the great people who created the Zhou Dynasty!" How can anyone not believe the words of a great man? Although my father is a generation of overlords, his current status in the eyes of the people of the world is not as good as these great men! ”

Zhao Heng's young face was full of confusion, and he said, "Those great men are all extremely smart people, why did they make up such a clumsy lie?" ”

Zhao Dan said earnestly: "Heng'er, you can think of this, the widow is very pleased. Yes, why would the great men make up such lies? The reason is actually very simple, because they need such a lie to win people's hearts. ”

"Are the founders of our Zhou Dynasty really people who obey the mandate of heaven? No. They are just a group of Guanzhong barbarians who have seized the opportunity to successfully rebel. But in order to make the princes of the world submit, let the people of the world submit, and let the whole world return to their hearts, that's why they made up such a lie. ”

"To put it simply, which one is easier to win the hearts of the people than the two statements of 'King Wu of Zhou's ambitious rebellion succeeded' and 'King Wu of Shang was absurd and unreasonable, and King Wu of Zhou fought for the heavens'? Needless to say, you should know the answer, right? ”

"The will of the people is a very important thing, and only with the will of the people can there be justice, and only then can it be considered by historians to be the party that 'conforms to the will of heaven'. And the people are very, very easy to deceive, and it only takes a few clumsy lies that don't even stand up to scrutiny, and then it takes thousands of years to repeat them, and people will eventually believe them without thinking. ”

Zhao Dan slowly stretched out his hand, patted his eldest son's shoulder, and said, "This is the truth that the widow wants to tell you." ”

In fact, Zhao Dan himself knew about a Han dynasty that was blackened by later dynasties with clumsy lies.

The founding emperor of the Han dynasty was blackened into a shoehorn face by the later barbarians, and his descendants were either bastards who deceived their teachers and destroyed their ancestors, or they were second goods who were addicted to cultivation, or they were fools who only knew how to use eunuchs and indulge in beauty, or they were traitors who only knew how to cultivate, and then what carpenter emperor was there......

These lies were repeated many, many times, and then many, many, many guys believed it.

It is simply an incomparable miracle that a dynasty has produced so many faint monarchs and can still hold out for 276 years before being overthrown.

This is the power of lies.

There is no shortage of people in any era, that is, those guys who can only follow the clouds.

"Alright." Zhao Dan withdrew his hand and said to Han Wan on the side: "The queen hasn't been very happy these days, it must be because of Korean affairs, right?" The widow has ordered someone to summon Huayang Jun Feng Ting, and the widow will receive him tomorrow. ”

Han Wan paused for a moment, and then a joyful smile immediately appeared on the beautiful face that was originally a little sad, and he was deeply blessed to Zhao Dan: "Xiao Tong has thanked the king here." ”
