"If it weren't for Mr. Xie Su, I'm afraid Hezhong would have fallen apart long ago."

Zhang Caiwei explained the reason to Li Ruoxue, patting her breasts a little exaggeratedly, as if she had palpitations.

This is why Chen Zhong insisted that Zhang Caiwei send these two Confucian 'gate' classics, ostensibly to Lin Jingwan, but in fact it was an attitude to Li Sihai. The Xia court will not interfere in Bai Yi's internal affairs in the future, but if Li Sihaifu's 'woman' can believe in the doctrine of destiny and morality, and even pass it on in the royal family, it will undoubtedly gain more favor from the Xia state. For the Li royal family, who borrowed the corpse to resurrect the soul, the Mandate of Heaven theory is also more conducive to getting rid of the coercion of the elders of the sect.

In front of Li Ruoxue, Zhang Caiwei had no intention of hiding the intentions of the Xia royal family.

The Mandate of Heaven theory was an important means for the Xia court to restrict the major sects. On the contrary, after the conquest of Hezhong, the biggest problem faced by the Xia court was the spread of various religions among the migrating Han people. The propagation of the various religions is beyond the national race, and it is a thorn in the eyes of the Xia court.

"The art of war says that the siege is the bottom, and the attack is the top. If the hearts of the people are conquered, even if the city is intact, it will be considered defeated without a fight. ”

Therefore, the five governments of the imperial court were extremely vigilant against the 'sect', and the royal family and the protectorate government tabooed the princes and magnates or high-ranking officials of the imperial court to 'superstitious' believe in the pope, so that they were separated from the imperial court. As long as the powerful show the slightest hint of 'superstition', the Protectorate will launch an impeachment, and if they do not repent, they will be deprived of their titles and removed from their posts. Important figures such as Chen Chong and Li Sihai were mostly taught by famous Confucian teachers to know the destiny of heaven from an early age. And Zhang Caiwei, as a candidate for the crown princess, has received the same education since she was a child. usually talks about poetry and poetry and Confucian scriptures, Li Ruoxue has always said a lot, and Zhang Caiwei has heard a lot. But when it comes to the orthodoxy between the Mandate of Heaven and the 'gates' of various sects, the situation is reversed, Zhang Caiwei talks eloquently, while Li Ruoxue listens patiently. She was born in the eastern part of the country, and although she lived in Dunhuang for many years, she was separated from the fierce struggle between the various sects in Hezhong and the Western Regions.

"There is no god in the eyes, and I see the destiny of heaven. This sentence made the Inquisition eager to imprison Mr. Xie Su in the stone tower. ”

"Therefore, Manifest Destiny is also called atheism." Zhang Caiwei pursed her lips and smiled: "The Mandate of Heaven preached by Mr. Xie Su adheres to the master's purpose of 'saying but not doing', and he only compiles a collection of famous Confucian treatises, and there are no classics like the major sects, although it is not-for-tat with them, but it makes them speechless." "She was born in Weiyuan Fort, and before she was established as a candidate for the crown princess, the Duke of Chu raised her with several brothers, and the civil and military courses were the same. Weiyuan Fort is a place where Hu and Han people live together, and teaching and learning the doctrine of the Mandate of Heaven in the Guogong Mansion is the top priority. Therefore, Zhang Caiwei usually seems to be quiet and silent, but in fact she is not interested in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Li Ruoxue was half curious, half unbearable, so she listened patiently, and secretly compared the doctrine of destiny with moral debate in her heart.

"There is a public case in the Great Food Sect, called the story of the prophet and the mountain, the prophet once gathered his disciples and said, I will let this mountain come to me! So the prophet closed his eyes and concentrated on it, acting like a divine power. The disciples all drew their necks, waiting to see the boundless mana of the sect master. However, the mountain finally did not come, and as the sun approached the western mountain, the prophet suddenly opened his eyes and said: "The mountain will not come, but I will pass!" Then he led his disciples to climb to the top of the mountain. "Song Zen Buddhism is also popular in the public case, but the Zen master in the public case is often unfathomable, and this prophet

Li Ruoxue opened her mouth slightly in surprise, I don't know what this public case means? Is it true that people should not have attachments? Still is

She looked at Zhang Caiwei, and Zhang Caiwei smiled slightly as if she was moving: "Mr. Xie Su said, isn't this 'destiny is hard to disobey'?"

"The way of heaven is constant, and prophets and sages are no exception." She became interested and continued, "Just because the Great Dao is invisible, it will definitely not be a concrete image such as a diagram or a strange force 'chaotic' god. She pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Once the priest of Lu Mei said in Kangju that God is omniscient and omnipotent and created the whole world, Mr. Xie Su stood up and asked, can God create a stone that he can't lift himself?" The priest of Lumei Kingdom was stammering and red-faced, and he was eager to tie up his husband and burn him at the stake. ”

Zhang Caiwei kicked her eyes and puffed out her cheeks, as if imitating the angry Lumei priest.

Li Ruoxue looked at the crown princess in surprise, as if she had just discovered that there was another side to her solemn and self-contained appearance.

"Mr. Xie Su later said that Lu Mei and other sect 'gates' have embodied the Mandate of Heaven as a god, which is really a cocoon, and will be restrained everywhere in the debate. Summer insects can't be spoken, no matter how the insects on the ground imagine it, how can they imagine nine days away? As the saying goes, as soon as mortals think, the gods laugh, and nothing more. Because of this, the Zhou people worship ghosts and gods and stay away, and they don't say anything about the strange power of 'chaos' gods. Take the paradox of God lifting the stone, we only talk about the Mandate of Heaven, what is above the Mandate of Heaven? No one said. Even if there is a god, will he be like a mortal? Will he lift stones like mortals? The mandate of heaven cannot be violated, but it doesn't mean that God is so omnipotent and mortal makes up the image of God according to the imagination of mortals, it is simply that the farmers in the mountains and fields are as ignorant as imagining the emperor of the Forbidden Palace holding a golden hoe to farm the land, no one cares about it, but it is okay, once he cares about it, he doesn't know what to do. ”

"Summer insects can't speak ice," Li Ruoxue chewed on this sentence thoughtfully.

"It's the summer worm that can't be spoken, you and I think the summer worm is how, I don't know that you and I are not a summer worm in the infinite universe."

"Xia Worm blindly imagines and fabricates things that are beyond the scope of knowing, and spreads falsehoods, but it has become an obstacle to knowledge."

"It's better to be honest and calm down, and do your best under the destiny that can be guessed and verified. This is as Mr. Xie Su said, there is no god in his eyes, and he sees his destiny. This truth was known to people in ancient China, so Fu Xi made gossip and King Wen of Zhou performed easy counting, both of which did not seek ghosts and gods, but only calculated the number of days. Decades ago, after Mr. Xie Su restated the doctrine of Mandate of Heaven, what exactly is 'Mandate of Heaven'? How do you know the 'Mandate of Heaven'? Whether it is the classics of the predecessors, or Mr. Xie Su, or the later Confucian masters, there have always been different opinions, and there is no consensus. However, the most outstanding' elaboration in recent years was made by Mr. Zhao. ”

Li Ruoxue was in a trance when she heard her mention Zhao Xingde, and she was stunned.

Zhang Caiwei's opinion on the "Mandate of Heaven" really impressed Li Ruoxue.

Zhang Caiwei's knowledge is not only almost impossible to find in the Kanto region, but also extremely rare in the Xia Kingdom. Li Ruoxue nodded secretly, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed that she hadn't noticed the talent of this best friend before. If she was not confined to the identity of the crown princess, but an ordinary 'girl', I am afraid that she would have been famous in Luoyang a long time ago. In the past few days, especially before the battle of Guangzhou, it was rumored that Zhao Xingde was detained in the city of Guangzhou, the big food and sea robbers attacked the city, the dragon was trapped in the shallows, the soldiers were separated, and it was likely that the "jade" stone was burned, Li Ruoxue's worry overwhelmed the grievances, after this heart "door" was opened, the thoughts were as unstoppable as a flood, although he still hated him and did not sue him for marrying, but always hoped that he could explain clearly in person. She didn't have much interest in the scriptures, she was in a trance just now, and almost every day, she was in a daze for Zhao Xingde. Zhang Caiwei suddenly turned the topic to Zhao Xingde, Li Ruoxue thought she had seen something, and she was suddenly a little embarrassed.

Zhang Caiwei immediately noticed this, and since these days, Chen Chong has also asked her to persuade Li Ruoxue that if Zhao Xingde returns to Luoyang after the war with the Roma Turks, he has the intention of rebuilding the old good, and it is best to accept it magnanimously, so as not to make the two of them sad in the future. Some time ago, Li Ruoxue's tone had been very tight, and Zhang Caiwei herself was not angry, so she didn't care too much about persuasion. Now that Hezhong has started a war with the Roma Turks, and Zhao Xingde's sailors have also set off from Guangzhou, maybe when the war will end, therefore, seeing Li Ruoxue's somewhat relaxed demeanor, Zhang Caiwei immediately deliberately turned the topic back to Zhao Xingde.

"My sister has lived in Kanto for a long time, and she has always been the dominant Confucian 'door', and the 'door' of all religions is declining, so I am afraid that I don't feel deeply about the dispute between this sect 'gate'. In our river, people are born immersed in the controversy of various doctrines and mysteries, Zoroastrianism and the Great Food Sect, the Lumei State Religion and the Zoroastrian Religion, the Great Food Religion and the Lumei State Religion, and the Buddhist 'Gate' and the Great Food Religion, all thanks to the Mandate of Heaven to unify people's hearts, I Chinese only believe in the Mandate of Heaven. However, the explanation of this destiny is too vague and ethereal, which is really a headache. As soon as General Zhao's moral argument came out, it was copied into the river, and it suddenly made people feel like a treasure, as if shrouded in the word "Mandate of Heaven" and a heavy fog, which was blown away by this gust of wind, and the road was also revealed, although I don't know where the road eventually leads, but the road in front of me is clear, and it is no longer 'mixed' with those ethereal sayings. If Mr. Zhao was not a general with a heavy army, the Bachelor's Mansion would almost want to invite him into the mansion to concentrate on governing the Mandate of Heaven and the theory of morality, and completely open up the context of the two. ”

Zhang Caiwei held Li Ruoxue's hand and spoke, but Li Ruoxue was silent, her face changed, and she didn't know what she was thinking

Yuntun Port in Annan is the first port to dock after the Southwest Sea Division departed from Guangzhou.

Yuntun Port is also one of the only two cities in the Southwest Sea that Xia Kingdom has sent troops to defend. There were 2,500 Shu soldiers stationed in Yuntun Port, and another 10,000 Dali regiments were trained in the army. Although it has occupied this place for several years, the sea power of Xia and Shu is very small, except for the Yuntun military city, the ship yard built by the royal family, and the iron yard, the other buildings are very simple. In the eyes of Guangzhou merchants, the shops outside Yuntun City are simply grass market stalls, and the berths in Yuntun Port are pitiful, and they cannot accommodate all the Southwest Sea Divisions and the huge merchant fleet to berth in the port. Zhao Xingde could only ask the Yuntun garrison to send a pilot to let the fleet anchor at anchor in the offshore sea where it could shelter from the wind.
