Chapter 361 Smashing the Witch Gu (3)
As soon as His Majesty was refreshed, he immediately became happy, and said to Zhang Yue: "Qing's words are good, I think it is true!" ”
In his heart, he snorted a few times, and thought proudly: "I should have known a long time ago, I am the son of heaven, the power of heaven and earth is added to my body, and the words are followed, and the immortals, gods and demons want to kneel down to greet me when they see me!" ”
It's just that there is still confusion in my heart.
So, he asked: "It's just that, according to Qingzhi, the ancient holy king has great power to add to his body, why has no one been able to ascend to immortal since the Yellow Emperor?" ”
Immortality and immortality are his unswerving pursuits in this life.
At least for now, his pursuit of immortality remains firm.
Zhang Yue listened, but sighed in his heart.
Every king is a man of extreme selfishness.
Especially the sons of heaven of the Han Ji Liu family.
This and his fathers and grandfathers today.
Back then, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen still had the story of 'poor night in the middle of the empty seat, not asking the common people to ask the ghosts and gods'.
His favorite Deng Tong can be called the first financial oligarch in history.
He and Liu Bi, the king of Wu, once jointly dominated the finance of the Han family, known as the world's coinage, and shared it with the king of Wu.
And the other emperor who created the rule of Wenjing, the first emperor Xiaojing Emperor, was more selfish than his father.
The whole world is in his hands, and it is just a chess piece.
There is no such thing!
For the sake of the world, he can even kill his son, and for the sake of the world, he can even use his brother and mother.
And these two kings worked together to create the most famous prosperous era in Chinese feudal history - the rule of Wenjing.
During their reign, the world was prosperous, and the people lived in good health, with few famines and disasters.
So much so that the country has the spare strength to be able to build a powerful Han cavalry cluster to expel the Xiongnu in today's battle!
Speaking of which, compared with his father and ancestors, this one is actually quite warm today.
At least this son of heaven has a personal relationship, and he will also miss it.
This is much easier to serve than his father and ancestors.
It's just that......
"If I do this, I can be regarded as ruining Dong Zhongshu's hard work for most of his life......" Zhang Yue sighed slightly in his heart, feeling a little sorry for the 'teacher' who had already hung up.
One of Dong Zhongshu's greatest achievements during his lifetime was to make the people of the world accept his theory of disaster and dissipation, which opened a precedent for deprecating politics.
In fact, his idea is not wrong.
At that time, the power of the Han monarch was neither restricted by the law nor restrained by anyone.
Theoretically speaking, the son of heaven of the Han family is supreme, and life and death are taken in one mind.
Do whatever you want.
In fact, this is also true.
Over the years, he has been repairing the palace room, fighting the Huns, and sealing the Zen and asking the immortals, and he has been extravagant.
Who can dissuade and who can restrain it?
Therefore, Dong Zhongshu tried his best to make a cage for the monarch to lock up.
Therefore, on the basis of the theory of celestial and human induction, the theory of disaster and anomaly was expounded.
According to Dong Zhongshu's explanation, the so-called 'things in heaven and earth have impermanent changes, which are different, and the small ones are called disasters, disasters often come first, and differences follow', and disasters are the warnings of heaven to the king, as the so-called 'the curse of heaven for disasters, and the power of heaven for others'.
If there is a disaster, the king must immediately reflect on himself, find the reason why God condemns him or even deters him, and change it.
For this reason, Dong Zhongshu once said earnestly to today's son: When heaven and man are in harmony, it is very terrifying! The country will have the defeat of the way, and the sky will first come out of the disaster to condemn it, do not know self-examination, and be afraid of it with strangeness, and do not know how to change, and the injury is even defeated!
In other words, if the king is still stubborn after the disaster and strangeness, then God will destroy his country and set up a new dynasty that can command the people and govern on behalf of the heavens.
Incidentally, Dong Zhongshu's Ram School was the only one of all the Confucian schools that openly preached that 'if the emperor fails to perform his duties, then his legitimacy will be lost'.
It's just a pity that this set of theories is useless.
The unlimited power of a king is not something that can be locked up in a cage.
And, even if it can be successful, the disadvantages far outweigh the benefits.
In the era when prophecy was prevalent, people were full of fear of various natural disasters and even did not dare to resist.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was a story that the people did not dare to hunt and kill locusts, but sacrificed and prayed to locusts.
This greatly hindered the progress of Zhuxia civilization and the development of social productive forces - the country's elite was busy studying feudal superstitions, who would care about government affairs?
So Zhang Yue knew that Dong Zhongshu's set must be abandoned.
It is necessary to change to a more positive set of things, methods that are more acceptable to the rulers.
Listening to the words of the Son of Heaven, Zhang Yue thought about it slightly, and replied: "Under the command of Taiyi, the five emperors and eight masters, all of whom are the first kings and ministers, have been sacrificed by blood and food, hanging in the heavens and the earth!" How could Your Majesty say that the Yellow Emperor is flying immortal? ”
When the Son of Heaven heard this, he was stunned.
He is a master of cultivating immortals, and he is naturally no stranger to the Five Emperors and Eight Masters.
But he hadn't thought about it before.
It wasn't until Zhang Yue reminded him that he suddenly realized.
That's right!
Taiyi (the incarnation of the Han Dynasty, the Supreme Emperor of Heaven) has five emperors under his command, and the eight masters shuttle through the past and the future.
Among them, the five emperors are all incarnates of the ancient kings.
And the eight lords (heaven, earth, yin, yang, sun, moon, four hours, and soldiers) are also former kings or ministers with names and surnames.
Following this line of thought, and then taking a closer look at the names and origins of the various gods that prevail today, the Son of Heaven was stunned to find that they were all the first kings, first kings, famous ministers or heroes among the ancestors in the history books!
For example, Du Bo, who Guanzhong believes, is the minister of King Xuan.
This is also the terrible thing about the primitive beliefs of the Zhuxia people.
Almost all gods are promoted after the death of meritorious people and mortals in the world.
If anyone is going to come to the Han family in this era to preach something - you are all guilty guys, nine times out of ten you will be beaten into slag by the local people, or even cut into parts!
I am a noble man from heaven, and I was born noble! How dare you curse my father? Go to hell! Spicy Chicken!
"In Qing's opinion, how can I be like the Five Emperors and Eight Masters?" The Son of Heaven was really uncontrollable at the moment, he felt that he was close to the truth.
"The minister is stupid, how can you know the true meaning of this?" Zhang Yue bowed his head and bowed, he knew very well that some words would be boring.
Only the things that the brain makes up can be convincing.
And his words have come to this, this majesty's brain hole ability is enough for him to make up the 'truth' in his brain.
Sure enough, the Son of Heaven listened with great energy, and his brain instantly opened, some of the things that Dong Zhongshu had said to him, as well as those words that Li Shaojun and Shenjun occasionally revealed when they were there.
These things were instantly connected by him.
"In other words, as long as I can achieve the same feats as the Three Kings and Five Emperors, I can also live with heaven and earth, the sun and the moon like the Three Kings and Five Emperors?"
