Chapter 34: Special Props Mencius
"His Royal Highness the King of the County, whether it is Shang Tang or Zhou Wu, they are all appointed to the sky, the history books have clouds, and the heavens can't bear the suffering of the world, so they descended the Ming Jun to be the son of heaven, the son of heaven, the son of heaven, the son of heaven, on behalf of the heavens to rule the world, and lead the people to do things that benefit the heavens to repay the heavens......... If not, the heavens will condemn the people to warn, so all the chaos in the world must be the chaos of the Son of Heaven, and the heavens will punish them, just like now, the king of Zhou favors the treacherous and evil, and the princes of all sides are numerous, and one of them will replace him one day! β
"This Sima mistake is really arrogant! That's what you can say! β
Liu Yuan shook his head secretly.
"Sima Cuo, then let me ask you, what is this heaven?"
Liu Yuetian suddenly asked.
"This .........!"
Sima was stunned.
What is Heaven in Heaven? He never thought about this, let alone him, and even the history books did not record it in detail.
"The Divine is naturally the Divine Spirit, the Supreme Creator who governs everything, and He created the world."
Sima Cuo said according to the description of the gods in the history books.
"Since God created the world and dominates everything, then everything on earth must be under his control, so why does he still let the so-called Son of Heaven rule the world? Why do you still let the Son of Heaven mess with the government? Why is there still chaos in the world? β
Liu Yuetian asked three questions in a row, and Sima Coo's mouth was stammered.
"This ...... This......... The world is so big, the heavens can't control it! β
"He created hundreds of millions of living beings in the world, and you say he can't control these tens of millions of people? Are you like you in heaven? β
Liu Yuetian was aggressive.
"You...... You...... So what do you say is heavenly? β
Sima Chou's face turned red and he shouted loudly.
"Let me tell you, God is the people of the world, the people are the people, the people are the precious, the world is the world of all people, your so-called son of heaven is not the son of God, but the son of all the people in the world, which of the kings of the past dynasties did not offend the people? Even if he has thousands of troops, he will still be defeated in front of the people of the world, do you know that what you are doing now is to offend the heavens, once you anger the people of the world, you will kill yourself.
Sima Cuo, this person who doesn't even know what the sky is dares to discuss history with me here, are you worthy? β
An earth-shattering roar made Sima Cuo and Liu Yuan stand on the spot.
"The host put forward the theory that the people are precious and the monarch is cheap, the politics are increased by five points, the merit value is increased by five thousand, and the shock effect on the target is automatically produced, Liu Yuan's loyalty to the host is increased by five points, and Sima Coo's loyalty to the host is increased by ten points, and the merit value is seven hundred and fifty.
The host obtains a special item, Mencius, a copy of the Confucian classic "Mencius" (incomplete), which can promote this theory and use it to increase prestige, and the item automatically increases the host's politics by five points.
To trigger a special prop board, it takes 10,000 merit points to open this board, is it open? β
The voice of the system sounded in Liu Yuetian's mind, and at the same time, Liu Yuetian had a lot of new knowledge out of thin air.
"What is this?"
Liu Yuetian comprehended this knowledge in an instant, and it turned out to be a person named Meng Ke, who advocated governing the country with virtue and letting the monarch treat the people well, and at the same time put forward many specific behaviors.
"Who is this Meng Ke?"
Liu Yuetian was a little puzzled.
In Liu Yuetian's view, this knowledge is still very flawed, because this Meng Ke still stands from the perspective of the monarch, but he has made great progress in today's troubled times, and if everyone abides by it, the world will not be in chaos.
Liu Yuetian didn't pay much attention to this so-called "Mencius" classic, this theory was still too backward for him, but it was like a rock for Liu Yuan and Sima Cuo.
Especially Sima Cuo, he is familiar with countless history books, and he has never even thought of this theory of putting the people as the sky, but now that he thinks about it carefully, all kinds of details in history are really incomparably consistent with Liu Yuetian's theory, but this theory is completely beyond Sima Cuo's cognition, so that his head can't turn for a while.
"The people are the sky, and the king is cheap...... The people are the sky, and the king is cheap......... This, this .........! β
Sima Coo muttered to himself.
After a long while, Sima Cuo stood up abruptly and bowed deeply to Liu Yuetian.
"Your Royal Highness Chitose, today's words made me Sima Coomao suddenly, you are right, the people of the world are the fundamental, without the support of the people, where can the king sit firmly in the world? β¦β¦β¦ I only now understand such a simple question, these more than 50 years have been in vain! β
Sima's face is like ashes, he has adhered to the way of the monarch for half his life, and the people are just as worthless as dust in front of him, and he can't help but break out in a cold sweat when he thinks of these past events.
"Liu Taishou, this food is not needed, if because of me, the people of Tianshui are in danger, then I will never give up."
"Lord Sima, how does King Qin explain there?"
Liu Yuan asked.
"Alas, don't get in the way, don't get in the way, you can take as much grain as you have now, and the rest will be in silver, and I will explain it to King Qin."
In fact, the King of Qin did not ask for all the grain to buy these 5,000 war horses, but Sima Cuo made his own decision in order to curry favor.
"Okay, okay, since Master Sima is like this, then I also accept your wishes."
Liu Yuan also did not want to offend the farmers in the city.
"What my mind! It was His Highness's words that made me repent, I really did a sin! Your Highness, please bow down to me again. β
The current Sima is wrong and Liu Yuetian is convinced.
"If you come, tell the sergeants to stop at once, and return half of all the grain that has been collected, so that they can survive this winter, and the price of the grain must be fair, so that the people will not suffer."
Liu Yuan's order was handed down, and the soldiers in the whole city were overjoyed, you must know that these sergeants, except for some powerful people, are mostly farmers, but they have military salaries as errands, which are much better than those who only live by growing grain.
Liu Hu was outside Liu Yuetian's residence, waiting for an order to rush in to grab food, but what he was waiting for was an order to retreat immediately.
"What? What's going on? β
Liu Hu was taken aback.
"Liu Hu, the heavenly guard has already passed down the order, it seems that His Royal Highness the King of the County has persuaded Lord Sima, you better go back!"
Shi Le smiled slightly, but he was also very surprised in his heart, that Sima Cuo was a well-known debater in the world, and this highness could actually persuade him? Incredible, incredible!
In his eyes, Liu Yuetian's reliance was improved again, and his loyalty also increased by two points accordingly.
"Hmph, Shi Le, you are very good, you dare to stand up against Taishou, it seems that you are looking for a county king to be a backer and think that you can fly Huang Tengda, it is really naΓ―ve, he himself is difficult to protect."
Liu Hu said fiercely.
"I, Shile, am thinking about the people of the whole city, and the same is true for Liu Taishou to give this order now."
"Okay, we'll see."
Liu Hu turned around and left with his subordinates.
