Chapter 31: The Cloak of Demons and Gods
The street that extends from the north gate of the palace to the north is Lin'an and the most prosperous area of the Great Song Dynasty, known as the Royal Street, and its southern section is the government office area, and the middle section is the central business district. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the past, the interruption of the royal street was already very lively, but today it is surrounded by a flood, and the reason is that it is an emperor list. As mentioned above, as long as someone can separate the two iron hemispheres, the emperor will reward him.
The location is in front of the best restaurant in Lin'an, Golden Scale Building.
Zhao Zheng first asked people to open the valve on the iron ball, let the air flow in, separate the iron ball, and then let the people reinterpret it again, and he explained it on the stage to promote his new Taoism to the people.
"Who's that man?"
The crowd in the audience was discussing, who was that teenager? It looks young, but the language is concise and unafraid.
"I heard that it is the little fairy who brought fairy melons and fairy beans. Did you know? I heard that hundreds of acres of fairy melons and beans have been planted in Guangdong, and I heard that one mu can produce hundreds of thousands of catties of grain. ”
Folk rumors spread quickly, but they are often distorted in the process of propagation, and some of their own delusions are artificially added in the process of propagation.
"I heard that he is a disciple of Zhang Tianshi, sent to the mortal world to save the people?"
"Nonsense, how did I hear that he was a disciple of Xu Zhenren and taught him all kinds of Taoism in his dreams."
Zhao Zheng heard the discussion of these people on the stage, and he didn't feel bitterly smiling, if he wanted to take off the coat of ghosts and gods of the new Taoism, he had a long way to go.
The iron ball is filled with water and then pumped, and the whole process is clear at a glance. But the strange thing is that those who are eager to try to come to power cannot be opened no matter how hard they try.
Zhao Zheng then announced that the reward could be divided equally, and multiple people could come together. So the people below formed their own teams, in groups of three or two. But all of them ended in failure, and the team was no more than 12 people at most. How could it be opened, so some people below began to discuss that it was Zhao Zheng's Taoism.
Seeing this, Zhao Zheng drew people from the people below and asked him to open the valve, and then the iron ball was easily opened. Immediately, Zhao Zheng will announce that the reward will be increased by 100 percent, and the people below will be more enthusiastic.
Although this emperor list was carried out in the name of the emperor, the money was paid by Zhao Zheng out of his own pocket.
As time went by, more and more people gathered in the Golden Scale Building, and the traffic was already jammed, so Zhao Zheng didn't want to be impeached by those imperial histories, so he gave a hint that those people had better form a team of more than 100 people to pull the iron ball away.
It wasn't until the end that a full hundred and twenty people opened the iron ball. The people and those officials who sat upstairs and watched were convinced of the existence of atmospheric pressure, and then Zhao Zheng took out a small iron ball made by the ordnance supervisor overnight to experiment, and the result was that only fifty people could pull it away.
Zhao Zheng took advantage of the fire to strike iron: "Now we know that there is a gas in the air, I call it air, and this gas will put pressure on all objects, from this iron ball experiment we can see that the larger the object, the greater the air pressure." So Zhao Zheng asked everyone, according to this explanation, do two objects of different sizes fall first with a heavy weight, or land first with a clear one? ”
"Of course it's the heavy one that lands first, Taishan and Hongmao, you said which one landed first?" The public seems to be dismissive of this matter of common sense.
"Okay, here, Zhao Zheng will do another experiment to see if it is as heavy as everyone said. Please find two bricks, one large and one small, and a piece of cloth. I paid all the money to buy. ”
"I have, I have!" Within a quarter of an hour, bricks and cloth were being offered.
"Look, is this big brick and this cloth heavier than this small brick?"
"Of course, that's still going to be said!"
Zhao Zheng asked people to make the cloth look like a parachute and tie it with a rope, and Zhao Zheng didn't interfere in the whole process.
"Okay, next, Zhao Zheng asked a strong man below to go upstairs and put down these two things at the same time. Elect one of you. Zhao Zheng has always made money"
Then there was a noise, among which five people had the loudest voices, and Zhao Zheng, in order to avoid anyone saying that he had a trust, asked the five of them to draw their fists and win the one up.
However, something strange happened, the heavy brick slowed down a beat in the air, and finally slowly came down.
How can it be! The light one lands first.
The people were boiling, and so were the officials in the building.
Zhao Yun was also puzzled at this time, he decided to verify it himself after today, and the life in the palace also made him feel slightly bored, and Zhao Zheng's doctrine undoubtedly aroused his great interest.
"Think about it, why is this happening? The copper ball and the bricks have proved one thing to you, the existence of atmospheric pressure. Everything lives in this space, and all directions are squeezed by atmospheric pressure, so that a balance is formed so that we are not crushed by this atmosphere. And we can infer that the larger the surface of the object, the greater the atmospheric pressure, which is why this is the case. ”
The people suddenly realized at this time that what Zhao Zheng said was difficult to understand at all.
At the same time, Zhao Yun also added to the fire, and asked Ma Defang to read the holy decree in public, and the two governments let Zhao Zheng and Huang Daochang enter Beijing this time in order to reward sweet potatoes, potatoes, kelp, etc.
However, Zhao Yun's holy decree did not inform the two governments in advance, and directly issued the decree.
Huang Daochang was not at the scene, and the two governments and Zhao Yun also understood that Huang Daochang might be afraid of heaven's punishment, so he directly read the holy decree to him.
Feng Zodiac is a three-day Hongde Youmin real person. Zhao Zheng was stunned when he heard this reward, this real person is not something that can be given casually, the real person in Taoist allusions is the meaning of becoming an immortal. On behalf of the imperial court, it is recognized the identity of the zodiac chief immortal, and he can openly open the altar to preach. A title is generally given to the dead, and it is used for chasing the seal, after all, the influence of this living immortal is too great, and it will affect the imperial power.
But this thing is not unusual, there are many people who were named real people when they were alive, for example, the emperor Zhao Yun in front of him has done it several times in history, and the Taoist priest who opened the altar to cast spells and ask for rain can be named a real person by him, and the most famous and nonsensical one is to seal the Guangdong Taoist Wu Ganghou as the true monarch, which is a first-level title than the real person, and the founder of Taoism, Zhang Daoling, has only reached this level. And what earth-shattering things has this Wu Zhenjun done?
It is said that the pirates of the South Seas harassed the coast, and the people were miserable, so Song Lizong sent troops to crusade, but who knew that those pirates would be able to use the sword, call for wind and rain, make waves, and destroy the warships of the imperial court. Then reported to the court at this time, Song Lizong wanted to recruit him into the super reward, who knew that this person went to sea to travel, Song Lizong searched for it without success, so he named Wu Ganghou as the Emperor of Lingzhaowei Xianyou Realm An Min Zhenjun.
It can be seen that this Zhao Yun not only advocates Taoism, but also is easy to fool.
Huang Daochang was named a real person, but Zhao Zheng was not happy, because he now wanted to try to break off the theory of ghosts and gods, but he didn't want his Taoism to be like those Dao in the eyes of the emperor and everyone. It's no wonder that Zhao Zheng's predecessors and successors have preached that the zodiac chief can get a glimpse of the heavens, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for Zhao Zheng to get rid of this statement in the future. But now that it is recognized by the emperor and the government, it is an excellent thing, and Zhao Zheng's new Taoism is also careful not to directly collide with Confucianism.
Dalang Huang Yunshan was named Miaoshan Lingtong, and he rode from the five grades to the captain.
Erlang Huang Daofeng was named Conggong Lingtong and Captain from Wupin.
Zhao Zheng was titled, Jinmen Yuke, Dahui Xiansheng Protector Heavenly Master, and the Shangzhu State of the Second Grade. and other gold and silver goods. Zhao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he was not named a real person, otherwise he would not be able to compound the logic of his Taoism, then he would be covered with a veil of gods and Buddhas.
After accepting the reward, Zhao Zheng then announced to the people that he would open a lecture here tomorrow to preach the Tao.
