Chapter 719: Don't believe in the Mandate of Heaven
Wang Guorui defined the Manchu Qing as an aggressor, and naturally could not accept the Manchu Zen concession and accept the Manchu legal system. So the next thing that made many people feel a headache, because Wang Guorui was unwilling to accept this Manchu legal system, so the next thing really made them feel very waxy. Because according to the convention, it has always been to be made by the previous dynasty, which has always been China's "unique culture", and all new dynasties must accept a Zen concession, which represents the "mandate of heaven". But now Wang Guorui is unwilling to accept the legal system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so where to find a legal system that can be inherited at this time? If we don't find a legal system from it, then how can a new dynasty be established in such a kingdom?
"Lord Wang, this is really troublesome, now where do we go to find a legal system? Could it be that he was looking for the legal system of the Ming Dynasty back then? "Looking for the Dharma system of the Ming Dynasty, but where should I look for it at this time?" "Where are we going to find Zhu Ming's descendants at this time? What's more, Zhu Ming's descendants can also give up this legal system on behalf of Zhu Ming? "Yes! Even if you want to give up the legal system, it is not something that any descendant of Zhu Ming can casually announce that he will give up, he must be a descendant of Zhu Ming! "But where is Zhu Ming's descendant, we can't find it at all!" β¦β¦
The scene has reached a stalemate here, because the impasse here is simply very complicated, Wang Guorui does not accept the legal system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so he naturally has to take advantage of the situation to find the so-called Zhu Ming's legal system. But how could Zhu Ming's legal system be found at this time? Even if a descendant of the Zhu Ming royal family is found, it does not mean that it can represent that the entire Zhu Ming Dynasty has given up this legal system. Just like the West, even the West cannot think that any person with royal blood can give up the throne on behalf of the royal family. Even if you want to give up, it will be inherited by the lineage, so you can barely have a little qualification. But now, let's not say that the descendants of the Zhu Ming Dynasty can't be found at all, so where can I find a so-called Zen Rang system?
This makes everyone sit on wax very much. This Zen play did not follow the previously agreed script at all. Previously, Wang Guorui asked the Manchu Qing to write an abdication edict, which made everyone think that they were going to abdicate and accept the Zen concession. But the script didn't play like this, but went in the other direction, which is the most blood-vomiting result. Now everyone's adaptability is simply not enough to deal with this situation, and the scripts that have been prepared a lot before are also available. Even all sorts of contingencies are prepared.
In order to perform this Zen drama well, all kinds of preparations have been made. There are even preparations to prevent those Manchu nobles from coming out to "make trouble", and the guard troops are ready at any time, if there are Manchu nobles who want to "make trouble", then they can be suppressed immediately. Even the entire capital has been under martial law, except for those "extras" who have undergone some screening, everyone else has been ordered to stay at home, not to go out and walk around casually, and if they go around, they will be arrested. In the worst case, he may be tortured.
But now the script is completely wrong, the current script is completely Wang Guorui, the "leading actor", directly making trouble in the process of "acting" in a live broadcast, and directly not acting according to the script. This makes everyone feel very waxy, you must know that this is a "live broadcast", but there is no ability to PS and edit afterwards, and now the starring actor is not acting according to the script, so those actors who are supporting roles must think carefully about how to keep up? A script starring is not acting according to the script. But it is a state of live broadcasting, so as a supporting role, it is naturally obligated to make this play as round as possible.
But now they find that it is not so easy to make a comeback. Because the most important "prop" is not ready, in this process of acting, this prop does not even have a shadow, which makes everyone feel waxed. So at this time, everyone had a cold scene, and there was a huge cold scene in the whole script, and everyone didn't know how to follow Wang Guorui to round this play.
So. No one dares to speak out now, because the most important thing at the moment is to respond to all changes with the same. They don't know what Wang Guorui is doing, but they have to wait for Wang Guorui to come up with more "clues" before they can continue to act!
"It is believed that every king ascends to the throne. Do you have to accept Zen concessions? Wang Guorui asked.
When everyone heard this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they were not afraid of Wang Guorui talking, they were afraid that Wang Guorui would not speak. If Wang Guorui doesn't speak, it will really be "unpredictable", and once he answers wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable. Wang Guorui is willing to speak, which means that he can see the move.
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, all Zen concessions have been inherited from the Mandate of Heaven, representing the transfer of the Mandate of Heaven. If you don't accept Zen, it means that Heaven's will is not there, and then you are not the true Son of Heaven. Anything that is orthodox must accept the Zen concession, otherwise it is not the destiny of heaven. If you don't accept Chan Rang, then you call yourself the emperor in vain, and you must not have the mandate of heaven. A white-bearded man asked.
Wang Guorui asked rhetorically: "That's not the mandate of heaven, so what?" β
"If you don't have the mandate of heaven, it will inevitably be short-lived, and the country will eventually die!" The white-bearded old man said.
Wang Guorui laughed and said, "You said that you must get the Mandate of Heaven? Did Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, get the mandate of heaven back then? At that time, Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, before launching the Xuanwumen Rebellion, once hoped to judge the good and evil through divination. However, Zhang Gongjin directly smashed the divination equipment, saying that divination is used to solve difficult things, and it is not difficult to launch the Xuanwumen Change. Could it be that the divination result is unlucky, so in the end, is it necessary to launch the Xuanwumen Change? Then you say, did Li Shimin get the mandate of heaven? If he had received his destiny, what proof would that be? You must know that he is a person who persecuted and brutalized his brother and forced his father to abdicate, so it is impossible for him to obtain the mandate of heaven, right? Would God give such a person a mandate? But if he didn't get the mandate of heaven, then why did Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, create the rule of Zhenguan, and the Tang Dynasty has more than 200 years of national fortune? How is this explained? β
This great Confucian suddenly sat on the wax, because this Tang Taizong Li Shimin has always been difficult to evaluate the merits and demerits. Because Li Shimin was the one who staged a coup d'Γ©tat, killed his brother, and then forced his father to abdicate, according to Confucian principles, such a person would never have obtained the mandate of heaven under any circumstances. According to what Confucianism has always propagated, this kind of unkind and righteous person will inevitably have a long history of national fortune.
However, Tang Taizong created the rule of Zhenguan and extended the country for so long, how can this be explained? In this way, everyone does not know how to explain it, so this so-called Mandate of Heaven is just a loophole. And they can't explain the reason of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, so they can't explain Li Shimin since ancient times, and they can't use the so-called Mandate of Heaven as an explanation. Because Li Shimin is not a believer in the Mandate of Heaven, judging from historical records. Before the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin was very miserable, his military power was basically deprived, and then the strategists around him were transferred away one by one. And he launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion as a last stand, which shows that he is not a person who accepts his fate. If it were an ordinary person, maybe under the support of his father and the suppression of his brother, he would accept his fate. But as a generation of heroes, how can he accept his fate?
"The so-called Mandate of Heaven is just a broken thing that deceives the world, deceiving the world and stealing fame! Since ancient times, the so-called Mandate of Heaven has been nothing but self-deception and deception of those who are ignorant. It's nothing more than those emperors in the past, in order to prevent the people from rebelling, so they constantly fooled the people. There is no destiny in this world, only one's own efforts. Only by relying on one's own efforts can one lay one's own foundation, lay one's own career, and create a great cause. And the so-called destiny is nothing but self-deception. I, Wang Guorui, don't disdain to do such self-deceptive things! Didn't Wang Anshi also say it? The mandate of heaven is not enough to fear, the words of people are not enough to fear, and the ancestors are not enough to be afraid. So what is there to fear from Destiny? β
Those corrupt Confucians couldn't help but secretly complain, this kingdom Rui actually showed the methods of those kings in the past history who used the so-called Mandate of Heaven to return to foolish people, and he directly belittled those so-called claims of the Mandate of Heaven to worthlessness. And isn't this digging a hole for yourself? You must know that the emperors since ancient times have not always tried their best to sanctify themselves and their families, and then tried to fool the ordinary people, making them think that this family is destined to rule the country, and no one can stop them.
But Wang Guorui, the quasi-emperor, actually directly belittled this so-called mandate of heaven as worthless, and so unceremoniously directly said that the mandate of heaven was not worth mentioning, and so "insulted" to heaven. This makes those great Confucians also complain, and this kind of thing is just understood in their hearts, so why do you need to say it so openly? said it so openly, didn't that mean "belittled" his throne? If Wang Guorui becomes the emperor at that time, he will no longer be a person who relies on the "Mandate of Heaven" to become the emperor, but relies on his own efforts to obtain it.
And if the people of the world see that they can become emperors through their own "efforts", then wouldn't many people have this ambition? So many people also feel scared and don't know how to keep up with Wang Guorui's rhythm.
"I want to be the emperor, and I definitely don't need the so-called mandate of heaven to help!" Wang Guorui said. (To be continued.) )
