Hubu Xiang Priest Lang Zhong Duan Tong Guò Shangshu Ling Xun You, asked to meet Cao Cao, pointing out that there was a solar eclipse last winter, and after his calculations, there will be an eclipse this winter, this is a celestial warning also, I hope Cao Cao will be vigilant about this.

Yeshun certainly scoffed at this. Even if he is no longer as repulsive to the supernatural as he was originally because he has personally experienced time and space travel, and thinks that they only appear in literary and artistic works, he still thinks that the "heaven and man induction" proposed by Dong Zhongshu Zhiru is still a fart. Perhaps other ministers are still pondering, what does last year's solar eclipse mean? Which personnel do you correspond to? Shi Xun skipped this step directly and began to ponder the true meaning behind Duan Fang's heart rather than the celestial phenomenon.

What kind of change does he want to express when he suddenly brings up the matter of the solar eclipse today, and what kind of goal does he want to achieve?

First of all, Duan Fang is Chen Qun's protégé, and it is likely that Chen Changwen is behind him, and even if he doesn't, his own political concept is unlikely to be too far away from Chen Qun. To put it bluntly, since Chen Qun is a hardcore pro-Cao faction, Duan Sique will never be able to open his eyes for the Han family and take advantage of the solar eclipse to find fault with Cao Cao. Secondly, considering that Cao Cao was a powerful monarch, and his academic philosophy tended to be of the ancient literary school, and he did not believe in the theory of "celestial and human induction", then as a supporter of him, if it was just an ordinary admonition, it was not necessary to put forward it through some celestial warning—it was simply an attempt to use the will of heaven to force Cao Cao, which might have the opposite effect.

Therefore, there are only two possibilities for what Duan Bin wants to say today. One is to use the celestial phenomena to warn that there will be great changes in the world. What's the big change? Eight achievements refer to the change of dynasty. I want to take the opportunity to push Cao Cao to usurp the Han. Second. It is to ask Cao Cao to change the suppression of the family and the support of the Hanmen clan due to his own influence. As well as attaching importance to industrial and commercial policies, to put it bluntly, I hope to guide the policy in an all-round direction that is beneficial to the world.

As for the former possibility, Shi Xun believes that the time is not yet ripe, and it is too early to usurp the Han at this time, which may cause quite a very strict uncertainty sequelae. For the latter possibility, of course, Xun couldn't bear it, so he had to jump out and refute Duan Fang. First of all, block the words that the other party is going to explain.

So he straightened his waist and said loudly: "What Sique said, how absurd! ”

Duan Fang turned his head slightly, glanced at Shi Xun, and said in a deep voice: "Tasting and hearing is to make you understand astronomy, geography, and study scriptures, which is beyond the reach of the world." That's why I still have to ask for advice - what are the flaws? ”

Of course, Shixun can't say that celestial phenomena are not enough for training, and "celestial and human induction" is nonsense. Although the Guwen faction opposed Yu Wei, they did not dare to completely deny Dong Zhongshu's theory. "Heaven and man induction" is the basic theory created by Han Confucianism in order to coax the authority of secular monarchs. It is the same principle as the "divine right of the king", if the ancient literary school defeats this theory with a stick, is it possible to have a future? I'm sure I'm going to be cleaned up as a heresy.

Of course, Shi Xun recently commented on the scriptures and gave lectures, which also contained a lot of simple materialist ideas against superstition, but things cannot be extreme, and they must change. He can say that the rumors are all nonsense, and the Weishu is full of nonsense, which is a reaction to Confucian Confucianism, but he still does not dare to deny the "will of heaven". In these years, from Shilin to the common people, they generally believe in that set, and it must be a fantasy to suddenly produce a saint to completely reverse it. If you talk about the movement of the stars and the local disasters, you can still mix a few sentences, which shows that this has nothing to do with the will of heaven, but the sun, the moon and the sky, even if there is a slight variation, people believe that it is the will of God, and it is inconvenient for him to completely deny it.

Yes Xun is very depressed, in the previous life, he often read time travel novels, and often the protagonist went back to the past, using the superstitious thoughts of the people at that time, predicting celestial phenomena, so as to smear the divine brilliance for himself and complete the grand cause - you said that they are not professional in astronomy, even if they are familiar with history books, can they still keep in mind every celestial mutation? Why can't I make it?

Duan Fang said: "There is food in September of the sixth year of Jian'an...... In the spring and February of the seventh year, Ding Maoshuo ate ...... again, "Theoretically, it was all experienced by Xun, but he didn't care about it at all, let alone those astronomical phenomena that were only recorded in the history books and would not be remembered by ordinary people reading history." In my previous life, I memorized chronology, biographies, and even maps, and geographies, so how could I have thought that astronomical chronicles would be so useful?

So he couldn't talk to Duan Fang about this, so he had to find a loophole in the other party's language: "According to Sique, this year in October, there should be food, but right?" ”

Duan Fang nodded and said yes, according to my calculations, it is true.

Shi Xun smiled slightly: "If there is an eclipse of the sun, it is also a heavenly policeman, then if the sky responds to the people, the sky will have nothing to say." If the heavens change, and the heavens change, then the solar eclipse can be measured? "You said that the solar eclipse in October last year was a warning from heaven, so if we accept this warning and change it in time, there should be no more solar eclipse warnings in October this year, and your calculation will definitely fail. With months to go, how can you be sure that there will be no changes in personnel that would lead to a complete change in the predetermined celestial phenomena? Isn't that inconsistent?

Duan Fang shook his head: "If the personnel remain the same, the celestial phenomena will also remain the same." Then he turned to Cao Cao and said: "The minister is not presumptuous, but private." Since last winter, although the south of the Yangtze River has been fixed, it has been chaotic in the west of the Guanxi, Liu Bei has cut off Yizhou, and now he is called Guanghan in vain; Hongnong and Nanyang epidemics are epidemic and are likely to spread; Then the Wu thief started in Yichun, and Hu Lu rebelled in Hukou. Small chaos is the sign of big chaos, but knowing the uncertainty of the world, then the sky is vigilant, what's strange? ”

Yes Xun pursed his lips, and said in his heart that the country is so big, what year and month will there be no trouble, and the sun will not be able to see the eclipse of the sky? is so far-fetched, it's like a magic stick - this is the person Chen Changwen fancies? was about to continue to refute, but saw Cao Cao gently waving his hand at him, so he had to quickly swallow his words.

Cao Cao looked at Duan Flaw, and asked word by word: "Who is unvirtuous, Son of Heaven?" Or is it lonely? ”

Duan Fang hurriedly bowed his head: "The minister doesn't dare." The Son of Heaven does not care, the virtue of the king, the four seas are admired, that is, the heavens warn, and the sin is not in the king. Then he looked up again and spoke again:

"In the first year of Emperor Yongguang of the first Han Dynasty, with spring frost and summer cold, the sun was blue and lightless, and the prime minister Yu Dingguo, Sima Shigao, and Xue Guangde, the imperial historian, took the blame and apologized, but they all abdicated, and Emperor Xiaoyuan allowed it. In the thirteenth year of Emperor Xiaoming's Yongping in this dynasty, the solar eclipse, the three dukes were impeached without crowns, and Emperor Xiaoming admitted his own blame, but he was not allowed to take the throne. In the first year of Emperor Xiao'an, the country was in a disaster, thieves appeared frequently, and it became a practice for Taiwei Xu Fang to take the blame and resign. From the beginning of Yongchu to Xingping, in the past 90 years, the prime minister has been relegated to the throne 62 times due to disasters.

"Last year's solar eclipse, that is, the post-Hongnong, Nanyang epidemic, Yichun, Hukou thieves, yin and yang are not in harmony, the people are suffering, and it is not the fault of the prime minister? And now the corpse is still in place, like an old horse in love, can't go around, isn't it October this year, the sun will be eclipse again? ! ”

This big article was just out, and everyone present was shocked.

What does Duan Fang mean by that? There have been natural disasters in the next life, and there are also human disasters, not to mention man-made disasters, all of which will erupt because there is no way to govern them, so those who are in power cannot excuse their guilt. There are emperors who have the shame, they introspect themselves, and they blame themselves, and more shameless emperors put all the blame on their subordinates, forcing their courtiers (mainly the leaders and prime ministers) to resign voluntarily to avoid God's punishment. As for natural disasters, according to the "Heaven and Man Induction", it is also because the world is not harmonious and the governance is not effective, so the warning that God specially came down, and the prime ministers encountered it, and they should first apologize to the emperor like a man-made disaster, and then go to the throne to resign.

This road happened in the Western Han Dynasty, and after the early years of Emperor An Yong in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it became a common practice. According to Duan Bian's statistics, from the first year of Emperor An Yongchu to the first year of Emperor Xingping, less than 90 years, as many as 62 prime ministers resigned because of this. So the question is, now there is a solar eclipse, and there is plague and turmoil, but the prime ministers are still living in peace above the court, as stable as Mount Tai, is this an elephant? Don't you just resign as usual?

Cao Cao asked coldly, "Do you want to make Gu resign?" "I'm Han Xiang, do you want me to take the blame and resign? Duan Fang shook his head: "No, the world's affairs, the president of the king, although the name is Han Xiang, how can anyone dare to look at it as a subordinate?" The eclipse of the sun is also seen in all directions, and the east of the river is the most visible; The outbreak of the plague was in the land of Wei; The rebellion of Yichun, the new land of the king; The mouth of the pot is rebellious, and it is between the elbows and armpits. Then the heavens are responsible, not Han, Shi Wei, the corpse vegetarian, not the king, really the princes! ”

This time, the poor dagger finally appeared, and his true intention was laid out - he wanted to force the prime ministers of Wei to resign en masse!

Shi Xun couldn't help but glance at Xun Yu again, and saw that the old man closed his eyes slightly, looked at his nose, looked at his nose and heart, and turned a blind eye to foreign affairs and heard as if he hadn't heard of it - it was obvious that he knew about this in advance, so he didn't dare to rebuke Duan Fang, but he must summon him over to talk to Cao Cao in person. Duan Fang's spearhead is directed at the prime minister of Wei State, and he Xun Gongda is also among them, if he presses this matter by force, he will be taken out by others, and his name will definitely be lost.

Glancing at the imperial historian Mao Jue again, Mao Xiaoxian's expression was completely different, both shocked and confused, and Shi Xun guessed that what he thought in his heart should be: "A stick knocks down a large piece, Duan Sique, what do you mean?" Do you really think about the country's social welfare, or do you want to take the opportunity to clear the way for your benefactor Chen Changwen to go up? I'm relying on you to say hello to me in advance, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't want to go! ”

Yes Xun was still guessing here, and his eyes didn't come back, but Duan Fang turned his head again: "Is it what Ling Jun said that he thought was flawed, but is it?" ”

Ahh It's Xun who has a big fire in his heart, but it's not easy to show it. He said in his heart that it was because I refuted you a few words just now, so you just stabbed me diagonally, or did you originally focus on me? Is this Chen Qun's instruction?!

How do you say Yeshun should answer? directly refuted the other party's nonsense, saying that Lao Tzu would resolutely not resign! Didn't you deliberately send your face to the door, waiting for Duan Fang to brush her prestige with herself? In desperation, he had to solve the problem twice in a few days: "As Qing said, the country is not governed, and the prime minister is wrong." If you are incompetent, please resign ......" (to be continued......
