Chapter 204: The Heavenly Gods Descend to Earth

Liu Che's hands trembled a little. Those fragments of memories suddenly flashed in my mind like a marquee. The first time I was enshrined in Zen, I was the same as Qin Shi Huang in the past, and the future emperor of heaven in the world was not the same fear, helplessness, and desire to die. But death seemed to me to be such a difficult and powerless fantasy.

Liu Che was a little dizzy, everything when he was a child was shaking in front of his eyes, and the tragic death of his parents was ...... Uncle and aunt's face...... Discrimination and bullying by other princes...... The poverty and loneliness of life...... And Gillian...... Gillian who is getting farther and farther away from herself...... It's all gone.

The widow is the son of heaven in the world, the widow is rich all over the world, and the widow wants to live forever!

Mencius said: "Confucius climbed the East Mountain and Xiaolu, climbed Mount Tai and the world."

Confucius said, climb Mount Tai and the world is small! "Customs and Customs" quotes Confucius as saying, "Feng Taishan, Zen Liang Father, can be counted, seventy have two", referring to the king's success in sealing Zen, in order to tell the meaning of heaven and earth. The sage of Confucius, who is not a king but a king, did not leave footprints.

Yes, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not the first well-documented and fanatical king in history. Qin Shi Huang was the first emperor to engage in large-scale immortal activities, he "used a very conquering strong army, strict law, and severe punishment to maintain the great unification, and then could not live forever. The second is to seal Zen Taishan! There is also a wordless tablet of Mount Tai Dengfeng Tablet located under the gate of Mount Tai Jade Emperor Top, the north side of Dengfeng Stage. The stele is yellow and white, covered on the top, and there are no words on both sides. Some people say that it is the first emperor of Qin Shi Huang Mount Tai to stand a wordless monument! The so-called Mount Tai Feng Zen, according to the "Tea Fragrance Room Cong Yuan" quoted from the "Historical Records of Justice" cloud: "Mount Tai is built as an altar to sacrifice to the sky, the merit of the sky, so the day is sealed; Mount Tai down the hill to remove the ground, the work of repaying the ground, so it is called Zen. Shinto belongs to the sky, and the king is to seal Mount Tai to repay the sky, then Mount Tai has Shinto. The king is a small mountain under Mount Zen, such as Yunyun, Tingting, Liang's father, and Artemisia mountains to report the land, then Yunyun, Tingting, Liang's father, and Artemisia invite the mountain to have a ghost road. "Mount Tai has a very long history as an underworld. The first emperor won the government, two years before the unification of the six countries, he led the ministers to seal Mount Tai in the east, and carved a stone on the top of the Dai to praise virtue and returned. Before the death of the first emperor in the second year, his young son Hu Hai followed the example of his father and climbed Mount Tai again, and carved the stone stele of the first emperor, and then to his edict, vigorously praising the merits of the first emperor's creation and career. The purpose of this solemn ceremony of sealing Zen is to complete the ceremony in the sky and boast to the world about his career and the merits of Chinese martial arts through Mount Tai. But there is the Tang Dynasty since the Feng Zen Mount Tai, to Mount Tai to give the supreme and noble honorific title, then there is the idea of seeking protection by the power of Mount Tai.

So at this moment, what is Emperor Wu of Han thinking? Strangely, what the widow wanted was not the way to immortality. Rather, many things. Many things that can only be imagined in dreams, in dreams, are very unreal, but they seem to be right in front of them, and some people and things appear in front of them one by one, like a marquee. When the widow woke up, he couldn't remember exactly what he had dreamed of. But the widow suddenly felt that he was a little different, yes, it was different. I can't say it, but I can feel it.

The higher the person's point of view, the wider the field of vision. With the change of vision, people will also have a new understanding of life. From the perspective of a certain time and space, the entire human race is just a hurried process in the evolution of the earth, not to mention each specific person and thing. Standing on the ruins of the Colosseum in ancient Rome, all the power disputes in the world, the luxury of gold dust have turned into a cloud of smoke, until this time, the past scenes appear in front of me, the widow sighed, have already hallucinated......

However, can you really let it go?

The only thing that will last forever is the ruins and the echoes of history floating in the air. At night at the foot of the mountain, the heart is as calm as spring rain and autumn water, everything in the world can be given up, and only immortality is eternal.

The widow put his eyes on the front, this wordless tablet is said to be set up by Qin Shi Huang, and there are two specific sayings, one is because of the great merit of Qin Shi Huang, it is difficult to describe it in words, so there is no word; First, after Qin Shi Huang "burned books and pit Confucianism", no one would write the ancient characters of Gucangjie, so there was no word.

There is no word on the grinding tablet, and it is not human to think about a hundred years of things.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shouted in a hurry: "Hurry up and take away the cover, how can you cover it?" The gods and witches in the temple hurriedly explained: This is a rule set by the ancestors a long time ago.

The widow said, "What rule?" I haven't seen the face of God and man, how to worship.

Some people say that the widow has always been pretentious, and he thinks that he is a god descending from heaven, but the widow feels that this is the destiny of heaven.

According to legend, before the widow was born, one day his father Emperor Jing of Han had a dream in which a red man came down from the clouds and entered Chongfang Pavilion directly. Emperor Han Jing woke up suddenly, and when he came to His Excellency Chongfang, he still felt that the pavilion was surrounded by purple clouds. There is an old man surnamed Yao who is good at divination, Emperor Jing of Han told him about the dream, and the old man Yao said: "This is a good omen, this pavilion will give birth to the lord of the Liu family in the future!" So Emperor Jing of Han let Mrs. Wang live in. Later, Mrs. Wang gave birth to a boy in the pavilion, who was a widow.

Liu Che, the king who ascended to the throne at the age of sixteen and reigned for fifty-four years, was nicknamed after his death is not known to me. But the conclusion of the coffin, "Wu" is people's evaluation of my life. Compared with the excitement of the generals of Wenchen, the widow's expression is much calmer, and the widow recalls more, but it is the south and the north of the world, and what the soldiers are referring to is the big man! Cold glaciers, dark underground, magnificent Ganquan Palace...... And between the silhouettes like a marquee, the woman who was burning like a mad with blood-colored flames burning all over her body!

Kanaya Zangjiao...... It's just a joke, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, let alone a widow?

During the reign of the widow, the Xiongnu were defeated several times, forcing the Xiongnu to migrate to the northwest, resulting in the situation of "no royal court in the south of the desert"; The army destroyed the "Wei Korea" and set up four counties; Conquer Nanyue and set up seven counties, the southernmost part of the territory exceeds the Baiyue at the end of Qin.

"The widow has built a nation with unprecedented dignity; The widow gives a race the confidence to stand tall; The name of the widow has become the eternal title of a great nation", that is, in the era of the widow, the Han people could straighten their backs and say: Those who commit the great Han will be punished even if they are far away! Who is most qualified to leave a name carved on Mount Tai?

It's all the same. Regardless of the rule of three generations, the first person in the history of the Central Plains to go to the Taishan Tree Monument as the Son of Heaven on earth was Qin Shi Huang. King Qin swept Liuhe, looked at He Xiongzai, he established the first unified feudal empire in the history of the Central Plains, the merit is high and the world is high, he sealed Zen in Mount Tai, carved the stone tree tablet worthy of the descendants.

Some people say that the widow is eloquent; Some people say that the outnumbered are reckless. When later generations discuss widows, will they always mention Qin Shi Huang?

After all, looking at the actions of the widow in his life, there are too many similarities with Qin Shi Huang. It was only Qin II who died, and the widow was the emperor for 54 years, repelling the invasion of the Xiongnu and consolidating the peaceful and prosperous status of the Central Plains; The establishment of a complete feudal governance system became the basic model of the Chinese Empire for 2,000 years, and its cultural and martial arts made the Han Dynasty the axis of governance and economy on the Asian continent. This is the eighth time that the widow has climbed Mount Tai, it is said that he is a great man through the ages, and his immeasurable merits are far better than those of his predecessors. So after the widow, what kind of fate did the Han Dynasty go?

"In the past, the Yellow Emperor opened ghosts and gods on Mount Tai...... Xuan You is in the front, the wind sweeps the floor, the rain master sprinkles, the tiger and wolf are in front, the ghost and god are behind, the snake is lying on the ground, the phoenix is covered, and the ghost god is opened on Chinese New Year's Eve, as "Clear Horn". That may be the image of the early emperor Feng Chan Taishan. Confucius felt that the ancient Feng Zen was "indecent, with different surnames and the king can get more than 70 people, and there are tens of thousands of people who don't get it." Because the first emperor's sealing process was kept secret, Sima Qian also felt that he couldn't write it down in detail when he wrote the history. However, the first emperor's motive for sealing Zen is very intriguing.

In addition to the deep-rooted tradition of worshipping the heavens and praying to God, there are three aspects in his enshrinement of Mount Tai: First, the cause of governance. After Qin conquered the world, the resistance of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms did not subside, and they were still operating to overthrow the Qin Dynasty several times. Zu Long's brutal oppression of the six countries' resistance to power, heavy economic burdens, and unchecked conscription all caused the resistance to rise day by day. The First Emperor was keenly aware of that, so he praised the power of the country, ruled smoothly, and strengthened the empire. The second is to learn from the immortals, Zulong has sent people to the East China Sea many times to seek immortal medicine, although he believes that Mount Tai lives on the gods of the heavenly court, to Mount Tai Feng Zen can seek immortality, so as to become immortals. The third is the reason for the hidden familiarity of returning to the old city. The ancestor of the first emperor was originally from Dongyi, and he had the knot of returning to his homeland.

The first emperor did not make him feathere, so that he did not help him in governance, he hoped to use the Feng Chan to achieve the goal of eternal mountains and rivers and pass on to thousands of generations, and only 12 years later in the storm of the Daze uprising was wiped out. However, the wordless tablet left by him when he sealed Mount Tai is still for people to hang and reverie; It also created a precedent for the emperor of the world to enshrine Mount Tai since the official history, and made the heart of the Son of Heaven who has done in later generations to Mount Tai, and regarded Mount Tai as a symbol of heaven to judge the length of his own merits, Mount Tai was able to play a role in curbing the Son of Heaven to do whatever he wanted at a certain level, so that they read the "will of heaven", and did not dare to act too against the sky.

From the rule of three generations, eight hundred years of Zhou, the Ming monarch, the faint monarch, and the tyrant went in and out of Mount Tai very regularly, but when they went in, they were full of energy, and when they came out, they drooped their heads and looked half-dead. Not everyone is qualified to attain zen! As for the widow's lifelong expedition to the north and the south, he worked tirelessly to ram for his children and grandchildren, what was the result? How long did the prosperous era of the Han Dynasty built by the widows last? Is the minister entrusted by the widow on his deathbed reliable? The widow spared no effort to plot for his children and grandchildren, did he get the follow-up of his children and grandchildren? And also...... The crown prince, and other sons who died young.

They are my only relatives, Izumishita knows, will they find me, ask the widow why he has been absent from the life of his children and grandchildren for so long, and there are many, many things to ask the widow, even if they die. The widow thought of this. Tears welled up in his eyes again.

Did the things that the widows tried so hard to avoid finally happen? The more you don't let the widow see, the more curious the widow becomes.

Especially thinking of the story of Qin Shi Huang back then, the widow actually felt his blood boiling.

I remember the first time, the gods and witches in the temple said that they didn't dare to lift the cover of the gods, knelt on the ground and said, "The king killed me!" Dafang Shi also tried his best to dissuade him. The widow was not happy, so he simply went up to the temple platform by himself, and reached out to cover the wordless monument and stunned them.

Before opening the cover, the widow paused, and said in his heart: It's not that I mean to offend, but I really envy the first emperor's life's achievements. The widow seems to see his thousands of lives in front of him, but he does the same thing in every life and every life, serving as the son of heaven in the world, leading mankind to the future. Many times, the widow is eager to sacrifice everything he has until the nightmare of constant sacrifice is over.

I can't control myself.

Then excitedly lifted the covering...... The widow almost saw a strange light suddenly lit up. The bizarre and beautiful patterns suddenly filled the widow's sight. These patterns are like treasures and Buddhas, like aurora rainbows, and like all the most beautiful scenery in the world. The widow felt like a traveler who saw a mirage in the desert, and his heart was full of worship of the five bodies.

And yet nothing.

A musty smell came to his face, almost smoking the widow and falling off the temple platform.

The inscription of the First Emperor has long been eroded beyond recognition by wind and frost. No, it was originally a blank! "I'm still far from it!" Thinking of this, the widow suddenly recalled the picture that had just appeared in his mind, and the images of countless ancient generals and legends flashed again.

This is not a heavenly punishment, there is only one logical explanation: it was Qin Shi Huang Taishan who erected a wordless monument. After all, if you want to be famous, a history book is enough, so why use the monument? If the children and grandchildren cannot protect the family, they will be the ones who will be the townspeople. ”

The widow looked at the ugly inscription and was extremely disappointed. I don't see the ancients before, I don't see the comers after, the two generations of emperors who have returned to the destiny of heaven are on the same side, and they are ...... According to the "Historical Records", Qin Shi Huang ascended Mount Tai, encountered rain on the way, took refuge under a big tree, because the god of the big tree protected the meritorious, then the tree was awarded the title of "five doctors".

How come I don't even have the luck of Qin Shi Huang? Wave your hand and say, "Cover up!" Beautiful illusions are shattered when they see their true faces. "Just thinking about it makes me unbearable, and after reminiscing about it, I can't say anything." The widow showed a gesture of reminiscence, "I feel like my life so far has come full circle in my mind, and that is the so-called coffin closure." ”

But the beautiful illusion remains! The widow sighed in the palace: Why do I think the woman in my dream is so alive? He also issued a holy decree that all the vassal states should offer beautiful women.

Whichever vassal state does well, there will be rewards such as "reducing tribute", and Dafangshi is secretly happy in his heart.

He took it for granted that since the widow had not seen the true face of the man of God, then he could continue to stay in the palace.

He forgot what Su Lao told him was that "when the Son of Heaven goes to worship Feng Chantai, he will leave", not "When he sees the face of a god, of course, the main reason is that he is used to being a diviner of the Celestial Empire."

Reluctant to leave easily.

People are inertial and inert.

Of course, this can also be understood as a historical choice.

More than 20 days later, the widow Liu Che Taishan passed by Han Ting on his way back to Chang'an, and the little girl was already sixteen. The widow knows their tricks, not to mention the myth of Mrs. Punch, as soon as this word comes out, the widow feels that there is something wrong, the widow is well-informed, and the whole incident flashes in his mind like a marquee:

In fact, Mrs. Gouyi has almost learned the etiquette, and she can consider sending it to the palace. This is not the first time they have deceived the widow, think that at the beginning, a monk surnamed Jin dug up a tripod when he presided over the sacrifice in Fenyin, and people rumored that it was the manifestation of the earth. This tripod is larger than other tripods, carved with strange patterns, but can not find the inscription, I don't know what year and who made it. The magistrate regarded this tripod as auspicious and presented it to the widow. The widow was fooled and frightened, so he sent someone to arrest the Fang Shi surnamed Jin and torture him, and asked him if he was a fake? The Fang Shi surnamed Jin gritted his teeth, and he didn't admit it. So the widow got off the donkey, as if welcoming the ancestors, welcomed the tripod into the Ganquan Palace, and rewarded the priests heavily. So even if you are a liar, you have to be hard-boned!

Gongsun Qing heard that the widow worshipped a broken tripod as an ancestor, and also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, so he made up a book and said that it was given to him by the immortal Shen Gong. The content of the book is absurd, but it is to the liking of the widow. Ganquan Palace was originally the Ming court where the Yellow Emperor sacrificed to the gods, and the gods often came here to chat with the Yellow Emperor. Later, copper was mined to cast the tripod, and after the tripod was cast, God sent a dragon to meet the Yellow Emperor. So the Yellow Emperor rode the dragon to the sky, and by the way, he also took away more than 70 members of the harem and ministers. The others also wanted to go to heaven, so they grabbed the dragon's beard and did not let go, but the beard was torn off, and they all fell off, and their noses and faces were swollen. Stories like this, Gongsun Qing likes to tell them, and widows also like to listen to them. Gongsun Qing's dedication to the book was after Shaoweng and Luan Da, and the widow at this time can be said to have been tempered by thousands of tempers, although he did not give up, it was no longer so easy to let him be fooled. But the mythical stories of the Yellow Emperor are very fond of listening, and they have repeatedly expressed their determination and said: "If I can really be like the Yellow Emperor, all the beauties of the harem will be thrown away like broken shoes", but he refused to marry his own daughter, and he was not willing to be a high-ranking official, so he only let Gongsun Qing be a small official. After that, he couldn't release the scroll, and asked Gongsun Qing from time to time: Sir, what does this word read?

In the past, the Yellow Emperor often paraded, so he met the gods. Therefore, Gongsun Qing persuaded the widow to go out often, maybe he could meet the immortals. The widow readily agreed. The widow went out to cruise many times, and the famous mountains and rivers were all around, but they didn't even find a single fairy hair, but they killed many people in vain and ruined a lot of things. Seeing that the prophecy was about to be exposed, Gongsun Qing hurriedly ran to pour ecstasy soup to the widow: there are eight famous mountains in the world, three in the barbarian land, five in China, namely: Huashan, Shoushan, Taimur Mountain, Mount Tai, Penglai Mountain, according to myths and legends, Mount Tai is located in the east, is the place where the sun rises, and is also the birthplace of all things, so the god of Mount Tai has the important function of the main life and death, and thus extends several specific functions: the old and the new, the country and the people; Prolong life and become immortals; Fulu official position, noble and low; The period of life and death, the reign of ghosts. Because it controls the soul of the people, and presides over the life and death of the world, the nobility and the low, and the official position, and is the beginning of all things. When the Yellow Emperor Taishan sealed the Zen, and then ascended to heaven by dragon, why don't you try it, Your Majesty? In the past, when Sima Xiangru was alive, he talked about Feng Zen, and the widow was very moved at that time. At this time, as soon as Gongsun Qing said it, he made up his mind to climb Mount Tai and hold a ceremony to seal Zen. This is a big deal, and the widow thinks: I have to show my merit to the gods! So he mobilized 180,000 horses, first went to the frontier to show off his might, and then marched to Mount Tai.

The widow passed by Qiaoshan in Shangjun and saw the tomb of the Yellow Emperor, and couldn't help but doubt again: "Didn't the Yellow Emperor go as a god, how can there be his tomb here?" He called Gongsun Qing over and asked. Gongsun Qing replied: "This is the tomb of the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor ascended to heaven, and his subordinates missed and envied him, so they buried his clothes here. "It's right to think about it, one day when you ascend to heaven and become an immortal, won't the ministers do the same! A murderous disaster was resolved by him in this way. The widow ordered Gongsun Qing to take a boat to Penglai to find immortals. After more than half a month, he came back and said that he saw a giant several feet tall one night. I was going to take a closer look, but the giant disappeared all at once, leaving only large footprints. As soon as the widow heard about it, he became interested and took a boat to Penglai in person. The big footprints are still faintly recognizable, but they look like the hoof prints of wild beasts. When he returned to Jingshi, the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and he suspected that Gongsun Qing was playing with himself, so he wanted to slaughter him. Gongsun Qing heard about it in advance, so he asked the general Wei Qing to intercede for him. Wei Qing didn't know what to say, but he actually dissuaded the widow, and Gongsun Qing saved his life.

At the beginning, the young man persuaded the widow to build Ganquan Palace to summon the gods to come. The widow readily agreed. Ganquan Palace is 19 miles in radius, there are countless palaces and towers, and the strange gods and monsters are dazzling, or painted, or sculptures. In the middle of the palace, a high platform was built, on which a house was built, and various gods and goddesses were enshrined in the house, and various utensils for sacrifice were also placed. The widow listened to the words of the Fangshi, and built the Bailiang platform in the north of Chang'an City, which was dozens of zhang high and magnificent. There is a dew plate in the middle of the Bailiang platform, which is all made of copper, and is 20 zhang high. The pillar that supports the dew plate, which can only be hugged by seven people, is equipped with a fairy palm to receive dew, and it is said that it can be mixed with jade mincs and drunk, so that you can live forever. Later, a sudden fire burned the pavilion to ashes, and only the pillars still stood tall. When the fire came, Bailiangtai was burned down, and the widow was angry and ordered the construction of Jianzhang Palace. Jianzhang Palace is more majestic and magnificent than Bailiangtai, and there are thousands of households. The east is called Fengque, more than 20 zhang high; To the west is Tangzhong, which has a tiger garden with a radius of tens of miles; A large pond was dug in the north, called Taiye Pond, there was a high platform of more than 20 zhang built in the pool, and the immortal mountain holy places such as Penglai, Abbot, Yingzhou, Huliang were also imitated; On the south side, there are jade halls, bi gates, large bird statues, etc. The widow came to Ganquan Palace, built the altar of the Taiyi God, and also built the altar of the Five Emperors around the Taiyi altar to worship the gods and the Big Dipper. After that, every three years of the winter solstice, the widow would come to worship in person: in the morning, facing the east, facing the sun; At night, face southwest, facing the moon.

Gongsun Qing said: "The immortals do not ask for Your Majesty, but Your Majesty has to ask for the immortals, if the way of asking for the gods is not abundant, the immortals will not come." "In order to make the way of praying to the gods more abundant, the widow ordered the expansion of roads throughout the country, the repair and expansion of palaces everywhere, and the construction of shrines on famous mountains in various places. This incident lasted for several years, and not only did it cost a lot of money, but officials in various places spared no effort to meet the widows, and as a result, the people's livelihood withered, and a large number of farmland became wasteland. But the widow didn't care, listened to the monks, and decided to travel the world to hit the luck, hoping to meet the gods. So he took hundreds of civil and military officials, together with all kinds of officials, miscellaneous servants, and Yu Linwei, who escorted him, and tens of thousands of people, and set off like this. The Taishou of Hedong County had never seen such a large formation, and all the work he took over was not fully prepared, so he was panicked and committed suicide. The widow traveled the world, once and once occasionally passed by Longxi County. The Taishou of Longxi County did not receive a notice in advance, and there was no preparation at all, and tens of thousands of people came to Hula at once, and eating became the biggest problem. I couldn't provide for it, and I was afraid that the widow would condemn me and affect my family, so I committed suicide. The widow went north out of Xiaoguan and did not encounter the immortals, so he led tens of thousands of cavalry to hunt in the Qinzhong region, and by the way, he rectified the military affairs of the frontier. After returning to Beijing, he remembered that there were places in the Qinzhong region for nearly 1,000 miles that did not build fortresses or set up pavilion barriers, so he executed all the officials below the local Taishou. The widow cruised to the East China Sea, and Gongsun Qing made a fool of himself, saying that he had met a fairy. The ministers also contributed to the trouble. So the widow stayed overnight, and every day he stood on a stone by the seashore and looked into the distance. It's a pity that no matter how good a person's eyes are, after all, they can't see far, so the widow provided the scholars with vehicles and horses, and let them go around to find the traces of the gods. All of a sudden, the number of people seeking immortals was thousands. The widow passed by the east side of Mount Tai and stopped to worship heaven and earth, ghosts and gods. The ceremony was particularly solemn, and the altar alone was one foot two feet wide and nine feet high. The widow also wrote a handwritten letter to the gods, engraved on the jade, and buried under the altar.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled, presumably many people want to know what is written in the content? No one knew that it was the chance of the widow and the pen pal Queen Mother of the West.

The widow climbed Mount Tai again to worship, that day happened to be no wind and no rain, the people took the opportunity to instigate the widow to go to Penglai to invite the gods. The widow was very interested, so he came to the East China Sea again, and wanted to go out to sea by boat to find Penglai Xianshan in person, but no one could persuade him, and in the end Dongfang Shuo let the widow dispel this idea. The trip lasted 18,000 miles, and I don't know how many officials were unjustly killed and how many people were displaced. The widow listened to it, but soon after, he heard Gongsun Qing say that immortals like to live in high-rise buildings. The widow immediately ordered people to build the Lian Guan and Gui Guan in Chang'an, and also built the Yishou Temple and the Longevity View in the Ganquan Palace. Everything was ready to stop, so let Gongsun Qing take the emperor's talisman and wait for the gods to come. A few days later, the widow had a whim, so he built a rooftop, and also added the front hall of Ganquan Palace, and other palaces were also expanded. When the rooftop was built, there was a shortage of manpower, so tens of thousands of prisoners were requisitioned. The rooftop is particularly high, and when people stand on the top floor, the clouds and rain are like being trampled underfoot.

How many times did you do it? The widow once again paraded Mount Tai and sacrificed heaven and earth in the Ming Hall. Then he came to the East China Sea and asked about the results of entering the sea to seek immortals and gods. The words of the people were conclusive, but the result was that they were all running with their mouths full of trains, and none of their words were fulfilled. The widow still did not give up, so he sent more people to seek immortals and gods. All of a sudden, Fangshi became the hottest industry, and the first thing people said when they met was: Have you seen the gods?

In the winter of the following year, the widow personally went to the south to hit the big luck, and in order to say it well, he called it the southern tour. First at the foot of Jiuzhi Mountain, I worshiped Emperor Yu Shun, and then went to climb Tianzhu Mountain, and then took a boat to swim the Yangtze River. The fleet is connected from end to end, stretching for nearly a thousand miles. There was a giant fish that made waves and almost overturned the dragon boat that the widow was riding. The widow gritted his teeth in anger, and personally bent his bow and arrows, wounded the big fish, captured it, and then made a tooth sacrifice.

The widow in Mount Tai accepts the household registration and financial books of various counties and counties. On the way back to Beijing, he passed by Changshan, so he stopped to worship the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, and buried a piece of black jade under the altar. The strange theories of the scholars are still heard, but no one can pull the gods over for the widow to see! Is it really right for the widow to get tired of the fact that those who do the right thing suffer and those who do evil things are dashing in the world, and the end result is that the common people will come to pay for the evil deeds of the wicked man? Is this the original intention of cultivating immortals?

Although it has not been banned, it is no longer the same as before, as long as you hear someone's nonsense. At this point, the era when you could be a high-ranking official and ride a big horse with a big mouth and a few small tricks is gone! At this moment, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suddenly couldn't stop thinking of a person, Dongfang Shuo.

When the widow first ascended the throne, he issued an edict to recruit virtuous and capable people in the world. A series of names, a series of words, appeared in front of him like a marquee. These people are all familiar to everyone, but now I doubt their trust in me and their memory of myself. Only Dongfang Shuo!

Dongfang Shuo applied for a job, and it took 3,000 pieces of bamboo slips for two people to barely be able to carry it, and it took more than two months for the widow to read it. In the book, he said that he was "as brave as Meng Ben, as agile as Qingji, as honest as Uncle Bao, and as honest as Weisheng", and then asked a widow if a person like him is qualified as a minister of the Son of Heaven? No one praised him, so Dongfang Shuo praised himself to the fullest, full of advantages, and couldn't find the shortcomings. The widow laughed at it, but he still made him an official, just a small bus order, responsible for running errands, serving tea and pouring water. There are very few bus orders, and they do things that are not on the table, and it is almost difficult to see the emperor. So Dongfang Shuo took a few dwarfs who raised horses out of anger and scared them, saying: "The emperor thinks that you don't just eat and don't work, and it's useless to keep them, so he plans to kill you, so don't hurry up and plead!" The gnomes cried and begged the widow for mercy, and the widow called Dongfang Shuo to question him face to face. Dongfang Shuo said: "I can't do it, even if I cut off my head, I have to say, they are only three feet tall, but I am nine feet tall, but Yu Lu is the same." They are eating to death, and I am starving to death! When the widow heard this, he laughed heartily, and let him go to Jinmamen to be an edict.

The widow likes to guess riddles, and often puts objects under the rice bowl and asks the attendants to guess what it is. No one could have guessed. Dongfang Shuo bragged: "I have studied "Zhou Yi", guess this is not a small dish! So the widow let him guess. Dongfang Shuo divined a hexagram in a matter-of-fact manner, saying: "Guess it's a dragon, and there are no horns; Guess it's a snake, and it doesn't have feet, it's either a gecko or a lizard. When he opened the rice bowl, he saw that it was indeed a gecko, and he guessed correctly. I heard that he is a star official, does he really have supernatural powers?

Dongfang Shuo served by the widow's side, humorous and witty, and often made the widow laugh to the belly, so he was deeply favored by the widow. One day, the widow held a banquet, Dongfang Shuo feasted in large pieces, ate with a mouth full of oil, and drank a little high. Suddenly there was an urgency to urinate, so he ran to the main hall in a daze, and urinated. On this basis, he was impeached for the crime of great disrespect, but the widow did not kill him, but first demoted him to a commoner, and then sent him to the eunuch's office as a waiting edict. The widow has a younger sister named Princess Longxi, who sacrificed thousands of catties of gold and tens of millions of dollars before dying, and atoned for his son Zhaopingjun in advance for a capital crime, and the widow agreed. After the death of Princess Longxi, Zhao Pingjun was indeed arrested and imprisoned for murder. Because of the law of the previous king, the widow issued an edict to put him to death. Afterwards, when he remembered that his sister had only one son, and that she had entrusted him to herself before she died, the widow inevitably felt guilty and cried tears. The people around me are also sad. Dongfang Shuo leaned over with a happy face and said, "I heard that the Lord is in power, rewards do not avoid enemies, and punishments do not distinguish between flesh and blood. Your Majesty is doing this today, which is really a blessing for the people of the world! The little minister said hello to the emperor, first bow twice! The widow was annoyed at first, but then he thought that he was right, so he promoted him to Zhonglang.

The widow's aunt, Mrs. Dou, lived in widowhood for many years, and later worked with a beautiful man named Dong Yan all day long. The widow didn't care about this, and called Dong Yan the master, and often took him out to play. One day, the widow held a banquet in the Xuan room to entertain Mrs. Dou, and also invited Dong Yan. At that time, Dongfang Shuo stood under His Royal Highness with a halberd, but he didn't let Dong Yan in, saying that he "used the identity of a courtier to private the princess, messing with the relationship between men and women, and the crime was not punishable". The widow was silent for a long time, and said, "The banquet has been arranged, forget it this time, and correct it next time." Dongfang Shuo resolutely disagreed, saying: "The propaganda room is a place to discuss state affairs, if you let such unscrupulous people in, isn't it tantamount to encouraging everyone to mess around!" "The widow had no choice but to set up a banquet in the North Palace again.

There was a dog day in one year, and the widow gave meat to the hundred officials. Everyone came to receive the meat, but the officials in charge of distributing the meat did not come. So Dongfang Shuo pulled out his sword, stepped forward and cut a piece by himself, and said to everyone: "The meat is easy to spoil in hot weather, everyone cut it and go home!" After saying that, he held the meat and left. The official in charge of the meat distribution reported the matter to the widow. The next day, the widow questioned Dongfang Shuo, and Dongfang Shuo hurriedly apologized. The widow said, "Since you are guilty, tell me what is wrong with you?" Dongfang Shuo bowed, and then began to criticize himself - "Dongfang Shuo, Dongfang Shuo, you are not waiting for the edict, why are you so rude; Draw your sword and cut your flesh, why are you so reckless; Cut and cut a piece, how can you be so incorruptible; Go home and offer your wife and children, why are you so loving! The widow couldn't help laughing and said, "Let you self-criticize, how can it become self-praise!" So he gave him plenty of wine and meat, and let him take it home.

After Dongfang Shuo developed, he also began to consider personal marriage issues, so he stepped on a beautiful and young woman in Chang'an City as his wife. However, he has a rule of marrying a wife, that is, he changes his wife once a year. Therefore, the money and property rewarded by the emperor, as well as the monthly salary, were all used by him to send away his old wife and marry a new daughter-in-law. The ministers were very unaccustomed to him, and they all called him a "madman", but the widow said: "If Dongfang Shuo doesn't have such and such problems, which of you can catch up with him!" "The widow saw the portrait of Bo Yi Shuqi and asked Dongfang Shuo who these two people were? Dongfang Shuo replied: "Two fools in ancient times! The widow pretended to be angry and blamed: "I know the people in the portrait, they are famous hermits in the world, how can you say that they are stupid?" Dongfang Shuo said: "When a wise person lives in the world, he should follow the development of the trend." Even if they don't want to be officials, the world is so big, where can't they hide, why do they have to go to Shouyang Mountain and starve to death! After hearing this, the widow also sighed. Therefore, Dongfang Shuo is called "Da Yin". Once, the widow was playing in Shanglin Garden, saw a tree with lush branches, and asked Dongfang Shuo what kind of tree is this? Dongfang Shuo said that it is good. The widow secretly ordered the tree to be cut down. A few years later, the two passed by the tree, and the widow asked again, and Dongfang Shuo said that it was called Qu Suo. The widow sank his face and said, "You lie to me, how can the same tree have different names?" Dongfang Shuo was still very calm, and said: "This is normal, for example, a horse, it is called a foal when it is born, and it is called a horse when it grows up; Chickens are called chicks when they are born, and they are called chickens when they grow up; He was born as a son, and he can only be a son when he grows up! The widow laughed.

One day, the widow asked Dongfang Shuo, "What kind of monarch do you think I am?" Dongfang Shuo replied: "Since ancient times, the so-called prosperous era is nothing more than this. In my opinion, your merits are still above the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. Not only that, if His Majesty can appoint Duke Zhou as prime minister, Kong Qiu as the imperial historian, Jiang Taigong as the general, Bian Yanzi as the guard, Gaotao as the Dali Siqing, and Houji as the Dasi Nong......" The widow laughed when he heard this, and said: "Now there are capable people who are officials in the court!" Sir, look at yourself, where can you compare with them? Dongfang Shuo replied: "I see them all with bucktooth trees and brown faces, turning their lips and protruding chins, big buttocks and legs, walking and twisting, like a toad." Although Xiao Chen is not talented, fortunately, I have all these advantages alone! The widow almost laughed. The widow went to Ganquan Palace, and on the way he saw a red zerg, with all kinds of heads, eyes, ears and nose, and even teeth, which people didn't recognize. The widow asked Dongfang Shuo, and after Dongfang Shuo saw it, he said: "This kind of insect is strange, it is born of the resentment of innocent people, and it must have been a prison of Qin before I came to this place." The widow immediately ordered someone to bring the map to check, and sure enough, it was the prison of the Qin State, so he asked: "How can we get rid of these insects?" Dongfang Shuo replied: "All grudges can be resolved with wine." The widow ordered the little worm to be put in the wine, and in a short time it turned into powder and disappeared. An animal ran out of the double railing of the back pavilion of Jianzhang Palace, which looked very much like an elk. When the widow heard about it, he ran to see it in person and asked the ministers around him, but no one knew what it was, so he brought Dongfang Shuo again. Dongfang Shuo said: "I know this thing, and I hope that the emperor's wine and food will treat me first, so I will say." The widow said, "All right." After being full of wine and food, Dongfang Shuo said: "There are a few good fields somewhere, as well as fish ponds and pu reed ponds, if Your Majesty gives them to me, I will say them." The widow said, "Yes." So Dongfang Shuo said: "This thing is called a donkey, and its teeth are the same as the front and back, both are incisors, and there are no molars." The appearance of the donkey tooth indicates that someone from afar will come to surrender. "In less than a year, the Hun Hun evil king really came with 100,000 people to surrender.
