533 The Significance of Building Faith

This is the best time to strengthen the Ming people's belief in the 'Three Emperors', and the best way to strengthen their faith is to convince them that the Three Emperors really exist, and they are blessed with the land of Kyushu in heaven.

The Three Emperors incarnated into a sweeping man, and with his magic weapon broom, he easily defeated the poisonous snakes and demons summoned by overseas selflessly, isn't it the best evidence of their existence?

Although this move is suspected of 'deceiving' the people.

But you can get the best results.

In the 21st century, when scientific ideas have become the universal worldview, it is not right to deceive the people with the words of divine manifestations, because it will appear very clumsy and easily debunked.

But in ancient times, when people generally believed in gods, they could be used.

Because that's how people view the world.

And they are happy to believe it.

Even in the era of advanced science and technology hundreds of years later, even if the general public knew that it was a lie, they were willing to believe that the land of China was really blessed by the gods of the Three Emperors.

This will greatly improve their confidence and pride in being a descendant of China.

Let the people unite and become a monolith.

A nation without faith is deplorable, they have no backbone, they are scattered.

Hundreds of years later, most of the people in overseas countries where science and technology are extremely advanced still believe in the existence of God. Say they don't understand science? Modern chemical physics originated in the West.

Faith is the foundation of social order, the foundation of the legal system, and the foundation of social morality. The American Declaration of Freedom is based on faith in God.

Therefore, Qin Yu's belief in the Three Emperors in the Ming Dynasty was not an ignorant move, let alone feudal superstition.

It's far-sighted and far-reaching.

Physicist Isaac Newton spent his later years studying theology, and there was a conflict between faith and science? Belief in gods and goddesses that leads to the stagnation of science? On the contrary, countless founders of modern science were born in the West, where the atmosphere of theology is strong.

The opposite fact is that in the ancient East, it was because of the confusion of beliefs (in ancient times, some believed in Buddhism, some destroyed Buddha, some believed in Buddhism, and some destroyed Taoism, and none of them were unified), which led to the backwardness of the system and others.

In other words, for thousands of years, the people of this land have been like a plate of loose sand.

There is no backbone.

Confucianism can only be regarded as an ideology, not a faith.

The 'Ming Ghost' in Mohist scholarship is actually advocating that the people should have faith.

It's a pity that the Mo family has not been reused.

The overseas concept is to advocate people to kneel to the gods, while Confucianism advocates everyone to 'kneel to people' and kneel to those feudal nobles. An ethereal God who may not exist is selfless, but man has the greatest selfishness.

Man is the most feared animal in the world.

Isn't it a ridiculous thing to bow down to someone?

To sum up, Emperor Zhu's move is not wrong.

"It turns out that the Three Emperors of China, the ancestors of humanity, are really protecting our land of China! Didn't they just appear to them? Incarnated as a sweeper, hanging and beating the envoys of heaven. ”

"With the blessing of the Three Emperors, our Ming Dynasty will be prosperous in the future, for generations to come!"

"Freedom and equality are given to us by the Three Emperors, and by the ancestors of the descendants of Yan and Huang, and no one can disobey them! Because it is impossible for anyone to reach the height of the Three Emperors. ”

After hearing the words of the second tiger, the crowd said excitedly.

Some even knelt down and bowed, constantly kowtowing.

There's nothing wrong with kneeling to God.

At the very least, God will not be like the feudal aristocracy, the people kneel down to them, and they will still oppress the people. At most, the gods do not manifest themselves, but the feudal aristocracy will do everything possible to rectify those who bow down to them.

Squeeze their blood and sweat and nourish the nobility themselves.

The feudal aristocracy or the privileged class are like the demon who drinks blood, and the god is precisely the opposite of the demon.

It can be seen that the essence of establishing faith is to deny the privileges of the aristocracy. It is because there is no such thing as a denial of privilege in the Eastern Continent that privilege is so rampant and domineering.

Some people say that Confucianism is a belief that has existed for thousands of years, but in reality they are just a tool, not a faith.

Faith is something that everyone respects.

Confucianism, only the common people are believed, and the aristocracy is used, it is not faith. And from the point of view of omniscient and omnipotent supernatural powers, Confucianism is also not faith.

There are many people who believe in the god of wealth, which can be regarded as faith, but they are too narrow in charge of things, and they only manage one department. True faith is a 'great god' who is in charge of everything.

And the number can't be too much.

Too much and it's messy.

Therefore, Qin Yu proposed to only believe in the three emperors, these three. So, why is it the belief in the Three Emperors, not the Jade Emperor, and the founder of Taishang Laojun Taoism or Taishang Laojun? Or what about the God that the religion believes in?

Or is there a new 'god of freedom'?

There is also a great deal of attention to it.

Throughout the countless books that have traveled through antiquity, few have been able to reach the height of establishing faith in ancient times.

Because faith is higher than people, as long as there is faith, even if the dynasty changes, its core values will not change. So Qin Yu asked Emperor Zhu to establish the Three Emperors Faith,

It's a vision that few people can do.

It is estimated that even Zhu Yuanzhang did not see the true significance of his establishment of the Three Emperors faith.

……

A day later.

On the Fengtian Temple.

The crowd brought up the Heavenly Envoys, and the members of the Envoys no longer had the arrogance they had before. On the contrary, one by one, they all drooped their heads and froze.

Emperor Zhu not only did not kill them, but also imprisoned them for only one day.

"Abbas." Zhu Yuanzhang knew to Mo Jia first, "Now it seems that you are the real leader of your envoy group?" ”

"Emperor Daming, foreign ministers, exactly." Abbas replied honestly. During the day they were imprisoned, the jailer quietly showed them various punishments.

Scared them to death, completely eliminated their arrogance.

Before they came, they thought they would be dragged out and killed. After all, they were too arrogant last night, and they had greatly angered the Ming Emperor.

Therefore, they are now more honest.

"Bold heavenly envoy, your trick has been debunked yesterday, and you have nothing to rely on. You and other actions yesterday disobeyed the Ming Dynasty, and have committed unforgivable crimes, and now your life and death are in the hands of the Ming Emperor, and you still don't kneel down to the Ming Emperor and bow down, praying for freedom from death? Yang Xian stood up and scolded.

"Foreign minister Abbas, bow to the Ming Emperor." When Abbas heard this, he knelt down.

"Forget it." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "We know that overseas countries such as you have not yet had the habit of bowing down to mortals, and you will bow down to your gods, so this is exempt." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty Emperor Ming." Abbas thanked him for his gratitude.
