Chapter 173: Deceiving Empress Changsun
Daming Palace.
At this time, it was in a side hall.
When he heard Empress Changsun ask him if he had any secrets with His Majesty......
To be honest, at the beginning, Li Chong didn't intend to lie to her.
But......
Li Chong suddenly felt that he was here anyway.
Moreover......
There are not many opportunities to talk to the famous Empress Eldest Sun alone, and besides, there is a lot of time now, anyway, Li Chong plans to deceive her.
directly said very seriously: "Your Majesty and I, we do have some secrets."
"......" After hearing this, Empress Eldest Sun was silent for a while, and then asked, "What is that?"
Li Chong said, "But these secrets can't be told to others casually."
"And the queen should also know, every time I meet His Majesty, almost always alone."
"It's because of these secrets, how to say, if someone hears it, it will not be good."
"Even the queen is not fit to listen."
"As for the reason......
"Ahem! Maybe these words are a bit too subversive of the queen's three views."
"Three views? What are the three views?" Empress Eldest Sun asked.
Li replied to her and said, "The so-called 'three views' are the worldview, the outlook on life and the values."
"The so-called worldview is the view of the world, for example, what do you think the world is like?"
"......" Empress Eldest Sun.
"Uh...... If you can't answer, it proves that your worldview is very lacking, and I think that the beauty may be stronger than the queen's worldview."
"......" Empress Eldest Sun.
"For example, the moon is round, and that's the worldview."
The eldest grandson queen knows what a worldview is.
"I also know that the moon is round."
Li Chong said, "The moon is not round, but a ball."
Empress Changsun remembered that she had also seen the moon with a telescope.
But......
She wasn't going to explain anything right now.
Instead, I listened to Li Zhong say, "You can only describe the moon now, but can you describe a larger space? It's a bigger world."
"......" Empress Eldest Sun.
Li Zhong could only say to her, "For example, what is the sun, what is the moon, and what is the relationship between the sun and the moon."
How does Empress Changsun know what the relationship between the sun and the moon is, probably one day out and one night?
She then said, "One is coming out during the day, and the other is coming out at night?"
Li Chong: "That's why I said that your worldview is very lacking."
"......" Empress Eldest Sun began to disagree, "Then what do you say is the relationship between the sun and the moon?"
Li Chong looked around for something that could be used.
Fortunately, there is paper and pen in this side hall.
Then Li Zhong drew a very large oval circle.
said, "This is the Milky Way!"
"In the Milky Way, there are many, many spheres."
"Every ball revolves around the middle."
"The way it spins, it's kind of like a tornado."
"And we're here!"
Li Zhong carefully ordered a point that could not be smaller.
Afterwards......
Zoom in again.
"This is the sun."
"This is Earth."
"This is us who live on Earth."
"That's what the world is made of."
"That is, the most basic worldview that a smart person should understand."
"Actually, outside of the Milky Way, there are many, many other galaxies, so the whole world is bigger than this
It's much bigger."
"It's just...... Basically, if you recognize that, that's good."
When Empress Eldest Sun heard him say this, she was already a little incomprehensible.
"This is the secret that Your Majesty and I often discuss."
"Actually...... It's useless for ordinary people to know this."
"On the contrary, they will not accept it, and even refute it very vehemently."
"That's what I said before, why can't these secrets be known to ordinary people, because it will subvert their three views."
"Let's take the emperor being ordained by heaven, if this worldview comes out, what is that day? We must continue to dig into the bottom of the matter, and in the end we can't find an answer, or find an answer, but it is not at all the same answer as the people originally thought, and the people will feel that the emperor is ordered by heaven, but in fact, it is all a lie."
"After that...... It's not easy for the people of the Tang Dynasty to deceive."
"......" Empress Eldest Sun.
"Queen, you are the same, just know it yourself, don't say it."
"Because...... The more you get to know each other, the more you will realize that everything is wrong today!"
"The emperor should not exist in this world, this world should be shared by all the people of the world."
"The emperor is just a servant of the people, and the reason why he was elected in the first place was so that he could lead the people to a better life, not like now."
"Now, this world has long since become a world of one family and one surname."
"Say, can you tell this secret to anyone?"
"Can you tell the people of the world?"
"Surely not."
"Because...... Your Majesty still wants Li Tang to be the world for thousands of generations."
After Li Zhong finished speaking, he stopped.
At this time, Empress Changsun also felt that there was a flaw and asked, "Then you say it again?"
Li Chong: "Because I haven't told Your Majesty what I'm telling you now. I came in the opposite way and told Your Majesty how to make the people of the Tang Dynasty obedient."
「……」
Empress Eldest Sun was speechless.
Li Chong: "Actually, according to the "Three Views", the Tang Dynasty will perish in 300 years. Just like those dynasties in the past, they can't escape the fate of destruction. What I am doing for Your Majesty now is to let it not perish for three hundred years. That's why I made a steam tractor. If there is a steam tractor, even if there is a big contradiction, at least, there will be enough food to eat. Then, in this way, the people will not all starve to death."
"Even ...... The population of the Sui Dynasty is only 50 million, and the Tang Dynasty, after 300 years, may be able to reach ten times that of the Sui Dynasty."
"That's fifty thousand!"
"When the time comes, I think Chang'an City will be even more prosperous than it is now."
"Of course! I don't think I will live until then, but the steam tractor will continue to be passed on until the end of humanity."
"Does the queen know that there are many, many different creatures alive on this land?"
「?」 Empress Eldest Sun.
"For example, tens of thousands of years ago, there was an ape-man who looked about the same as us, but unfortunately, in an accident, they all became extinct."
"Even, if you dig it now, you can dig up the seeds of the grain they left behind before they died."
