Chapter 642: The End of the Five Virtues
Qin Shi Huangdi's Feng Zen procession, all the way through the land of Guanzhong, and then take the Sanchuan Avenue, to the direction of Mount Tai.
Xianyang is more than 2,000 miles away from Mount Tai, and if you walk at the speed of a march of 30 miles a day, it will take more than two months, and nearly three months to rush.
And the first emperor's most wanted day of enshrinement was on June 6.
The number of six or six, in line with water morality, is the symbol of the Mandate of Heaven of the Qin State.
If you can enshrine Zen on this day, it will show the sacredness and authority of the emperor even more.
The team of the Eastern Tour set off at the end of February and arrived at Mount Tai, which was almost only three months away, which seemed a little tight, but in fact the emperor walked very leisurely along the way, and stopped from time to time to look at the scenery, and the speed of travel was not slow.
The reason for this is because Qin Shi Huang took a newly built gallop road on his eastern tour.
When Zhao Tuo proposed to build the Chi Road the year before last, according to the plan of the ministers, in addition to the Western Road related to the borders of Longxi and Beidi, the highest priority was the Eastern Road that came out of Guanzhong, passed through the land of Han and Wei, and led directly to Linzi, the capital of Qi.
As soon as this road is opened, and there is chaos in Qidi, the empire can immediately send troops, and after passing through this road, it can quickly reach Qidi and quell all rebellions, which is very efficient.
When Feng Chan's party arrived at Luoyang City in Sanchuan County, Qin Shi Huang stopped him.
Luoyang.
This is the world, the so-called house China is also.
The Xia people built the capital between Yiluo.
SenseTime's capital is also here.
King Cheng of Zhou also built the capital here, called Cheng Zhou.
When King Ping of Zhou moved east to Luoyi, the Zhou family stayed here for 500 years.
It is the capital of three generations and the center of Chinese civilization.
The first emperor's eastern tour this time is not only to seal the world of Zen and show his prestige, but also to let go of such an important place as Luoyang.
He wants to stay here for a day and worship the holy monarchs of Xia Yu, Shang Tang, Zhou Wen, and Wu, so as to show that Great Qin is the country of destiny that inherits the heirs of three generations.
The First Emperor took Fengchang to the sacrifice, and Zhao Tuo would not follow.
He simply took a few servants and prepared to visit Chengzhou City, where the former King of Zhou lived, and it was not in vain.
As a result, after sneaking around outside, Zhao Tuo was surprised to find that this Luoyang City was black everywhere.
Presumably received the emperor's will in advance.
On this day, the yellow, green, white, and red colors of the entire Luoyang were all covered or torn off, whether it was a person or a thing, it was all black.
Even if Zhao Tuo was used to seeing the black-armored Qin pawns in the barracks, he was still a little dizzy when he suddenly saw that the city was all black.
"The eyes are all black, does this mean that the colors of the third generation of Xia Shang have been blackened by Daqin?"
Zhao Tuo stood in the middle of the city, looking at the black in his eyes, a little speechless.
Not only did Zhao Tuo feel uncomfortable, but another person passed by, and after seeing Zhao Tuo, he came over and talked to each other for a few words, and as he spoke, he also mentioned the scene in front of him.
"The emperor believed in the doctrine of the Five Virtues. The five virtues are based on the Yellow Emperor's appearance of earthworms, so the Yellow Emperor has the virtue of the earth. Then there was a green dragon in the suburbs, Xia Yu according to this for the wood, wood instead of soil. Later, silver overflowed from the mountains, and Shang Tang got Jinde, and Kexia prospered. As for the end of the Shang Dynasty, the Red Wu Dan Book was collected in the Zhou Society, and the Zhou people took this as a fire virtue and used Zhou to defeat Shang. As for my Great Qin, it is said that in the past, Duke Wen went out to hunt and got a black dragon, so it was the Rui of Water De, and the water overcame fire to replace the Zhou room, so the city was still black. ”
The man said the five virtues again, turned to stare at Zhao Tuo in front of him with his eyes, and said softly: "Does the prince think that the five virtues are true or false? ”
The corners of Zhao Tuo's mouth twitched slightly.
Ask me if the five virtues are true or false?
That must be fake.
Zhao Tuo wanted to scold the last sentence happily, this is feudal superstition, naturally it is fake, and it can't be faked anymore.
In his opinion, the theory of the Five Virtues is a ruler's toy, and it is broken in the future.
For example, in the later Han Dynasty Qin Ming, he felt that Qin was not worthy of virtue, so the early Han Dynasty was a water virtue for decades, and the Han army was a black armor and a black flag. When it came to Emperor Wu, it was changed to Tude, which was the yellow clothes and yellow flag.
As for Wang Mang, he usurped the Han and thought that he was a descendant of the Yellow Emperor and considered himself a native virtue. But what should I do if Tude is occupied by Han, then change it to Han, with the help of all Confucian scholars, Wang Mang changed Han's Tude to Huode, and turned the rotation of the five virtues into the rotation of the five virtues of fire and earth.
Later, Liu Xiu ascended to the throne and sat on the throne of King Huode in the world, which is why he is known as "Yan Han".
Therefore, in the Western Han Dynasty, there was no Han army with red flags and shouting "Yan Han".
The Han Dynasty alone had the three virtues of water, earth, and fire, which were changed at will.
How does this make Zhao Tuo believe in the theory of the five virtues?
However, at this time, in the face of this person's inquiry, Zhao Tuo still nodded solemnly and said: "Hui Gongzi, I Daqin dominates the world, inherits the life of three generations, and prospers on behalf of Zhou. ”
The man bowed his head, looked at the distance and his eyes were full of black, and sighed faintly: "If this statement is true, the five virtues are constantly running, and there will definitely be people who are virtuous in the future." I don't know when I will replace the virtue of Great Qin. ”
Zhao Tuo didn't expect the other party to make such an exclamation, and he was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly said: "Childe is cautious." ”
was reminded by Zhao Tuo, and the other party also found that he had lost his words, and hurriedly said: "What the prince reminded is that it was Ziying who lost his words." I just saw that Luoyang was the capital of three generations, and the three generations were rotated, Shang Kexia, Zhou Dynasty Shang, and finally replaced by my Great Qin, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, and said these nonsense words, and asked the prince to bear with me, don't leak it. ”
Zhao Tuo smiled and said: "Gongzi is a generous elder of the clan, and what he said is reasonable, but it's a pity that I walked down a little just now, but I didn't hear what Gongzi said, it's a pity." ”
Ziying was slightly stunned, and then laughed dumbly.
"Prince, you are really a wonderful person in the world."
He bowed to Zhao Tuo, bowed goodbye, and left.
Zhao Tuo looked at the back of Ziying leaving.
"At this time, I was thinking about when the Tude who replaced Qin appeared, this child really found a blind spot. Or did he already have a sense of distress and realized the possibility of Qin's death? ”
Zhao Tuo was a little surprised.
Just like Ziying said, the first emperor hyped up the theory of the five virtues as a way to show that he had the mandate of heaven to represent Zhou, as political propaganda.
But if the state of Qin is placed in the theory of the five virtues, then a problem arises.
The five virtues are rotated, endlessly, Qin is a water virtue, and there will be a person who will be a native of Qin in the future.
Did the First Emperor think about this?
Or rather.
Zhao Tuo raised his head and looked at the location of the palace in the Zhou Room in the city.
"Does he really think that he can live for ten thousand years, and Daqin can also be passed on for ten thousand years?"
After Qin Shi Huang sacrificed three generations of holy monarchs in Luoyang City and reaffirmed the destiny of Qin to inherit the heirs of three generations, he set off again and traveled eastward along the Chi Road.
To the east of Luoyang is Xingyang.
This is the real county seat of Sanchuan County of Qin State, and it is also an important stronghold of Qin State in the east, which is not only a superior water transportation hub, but also because of the construction of Aocang, which has further emphasized the strategic position of Xingyang.
Since he was here, the First Emperor naturally wanted to inspect the strategic storage place of Aocang.
"The grain of Aocang has accumulated 6 million stones, and when the storage is filled in the future, it will be enough to feed an army of 500,000 for three years."
Shang Shu shot Li You and reported the data obtained from the Sanchuan County Guard to the emperor.
"Tell the Sanchuan county guard and let him guard Aocang for me. If Ao Cang is not lost, then my Great Qin will never have trouble. ”
The First Emperor looked at the continuous warehouses built along Ao Mountain in front of him and bowed slightly.
This is the guarantee that Great Qin is enough to rule the world.
If the princes dare to rebel against Qin.
Daqin Ruishi can quickly gallop along the main road, as well as the county roads that extend in all directions, and quickly gallop to various places.
Aocang has enough food to ensure the logistics of the Qin army.
The important location of Xingyang water transport hub can ensure good transportation.
With such conditions, how can the Great Qin River be shaken by the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.
"This is where the emperor of my Great Qin is located!"
The First Emperor spoke lightly, his eyes full of pride.
When all the ministers heard this, they all bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, ten thousand years! ”
"Great Qin Wannian!"
In the entourage, Zhao Tuo watched this scene, and shouted quietly with everyone.
What came to his mind was something else.
"The world has been decided, the heart of the first emperor, he thinks that the foundation of Guanzhong, the golden city is thousands of miles, and the descendants of the emperor are also ...... However, Chen is the son of the urn and the rope pivot, the person who is subordinate, and the migratory disciple is also ...... Chopping wood for soldiers, unveiling poles for flags, the world gathers to respond, win food and follow the scene. Shandong Haojun then rose up and died the Qin people! ”
"Emperor, you can't see the real disaster."
In Zhao Tuo's sigh.
This team of Feng Chan set off from Xingyang again.
The First Emperor wanted to go south along the chasm and take a look at the former Daliang City.
On the way, there is a place called Bolangsha.
