Chapter 223: Divine Authority of the King! The Mandate of Heaven is in the King of Yan!
"Virtuous son-in-law."
Zhu Di asked stubbornly.
"Is there really an immortal god or Buddha in this world?"
If so, does that mean that the Mandate of Heaven is also real?
It's just that Zhu Yunwen is now the Son of Heaven, and he is now sitting on that dragon chair, is Zhu Yunwen the real destiny?
But if not, then where did Su Yang, the "immortal", come from?
For a while, Zhu Di was extremely confused.
He desperately wanted to get an answer from Su Yang's mouth!
After all, the person Zhu Di trusts the most now is Su Yang in front of him!
Facing his father-in-law with a blank face, Su Yang didn't know how to speak for a while.
After pondering for a moment, he pondered his words before slowly shaking his head.
"Immortals, gods and Buddhas, there is naturally no such thing in this world."
No?
How could it not be?
Aren't you an immortal?
Zhu Di was shocked, he didn't expect Su Yang to give such an answer.
Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaochu were also stunned, and looked at Su Yang in disbelief.
If there were no immortals in this world, then Su Yang would not be a "fairy man".
But he, Su Yang, is not an immortal, so why does he know so many strange techniques, why is he familiar with the general trend of the future, and why can he easily sacrifice such a social artifact as potatoes?
As an ordinary person, this is simply impossible!
In the past, the Yanwang Mansion gave Su Yang all these unreasonable things, and labeled him as an immortal, so everything that was unreasonable became reasonable.
After all, immortals are not ordinary, so everything can naturally be explained!
But Su Yang now said it himself, there are no immortals, gods and Buddhas in the world, isn't that slapping them in the face?
Zhu Gaochi was deeply influenced by Confucianism, and naturally he was also familiar with the theories of "heaven and man induction" and "divine authority of monarchy".
So he immediately objected, or put forward a different opinion.
"Su Yang, the sages have clouds, the Son of Heaven is ordered by the heavens to shepherd and hunt on behalf of the heavens, this is all traceable!"
"The emperor's general is also prosperous, its beauty is also seer, its death is also seer, and the demon is also seer, so things are called by likeness!"
"For example, the mother of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty dreamed of the day; Liu Yu, the founding emperor of the Liu Song Dynasty, was born when the divine light room was bright, and it was the evening nectar that fell on the tomb tree; Emperor Liu Jun of the Song Dynasty had a light room when he was born; On the night of the birth of Emperor Xiao Zhen of the Southern Qi Dynasty, his grandmother and mother dreamed that there was a dragon ...... coiled on the house."
Not to mention that Zhu Gaochi is very knowledgeable, he immediately cited one example after another, trying to prove Dong Zhongshu's set of "heaven and man induction" theory, confirming that monarchy is a divine grant, and confirming that there must be immortals and gods and Buddhas in this world!
Su Yang did not rush to refute after hearing this, because he understood that this was an era of ignorance, and the people of the world were extremely superstitious, even Zhu Gaochi was no exception.
So he chose to use a relatively gentle way to try to let this eldest brother see the truth of this world!
"Isn't this set of operations all played? What emperor was born without a vision? If there is no vision, then it is abnormal, right? ”
Su Yang smiled and said, "Haven't you found some rules?" The visions of emperors in all dynasties are nothing more than a few. ”
"The first one is to look at it!"
"Regardless of the divine light or the red light, it is okay to save trouble and only say that the different light is fine, anyway, it has to be shiny and shiny, which proves that this son is born extraordinary."
"The second one is to smell it!"
"Whether it's an ordinary incense or a different incense, in short, you have to make people smell comfortable, and the range of this incense is also from small to large, from the whole house to the whole street incense, which proves that this child is not an ordinary child, and he will definitely have great achievements in the future."
"The third one is to listen to Xuan!"
"How did the mystery come, what 'god man hugging the child', 'true dragon into a dream', etc., the more mysterious it is, the more willing the people are to believe it, anyway, it can't be too ordinary and simple, then it can't prove that this son is destiny!"
Hearing Su Yang say this, Zhu Di's father and son were a little dumbfounded.
They thought about it for a while, and it seemed that this was really the law!
At the beginning, the emperors of the past dynasties played relatively conservatively, just some brilliance, but the more they played, the more outrageous they became, and the gods and men hugged their children and the real dragon dreamed of these became the standard, anyway, the history books are clearly recorded that the emperors of the past dynasties were born and extraordinary, and there was no ordinary person.
Hiss......
Zhu Di suddenly felt a toothache.
"What do you mean, son-in-law...... Are these imperial visions false? ”
"Nonsense!" Su Yang pursed his lips disdainfully, "There are not even immortals, gods and Buddhas in this world, where are there so many imperial visions?" ”
"Those are just tricks deliberately played by the emperor in order to prove that he is destined to return to heaven and to build momentum for his own governance."
"It's just that the emperors of all dynasties like to play like this, as if they don't play like this, they are too ordinary to establish the prestige of the emperor, and with the Confucian set of 'heaven and man induction' and 'divine authority of the monarch' theory, so that the people of the world are convinced of this, it can be said that it has been tried and tested!"
"It has to be our grandfather of the Ming Dynasty, he is a sincere person, just playing a 'red light full house', proving that he was extraordinary when he was born, which is like those shameless guys in the former Song Dynasty, the emperor has many visions, the more strange and terrifying the further he goes, the frequency of his appearance and the richness of the content are simply unprecedented, and he is crazy!"
Zhu Di: "!!"
It's numb!
It's a little numb!
I seem to know my father's black material!
And everything in this special place is to fool the people?
What kind of bullshit "heaven and man induction", what kind of bullshit "divine authority of the monarch", but all of them are ideological tools for the emperors of the past dynasties to fool the people and consolidate their rule?
Phew, Zhen Nyima is shameless!
Also "God and man hug", and "real dragon into a dream"!
Zhu Di spit out several times in a row, but he was a little happy in his heart.
After all, he was convinced of these theories in the past, and even asked his relatives if he had any visions when he was born, and the results showed that he Zhu Di was very calm when he was born, and he looked like an ordinary child, so Zhu Di was sad for a long time!
Now he finally understands that all this is just a trick played by those emperors to play with the people!
It's so shameless!
"Although these are all small tricks, you have to admit that these tricks are very useful!"
After all, the people of the world are willing to believe, so what is the difference between the real and the fake? Anyway, the effect is achieved! ”
Su Yang sighed.
"If Yanwang Zhu Di wants to boost morale, he must use these tricks."
"After all, just relying on a martyrdom posthumous precept to make the world believe that he Zhu Di is destined for heaven, this is far from enough!"
"So the vision auspicious or something, you can arrange it, and then you can manipulate public opinion, not only to believe in the soldiers of the three armies, but also to let the people at the bottom also believe that Zhu Di is the real son of destiny, and believe that the destiny is in Yan!"
In fact, Su Yang didn't want to do this, after all, this was fooling the people and playing people like fools.
But in this era of ignorance, this has become the simplest and most crude method, direct and effective!
After all, Su Yang can't tell the people of the world that you are all wrong, there are no gods, Buddhas and immortals at all, right?
There is still a long way to go if we want to open up the wisdom of the people and remove the ignorance!
