West Side.

The sky was just dawning.

Ji Heng was woken up by a quick knock on the door outside the house.

Sleepy-eyed, he got up from the couch and went to the door and opened it.

As soon as the door opened, Hu Hai walked in anxiously, and when he saw Ji Heng's calm appearance, Hu Hai hurriedly said: "Ji Heng, when has this been, how can you still sleep peacefully?" Haven't you heard that in the city? ”

Hear the words.

Ji Heng yawned.

He couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said speechlessly: "What do you say about Yingfu Shouxin?" It has nothing to do with me, so why should I care? ”

Hu Hai was speechless for a while, and said urgently: "Why does this have nothing to do with you?" Do you know what happened to the city after the news broke? All kinds of rumors are coming out one after another, even if the government sends someone to prohibit it, it can't be banned, no matter how these rumors are allowed to spread, how can the world of Great Qin continue to be stable? ”

"Those ideas of yours are going to be in vain."

Then.

A cool breeze blew.

Ji Heng couldn't help but shudder.

It's already cold.

It's the end of November.

It's winter.

Ji Heng ignored Hu Hai, who was chattering in his ears, went directly to his bedroom, put on a velvet coat for himself, and felt a little more temperature in his body, Ji Heng walked to the lobby, he sat on the straw mat with his shoulders strained, and said lightly: "You came here early in the morning for this?" ”

"Isn't that small?" Hu Hai was speechless, and hurriedly said: "Now it has spread all over the city, and there are all kinds of words. ”

"As far as I heard, it is said that this is a warning from the Heavenly Law Enforcement Star to the emperor to kill Confucianism, indicating that there will be disaster generals in the world, and it is also said that Daqin's political affairs are too brutal, which has caused the dissatisfaction of the Heavens, so the heavens will punish Daqin, no matter which way it is said, the people in Xianyang City are already panicking."

"How can you not be in a hurry?"

Ji Heng yawned again and sneered, "What's the use of being in a hurry?" The mouth of the people is more important than the Sichuan, this is a change in the stars, for the attention of the world, and it can be blocked, since it can't be blocked, what role does it play in this anxious fire? Can we still bring peace to the world? ”

Hear the words.

Hu Hai's face was full of anxiety.

He just couldn't calm down.

He said urgently: "Ji Heng, you were so smart in the past, can you deal with the current situation?" ”

Ji Heng's eyes were slightly closed, and he didn't answer positively, but said calmly: "Yingfu is one of the five stars of the celestial phenomena, and the five stars of this celestial phenomenon are Taibai (Venus), Suixing (Jupiter), Chenxing (Mercury), Yingfu (Mars), and Filling Star (Saturn). ”

"Among them, the three walls are crape myrtle wall, Taiwei wall, and Tianshi wall, that is, the three star areas."

"The twenty-eight Nakshatras are the twenty-eight star regions in the sky that are relatively stationary, because the rest of the stars often enter these star regions in different paths, or live or walk into the journey to rest, so they are called Su, also called She, of course, if you make a general distinction, it can also be divided into four subordinate regions, that is, the so-called Eastern Green Dragon, Western White Tiger, Southern Vermilion Bird, and Northern Xuanwu."

"Since the beginning of the Warring States Period, astrology in all parts of the world has unanimously recognized the Antares as the 'Ming Hall' in the sky, and the Ming Hall in the world is the temple of the Son of Heaven in announcing politics and religion."

"Yingfu guards the heart, and it is also regarded as a god manifesting in this Ming Hall."

"Most of them are considered to be displeased with the rulers and to punish them."

"Therefore, the disillusionment is seen as a harbinger of heavenly calamity."

Hearing Ji Heng say so clearly and clearly about the situation of Yingfu Shouxin, Hu Hai was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what was going on when he heard that Yingfu Shouxin, and he specially asked Wu Zhu in the palace, after Wu Zhu explained several times, he could understand what he meant, how did Ji Heng know?

The science of astrology is forbidden in the world!

Hu Haihu looked at Ji Heng suspiciously, and said incomprehensibly: "Since you know so much about this matter, why don't you feel panicked at all?" ”

"This is a disaster from heaven!"

Hear the words.

Ji Heng couldn't help laughing.

Disaster from heaven?

Human beings are too small compared to the universe, how can the heavens alone bring calamity to man?

But he also knew why Hu Hai was so worried.

In the thousands of years of Chinese history, the monarchy and the divine power have been contending, but in the previous one or two thousand years, the divine power was dominant, and also from the Shang Dynasty, the divine power was gradually suppressed by the monarchy, and by the time of the Zhou Dynasty, it had directly evolved into the monarch's heavenly endowment, and the doctrine of heaven and man induction, the Son of Heaven was the embodiment of the gods in the world.

This is also the origin of the Son of Heaven.

The rulers of the Zhou dynasty hoped that they could consolidate their royal power through divine power.

Come to think of this.

A few words suddenly appeared in Ji Heng's mind.

The primordial is the beginning of qi, the beginning of the beginning, the beginning of form, the birth of vitality, and the ancestor of all things.

The meaning of this sentence is actually to prove the existence of the gods, that is, the sky above our heads, which is the supreme god of this world, and the earth is the 'wife' of the sky, and the sky and the earth together used the five elements to create human beings and plan the development of the entire human world.

Since the sky is a god, all the natural phenomena in this world are also combined with the will of the god of the sky.

The emperor who rules the world is the one appointed by the sky to control the world.

And this set of theories was later inherited and developed by Dong Zhongshu in the Han Dynasty, heaven and man are one, so there will be a sense of heaven and man between each other, and the people must follow the will of heaven to help heaven, that is, to help the emperor and maintain the rule of royal power.

Although Qin did not directly inherit this theory, he has been deeply influenced by it.

At the same time, there was a follow-up Mount Tai Feng Zen.

There is also a well-known jade seal of 'ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity'.

Although the first emperor expelled Confucianism from the court, the doctrine of heavenly authority and heavenly and human induction inherited and carried forward by Confucianism has always been popular in the world and has been influencing Great Qin.

Even this set of theories was actively accepted by the rulers.

Because in ancient times, natural disasters often determined the life and death of the people, that is, once the monarchy and divine power were bound, it was easy to affect the people at the bottom, and at the same time, it was easy for the people at the bottom to accept, if they did not maintain the rule of the king's power, there would be many disasters, resulting in no food in the world and no livelihood for the people.

That's why this set of theories has endured since it appeared.

Even the state of Qin, a relatively pragmatic country, has been imperceptibly affected.

It's all about better ruling the people.

Even if Confucianism was expelled from the court, some of the things inherited by Confucianism still existed within the Qin court, but from the so-called Confucianism, it became a scholar, a witch, an astrologer and other titles, and this is what he said before in prison, who in the world does not understand Confucianism?

Law is Confucianism.

Others are also 'Confucian'!

It's just a difference between the inside and the outside.

Although Qin suppressed the theory of gods and ghosts from the beginning of Shang Ying, but the theory of gods and ghosts, after all, has been circulated for thousands of years, and obscenity has emerged in an endless stream in various places, and finally Qin still made a compromise on this and acquiesced in the existence of some gods and ghosts, but to be officially recognized, it is precisely because of this that divination and other related books have been circulated in the world, not only in Qin, but also in other vassal states in the world, and even all countries in the world have their own "Book of Days" in the future.

Each country has a group of 'Japanese' who specialize in this area.

For this situation, Ji Heng's first few lives, in fact, scoffed at this, but after several lifetimes of reincarnation, but gradually understood the reason, not so much 'feudal superstition', in fact, it is not the reflection of the social reality at that time, the low productivity and living standards, and the long-term war caused by the people's lack of livelihood, is the fundamental reason why the people believe in taboos.

For example, if you give birth to a child and die just after birth, if you get a serious illness, you will be gone, and if you go far away, you will be killed, and you will stay at home, or disaster may fall from the sky, people do not understand the root cause, and there is no way to escape these natural and man-made disasters, so you can only count the root cause of all suffering to the supernatural mysterious force, and seek an alternative sustenance outside of reality.

In this case, the theory of gods and ghosts is naturally popular.

Ultimately.

After all, it is a kind of helpless self-deception.

And today's people at the bottom are superstitious, and the rulers are also convinced of it.

Don't ask the common people to ask the ghosts and gods.

This has been the norm in China for thousands of years.

In the reincarnation of the Ninth Dynasty, Ji Heng actually tried to make changes, but the results were miserable, and he was attacked by the whole world, which not only attracted criticism from the courtiers, but also was attacked by the people at the bottom.

But the Qin dynasty may be an exception.

Because Qin is the law!

Compared with other countries, Qin was more pragmatic and relatively materialistic, and although it was also superstitious about gods and ghosts, it was not as unquestionable as other dynasties.

Come to think of this.

Ji Heng's eyes flickered slightly.

But soon the strangeness was hidden.

Ji Heng said lightly: "Did you just listen to how I explained?" ”

"It's a natural change of the stars."

Seeing that Hu Hai didn't react, Ji Heng rubbed his forehead, he also knew that in this era of 'gods and ghosts', it was actually difficult for some strong people to let Hu Hai accept that this was the natural operation of the celestial bodies, so he didn't say much about it, but just said: "In fact, in my opinion, this statement is not very important. ”

"The important thing is whether the First Emperor believes it or not."

Hear the words.

Hu Hai is a spirit.

His face became serious, but his expression was a little uncertain, and he asked with a little hesitation, "Do you think Your Majesty will believe it?" ”

"Yes!" Ji Heng cut the opening categorically.

The corners of Hu Hai's mouth twitched.

He also thought that Ji Heng would say something else.

Isn't that the same as it is now?

Ji Heng ignored Hu Hai's white eyes.

He's sure.

The first emperor believed in history.

And after Yingfu guarded his heart, there were two strange things in the world, one was a meteorite inscription, and the other was a jade wall fished out of Chu Shui.

Historically, after these two incidents, the First Emperor obviously felt great pressure, and after the meteorite inscription, he directly ordered to kill the people of the surrounding ten miles, cut down trees and burn the mountains, which shows that the First Emperor was afraid of these proverbs, and even did not hesitate to kill them, but also to reduce the influence of this matter.

It's just not very effective.

Daqin is the first month of October, and it is now the end of November.

It has entered the thirty-sixth year of the first emperor.

It has only been a year since the first emperor died of illness in history, and if Ji Heng is not mistaken, these few things in his memory all appeared in this year, and it is precisely because of so many proverbs and prophecies that the first emperor is deeply disturbed, and in the end, even if he drags his sick body, he will start the fifth world parade, in order to continue to calm the world like in the past.

It's a pity that with the death of the sand dunes, everything ended in the end.

Moreover, the first emperor has always secretly agreed with the divine grant of monarchy, otherwise he would not have recruited a large number of Confucian doctors when he founded the country, and when formulating the regulations, he made things like national fortune and national color, and also made out the White Emperor, the Blue Emperor, and the Five Elements.

But like the crown.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

If you want to enjoy the benefits of the divine right of the king, you naturally have to bear the 'wrath' of the heavens.

Hu Hai said: "Is there really no way to have both? ”

"Even you can't do anything about it?"

Hu Hai was a little unconvinced.

Ji Hengda smiled: "I'm just a mortal fetus, how can I compete with the sky?" ”

"And this mysterious thing, sometimes it's not easy to say, in the final analysis, what will evolve in the end is in the hands of the first emperor."

"If the first emperor doesn't believe it, how much impact can the so-called Yingfu Shouxin have on the world? It's just a few more gossip, and it will eventually calm down, but if the first emperor believes it, he has his own solution to the letter, and the right to interpret such astrological theories has always been at the top? ”

"You don't have to worry so much."

"As the saying goes, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth."

"The boat is naturally straight to the bridge."

"Even if this matter is in a state of uproar in the world, a solution will be found in the end, but whether this so-called disaster will become a real natural disaster or a man-made disaster depends on the court's disposal method."

"It has nothing to do with me."

After speaking.

Ji Heng stretched his waist and went directly to the back kitchen.

He's going to prepare his breakfast.

Hu Hai looked at Ji Heng suspiciously, he felt that Ji Heng was not telling the truth, Ji Heng probably thought of a solution, but he didn't want to tell himself, he paced back and forth in the room for a long time, and finally waved his sleeves and didn't ask any more questions.

Hu Hai left not long after.

Childe and others also came one after another.

They all wanted to seek a solution to Ji Heng's vision.

on this.

Ji Heng also treats everyone equally.

The key to solving the problem lies with the First Emperor.

After sending the princes away one after another, Ji Heng's small courtyard was quiet.

He sat leisurely on the recliner and covered his body with a thick layer of fur, and he had a deeper understanding of Cao Cao's long song at this time.

He hummed softly.

"When you sing about wine, life is geometric, such as morning dew, and there are many bitter days in the past."

"Aren't these sentences a true portrayal of reality?"

"It's just the First Emperor."

"You've come to the crossroads of fate after all."

"And what will you choose this time?"

"As in the past, I still wield my sword to fight the clouds."
