Three hundred and sixty-one smashing witchcraft (3)
When the emperor was happy, he immediately became very happy and said to Zhang Yue: "You are kind to you, I think it's true!"
In his heart, he hummed a few times, thinking proudly: "I should have known it long ago. I am the emperor, and the great power of heaven and earth is added to my body. I speak with the Dharma. Immortals, gods and demons will kneel down to welcome me when I see me!"
However, I still feel puzzled.
So he asked, "But, according to your opinion, the ancient sage kings had great power on their own, so why could no one be promoted to immortality since Huangdi?"
Immortality and immortality are his unswerving pursuit in this life.
At least for now, his pursuit of immortality is still firm.
Zhang Yue listened, but sighed in his heart.
Every king is an extremely selfish person.
Especially the emperors of the Liu family in the Han Dynasty.
Today, this man and his fathers and grandparents.
Back then, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen even had a story about "I feel pitiful in front of the seat in the middle of the night, and I don't ask the people about ghosts and gods."
His favorite minister Deng Tong was the first financial oligarch in history.
He and King Liu Bi of Wu once dominated the Han family's finances, claiming to be the world's minting coins and sharing them with King Wu.
Another emperor who created the Wenjing reign, the former emperor Xiaojing, was more selfish than Nai's father.
The whole world is just a chess piece in his hands.
Private affairs do not exist!
For the sake of the world, he could even kill his son, and for the sake of the world, he could even use his younger brother and mother.
However, these two kings worked together to create the most famous prosperous literary and Jing rule in Chinese feudal history.
During their reign, the world was prosperous, the people lived a healthy life, and there were few famines and disasters.
So the country has spared its strength to build a powerful Han cavalry cluster that expels the Huns in today's war!
Speaking of which, compared with his father and grandfather, this person today is actually quite warm.
At least this emperor has a private relationship, and he will also think of private relationships.
This is much easier to serve than his father and grandfather.
only……
"I did this so much that Dong Zhongshu worked hard for most of his life..." Zhang Yue sighed slightly in his heart, feeling a little sorry for the 'teacher' who was already worried.
One of Dong Zhongshu's greatest achievements during his lifetime was that he allowed the world to accept his theory of disasters and set a precedent for prophecy and taboo politics.
In fact, his idea is not wrong.
Because at that time, the power of the Han kings was neither restricted by law nor controlled by anyone.
Theoretically, the emperor of the Han Dynasty was supreme, and life and death were taken away by one mind.
Do whatever you want.
In fact, the same is true.
Today, over the years, I have cultivated palaces, fought against the Huns, and sought immortals. I have been extravagant.
Who can dissuade and who can restrain?
Therefore, Dong Zhongshu tried his best to build a cage for Jun Quan and locked up.
Therefore, based on the theory of induction of heaven and man, the theory of disasters and strangeness was expounded.
According to Dong Zhongshu's explanation, the so-called "If things in heaven and earth have inconsistent changes, it is called different, and the small ones are called disasters. Disasters often come first, and differences follow." Disasters and differences are the warnings of heaven to man and kings, as the saying goes, "Disasters are the condemnation of heaven, and differences are the power of heaven."
If there is a disaster, the king should immediately reflect on himself, find the reasons why God condemned him or even deterred him, and correct his mistakes.
For this reason, Dong Zhongshu once said earnestly: When heaven and man are in harmony, it is very fearful! The country will suffer a defeat, and the heaven will first cause disasters to be criticized. He does not know how to reflect on himself, and he is afraid of it with strangeness. He still does not know how to change, but he will be injured and even lose!
This means that disasters must be because the king did something wrong, and strange things happen because the king did something wrong. If the king still remains stubborn after disasters and weird things happen, then God will destroy his country and country, and establish a new dynasty that can command the people and administer on behalf of heaven.
By the way, Dong Zhongshu's Gongyang School is the only school among all Confucian schools that publicly promotes that "if the emperor cannot perform his duties, his legitimacy will be lost."
It's just a pity that this theory is useless.
The unlimited power of a king is not something that can be locked up in a cage.
Moreover, even if it can be successful, its disadvantages far exceed the interests.
In the era when prophecies and taboos were prevalent, people were full of fear of various natural disasters and even dared not resist them.
In the Tang Dynasty, there were stories of people who did not dare to hunt locusts but instead sacrificed and prayed for them.
This greatly hindered the progress of the Xia civilization and the development of social productivity. The elites of the country were busy studying feudal superstitions. Who would care about government affairs?
So Zhang Yue knew that Dong Zhongshu's trick must be abandoned.
There must be a more positive set of methods that are easier to accept by the rulers.
Listening to the emperor's words, Zhang Yue thought for a moment and replied: "Under Taiyi's command, the Five Emperors and Eight Lords, are all the names of capable ministers of the previous kings. They are still blood-four sacrifices, and are hanging in the world! How could Your Majesty say that the Yellow Emperor Feixian is the only one?"
The emperor was stunned when he heard this.
He is a master of immortal cultivation and is naturally not unfamiliar with the Five Emperors and Eight Lords.
But he had never thought about this problem before.
It was not until Zhang Yue reminded him that he suddenly realized.
yes!
Taiyi (the incarnation of heaven in the Han Dynasty, the Supreme Emperor of Heaven) had five emperors under his command, and the eight lords were shuttled through the mysterious yellow of the past and the future.
All of the five emperors are incarnations of ancient kings.
The eight masters (heaven, earth, yin, yang, sun, moon, four seasons, soldiers) are also famous and surnamed ancestors or ministers of the previous kings.
Following this idea, and looking at the names and origins of various gods that are popular today, the emperor was shocked to find that they were all the previous kings, ancestors, famous ministers or heroes in history books!
For example, Du Bo, who is believed in Guanzhong, is a minister of King Xuan.
This is also the terrifying thing about the original beliefs of the Xia peoples.
Almost all gods were upgraded after their deaths by the people and the mortals in the world.
If anyone plans to come to the Han family of this era to promote the people who are guilty of you, they will most likely be beaten into pieces by the local people, or even cut into parts!
I am a noble man of heaven and born noble! How dare you curse my father and grandfather? Go to die! Spicy chicken!
"With your opinion, how can I be like the Five Emperors and Eight Lords?" The emperor was really unable to suppress himself at this moment. He felt that he was approaching the truth.
"I am stupid, how can I know the true meaning of this?" Zhang Yue bowed his head and bowed. He knew very well that something was meaningless to say.
Only those who are mentally repaired can make people convinced.
And all he said was that, the mind-blowing ability of His Majesty was enough to make him think about the "truth" in it.
Sure enough, the emperor was so energetic that his mind suddenly opened up. Some of the things that Dong Zhongshu had told him, as well as the words that Li Shaojun and the God Lord occasionally revealed when they were there.
These things were instantly connected by him.
