Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 260 The truth behind the celestial phenomenon! ! ! (Please subscribe)

Ji Heng put the wine pot on the table and said with a deep expression: "There is a way to believe in faith, and it is easier to calm down than others."

He did not have any hidden thoughts, and said straightforwardly: "Nowadays, various dissects are indeed spreading among the people, but most of them can only be regarded as attachments of all parties. Most of the so-called rumors that pervade the world cannot withstand scrutiny. Since ancient times, Since then, the heavenly astrology has been controlled in the temple, and only very few outsiders know about it."

"Although the current wind direction in Xianyang City is mostly believed to be a warning from heaven's law enforcement stars to the Qin Dynasty, and the city is also full of rumors that disasters will befall the Qin Dynasty, but as far as I know, this time the celestial phenomena are divided into Yuzhou, one of the ancient nine states, so that's not impossible. He became a guest of the Law Enforcement Star of Heaven against Da Qin. Otherwise, why would Yinghuo not appear in Qisu in the West, but only in Xinsu in Central Plains?"

"It's because the Six Kingdoms of the Central Plains have the most nobles and the most restorers."

"This may not be a sign of God's dissatisfaction with the restorers."

heard.

Ying Zheng's eyes were slightly different.

This statement is quite novel.

And there is indeed some truth to it. The celestial division fell in the old Han, Wei, Northern Chu and other places, not in Qin. It was just that after Qin unified the world, he only had the world in his heart, and he had already regarded the land of the world as Qin. But after Ji Heng When he said this, he immediately realized that Da Qin could completely do the opposite and turn these ominous phenomena into auspicious ones.

Ying Zheng was thinking secretly in his heart.

Ji Heng did not stop there. He stood up slowly, looked at the dark night, and said indifferently: "The Yin Yang family is the best in the world at dismantling it. The Japanese are all under the control of the imperial court. Da Qin can completely follow the same method and compile a family." The first poem to decipher this trick."

"Yinghuo guards the heart, and the Dharma star appears."

"It is dark and dark, and fire is used to relieve the yin."

"How can the land be divided by the heavens of counties and counties?"

"There is only calamity and calamity, all the cuteness in this world!"

After hearing the poem compiled by Ji Heng, Ying Zheng's eyes became brighter and brighter.

This poem is very exquisite.

Fire is used to help Yin, Qin is water virtue and Yin is flat, Yinghuo belongs to fire, doesn't water and fire help each other?

When water and fire complement each other, isn't it more powerful?
The last sentence is the finishing touch. Now the world is panicking that disaster will fall on ordinary Guizhou leaders, but this sentence directly refers to the so-called disaster falling on the hereditary nobles.

If the people heard about these dismantlings, as long as they were slightly provoked, they would turn around and curse the nobles of the Six Nations for harming the people. At that time, he would issue a decree to encourage local counties to report clues about the escaped nobles. Who would not report the nobles of the Six Nations? If he kills anyone, and at the same time expresses the law of sitting together, won't the nobles of the six countries be frightened and uneasy?

Until then.

The possible turmoil in the world may also be a help to Qin.

Thinking of this.

Ying Zheng's mind completely calmed down.

immediately.

He looked at Ji Heng solemnly, feeling more and more that Ji Heng was unfathomable. Ji Heng seemed to know too much about these things, and he could see them too clearly. Even the important officials of the imperial court avoided matters involving Yinghuo Shouxin. Unfortunately, I couldn't think of any good solution, but not Ji Heng. He seemed to have already thought of how to solve it.

Such a plan is truly terrifying.

Even Ying Zheng felt a little creepy.

Ji Heng is so smart.

So smart that it's a little scary.

It seems that nothing in the world can trouble Ji Heng and he can easily find a solution for him.

Ying Zheng also stood up from the seat.

He said solemnly: "You make me a little scared."

Ji Heng chuckled lightly, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, and said lightly: "Maybe a little bit, after all, in today's era of magic and magic, being able to easily change the world's public opinion is indeed a bit chilling, but in fact it is just the authorities who are confused, and the bystanders are clear. .”

"The authorities are obsessed with it?" Ying Zheng frowned.

Ji Heng stood with his hands behind his hands and said calmly, "You are indeed a fan of the authorities. You are in the whirlpool of the world, and you are still in the center of this whirlpool. No matter how calm you are, you will eventually be affected by this torrent."

"This is also inevitable."

"In this chessboard in the world, once you are in the game, you will be in the game and not know the game."

"You're in the game right now."

"I, Ji Heng, am also in the same situation."

"It's just that you're in the middle of the vortex and I'm on the edge of the board."

"You and I see different scenery."

Listening to Ji Heng's words, Ying Zheng was thoughtful.

He didn't interrupt.

Instead, he listened quietly.

Ji Heng said slowly: "Most people in the world are ignorant, and most people follow what they say. From ancient times to the present, the world has always been superstitious about gods and ghosts, but some people pretend to be gods and ghosts, and the mysterious theories of yin and yang are actually just the helplessness of the world, a kind of seeking outside reality. It’s just another way of sustenance, this is actually human nature, and even everyone cannot avoid it.”

"Most people in the world have been influenced by their ears and eyes since childhood, and most of them believe in the so-called mysterious theory of yin and yang."

"But are there really gods and ghosts in the world?"

"In fact, most people have the answer in mind."

"However, even if you have the power over the world, you still firmly believe in the learning of Yin Yang and the Five Elements. When formulating the founding regulations, you even asked Confucian scholars to come up with so many unconventional things for you. This actually also contains the sustenance of your heart."

"If the emperor is like this, how much more so for ordinary people?"

"It will be even worse."

"It's just." Ji Heng sighed softly, with a bit of melancholy in his eyes, and said slowly: "Using fabricated songs to explain the so-called death of the ancestor dragon, the division of the world, and the so-called rumors about blaming Shi Meng is not a dirty trick. , If things go on like this, Da Qin’s New Deal will become filthy, and it is completely contrary to the ‘faith’ established by Shang Yang’s reforms.”

"Over time."

"Will Qin still be the Great Qin in the hearts of Qin people?"

Ji Heng's voice was not loud.

But deafening.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but remain silent for a while.

Did Shang Yang rely on faith?No, it’s more about being realistic and pragmatic.

This is also what makes Qin different from the princes in the world.

At that time, Shang Yang even scorned the so-called ghosts and gods, and he did not hesitate to suppress them. In Shang Yang's view, the so-called gods are just the transformation of human thoughts. The reason why the gods worshiped by the world can make people awe is that people subconsciously regard themselves as Just take in what you have experienced, and then correlate the good and bad in it with the gods.

This is why the world used to be close to alchemists, but Qin prohibited alchemists from entering the palace.

This actually has a lot to do with Shang Yang.Ying Zheng looked at Ji Heng and asked curiously: "What on earth do you want to say? Could it be that I can change the world if I don't believe it? If the world could really change with my thoughts, how could there be so much chaos in the world?"

Ji Heng shook his head and said calmly: "It's different."

"Shihuang, you still don't understand that the difference between Qin and the past world, or the foundation laid by Shang Yang for Qin, is originally contrary to the secular world. Even if the Qin Dynasty deliberately blends into the secular world and intentionally makes friends with the old system, in its bones the two are inherently different. On the contrary, continuing to pursue the so-called seeking common ground while reserving differences will only make Qin even more lost, and will eventually be abandoned by the Qin people."

"The sky sees itself as the people, and the sky listens to itself and the people."

“This is the path Da Qin wants to take.”

"A path that is completely different from the past world, a path that pays more attention to truth-seeking and pragmatism, and cares more about actual feelings and actual gains, rather than continuing to respect some superstitious and outdated ideas."

"Break and then stand."

"Da Qin needs to take advantage of this Yinghuo Shouxin to establish a set of ideas that is different from the past."

"Rebuild a set of ideas unique to the Qin Dynasty instead of continuing to follow the old ideas of the past. If you continue to allow the old ideas to be in power, even if you, the First Emperor, drive Confucianism out of the court and completely take over the alchemists and Yin Yang family for your own use , in the end Da Qin will still become like the old ideas, because Da Qin was built on a dilapidated foundation, and if it cannot continue, it means failure."

"Failure means being liquidated by counterattack, which will also doom Da Qin's demise."

"And the death will be extremely tragic."

"Maybe you, the First Emperor, don't care. Later generations will write you as a tyrant and a tiger and a wolf, but the Great Qin you established will become a counterexample to the world in the future and will be despised by the world for a long time, even..."

"Forgetting!!!"

Ying Zheng was silent.

It's just that the breathing is slightly heavier.

Ji Heng didn't say anything more.

There is no need to continue talking.

Ying Zheng actually saw many things clearly and had understood them a long time ago, but he always had some luck in his heart, but Da Qin couldn't take any chances.

Break and stand.

The old system has been destroyed and a new system must be established.

Da Qin made a lot of innovations in the system, but made no achievements in the ideological aspect, and even abandoned many of its original characteristics. Once there is no new establishment in the ideological aspect, the old ideas will still prevail, and it is destined to be different from other places in the world. The Qin people have eaten them all, and it will only be a matter of time before the Qin Dynasty is destroyed.

Ying Zheng pondered.

He had never thought about it before.

Otherwise, he would not be so dissatisfied with Fusu, and even intended to expel Confucianism from the court. However, as his health became poor and his energy was not as good as before, he gradually gave up this idea, and he really did not know what kind of new system he should build for Da Qin. In the end, he chose to compromise, and even intentionally began to guide the connection between heaven and man proposed by Confucian scholars.

The purpose is to consolidate the rule of Qin.

a long time.

Ying Zheng turned around and said calmly: "Do you think I still have that time?"

Ji Heng shook his head and said, "No."

"Changes in thinking do not happen overnight. However, although Da Qin also used the divine inspiration proposed by Confucian scholars, it was not so blatant, so there is still a chance for change. If the old ideas are condensed into the divine induction, it will be If it completely becomes a trend in the world and is even accepted by the world, then it will be too late."

Ying Zheng looked at Ji Heng and asked curiously: "Are you so unhappy with the connection between heaven and humans?"

Ji Heng showed hesitation, nodded, shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "The so-called divine right of kings and the induction of heaven and man actually focus on one thing, which is the final right to interpret celestial phenomena. This has been the case since ancient times. Why have celestial phenomena been regarded as taboo in all dynasties and only emperors can touch them?"

"only."

A look of contempt appeared on Ji Heng's lips, and he said lightly: "Is the final right of interpretation really in the hands of the so-called emperor?"

"I know that the imperial court has relevant official offices. The official position of this official office is to observe the celestial phenomena and explain the good and bad fortunes of the celestial phenomena. Therefore, from your own point of view, the First Emperor, the final right to interpret the good or bad of the celestial phenomena is in your own hands, but you, the First Emperor Do you really understand these celestial phenomena?"

"After all, it's just hearsay."

"But these Yin Yang family, magistrates, and Japanese people, will they really tell you the truth?"

A word fell.

Ying Zheng's eyes became very cold.

He said coldly: "What do you mean? How dare they deceive me about these things?"

"Why don't you dare?" Ji Heng said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Shi Huang, don't you find it strange why I am so calm about Yinghuo Shouxin? Not only can I come up with countermeasures early, but I can even guess what has happened in recent months. Will there be other rumors?"

"It's all there for a reason."

"It's just that these truths are hidden by others."

Ying Zheng looked very ugly.

Ji Heng secretly sighed in his heart.

In the past, he had never thought that those high-ranking officials and Japanese officials would be so bold, but after learning about Liu Xin's actions in the late Western Han Dynasty, he immediately understood that these Yin and Yang masters and astronomical observers had actually figured it out very early. The laws of celestial phenomena have even been summarized to a certain extent, but they will not tell Wang Di.

The more knowledgeable a person is in astronomy, the more he will keep secrets from the emperor.

Because they relied on these celestial changes to scare the emperor.

Look, you are unethical again.

Look, this is God warning you.

These people hold the final power to interpret celestial phenomena, so they report to the emperor with fear on the surface, but in their hearts they are always pleased, and they can even criticize the emperor seriously. Isn't this wonderful?
Liu Xin in the late Western Han Dynasty could roughly calculate the patterns of solar and lunar eclipses. The Qin Dynasty was only one or two hundred years earlier than the late Western Han Dynasty. How could these Yin and Yang masters in the Qin Dynasty not understand the patterns of celestial phenomena?Just rely on the celestial phenomena to show self-respect.

Although the world today is superstitious about ghosts and gods, and also believes in heavenly warnings, divination prophecies, and prophecies, after all, it has not been influenced by the "White Tiger Temple Conference" of the Han Dynasty, and it has not completely believed in the induction of heaven and man. The world can still doubt the celestial phenomena, and can still Everyone expresses their own opinions on the celestial phenomena. If this trend of divine power of kings and induction of heaven and man is allowed to continue, sooner or later, Qin will become like the dynasties of later generations.

When that time comes, there is absolutely no way to recover.

There is no way to change it.

Because the concept has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has long been accepted by the world, and after the "White Tiger Temple Conference" in the Han Dynasty, the theory of prophecy has deeply influenced China. This influence still exists even in modern times, and there have even been resurgences. sign.

This is not what Ji Heng wants to see.

He also doesn't want the world to go back to the 'old path' again.

"So what is the truth behind this celestial phenomenon?" Ying Zheng asked.

Ji Heng chuckled, shook his head and said: "Does the truth really matter? If you are the only one who knows it, what can be changed? If you tell too many lies, many people will believe it. You know the truth, but Qin Er , what about the third generation of Qin? As long as the soil of this old thought is not eradicated, this prophecy theory will still swallow up the Qin Dynasty."

"This is why you are waiting for me." Ying Zheng looked at Ji Heng darkly.

Ji Heng smiled and nodded.
