Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 266 This is the battle between pragmatic yin and yang! (Please subscribe)

early december.

A major ideological argument involving the fundamentals of China has officially begun.

Except for Zhao Tuo who was far away in the South China Sea and Wang Li in the northern Xinjiang and other generals, all the ministers serving in the court had arrived in the palace.

The scale this time is equally unprecedented.

In the main hall, there is a special place for princes under the emperor's steps. More than a dozen princes are all present in the court. The solemn and spacious main hall is dark and there are more than [-] people in total. Snowflakes are floating outside the hall, and everyone seems to be like the weather, with very expressions. Serious and unsmiling.

As the drum beats, the clock sounds.

The imperial chariot was slowly pushed out with repeated long calls.

The First Emperor, with his crown and sword, steadily ascended to the throne, and today's imperial meeting officially began.

"Everyone, the Qin Dynasty is peaceful now, but there are sudden celestial phenomena in the sky and the earth, and the people of the country are panicked. A few days ago, the first meeting has been issued, and the various government offices have generally made it clear what they are discussing. To sum up, there are still two points in charge. Today, the DPRK, I have made a decision by surrendering my marriage. The court will discuss affairs and will not avoid differences. You can just say what you say."

The voice just fell.

The whole hall was filled with silence.

It was the middle of winter, the weather was cold, all the doors and windows were closed, and charcoal fires were burning in the main hall. Compared to the cold outside, the inside of the hall was unusually warm.

Be quiet.

"My lord, Mr. Liang Xianggong has something to say." Mr. Liang Xianggong, the wizard in the civil ministerial district in the west, proudly said: "Any principle of cultivating one's mind and nurturing one's nature can only be understood by the gods, and the opportunity of heaven and man's induction can be used to deal with sudden changes in life and death. Complete the book."

"Heaven and man become one!"

"I believe that heaven and humans are of the same kind and can interact with each other. Heaven can intervene in human affairs, and humans can also interact with heaven."

"I thought it was a response from heaven and man."

"The theory of the connection between heaven and man originates from "Shang Shu·Hong Fan"."

"Hong Fan" says: it is Su, Shi Yuruo; it is Yi, Shi Yangruo; it is clear, Shi Yanruo; it is Mou, Shi Hanruo; it is Sheng, Shi Fengruo. It is called Jiuzheng: it is Kuang, Hengruo. "Yu Ruo"; "Yu Ruo", "Heng Yang Ruo"; "Yu Yu", "Heng Li Ruo"; "Jiu", "Heng Han Ruo"; "Meng Meng", Heng Feng Ruo."

"The meaning is simple and clear."

"The monarch's governance attitude can affect weather changes."

"Right punishment and virtue serve heaven."

"There is a reciprocal relationship between heaven and man. Human actions will be reflected in heaven. Heaven will respond to humans based on the good, evil and evil of human actions. The way the world responds to humans is to use disasters and anomalies to condemn humans and make them miserable. People reflect and change.”

"This time Yinghuo Shouxin is a punishment from God."

"Your Majesty, please learn from me."

Done.

The good minister calmly sat back down.

He was already seventy years old and had faded away from the court in the past few years. However, he was shocked to hear that this court meeting was rare for him to go to court and reveal all his thoughts. The words of Mr. Liang also attracted the attention of the ministers present.

A good husband is extraordinary.

It's a wizard.

In the past, the dismantling of prophecies was very effective, so he had a transcendent status in the court. For example, when the princes such as Fusu and Hu Hai were born and named, the First Emperor asked Prime Minister Liang for his opinion.

Now that Mr. Liang is the first to speak, it also makes many people feel confused.

Although his remarks did not directly say that the celestial phenomena were dissatisfied with the Qin Dynasty, the implication was very clear, which attributed the celestial phenomena to the improper governance of the First Emperor.

With the special status of the Prime Minister speaking openly, other Japanese star officials have expressed their opinions.

"When a country is about to prosper, there must be auspiciousness; when a country is about to perish, there must be monsters. See the turtle moving around its four limbs."

"A family with good deeds will have celebrations, and a family with bad deeds will have disasters."

"God has the virtue of good life."

"."

a time.

The hall was filled with all kinds of echoes.

Zhang Cang was sitting in the palace. He looked around and saw that no one spoke to refute. He frowned, thought for a moment, and chose to stand up. He bowed and said, "I have different opinions on "Hong Fan"."

"I believe that "Hong Fan" does not believe that there is a connection between heaven and man in the world."

"It's about opposing the idea."

""Hong Fan" is an article in "Shang Shu·Zhou Shu". It mainly uses the Five Elements Theory to explain the changes and movements of nature and society. However, after reading this article, I did not feel that what it proposed was 'influence between heaven and man'. ’, but it’s more like ‘Heaven and man are separated’.”

"The Five Elements are what God decrees for all things."

"The five elements are used by the heaven and earth, water is used to create it, fire is used to transform it, wood is used to create it, metal is used to create it, and earth is used to harmonize it...this is why all things are made."

“The five elements are things, their time, their position, their materials, their aura, their nature, their shapes, their things, their emotions, their colors, their sounds, their odors, and their tastes, all of which are coupled and dispersed. It is all-encompassing. One is soft and the other is hard, one is dark and the other is bright, there is good and evil, beauty and evil, ugly and good, bad and good, the principles of life and fate, and the nature of morality are all here."

"That is to say, 'you have a coupling' and 'you have a pair' are universal. They run through people and everything in the world, and determine the infinite changes of things."

"For this universality, I think it is more in line with the Taoist 'Tao'!"

"This Tao is an objective law. Whether it is nature or society, it is actually governed by 'Tao'."

"If all things in heaven and earth are not in their usual state, then it is appropriate to be afraid and cautious."

"Nowadays, some people may think that the changes in the sky must be caused by my own sins, or they may think that the disasters are caused by the heavens. Why bother me? I just know how to fix human affairs. If you say it from the front, it will be covered up, and it will be covered from the back. It is said that those who are solid but lazy, not covering up and not being lazy, not solid but not lazy, are also afraid of the change of heaven. If there is a certain change in heaven, it must come to me because of something. It is also based on the righteousness of the world. It’s just a test of my mistakes.”

"So I think what Liang Xianggong said is wrong. An article in "Hong Fan" clearly said that people should comply with objective laws and 'follow the way of heaven and become human nature'."

"More importantly, we must 'cultivate human affairs to defeat heaven'!"

"Heaven and man are not compatible."

At this time.

A sudden sneer came from Wenchen District.

"What Zhang Yushi said is wrong. As the saying goes, Heaven's heart is the people's heart, and God's will is the public opinion."

"Heaven and man are in harmony with each other, and yin and yang are in harmony."

Zhou Qingchen left his desk and stood in the open space. Although his face looked a little old, his spirit was still strong.

He bowed respectfully to the First Emperor and said in a loud voice: "In these years, I have been keeping records and books, and I have considered what I have done in my previous life to see how heaven and man interact with each other. It is very scary. The country will suffer the consequences of immorality. However, Heaven first sends out disasters to warn them, but does not know how to introspect itself, and then sends out weird things to warn and fear them. It does not know how to change, and then it even hurts and defeats them. This shows that Heaven is benevolent in its heart and wants to stop chaos."

"...In later generations, when the prostitutes are weak and unable to govern all living beings, the princes have their backs, killing thieves and good people to fight for the soil, abolishing moral education and subjecting them to punishment. If the punishment is not met, evil will arise; the evil will accumulate below, and resent the evil animals. Up. If there is disharmony between up and down, then the yin and yang will be intertwined and evildoers will be born. This disaster arises from a different origin."

"Mozi said: Those who love and benefit others will be blessed by Heaven; those who are evil and treason will be punished by Heaven."

"It can be seen from this that one must be reverent and reverential to Heaven, just as one must be cautious in serving the Lord. If one is not careful in serving the Lord, the disaster will come in the most obvious way; if one does not fear and respect Heaven, the disaster will come in the darkest way. If one cannot see the root of the darkness, then It is natural. Therefore, it is said: The hall is like the sky, and there is no need to set up a school to express disaster. It is silent and silent, latent and invisible. From this point of view, the difference between heaven's disaster and the main punishment is that it is dark and obvious."

talking.

Zhou Qingchen showed a hint of arrogance.

He served as a doctor's servant.

In the past two years, a large number of doctors fled from the Doctor's Academy, and the Doctor's Academy existed in name only. He, a doctor's servant, eventually became a polished commander, but Zhou Qingchen was not willing to die like this, and has been studying various history books, and This celestial battle undoubtedly gave Zhou Qingchen hope again.

He hoped to regain the trust of the First Emperor.

Therefore, I have been immersed in books these past few days, and finally combined the Confucian theory of describing disasters and the way of heaven with the Mohist theory of natural punishment, and inspired the theory of the induction of heaven and man to a further step.

Heaven is the supreme personal god. Once the monarch violates Heaven's will and is unjust and unjust, Heaven will appear disasters to condemn and warn; if the government is harmonious and people are harmonious, Heaven will send down auspiciousness to encourage.

He believed.

His words will surely attract the attention of the First Emperor.Moreover, he ingeniously combined the heaven and the monarch into one, and found a theoretical basis for the emperor's position and rule. Now that the concept of heaven and man's induction is very complete, how could the First Emperor not entrust him with such a heavy responsibility if he valued the world so much? ?

Think of this.

Zhou Qingchen was also quite excited.

As soon as Zhou Qingchen's words came out, the hall became quiet again.

The good-looking prime minister, who originally looked a little ugly, now smiled.

he knows.

One's own side is already confident of victory.

The theory of telepathy between heaven and man has been around for a long time. With the spread of prophecy theory over the years, this theory has become more and more accepted by the world. This is also the reason why this time Yinghuo Shouxin can cause panic in the whole country.

Liang Xianggong had actually expected this big fight.

This is inevitable in the world.

There is a strange phenomenon in the age of great strife.

When the trend of truth-seeking is strongest, it often means that the Yin-Yang theory is at its most prosperous, and the two contradict but go hand in hand. Now as the world is unified, the trend of truth-seeking and the Yin-Yang theory are destined to differentiate themselves. This will also be the dividing line in the world's thinking in the future. .

However, according to Mr. Liang’s prediction, this big fight came too quickly.

Even surprisingly fast.

Because the current situation in the world is far from the peak of conflict.

Logically speaking, it's not yet time.

Especially in the past, the Qin State was more pragmatic, while the Guandong style was more yin and yang. Although the two were in conflict, no real conflict broke out. Therefore, in his past expectations, he did not expect it to happen so early, but he did not care.

Because victory or defeat is determined.

At that time, as the Confucians and alchemists were expelled from the imperial court, the Yin-Yang theory had become popular in the court. The mainstream forms of Yin-Yang theory generally included Yin-Yang and the Five Elements, astronomical legislative deductions, astrology (cloud divination, qi divination, and weather divination), and divination (tortoise, divination, etc.). There are six major schools including Yicao Zhen, Qian Zhen, etc.), Kanyu, and Xiangren.

However, the Yin Yang family is different from other schools. The major schools are very united with each other.

With mutual assistance, the Yin Yang family's status in the court was not low.

Whether it is the government or the people, all the omens put forward by the Yin and Yang schools are regarded as important evidence of national and family affairs. Once there is a prophecy, it can quickly spread.

Otherwise.

Qin finally had a pragmatic style.

The evidence is a reference to the evidence, but it is not entirely believed.

Therefore, the Yin Yang family has a certain status in the court, but its status is somewhat inferior.

However, precisely because of this, Qin has formed a very strange style, which is based on the style of seeking truth, but does not reject mysterious revelations.

For example, when the Qin Dynasty was founded, it publicly announced the fate of water and Germany in the form of regulations, burned books but not burned divination books, and regarded divination books as medicine, tree planting, and other equivalent practical knowledge.

But Mr. Liang knew it well.

After all, pragmatism and the wind of yin and yang are in conflict with each other, and they are destined to conflict.

Therefore, the Yin Yang family has been working secretly.

This is also why various prophecies concocted by the nobles of the Six Kingdoms and the alchemists and Confucian scholars, such as "Hu Ye is the one who will destroy Qin", "Ancestor Dragon will die next year", "The First Emperor will die and the land will be divided", "Although Chu has three households, Qin will be destroyed by Chu", etc., etc., can be very effective. Soon it spread all over the world.

Among them, there are also Yin and Yang families who are adding fuel to the flames.

They need to use these mysterious and apocalyptic prophecies to disturb the world, and then further expand their status in the court, and at the same time make the court rely on them to a certain extent, even to the extent that they must rely heavily on them.

Think of this.

Liang Xianggong glanced at Zhang Cang imperceptibly for a few times, and then moved on to Li Simengtian and a few other people. The most troublesome people among the civil and military ministers of the dynasty were these legalists and military figures.

Law is the most pragmatic.

And Qin's law pays more attention to being reasonable and well-founded.

So these legalists and military figures were the focus of the controversy in the court. As for the other ministers, he actually didn't care. They were at opposite ends of the spectrum. Whoever wins, they help, only they and the Legalists are the same. The dispute must be fought to the end.

immediately.

Liang Xianggong seemed to have thought of something.

His eyes slowly moved to His Highness's princely quarters.

He stared closely at Fusu. As the prince of Qin, Fusu had considerable influence in the court. If Fusu spoke, it might affect the courtiers' decision.

but
Great Qin has not banned the Yin and Yang lineage from the beginning, which actually shows some attitude.

Therefore, Mr. Liang’s heart was still very stable.

The general trend is with me!

The good Prime Minister has a determined mind.

The old god sat upright without looking around anymore.

At this time.

Seeing that the situation in the palace was one-sided.

Fusu couldn't sit still, but he couldn't let the situation collapse.

He stood up and said, "To inform my father, I think what Dr. Pushe said is wrong."

"The child is silent and strange."

"The Book of Documents is a Confucian classic, so why would you support the theory that strange powers can confuse gods?"

"Furthermore."

"I, Fusu, used to be obsessed with Confucianism and had some understanding of Confucian books. If I remember correctly, Confucius clearly emphasized that 'there is nothing to pray for when you have sinned against heaven.' If it was really a disaster sent by heaven, how could it be so? Can ordinary people stop it? What's more, you can win the forgiveness of the gods by relying on the so-called prayers and sacrifices."

"How absurd this statement is!"

"As for the will of heaven and earth in your words, this is even more absurd."

"Why should the naturalness of heaven be the mouth and eyes of heavenly things?"

"How can we know the mouth and eyes of heavenly things?"

“Know it from the ground!”

"But the heaven and the earth hold thousands of hands and contain thousands of living things?"

"In Fusu's view, the sky is above, the earth is below, the lower air is steaming up, the upper air is descending, and all things are born in the middle."

"The way of heaven is natural, without action."

"If it can be condemned, it is intentional and unnatural."

"If, as Dr. Pushe said, everything is ordered by God, why did God not give birth to leaders like Yao and Shun in the past, but instead gave birth to 'mediocre kings' who were 'immoral and derelict'? And then condemned them? "

"Isn't this unnecessary?"

　There is one more chapter, let’s get up and read it tomorrow.

　　Today I shouldn’t have made the second update so late, but I was unlucky. I went out to get a haircut and was left hanging, causing me to catch a cold.

　　The thief is depressed.

　　Hey!
