Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 288 Prophecy: Hu is the one who will destroy Qin? (First update! Please subscribe!)

There was only the sound of dripping in the palace, and the ministers stood on the ground, their expressions frozen.

It was almost night in Xianyang at this time, the sky was dark with dusk, and the hall was brightly lit with tall candles and bright lights.

The luminous jade shines brightly in the passage.

Fusu was dressed in white clothes and stood in the palace. He was really handsome and elegant.

Wei Zhuang was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses.

"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness over the years."

The dismissal of the left prime minister was enough to shock both the government and the opposition.

All the ministers present here, when it comes to age, there are not a few who are older than Kai.Seeing that Kai Xiang was dismissed by Ying Zheng on the grounds of being old, everyone else naturally kept silent and did not dare to say more.

More or less gray hair has sprouted out of these people's heads.

Like the withered grass in autumn, being swept by the strong wind with a force of destruction, each of them is in a hurry. Although it has not been broken, it has completely lost its vitality.

Ying Zheng's trick is to set an example to others, and it can be said to be very effective.The faces of the courtiers were covered with a layer of frost, and the atmosphere in the hall was once extremely depressing.

Ying Zheng continued.

"You all will retreat today. In three days, I will ask you to divine the temple to divine the affairs of the country together. There will be no mistakes."

"only."

Everyone dispersed, leaving only Fusu alone in the hall.

Divination?

In history, there are really results of divination and hexagrams about Yingzheng.

What Ying Zheng asked at that time was how long the Great Qin's national destiny could last, because Ying Zheng's wish was to make the Great Qin eternal.

During the Qin Dynasty, besides Ying Zheng, there was another person who also divined the fate of Qin.

That person is Zhang Liang that Fusu has always wanted to find.

Ying Zheng asked an expert to calculate the result, and the conclusion was four words: "Hu is the one who destroyed Qin".I don’t know if this expert’s calculation was accurate. Da Qin finally died at the hands of Hu Hai, but he didn’t say it clearly.Instead, Ying Zheng learned of the news and ordered Meng Tian to attack the Hu people in the north.

The result of Zhang Liang's divination was that the Qin Dynasty died after the First Emperor.

This "Book of Changes" is said to be quite mysterious.Fusu had been very interested in the "Book of Changes" before and specifically asked his professor for advice.

These 64 hexagrams in the "Book of Changes" can be represented by the correspondence between 0 and 1 in later generations.

There is the Book of Changes in the world, which is mysterious and mysterious, but you must not disbelieve it.

Those who truly understand the "Book of Changes" can indeed predict what divination will produce.

After meeting him, Fusu took the initiative to ask.

"My father ordered all his ministers to fast and bathe, and to go to the temple to ask for it. I don't know what you are asking about?"

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu with doubt in his eyes.

"To verify the dream you told me."

Help Su Surong.

Fusu was puzzled as to why the divination was suddenly being held publicly again.

"I often can't sleep peacefully because of that dream. Since the father is determined to test it, he can also solve Fusu's confusion." Ying Zheng stared at Fusu.

What he said was sincere and didn't seem to be false.

"Yes or no, you will know once you test it."

Zhouyi is definitely not a science.But science cannot prove that the existence of Zhouyi is false.

Therefore, let’s call the Zhouyi a pseudoscience.

Use pseudoscience to verify fabricated dreams?
Because the ancients had limited thoughts and concepts, they were very superstitious about ghosts and gods, and were also suspected of blind worship.

The emperor and his ministers all went to the temple to ask for it. This was a big event.

Since Zhou Yi can indeed predict some things, he went to join in the fun.

"However, I believe that those who are not proficient in the "Book of Changes" will get biased results. And those who are proficient in the Book of Changes are more than those in Jingchu Yunmengzhixiangze. Taishi ordered astrology to understand the law, but this divination... "

"What you mean is that Hu Wujing is not enough to predict the fate of Qin's country."

"Exactly, the "Book of Changes" is the first of the group of classics. Those who are familiar with the "Book of Changes" can understand astronomy and geography, and can predict future events. Among hundreds of schools, Taoism and Yin-Yang School can be said to all start from the study of The "Book of Changes" is derived from it. Your Majesty previously summoned hundreds of schools in Xianyang to find a master. It is not difficult for you. I ask your father to call someone who is familiar with the "Book of Changes" to do divination for the country of Qin."

Ying Zheng felt that it was reasonable.

Moreover, Ying Zheng originally felt that Hu Wujing did not look like someone who was proficient in the Book of Changes.

Ying Zheng agreed, and then he looked at Fusu who was deep in thought.

"Compared with whether what you saw in your dream is true, I am now eager to verify another thing."

Ying Zheng looked at Yu Yang.

Yu Yang presented the two maps to Fusu.

When Fusu saw it, he was completely stunned.

There are still people in the world who sell themselves out?

It also happened to him.

There is indeed something wrong with the map in Qinian Palace.

Without the concept of scale, the mapping technology can't even start, it's zero at all.

Dominated by the concept of space in all directions and a sense of superiority, the concept of territory has always been vague.

Almost all maps are only rough approximations.

On the maps that appeared during the same period, their territorial outlines were not even exactly the same.

The ancients were trapped by technological limitations and had no way to survey the world. Coupled with the backwardness of transportation, there were also many factors that hindered regional development due to war.

For the supreme ruler, the most complete map that can be seen is the map of a city.

Many maps were gathered together, and then began to rely on.

Without a scale, problems will naturally arise if you rely on it.

Compared with the actual distance, the territory of Qin on the map is much larger than the territory of the Six Kingdoms. However, the beauty of the other six kingdoms has long been lost, and the territory of the country is naturally smaller in the eyes of the rulers.

As a result, Xianyang as the center emerged as a whole.

But as the doctor said, Ying Zheng indeed has the whole world under his control. As long as all the cities on the map are there, then other problems are not a problem.

Therefore, the situation of dense gathering of some cities in the border areas also appeared.

When Fusu and Wei Zhuang were on Hua Chi Road together earlier, Fusu noticed that there were many problems.However, it was not until the Qing Dynasty that China used Western mapping techniques to map out a complete territorial map.

Fusu didn't want to be troublesome either.

After all, he still has the correct maps of China, climate maps, topographic maps, and crop distribution maps in his mind...

As an out-and-out liberal arts student, understanding and drawing pictures are basic skills.

In addition, there is a world map...

And to open up the road, it is important to connect the city and the four poles to facilitate the march of the army.

Overall, the problem with the map is just a small detail.

After all, even without clear, accurate and complete maps, the people of China have still continued for more than 1000 years.

But the bad thing is that when Fusu made the distribution map of the hundreds of schools of thought, he referred to the longitude and latitude lines and the books on the origins of the schools of thought.

He drew a real map of the current territory of Qin State, including the terrain.

The mountains are painted yellow, the plains are naturally green, and the rivers are replaced by white lines.
