Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 504: Create faith and worship technology (please give me a monthly recommendation vote!)

However, the emperor now seems as if nothing has happened, still calm and composed, and even boasting here.

Such tricks like pretending to be gods and ghosts should be done by villains, but the emperor of a majestic empire spends energy on such things.

Do you think that we are easy to fool like Qianshou?
He is so careless about the military families in Xianyang City. It seems that he has already planned to give up this group.

Emperor, this is a big deal. If it is not handled properly, there will definitely be rifts within the empire.Or perhaps, the rift has already existed, and now the emperor wants to clean up the waste in the rift.

Thinking of this, Meng Tian naturally felt a chill running down his spine.Yes, the relationship between the emperor and his ministers is inherently ruthless.How could the emperor care about the life and death of these people?

On the racecourse, when all the soldiers in the army gathered into a dark mass and crowded in front of the emperor, all the soldiers shouted, "Long live your Majesty!" , this overwhelming sound, like the waves on the sea, rushing over.

The sound poured into Meng Tian's ears, and he only felt trembling.Then the horses on the racecourse began to boil. On this vast racecourse, countless tall horses were like black waves surging on the green curtain.

The sounds of people and the sound of horse hooves were once mixed in the pasture. It seemed that everyone was immersed in joy. Only Meng Tian, ​​who had slightly white temples, started to tremble violently in his heart.

The emperor did not give up the support of the old courtiers of the Qin State, but gave up the military aristocratic group as internal ministers. Instead, he chose the old military aristocrat group as his new confidants, so as to achieve his goal.Therefore, the current emperor has no fear of military nobles.The emperor is now afraid that the military group will not do something extraordinary...

The cunning rabbit dies, the lackey thrives...

Meng Tian gradually changed his mentality from being worried about the young emperor. Only then did he realize that his emperor had already mastered the art of power.Subsequently, his painstaking efforts and earnest advice seemed to be a naked irony of himself, and his loyalty was dispensable in the eyes of the emperor.

The second generation is different from the new emperor. Now it seems that he has no regard for his old ministers.

At this time, Sima Chang took the initiative to bow and said:

"His Majesty the Emperor is extremely wise and blessed by the gods. He has given us the blessings of the Qin State. Not only is Shennong alive, but he has also equipped the empire's army with the best weapons. I can say that I admire your Majesty from the bottom of my heart."

Huo Cheng did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor would actually issue an edict to let Sima Chang come to the army. Is it possible that he would be appointed to a position in the army.

It seems that it takes a lot of effort to become the most important minister beside His Majesty the Emperor.

II:

"I was able to dream of the gods and was taught skills to benefit the country and the people. It also shows that God has favored my country of Qin. I thought that this must be the protection of the spirit of the late emperor. But I have been thinking about this matter. The late emperor worked day and night on government affairs, and now even though Even if he turned into an immortal, he still entrusted me with a dream and gave me this divine object."

"I think this is a warning from the late emperor to me? What does Dazhu Kingdom think?"

Fusu indeed discovered that Meng Tian did not cooperate with his remarks today.

This Meng Tian actually dares to make a three-part agreement with me.Don’t you know that if you want your ministers to die, they will have to die?

And on such an important occasion as mine, he actually didn't show any intention of cooperating.

Meng Tian thought to himself that if such a dream really existed, it could only mean that His Majesty the Emperor was thinking about things during the day, so he had dreams at night.

However, His Majesty the Emperor's promotion to the military that his regime is protected by God is of great significance. If he does not respond at this time, he will definitely offend the Emperor.The emperor wanted to eradicate even the military nobles, so what else could he not dare to do?

In fear, Meng Tian asked:

"Based on my understanding of the late emperor, even if your majesty really turns into an immortal, you still can't let go of the empire in your heart. Therefore, your majesty's dream is to express a warning to your majesty. Your majesty shoulders the destiny, and more importantly, the empire. The responsibility is very heavy. The late emperor In my dream, I gave Your Majesty such a treasure to help Your Majesty achieve success and protect the Qin Kingdom."

"What Zhu Guo said is indeed reasonable, and it is different from casual talk. I keep Zhu Guo's words in mind, and always remember that God has the warning and supervisor from the late emperor to urge me to be diligent in my administration."

When Meng Tian heard this, he bowed and said:
"Your Majesty has learned clearly, and I bow to you."

Dong Yi couldn't help but think too much when he saw Meng Tian being respectful in front of the emperor.The Second Emperor did have some tricks up his sleeve. He wanted to draw out the firepower and oust the military nobles of the Qin Empire.Meng Tian must have been aware of the emperor's intentions, so he was also afraid of the emperor.

Huo Chengcheng stood at the far side of the emperor. He looked at Dazhu Kingdom, but he felt dissatisfied.Meng Tian came from a noble family with military achievements in the Qin State, and was also a trusted minister of the late emperor. For such a high-ranking and influential person, even if he took it orally, he might not be convinced.

It's just that the Meng brothers' reputation for loyalty is known to all the world.The descendants of the Meng family all serve the empire, and their influence is extremely wide.

Meng was not promoted by the second generation, so naturally he did not treat the second generation as much as the late emperor.

These words are the late emperor's warning both inside and outside, and they are completely against the wishes of His Majesty the Emperor. Doesn't he know the theory that is currently being discussed in the Imperial Academy, that heaven and man are unified, and the emperor is ordered by heaven.

Huo Cheng must mention this matter before His Majesty the Emperor someday.Since the general is old, he should go home to take care of himself. Why bother to go out and cause trouble?

The emperor listened, and walked around with all the soldiers on his own.

These soldiers were led by their captains and retreated in an orderly manner one by one according to the square formation. This neat pace soon caused echoes on the earth.Like turbulent black waves, the ebb and flow, the retreat of the black team soon exposed the originally green grass again.

The emperor asked worriedly:

"However, I still don't know something. I don't understand. There is a Heavenly Emperor above the sky. I am the emperor of the world, but I can't talk to the Heavenly Emperor. Why is this?"

As soon as the emperor said this, all the soldiers looked at each other.

Naturally, all the ministers wanted to take this opportunity to express their opinions in front of the emperor in order to win the emperor's favor, so everyone racked their brains to think about it.

Meng Tian and Dong Yi were highly virtuous generals who followed the emperor over the years, but they still refused to agree with the emperor's theory of divine right.

This made Shen Yu feel that these two people had different views on Qin II.

"Dazhuguo is an important minister left behind by the late emperor. I wonder what Dazhuguo thinks?"

When Meng Tian saw that the Second Emperor wanted to question him today, he naturally became alert.

"Your Majesty - I am ignorant. I have never dreamed of a god. As for this god not talking to your majesty, I really can't figure it out. I am stupid, so I forgive your majesty."

"What about Captain Dong?"

Dong Yi's lower abdomen was still slightly bulging, and the general's belly seemed very awkward among the generals.

"Reporting to your majesty - I privately believe that this is an edict from heaven, implying the difference between mortals and gods. Therefore, your majesty cannot have a dialogue with the emperor of heaven."

The emperor just raised his eyebrows after hearing this.

"The captain's idea coincides with mine."

"I only made a brief guess. Your Majesty is the one who entrusts dreams to the gods. If your Majesty thinks so, then this is the will of the gods."

"I have inherited the order of the late emperor, and more importantly, the will of the Emperor of Heaven to rule the world. It stands to reason that there should be no one who is dissatisfied and no one is disobedient. However, I have been in power for more than a year, and there is still no peace in the world. I am indeed You should think deeply about this.”

When the generals heard this, their mouths seemed to be glued shut.

"And when I look at the world of heaven, everything is in compliance with it. Everything follows the laws of nature and is peaceful. This may be the distance between humans and immortals."

After hearing this, the generals nodded in agreement.

"The path to immortality is indistinct, and the path to humanity is vast. Since the late Emperor turned into an immortal after his death, I naturally intend to follow suit."

After Meng Tian heard this, he felt that the emperor was getting hot. He immediately frowned and his previous humility was gone. This made Dong Yi move his Adam's apple in fear, but he didn't say anything.

"I think that the treasures entrusted to me by the late emperor, as well as the treasures bestowed upon me by the immortals whom I once dreamed of, all express one meaning to me. It is not impossible for a mortal to become an immortal. But he needs to rely on one thing."

"There is such a thing as a columbine in this world, which can double the yield of the common people. There is also a cart that can teach people to be light and labor-saving, and there are even things like stirrups that can allow soldiers to control their horses like the wind. I think , this is the clue left to me by the Emperor of Heaven.”

"If people want to be immortal, they can only complete transformation through utensils."

This view is incredible. When the Qin soldiers heard the news, they all began to doubt it.

Meng Tian was also surprised.

"Why does Your Majesty have such an idea? How can a person complete the transformation from human to god through artifacts?"

"Zhu Guo, don't be impatient. I will tell Zhu Guo what I have learned in the past ten years."

"I have dreamed of immortals many times. After this person passes away, all those who are beneficial to the family, country and the world, such as Jiang Taigong and the late emperor, will take off their bodies and become immortals."

[Key point: Only those who serve the country and are of great benefit to the cause of the world will obtain eternal life. In this way, we can link up the encouragement of people in the world to contribute to society and obtain blessings in the next life, so as to encourage people in the world to actively contribute to society. 】

"But every time the immortal dreams, he always entrusts me with treasures. Every time I create and promote things, I always greatly improve the people's livelihood in the empire. I am the crown prince of a country, and what I think about is the country's society, and in my dreams All the gods I saw also gave me gifts in kind. All the things given by the gods are beneficial to the people."

"I also see the protection of the Emperor of Heaven for our country of Qin."

"But I also observe from this that this artifact is of great help to people's livelihood and war. I also observe from this that the emergence of this artifact saves our human strength and allows us to consume less physical energy."

"I once heard an expert say to me that if people from the countryside want to live forever, they must go to the deep mountains and old forests to sit in meditation in order to achieve the path of immortality. The fundamental reason is to spend less physical energy, so that you can achieve immortality. Immortality."

"From this, I deduce that if people want to truly achieve immortality, they can only work hard on utensils. When people all over the world can solve the problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation by using utensils, they do not need to expend a lot of physical energy, and thus they can obtain immortality."

What Second said is reasonable and well-founded, and it sounds like there is no contradiction at all.

After hearing this, these generals also became excited.

Furthermore, Qin II was so smart that he could design so many treasures that benefited the country and the people. If not for God's help, even if Master Lu Ban of the Mohist family came, he might not be able to design such things.

Especially this stirrup, they never dreamed that they could use such a thing to arm soldiers.

As a result, all the soldiers believed the emperor's statement to be true.

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. If you can use artifacts to get everything you want without spending any energy, then in the long run, even if you don't get immortality, you will definitely be able to live a long life."

Sima Chang became very upright at this time.

Regarding the immortality that the emperor said, he himself did not have such a deep wish. He just thought that when he was alive, he could be a great minister and have good food and clothing. If he could live a long life and live to 99, he would be considered a great blessing.

In fact, for these military ministers, if they can enjoy their old age, it is already the limit. How can they still expect such things as eternal life?

But no matter what, His Majesty the Emperor's starting point is still good.

"Since all the ministers think that I am right, I will establish the second rule of the Qin Empire here today. In the future, the Qin State will vigorously develop science and technology, even if such a thing cannot be accomplished in the time and space where I am. , then it is up to our ancestors to work hard for generations until future generations can one day realize the transformation from humans to immortals."

"From now on, in our Qin Empire, whoever has a great invention will go to the government to present his invention. If it helps the people's livelihood, I will reward him with land, house, wealth and silk. You Si, I want you to record this in the laws of our Qin Kingdom. among.”

"I look back to ancient times and see that our Qin Empire's laws clearly stipulate how to punish people who make mistakes, but it is rare that the state stipulates that those who have made contributions will be rewarded by the state. I will stipulate more of this in the laws of the Qin Empire in the future. law."

Meng Tian did not expect that the emperor's ultimate goal was still to improve the country's people's livelihood, but this time he wanted to focus on utensils.

Seeing this, Meng Tian's anger disappeared again.He thought that His Majesty the Emperor would also pursue immortality like the late Emperor.

Sima Chang praised Qin II and said:
"Your Majesty has great insight, I admire you."

"Sima Chang, you are an iron officer of the empire, and you are already among the great officials. Now I will promote you to the rank of minister, and you will be responsible for supervising the manufacture of weapons in the future. The manufacture of this iron weapon is different from others, and you must control the temperature and temperature of the weapons. , if you can supervise the creation of tools that are sharper than iron tools, I will reward you greatly. The generals also listened to the order, and all the officers and soldiers in the army who have improved the fighting tools must report it to the court. Will reward you."

All the soldiers said "Hi!" '

That being said, the emperor warned the officers and soldiers:

"Technology can help us complete the dialogue with God. I hope that the country will work in this direction in the future."
