Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 767 Conversation with Li Chengqian

After being welcomed into the city by Li Chengqian, Yu Xiu'er and others, Sun Xiangfu knew the next regulations, and they had already arranged everything for him.

The Temple of Heaven, which has been built for five or six months since mid-August last year, has been completed long ago by February this year.

It is nothing more than an open space covered with exquisitely patterned floor tiles. In the center is a circular high platform made of concrete. There are white marble fences around the high platform. In the middle is a large stone altar and an incense burner. Big tripod.

The reason why this large altar is called the Temple of Heaven by Li Shimin is because, in the future, it will only be used when someone is bestowed with the highest honor. Category.

The first person to use it was Sun Xiangfu, and the reason why Li Shimin wanted to hold Sun Xiangfu's canonization ceremony first was to be more convincing when he added the title of 'Supreme Emperor' later.

After all, although the things Sun Xiangfu did have undergone some beautification, nearly half of them are true and have been recognized by the general public.

And his title of "Supreme Emperor" was obtained by his own directing and acting. Although his achievements are real, he lacks the support of public opinion.

Especially in South Asia, Byzantium, and the Dashi area that was finally included under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, their impression of Li Shimin is basically the iron-blooded king, because what they feel more intuitively is the majestic military might of the Tang Dynasty , and endless wealth, now, there is only a slight improvement.

And it is more convincing and more perfect for Sun Xiangfu, a saint recognized by the whole people, to push him to the position of "Human Emperor".

In the Luoyang Palace, the big guys chatted around Sun Xiangfu for a long time, a few of them were chatting and reminiscing about the past, most of them were explaining the following things clearly to him.

The overall meaning is that February [-]th is the day when the Conferring Ceremony is held in Chang'an, and it is less than ten days away from now. Before that, Sun Xiangfu needs to make a suitable ritual attire and familiarize himself with the ritual words in the ceremony , and even let craftsmen carve statues for it.

Someone had prepared these things for him early in the morning, all he needed was for him to try on the ceremonial attire, familiarize himself with the ritual words, wear the ceremonial attire, and let the sculptors take a look.

The problem now is that Sun Xiangfu still has some emotions about the matter with Feng Sheng, and needs someone to do ideological work for them. After a few perfunctory greetings to everyone, he went to a side hall with the excuse of being tired. bedroom.

The one who can enter his bedroom is naturally his wife Yu Xiu'er.

"Husband! According to His Majesty, after you can be conferred a saint, you will enjoy the rites of a saint. All the subjects and people in the world, when they see you, must perform the rituals of a teacher. When you leave the place, you can live in the emperor's palace, enter the court hall, and enjoy the blessings of everyone." The minister pays homage..."

Seeing that Yu Xiu'er was chattering non-stop as soon as she entered the room, Sun Xiangfu reached out to stop her and said, "Xiu'er, these things just don't happen to be what my husband wants, isn't it good to live a real life?" ? Why do you have to deal with these vain things!"

When Yu Xiu'er heard this, her face turned serious, "My husband doesn't want it, but other people want it! Besides, we in Tang Dynasty need it! Don't you understand what His Majesty means yet?

He gave you such a high honor. In addition to rewarding your contributions, he still wants to set you up as an example for the people of the world, and let the people of the world know that as long as someone is willing to dedicate his talents to the common people, what kind of honor does the royal family have? , can be awarded to him. "

Unreasonable women are not scary, but reasonable women are scary. What Yu Xiuer said made Sun Xiangfu speechless.

After being stunned for a moment, he smiled wickedly and said, "So, you have organized so many welcoming ceremonies and created such a big momentum here, is it all to make me accept your arrangement obediently? Let me tell you, you succeeded. "

"you~"

Seeing that Sun Xiangfu's tone was wrong, Yu Xiu'er wanted to continue to explain the truth to him, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

"I succeeded? That means, does your husband have any objections to the next arrangement?" Yu Xiu'er was thrown out of the car by Sun Xiangfu's sharp bend, and said in a daze.

"Your husband, I will never disappoint everyone. When Xiaotai told me before, I thought about it. However, I still have opinions. In the future, try not to arrange for me to attend any public occasions. I am afraid of saying the wrong thing. , causing any adverse effects.

Don't force me to do things I don't like anymore, don't arrange so many things like this time without discussing with me..."

These conditions, what kind of conditions are there, Yu Xiuer didn't wait for him to finish, she nodded and said, "Okay, everything will be done according to your wishes in the future, as long as you agree to accept the holy reputation, who told you that you are a saint Woolen cloth!"

Sun Xiangfu pretended not to believe, "Did you really listen to me?"

Yu Xiu'er puffed her chest out and said seriously, "I will do what I say."

"That's really great, we haven't seen each other for two or three years, or..."

"I'm going to die! The prince and the others are still waiting for news outside!"

"Then let them continue to wait!"

"How can this be, my husband, you will be a saint in the future, and you will become an example for all people."

"I knew it was so."

"Even so, you are not allowed to go back on your word."

······
In the afternoon, when everyone outside the palace got the news, they breathed a sigh of relief. Under Li Chengqian's help, all the pre-designed procedures started running quickly, and he also had the opportunity to talk to Sun Xiangfu alone.

"Teacher, Li Daochang has cited many examples before to prove that you are a born saint. For example, your ideas will really come true, and what you think may exist will really exist. Even, for you, people can go to the moon. Li Daochang also firmly believes in the matter above, Cheng Qian just wanted to ask you, where will the future of our Tang Dynasty go?"

After hearing the words, Sun Xiangfu knew that all of this was done by Li Chunfeng, in order to prove that his calculation and divination skills were correct, so he said very shamelessly, "If you believe in these mysterious things, then The future of our Tang Dynasty is not too far away. If you do things that are good for the people in a down-to-earth manner, restrain your desires, and don’t do things that are bad for the people, and use this to ask your next generation descendants, then it may be passed on for thousands of years."

Seeing Sun Xiangfu's serious answer, Li Chengqian asked eagerly, "What about after a thousand years?"

Sun Xiangfu pretended to be profound and sighed, "Who can say what will happen after a thousand years?

Perhaps, at that time, human beings no longer need emperors.

Or maybe, at that time, the emperor had already become a symbol.

When the world's population and industries have become so complicated that one person's energy cannot take care of them at all, and a huge adjudication team is needed to manage all aspects, it is normal for the imperial power to fall sideways. In fact, these problems , From your current position, you can see some heels. "

The world is big, the population is large, how difficult it is to govern, only those who really govern can understand.

A few years ago, Sun Xiangfu suggested that Li Shimin set up thirty or fifty peace chapters to help the prime minister handle government affairs. This idea, at the time, could be said to be a bit crazy, but only a few years later, thirty or fifty peace chapters Things are not necessarily enough.

After the Tang Dynasty formally unified the world, there were more than 2 million people, and each of the affairs of the Zhengshitang had to manage the people's livelihood of four to five provinces on average. This workload was not small.

Because, provinces are roughly divided into millions of people, and the whole world is divided into more than 200 provinces. On average, each person has to manage the food, drink, lodging, and even education, medical care and Pension.

As the helm of the only empire in the world, it is very rare to be able to memorize all the names of these more than 200 provinces. After all, there are many uncommon and awkward names in it.

And what about the future?The population of these provinces will continue to grow, and it may exceed ten million or even more. Faced with such a situation, can you rely on the emperor to judge all matters?
Impossible, human energy is limited, the regime will definitely be diverted from the hands of the emperor, and then a certain degree of independence and self-government will appear, and finally fall apart.

Therefore, even though Datang can firmly grasp the whole world through the level of science and technology and industry, Sun Xiangfu can only dare to talk for a thousand years at most, and even with the current speed of development, it will not reach a thousand years.

He said it was so long, and he just wanted to comfort Li Chengqian's heart.

After all, it is possible to achieve millennium rule if the will of the people is given priority and reforms are continuously promoted.

"So, what level can the development of science and technology reach in the future?" Li Chengqian asked again.

"This, there should be no limit, because science is to make many impossible things possible, and to walk through some paths that human beings can't go through.

Of course, science and technology have developed to a certain level and cannot be abused.

For example, the gunpowder we are making now is already very powerful. In the future, we may create something even more powerful, even to the point of destroying the world.

so!Human beings need to make a lot of efforts and maintain a lot of restraint if they want to live a stable life in this world. As a ruler, we must always see the two sides of the problem. "

"Destroy this world?" Li Chengqian shuddered just listening to these words.

At this time, he regretted that he had raised this issue with Sun Xiangfu, because Li Chunfeng said that what Sun Xiangfu said would most likely become a reality.

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "Yes, because science and technology are endless and have infinite possibilities, and people must maintain awe of life, especially rulers, in addition to knowing how to use it to bring human beings In addition to convenience, we must also find ways to limit its damage to humans and the world."

Li Chengqian roughly understood what Sun Xiangfu said. Now, to a certain extent, his political ability is no longer inferior to Li Shimin, and the views and knowledge of later generations he received from Sun Xiangfu far surpassed that of Li Shimin. Li Shimin is the most suitable ruler under the new situation of Datang.

He knew about Li Shimin's abdication plan early in the morning, so not only Sun Xiangfu had to accept the upcoming change of status, Li Chengqian also began to accept the next change of status, and asked Sun Xiangfu for advice so that he could see the future more clearly Against the backdrop of the general trend, the purpose of his trip is to meet the challenge of the emperor's position.

And after asking, he felt even more pressured. It turned out that an emperor, a qualified ruler in the future, needs to worry so much.

　Explain why the unification of the Eurasian continent was written in one stroke, because some things will be harmonized when written. There is already a precedent for a certain god, and if you want to write about Byzantium and Dashi, you can write it in detail. Those things must be written, as can be seen from the appearance of some asterisks after the revision.

　　Therefore, I reluctantly deleted at least [-] chapters, and edited a condensed version that did not involve religion or special regional politics. The loss is my time and money, but it is not important anymore.

　　In addition, the book was originally scheduled to be finished after the National Day, and the plan to directly link up with the new book has also changed. The book will be finished at the end of this month. After the National Day holiday, the new book will be online. Thank you for your understanding!It's the last few chapters, I beg you to give me a recommendation, a monthly pass!The new book, I hope everyone will come to join us, let me know in advance, it is a completely different routine, I am very confident, it is more exciting than this book!
