only……

There is another question!

The emperor looked up, looked at Zhang Yue, and asked, "I have heard Dong Zhongshu's old words about the response of heaven and man, and have listed three subjects and nine decrees. The wise ruler's responsibility. If I accept the decree of heaven and become the king of heaven, and my great power will be added to me, why are there disasters and strange things?"

This question has indeed come to light.

Fortunately, Zhang Yue was prepared.

Before he came, he had already thought about how to answer.

He bowed slightly and said calmly: "Your Majesty, Master Dong will leak..."

I will soon become someone else's disciple. It is my duty to maintain my teacher.

Of course, modifying the classics of the ancestors or standing on the shoulders of the predecessors is a fine tradition of Confucianism.

Confucius wrote the Book of Songs and Zixia wrote the Spring and Autumn Annals. Mencius also proposed the theory of humanism and slightest respect for the king based on his thoughts. Xunzi stood on Mencius' shoulders and developed a unique Confucian culture.

In the Han Dynasty, which Confucian sect did not change its own classics?

Dong Zhongshu himself incorporated countless ideas and ideas into Gongyang Chunqiu.

In fact, the Gongyang School is the school that most admires reform and reform.

The Han Dynasty was also the dynasty with the most reforms and systems among the unified feudal dynasties in China!

Since Emperor Gao, every generation of emperors will undergo at least one institutional change!

Until now, even the dynasty attributes and patronage have changed.

"Huh?" The emperor was slightly stunned and listened to Zhang Yue continuing: "I heard that Yu had five years of water and Tang had seven years of drought, but it did not disturb him from being a sage king. Why? Yu used gold from Lishan to redeem those who sold their children without food. Tang used gold from Zhuangshan to slaughter the exiled people!"

"From this perspective, disasters are strange. Although they are the will of heaven, they may not be condemned or punished!"

"Teacher Dong said: Heaven always cares about loving profit and raising long-term care. Emperor Xiaowen of Taizong also said: Heaven is born to savage people, and he will set up a king to nourish and govern him! Since Heaven ordered the emperor to submit the destiny to heaven, and to surrender it with great responsibility. How could he be arbitrarily warned and punished him?"

The emperor nodded slightly as he heard this.

He once believed in Dong Zhongshu's style.

Otherwise, they would not have done this or that according to Dong Zhongshu's requirements, or even Fengshan and patrol for blessings.

I just persisted for many years, and although I also got so-called auspiciousness of all kinds and such.

but……

The actual reward was not obtained.

Therefore, I have some doubts in my heart.

Now, I also agree with Zhang Yuezhi's words.

I was ordered by heaven to entrust the greatness of the world and the will of heaven for the Emperor. As the "Son of Heaven" who performed on behalf of heaven, how could "Heaven" easily bring disasters and strangeness to punish and warn him?

According to Dong Zhongshu's philosophy, God loves the people the most. He was ordered to be the king to take care of and lead the people on his behalf. How could he impose disasters and strange things on the people because of the king?

It should be applied to him if he wants to apply it!

How can it be applied to the people loved by 'Heaven'?

This is a big bug!

So the emperor asked, "Where is your opinion?"

"I am foolish," Zhang Yue bowed his head and said, "Maybe God has a great responsibility to surrender to the king of man, so he tempers it, use disasters to measure his kindness, observe his nature with strangeness, and use setbacks to see his will. If disasters can be overcome, strangeness and benevolent and do good for all people in the world and virtues are the people, then the country will prosper, his government will be harmonious, and his people will be clear!"

"Therefore, Xunzi said: A country is an important tool and a heavy responsibility in the world!"

"Now Your Majesty is in charge of the country and is ordered by heaven. Heaven has a heavy responsibility to surrender to Your Majesty! This is the clear destiny of the Han family! It is also the clear destiny of the scholars and people in the world!"

"In the past, Han and Chu competed against Hai, so the five stars came out of the east, and then the world was peaceful!"

"Now Your Majesty is in power and is under the great responsibility of heaven! The poem says: I am born with a strong citizen, and there are things and rules. The people's upholding Yi is a good virtue. The heavenly minister has Zhou, and Zhao is in the lower level. Isn't it that the heavenly minister has Han, and there is a false under the lower level?"

"Therefore, I am ignorant of death and report: Your Majesty was given the order of heaven, like Yu, Tang, and the heaven will surrender to the Liu family in the Han Dynasty. Disasters, strange things will occur frequently, like Yu's water, Tang's drought..."

"With your Majesty's wiseness, you will be able to respond, and Tang Yu's orders are the same. Therefore, Yu and Tang all have oaths, not only Yu, Tang, and the three generations of former kings, all have some feeling when they receive the orders, and then pray to heaven to make an oath!"

After Zhang Yue finished speaking, he bowed deeply and said, "The vow of the former king is to understand the world with the talisman of his order and build his great cause. Therefore, his virtue spreads to the world and brings benefits to the people!"

This is Zhang Yue's efforts to start from the highest level and establish his own theoretical system.

Just like what Dong Zhongshu did back then.

As long as the king agrees, this theory will generally be implemented very quickly.

Of course, this is not necessarily the case.

If you are a scoundrel, even if you have the endorsement and support of the king, you will be beaten into a scoundrel by reality.

For example, the Guliang School...

In Zhang Yue's information, Emperor Xuan personally came to an endorsement at the Shiqu Pavilion meeting.

However, as soon as Emperor Xuan died, he was beaten into a pig's head by a ram.

Even when Emperor Xuan was alive, Gu Liang was often beaten so much that he had to call Emperor Xuan to fight...

At that time, the Guliang School was facing a Gongyang School that was bound by the prophecy and taboo theory.

I can only say that a Gongyang School, which is both verbal, actionable, and has the Legalists as a thug, is too buggy.

The emperor listened and agreed very much.

The king is the least likely to be fooled in this world, but also the easiest to be fooled.

It is not easy to be fooled because they have seen, seen and experienced too many people and things, and it is difficult for ordinary people to fool them.

If you are easily fooled, you are the kings and people, and you also have seven emotions and six desires.

As long as you grasp their weaknesses, you will find that they are also ordinary people. Especially today, although he is in his sixties, he still has a childlike heart.

He not only believes in fairy tales, but also in myths.

What Zhang Yue said is also something that is real, recorded in historical books and classics, and is widely accepted and recognized by the Han people.

He just added some private goods to these cognitions.

Just like some later public intellectuals, who advocated that the German mills could enter, the wind could enter, the rain could enter, and the king could not enter, and he also created a magical axe of cherry blossoms and talked about Ultraman in the summer camp.

There are obviously a lot of loopholes, but aren’t there countless people who believe it?

I even think it is the truth, even if there is a lot of evidence, I will treat it as invisible!

Why?

Because these people yearn for and long for the world described by others for them, and they want such a world and system.

What Zhang Yue said now is not only the king who is addicted to cultivating immortality but longs for immortality and suddenly agrees with it.

Even the few attendants in this hall agreed with each other.

The politics of the Three Dynasties and the previous kings, through the hundreds of years of the Warring States Period, the continuous beautification and sublimation of the ancestors of various schools of thought, had long been carved into the depths of everyone's bones during the Han Dynasty.

Even the Qin Empire was convinced by the time, otherwise Qin Shihuang would not have been crazy about the behavior of the three generations of the former kings, going to Fengshan Mountain and visiting the world.

During the Han Dynasty, scholars and scholars of the Huang-Lao School and Confucianism for a hundred years have further buried these things deep into people's genes.

As a result, the thoughts that led to peace deeply swept across all classes.

From emperors, ministers, to scholars, officials, and common people, everyone is diligent in seeking.

Therefore, when Dong Zhongshu climbed up and shouted, he immediately followed him. Under the general trend, hundreds of schools of thought could not even retreat.

"I have been feeling something that you said..." The emperor stood up slightly and held the sword at his waist proudly. As a king, he naturally felt that he was a special person who was beloved by heaven and earth and loved by gods.

I had long felt something was calling him.

But, I have never been able to find the door.

Now, as soon as Zhang Yue said that, he certainly felt that he had found something he had been calling him.

He was even more complaining: "I was so proud of Mount Tai and visited the world, and I had hundreds of ministers and civil and military officials. Why didn't anyone remind me to swear to heaven and earth?"

In his opinion, if someone had reminded him that he should swear to heaven and earth, make a great vow, and then fulfill this great vow, he would be able to be with the Three Kings and Five Emperors.

Maybe he has received the reward from God now, and he may become a god!

Until now, he is in his sixties, gray hair, and old age. If he wants to travel around the world, he will not have the strength to do the Fengshan Mountain.

It's really...

Thinking of this, he said, "If I meet my beloved for twenty years, great things will be accomplished!"

As he said that, he was dejected and deeply moved.

"Why is Your Majesty depressed?" Zhang Yue saw it and immediately said respectfully, "The Taigong hopes to meet King Wen at the age of 80, and he can assist King Wu in defeating Zhou and open up the Zhou Dynasty. Since Your Majesty has been ordered by heaven, now that he has realized the duty of heaven, how is it too late?"

"Besides, the governance of the three generations is not the power of a generation. The government of Xia began with Yu, and at least the time of Kang, and finally achieved great success; the government of Shang began with Tang, and the government of Yi Yin was prosperous in Pan Ren; the governance of Zhou began with King Wen, through King Wu, Duke Zhou, and at the time of Chengkang, it was finally the best!"

"However, Yu and Tang's gods have been drooping to heaven and earth so far. Isn't this a reward from heaven?"

Zhang Yue knew very well that he had to root the belief that "the road is tortuous and the future is bright" in the hearts of young people in the Gongyang School.
