"Mr. Fan, don't blame me. Similarly, I feel very proud in my heart. It is impossible to attack the enemy's plan without a plan. But my plan is external, not internal. On the contrary, some people are weak externally, but very cruel to the inside. In order to destroy me, the people of Xixia sent scouts to spread prophecy at the border. Zi'an's achievements were better than Jinu, and they broke Helan and broke into the pillars. You all know this. In the future, I will open a gap from this prophecy. However, recently, another prophecy came from the capital, covering the sky, Sima Wuri!"

Yitu is undoubtedly the word "king". It is so big that it is definitely huge.

Sima is not Sima, but Zhao Shijiangshan.

It would be interesting to connect together.

Chapter 842 Joint marriage

Prophecies, or prophecies and divinations, are too powerful in ancient times.

How did it come about?

The exact time was born in the Western Han Dynasty, and the founder was Dong Zhongshu. Is the heavenly beings resonant? Therefore, some strange hidden words and prophecies will appear, indicating good and bad luck. For example, some pronounced sentences in "Zuo Zhuan": Ji's demise and Lu's failure...

The background is that Dong Zhongshu suggested that abolish the hundreds of schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone be respected, but this requires the support of Emperor Wu of Han. Confucianism alone is not enough. Therefore, Dong Zhongshu introduced the theory of prophecy and divination, using this to satisfy the orthodox and rationality of the Han Dynasty rulers.

"After returning to Zhou and Qin, the remains of the picture seal script gradually became mixed with the Confucian and Taoist schools. Those who entered Taoism were talismans, and those who entered Confucians were prophecies and divinations. Dong and Liu were competing for disasters and distortions, but they were actually prophecies and divinations."

It is something created by Confucianism!

Therefore, from this time on Confucianism has no longer been the true Confucianism of Master.

The so-called prophecy is a test, and there are books that testify. The book published by Heluo is called prophecy, which is the explanation given in "Shuowen Jiezi".

So what is latitude? It is not the latitude of the earth's longitude and latitude, but the latitude of the book of latitude, that is, the use of theology to attach to Confucianism. Think about what Confucius said, respect ghosts and gods and stay away from it!

Then came Wang Mang.

Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and was afraid that the world would not support it, so he pretended to entrust the old example of Yao and Shun's abdication, saying that he was "responsible to the order". When the martial arts chief Meng Tong saw the opportunity, he said that he had obtained a white stone from the well with a book written on it: He told An Han Gongmang to be the emperor.

Later, a small pavilion chief in Qi County said that he dreamed that the God of Heaven sent an envoy to tell him that the emperor should be true. Wang Mang told the Empress Dowager that he used this as a request to remove the word "达", and only called the emperor in front of his subjects, and changed the original name. More and more people later. In fact, this is a manifestation of guilt, not only Wang Mang, but also Wu Zetian...

At this time, the prophecy and divination statement was officially completed.

The prophecy made by Wang Mang and some Xiao Xiaoxiao was almost a joke, but a very crucial prophecy appeared later: Liu Xiu should be the emperor!

How did this come about? According to the statement of "Zizhi Tongjian", (Liu) Qin married Fan Chong's daughter in Huyang and gave birth to three boys: Yan, Zhong, Xiu, brothers were orphaned early, and raised by his uncle. Yan was strong and generous and generous. He was a rash man and was always angry. He was worried about restoring the country, not working in his family, went bankrupt, and became a hero in the world. Xiulong was right at the corner of the day, and was diligent in farming. Yan was very funny, compared to Gaozu's brother Zhong. Xiu's sister was the wife of Deng Chen in Xinye. Xiu had once passed by Chen, a native of Rang, and Shaogong learned a lot about prophecy, saying, "Liu Xiu should be the emperor." Some people said, "It's the national master Liu Xiu." The show said, "Why do you know that it's not a servant evil?" Everyone laughed loudly, and Chen was happy.

Li Shou, a native of Wan, loved the Xingli and prophecies, and was a teacher of Mangzong. He once said to his son Tong, "Li should rise, and Li should be the assistant." When he arrived in Xinshi, the army of Pinglin rose and Nanyang was in chaos. Tong's younger brother Yi said to Tong, "Now the world is disturbed, the Han should be revived. The family of Nanyang, Liu Bosheng, only the brothers of Liu Bosheng, love and favor the crowd, and can plan major events with him." Tong laughed and said, "My intention!" Huixiu sold the valley in Wan, Tong sent Yi to Yingxiu, and met him. He said, "Since you said, "I have a chance to do it." He said that the prophecy and literature matters were disturbed, and he made an appointment with him to make a decision.

Later generations thought it was true, but Wang Ju thought that Sima Guang's record was a bit far-fetched.

Why?

Because of Liu Xiu's situation at that time.

Many people in later generations said that Taizu was of low origin. It was indeed not high origin, but there were still people who were inferior to Taizu, especially Zhu Yuanzhang. Liu Bang's origin was just like that, and Liu Xiu was also very bad. Liu Xiu was the ninth generation grandson of Liu Bang. Liu Mai, the king of Ding, Changsha, the Western Han Dynasty, had a throne, and Liu Mai was inherited by his son Liu Xiongqu. Another son Liu Wai was the prefect of Yulin. Liu Wai's son Liu Hui was the commander of Julu, and Liu Hui's son Liu Qin was the commander of Nandun. Liu Qin died early, and Liu Xiu's three brothers were raised by his uncle Liu Liang.

At this time, the three brothers of the Liu family must not have much property. In ancient times, the eldest son inherited the family business, and even less was Liu Xiu's turn. Therefore, Liu Xiu's situation appeared when he was young. According to historical records, he was "diligent and farming" and liked to do work... He probably didn't have much land in his family, but he had great ambitions, so he had to spend money to learn literature and martial arts, and he had to spend money, and he had to marry and have children, and even more so, forcing him to have no choice but to do farm work himself, and then put down his body after the slack farming process and be a small grain vendor to earn more wealth.

What a small vendor's status was in ancient times? His elder brother Liu Yan often made fun of him.

At this time, Liu Xiu could not see the emperor?

Therefore, this prophecy may really be related to another Liu Xiu, that is, Liu Xiu, the national master recorded in Zizhi. He is very famous. He is the son of Liu Xiang, a great scholar of Guanglu doctor and great scholar. His original name is Liu Xin. He is also a great scholar. He had a good relationship with Wang Mang in his early years. Later, due to various reasons, he was forced to kill Wang Mang and commit suicide.

However, what is going on? Because historical records are chaotic, or many of them have not been recorded, it is not clear to later generations.

But no matter what, Liu Xiu really became the unification of the world, and became almost the most perfect emperor among all the unified founding emperors.

As for Li Shou, who calculated the Eagle Words, who was an official in the capital, Li Tong rebelled in Nanyang. After Li Shou learned about it, he took the initiative to meet Wang Mang and asked for lenient treatment. As a result, the whole family was killed. Instead, Li Tong later became a founding hero of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Grand Sikong, so there were too many mysteries.

Then Li Shimin came. It is said that when Li Shimin was four years old, a alchemist visited Li Yuan and saw Li Shimin and said that Li Shimin had the posture of a dragon and phoenix and a phoenix. He was a few championships in his year and would be able to save the world and the people. Li Yuan was afraid that the words were leaked, so he sent someone to chase him, but he did not find anyone.

Wang Ju also didn't believe that this was true, because Li Yuan had been preparing to hand over the country to his eldest son for a long time, which led to the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

The main reason is the prophecy that comes later, the eighteen sons will win the world.

After hearing this, Emperor Yang of Sui began to inquire. There were no need to worry about ordinary Li Li, but there were three Li Li, one was Li Mi, the great-grandson of Li Bi of the Eighth Pillar Kingdom. However, Li Mi was fleeing at that time. Second, Li Hu's grandson Li Yuan, who was also a relative of Yang Guang, was an official in Shanxi. However, Li Yuan was low-key and may have used some means to escape the disaster. Third, Li Yuan's grandson Li Min, was also Yang Guang's niece son-in-law, and Li Min was very powerful in the court. So soon, all 32 people from the Li family were executed, and the rest were exiled to Lingnan together.

There are many other examples, such as Zhao Kuangyin's inspection as the emperor.

Li Chunfeng's "After the Third Dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, there was a heroine named King Wu."

In the Qin Dynasty, "the one who destroyed Qin was Hu", "Although Chu had three households, if Qin was destroyed, Chu would be the one who destroyed Qin."

So when it comes to this thing, the attitude of rulers of all dynasties is only twelve words: I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go!

But it cannot be said that it is easy to use. In fact, people rarely use this trick to deal with political enemies during the past and present.

Not to mention Wang Mang, the Wang family and the Empress Dowager had already controlled the government affairs at that time. As for Cao Cao, Liu Yu and Zhao Kuangyin, what they said would not work, but instead accelerated their speed of replacing the dynasty.

Or Qin Hui, Cai Jing and others said that they were authoritarian and chaotic, but could they say that they had the opportunity to change the dynasty?

Therefore, no one believes that they will be crazy revenge in turn.

However, on Wang Ju, it seems that all the conditions are there...

The big bosses' faces were gloomy, even though Fan Chunren was a little disgusted deep in his heart. It was not for anything else, but for the moment, if Wang Ju takes over Xixia, stabilizes Xixia and refuses to leave, and use this prophecy to force Wang Ju away, it would be a matter of saying that the key is that Xixia has not yet been pacified, and the Liao Kingdom is paying attention again!

So many people looked at Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu's expression was very solemn. It was obvious that Wang Juxian had already said that he had prepared mentally, but Zhao Xu was also complicated in his heart.

When Wang Ju entered the palace, he did not talk about this at the beginning, but about his son's marriage.

Zhao Tianci gradually grew older, so Wang Ju wanted to choose a daughter-in-law from among the royal family women.

Zhao Xu was overjoyed.

Zhao Xu was also in a complicated mood for the other side. He said he would not be willing to give up. Not to mention such a large territory, just talk about the help of the other side to the Song Dynasty. Zhao Xu could not silently look at it completely.

However, it seems unlikely to be in charge of the jurisdiction.

First of all, officials, let alone overseas thousands of miles of the sea, just talk about Qiongzhou Island, no officials are willing to go there. Maybe there are, but there are definitely very few, only dozens of officials are not afraid of danger and are willing to serve the court, but can these dozens of officials control the other side?

In fact, there is another deeper reason, that is, the official system in ancient China. Once an official becomes an official, there will be beautiful women, cars, luxury houses, money and food. With this idea, how many officials will be willing to endure hardships?

On the other hand, in Europe hundreds of years later, their population was very small and they could not do anything like Wang Ju. They could migrate millions of people at any time, turning foreign lands into areas dominated by the same ethnic group. Even in the Americas, there were English, Irish, Frank, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish... Therefore, with immigrants, they could not unite, so the soil for the United States was found.

But in this situation, the West once controlled most parts of the world, and even the Qing Kingdom became their semi-colonial.

However, Wang Ju had great power and could not change the ranking of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce in the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhao Xu saw it, but it was an unsolvable problem.

The few officials sent, and they had to face the second difficulty. The means of ruling the country in the Song Dynasty was similar to those in the previous dynasties, and it was the model of co-governing the country between officials and gentry.

The officials only reached the county level. The chief of the senior household in the liberal arts was a gentry, and the clerks in the county were also a powerful gentry. Some people say that Song Jiang was not a gentry, but he was indeed not a gentry, landlord and businessman, but he was strong!

Therefore, some officials were weak in ability and were all over the place by local gentry and powerful people.

However, this kind of undercurrent is limited. At least in the general direction, these gentry and powerful people dare not violate the court, otherwise they will face strong suppression by the state machine. Therefore, this model ensures that the country can be stable in a major way.

However, can the state machine control the gentry and powerful people on the other side?

So some officials have passed, and the other side has opened up some cities every year to make them states of the Song Dynasty, but these officials have never been able to control the other side of the states.

Zhao Xu thought for a long time and finally gave the other side a position, which was to treat it as a super-large restricted area, just like the Hezhong area of ​​the Tang Dynasty.

Then there is Wang Ju. Wang Ju is leaving in the future. Zhao Xu is still a little reluctant to leave. However, if he asks himself, if Wang Ju doesn't leave, he will feel at ease when he is there, but once his health is not good, can he feel at ease?

Or like my ancestors, I would like to give my glass of wine to release military power. Well, not only did I need to release military power, but also the regime, so that Wang Ju can completely retire. But even so, Zhao Xu may not be relieved. Compared with Wang Ju, Shi Shouxin and others are weak! Comparing Sima Yi and Wang Ju, let's compare Sima Yi.

Thinking of this, Wang Ju's trip to the other side was the best ending, and it also created a story that matched the king and his subjects.

So will Wang Ju become the king when he goes to the other side?

Wang Ju once said obscurely that he would not be king several times. Zhao Xu thought about it for a long time and thought that Wang Ju would not be king. Maybe Wang Ju had kindness to these seamen and had certain binding force. Some systems on the other side were formulated by Wang Ju, but these seamen may not agree that Wang Ju becomes the king with the power of life and death!

Therefore, Zhao Xu's positioning of Wang Jue's other shore is an invisible king with high prestige, rather than a public king.

The positioning of the future of the other shore may be like the river. Although the Tang Dynasty is the main focus, they may be in charge of their own affairs and a loose alliance!

Moreover, the area of ​​the other shore is too large, and it is separated by seas, especially the two huge continents farthest on the other shore.

Most of his thoughts were really right, but many of them were wrong.

The reason why Wang Ju untruely handed over the other shore to the Song Dynasty was that the system on the other shore was more advanced, and Wang Ju couldn't let backward systems replace advanced systems.

The second is the sea that Zhao Xu thought of. With the current technological power, no one could unite such a large region. What is more fatal is the two completely different systems.

But Wang Ju did not cut off the other side, but had to wait until the future, whether the Central Plains could emerge with a more advanced system under the influence of the other side, and second, it was to wait for the rapid development of scientific and technological forces. But I don’t know how many years it will take.

Wang Ju's ideas had nothing to do with Zhao Xu's ideas, but it was precisely because of Zhao Xu's ideas that he still hoped that Wang Ju would continue to maintain a close relationship with the Song Dynasty after he went to the other side. In this way, the wealth and the vast area of ​​the other side would continue to be beneficial to the Song Dynasty.

So what is closeness?

Isn’t this marriage with the royal family the best way to stay close?

One is the son of an aunt and the other is a royal woman. It is difficult not to miss the Song Dynasty.

So Zhao Xu immediately said yes. His younger brother had many daughters and was worried about the dowry. His fifth daughter was not married and she looked good.

However, Wang Ju immediately shook his head and said, "I am optimistic about others."

It is not Zhao Hao's daughter, but another royal family woman, the great-granddaughter of Zhao Yuanyan, the "Eight Virtue Kings".

Zhao Yuanyan was very prestigious during the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty and had thirteen sons. Except for Yunxi, Yunliang, Yundi, Yunchu, and Yunchu, the rest all died early. However, Yunchu was facing Buddha, but there were no descendants, and only the first three meridians were left.

Wang Ju chose Zhao Yundi's granddaughter. It is said that this person is very incompetent. He is in a state of sorrow and is not sad. He is also a good show in the palace. Even his wife Qian could not bear it and reported to the court. Song Renzong issued an order to be demoted to the general of the right sect and refused to pay a visit to him. His wife Qian became a monk and became a female Taoist priest in disappointment.

That had nothing to do with Wang Ju, and Zhao Yundi had been dead for a long time.
To be continued...
