Chapter 398: The Book of Gods Comes Out(2/2)
As he said that, he lowered his head and opened the book cover. However, when he saw it, his face suddenly turned green.
Obviously, many scholars in Minglun Hall have read this book and have laughed.
In just one night, the book had spread throughout the capital, and for a moment it became a laughing stock for scholars all over the capital.
The more Li Wen looked, the greener his face became. He was so frightened!
Then he became excited and beat his chest and stumbled his feet and said, "It's a sin, it's a sin, it's a sin, it's a sin, it's a sin, it's a sin, it's a sin, it's a sin, it's so evil, what's written about... The king and his minister who live in the temple are like this."
No one expected that the gentleman was so angry.
He beat his heart and cried loudly again. It was not funny at this moment, so he all had a stern face. Someone said, "Sir... I think this is... I'm just sensational."
"Do you think they are sensational?" Li Wen said furiously: "Don't you understand it yet? This first article, what kind of thunder and lightning is a natural phenomenon... what kind of clouds... what charges... what kind of copper and iron conductivity are? Don't you understand it? This is to confuse the audience!"
"What is the reason for frequent natural disasters over the years? It is clear that God is angry, why is God angry? This is what the Book of Documents says: Heaven and man are the same, and they are mutually induce each other. God can interfere with human affairs, and people can also sense heaven. Therefore, if the emperor is not kind and unrighteous and does not do benevolence and righteousness, then God will have disasters and condemn and warn; if the government is harmonious, God will naturally bring down auspiciousness to encourage. This is what Dong Zhongshu said about the heavenly response, and the yin and yang are harmonious."
After a pause, Li Wen said again: "So the Lord said: Those who are the king should be punished and virtue, and serve the heavens. Now what is the reason for lightning? I will ask you, what does Your Majesty and the Marquis of Xinxian want to do? They just want to shirk all the natural disasters and man-made disasters over the years. They did not do benevolence and righteousness, so they surrendered the punishment of heaven. But not only did they not repent, they also wrote such evil words to deliberately confuse the public."
As he said this, Li Wen burst into tears: "If you are the king, you don't know how to reflect on yourself, but instead use evil sayings to mislead others. Alas, the Ming Dynasty is over."
When everyone heard this, they all suddenly became solemn.
So that's it, I didn't expect... the emperor and Zhang Jingyi had such a sinister intention. This first article deliberately used this to confuse the public. It was too despicable and shameless.
"What if...sir?"
Li Wen said with anger, "Here we talk about the lightning when lightning is intertwined. If copper and iron are used to contact it, it will trigger lightning. Haha... It's really nonsense. I will definitely not let the conspiracy of the foolish monarch and the treacherous minister succeed. Didn't he say that this can cause electricity? I will just lead it to see, and let's see, this induction from heaven is not something human power can interfere with."
After hearing this, everyone was solemnly respectful to Li Wen.
Yes.
Zhang Jingyi kept saying that thunder and lightning were not punishments of heaven, what kind of ghost charge and friction are there, and what clouds are there... People can actually cause electricity to be triggered. Such nonsense is a blessing for what he said.
As long as we induced this telegram, wouldn’t the rumors be broken?
So a scholar became indignant: "Mr. What's right, sir. Students should go with him."
