In fact, Guo Peng had known this day would come long ago.

There is no difference between coming now or coming later.

This textbook on studying physics was his last attempt, and he sent Guo Jin the final attempt.

Guo Jin's reaction was actually not beyond his expectations.

Since Dong Zhongshu innovated Confucianism in order to maintain the imperial power and unification, the divine right of the monarch has become the foundation of this entire ethical system of the monarch and ministers.

This entire system is rigorous, strong, and well-founded.

The emperor has since gained a mysterious veil and became a sacred existence. Every word and action is truth, he has the words and deeds, and he has theories of heaven, and his words follow the laws. In theory, he has unlimited power.

The ministers depended on the imperial power and exchanged loyalty for the emperor's trust. They were granted this power, exercised power on behalf of the emperor, and survived as minions of the imperial power in a way that the emperor could not reach.

When it comes to the people, the existence of the family has also been transformed and strengthened by the theory of principles. The emperor is the monarch of the world, the head of the family is the monarch of the family. The emperor has unlimited power over the world, and the head of the family has unlimited power over the family.

In theory, the emperor can act recklessly against the people of the world, and in theory, the head of the family can act recklessly against the family. All of this is based on the divine authority of the king and the Three Bonds and Five Constant Permanences.

In order to cover up this too naked law with warmth, avoid and limit resistance, loyalty alone is not enough.

So the ruler cleverly chose the great righteousness of [filial piety], wrapped the cloak of filial piety on the basis of the divine authority of the monarch, making this ugly ethical system look warm and affectionate.

Because of loyalty, the ministers must obey the emperor.

Because of filial piety, younger generations cannot resist elders.

The justice of resistance was suppressed by [Loyalty and Filial Piety], and instantly became a rebellious act, which was unwilling to the world.

For his own interests, the emperor will of course try his best to maintain this system.

The king is the leader of the minister. Although the ministers are oppressed by the emperor, they can also gain benefits from this oppression, gain the dividends of power, and satisfy their own rights and interests. Of course, they must also try their best to safeguard them.

It is difficult to get the power distribution among the people, in grassroots societies with family units.

However, because the husband is the wife's leader and the father is the son's leader, even the head of the ordinary family has gained a relatively advantageous position in this system, and of course, this system must be maintained.

The feudal monarchy power bound the patriarchy, husband power, monarch, people, and common people reached an unprecedented agreement on this system.

The power of the king and the power of the three pillars and the five constants became the ideological foundations throughout China's feudal society.

The ingenuity of this system lies not only in this, but also in the fact that it has shackled the emperor, shackled the ministers, and shackles the people of the world.

If everyone wants to maintain superficial harmony, they must maintain this system.

Although this ideological system is far from the Confucianism that Confucius insisted on, it is called Confucianism.

This is a very inclusive system that encompasses the entire ancient Chinese society and goes deep into the grassroots of the people, regardless of wealth and poverty, so that every man can make profits in this system.

Not only men, sometimes women will be older because of losing their husbands, so they use the existence of filial piety to replace their husbands’ patriarchy, become the head of the family, and become vested interests in this system.

It is precisely because under such a system, any person may become a person who oppresses others, may gain benefits from it, and may become the person who [cannibalism], so that under cruel class oppression, this system can last for nearly two thousand years.

Speaking of which, this system is really "fair".

Just make any person a possible person who cannibalizes people, and just make any person a possible person an oppressor.

Therefore, everyone is silently maintaining him.

With the efforts of elites such as Emperor Wu of Han and Dong Zhongshu, a conservative, super stable social structure that excludes progress was born.

After this, no matter whether the dynasty changes or breaking up or reunion, this social structure has never changed. Without strong external forces, this system can probably be maintained until the end of time.

The power of the divine power, imperial power, patriarchal power, and husband power have been bound. You have me and I have you, and Guo Peng himself is deeply involved in it.

He was the emperor of heaven and succeeded the Han Dynasty's legal system. The establishment of a country was fundamentally the legal system.

He did not establish Wei State and became emperor because he gained the support of the people. The legitimacy of his power came from the deposed emperor Liu Jian. Liu Jian's legitimacy of power came from the Han Dynasty and from heaven.

Guo Peng is Emperor Wei, Emperor and Tian’s son. He is in charge of Tian’s actions. Tian takes the blame, and Tian is responsible for explaining whether he can understand it or not.

You have come to this point with this common social understanding, but you will have to cross the river and destroy the bridge?

The first argument in the study of the Investigation of Things was like this when there was a debate in the court. At that time, Guo Jin was busy consolidating his power and had no time to take care of this matter. Guo Peng also needed time to prepare for this matter, so the core dispute was put on hold.

To this day, the formal promotion of Investigation and Physical Science has become a foregone conclusion, and this is related to the understanding of the foundation of this set of three pillars and five constant ethical systems, and has become the core interest that Guo Jin cannot give in.

The existence of imperial power is not a secular cognition itself.

This overly infinite and vast power requires mysterious power beyond human cognition to take the blame, so that it can barely gain common recognition from society. If this recognition is overturned, the foundation of imperial power will be shaken.

The foundation of the Wei Empire will be shaken.

Reshape cognition?

With such a huge and infinite power, who will take the blame for you?

The ministers all knew that this was a disguise, but they needed to make a profit from it, so of course they would not say much.

But all the people in the world believe it.

Now you take the initiative to tell them that this is fake, and then what?

How do you explain to the people of the world that you can have such powerful power?

Tell them that everything is false, there is no god, no heaven, no celestial sense, no god, no god, all of which are the means and tools of rulers?

I will tell you all this in order to be safe and compliant with the people, and then be honestly oppressed and exploited?

Father, do you want to watch our Wei Kingdom die in the second generation?

Guo Jin used the core interests of the Guo Wei regime to question Guo Peng, and he hoped that his father would not lose his mind.

His father can always do something beyond his imagination. Even if it is the past, it can be regarded as maintaining the rule of the Wei Empire. This time, Guo Jin really can't bear it.

He questioned Guo Peng for the first time.

Guo Peng was silent in front of Guo Jin for a long time.

He looked at Guo Jin and felt pain in his heart, but after the pain, he realized it.

Then he made a decision.

"A Jin, just do what you said. If you think there is something inappropriate there, just delete it. Let's keep the others. Studying physics is still useful."

Guo Jin was stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect Guo Peng to be so easy to talk to.

I thought Guo Peng wanted to talk to him about a lot of big truths again, trying to make him understand something, and even quarrel and parted in an unhappy way.

Guo Jin no longer wants to listen to such a thing now.

When I was not an emperor, I still had the thought of listening, but now I am an emperor, and my mind is full of power and achievements. Where can I have time to listen to my father chatting?

I am an adult, I am not a child anymore, and I have the ability to take responsibility for everything I do.

So Father, don't tell me those big truths.

This is how Guo Jin thought.

The worst outcome is that Guo Peng has to force this, while he faces a dilemma.

Of course, before coming to Mount Tai, he had already made a decision. Even if Guo Peng wanted to force himself to do it, he would have to stop it with all his might and would never let him do so.

Unless Guo Peng can make up his mind to destroy him and become the emperor again.

He felt that such a possibility was not without. Although it was so low that it was unbelievable, it also had such possibility.

But he didn't expect that Guo Peng would really follow his wishes, say nothing, preach, oppose, scold, or be angry.

Guo Peng just agreed so plainly.

So that Guo Jin was a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Father, is this... really OK?"

"Of course, you are the emperor, you have the final say."

Guo Peng smiled, his face full of gentleness, and he could not see any other expressions.

Guo Jin hesitated for a while, and seeing that Guo Peng was not really joking, he felt relieved and saluted Guo Peng and left Mount Tai Palace.

He wanted to instruct the newly established Gewu Hall to delete and re-edit this Gewu textbook according to his will, and must not let some information that should not be made public to the public, threatening the stability and dominance of the Guo and Wei regime.

Having said that, we really live on a ball?

Guo Jin has always believed in Guo Peng very much, but he was very surprised about this matter.

If you tell this kind of thing, do people really believe it?

However, according to Guo Peng's statement, it really explains a lot of things that seem strange in daily life, but when you think about it carefully, it is very problematic.

Could it be that all this is true?

While walking, Guo Jin looked through the experimental material of the study of physics in his hand, his face full of confusion.

What a huge gravity.

Where did my dad know about these things, such as rising tides, sunsets, and moonsets?

Although everyone in power knows that this entire system protects everyone's interests and the emperor's interests, when a brand new doctrine is in front of him, Guo Jin also began to think and doubt.

A lie is told a thousand times and it becomes the truth. Originally, there was no God in the world, but as many believers were born, there was God.

So even within the ruling class, there are people who really believe Dong Zhongshu's theory and regard it as a guideline.

Now, it is impossible to let everyone overturn this theory.

Guo Jin couldn't think of any of them, so he had to think about it before going to ask Guo Peng when he had free time in the future.

After Guo Jin left, Guo Peng did not go to find Cao Lan, but sat alone in the pavilion in the garden behind Mount Tai Palace for a long time.
