Chapter 12 The Ancients Are Actually Stupid
Chapter 12 The ancients were actually quite stupid
This is a altar built on Mount Tai to worship the heavens and repay the achievements of the heavens, so it is called a seal. This is a small mountain below Mount Tai to remove the land and repay the achievements of the earth, so it is called Zen.
In the 28th year of Emperor Qin Shi, the emperor toured Mount Tai and summoned 72 Confucian scholars from Qi and Lu to discuss the ceremony of Fengshan to show that he was ordered by heaven to become emperor.
However, Confucian scholars expressed their opinions. Although Zou Yan, a Yin-Yang master, relied on the "Five Virtues and Ends" as a basis, he still could not convince Confucian scholars to admit that the First Emperor was the son of heaven.
Therefore, Emperor Shihuang repelled the Confucian scholars and borrowed the rituals of Qin State to worship God Yong to grant Mount Tai, Zen Liangfu, and carved stones to praise Qin virtues.
The chant says, "The emperor was in power and made clear laws, and the ministers were rectified.
In twenty-six years, when he first joined the world, he was always indifferent to the people. He personally visited the people from afar, climbed Mount Tai, and visited the East Pole.
The ministers think about their origins, and only praise their merits. Their governance and operation are appropriate, and all their products are in good shape."
This is the famous Qinhuang Monument.
After the death of the First Emperor, the second emperor Hu Hai visited Mount Tai again in the winter of the first year of the Second Emperor. This time, Hu Hai recruited famous scholars from all over the world and wanted to worship the Mount Tai. It was a pity that the world was already panicked and no one responded to the call.
Therefore, the second emperor had to engrave his edict and his minister's name on his spare side as a travel notes.
Fengshan Mountain is the pinnacle of the emperor's achievements. Countless emperors who have aspirations here are pursuing Fengshan Mountain, and placing stones and carving achievements to pass on to future generations.
The First Emperor failed to succeed in the supremacy of the Confucian scholar Mount Tai, and he held a grudge. After returning to Xianyang, Prime Minister Li Si took the opportunity to slander. In anger, the First Emperor took the initiative to abolish books and bury scholars, which made the originally prosperous Confucianism suddenly enter a situation where everyone shouted and beaten.
Dong Zhongshu was not those Confucian scholars of Qi and Lu who had only one stubborn mind. When the emperor expressed his thoughts of seeking Mount Tai, he had already begun to quote the classics to find the theoretical support for Liu Che for the Tai Fengshan.
"A king received the order and changed his surname and would be promoted to Mount Tai.
what?
It is the right to teach.
When I first received the order, I would reform the heavens and make peace in the world, and things would become Fengshan to make peace."
Dong Zhongshu engraved this passage on a wooden slip and presented it to Liu Che.
The font is not a clerical script, but a delicate and beautiful small seal script, which is the same text as the inscription engraved by Li Si for Emperor II of Qin.
After reading these words, Liu Che stroked the wooden tablet for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "According to legend, Duke Huan of Qi was domineering, he met the princes in Caiqiu, and wanted to be loyal to the throne.
Guan Zhong said: In ancient times, there were seventy families of Chanliangfu, and there were two reporters from Yiwu Institute. In the past, Wu Huai's family had surrendered Mount Tai, Fuxi conferred Mount Tai, Shennong conferred Mount Tai, Yan Emperor conferred Mount Tai, Huang Emperor conferred Mount Tai, Emperor Ku conferred Mount Tai, Yao conferred Mount Tai, Shun conferred Mount Tai, Yu conferred Mount Tai, Tang conferred Mount Tai, and King Cheng of Zhou conferred Mount Tai. These are all things that the emperor can do if he has made great contributions to the world. How do you do it?
I think Guan Zhong's words also apply to me."
Dong Zhongshu was shocked and quickly spoke: "Your Majesty defeated the Huns and made the Huns flee north in a panic. The Hu horses still dare not step over the Great Wall. This is a great merit. How can we not be able to surrender Mount Tai?
The ancients spoke in a lot of falsehood, and there were no Huai family, Fuxi, Shennong family, Yan emperor, Huang emperor, Zhuanxu, Emperor Ku, Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, and King Cheng of Zhou. These emperors were too long to be able to identify Mount Tai, and perhaps this may happen, but it was just our speculation.
Since the First Emperor can be able to worship Mount Tai, Your Majesty should be the same as the First Emperor, and the Fengshan Mountain is inevitable."
Liu Che waved his hand and said, "Huo Qubing said: Why is the family responsible for the Huns not destroyed? His ministers can make such bold statements, why can't I?
Wait a little longer, let’s discuss this matter.”
Dong Zhongshu said anxiously: "The eldest son of Huo is now eight years old..."
Liu Che smiled and waved his hand and said, "That's because I want him to marry, it's not considered breaking my promise. I'll discuss this matter again. Please step back."
I thought this was the emperor's strategy of retreating to advancing, and the emperor would accept it only if his ministers repeatedly persuaded him to advance.
Dong Zhongshu had already written a quick article in his mind and wanted to persuade the emperor to join the emperor again, but when he saw that the emperor looked firm and seemed to have made up his mind, he sighed and withdrew from the court. He felt that it was necessary to discuss this matter with Yun Lang.
Liu Che stood up, looked at the wooden slips full of words in his hand again, came to the window, looked at the layers of lotus leaves outside the window and the blooming lotus flowers, shook his head, and said to himself: "The emperor who can make mistakes in the memorials is qualified to be a Fengshan Mountain?"
"Of course you are qualified. Just review the memorials you have reviewed for your Majesty's review of the memorials you have reviewed, and your Majesty is qualified to go to Mount Tai for the Fengshan and stand in the world with the ancient sages."
Only A Jiao can get close to Liu Che at this time.
Liu Che turned around and looked at Jiao holding the ginseng soup and smiled, "You are private me!"
A Jiao smiled and said, "I just think my husband is the best emperor since ancient times. Even when facing gods, I will say the same."
Liu Che took the ginseng soup with one hand and stuffed the wooden slip in his hand to Jiao and said, "Look at the text on it carefully.
If you understand, then talk about how your husband is wise and powerful."
Ajiao threw the wooden slip aside and said, "Listen to the ancients, so we should stop doing anything."
I heard from Yun Lang that the ancients were actually quite stupid.”
When Liu Che heard Ah Jiao’s words, the ginseng that had just been drunk into her mouth immediately sprayed out, spraying Ah Jiao’s face.
Gillian took out a handkerchief to help Liu Che, who was coughing, wipe his face, and said loudly, regardless of his own ginseng soup, "What is this wrong? The earliest ancients used to slash and fire to plant slashes and burns, used animal skins as a cold object, lived in caves, yelled poisonous slaughter, and were barefoot on the ground to enjoy chasing wild animals.
What's smart?
Let Your Majesty lead our great Han soldiers to fight against the ancient army. Whoever thinks will win or lose?"
Liu Che looked at Ajiao in surprise and said, "Where did your strange idea come from? Is it also Yun Lang telling you?"
Gillian shook her face and said, "When you were away, Yun Lang, Huo Qubing, Cao Xiang, and Li Gan are all guests of my concubines.
While drinking, drinking tea, playing mahjong, there were many interesting stories, including the setting that Huo Qubing led our Iron Cavalry of the Han Dynasty and the Qin general Bai Qi to fight to the death.
A few of us were looking for Bai Qi's military equipment in the study, and the training level of the troops under our jurisdiction, and then according to the optimal configuration, we selected 10,000 cavalry, and then compared it with the 10,000 cavalry commanded by Qubinger.
Then, Qubinger said that he did not need ten thousand cavalry, but only five thousand could defeat the murderer Bai Qi.
You don’t know that sometimes we play such a game all day, and sometimes, it’s not enough for a day.”
Liu Che frowned and said, "How can you hang out with a group of young people for a day?"
Gillian raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you feel uncomfortable? Do you think I will fall in love with a junior?"
Liu Che said angrily: "Nonsense!"
After that, he threw his robe sleeve and went to the brocade bed.
Gillian hurriedly caught up with Liu Che and pulled his sleeve and said, "Don't say that these younger generations need talent and talent, and those who need literature can have literary talent. Are you really not worried?"
Liu Che finished drinking the ginseng soup and threw the bowl to Gillian and said angrily: "I'll peel them now."
Gillian smiled and threw the bowl on the carpet, jumped onto the brocade bed and snuggled up to Liu Che and said, "This is the most comfortable time for me."
"Because I'm jealous of those younger generations?"
"Because you care about me, it makes me happy more than any reward."
Liu Che laughed and said, "I would rather suspect that you are gathered together to make bad plans than believe that you will have messy things."
Gillian looked up at Liu Che without saying a word, only her big eyes were filled with surprise.
Liu Che sniffled and said, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Gillian shook her head and said, "You would never say such things before, let alone joke about your majesty."
Liu Che frowned and said, "I am not a saint. It is impossible for me to have only one emperor's face forever. Sometimes I need to change it. In this way, life will be easier.
I really envy you for being able to play freely. I know that getting sick and fighting Bai Qi should be a very interesting game."
Gillian smiled and said, "The most interesting thing is not the result, but the two people collect documents that are beneficial to one side in the study, and then use these documents as bargaining chips to make the other side surrender little by little. After a game, it is no less than that of me personally going to the battlefield and playing it until I am fascinated. I seem to be in an ancient battlefield, floating on the ancient battlefield like a ghost, watching the battles with my own eyes, and staged on my nose.
Does Your Majesty want to play? I can ask Yunlang to design a war for you. Which famous general do you want to fight against in ancient times?
Lian Po, Wang Jian, or Li Mu?"
