Chapter 665 Ancient Stele

Dong Zhongshu's response to heaven and man is to correspond to heaven and man one by one. People have limbs and heaven and four seasons, and to correspond to various phenomena in the sky with the situation in the human race. Of course, this is completely far-fetched. But because of these far-fetched explanations, everyone believes that disaster is a warning from God to the world, and it must be that someone on earth has not done it well.

A small earthquake occurred in Chang'an, which means that heaven is warning mankind that women should not be allowed to write books. It is reasonable and well-founded, so Li Shimin had a headache. Why did the earthquake suddenly occur? It doesn't matter if there is no earthquake, but if there is an earthquake, he will give an explanation. As the emperor, he is not willing to act rashly. If he does not respect these people who impeach Wu Meiniang, he will not be able to explain the earthquake and will not be able to continue to make the ministers obey.

By the way, Li Shimin had to abandon the car and protect the coach, preparing to stop Wu Meiniang from continuing to write books.

Wu Meiniang also knew that she was finished, and her plan to keep her name in history ended in vain. Although it was a pity, she could not prove that the earthquake had nothing to do with her. Unless she stopped studying the book, there would be a more violent earthquake, but this was impossible, after all, she was not a god.

Yun Yao also knew that these guys were engaged in feudal superstition. It is estimated that only superstition can defeat superstition. The power of science is too weak and it is impossible to prove that the response of heaven and man is wrong. If Guanyin Bodhisattva appears at this time and directly tells the people of Chang'an that Wu Meiniang should be asked to continue to write books, they will definitely be calm.

It is naturally a trivial matter to really use superstition. Yun Yao can scare them by showing his Dharma body, but it is wrong to use the identity of a god to ask mortals to do whatever they do. It is also explicitly prohibited by the Heavenly Court. Yun Yao doesn't like to do this. However, these princes and ministers have the right to speak, link earthquakes with book reviews, and attack them in groups. Even the emperor cannot fight against it, because this set of celestial human sensations is the origin of the emperor's legal power and is also the contract between the emperor and the ministers.

The emperor is the emperor, and if he refuses the response of heaven and man, he will commit suicide. If the emperor does not accept the response of heaven and man, the ministers will not have a way to control the emperor. Therefore, this set of rules of the game is to reach a tacit understanding between the two parties. Under the framework of the response of heaven and man, the ministers recognize that the emperor is the emperor, and the emperor must also admit that the disasters in heaven may be because the emperor has not done a good job and must also accept criticism.

So this rule is accepted by both sides. Although Li Shimin is a great master of his generation, he cannot overturn it. Therefore, the earthquake was either caused by Wu Meiniang's book writing, or it was caused by his own emperor's failure to do it well. Someone must take the blame. Since the ministers all said that it was because of women's book writing, that's it.

Li Shimin decided to let his daughter change another person. Anyway, there were more ministers who could do such things as writing books.

At this time, Qizhou Prefecture quickly reported that huge rocks cracked in the mountains and a "Zhu Nu Ancient Stele" appeared. There was a lot of content recorded. Qizhou Prefecture first sent the rubbing to Chang'an, and then the ancient stele would be sent together.

The reason why he attaches so much importance is that Zhu Nu is the idol of Princess Pingyang. Princess Pingyang often says that she wants to follow the example of the Book of Songs. Zhu Nu goes to fight to kill the enemy and acts on behalf of the heavens.

This ancient stele of Zhu Nv records how Zhu Nv led the people of Qilu to fish and hunt and produce, so Qizhou Prefecture thought that Li Shimin would definitely like it, so he sent it.

This ancient stele is an antique from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It was engraved by the owner of Yuelai Inn, who was stationed in the Second World before, in order to better worship Yunyao. The life of Yunyao was recorded and recorded until she wrote "Three Thousand Poems", which was an amazing discovery. First, it was confirmed that Zhu Nu did exist, and second Zhu Nu became the first woman to study books in history. Even if Wu Meiniang successfully compiled books, she could only be considered the second one.

There is only the "Three Hundred Poems" compiled by Confucius. I have never seen "Three Thousand Poems", but there are three thousand poems written on the ancient stele. The stone tablet is inlaid in the mountains and blocked by huge stones. But for some reason, the huge stones have recently rolled down and the stone tablet appears in the world. Everything seems to be indicating something.

Is it true or false? After hearing that the "Zhu Nu Ancient Monument" was born, the ministers in Chang'an immediately suspected that it might be someone who was making a fake, and that the ancient monument was very likely to be fake. Qizhou Prefecture probably accepted the benefits of the princess and deliberately created a "Zhu Nu Ancient Monument" to guide public opinion.

Why did the stone tablet appear at such a coincidence? Why did there be records of Zhu Nu's calligraphy on the stone tablet? This is too coincidental, just like a conspiracy. In fact, Yun Yao also felt a coincidence. Although she knew that because she arranged a lot of people from the First Mortal to come to the Second Mortal to open an inn early, she also knew that they had left many historical sites, including many records about herself, the time when this stone tablet appeared was indeed a coincidence.

But it is indeed an opportunity. As long as the topic of Zhu Nu is hyped up, there may be a glimmer of life. Because Princess Pingyang likes Zhu Nu and often uses Zhu Nu's deeds to show herself, the Li family is familiar with Zhu Nu's deeds.

Although there are many poems about war hunting in "Three Hundred Poems", most of them are men as the protagonists. Even if there are women, they describe how women worry about their men or the brave men they like. However, Zhu Nu is the only one who uses women as the protagonists of the war. The poem "Zhu Nu Kemu Yulong" describes the story of Zhu Nu representing his family to fight a strong enemy and finally defeating the enemy with his superb shooting skills.

However, in addition to the Book of Songs, there are not many written records of Zhu Nv, but there are many legends in Qilu, such as Zhu Nv was a female disciple of Confucius, and even local fishermen would worship Zhu Nv when they went out to sea. There are even more excessive sayings that Zhu Nv and Zhunzi swam through Qi together and helped Zhunzi understand the way of heaven. In Qilu, there are many legends about Zhu Nv. Of course, there are also other places, such as Wu Yue, where Zhu Nv and Xi Shi seduced King Fuchai of Wu, saying that Xi Shi was good at dancing, while Zhu Nv was good at telling stories. Fuchai was fascinated by the two women and finally lost the country.

Of course, there are also some stories about Zhunn’s stories in the western countries, but not as many as Qilu. It’s like Zhunn’s running around and being the first backpacker in the Spring and Autumn Period.

"If Zhu Nu traveled to compile the Book of Songs, it would explain why she could leave her footprints everywhere," said Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, I think this stone tablet is fake, and folk rumors are not credible. If according to legend, Zhu Nu went through the entire Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, was a disciple of Confucius, and jointly founded the Mo family with Mozi, and discussed the Tao with Zhuangzi. The three were more than a hundred years apart, so it was impossible for such a person to be there. What's more, it takes a lot of days for us to travel all over the Tang Dynasty. In the chaotic times of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, even if a woman is good at shooting arrows, she would not be able to travel all over the world in her whole life. So the stone tablet said that she wrote "Three Thousand Poems" was pure nonsense and nonsense."

"But there are legends about Zhunn's daughter not only in Qilu, Jingchu, Western Qin, and even Baiyue. How can I explain this?" Li Shimin asked. He hoped that someone could live hundreds of years old so that he could learn more. The older he was, the more afraid of death. Although Li Shimin used to be disdainful of the alchemist, he began to believe it now.
