Chapter 934 Flattery - Liu Wei!
"The Book of Songs·Daya·Jianghan" says: "It is clear that the emperor has made people heard about it endlessly." Since King Wu of Zhou established the world, the emperor of Zhou, who had the divine power of kingship, became the supreme one in the world and exercised his privileges to ennoble the princes.
Later, it went through the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties. In order to gain the throne of the emperor, countless heroes died, including Li Chengqian's elders and brothers.
But after going to the military industrial zone to see the other eight tripods that had been cast, both the emperor and Li Chengqian had an inexplicable feeling in their hearts. How can I describe it? They were excited and surging.
Especially Li Shimin, who dared to kill his brothers who had grown up together, and let the master of his father's place see this Jiuding, which symbolizes the "power of the emperor". He would not be inflated if he held the "ancestral dragon" jade seal passed down from the country.
Weird.
But the good times didn't last long. Just when the Jiuding was about to be transferred to the Ancestral Temple to be used for festivals, Li Shimin suddenly changed his mind and specifically ordered the Jiuding to be placed in front of the Hanyuan Hall for the ministers to go to court.
Everyone can admire the grace of Jiuding, so it is placed in such a conspicuous position.
No, as soon as he placed the Jiuding in a circle, with the Yongzhou tripod symbolizing Guanzhong in the middle, he hurriedly called Li Chengqian, Fang Du and others to taste it and let the ministers see if it was appropriate to place it like this.
, if anyone comes up with better suggestions, there will be an unexpected reward.
There are only nine tripods in total. In fact, it doesn’t matter how you place them. Even if someone comes forward and comes up with any tricks, it will just change their position. Apart from being easily regarded as a fawning jester, there will be no other results at all. So be a responsible minister.
Everyone with different identities also kept silent and looked at each other, no one wanted to be the one who stood out.
Li Chengqian thought of how to make the emperor happy. He believed that other important ministers also wanted it, but it was too embarrassing to be a clown. As the crown prince of a country, he had to respect his dignity no matter what!
But there is always a shortage of opportunistic people in this world. The servant Liu Jie stood up under the "surprised" eyes of everyone, and then said: "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter how I place it. Your Majesty's emperor's style is unprecedented.
For those who have no future, doing whatever you want is the great way, and none of my ministers have any objections!"
Just when everyone thought that Liu Jie's nonsense was over, this guy took advantage of the emperor's joy to hang up his book bag. Everyone except the emperor was extremely "ashamed" and cast a strange look at Liu Jie's words.
The "appreciative" look. Being able to flatter is not the key, the key is being able to show shame. At least here, no one is more shameless than him.
The Jiuding was visited by Yu the Great, and its intention was to protect China's prosperity, peace and prosperity, and it has always been used as the most important ritual vessel for worshiping heaven. After King Wu of Zhou established the country, he still inherited the Xia and Shang systems, and used the Jiuding as the symbol of royal power.
symbol.
When King Zhao of Qin was on the throne, he moved the Nine Tripods to the Qin Dynasty, which symbolized the end of the Zhou Dynasty! Except for the Yuzhou tripod brought back by Li Chengqian, the other eight tripods have disappeared in the long river of history.
This is a very old-fashioned story, and none of you here are knowledgeable people. This kind of little allusion that even urchins can "remember by heart" makes Liu Jie seem to be showing off his leftovers.
But since Liu Jie can be ranked among the prime ministers, he is naturally not the kind of person who just cooks leftovers. When he saw this guy, he immediately brought the focus of the topic from Jiuding to the word "Emperor".
As we all know, since King Wu defeated Zhou, he became the emperor, and Cheng Kang succeeded him, all of them were the masters of the guardian order. There were also a group of virtuous ministers such as Zhou Gong, Zhao Gong, Bi Gong, Shi Yi, etc. to assist the government.
Fu Min'an.
In order to consolidate his status and political power, he claimed that his power was granted by God and he governed the world according to the will of God, so he was called the Son of Heaven. In this way, the Son of Heaven not only became the supreme being in the world, but was also equivalent to finding a "Heaven" for himself.
father.
And its side effects are also very obvious. In some dynasties, due to the weakening of imperial power, the divine authority overrode the imperial authority, such as Emperor Wu of Liang who became a monk three times and was redeemed by his ministers.
Liu Jie dared to say this because he understood the emperor, and even his own father could not tolerate it. How could he easily kowtow to God, his "godfather", every year? In addition, the restrictions on Buddhism proposed by the prince
From this point of view, we can see how deeply the emperor hated the so-called divine power.
If he could combine the so-called divine power and imperial power in a great sense, then the credit would not be great. A few empty words could become the mainstay of the emperor's fight against the divine power. Why not do it!
So, under this psychological influence, Liu Jie cupped his hands and said: "Before the Shang Dynasty, the title of the supreme was King of Humans or Emperor of Humanity. King Zhou was replaced by King Wu. From then on, the title of Human King was discontinued, and the title of Emperor was used instead.
The original supreme being in the human world has become the son of heaven and earth. I think there is something wrong with this title."
"When King Zhao was king, he wanted to get rid of the shackles of the title of emperor by calling him Emperor of the West. However, due to the limitations of the times, he had to give up. Today, our country is strong and powerful, and your majesty's achievements far exceed those of Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han.
, then why can't he ascend the throne of the human emperor, combine divine power and imperial power into one, and become an emperor who is superior to those so-called gods."
After speaking, the flatterer Liu Jie winked at Wei Wang Li Tai, indicating that he could stand up and take advantage of the situation. Therefore, Li Tai, who understood the situation, quickly took over the words: "Father, I think this is what Liu Xiang said."
Very reasonable......"
Li Tai was very knowledgeable and not stupid. Of course he knew what Liu Jie meant. Now that Liu Jie had opened his head, he would naturally continue to talk. The one who only listened to him shaking his head was the one who was stinked by King Zhou.
Talking about the Hunjun who lived for more than a thousand years.
At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, King Zhou traveled through the southeast, conquered Dongyi, expanded the power of the Shang Dynasty to the Jianghuai area, and consolidated the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty. However, when a person reaches middle age, especially when his achievements have reached a certain level, he will inevitably become proud and complacent.
He became overbearing and domineering, so he attracted many vassal states to hide his secrets.
In the end, in the Battle of Muye, he was defeated by the vassal states headed by Zhou. He died and his country was destroyed, which made the world laugh. Then the historians of the Zhou Dynasty, under the care of their superiors, recorded him as the subjugated king who was killed by the rebels.
Became an eternal tyrant.
His "disrespect to God" was deliberately recorded as "opposing the divine right", "reforming old customs", and "appointing sinners" and not re-employing nobles, and understanding him as breaking the hereditary system of the vassal states. This is nothing more than trying to protect their interests.
Below, to cover up the fact that the regicide was committed above.
