"Qianshou Kangding, Lize for a long time, this is His Majesty's original words on the carved stone of Yishan, you are afraid that before you met Your Majesty, you only heard it from the fifth doctor Yang Xu, but you will learn and use it now."

There was a voice from behind, and Hefu turned his head to find that the fat man behind him was not leaving, and was sitting on a big rock, panting.

Of course, the fat man who spoke was Zhang Cang, I don't know if it was because he was forty years old, or because he ate too many sweets, he was fatter than when Heifu left Xianyang, and he was probably a fat man of two hundred pounds in the next life. The round moon face was bigger, but fortunately he had a rather heroic beard, which covered his fat chin.

The carriage and horse could only reach the bottom of the mountain, unable to cross the ridge, and along the way, Zhang Cang was already tired and out of breath just to keep up with Heifu's footsteps.

Heifu didn't urge him, let the group rest and rest in this ravine, and said with a smile to Zhang Cang: "Otherwise, what else can I do?" Do you want to learn from Linzi and Jibei Zhushou and offer dragons and turtles? I don't want to deceive you. ”

"Bully? How dare they deceive the king? ”

Zhang Cang sneered: "Don't Your Majesty know that those so-called auspicious Ruiduo are fake? It's just that Qi Huan is good at serving purple, and a country is serving purple; King Chu Ling has a thin waist, and he starves to death in the palace, and it is just an upward and downward effect! If Your Majesty does not want the counties to offer auspiciousness, only one or two people need to be severely punished, saying: 'Less, I am not good for auspiciousness', then within one day, the ministers will not dare to offer auspiciousness; ”

To put it bluntly, a slap does not make a sound, and only with the acquiescence of the emperor can officials scramble to show the lower limit.

Zhang Cang's fat finger pointed at Heifu and said: "In my opinion, you think that Zhu Shou's whiskers are too rough, and you want to teach them, sure enough, Your Majesty praised you after hearing your words, it is really a high judgment." ”

He then became serious again: "But although what you said is also sycophancy, what you said is correct. The way of heaven is tied to the hearts of the people, what God sees, comes from what the people see, what God hears, and what the head of the Qiantou hears. The real auspiciousness is the praise of the people, not the five spirits of the phoenix. ”

Heifu knew that Zhang Cang was an "atheist", and was deeply influenced by his teacher Xunzi's sentence "Heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for ruin".

Therefore, in front of Heifu, Zhang Cang unceremoniously pointed out the ridiculousness of this kind of national dedication to auspiciousness for the emperor to build momentum.

But what can be done, to speak out like Fusu? His Majesty the Emperor is on the rise, and being a courtier will not benefit Heifu at all.

So he stopped the topic and asked Zhang Cangdao instead: "Your Majesty's sealing of Zen is imminent, and the auspicious Rui has been completed, so there is no need to mention it again, just talk about another thing." ”

"As far as I know, anyone who reads is very enthusiastic about Zen meditation. Your senior brother, the great Confucian Fuchubo of Jiaodong, has always been reluctant to be an official, but when he heard that His Majesty was enshrined in Zen, he even regretted that he was too old to come to see the grand occasion. The Confucianism and hundreds of officials are eagerly discussing in the palace at the foot of Mount Tai, and the process and etiquette of sealing Zen hope to be formulated by themselves, and the good name will be immortalized. On the contrary, it was you, Zhang Zijun, a master disciple of Xunmen who was proficient in etiquette and etiquette, but deliberately begged for an errand to come to the Yin and Yang watershed of Mount Tai to worship, and deliberately avoided it, why is this? ”

Zhang Cang wanted to speak, looked at the Fengchang officials who seemed to be urging them to leave, and said in a low voice: "Wait until the Great Wall of Qi, I'll tell you again." ”

Before sealing Mount Tai, there is a set of complicated processes, to worship the surrounding mountains and rivers, of course, this can not let the emperor all do it himself, so they sent ministers to do it on their behalf, Heifu and Zhang Cang's turn is the sacrifice of "the yin and yang of Mount Tai".

The sun of Mount Tai, Wenshui flows westward; Its yin, the water flows eastward. The streams of the Yang Valley all flow into Wenshui, and those in the Yin Valley flow into Jishui, and the place where the north and south valleys divide is the Great Wall of Qi in front of them.

The Great Wall of Qi is built in the undulating Taiyi Mountains, although there are flat valleys along the line, but most of them are mountains. The Great Wall is built on the mountain, and its buildings are not tall, but they are connected together, like a stone snake spiraling along the mountain, which is indeed magnificent.

"It extends eastward from the Fangmen near Pingyin, through Shimen, Jiagu, and Muling Pass, until the Jimo Seashore, nearly a thousand miles from east to west."

Zhang Cang easily climbed the Great Wall of Qi, looked into the distance, and couldn't help but cheer at the fat house that had not been out of Xianyang City for a long time.

Heifu laughed and said that if he went to Shuofang and Yunzhong in Saibei, and saw the "Great Wall" after Meng Tian connected the Great Wall of Yan, Zhao and Qin, it would be spectacular!

And this Great Wall of Qi also played a role in defending Jin and Chu back then, but now, it has lost its military function and has been reduced to a useless stone wall.

Heifu also has a set of theories: "The Central Plains cannot be called the Great Wall, but can only be called a barrier to hinder business and travel." And only those who stand in a desperate situation outside the fortress, resist the alien Rongdi, and protect the people on the frontier can be called the Great Wall! ”

"Only only, as you say."

Zhang Cang sent the officials to prepare the complicated sacrificial ceremony, and he said to Heifu: "You just asked me why I have little interest in Feng Chan? ”

"I'll tell you, because this Mount Tai Feng Zen is not an ancient thing at all, but a lie made up by the people of Qilu!"

……

"Feng Zen is fake?"

Heifu was stunned, he didn't know much about the doorway, but everyone around him repeatedly told him that Feng Zen has been around since ancient times.

Zhang Cang's senior brother, Jiaodong Confucianism Fu Qiubo tirelessly said that ancient emperors such as Wuhuai, Fuxi, Shennong, Yandi, Huangdi, Yao, Shun, Yu, etc. have all held a ceremony to seal Zen.

But today, on the Great Wall near Mount Tai, Zhang Cang has exposed this lie.

"Although Fu Chubo is my senior brother, he is a gentle elder who took good care of me back then, but he only learned the surface of the master, but he did not get the true essence!"

Then, Zhang Cang began a logical and meticulous examination to prove that "Feng Chan" is not ancient.

"I was in charge of the world's books in the Imperial History Mansion, and I searched through all the historical books I could find, and found that Zhou Tianzi had asked people to take the system in the four mountains, but Mount Tai was only one of the four mountains, and there was nothing special. Until the time of Confucius, although various countries had sacrificed to their mountains and rivers, no one mentioned Mount Tai to seal Zen, even the Analects never mentioned it. At most, Lu Hou and Ji traveled to Mount Tai, but that was just a small sacrifice for Lu Guo. ”

"It was not until nearly two hundred years, especially after the construction of the Jixia School Palace, that the theory of Feng Zen has sprung up. At first, he only dared to say that Yao Shunyu Tang Zhou Cheng Wang Feng Chan, and later became more and more bold, and gradually said that Fuxi, Shennong, Emperor Yan, and Yellow Emperor also sealed Mount Tai. Now, out of thin air, there are many more 'ancient emperors' who are older than Fuxi and Shennong, and there are no Huai clan and the like, adding up to seventy-two kings......"

"Those ancient emperors really came to Mount Tai to seal Zen? Why is there not a word in the history books? It has to be rediscovered in recent times! ”

Heifu listened, but he didn't say anything, but said with a smile: "Fu Qiubo said that in "Guanzi", Guan Zhong persuaded Qi Huan Gong not to do the matter of sealing Zen, and counting the seventy-two kings who sealed Zen Mount Tai before, how can this be explained? ”

"It's also fake."

Zhang Cang brushed his sleeves and said: "Although the knowledge in "Guanzi" is extensive, this book is written in the name of the princes of Jixia under the false trusteeship. The text is relatively easy to understand, and it is not at all as simple as the article in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the fact that Qi Huan Gong intends to seal Zen mentioned in it is a fiction of Mr. Jixia, not a fact. ”

"This kind of thing that supports the ancient and the present is not isolated, just take Zen Rang as an example, what Yao Shun Zen Rang is also ancient, and it is advocated by the Confucianism of Mo and Zi Zhang. They fabricated ancient things, wrote articles such as "The Way of Tang Yu", and spread them in the world, believing that only Zen could end the chaos...... My master said at that time that Yao Shun Chan Rang is a lie, a legend of the shallow, and a saying of the ugly! ”

"Stop, stop."

Seeing that Zhang Cang's mouth cannon was bombarded from Feng Zen to Zen Rang, and he was about to start a long criticism, Heifu hurriedly asked him to stop:

"Today I only talk about Feng Zen, not Zen Rang, and you will make the former clear."

Zhang Fatzi spread his hands: "This is the case, how else can you say it?" ”

In a word, according to his research and understanding of the gentlemen under Jixia, Zhang Cang knew that this group of Qilu Confucian scholars and scholars dared to make up anything in order to sell their political ideas. Feng Chan has not existed since ancient times, but has been a fiction of the people of Qilu and especially the Qi people in the past two hundred years.

That's why there will be the appearance of Qi Huan's confession, and at the same time, he will choose to seal Zen in Mount Tai.

"Is Tarzan tall? Can it be so high that after climbing it, you feel that all the mountains in the world are small? Zhang Cang asked Heifu this sentence.

Heifu shook his head and said with a smile: "People who think like this, I'm afraid it's because they have gone too few places and don't have enough knowledge......"

In terms of altitude alone, Mount Tai is actually not high at all, not as good as Mount Hua, not as good as Helan Mountain that Heifu saw outside the Saiwai, and compared with the snow-capped mountains of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the west of the Qin Kingdom, it cannot be compared.

But in the eyes of the people of Qilu, Mount Tai, which is located at the junction of Qilu, stands out in the plains and hills, which is the highest mountain in the "world".

Why did Zeus and the Greek gods live on Mount Olympus? Because it is the mountain of the Greeks.

In the same way, the place of Feng Chan is not in Huashan, not in Songshan, but in Mount Tai, just because, in the past two hundred years, the cultural center of the world is in Qilu and in Jixia Xue Palace. Therefore, the regional gods and mountains of Qilu have been said to be the beliefs of the whole world since ancient times.

This is what the gentlemen of Jixia have prepared for the king of Tianqi, who is most likely to ascend to the throne of heaven and conquer the world, and it is an enthronement ceremony for the future unification of the country.

Later, the declining Qi State had lost this qualification, but the theory of Feng Chan was spread by more and more scholars who came out of Jixia, spread throughout Kyushu, and finally became the truth!

"Since ancient times, he has been appointed as an emperor, and he can't be a Zen canon?" This lie, which has been emphasized countless times, has been accepted by intellectuals all over the world, and they stubbornly believe that it is true, and even the invincible Qin Shi Huang has to accept this theory in turn.

Heifu recognized Zhang Cang's words and sighed: "When it's true and fake, it's also true." ”

He wasn't stupid enough to ask Zhang Cang, why did he know that the matter of sealing Zen was a fiction in recent times, but he didn't tell Qin Shi Huang the truth?

Because, the emperor does not need the truth.

It doesn't matter whether the ancient emperors sealed Zen is true or false, the important thing is that the people of the world think this is true, and Qin Shi Huang also needs to use Feng Zen to package the empire, so that his achievements can be "recognized" by heaven and earth.

The Qin State has always been a doctrine of borrowing, as long as it is beneficial to its own rule, it will not hesitate to use it, such as the Legalists, the Moists, the five virtues of the Yin and Yang families, and the Confucian Confucianism.

If you are really the Son of Heaven and receive the mandate of Heaven with virtue and fortune, then there will be a sign of ordination, that is, there will be a Fu Rui. With this visible credential, one can be qualified to attain Zen. And only by sealing Zen can one be qualified to rule the world by "carrying it from heaven......

Qin Shi Huang needed to make the people of the world recognize this fact by sealing Zen, which was good for the great unification.

So even if Zhang Cang knows everything about Feng Chan in his heart, he is happy to see it.

What's more, the warlock also emphasized in the ears of Qin Shi Huang that whether it is to the west to find the Western Queen Mother State or to the east to find immortals, sealing Zen is an indispensable part of immortality......

After saying this, Zhang Cang shook his head and said: "So in the end, perhaps, Your Majesty is the first person to seal Zen in ancient and modern times!" ”

"I see why you're staying away from this."

Heifu said with a smile: "Although the Confucian scholars claim to have a long history of sealing Zen, this is actually the first time to seal Zen, there is no precedent at all, three hundred people, seven or eight schools, and there are at least seven or eight views...... It seems that this troublesome matter of Mount Tai sealing Zen has just begun! ”

……

Heifu did not guess wrong, and on the 14th of August, when he and Zhang Cang finished their errands and returned to the palace at the foot of Mount Tai, they found that the lively atmosphere of the Confucian Confucianism discussing the Zen sealing ceremony here before had become lonely as if blown by the cold wind on the top of the mountain......

"Five doctors, what's wrong?" Hefu asked knowingly.

The fifth doctor, Yang Xu, was anxious about this matter, and sighed:

"Shao Shangzao doesn't know, yesterday and today, the group of Confucians discussed the Zen ceremony, but they had their own opinions, there were more than ten kinds of sayings, more than 300 people were noisy, and finally even started to move, Your Majesty was angry, and they were all blown out!"
