Chapter 825: The Millennium (1)
"Divine authority of kings" This is a political period dominated by religion, a law advocated by the monarch in order to consolidate his power, which means that he is sent by the mandate of heaven to rule the world in the mortal world, and the king is the representative of the gods in the world, as the people can only follow the instructions of the monarch to do, and cannot resist.
Xia is such a dynasty, in the "Shangshu Summoning" said: "There is a summer dress (receiving) the mandate of heaven".
Through the union with the temple, Kai declared that his ancestors were gods, that he was the descendants of the gods, and that he governed the tribe, and that the position of co-leader was their family, thus opening the "family world".
The Xia Dynasty is not a very perfect country, it is still a relatively loose tribe, and the way of dividing the place is used, just like the one with the bear tribe back then, you just need to recognize the status of my co-master, and there is no necessary obligation.
Yu and Qi are relatively qualified rulers, but Qi's son Taikang is not good, Taikang only cares about play, ignoring political affairs, there are poor tribes take the opportunity to go west, and there is a good shooting leader Hou Yi in Xia Min with the support of Xia people to seize the Xia country.
Later, Taikang's grandson Shaokang defeated the poor tribe, historians called it "Shaokang Zhongxing", Xia went through more than ten generations, and finally ascended the throne and became the first tyrant in history.
Since the Xia Dynasty, a strange reincarnation in Chinese history that has always been unable to jump out has appeared, first the founding king worked hard, and then the country began to decline, if you meet a Ming lord during this time, then it will open a "Zhongxing" era, and then go downhill again, and finally the dynasty will perish, and the next dynasty will enter this cycle.
The same was true of the Shang Dynasty, when Shang Tang destroyed Xia in the Battle of Mingtiao and established Shang, a prosperous slave state began, and the Shang Dynasty was more like a country than Xia, forming a huge bureaucratic ruling body and army, and the emergence of oracle bone inscriptions.
After Shang Tang, the Shang Dynasty began to weaken, and when it came to the king of Pangeng, the capital was moved to Yin, and the Shang Dynasty began to revival, because the new capital was in Yin, so later generations called the Shang Dynasty "Yin Shang", and finally passed to the hands of the King of Zhou, and the Shang Dynasty perished.
In the Xia and Shang dynasties, a thousand years passed, and in this thousand years, Chen Kan was not limited to China, he traveled to all the civilizations that existed in Asia, Europe and Africa, and recited the "Huang Ting Jing" more than 1.4 million times.
Shang and Xia, like Xia, are both divine rights of kings, and they are both flaunting that their ancestors are gods, and it is legitimate for them to rule over all the people, but this set of statements has taken a thousand years to fool the public for a thousand years, and it has slowly become untenable at the beginning.
For the sake of legitimacy of its rule, the Zhou dynasty invented another kind of "divine right of king", which its own regime looked for a reasonable way to explain it.
The monarchy is still divinely granted, but this time the "divine grant" is a little different, God is not actually the ancestor of any clan, God is the supreme existence, God actually chooses the ancestor of a tribe as his spokesman in the world, if this spokesperson is not qualified, then replace it.
At the beginning, God chose the ancestor of the Qi tribe as the spokesperson, but later this spokesperson was not qualified, so he replaced it with the ancestor of the Shang tribe, and now this spokesperson is also unqualified, so he chose Zhou.
Therefore, the Zhou Dynasty had the legitimacy to rule the world, and the king of Zhou called himself "the son of Zhou" and set up a very perfect feudal system, which opened up the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years, which was the longest dynasty in Chinese history.
Chen Kan Yi became a white-haired old man, bored fishing on the edge of Weishui, and finally was recruited by King Wen, and finally helped King Wu to defeat the Zhou Dynasty, Chen Kan was divided into the world, after more than a thousand years, Chen Kan returned to the starting point again, divided into Qi land, and was now in Shandong.
This time, Chen Kan did not travel abroad, and Chen Kan needed a period of time to summarize his gains over the past 1,400 years.
For more than 1,400 years, Chen Kan has been an ordinary person, a temple priest, a tribal leader, a slave, and a nobleman in the Chinese region......
I have seen all the civilizations on the Asian, Eurasian and African continents, built a country from scratch, and destroyed ancient civilizations with my own hands......
He has recited the "Huang Ting Sutra" about two million times, constantly tempered his physical body with the "Quenching Technique", rethought his martial arts, and rebuilt his skills many times......
Fourteen hundred years is a long time.
"Huang Ting Jing" is indeed very useful, and I don't feel anything after one or two times, but after reading it one or two million times, the mountain in Chen Kan's upper dantian at this moment is no longer high, and the river at the foot of the mountain is like the sea, and it is impossible to see the edge.
If the mountain in the dantian of Chen Kan is Mount Tai now, then when the wind and clouds are on the plane, it is just an ordinary small hill, and the gap between it is thousands of miles.
Because the height is not high, Chen Kan doesn't know if the mountain continues to grow, but as the recitation continues, I don't know if it's Chen Kan's illusion, Chen Kan feels that the mountain has a tendency to become shorter.
In addition, regarding his own cultivation, Chen Kan also realized that the so-called "Golden Pill" in his dantian was actually just a golden pill of qi and blood, not the martial arts golden pill that he thought at the beginning, the martial arts golden pill is a condensed trinity of essence, qi and spirit, but that golden pill is only condensed by qi and blood, at most it is a two-in-one essence and spirit, and it lacks qi, so it is not a martial arts golden pill.
In order to condense a true martial arts golden pill, Chen Kan abolished his own cultivation six times, and re-cultivated seven times, cultivating the three essences, qi and spirits, hoping to reach the martial arts golden pill, but he has never been able to do so.
Thirty years ago, Chen Kan rebuilt for the sixth time, condensed a golden pill again, Chen Kan ended his wandering and returned to Shenzhou, returning from the west, just met King Wen of Zhou, and then pretended to be the old man who took the bait once, of course, not Jiang Taigong, but Chen Taigong.
I don't know if in the mythological stories in the future, the god man who holds the whip and seals the gods will change from the original Jiang Shang to Chen Shang.
Not long after completing the great cause, Chen Kan "died" again, and after Chen Kan "died", he found a deserted island in the East China Sea to retreat, hoping to sum up his feelings in the past 1,400 years and get one step closer.
Chen Kan believes that the cruise ship let him come to this plane, in addition to experiencing history, there must be other intentions, as for what, Chen Kan doesn't know, it may be to let himself find the way back, it may be to condense the martial arts Jindan......
But no matter what it was, Chen Kan decided to stay, and only left this plane when the thought of going back came to his heart.
