Confucian self-cultivation: Scholars start from Daqin

"I see!"

Gao Jing was stunned and said, "What does Your Majesty want to know?"

Ying Zheng said: "Seven countries, seven boxes, what exactly are Canglong Qisu?"

"do not know."

Gao Jing shook his head and said, "It's just a guess based on the records of Xiaoshengxianzhuang." 540

Ying Zheng sat up straight and said, "Shangqing, please tell me."

Gao Jing thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, have you ever discovered that there are very few records about Yin and Shang in all the books in the world?"

Ying Zheng was taken aback for a moment, not knowing why, but he still thought about it and said, "It seems to be true! Why?"

Gao Jing said seriously: "Because it's too ugly, someone deliberately erased it!"

Ying Zheng was surprised: "Who?"

"Duke Zhou!" Gao Jing highlighted two words.

Ying Zheng's expression changed for a while, and he said, "Please elaborate!"

Gao Jing sighed and said, "Does Your Majesty know about "human sacrifice"?"

"Naturally know."

"Nowadays people may know it, but they don't feel it."

Gao Jing stretched out his hand, dipped his finger in the tea, wrote a word on the table, and said, "This is the character for "cutting" in the Zhou Dynasty. What does your majesty think it looks like?"

Ying Zheng stared at the word, and said after a while, "It's like one person is beheading another."

Gao Jing wrote another word: "This is "Mao", what does your majesty think?"

Ying Zheng stared at it for a moment, then shook his head: "I can't tell."

Gao Jingdao (bhdj): "This is a person who had his spine cut off, causing his ribs to turn out. There was a kind of sacrifice in the Shang Dynasty called "Mao Sacrifice". One of a kind!

In addition, there were amputation of hands and feet, chopping at the waist, cutting off the skull, pulling out the ribs... Not only that, Yin Shang also practiced cannibalism, cooking and eating the heads of girls.

The trend of human sacrifice is prevalent, it can be said that the entire Shang Dynasty has the habit of cannibalism! "

Ying Zheng's face turned livid.

Gao Jing continued: "In the beginning, Yin Shang's human sacrifices were only from foreign tribes, and the Zhou people surnamed Ji were a tribe that plundered foreign tribes for Yin Shang to serve as "human sacrifices".

At that time, Zhou people were only responsible for plundering "human sacrifices". Just like the king, they had no intuitive experience with the word "human sacrifice" until King Wen of Zhou entered the capital of Shang!

At that time, King Zhou was no longer satisfied with human sacrifices from foreigners, and believed that the more noble the sacrifices, the better, so he chose the nobles as the objects of "human sacrifices".

King Wen of Zhou took his son into the capital of Shang. On the main road at the entrance, he witnessed a sacrificial activity in which nobles were used as "human animals".

King Wen of Zhou also discovered that killing people was not only for sacrifice, but also for the sacrifices themselves. From the princes and nobles to the common people, they all indulged in these bloody rituals. In addition, King Wen of Zhou was later imprisoned in Yuli , and further came into contact with "human sacrifice"...

The king probably knows what happened next. "

Yingzheng's expression was ugly, and he said, "Bo Yikao, the son of King Wen of Zhou, died at the hands of King Zhou in order to save his father. King Wen of Zhou attacked King Zhou because of this."

"It's not that simple."

Gao Jing shook his head, and said, "Bo Yi Kao actually won the trust of King Zhou, and even became King Zhou's ruler, but because of this, Boyi Kao was sacrificed by King Zhou, cooked and made into dried meat, and distributed to the king. King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou.

In order to survive, the two of them had to eat dried meat made from Bo Yi Kao's meat...Does Your Majesty know the reason why "Duke Zhou vomited dried meat"? "

Ying Zheng covered his mouth, feeling nauseous.

"King Wu of Zhou was troubled by nightmares because of this, so he had to ask Duke Zhou to interpret his dreams."

Gao Jing continued: "Later, Zhou replaced Shang, and King Wu of Zhou entrusted Zhou Duke with full authority over state affairs. In order to completely abolish human sacrifice, Zhou Duke not only implemented the "ritual system" on a large scale, but also erased Yin Shang's regulations on human sacrifice. all traces.

The core idea of ​​Confucianism Confucius is "benevolence", and he admired the Duke of Zhou for this reason! "

Ying Zheng sighed, and said, "It turns out that the Yin and Shang dynasties were so brutal. If there were no Shangqing, I'm afraid the widow would not know this history..."

As he spoke, Ying Zheng was stunned, and asked, "But what does this have to do with "Canglong Qisu"?"

"It's coming next."

Gao Jing let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Yin Shang pays the most attention to sacrifices. If you want to erase human sacrifices, you must erase all information about sacrifices from Yin Shang, including the letter of course!

The "Book of Changes", the first of all classics, is one of them.

Fuxi made gossip to explain the ultimate principle of heaven and earth, which led to many explanations such as "Book of Changes", "Lianshan", "Gui Zang" and so on. For this reason, Zhou Gong entrusted King Wen of Zhou, who is very proficient in "Book of Changes", to interpret "Book of Changes" The deletion was made, so that we have the "Book of Changes" today.

That is "Book of Changes"!

The current "Book of Changes" was actually edited by King Wen of Zhou. There are only "heaven" and "earth", but only "human" is missing! "

Ying Zheng thought about it: "So Shangqing means that the "Canglong Qisu" is actually related to the real "person" in "Book of Changes"?"

Gao Jing nodded, and said: "The rest is just my guess. In ancient times, people's life expectancy was extremely high. "The spring and autumn are all over a hundred years old, and the movements are not bad", which may be related to the "person" in the "Book of Changes" , and "Canglong Qisu" probably hides the "person" in "Book of Changes."

Yingzheng was startled, and blurted out, "The "Canglong Qisu" has something to do with longevity?"

Gao Jing sneered and said: "There is no such thing as longevity! Has Your Majesty ever seen an ancient person who has lived to this day? Rather than talking about "longevity", it is better to say "health preservation". It is probably a method that can be practiced!

Nowadays, all schools of thought have learned their own ideas from the current "Book of Changes", and it doesn't matter what the original "Book of Changes" is.

Only this generation of Eastern Emperor Taiyi is still tirelessly searching. "

There was disdain in the tone.

Chapter 140

No matter what the original "Book of Changes" was, people of later generations have already had their own ideas based on their understanding of "Book of Changes".

And these comprehended concepts are the interpretations of "human beings" by various schools of thought.

All schools of thought have already completed "Heaven", "Earth" and "Human" on their own, so are the people in the original "Book of Changes" still so important?

If you can't even stick to your own ideas, what can you do if you chase after the "people" in the original "Book of Changes"?

With Donghuang Taiyi's state of mind, it is impossible not to understand this truth.

So Gao Jing has always been puzzled, what on earth is the Yin Yang family going to do, just to live a few more years?

After hearing Gao Jing's conjecture, Ying Zheng was silent for a long time before asking, "Is there any evidence for Shangqing's conjecture?"

Gao Jingdao: "Among the snare killers, the former Tianzihao killer Jingxi received a mission to chase and kill a person, but failed."

Yingzheng asked curiously: "With the style of Luowang, we will definitely continue to send killers to chase after him. Did that person~ escape?"

"No, that person is dead."

Gao Jingdao: "He chose to commit suicide and ended the endless pursuit with his own life. At the same time, he awakened the startled salamander so that the startled salamander escaped from the trap and lived for himself. Later, I met-her."

Ying Zheng didn't pay attention to the startled salamander, but asked curiously, "Who is that person?"

"nameless."

Gao Jingdao: "Canglong Qisu, seven copper boxes, one of which is in his hand, but it was opened, his strength is very strong, Tianzihao killer can't even do a single move in his hands, so I guess he is probably I have comprehended part of the "people", which is one of the reasons for my guess."

Ying Zheng said: "One of the reasons? Does it mean there are other reasons?"

Gao Jingjing nodded and said, "Duke Zheng Zhuang rose suddenly and became the first overlord. According to legend, he got the help of "Canglong Qisu". But from today's point of view, what does Your Majesty think of the strength of Zheng Guo at that time?"

Ying Zheng smiled proudly and said, "It's not worth mentioning!"

Gao Jingdao: "The Zheng State has long since ceased to exist, so it can be seen that the "Canglong Qisu" cannot make the country last long, and the improvement of national power is not worth mentioning. .

However, in the era of Zheng Zhuanggong of Zheng State, it happened to be the origin of Legalism. Han Fei had a sword called "Ni Lin", which was a legalist sword. This sword was different from any famous sword. The "Ni Lin" sword contained spirits. , can protect itself.

Seven copper boxes, seven kinds of power, I guess the copper box Zheng Zhuanggong opened may have something to do with the "Dharma" and gave birth to the Reverse Scale Sword Spirit.

Coupled with the fact that Wuming conducts himself in the world, it has the charm of Taoist "sage Wuming". Duke Zhou was able to maintain "benevolence" in the Yin and Shang environment where all people participated in "human sacrifices", so I made this speculation.

The seven copper boxes may be the interpretation of the seven concepts of "human" in the "Book of Changes".

But now all schools of thought have their own ideas to explain "people". How does Han Fei's law compare with Zheng Guozichan's? "

Ying Zheng thought about it: "Nature is far superior!"

Gao Jing smiled and said: "So instead of pursuing the uncertain "Canglong Qisu", the king should make good use of the current schools of thought."

Ying Zheng breathed out slowly, and said: "There are reasons and evidences, I am convinced, thank you, Shangqing, for clarifying the confusion."

Gao Jing saluted and said: "This is the blessing of Qin!"

Ying Zheng laughed loudly and said, "Shangqing's erudition, I have seen it."

Then he changed the subject and asked, "If the widow wants to destroy the six kingdoms, what does Shangqing think should be done?"

Gao Jingdao: "What your majesty is worried about is nothing more than the fear that the six kingdoms will unite against Qin?"

Ying Zheng said frankly: "With Shangqing in South Korea, South Korea is nothing to worry about, but the other five countries join hands, especially the two countries of Zhao and Chu. I, Qin, are not yet opponents."

Gao Jing thought for a while and said, "Does Your Majesty know the role of chariots on the battlefield?"

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Chariots are used to charge and cut the enemy's formation."

Gao Jing looked around, his gaze fell on the map of the Seven Kingdoms hanging in the hall, he got up and walked over and said, "If Your Majesty wants to prevent the six kingdoms from joining together, it will be like a battlefield, cutting the six kingdoms apart!"

Ying Zheng also walked over, looked at the huge map, and thought, "What does Shangqing mean?"

"Look, Your Majesty!"

Gao Jing raised his hand and drew a line on the map, saying: "We only need to take South Korea, and then take down the places like Wei...Qi didn't dare to participate in the war of Qin, but it was between Yan and Chu. It's a natural cut, and in this way, Yanzhao and Chu will be completely separated."

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·???????????????

Ying Zheng thought about it and said, "Shangqing means to destroy Han first, then Wei, and then Zhao Chu?"

Gao Jing shook his head and said: "Destroy Han, but we are not in a hurry to destroy Wei. We only take the land of Wei to split other countries, and leave the area near the beam of Wei State. Your Majesty can attack Zhao and destroy Zhao!"

Yingzheng asked puzzledly, "Why did you leave the area around Wei's Liang?"

Gao Jing smiled and said, "Your Majesty destroys Han to frighten Wei State, and asks Wei State for the land on this dividing line. How dare Wei State refuse to obey?"

Ying Zheng said, "Of course I don't dare."

Gao Jing continued: "At that time, the only remaining territory of Wei State will be under siege by South Korea and Qin State. Even if Yan Chu wants to join forces, King Wei will not dare to agree, because regardless of the success or failure of the alliance, Wei State will surely perish!

...... 0

However, the two countries of Yan and Chu do not border each other, and the three countries of Qi, Wei and Zhao are separated in the middle. Qi does not dare to move, and the king destroys Zhao. Around the girders, Yan Chu's joint buffer can be provided.
