Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Zeng Dian, Zeng Shen, Fan Chi and other ministers of the Confucian school, the theory of "the monarchy is bestowed by heaven" advocated by them made Qing Ji very moved.

However, celebrating the taboo must be considered out of your own actual needs.

The current Great Wu is in a situation of "a hundred schools of thought contending". There are various schools in various places, which provide the soil for Confucianism to flourish.

It's just that there are still a small number of readers after all, and more people have no books to read.

Even a powerful celestial kingdom like Great Wu is like this, let alone those overseas and extraterritorial vassal kingdoms?
Many of the people under the rule of the feudal kingdom are "barbarians" just now, not to mention not knowing a single word, and some are still living a primitive life of raw hair and blood.

How can Confucianists teach people like this?

I'm afraid there will be a saying "Dead wood can't be carved" later!
Qingji believes that whether it is Taoism or Confucianism, their theories have merits.

Seeing the officials arguing endlessly, Qingji made a decision.

"My intention is to integrate the theories of Confucianism and Taoism, and establish my state religion of Great Wu, called 'Tian Taoism'!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

All the officials and ministers shouted loudly.

It's just that how to integrate the theories of Confucianism and Taoism and take their essence as the teachings of "Tian Taoism" remains to be discussed.

"His Majesty!"

At this time, Shangshu Ling Wenzhong came out with a wat in his hand, and said to Qingji with a serious expression, "Taoism should be established to maintain the rule of Wu and the authority of His Majesty!"

"The teachings of Tiandaoism should promote the heavenly grant of monarchy."

"The emperor is ordered by the sky, and his life will last forever."

"Your Majesty is the eldest son of God. His power is granted by God, and he governs the world in accordance with the will of God, so he is called 'Son of Heaven'."

"Your Majesty has heard that all the religions of the foreign tribes have a leader. Your Majesty and my successor to Great Wu will all be the leader of the Tiandao Sect!"

"My minister agrees!"

Zeng Shen followed and said: "Your Majesty, the people descended from heaven to be kings and teachers, but they only say that they help God and favor them everywhere."

"I have heard that the heavens are rational; the gods are the ones who talk about the myriad things; the emperors are famous for ruling things."

"Tiandaoism should establish a doctrine that God has appointed kings and teachers for mankind, and let them educate and govern God's people, and they are God's representatives."

"The king is the emperor, and the teacher should be Confucius..."

Zeng Shen is worthy of being the disciple and grandson of Confucius, and he wholeheartedly wants to elevate Confucius' status.

Historically, since the Tang Dynasty, the status of Confucius has been continuously improved, and the titles of Confucius have also been continuously increased.

In the Qing Dynasty, the sacrifice of Confucius became a "big sacrifice" on the same level as God and the ancestor god of the country...

Proper "teacher of all ages"!
"No!"

Bo Pi, the official censor, immediately stood up and objected, staring at him and said, "The Son of Heaven is unique, how can God send another 'teacher' to assist?"

"Your Majesty, I believe that you, Your Majesty, are the 'Emperor of the First Emperor', who will carry on the past and usher in the future, and rule over everything in the world. Although the titles of Son of Heaven and Human Emperor are no longer able to set off your majesty's nobility, your majesty's prestige, and your majesty's achievements!"

"Your Majesty, where are you the 'Son of Heaven'? Your Majesty, you are the Emperor of Heaven! You are God!"

"Your Majesty, you are the incarnation of the Heavenly Emperor in the world!"

"hiss!"

As soon as Bo Pi's words came out, all the ministers and officials above the court couldn't help but gasped, and were shocked.

How dare Bo Pi to "spread nonsense" like this?
Are you not afraid of being retaliated by God?
For the subjects of Great Wu, Qing Ji is indeed a "heaven".

But, who dares to talk nonsense and call Qingji the "Emperor of Heaven"?
The honorary titles of Son of Heaven and Renhuang had indeed made Qing Ji unable to be satisfied.

He is not the son of God, he is the First Emperor of Wu, the incarnation of God!

For a moment, Qingji's mind became active, very hot.

"What do the second and third sons think of Bo Pi's words?"

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

Although Qingji would not be overjoyed, how could the ministers dare to raise objections based on what they knew about Qingji?
Qingji has long been "deified".

Bo Pi said again with emotion: "Your Majesty, the emperor is God, and there is a great honor in your presence. Monitor and observe the four directions, and ask the people for nothing."

"I think that my great Wu should integrate the myths from ancient times to the present to form a myth system, with His Majesty, that is, 'God' as the highest god, and let the world worship!"

"good."

Qing Ji nodded slightly, and immediately agreed.

This idea has long been in his mind.

"Zhenyi, based on the "Shan Hai Jing", combined with folk myths and legends, to create a unique mythology system of Tiandaoism. Its teachings integrate the theories of Confucianism and Taoism, specifically based on "Tao Te Ching" and "Analects of Confucius" , plus the classics of ancient sages."

After Qingji looked around for a week, he handed over this arduous task to Bo Pi, Zeng Shen, Zuo Qiuming, Lie Yukou, Yin Xi and others.

Qingji wants to create a relatively complete mythology system, and the "Shan Hai Jing" is the most important basic theory.

The myths preserved in "Shan Hai Jing" are quite old, but strictly speaking, there are more gods than myths.

The mythological colors of the Sea Classic and the Great Wilderness Classic are the strongest in the whole book, recording the strange appearance, habits and customs of some foreign people.

Such as the country of the chest, the country of feathers, the country of long arms, the country of immortality, the country of adults, and so on.

Among them, there are many myths with strange imaginations, such as Gun Yu's water control, Jingwei's reclamation, and Xingtian Wu's relatives, etc., which are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and spread far and wide.

Although the myths in "Shan Hai Jing" are also fragmented, many stories have clear outlines, and some of them can even be quite complete stories and images after splicing.

Such as Kuafu chasing the sun, the legend of Dayu, Dijun and Queen Mother of the West, and the magical scene of the holy Kunlun Mountain...

Generally speaking, this work is a treasure house of Chinese mythology, and it is of great significance to the dissemination and research of Wu mythology.

……

Half a month later, Zeng Shen, Zuo Qiuming, Lie Yukou and others came to report to Qingji with a lot of memorials after sorting out by the officials and a group of scholars.

What they have to do now is to build the framework of Tiandaoism and provide practical solutions.

"...I, Great Wu, is one of politics and religion. Your Majesty is the incarnation of Haotian God in the human world. God has existed for a long time since beginningless time, and the sage's name will also be boundless."

"There are sun, moon, stars, wind and rain all around, and thunder and lightning are the messengers, and the gods of the five directions are assisted."

"The upper palm has 36 heavens and 72 lands under its jurisdiction. It is in charge of everything about gods, immortals, demons, saints, human beings, and the underworld.

"In the future, only I, Emperor Wu, can be the leader of Tiandao Sect..."

"and many more."

Qingji interrupted Bo Pi and said, "I don't like the name Haotian God, so I changed it. Taiyi, Taiyi God."

"promise."

Bo Pi immediately agreed.
