Please ask me to be the emperor

"Here's nonsense, heresy!" Zhang Shun's words only made Gao Yi glare at him with such ambition that even the Confucian crown on his head was almost pushed up by his hair.

Zhang Shun's approach is actually similar to the approach of downplaying the influence of religion during the Three Ancient Dynasties, Zhou Dynasty and Shang Dynasty.

It is nothing more than the first step to philosophize the Supreme God and reduce the influence of God on humans. The second step is that the emperor has two identities: one is the king, who rules the world; the other is the emperor, who communicates with the gods. In this way, while the king of Zhou completed the secularization of his political power, he also took control of the religious power in the world.

So much so that later emperors also inherited this identity of human king and pope. Therefore, throughout the dynasties, emperors had the right to ennoble Zen and enfeoff gods.

For example, after Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty took over the world, he "examined various canons, and the titles of the Five Mountains, the Five Towns, the Four Seas, and the Four Dus began in the Tang Dynasty, and they revered their names and titles, and they have been added in the past dynasties."

Then "it was customized based on ancient times. All the names of mountains, towns, seas and rivers were removed from the names given by previous generations, and only the names of mountains and rivers were used as their gods."

All gods enshrined by the emperor are official sacrifices, otherwise they are obscene sacrifices. Otherwise, once the mountains are cut down and temples destroyed, these "obscene sacrifices" will be directly destroyed by the officials.

From this, it can be seen that what the ancient emperors said, "Everything in the world is the land of the king, and on the shore of the land, is it the ministers of the king" is not an empty talk. Theoretically speaking, all the gods in the world are also within its jurisdiction.

Zhang Shun took advantage of this "dead for three days and then resurrected" accident, simply pretending to be a ghost, and first seized the emperor's divine power, the "Emperor".

Governor Zhang, who was deeply influenced by Confucianism, was still a little grudge because of Zhang Shun's pretentiousness this time. However, he was quite relieved to see Zhang Shun's handling of the situation, which was quite like an ancient emperor.

Gao Yizhi was unconvinced and wanted to argue. How could Zhang Shun have time to think about him? He threw the brush in his hand, rubbed his sore fingers, and pointed at his throat.

It means "It's difficult to speak today, so I'll take a rest. If I'm free tomorrow, I'll argue again!"

Gao Yizhi punched the air and was almost hit by Zhang Shun. He originally had a lot of theological theories to talk about, but Zhang Shun suddenly blocked them all. It was so uncomfortable to hold it in for a long time before he left in anger after Han Lin's persuasion.

Zhang Shun then wiped away his sweat, rubbed his fingers, and signaled Liu Rushi to put away the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Zhang Shun has been unwell these days. In addition to several girls taking turns taking care of him, Li Xiang is also often with him to avoid any accidents and facilitate timely handling.

Seeing that Zhang Shun was tired, she quickly stepped forward to massage him. Although there are no rules, in the end, beauty is the key to success, and the heart is more satisfying.

After pressing the button for a long time, Li Xiang couldn't help but console him: "I have a rich body and am regarded as the 'Emperor'. Now I am feeling unwell. Why should I be angry with a European like him?"

"I am not angry with him, but he is angry with me!" Zhang Shun shook his head and wrote with a smile, "They are all pretending to be gods and ghosts all day long, fooling the people, but I, the 'real emperor', is not known to anyone. Is this really unreasonable?”

He thought to himself: I am a time traveler with memories of my previous life. Not only am I unique in this life, I should be unique in this life. How can I be called the "Son of Heaven"?

Li Xiang, Liu Rushi and others have followed him for a long time and have some understanding of his "miraculous" qualities. How can they not believe his words?

There was nothing to say for a while. After Zhang Shun took a short rest, he ordered Liu Rushi to continue grinding ink for him and prepare to write something.

Although Liu Rushi was quite good at writing, she was still a weakling. She was very tired for a while, and couldn't help complaining: "It's getting late, why don't you want to rest, but write these useless things?"

Li Xiang had a softer temper. Seeing that Liu Rushi was also very tired, she reached out to Liu Rushi for the ink ingot.

Liu Rushi couldn't help but smile gratefully, saying, "My madam, now that you are pregnant, I dare not bother you! You are exhausted physically and mentally from taking care of me today, so please don't harm me!"

Seeing that they seemed dissatisfied, Zhang Shun couldn't help but write a sentence and handed them some things he had just written: "Don't say it's hard work, what I wrote is good stuff!"

Li Xiang and Liu Rushi were also very curious. After hearing this, they stretched their heads and took a look, only to see something densely written on the paper: "What is heaven, why, where does it come from, where does it go; and how should it be called?" What are the records in history, and what are the fallacies? What is the relationship, similarities and differences with other religions such as Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Christianity? What impact does it have on other people, and what is its relationship with the emperor?"

Below it is densely written Zhang Shun's answer: "Heaven is an objective law, selfless and ruthless, and does not change according to human will or ideas. The way of heaven is natural, creating something out of nothing, and transforming everything in the world. Therefore it is called 'Tao generates one, one creates two, two generates three'. Note: In fact, it is the Big Bang of the universe. Question: What is the face of heaven? Answer: It has no face, heaven is not a human being, how can it be seen with a human body."

Zhang Shun has actually written more than ten pieces, probably no less than tens of thousands of words. Li Xiang and Liu Rushi looked at each other in shock, and couldn't help asking: "Master, what is this?"

"Settings, or you can call it an outline!" Zhang Shun smiled and took out a piece of white paper and wrote casually, "How come I refused to argue with Gao Yizhi during the day? It's just that I haven't thought everything through in my heart."

"This thing is actually similar to writing a fantasy novel. You first determine the world, then set the character cards and ability levels, as well as the major forces, and then draw the main line of the story. By the way, you also need to draw a world map and clarify the relationships between the characters. With the relationship between them, the story’s logic is almost smooth and there are almost no flaws.”

Li Xiang and Liu Rushi saw each other for a long time before they realized what they were doing. They asked with some disbelief: "Is everything the master said to Gao Yizhi today false?"

"That's right!" Zhang Shun wrote matter-of-factly, "What do you think? Isn't religion just for fooling people?"

"Their level is too low, and there are too many flaws in their compilation. They have to constantly patch it up to separate heretics and heretics. It's different for me. If the top-level design is done well, there shouldn't be any big flaws. It belongs to a relatively advanced and perfect religion!”

Li Xiang and Liu Rushi looked at each other, and they didn't know where to start. We sisters have been working hard for a long time. Why don't you just write a story for us?

Thinking of this, Li Xiang and Liu Rushi couldn't help feeling ashamed. A few days ago, Gao Yizhi had promoted Lao Shizi's "Tianjiao" to them.

In the end, because this "heavenly religion" only allowed wives and not concubines, they were temporarily rejected. In fact, these two people have ordinary thoughts, and I won’t believe it until I become the first wife!

The two of them never expected that this "heavenly religion" turned out to be such a thing, and they were almost fooled by others.
