Chapter 306 The Origin of the Emperor System

Yan Nu was shocked: "The realm of cultivating immortals was all created by Xuan Zun?"

Zhang Pijiang said: "It's not all his creation, but it's mainly him."

"In ancient times, 'immortals' were transformed into totems. They just had some extra magical powers and strange features on their bodies. They might have human heads and bird bodies, or they might be covered with hair and feathers. They were as alienated as the people of the mountains and seas."

"After the Yellow Emperor, there were human emperors who regulated it. For example, Shaohao, whose bird officer was the human emperor, specifically designated an image with a human head and a bird's body as the image of immortality. It was no longer a random alienation based on the totem of the ethnic group to which he belonged."

"At this point, the first 'Immortal Realm' was born. Because it could grow wings and travel across the universe, it was immortal, so it was named 'Eclosion'."

Yan Nu suddenly realized that the emergence stage is the first realm of immortals. It turns out that this is the case.

There are four stages in ascending to the Immortal Realm, namely the Emergence Stage, the Human Immortal Stage, the Earth Immortal Stage, and the Heavenly Immortal Stage.

The three immortals of heaven, earth and man are all very powerful, with complex settings and great reputations, but the emergence stage is unknown.

Although there is a reason why the Ascension Stage was covered by strange objects and turned into the Divine Consciousness Stage, this happened in the past few decades. Before that, the cultivation world still did not pay much attention to this realm.

Heaven, earth, and people each have their sustenance, and they place their sustenance respectively on the way of heaven, the earth, and the human race. However, the emergence stage has no function. It is said to be an immortal, but it is not much more powerful than the renewal stage. It seems to be just a transitional state.

It turns out that the emergence stage is the realm of ancient immortals. No wonder it has no special functions.

Yan Nu said: "So the revolution is to patch the destiny system and strengthen the control of heaven?"

Zhang Bijiang hesitated and said: "You can't say that..."

"Revolutionary revolution means to abolish the destiny of heaven..."

"Concerning the destiny of heaven, Yan and Huang each followed their own way. The way of Emperor Yan was called Xingtian, and the way of Emperor Huang was called revolution."

"The road to Xingtian is long, but civilization will always continue, so Huangdi is down-to-earth, step by step, using the human-emperor system to change the destiny of heaven, and lead with the human heart, so that the destiny of destiny will be as desired."

"Constrained like this from generation to generation, until the right magical object is born, let the way of heaven guide Xingtian, and finally get rid of himself. This is the revolutionary outline formulated by Huangdi."

"It can be said that revolution is more important than the process. Xing Tian is the result. Emperor Yan only knows the results. Huang Emperor is the one who really came up with the plan and supplemented and improved Emperor Yan's ideas."

"Of course, that was the original meaning."

Yan Nu tilted his head and said: "It turned bad later? Luo Yan and the others all said that human power is limited but the way of heaven is infinite."

"Huang Di, Shaohao, and Zhuan Xu perfected it from generation to generation, but in the end it became like this."

Zhang Pijiang sighed: "Yes, time eventually changed everything."

"The Mandate of Heaven has gone through many innovations. From the beginning, the Bird Officials and Human Emperors, and the Jedi Tiantong simply curbed the way of heaven, and later became more and more selfish."

"When the Yin Dynasty revolutionized the Xia Dynasty, it was the Shang Dynasty who changed the Yan-Huang system that the Xia Dynasty had inherited from ancient times and started to worship the gods again."

"Under the order of Jedi Heavenly Power, although the gods cannot return to the world, they still have power over everything in the world, but they just no longer do things."

Yan Nu grinned and said, "Isn't it true that you are occupying the latrine and not taking a shit?"

Zhang Bijiang smiled, nodded and said: "Yes, Jedi Heavenly Power can expel the gods, but ultimately they cannot destroy the gods. From another perspective, the gods can openly stop performing their duties."

"But this was the best choice at the time of Zhuan Xu. Unfortunately, the existing system can only be patched, but cannot be completely erased."

"And the times are advancing, and the needs of civilization are changing..."

"The Xia people worshiped Dayu and believed that human power could move mountains, but they did not have Dayu's wisdom and perseverance."

"But the people of the Shang Dynasty innovated sacrifices, sacrificed people to gods, and were willing to communicate with the gods, so the gods helped the merchants defeat the Xia Dynasty."

"When merchants took over the world, they were still ruled by human emperors, but they began to rely on the power of gods."

"From then on, as long as people pray to the gods, the gods can control the world. At the same time, they can ignore it if they don't want to... Because of the setting of Jedi Heavenly Power, they can originally ignore it..."

Yan Nu once again felt what it means to have good governance in the past and bad governance today.

Jedi Heavenly Power is a good thing, but it cannot be solved once and for all, and businessmen are obsessed with worshiping gods to gain the power of gods and conquer the world, which is a bad start.

From now on, on the basis that people take care of people and God takes care of God...if people ask God for help, God can still take care of it.

But no matter what, how you control it depends on your mood, because after Jedi Tiantong, "people should rely on themselves."

When the two settings are combined, it becomes what it is today.

No wonder there are frequent disasters in the world, but there are no gods to take care of things. People continue to offer incense and sacrifices, but in the end they still don't care.

There are even situations where the Zhang family colludes with gods and in turn harms others.

These are all compromises made by businessmen to the gods in order to seize the world...

The road to abolishing the destiny has reached this point and has begun to change.

"How did that Son of Heaven system come about?" Yan Nu couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Bijiang sighed: "It originated from King Wu's attack on Zhou... caused by Zhou's revolution and Yin's fate."

"At that time, although King Wu of Zhou was successful in his business, he was uneasy and couldn't sleep."

"The Duke of Zhou asked him why he couldn't sleep. King Wu said... Wei Tian did not enjoy the Yin Dynasty. He was born sixty years ago. The elk were grazing and the wild animals were everywhere. The Heaven did not enjoy the Yin Dynasty, but today we have achieved success. Wei Tian built the Yin Dynasty. , it has been named among the three hundred and sixty people, and it has neither appeared nor been destroyed until now. I have not decided to protect it from heaven, so why do I have time to sleep!"

"Ding Tianbao, relying on the heavenly house, begging for evil from my husband, demoting me to the King of Yin. I have worked day and night to fix my western land, I will show my obedience, and my virtue will be bright."

Yan Nu was stunned: "What do you mean?"

He no longer had various sub-personalities that he had read, and he couldn't understand them anymore.

Zhang Bijiang smiled: "King Wu said that God would not enjoy the sacrifices of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. It has been sixty years since Ji Fa was born. There are hordes of monsters and pests in the countryside... This is because God did not bless the Yin and Shang Dynasties. We’ve had the success we have today.”

"Since the establishment of the Yin Dynasty, 360 famous people have been appointed. Although their political achievements cannot be said to be outstanding, they are not ruined, so that the Yin Dynasty can be maintained to this day. And I cannot make the national destiny bestowed by God on the Zhou Dynasty forever. If it doesn’t change, where can I take care of sleeping?”

"I want to ensure that the national destiny of the Zhou Dynasty will be preserved forever, and according to the will of God, I will find all the evildoers who do not know the destiny of heaven and punish them, just like I did to King Zhou. I will work diligently day and night to ensure the stability of our homeland and handle all affairs well. , until our merits shine everywhere."

Hearing this, Yan Nu's eyes widened.

"You have so much merit and rely on the way of heaven to keep your country's destiny forever. No wonder the destiny has become what it is today."

This period of history, Miao Han told him, was originally just an ordinary record, but Yan Nu combined with the bad influence of the Yin Revolution and Xia Ming, who did not know that this was what led to the establishment of the emperor system.

It turned out to be that simple. King Wu thought he could destroy the Shang Dynasty because fate did not bless the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and he hoped that the Zhou Dynasty would last long and not be destroyed like the Shang Dynasty.

"How come people who don't know their destiny become evil people? We still have to punish them? Where did King Wu come up with this idea?"

"He destroyed the Shang Dynasty. He has his own abilities. Why are he still worried and uneasy, saying that this is because God does not bless the Yin and Shang Dynasties?"

Yan Nu didn't understand, what did King Wu think? Be a son to God.

The efforts of the previous emperors were all in vain.

Zhang Pijiang told him: "King Wu was extremely frightened before he raised his army. Their weapons were extremely inferior, and they were an era behind the bronzes of the Yin and Shang Dynasties! In terms of population, they were at an absolute disadvantage. As a 'small state', how could we defeat it?" Dayi merchant'?"

"This gap was such that after King Wu raised troops in the west, King Zhou of Shang didn't even bother, and instead sent a large army to the east to conquer the Nine Barbarians."

"The fact is that King Wu's army marched all the way into Chaoge, which was devastating. In the battle of Makino, all the enemy troops turned against them."

Yan Nu was confused: "Why? Is it really destiny that destroyed the Yin and Shang Dynasties?"

"But at that time, there was no emperor system, and the Yin and Shang Dynasties had gods to help them..."

He remembered that it was said earlier that the Yin Shang Dynasty had been infested with wild beasts and vermin everywhere for sixty consecutive years. This was obviously a disaster caused by the gods.

Zhang Pijiang explained: "No, in fact King Wu won by strength and popular support."

"Although King Zhou is full of martial virtue, he can tear apart tigers and leopards, replace beams with pillars, and is extremely brave."

"But the Book of Records records that King Zhou had three major crimes. The first was listening to women."

"The second is disrespecting God and wasting sacrifices."

"The third is not trusting the noble brothers, but instead re-employing lowly people."

Yan Nu scratched his head: "I suspect you are talking about me..."

Zhang Pijiang was stunned and laughed.

Isn’t Yan Nu just a person who always listens to women’s words, disrespects God, and still uses his lowly status?

He is also extremely brave...

Zhang Pijiang said: "You... do look alike. However, King Zhou was cruel and killed many people. Many noble brothers were killed by him."

Yan Nu scratched his head again, he killed more people...

Zhang Pijiang saw this and said quickly: "In short, King Zhou has the intention to reform the old and create a new one, but what he wants to reform is his own life..."

"Without the use of nobles, the tradition of the Shang Dynasty was broken in the hands of King Zhou, who subsequently lost the support of all the nobles of the same clan."

"And because he was disrespectful to the gods, he lost the help of the gods. The country that was founded by the Yin Shang Dynasty was abandoned by him, and then he was abandoned by the gods and nobles."

"On the other hand, after King Wu of Zhou defeated the Shang Dynasty, he appeased the nobles of the Shang Dynasty with enfeoffments, stabilized his rule, and then completed the feat of using small things to achieve great things."

"All this is normal."

"But King Wu won so smoothly, and there was no precedent in the past, that he was so anxious that he was afraid that his virtue was not worthy of his position. He couldn't sleep all day long, worried that Xiao Bang Zhou would not be able to rule Dayi Shang."

Yan Nu was speechless. It was a good thing for King Wu to worry about De's mismatch, but he couldn't be too anxious.

"Is there any influence of heaven here?" Yan Nu asked.

Zhang Bijiang pondered and said: "It's hard to say, but there should be some. For example, Heaven once sent a dream to King Wu to reveal that he could destroy Shang."

"This should be because Heavenly Dao recognized King Wu's ability and character and encouraged him to destroy Shang."

"But after all, King Wu was a human emperor who relied on his own ability to win over countless princes and people. There was no emperor system at that time, and heaven could not do anything to him. In the final analysis, the only person who could really influence King Wu at that time was people."

"King Wu had conquered Yin. Two years later, he asked Jizi why Yin died. Jizi couldn't bear to talk about Yin's evil, so he wanted to complain if the country was to survive. King Wu was also ugly, so he asked about the way of heaven."

After hearing the end, Yan Nu was stunned: "What do you mean? Who is this Jizi?"

Zhang Bijiang explained: "Jizi was the uncle of King Zhou and a wise minister of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. When the Yin and Shang Dynasties were destroyed, he did not want to serve the Zhou Dynasty and went to North Korea."

"After King Wu conquered the Shang Dynasty, he worked conscientiously. He was worried that he would not be able to govern such a large country. He was worried about gains and losses for two years, so he went to ask Jizi why the Yin and Shang Dynasties died."

"This is actually because King Wu wanted to find recognition and to make sure that the great cause of cutting off merchants that the Zhou people had worked hard for through the generations was moral and in line with the people's hearts. It was caused by his own ability, the stupidity of King Zhou, and the corruption of Yin Shang. .”

"Ji Zi just had to tell the truth, but Ji Zi couldn't bear to speak ill of the Yin Shang Dynasty, so he changed the subject and told King Wu about the survival of the country. King Wu felt embarrassed, so he asked what was going on with the way of heaven."

Yan Nu was puzzled: "What's so embarrassing about this?"

Zhang Bijiang saw that Yan Nu hadn't understood yet, so he simply said: "King Wu won too much in a short period of time, and he lost too much. There was no precedent before, so he worried about gains and losses, and needed a sustenance and an explanation in his heart. In the end, he attributed everything to the way of heaven. .”

"Of course, even so, King Wu did not abandon the way of human emperor, but he was so anxious that he became seriously ill, and the world that had just been pacified still had many hidden dangers. Countless Zhou people were very afraid, fearing that King Wu's sudden death would lead to political instability. , are all praying devoutly for King Wu’s divination.”

"The Duke of Zhou even fasted, bathed, and prayed to heaven, saying that King Wu was able to defeat Shang because of heaven's revelation. The weak Zhou was like a child of heaven. How could heaven bear to bring disaster to a child? He was willing to use himself to suffer in King Wu's place... King Wu was cured of his illness."

"Since then, the Zhou Dynasty began to promote the Mandate of Heaven in order to stabilize the world."

"Since then, the emperor system was born. From now on, the human emperor has become the son of heaven. The change of dynasties and the rise and fall of civilization are all determined by heaven!"

Yan Nu punched the sacred iron with his fist, thinking that it was really disgusting.

What did Tiandao do? He didn't do anything. Under the Human Emperor system, the way of heaven was very restricted. It was nothing more than a dream.

King Wu's success was natural, but Tiandao saw all this and did the right thing at the right time. Such a small impact directly led to earth-shaking changes later.

"Strictly speaking, King Wu was always the human emperor. The emperor system was established by Duke Zhou. After King Wu died and became king at a young age, Duke Zhou took over as regent. He worked hard to come up with such a system to ensure the national destiny of the Zhou Dynasty through the destiny of heaven."

Yan Nu couldn't help but said: "The Human Emperor will also have selfish motives and make mistakes. The Yellow Emperor's vision is inherently unstable... Unless he can live forever, there will always be a generation that will allow Heaven to take advantage of the loopholes..."

Zhang Pijiang nodded and said, "Yes, but how do you know... that Huangdi is dead?"

Yan Nu didn't notice it and answered honestly: "Xue'er and the others all said that Huang Di was dead."

"..." Zhang Pijiang didn't expect him to be so honest and was stunned for a moment.

Then he said loudly: "The Yellow Emperor collected mountain copper and cast the tripod at the foot of Jingshan Mountain. When the tripod was completed, a dragon hung down from its beard to greet the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor rode up, and more than seventy people from the harem of ministers came up. The dragon went up. The rest The ministers were not allowed to go up, but they all held the dragon's beard. The dragon's beard was pulled out, fell, and fell into the Yellow Emperor's bow. The people looked up to the Yellow Emperor and ascended to heaven, so they hugged his bow and the beard. Therefore, later generations named the place Ding Lake, and the bow was called "Ding Lake". Black number."

"The Yellow Emperor ascended to heaven on a dragon. His ministers took his bow and buried him in Qiaoshan. They built a tomb called the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor... It has been three thousand years since then."

Yan Nu was shocked, Huang Di was not dead?

Ride a dragon and ascend to heaven? Is this becoming an immortal?
