In summer, the wind is blowing, sitting by the lake, full of frogs and cicadas, and the sun gradually sets to the west.

Prophet Zhao's apocalypse continues.

"In the final analysis, Tiandaoism is still a secular religion. Exploring the way of heaven, respecting gods, and offering sacrifices to ancestral spirits are its three main principles. Facing the lower-level Chinese and Li Shu, the key point of mission is to publicize that the Hebo and mountain ghosts they worship are actually A form of the Tao of Heaven; for literate scholars, the Tao of Heaven itself must be preached."

Nanzi asked inexplicably, "Why should we treat them differently?"

"It's like Bian Que sees a doctor, but different prescriptions are prescribed for the same symptoms. Ten thousand people are ignorant, too profound philosophies will only make them drowsy, they like simple and clear ghosts and idols. The spread must be like a blast of fire, because after believing in, there is no need to change the original worship, and they can also participate in some ceremonies that enhance their sense of belonging, and the messy temples of ghosts and gods will be included in Tiandaoism."

There is one thing that Zhao Wuxi didn't say directly. The purpose of incorporating ghosts and gods in various countries is not to carry forward, but to gradually reduce their influence, and strive to end up with only the order of heaven, and only natural rules!

"But the upper class scholars are not so easy to be deceived. For example, the great Sima Ziniu of the Song Dynasty, although he respects the way of heaven, he will definitely reject other ghosts and gods with a sullen face."

This is what Zhao Wuxi did on purpose. The "Tao of Heaven" did not create a personal, insurmountable God, but created a mass of nihilistic essence, which is awe-inspiring and will not stifle human curiosity.

Just the "Tianwen", which is the teaching of the founding religion, can make people fall into the trap of learning from things. Wu Zhu people study and study, maybe they will come up with astrophysics.

There is also the saying that "Tao gives birth to all things, all things have spirits, but the heaven and the earth are not benevolent, and all things are regarded as dogs." If Zhao Wuxi had a heart to guide him, maybe in his lifetime, he would still hear that "everyone is equal under the Tao of heaven" or even "All things are equal under heaven"!

So after burying so many traps. He is not worried that the spread of Tiandaoism among the people will stifle the contention of a hundred schools of thought.

This teaching is built on the basis of Taoist philosophy, and it can be self-consistent with Lao Zhuang's thoughts.

Not to mention the Mo family. The Mohists, which originated from the artisans in the Song Dynasty, advocated clear ghosts. Mozi believed that the reason for the chaos in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period was because everyone had doubts about ghosts and gods, and did not believe that ghosts and gods could reward the virtuous and punish the violent. If people all over the world believe that ghosts and gods can reward the virtuous and punish the violent, there will be awe in doing things, and there will be a bottom line. Then how can the world be in chaos?

Zhao Wuxi just abstracted this idea. If another thirty or forty years passed, there would be another Tiandao believer named Mo Di in the Song Kingdom, he would not be surprised at all.

As for Confucianism, Confucianism, which respects ghosts and gods at a distance, is only spread among the scholar-bureaucrats who account for one percent of the total population. Even in the Song and Ming Dynasties, the imperial court was still ****, the emperor worshipped heaven and earth, and promoted the mandate of heaven. What should the people at the bottom still do, they worship the earth god, Buddha, Taishang Laojun, Guan Erye, and Confucius and Mencius. Even Christ Jesus, as long as it is useful in real life, they will readily accept...

What's more, in Zhao Wuxi's plan, the main dissemination areas of Tiandaoism are Qi, Wu, Chu and other Qin and Han dynasties where the centrifugal force is the strongest, and the Wufeng Temple has continued to more than a thousand years later. The national conditions of countries such as Jin and Lu are different. In these countries where the popularity of scholars is gradually rising, it is necessary to firmly suppress the idols of ghosts and gods and advocate the exploration of the essence of "the way of heaven".

"If you don't take a few steps, you won't be able to travel a thousand miles. First of all, you must build temples in the main cities of the Song Dynasty. Set up Taiji altars to let the people who believe in the temples follow. When cultivating witches, in addition to understanding the basic teachings, you must also learn certain Knowledge of crops and medicine. At the same time, it is necessary to take medicine for illness and prevent plagues as a kind of order of heaven. Things such as burning grass roots and praying for recovery are not allowed to be publicized. Let them spread the word of heaven from village to village. Order, by the way, help Song Guozhengqing to count the number of households in the lower area..."

Nanzi hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Nanzi knows it."

Zhao Wuxi nodded, thinking that he couldn't stop thinking about it. Except for the medical Bianque family. In this era, doctors and witches have not yet been separated, and the new generation of Wu Zhu in the Song Dynasty may become a group of barefoot doctors who go to the mountains and the countryside, and they are also household statisticians.

The administrative power of the Song state cannot be compared with that of Zhao Wuxi, and the county system and the Shiwu system cannot be grafted over for the time being. Coupled with the lack of ability of the eldest brother, Nanzi can only help in the control of the grassroots. In short, we must let the Song country become the strongest shield and granary behind the East and West Zhao in the future war!

"What about Sishang? Can Nanzi build a temple of Tiandaoism in Teng, Xue and Xiaozhu?" Nanzi has heard so much today and can't wait to implement it.

"This...it won't be too late to talk about it after you lay down the foundation of Song."

Now there are only Ju and Zhu in the Nine Kingdoms of Si Shang, but Zhao Wuxi is sure that if Zigong comes forward, the Zhu Kingdom that is close at hand must be in his pocket!

Nanzi agreed with a bit of enthusiasm. It was already evening, and the twilight came very quickly in the bamboo forest several meters high, so Zhao Wuxi reached out and pulled her up, carefully brushing the bamboo leaves that stained her clothes for her.

"I've said almost everything in theory. You have to follow it when you go back. As for the sacrifice ceremony, you can change it yourself. Go, it's getting dark, and if you don't go back, I'm afraid you and I will be suspicious."

…

After leaving the lake, Zhao Wuxi deliberately made a big circle and beat a few deer before ending the "inspection". When he returned to the camp where the allied forces of Lu, Song, Teng and Xue were stationed, the sky was already dark. The dark, red sun shone brightly across the sky.

Sima Ziniu and Le's clan chief Chen Yin sit in Shangqiu to preside over state affairs. The leader of the army is Le Mix. This rough-hearted Song Guozheng, regardless of his identity, ran out to meet Wu Xie, and the two returned to the big tent. On the way, he also met Da Wu Nanzi who had already returned.

Nanzi had loose black hair, a veil, and a flowing wizard robe. After seeing Zhao Wuxi, she and the witches stopped to pay their respects without looking away, looking holy and ruthless.

"Great witch." Zhao Wuxi and Le Mixed also greeted her solemnly, but what Wu Xie thought was that Nanzi was still wearing the blasphemous clothes in the morning in his holy witch robe?

The sky was completely dark, and a few fireflies were already flying around them...

When they passed by by mistake, the two looked at each other and quickly turned away. But what it means, they have already understood in their hearts.

Only the ignorant and ignorant Le Mi was still pulling Zhao Wuxie, and kept asking Zigong whether the envoy Zhu State could have a miraculous effect, and could he really defeat the enemy without fighting?

…

"Envoy. Can you explain to the widow that Zhengqing of the State of Lu led the army to station at the border of Biyi? What is the intention of you! Are you here to threaten the state of Zhu to surrender, or do you want to invite the widow to go hunting with you?"

Cao Yi, the eighteenth monarch of Zhu State, was young, and he wore a high crown. Sitting on the monarch's couch with a sullen face, he stared at Duanmuci, the envoy of the state of Lu in the center of the hall. A group of tall tigers from the state of Zhu held a bronze tomahawk with a dragon's head. As long as the monarch gave an order, they would pull the envoy of the enemy state down. beheaded.

Pedestrians and messengers are inherently high-risk occupations, and they will lose their lives if they are not careful, not to mention that the casualty rate of the messengers of General Zhao has always been high.

Zigong wore a plain clothes and a white crown, without a soldier of size, but he had the confidence to make himself unscathed. Just relying on a tongue like a spring is enough.

However, this Zhuzi Cao Yi was not afraid of tigers when he was born with a calf. A few years ago, when he was doing the crown ceremony, he sent someone to ask Confucius about the etiquette.

Seeing Cao Yi's anger and dissatisfaction, Zigong raised his robe and said loudly, "Don't lie to Zhuzi, the foreign ministers are here to save the country of Zhu!"

Hearing his alarmist words, the officials of Zhu State in the hall all changed color.

Cao Yi laughed: "Save the state of Zhu? Why do you need to save it? Although the territory of the state of Zhu was increasingly suppressed by the state of Lu, it was still in danger. It was even held by Duke Xi of Lu and was suspended outside the fish gate! Now Lu Guo Zhengqing's Zhao clan can dispatch only ten thousand troops, far less than Lu Xi's time, Zhu country is not comparable to a small Zhuanyi. Maybe Zhao Qing has not yet conquered the border towns, Qi and Wu's divisions have already been raised! "

Zigong knew that Cao Yi relied on being the nephew of the Marquis of Qi, so he had some confidence, otherwise he would not have repeatedly refused to submit to Lu. He shook his head and smiled lightly: "It seems that the state of Zhu is about to perish, but Zhu Zi still thinks it is safe. It's a pity. It's a pity, can the ghosts of Yan An, Cao Xia, Zhu Yifu, and Duke Weng still eat blood? "

Cao Yi was instantly furious: "You, do you dare to say that I am the king of a subjugated country?"

"Of course, would Zhu Zi be willing to listen to my analysis of the situation in which the country of Zhu is in danger?"

Cao Yi slapped the table and said, "Tell me, say it! If you say things that don't satisfy the widow, I'll cut off your tongue, chop off your feet, and let you crawl back to deliver the letter to Zhao Wuxi!"

Zigong was not afraid, and said in a clear voice: "Zhu, a small country, the area is not more than a hundred miles, although it is claimed to have six hundred passengers, but the soldiers are no more than ten thousand. The surrounding terrain is flat, and the communication with the lords of Sishang is convenient, like the spokes of a wheel gathered together. It is generally on the axle, and there is no obstruction by the mountains and deep rivers.”

"The terrain of the State of Zhu was originally a suitable place for battle, not to mention that it was surrounded by princes. From the State of Lu to the State of Zhu, it was only sixty or seventy miles away, and chickens and dogs heard each other; from the State of Song to the State of Zhu, there were only a hundred or so. Here, people galloping horses and running, not waiting to get tired. The south is adjacent to Teng Xue, the east is adjacent to Xiaozhu, and the soldiers are guarded in all directions, but there is no friendly country."

"The general of Lu State signed a covenant with the feudal lords of Sishang, in order to respect the king and repelled the barbarians, to make the feudal lords stable, the monarch to be honorable, and to have a prominent reputation. Now Lu, Song, Teng, and Xue will hunt in Langbi, slaughter white horses, and kill blood. To be an alliance, to become brothers. However, the state of Zhu was clearly in the vicinity, but did not send an envoy, did not ask a word, all the lords in Si Shang were close to Lu, but only the state of Zhu wanted to hate them alone. This is the way to die. !"

Cao Yi said sternly: "So what? Zhu Guo has not survived for hundreds of years!"

Zigong said: "At this moment, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is also at the same time! Zhu Zi thought he was the nephew of the Duke of Qi, and thought that being close to Qi and Wu would ensure that the society would be safe? Thousands of miles away, far water cannot save near fire."

"If Zhuzi does not obey the orders of the state of Lu, and Lu will send troops to attack the capital of the state of Zhu, and then send people to strictly guard Yangguan and Father Liang on the front line of Mount Tai, then the state of Qi will not be able to go south to support the state of Zhu, and the capital will be besieged if the aid from Qi cannot reach. , then the state of Zhu is in danger! The state of Zhu has moved the capital three times, where can it be moved now?”

"Furthermore, if the State of Lu invites the State of Song to attack together, Song, Lu, and brothers, the ruler of the State of Song will gladly promise to arrange garrison troops in Pengcheng and Huaisi first, and the Wu people see that Song is prepared, and focus on attacking Vietnam. Then, Song will send troops to advance from the south to divide the cities and towns of the state of Zhu, and the three states of Teng, Xue, and Xiaozhu will be in chaos again, and the period of the collapse of the state of Zhu will not be far away.”

Zigong's eloquence is so eloquent that a set of debaters' speeches flooded the sky, and Zhuzi Cao Yi couldn't bear it, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The National Society Ji was on the verge of collapse, and its demise seemed to be a sure-fire ending, and could not help but blurt out:

"How about that!?" (To be continued.)
