Chapter 877 He wants to control the whole divine power and put the divine power under his feet!
The Great Qin court gave full support to Gongzi Gao. This was not as simple as Qin Wangzheng fully supporting Gongzi Gao. Anyone with a little discernment would know that Qin Wangzheng did this with the support of the whole country.
Many things in the past can be called a kind of trial. It can be considered that the King of Qin used Da Qin as a battlefield to train Fusu and others.
However, at this moment, Ying Zheng's order was issued in the form of a royal edict, which almost confirmed that in this battle, Gongzi Gao won with an absolute advantage.
The choice of the Crown Prince of Qin is not a random choice like choosing a glass of Qin wine or a glass of Zhao wine.
This involves the lifeline of the inheritance of the Qin State, so it naturally requires caution. Moreover, once a king like Ying Zheng announces it in such a decisive way, he must have already made a decision.
Wang Wan and Li Si can still see this, but this matter involves too many people and problems, so they can pretend to be confused if they can.
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Li Si and Wang Wan looked at each other, and then walked out of Xianyang Palace.
They all knew that this imperial edict from Qin Wangzheng would completely break the peaceful atmosphere of the Qin Dynasty for many years. It was obvious that they all knew why Ying Zheng did this.
The Qin Dynasty has not yet swept the world and united the world. At this moment, Ying Zheng no longer focuses on sending troops out of Hangu Pass and pointing his sword at the Six Kingdoms of Shandong. Instead, he has slowly shifted from territory to belief.
Looking at the world, no one even in the Zhou Dynasty for eight hundred years dared to get involved in faith. Only the Xia and Shang Dynasty in those days dared to get involved in divine power in the name of the Human Emperor.
Gathering the power to unify the territory of belief and thought, and then building a divine mansion. In that era, countless ancestors forged ahead, and the Human Emperor was the largest divine mansion in the world.
At this moment, Ying Zheng obviously had this plan, but both Li Si and Wang Wan knew that it would be difficult to gather faith, control the divine power, and completely suppress the divine power with royal power.
It is recorded in ancient books: In the beginning, human beings were ignorant, and their knowledge of themselves and the world was very limited. They attributed everything beyond their understanding to gods.
As the saying goes, the movement of the sun and the moon, the alternation of cold and heat, the withering and prosperity of vegetation, birth, old age, sickness and death, all are controlled by God.
In order to please the gods and obtain their protection, the ancestors elected representatives to communicate with ghosts and gods.
Thus, witchcraft was born.
A shaman knows the heaven and earth, knows ghosts and gods, and serves gods through dance!
In order to better communicate with gods and interpret oracles, shamans consciously mastered and developed knowledge, which led to the emergence of knowledge such as history, astronomy, medicine, song and dance, and arithmetic.
It can be seen that witches have been destined to be extraordinary since their birth. They have power, culture, act in the name of gods, and are the spokespersons of gods in the world.
According to Li Si and Wang Wan, as long as they slowly unfold the ancient scrolls and study the classics carefully, they will find that the shadow of monarchy always hangs over the witches.
The fierce conflict between monarchy and divine power lasted for nearly a thousand years, and was once so violent that the heavens and the earth collapsed, and dynasties came and went. It was not until the early Shang Dynasty that witches briefly suppressed the monarchy.
"According to rumors, Emperor Zhuanxu appointed Zhong as Nanzheng, responsible for communicating with the gods; he appointed Li as Huozheng, in charge of civil affairs, and prohibited any form of folk activities to communicate with the gods. This is the legendary Jedi Tiantong."
At this moment, a strange color flashed in Li Si's eyes, and he said quietly to Wang Wan: "This time the Jedi Heaven Power is obviously Zhuan Xu's weakening of the witchcraft power. Wu Daitian's actions seriously threatened Emperor Zhuanxu's authority.
.”
"This is the first confrontation between monarchy and witchcraft (divine power)!"
At this moment, standing outside Xianyang Palace, looking at the blue sky, Wang Wan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said.
"In the myths and legends of the Central Plains, there was a time when Gonggong fought with Zhuanxu to be the emperor. In anger, he touched the mountains of Buzhou. The pillars of heaven were broken, and the earth was still intact. The sky tilted to the northwest, so the sun, moon and stars moved away; the earth was not satisfied with the southeast, so the water
The dust will return to you."
"The severity of the tragedy can be seen from this!"
Li Si and Wang Wan were both talented people. Naturally, they had read thousands of books, and they clearly knew that this Jedi Heavenly Power was the beginning of the era of the unity of gods and kings. From then on, witches and kings, divine power and monarchy became one.
Those full-time wizards gradually broke away from the tribe, stayed in the royal court, and were closely integrated with the monarchy, forming a unique class of great wizards. The all-powerful wizards in the primitive era gradually came to an end.
But this situation changed with the establishment of the Xia Dynasty.
On the one hand, the leader of the alliance became the emperor of the family and the world. The solidification of monarchy made the shamanistic character of King Xia inevitably fade and become more and more secular.
Although King Xia was still nominally the leader of the witches, he no longer frequently participated in divination.
In this way, the oracle was basically controlled solely by the great shaman class, which would inevitably lead to a conflict between divine power and monarchy. No secular emperor could tolerate an overriding divine power.
There are clear records from the beginning of the Xia Dynasty. From the beginning of Kong Jia, there was a tendency to disrespect heaven and abandon divine authority.
Under the deliberate attack and exclusion of the Xia king and the bureaucracy, Youxia's divine power was completely suppressed by the monarchy, and the people's attitude towards witches also changed subtly.
With the strong rise of the Eastern Shang clan, the second conflict between witchcraft and monarchy broke out. This was the famous Tang Revolution and Xia Ming.
This revolution was essentially a war to safeguard divine rights led by the almighty witches headed by Cheng Tang and Yi Yin.
With the victory of the great merchants, the theocracy, which had been in decline, rose again, and the great witches returned to the peak of power.
Although the divine power lasted for hundreds of years due to the establishment of Shang, with the consolidation of the Shang king's position and the rationalization of the bureaucracy, monarchy and divine power once again conflicted like fate.
King Zujia of the Shang Dynasty began to impose various restrictions on witchcraft; King Wuyi of the Shang Dynasty insulted the gods in every possible way and made fun of shooting at the sky. Finally, he was struck by lightning and died.
This shows how far the conflict between the witches and kings had intensified in the late Yin and Shang Dynasties. The Shang kings, Emperor Yi and Emperor Xin, like Xia Jie, waved their butcher's knives at Dongyi, who had a strong witchcraft style.
With a flash of light in his eyes, Li Si turned to Wang Wan and said quietly, "Although the word witch has basically disappeared, 'they' have not disappeared."
"And after the Zhou Dynasty reduced the Nine-Nine Human Emperor to become the Nine-Five Emperor, the divine power became completely superior. However, Duke Zhou created rituals and music, and although the divine power was nominally higher than the monarch's power."
"Unless it is under specific circumstances, the influence of divine power on monarchy will gradually weaken."
"Originally, this is a kind of victory, but our king has a big appetite. He doesn't want to take it one step at a time, but wants to reach the sky step by step. He wants to control the entire divine power and put the divine power under his feet."
