Not long after Dai Zhou came out, Li Shimin came to see him again.
At this time, he was very angry. If he became an official, would he not have any time left? Are you going to sell yourself to him?
This situation is probably worse than being a slave.
Even if I feel unhappy, what can I do?
In the end, he still had to go find Li Shimin.
When he arrived at Daming Palace, it was already evening.
Dai Zhou's stomach was empty, but Li Shimin was in a hurry, so how could he dare to eat?
We can only come to him hungry.
When he arrived, he saw Li Shimin holding a book in his hand and mumbling something.
At this time, Dai Zhou realized that something was wrong.
However, I had to step forward to say hello.
"Your Majesty, what do you want me to do with you?"
He asked directly.
Li Shimin then raised his head.
And Dai Zhou also saw the book in Li Shimin's hand.
The title of the book is "Spring and Autumn Fan Lu".
This book is a political philosophy work written by the Han Dynasty philosopher Dong Zhongshu. It advocated Gongyang Studies, carried out the purpose of "unification of the Spring and Autumn Period", expounded the philosophical-theological theory centered on Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the interaction between heaven and man, and promoted the theory of human nature of "three qualities of nature" and "the three principles of the king's way can be sought from heaven." His ethical thoughts and the historical view of the cycle of red and black unifications laid the theoretical foundation for the centralized feudal governance system of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, he was highly praised by later emperors.
They can all feel something extraordinary from this book.
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin would read this book at this time.
It must have been done on a whim.
Otherwise why watch it if it's so good.
"You're here!" Li Shimin glanced at Dai Zhou from the corner of his eye.
"Yes! I'm here!" Dai Zhou was still worried.
"You're here just in time, read this book with me."
Li Shimin handed the book to Dai Zhou.
Dai Zhou has read "Spring and Autumn Fan Lu", and he is very positive about the teachings in the book.
"Why did Your Majesty suddenly read this book?"
"Oh? I saw the sunset this evening, it was very beautiful, and suddenly I remembered two words."
"What is it?"
"The connection between heaven and man, the unity of heaven and man!"
Dai Zhou was quite surprised.
Why did Li Shimin start studying this?
But as an emperor, sometimes he is too idle, and the things he studies are naturally all kinds of strange.
This is nothing.
"so……"
"The connection between heaven and man and the unity of heaven and man are mentioned in this book! So I want to read it again to see if I can have any new ideas."
Li Shimin said.
Then he said:
"I read this book, and it explains it very well. It explains what heaven is. There is a theory about heaven in the book, which means that you cannot be a human being in order to make a living. The one who is a human being is heaven, and human beings are based on Heaven, Heaven is also the great-grandfather of human beings, and the reason why this person is superior to Heaven."
Fertile things cannot create human beings. The thing that can create human beings is heaven. The reason why humans are human is due to heaven. Therefore, heaven is also the ancestor of humans. This is why human affairs coincide with celestial phenomena.
Li Shimin's chat box was immediately opened.
He has a different view on this book than ordinary people.
Of course, it is also different from Dai Zhou's view.
He went on to say:
"The book also says that Heaven is the great king of hundreds of gods. If Heaven is not prepared, even though there are hundreds of gods, it will be of no use. How can it be said that it is so? Those who sacrifice to the gods of earth! "Spring and Autumn" ridiculed it, and Confucius said: "Get Sinful to God, there is nothing to pray for. "This is the method. Therefore, it has never been seen that the Qin State has brought heavenly blessings like the Zhou State. The poem goes: "Only this King Wen is careful, shows his service to God, and allows him to have many blessings. "Many blessings do not mean that humans have done merit, but that they are blessed by heaven. It is said that the sons of the Zhou Dynasty have many virtuous people. As for the number of men who were born in parallel, four children were born, and eight men were born from four births. They are all gentlemen and handsome men. This day The reason why the Zhou Kingdom was prospered was not something the Zhou Kingdom could do.”
Li Shimin really had these words at his fingertips.
It can be seen that his understanding of this book is still very deep.
Then, before Dai Zhou could speak, Li Shimin said again:
"The Father is the Heaven of the Son. The Heaven is the Heaven of the Father. It is born without Heaven, and it is something that has not yet existed. Heaven is the ancestor of all things, and all things cannot be born without Heaven."
Dai Zhou didn't understand what Li Shimin meant by saying this.
"Whatever your Majesty wants to say, you can say it to me!"
He had been performing just now, not giving Dai Zhou any chance.
At this time, Dai Zhou was panicking.
If you have anything to say, just say it, just keep telling it what it says in the book.
If you don't understand, you can ask it.
But they are still showing off there, which is really confusing.
But Li Shimin also said: "This book explains it in great detail. It can be said that the sky is unconquerable. However, in recent years, we often hear about chasing the sky. And some time ago, I also heard that you can hang the sky." Say. In this case, that day may be conquerable. In this case, what the ancients said is not entirely correct."
It turned out that Li Shimin was hit at that time.
Li Yun once told Li Min about the helicopter.
Although there was no explanation at the time, Li Shimin could guess it.
Li Min wanted to conquer the sky.
Take to the sky in an aircraft.
This is contrary to my own knowledge.
Therefore, he was confused.
Try to talk some sense into yourself.
But it can't.
That's just the way it is.
No matter how hard he tried, it was all in vain.
Regarding this, Dai Zhou said: "Your Majesty, perhaps the teachings in this book cannot cover everything, and we can debate it through other ancient books."
But the ancient books are still owned by the ancients.
How could the ancients predict what would happen in the future?
This is where Li Shimin is confused.
After hearing what Dai Zhou said.
Li Shimin added: "I also asked people to check the 50,000 books in Jixian Palace. No one who can explain the concept of the opening of heaven is as complete as "Spring and Autumn Fanlu"!"
There are 50,000 volumes of books in Jixian Palace, and each volume contains no more than 10,000 words, so that is a collection of 500 million words.
In the future, there will only be dozens of books.
Moreover, among these 50,000 volumes, many are from other doctrines.
Those who want to have the concept of heaven are really very few.
"So I want to hear what you think."
Only then did Dai Zhou understand that Li Shimin had asked him to come here because of his doubts.
Dai Zhou is a very talented person.
He was deeply loved by Li Shimin.
In literature, he has certain attainments.
But why him?
Rather than Kong Yingda who is after Confucius?
Perhaps because Dai Zhou often visited the palace, Li Shimin was the first person he thought of.
And maybe Li Shimin no longer trusts the descendants of Confucius.
Whatever the reason.
Dai Zhou always has to express his opinion.
But where to start?
Li Shimin thought he didn't dare to say anything, so he added, "It's okay, you can say whatever comes to mind. I won't blame you."
Dai Zhou seemed to have thought that the emperor was the proud son of heaven.
Is he worried about something?
But what did he have to worry about?
The only possibility is that Li Min posed some threat to him.
Li Min...
Wait, Dai Zhou thought of a way.
So, Dai Zhou opened his mouth and said a few words.
Li Shimin was shocked.
