As night fell, there were several bonfires in the military camp, and rows of soldiers patrolled the camp.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Xiang Yu sat at the head of the army. In his hand was the intelligence from various places. The more he looked at it, the angrier he became. He threw it directly to the ground and roared in a low voice: "Sure enough, they are a group of rats with two ends that cannot be trusted." generation."
Yu Ji just happened to lift the curtain and walk in. She was startled by the sound of the bamboo slips thrown in front of her. She was extremely beautiful, with fair and translucent skin. She was born in Jiangdong, and her temperament was like the slow flowing water outside Gusu City. As gentle as water, seeing her reminds me of the woman praised in "The Book of Songs: Wu Feng".
Yu Ji didn't know why Xiang Yu was angry, so she called out worriedly: "Your Majesty~"
Xiang Yu raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw the slim Yu Ji walking towards him. The anger in his heart was swept away, and he beckoned: "Yu'er, I have a headache, please rub it for me."
Yu Ji came up to sit down. Xiang Yu closed his eyes and enjoyed Yu Ji's slender hands. He smelled the sweet fragrance and felt calm in his heart.
"Your Majesty, why did King Qi rebel?"
Yu Ji asked with deep concern, and Xiang Yu sighed softly. Even though he was an invincible military leader, no one could always be strong. In front of Yu Ji, he was finally able to take off those disguises.
"Because I cut off the land of Qi and transferred it to Chu, and I also intend to suppress him, of course he will rebel."
Xiang Yu said very calmly, and Yu Ji was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, you are an upright hero in my heart and mind. I will not do this for no reason. Are you willing to tell me the reason?"
Xiang Yu reached out and took Yu Ji's soft body into his arms. Looking back on the past, a look of disdain gradually appeared on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "To conquer the unjust and punish the Qin Dynasty, the heroes of Shandong raised their troops and finally destroyed the Qin Dynasty.
But the fact is that these nobles of the six countries are fearful of the Qin army, but greedy and cruel to their own people. Should such allies be trusted?
If there was no uncle He Ji who led the Jiangdong children to the north to conquer Qin, how could their group of losers escape Zhang Han's suppression?
If Luo Gong's Tomb was in front of me, I would have nothing to say, but the others were just wild dogs following me to eat the Qin Dynasty's corpse.
Do you deserve to be a king? "
Xiang Yu looked down on the so-called heroes of Shandong from the bottom of his heart, thinking that they were just a group of gongs, just following the Luo family and the Xiang family to pick up bargains. A different group of people could still do it.
Yu Ji asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, if that's the case, you gave them land, why didn't they repay your kindness, but instead betrayed you?"
Xiang Yu said coldly: "Yu'er, you don't understand. There are many people in this world who value loyalty over life and death. For example, there are tens of thousands of men outside my account who followed me out of Jiangdong. They are all willing to die for me.
But most nobles are not like this. The Xiang family has been prominent in the Chu Kingdom for eight hundred years, and has fought with the nobles of the Chu Kingdom for eight hundred years, and has seen too many dark and dirty things.
I would not be surprised if the nobles do anything treacherous. Even if I grant all the land of Qi to the King of Qi, he will still rebel in the end.
In this case, it is better to weaken their power, and when they rebel, I will have a reason to take back those lands.
After I pacify all the kings, I will abolish the sacrifices of Haotian, Taiyi, Shaohao, etc., and only sacrifice to King Su.
The Luo family is really too stubborn. As early as the Bangzhou period, King Su should have been worshiped as the only supreme god.
The saint kings of the past all received their orders from heaven, and I, Xiang Yu, receive my orders from my ancestors. "
Seeing Xiang Yu become more energetic again when talking about King Su, Yu Ji hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the people who have been offering sacrifices to King Su have always been the Luo family. Although the clan system has collapsed, there are no big sects and small sects now. The difference is, but if you do this, won’t you offend Luo Shi?”
Xiang Yu is indeed a descendant of King Su, but according to the patriarchal lineage, the real ancestor of his lineage is Luo Yan, just like Liu Bei does not call himself the Queen of Emperor Gao, but only the Queen of Zhongshan Prince Jing.
Xiang Yu smiled and said: "If it was naturally like this before, but now that I am the emperor and the common ruler of the world, even according to the patriarchal law, I will take King Su as my ancestor.
Besides, why would the Luo family be angry? Although the Luo family and the Xiang family are far apart, wouldn't they be willing if I raise the status of their ancestors, even if Luo Gong's tomb is in front of me?
Eight hundred years after Xiang Luo's family was separated and eight hundred years after the loss of the stigmata, Xiang had become the emperor and gained the supreme status in the world.
The old days of those kingdoms are coming to an end. King Su will rule in the heavens and his descendants will rule the earth. "
Looking at Xiang Yu's heroic demeanor, Yu Ji felt dazzled. This was her favorite hero.
…
Luo Ling sat in Zhaocheng, looking through the words in the history books that cursed the emperor, and sighed slightly: "You are ordered by heaven, and you call yourself emperor, there is no such thing as emperor, they are just mortals.
Only Luo Shi can be regarded as truly receiving orders from heaven, but Luo Shi cannot be the supreme emperor.
Ancestor, when will the last shackles on this body be released?
It is so painful to see people all over the world living in misery, but we can only do our best to alleviate it. "
After creating Luoling, Ji Zhao let himself fall into a deep sleep again. As the family became more and more powerful, Ji Zhao paid little attention to the family, and did not express his wishes to the family for a long, long time.
Although he knew that everything would end in three thousand years at most, and he knew that the imperial system would not be the mainstream in the future, he could not say it, so the Luo family's children did not know.
These wise disciples are preparing for the continuation of the family for ten thousand years. This is why Luo Ling, as the head of the family, clearly knows how strong the family's heritage is, but he often tries his best to save the family's heritage.
Just like the battle to destroy Qin at the end of Qin Dynasty, the Luo family invested a lot of resources to ensure that it could survive the most chaotic early period after the establishment of the new dynasty. When order was formed, with the ability of the Luo family, there was no need to Rely on the artifact.
The family and Zhu Xia are like a scale, they must maintain balance at all times. Once the balance is broken, it will be the children who will use their own lives to defend their ideals and will not be forced to use the family's heritage.
Luo Ling still had a clear understanding of the situation in the world. He had already predicted Xiang Yu's behavior, but he no longer cared about this matter. What he cared about was how King Su would appear in the new dynasty.
The investment of so many resources is enough for Luo to gain some ideological voice.
In fact, Luo Ling was momentarily tempted by Xiang Yu's suggestion that he would sacrifice King Su. He wanted to use King Su's presence to limit the king's power and prevent them from being careless and becoming a single husband. This was what Luo had always wanted to do. .
After all, the biggest bug of the Luo family is that it can ensure that the talents and morals of the children of the family are always on the passing line, which is perfect for supervising the king.
In the past, when King Su was enfeoffed, most of the nobles at that time were descendants of the three ancient emperors and were descendants of the three kings and five emperors.
But after thousands of years of imperial rule, they are basically all descendants of the Ji surname. In other words, the three kings and five emperors are all in the past tense, and King Su is the super ancestor.
Of course Luo Ling knew that Xiang Yu respected and loved King Su. If King Su appeared, he could really limit Xiang Yu's power.
But after thinking about it, Luo Ling forcibly restrained this idea.
First of all, it is impossible for King Su to appear in this world.
Secondly, it is not a good thing to directly promote King Su as the only supreme god according to Xiang Yu's ideas.
King Su said: If you accept the country's filth, you are called the master of the country; if you accept the country's misfortune, you are the king of the world.
The Lord of the State and the King of the World have to endure so much criticism, what about the Supreme God of the ancestors?
Ji Zhao himself is not willing to become the supreme god worshiped by countless people, and he is not a god of faith.
But he knew that the Luo family needed it very much. These descendants worked hard to maintain the continuation of the family. How could Ji Zhao make it more difficult for his descendants to survive just because he didn't like it at all?
He loves those Luo children who have struggled for his goals and ideals from generation to generation.
Luoling's biggest concern is that the whole world knows that the Xiang family comes from the Luo family. After all, there are too few prominent families whose direct lineage can last for eight hundred years. Even the direct lineage of the Lu family of Jiang in Qi has been Killed them all.
Everyone knows that Xiang Yu is a descendant of King Su, and the relationship between the Xiang family and King Su is too close.
What if one day the Xiang royal family makes the world angry and resentful, and the resentment of the people in the world is transferred from the Emperor Xiang to King Su?
Even if he is not the emperor of the Xiang family, there are so many people in the world who worship King Su. However, King Su can only show his sage intermittently and cannot pay attention to the world all the time. There will definitely be many people who will be disappointed or even reviled. This is normal.
Therefore, it was necessary to find a shield for King Su. Luo Ling studied and studied, and found that the previous God was very suitable. His status was high enough and he could take the blame.
The sky is still the same sky, and King Su appears as an image of heaven with fairness and justice, sometimes sleeping and sometimes waking up. When he wakes up, he will punish those dynasties and people who are guilty of sins.
As for when he was sleeping, God was still there, and it had nothing to do with King Su.
When people pray, they call out to King Su. If King Su does not respond, they curse God. It is perfect.
This is the position Luo Ling came up with that is most suitable for King Su. From the moment this idea appeared in his mind, he and Xiang Yu had an essential conflict.
King Su is the most untouchable point in the Luo family.
This is a completely unfair competition. Luo Ling can really meet King Su. How can he win against this feather?
————
The process of King Su becoming the supreme god of the Xia civilization is a miracle in the history of religion. He matured in a very short time and affected the people at the upper and lower levels of the empire at the same time. Among the countries that use polytheism all over the world, this is a miracle. Unparalleled.
The author doesn't even know whether to use the word religion. He is undoubtedly the supreme god of civilization, but there is no religious group that exists around him. Or, the emperors and nobles of the Zhuxia Empire are members of this group. ——"The Evolution of Chinese Religion"
Xiang Yu didn't want to replace Da Zong. He simply felt that he should sacrifice to King Su after becoming the emperor. He wanted to make his ancestors the supreme gods, just like those who later named their ancestors emperors, but short-lived. It is still different from Luo's idea of lasting for thousands of years. This is the difference. I should write it clearly.
