My Daming New Empire

Lan Yan hugged Zhu Zhanji's neck excitedly, and kissed him proactively. "Even if I become a god, I will always be your little baby..."

(I don’t know if everyone is satisfied with this idea? But I am still satisfied. If it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t write that Lan Yan is a time traveler.)

Chapter 78 New Explosives

"Your Highness, I just want to ask, if Lan Liangdi is Empress Doumu, then why are you godlike?"

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "I am the emperor of the world."

For more than ten years, Yi Qingzi, who has been loyal to Zhu Zhanji and obedient, said bluntly this time: "It's not right." Then he apologized and saluted Lan Yan next to him.

Zhu Zhanji was not angry, because he knew that it is better to listen to the opinions of professionals when it comes to religion.

And Yi Qingzi, as a descendant of Han Zhongli, is also a Taoist priest, and has a close relationship with Taoism, so he naturally became the object of Zhu Zhanji's consultation.

Zhu Zhanji nodded and signaled Yiqingzi to continue, and Yiqingzi was also familiar with Zhu Zhanji's nature.Speak clearly in person if you have something to say, even if you say something wrong, but don't hesitate.

After saluting Lan Yan again, he said, "Mrs. Doumu is the mother of the gods. Her nine sons are Gou Chen Xing, the Emperor of Heaven, the North Star, Emperor Ziwei, and the Big Dipper. But Lan Can Concubine Liang have children? If Concubine Lan Liang cannot have nine sons, wouldn't it be wrong? If Concubine Lan Liang will have nine sons in the future, where will the little prince of Qi Town be placed? More importantly, who will she have with His Highness? Big and who is small?"

Only then did Zhu Zhanji realize that his thinking was simple. This matter was not simply a religious issue, a scientific issue, but also a major issue related to the succession of the throne in the future.

If Lan Yan really made a huge contribution and the common people knew about it, then wouldn't her status be surpassed by the royal family!

The promotion of her status will directly threaten Sun Xian, Zhu Qizhen, and even Zhu Zhanji's own status.

Zhu Zhanji asked: "In your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"

Yiqingzi smiled and said: "It is good that Your Highness wants to sort out the current system of Taoist gods. Only when the Taoist gods are sorted out will the common people know which one to believe in. As for the rebirth of Taoism, it just happens to be comparable to today's Taoist gods. The Institute of Physics and the Institute of Chemistry combine to improve the lives of ordinary people.

The common people are the easiest to be satisfied, as long as they can live a good life, they will naturally believe in the teachings of Taoism.No, it should be the scriptures of Taoism. "

Yiqingzi knew very well that although Zhu Zhanji didn't have a good impression of Buddhism, he also didn't have a good impression of Taoism.What he really likes is Taoism, not Taoism.

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "There are countless Taoist scriptures today, except for a few that have research value, most of them are deceptive. I don't read many Taoist scriptures, only "Tao Te Ching" and "Nan Hua Jing" Slightly catches the eye."

Yi Qingzi couldn't help laughing and said: "The spread and origin of Taoism come from these two scriptures, so it is natural that it can be seen by His Highness. The key question is not here, but since His Highness wants to create another religion, where should it come from?" Let’s start, based on what scriptures.”

Zhu Zhanji understood what Yiqingzi meant. Taoism was founded relatively late, only in the Han Dynasty, but Taoism had already flourished hundreds of years before that.

The development of Taoism was still before Confucianism, and even Confucius was still a descendant of Laozi, who personally admitted that "Laozi is the best in the world".

But Taoism does not have the concept of benefiting all living beings. They have always paid attention to personal cultivation.

Therefore, the common people's belief in Taoism lacks a foundation, because it is useless to believe in it, and no one will help them.

After the Han Dynasty, Taoist learning was still the foundation of governing the country at the beginning, and the Huang-Lao theory continued until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, before being abandoned by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and choosing Confucianism, which was more suitable for the emperor's rule.

The people of Taoism who were not willing to be abolished, in order to resist, a sect that rebelled in the name of Taoism appeared. This is the origin of Taoism.

But at the beginning, Taoism focused on the upper rulers, not the common people.

When Buddhism entered the Central Plains and began to preach, Taoism became anxious at this time, and began to compete with Buddhism for believers.

In other words, most of the Daoist scriptures were only available after the Han Dynasty, and their origins are some original Taoist books such as the Tao Te Ching, which were reinterpreted by them.

It is also because Taoism was born after the Taoist forces were fragmented, so each sect has its own system of gods and scriptures, which is an important reason why Taoism has not been able to integrate.

Such a sect is naturally not an opponent of Buddhism. For more than 1000 years, it has been suppressed by Buddhism.

Now that Zhu Zhanji wants to establish a new sect, and also in the name of Taoism, he naturally needs to find his own roots in the Tao Te Ching and other Huang-Lao academics.

Let Zhu Zhanji grasp the direction, let him explain the scriptures, then he will be blinded.

Before he could decide how to answer, Yiqingzi said again: "Besides, the name Scientology is not in line with the world's ideas. People don't understand what science is, so how can they believe it? So if Your Highness wants to preach, you have to start anew." Think of a name."

Zhu Zhanji's plan is full of loopholes in the eyes of Yi Qingzi. He has followed Zhu Zhanji since he was six years old, and he is very clear about Zhu Zhanji's development trajectory over the years.

Not only is he familiar with Zhu Zhanji's development trajectory, he is also the first person to accept some of Zhu Zhanji's advanced theories.

Since Zhu Zhanji built ten research institutes in Xiamaqiao, he has been researching non-stop.Physics is the investigation of things. Although it is a Mohist school, Taoism is not without its scriptures in this regard, and even many things were put forward earlier than Mohism.

Chemistry can be regarded as one of the foundations of Taoism, because the first thing Taoists learn is to identify herbs and make alchemy to cultivate themselves.Except for Taoism, almost no one has a strong foundation of Taoism.

As for mathematics, this is the subject that Zhu Zhanji attaches the most importance to. He even proposed it as the foundation and foundation of the new sect, and Yi Qingzi also agreed.

This is in the Taoist scriptures that Tao generates one.One life two.Two begets three.The theory of three lives and all things.

As the origin of Chinese civilization, Sanyi can be said to be three basic mathematics books. "Lianshan" and "Guizang" have been lost, and Yiqingzi is unknown.But in the palace, he consulted the preserved "Book of Changes".

This book has been used for divination for a long time, but half of the content in it is related to mathematics, and philosophy, politics, life, literature, art, science and so on are derived from it.

Therefore, both Taoism and Confucianism regard the Book of Changes as the root and classic.

Therefore, using mathematics as the basis of the new sect, Yi Qingzi very much agrees.He even believed that in this way, the arrogance of Confucianism could be directly suppressed.

Zhu Zhanji sorted out his thoughts at this moment, nodded and said: "Indeed, it's easy to think alone. In this case, let's not mention Lan Liangdi as the fact that Empress Doum is alive. After she makes achievements, she needs to publicize more.

The name Scientology is indeed not popular enough to make it difficult for everyone to accept, so it is better to change the name to Truth Sect.Gu even thought up the opening line, "Gentlemen are harmonious but different, villains are the same but not harmonious."I love my teacher, and I love the truth even more'. "

Yiqingzi couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said, "Your Highness, you should leave these matters to us!"

Lan Yan, who was sitting next to her and hadn't spoken, couldn't help laughing, and quickly covered her mouth. Even Li Liang couldn't help but want to laugh.

Seeing Yiqingzi's expression, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but blush.Yiqingzi was giving him face, and didn't refute him directly.

The first half of this sentence is a Confucian theory. If he uses it, Confucianism will definitely fight endlessly.

The latter sentence was said by Aristotle, because at least tens of thousands of people knew about it after a trip to Europe.

If you borrow other people's scriptures in the scriptures and express them in another way, it's okay, but if you just copy them directly like this, it will look too tasteless.

What's more, in the "Book of Changes" and "Tao Te Ching", it is not that there are no more classic words.

Afraid of Zhu Zhanji's embarrassment, Yi Qingzi flattered and said, "The Truth Sect is a good name. The Tao is the truth, and the truth is the way. Your Highness is naturally intelligent, and the old minister admires it."

Of course Zhu Zhanji knew this not because he was smart, but because he had more knowledge and thought more.

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji didn't mean to blame, Yi Qingzi turned to Lan Yan who was sitting on the side and said, "Lady Lan Liang, my servant was just discussing the matter as it stands, and didn't mean to be profane."

In front of outsiders, Lan Yan is still very indifferent, always acting calm and breezy.She hummed and said: "When His Highness proposed it, I felt that something was wrong. After the Taoist priest said this, I finally understood it."

Looking at the two of them, Yiqingzi couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, Lan Liangdi, Pindao has always had a question, why is Your Highness so sure that Lan Liangdi can develop good medicine and stronger explosives?"

Zhu Zhanji looked at Lan Yan with a smile, Lan Yan nodded, and said a little coldly: "The good medicine may take a little longer, but the explosives, prepare the materials for me, and I can prepare them in an hour." .”

Not only Yi Qingzi, but even Li Liang and Jin Kuo who were listening couldn't help looking at Lan Yan in surprise.

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "Let's drive to the Institute of Chemistry, facts can prove everything."
