Chapter 880 Why do gods come to rob me of my treasures! Sacrificial activities with Daqin characteristics!
Suddenly hearing Ying Zheng's voice, Ying Huan and other permanent officials hurriedly faced Ying Zheng and bowed their hands in greeting: "My lord, please pay homage to your Majesty!"
Ying Chengyu also had a pair of eyes. Liang: "Brother!"
Ying Zheng responded with a gentle smile and said in a broad voice: "What brother Wang said is actually what I think."
"Since there is good life in the world, Why do you take pleasure in killing the beautiful souls of all people?”
"Every time I think about this, I am always confused."
"Now that my brother Wang has finally solved my confusion, I suddenly understand!"
Although Great Qin has always liked to use human sacrifices, Ying Zheng But he hated it deeply, and even became angry with the gods because of it!
Ying Chengyu’s idea struck a chord with Ying Zheng.
Ying Huan hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Qi King!"
"To offer sacrifices to living people is to send the beautiful souls of all peoples to the side of the gods of heaven and earth according to the ritual of sacrifice to serve."
"Therefore, the heaven and earth are not rejoicing because of the slaughter of the beautiful souls of all peoples, but because I am happy to have the beauties of all people serve me!”
“What I am doing is not to kill the beauties of all people, but to send the beauties of all people to the side of the gods according to the ritual of sacrifice!”
< br>"This is a great joy for our country, the gods of heaven and earth, and for the people who are being sacrificed."
"If we don't sacrifice living people, the gods of heaven and earth will not be around us. Only then will the gods of heaven and earth unleash their wrath in order to serve the spirits of all peoples!”
"If we, the Great Qin, had not sent the spirits of all the people to serve us, there would have been no Qin people to persuade us when the gods of heaven and earth descended upon us with their wrath!"
In the view of Great Qin's sacrificial logic, using human sacrifices is a piece of cake. It's a very romantic thing, and those who are chosen as sacrifices are even more lucky.
Although they will suffer cruel torture, their brains will be boiled and fried until they are fragrant, and they will lose their lives, they will get the opportunity to serve the gods. What a value!
But this reason failed to convince Ying Zheng.
Because Ying Zheng’s aversion to human sacrifice has nothing to do with empathy, kindness, compassion and other beautiful qualities.
It’s a competition for limited resources!
The gods need beautiful and noble women, brave and loyal men, and a large number of cheap labor at their side?
We need beautiful and noble women to reward our heroes, brave and loyal men to serve as generals and ministers, and we need a large number of young men to expand our territory!
They are all awesome! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
The gods have hundreds of thousands of troops? Why should He come to rob the precious treasure?
Just as Ying Zheng was about to open his mouth to refute, Ying Chengxuan said in a deep voice: "Brother's concerns are actually justified!"
"Just like local officials representing the king's herdsmen, how could the king offer sacrifices after officials killed his subjects? Are you happy about the wealth of your subjects?"
"If the king wants to summon beautiful girls and talents to accompany him, he only needs a royal order."
"The emperor is a person who acts as a herdsman for heaven. How can heaven and earth do that? Are you happy because the emperor slaughtered Li Shu and offered up Li Shu’s soul?”
“If heaven and earth want to summon the people to accompany them, all it takes is a ray of God’s will.”
Ying Chengyu looked at Ying Huan and asked in a deep voice: "Do you think that heaven and earth are not capable of this?"
Ying Huan and other ministers hurriedly handed over their hands: "The power of heaven and earth cannot be measured!"
Ying Chengxuan asked in a louder voice: "The people are the people of the heaven and the earth, not the people of our great Qin!"
"You decide the life and death of the people without authorization, do you think you can entertain the world?"
"Whether heaven and earth allow it!"
According to Ying Chengyu's past temperament, he will prove that immortal gods do not exist. Sacrifice of human beings to the immortal gods of heaven and earth will not please the immortal gods of heaven and earth that do not exist, nor can they make the sacrifices serve the immortal gods of heaven and earth. side.
But today, Ying Chengyu complied with the concept of sacrifice and went a step further to confirm the rights of all people!
The emperor is only the 'herder' of the people on behalf of heaven, not the owner of all peoples. This is something everyone in the world recognizes.
After confirming the rights of all the people, the emperor, kings and dignitaries killed Li Shu, and then gave Li Shu’s soul to the gods of heaven and earth. They killed the lamb with the shepherd dog, and then killed the lamb. Giving the kneecaps of the hind legs to herdsmen to play Galaha is as absurd and ridiculous!
Ying Huan and all the regular subordinate officials were speechless by Ying Chengyu.
The pillar of belief that had always supported them in killing living people collapsed!
Ying Huan murmured in silence: "Could it be that the way we have been doing sacrifices all this time is wrong?!"
Ying Chengxuan said of course: "It's a big mistake!"< br>
“Otherwise, why are you so sincere in offering sacrifices, yet the gods of heaven and earth have never given you any gifts?”
Ying Chengxuan emphasized his voice and said: “The gods of heaven and earth hate the profoundness of this sacrificial method. ”
Ying Huan looked at Ying Chengyu with eyes full of confusion and curiosity, and asked in an increasingly urgent voice: "It's not just the earth dragon that doesn't like human sacrifice, but the gods of heaven and earth don't like human sacrifice either?!"
Ying Zheng looked at Ying Chengyu nervously, fearing that Ying Chengyu would give a different answer.
Fortunately, Ying Chengxiu said in a solemn voice: "None of the gods of heaven and earth like human sacrifice!"
"Anyone who likes human sacrifice is not the evil god of heaven and earth. ”
“Kill him!”
Ying Chengyu's determined attitude was irrefutable.
The various miracles that Ying Chengyu had performed made all the subordinate officials unable to argue.
Unless we can find another great shaman who can observe the heavenly phenomena and control the earthly dragons, what Ying Chengyu said during the sacrifice is the truth!
The irrefutable and unquestionable truth!
Ying Huan's brain was buzzing, and he smiled wryly at himself: "I never imagined that my subordinate, who has believed in the way of sacrifice all his life, would not only fail to please the gods of heaven and earth, but would actually make them hate him!"
"Xiaguan is actually the sinner of Da Qin!"
Stepping back, Ying Huan bowed his hands and said, "It is Daqin's good fortune to have Lord Chang'an in Da Qin!"
"Xiaguan Hui" According to what Lord Chang'an said, we will adjust the sacrificial rituals of Daqin and cancel all human sacrifice rituals."
"All officials in the Fengchang Yamen Office will make sacrifices to the gods of heaven and earth and pray to the gods of heaven and earth. You only blame me, not the Qin Dynasty.”
“Please give me some guidance from Lord Chang’an so that we will not do such a sacrifice that offends the gods of heaven and earth in the future!”
Ying Chengyu also solemnly raised his hands in return: "As the lord of Qin, I should try my best to help Qin!" "You don't need to worry too much, just go ahead and prepare."
Ying Huan and others took the opportunity to retreat. Ying Chengyu, who had looked like a magician just now, suddenly showed a bright smile to Ying Zheng: "Brother! In the future, our Great Qin will no longer have the ritual of human sacrifice."
" Are you happy?"
Ying Zheng did not show a smile, but said solemnly: "Brother Nai has already made it clear to the world to cancel the ritual of human sacrifice."
"I am just considering that this move may hurt Brother Wang, so I have hesitated until now."
"Brother Nai wants it, and Brother Nai should bear the cost himself."
"Don't blame Brother Nai. My selfish thoughts ruined Brother Wang’s goodwill in the hearts of the gods of heaven and earth!”
Ying Chengyu was speechless when he heard this.
Co-author Ying Zheng has not yet explicitly ordered Da Qin not to allow human sacrifice. Or is it his fault?
Ying Chengyu immediately stepped back, and then asked in a low voice: "Eldest brother, do you think that my brother knows ghosts and gods, knows the world, and is favored by the earth?"
Ying Zheng asked with some doubts: "This is the truth. , why do you believe it or not?”
“Brother Wang has now made it clear that he is a great witch in the world, do you still want brother Nai to continue pretending not to believe it?”
Ying Zheng’s eyes clearly read. With a line of big characters:
Stop pretending! You are the great witch!
Ying Chengyu choked and remained silent for a few breaths before nodding helplessly, powerlessly, speechlessly and with a hint of self-deprecation: "Brother is right!"
Ying Zheng is completely hopeless!
The path of science is completely impossible to lead Ying Zheng, so let superstition take over!
Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile: "Brother, it's what I expected, it's really good!"
"Brother Wang has been hiding it for so long, and today he can finally show off his talents!"
"Brother Nai, congratulations to the king!"
The corner of Ying Chengyu's mouth twitched and he looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Thank you so much, brother!"
Ying Zheng frowned slightly: " Brother Nai always felt that there was something wrong with Brother Wang's eyes. "
If Ying Zheng saw it correctly, Ying Chengxuan looked at him like a fool!
And it’s the look of a hopeless, terminally ill fool!
Ying Chengxuan immediately retorted: "Brother must have felt wrong!"
Then Ying Chengxuan quickly changed the subject and said: "In addition to canceling the human sacrifice, does the elder brother have any other intention to adjust the sacrifice? "Where?"
"You can take advantage of this opportunity for me to offer sacrifices for the first time."
Seeing that Ying Chengxuan's eyes were sincere and showed no embarrassment, Ying Zheng did not agree with Ying Cheng. He was polite and said bluntly: "The livestock and grain used in sacrifices in our Da Qin have always been several times or even dozens of times that of Zhou." A heavy burden! ”
"Brother Nai is determined to reduce the number of livestock and grains used in sacrifices!"
Most other countries in the Zhou Dynasty only used twelve livestock as sacrifices, but Da Qin sacrifices often used hundreds or thousands of livestock as sacrifices. .
These are only the sacrifices used by the imperial court to worship heaven and earth.
Including the sacrifices used by local government offices for sacrifices, the Qin Dynasty consumes tens of thousands of livestock every year, including many excellent war horses and strong cattle!
Can Ying Zheng not feel distressed!
Ying Zheng changed the subject and said: "But if it is not good for the king to reduce the livestock and grain used for sacrifices, I can also add more sacrifices!"
Ying Chengyu thought for a moment and shook his head: "Brother I think that the things used for sacrifices can be changed, but the things used for sacrifices cannot be reduced. On the contrary, some things used for sacrifices can be added."
Ying Zheng saw it clearly and nodded slowly: "Since Brother Wang. Having said that, it seems that the reason why our Great Qin thrives is really related to our Great Qin’s willingness to sacrifice in sacrifices.”
“Brother Nai is so shallow.”
Ying Chengxuan shook his head again. : "The reason why our great Qin Dynasty thrives has nothing to do with sacrifice."
"My advice is to add more items for sacrifice, because our country, Great Qin, has always sold the items for sacrifice at high prices after the sacrifice."
"A sheep only needs to walk on the altar once, and Feng Chang The price of at least two sheep can be sold by the official if they are slaughtered by his own hands."
"This is only the price of ordinary sacrifices."
"Yu Di personally presided over the price of the sacrifice. How can I get three sheep in exchange for it?”
“How much wealth can our Great Qin court use this to gain?”
"My brother thinks that as long as war horses and farm cattle are not included in the list of sacrificial animals, the more livestock left, the better!"
Ying Zheng: Huh? ? ?
I originally thought that the king’s brother added more sacrificial objects to please the gods of heaven and earth.
In the end, Brother Wang was actually making money in the name of offering sacrifices? ! !
Ying Zheng looked at Ying Chengxuan blankly and said, "Such a solemn and sacred matter has become a merchant's matter in the words of the king's brother?"
"Brother Nai has never seen a witch like Brother Wang!"
Ying Chengyu's eyes lit up, he looked at Ying Zheng and asked: "So, the eldest brother thinks that he is not actually a witch?"
Ying Zheng shook his head slowly and said with emotion: "That's why Brother Nai just found out today that all the shamans that Brother Nai has seen are swindlers!"
Ying Chengyu: (_)< br>
You are really hopeless!
Taking a deep breath to suppress the speechlessness in his heart, Ying Chengyu pulled Ying Zheng towards the tent and whispered: "Take advantage of these two days, you and I will have a good discussion."
"We must work out a plan. Sacrificial activities with Da Qin characteristics."
"Let the sacrifices be used by Da Qin!"
