Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

He also consistently avoided any contact with Qin Hui and his wife.

Moreover, Qi Chongli was Qin Hui's political enemy!

Li Qingzhao attended a gathering of noblewomen in her sixties.

I wrote an article to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.

They wanted to send her into the harem to curry favor with the emperor and empress.

At that time, Qin Hui's elder brother, Qin Zi, was in the Hanlin Academy.

They directly blocked Li Qingzhao's article.

Only routinely, money was given to Li Qingzhao.

They prevented the emperor from seeing the articles praising him.

This can no longer be explained by a lack of rapport.

Definitely an enemy!

Li Hang sat in the carriage.

Seeing Wang turn and leave,

I suddenly felt a little worried.

He entered the courtyard and saw his sister, and said...

"That Wang woman is very cunning,"

"Sister, it's best not to offend her."

"I don't want to offend her,"

"I really don't want to accept her expensive gift,"

Li Qingzhao said,

"Once you accept it, who knows what trouble you'll get into in the future."

Li Hang said no more.

He is an honest man.

They're the kind of people who can be easily fooled.

Li Qingzhao asked, "What brings you here?"

Li Hang looked somewhat embarrassed.

Choose to tell the truth:

"There is a debate in the court about the matter of Deyun,"

"The officials haven't given us an explanation."

"I heard that my sister was summoned twice,"

"My colleagues... they told me to ask my sister to inquire."

"What's there to argue about regarding virtue and fortune?" Li Qingzhao asked, puzzled.

Li Hang said earnestly, "The most important matters of the state are war and sacrifice."

"Virtue and fortune are related to sacrifices, and this must be established,"

"Otherwise, how will we perform the sacrificial rites in the future?"

Li Qingzhao said, "The Emperor has his own profound intentions."

"It's best not to get involved recklessly."

"It's not about meddling randomly,"

"I just wanted to ask my sister to inquire about it,"

"What are Your Majesty's thoughts on the current dynasty's moral character?" Li Hang asked.

Li Qingzhao shook her head: "One cannot fathom the emperor's intentions."

In the beginning,

Virtue and fortune are determined according to the mutual restraint of the five elements.

Later, one of my fellows played the role of abdication.

They changed "virtue and fortune" to "the mutual generation of the five elements".

According to the theory of mutual generation of the five elements

The Song Dynasty was associated with the element of fire.

The Ming Dynasty should now be governed by the element of Earth.

Because Emperor Huizong of Song promoted feudal superstition

The concept of virtue and fortune has become very popular in the last twenty years.

Even the ritual system reformed by Emperor Huizong of Song,

It also emphasizes the element of fire.

The ritual of worshipping the Fire God,

It's even higher in rank than the worship of Houtu!

Zhao Yuan established the Ming Dynasty.

Although it is generally considered to belong to the Earth element.

But it has never been officially acknowledged.

The ministers were very anxious.

The fate of the country and its dynasty is uncertain.

How to establish a sacrificial ritual system?

The father and son had a simple idea.

The point is to downplay the "Five Elements and Virtue Theory"!

In fact, from the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty,

This thing was then abandoned.

The Yuan Dynasty never officially recognized the virtue of virtue.

However, it is widely believed among the people that the Yuan Dynasty belonged to the element of water.

Chapter 1873 Fire Virtue

When Zhu Yuanzhang rebelled...

To demonstrate their irreconcilable conflict with the Yuan Dynasty,

Therefore, he declared that he belonged to the element of fire.

However, after the Ming Dynasty was formally established,

Zhu Yuanzhang then stopped mentioning the matter of Deyun.

The Fire element in the Ming Dynasty

And so it became a folk legend.

The official stance is neither to support nor oppose it.

As for the Qing Dynasty...

Emperor Qianlong directly stated that the idea of ​​"virtue and fortune" was nonsense.

From the sacrificial system of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties,

I knew they wouldn't follow the "Deyun" (德运) ideology.

Early in the morning, Li Qingzhao rode a donkey cart to work.

They worked until lunchtime.

Colleagues gathered together,

They're even discussing the concept of "virtue and fortune."

Li Qingzhao asked curiously, "Why is everyone suddenly paying attention to this matter?"

Li Congxun explained: "It was Mao Kui, the former Fujian Transport Commissioner during the Song Dynasty."

"He was recalled to the capital for his meritorious service in donating soil."

"But he was only granted the title of Hanlin Academician,"

"No actual assignment was given."

"Mao Kui wanted to gain the emperor's favor,"

"Five memorials were submitted in succession,"

"Request that the Great Ming Dynasty's Deyun be formally established."

"And they deliberately seek novelty and change,"

"It is said that the abdication should be based on the mutual generation of the five elements,"

"The Ming Dynasty's conquest of the Song Dynasty was due to the mutual restraint of the Five Elements,"

"The virtue of the new Ming Dynasty should be the virtue of water."

"The court officials then began to argue about this,"

Zhang Zeduan laughed.

"Most officials condemned Mao Kui for his attention-seeking tactics,"

"It is believed that the Ming Dynasty must belong to the Earth element."

"But this also provides an opportunity to revisit the theory of virtue and destiny,"

"I urge Your Majesty to determine the virtuous destiny as soon as possible."

Li Tang also chuckled, saying, "The imperial court is quite lively."

"The ministers proposed a grand sacrifice to the Earth Virtue Star Lord,"

"But some people say that the Earth God should be the main deity."

“Some people also say that we should worship Venus as the main deity,” Zhao Guang said.

Li Qingzhao was amused by this as well.

"What does this have to do with Venus?"

Li Tang said in a low voice, "The Emperor and the Emperor raised an army in Yangzhou."

"That is the ancient Taoist temple of Venus."

"The foolish emperor Zhao Ji of the former Song Dynasty even once allowed the current emperor to promote the Taoist temple of Venus."

"Therefore, it is widely believed that the official was the reincarnation of Venus, the planet of Venus."

“Isn’t Venus a woman?” Li Qingzhao asked.

Li Tang said, "What distinction is there between male and female gods?"

Zhao Guang said, "Therefore, some ministers suggested..."

"Our new Ming Dynasty should belong to the Jin Dynasty."

"They also said that the rise of the Jin Dynasty was due to the plundering of Jin and De,"

"The Ming Dynasty should establish the Golden Virtue Star as soon as possible to seize its destiny."

What kind of nonsense is this?

Li Qingzhao was speechless for a moment.
