Chapter 214 – Why not as good as the Son of Heaven
Chapter 214 – Why not as good as the Son of Heaven
Speaking of Dong Zhongshu, one cannot help but mention the predecessor of the Great Wei Dynasty, the Great Han Dynasty.
After Dong Zhongshu established Confucianism, he was not satisfied with the status quo and wanted to expand the influence of Confucianism. He contacted the Han Emperor at the time, saying that the Han Emperor's ancestors had slain the white snake in accordance with the will of heaven to establish the Great Han, which could be called the Heavenly Han. The Heavenly Han should not be confined to one state, its territory should be the entire Nine Provinces.
At that time, the Great Han was powerful and had a trend to surpass the Great Zhou, ranking first in the Nine Provinces. The Han Emperor himself was a cultivator who had practiced to the Tribulation Crossing stage, and the Zhou Emperor at that time was not as good as the Han Emperor.
These two factors combined made the Han Emperor unprecedentedly inflated, giving birth to the ambition to swallow the Nine Provinces.
But the Immortal Ascension Ladder was not broken, and which power did not have immortals behind it? Their Han ancestors were just one of many immortals.
Under such circumstances, a good theory was needed to establish the orthodox position of the Great Han, so that the Great Han could have a just cause. Dong Zhongshu's theory of the response between heaven and man was just what the Han Emperor wanted.
What about the immortals? Behind the Great Han was the heaven itself.
The Han Emperor had already thought it through. He would not exterminate those forces with immortals behind them, but would leave their heritage and orthodoxy. All he needed was for those forces to recognize the position of the Great Han.
