When Xu Yan heard Liu Che's reply, he did not conclude whether ghosts and gods existed. Instead, he continued,"" In ancient times, the Huaxu Clan gave birth to Fuxi by stepping on giant footprints, the Fubao Clan enjoyed the moonlight at night and had a silver snake circling the seven stars, and the thunder entered the belly and gave birth to Xuanyuan. Everyone thought it was strange, so they were the leaders of the tribe.”
"After that, there was the Heavenly Fate Xuan Bird that descended and gave birth to Shang. Therefore, Shang Tang raised an army to conquer Xia Jie and established Yin Shang.”
"Five hundred years after Shang Tang, there was the Phoenix Cry in Xiqi, and King Wu conquered Zhou. Then, there were two weeks and eight hundred years of rule.”
"Two weeks and eight hundred years later, the Black Dragon entered the human world. The First Emperor swept across the world and ended the chaotic Spring and Autumn Period.”
"After that, Qin Shihuang, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and the Ghost God of Fox Words and Fish Books rebelled against Qin.”
"Now, in our Great Han Dynasty, there is even a great ancestor who stepped on the seven stars and killed the white snake to revolt. He became the son of the Red Emperor, which is why he was able to overthrow the violent Qin and seize the world.”
"The abilities of ghosts and gods are truly mysterious and unfathomable. I don't dare to make wild guesses. Whether they exist or not can only be judged by Your Majesty alone.”
Ancient emperors.
Especially the founding emperor.
In order to prove the legitimacy of their conquest of the world, they would often deify themselves and compile all kinds of myths and legends to prove their extraordinariness.
In the distance, Huaxu stepped on giant footprints and gave birth to Fuxi. At night, when he was attached to Bao's family, he admired the moon and saw a silver snake circling the seven stars. Thunder entered his stomach and gave birth to Xuanyuan.
Later, there was a celestial bird that descended and gave birth to the Shang Dynasty. The phoenix cried in Xiqi, and King Wu of Zhou attacked King Zhou!
Now, in the Great Han Dynasty, there was even Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, who stood on the seven stars and killed the white snake to rise up and become the son of the Red Emperor.
These myths and legends about the Son of Heaven and the Human Emperor were all related to ghosts and gods.
As for whether the legend was true or false?
There was no need to doubt this at all. In any case, Xu Yan would not believe a single word.
The reason was very simple. If these emperors were the reincarnation of ghosts and gods, how could they be reduced to dust in less than a hundred years?
Especially Red Emperor's son, Liu Bang.
If he was really that awesome.
How could he have been pressed to the ground by Xiang Yu time and time again during the period of Chu and Han's struggle for hegemony, and finally died of illness in the army?
If this was all the Ghost Deity had.
Xu Yan felt that there was no need to sacrifice such a ghost. He could just send someone to capture it and dissect it.
As the emperor, Liu Che was naturally not stupid.
He had denied the existence of ghosts and gods without thinking before because he had vaguely sensed the threat of ghosts and gods.
It was not a threat to his own life, but a huge threat to the imperial power of the emperor.
However, he could only vaguely sense this threat and could not be sure where it came from.
Now, he heard Xu Yan's further explanation.
Liu Che completely understood where this threat came from.
F * ck!
Almost all of these founding emperors and rebels were using the name of ghosts and gods to overthrow the rule of the imperial court!
Of course, if Liu Bang did this, Liu Che would definitely think that his ancestor was awesome and had ideas.
However, it was the Liu family who was the ruler now.
The next person who wanted to use the name of ghosts and gods to rebel would be the Great Han Dynasty.
How could he tolerate this?
Liu Che even thought from another angle.
If everyone in the world knew that there were no ghosts and gods in the world.
Would Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebel so easily?
The answer was no.
Without the mysterious aura of ghosts and gods, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were just laborers. How could they have such great appeal?
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were not the only ones.
Even his ancestor Liu Bang, King Wu Ji Fa, and Shang Tang could not do so.
The reason was simple.
This was because overthrowing the Qin Dynasty was the righteous cause of the world, and the name of the ghosts and gods was the destiny of a person.
If there was only the righteousness of the world and no personal destiny, how could he attract the heroes and commoners to join his camp?
For the sake of the world.
They could all rely on the powerful Xiang Yu.
After understanding the cause and effect connection, Liu Che's belief in denying the existence of ghosts and gods became stronger.
He bowed slightly to Xu Yan and thanked him,""Thank you for your guidance, sir.”
There was a saying that a dragon slayer would eventually become an evil dragon!
The existence of these ghosts and gods was definitely a good thing for those who had ulterior motives.
However, for the emperor of the Han Dynasty, that was not a good thing.
Instead, it was a huge threat.
Therefore, ghosts and gods would not exist, and could not exist.
Xu Yan shook his head and sighed.""No, you don't understand!"
"The theory of ghosts and gods has been around for a long time. It can be said to be an important belief of the people at the bottom. How can its existence be easily confirmed or denied?”
"For example, if there is a great drought, the people will pray to the Dragon God for rain.”
"Whether or not the Dragon God really exists, whether or not it can rain, we don't have to talk about it for now.”
"I only said that if the Dragon God didn't exist, what would happen if the people encountered natural disasters, droughts, and storms?”
"Are you in a state of panic all day long, or are you desperate and desperate to change?”
"Belief is not just blind worship of a god, but also a kind of spiritual support.”
"If you want to deny the belief in ghosts and gods, then you must find another solid and reliable spiritual support for everyone. Otherwise, there will be endless trouble!”
The people's belief in ghosts and gods.
Especially when it was so easy to deny.
Not to mention the ancient world where ghosts and gods were prevalent.
Even in the 21st century scientific world where Xu Yan lived in his previous life, the theory of ghosts and gods was still prevalent and difficult to completely eradicate.
To put it bluntly.
It wasn't that the world really believed in the existence of ghosts and gods, but that they were looking for a spiritual support for themselves.
When Liu Che heard Xu Yan's description, he couldn't help but think of the world's drought, the people's fear, and the chaos and mobs.
This made him break out in cold sweat.
The consequences of this would be even more terrifying than the last years of the dynasty, when someone with ulterior motives used ghosts and gods to rebel.
For a time, not to mention Liu Che, this young emperor.
Even Dongfang Shuo, who was known for his quick-wittedness, was frowning and thinking hard, not knowing how to solve this problem.
Of course, Liu Che didn't care about Dongfang Shuo's reaction.
After his thoughts failed, he stood up and bowed to Xu Yan. He asked,""Teacher, please teach me!"
