"Although the word politics is simple, it is not easy to truly understand politics.”
"'Government' is mainly the political power, government, army, palace, prison, and other official political organizations and political institutions.”
"'Rule' refers to laws, systems, policies, and actions based on these, including military, diplomatic, political, economic, and other aspects.”
"In addition, politics also includes political systems, political institutions, political ideology, military, law, economy, culture, and many other aspects.”
“…………”
In Xu Yan's opinion, politics was undoubtedly a very boring subject.
Moreover, the difference between politics and other disciplines was that politics was built on other disciplines and was inextricably linked to other disciplines.
Therefore, if one wanted to learn politics well, one must have a certain understanding of military, law, economics, culture, civil affairs, and many other subjects.
This subject had another name in ancient times.
That was…the Imperial Academy!
Thus, even though political science was boring, Liu Che, as the monarch of a country, still listened with great interest.
Of course, this could also be related to Xu Yan's teaching method.
After all, Xu Yan did not use obscure language to teach Liu Che like the other scholars of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy. Instead, he used simple and easy to understand language to teach Liu Che politics. He would also use relevant cases to explain the teaching process.
Even the book," The Study of Physics and Political Affairs ", was written in the vernacular, and it was divided into sections with punctuations.
Therefore, from Xu Yan's point of view, his political science teaching process was rather boring.
However, from Liu Che's point of view, as well as the education environment of this era.
Xu Yan's teaching method was already very interesting.
The reason was simple.
Because no matter how boring Xu Yan's political science was, it was better than giving you a classical Chinese ancient book without any punctuations and letting you figure it out by yourself.
One of them was teaching seriously while the other was learning seriously!
Unknowingly, the morning passed.
…………
At noon, the imperial palace's meal ended!
"Is Master Xu really confident in exposing the necromancer's scam?" Liu Che asked worriedly. If not, he would just treat it as watching an alchemist's immortal technique performance.”
The political class in the morning gave Liu Che a feeling that he had not had enough.
As a result, he no longer had any interest in the necromancer's immortal skills, and he did not want Xu Yan's reputation to be damaged because of the necromancer's immortal skills.
After all, in Liu Che's opinion, although Xu Yan was a great talent and a pedant, he was still a human, not a god.
There were many kinds of immortal techniques of necromancers. Even if they were really deception, it was very difficult to expose them all.
Of course, this was also because Liu Che treated Xu Yan as one of his own. Otherwise, he would definitely not stand from Xu Yan's point of view and consider for Xu Yan.
Xu Yan smiled." It's fine. It's just a little trick. Your Majesty, you don't have to care."”
In his previous life, Xu Yan was also a fan of ancient magic and modern magic. He had a good understanding of ancient immortal magic.
Therefore, he did not think that the little tricks of the necromancers of this era could fool him.
In addition, the reason why he insisted on exposing the necromancer's immortal magic scam was also related to the obsession of seeking immortality and believing in ghosts and gods in the later period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there were many events that had a huge impact on the necromancers and immortals.
The one with the greatest impact was naturally the curse of witchcraft.
The curse of witchcraft was a major political event in the later period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Witchcraft was a type of witchcraft.
At that time, people believed that if a wizard was sacrificed or a puppet was buried underground, the cursed person would suffer disaster.
In the second year of Zhenghe (91 B.C.), Gongsun Jingsheng, the son of Prime Minister Gongsun He, was accused of committing adultery with Princess Yangshi.
Gongsun He and his son died in prison, and the princesses of each city, Princess Yangshi and Wei Qing's son, Marquis Wei of Changping, were all killed.
Emperor Wu's favorite minister Jiang Chong was ordered to investigate the case of witchcraft. He used torture and framing to force people to confess. The ministers and people were frightened and randomly accused others of committing crimes. Tens of thousands of people died because of this.
Jiang Chong and Prince Liu Ju had a feud, so he took the opportunity to frame the Prince. The Prince was afraid and killed Jiang Chong. Later, he was suppressed by Emperor Wu and defeated. Empress Wei Zifu and Prince Liu Ju committed suicide one after another. The Wei family was cleansed.
Later, the three elders of Huguan, Tian Qianqiu, and the others wrote a letter to complain about the Crown Prince's injustice. When Emperor Wu woke up, he killed the three clans of Jiang Chong and burned Su Wen to death. He also built a "Missing Palace" and built a "Return Meditation Platform" at the place where the Crown Prince was killed to express his grief.
This incident implicated hundreds of thousands of people, tens of thousands of casualties, history said the disaster of witchcraft.
Other than that, there was also the case of Empress Chen being deposed, the case of the Dew Receiving Plate, the case of Li Shaoweng summoning the soul, the case of Luan Da's alchemy, the case of Penglai seeking immortality, and so on.
The influence of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the pursuit of immortality and the immortal techniques of alchemists was unprecedented. The harm and influence were even greater than that of Emperor Shi of Qin.
Of course, there was a deep political color to the Witch's Curse.
However, Luan Da's alchemy incident truly described Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's obsession and belief in the immortal arts of alchemists.
Luan Da was the Shangfang in the palace of Liu Ji, King of Jiaodong during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He was tall and handsome. He studied alchemy with the same teacher as General Li Shaoweng of Wencheng.
Later, he was recommended by Ding Yi, Marquis of Lecheng, to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu thought that Luan Da could communicate with immortals and entrusted him with an important task.
In the spring of the fourth year of Yuanding, the Yellow River burst and the people suffered greatly.
An alchemist, Luan Da, wrote,"I often travel to the sea and meet immortals like An Qisheng and Xianmen Gao."
They didn't believe me because of my lowly status.
He also thought that King Kang was just a vassal and was not enough to teach him immortal magic.
I've told King Kang many times, but King Kang didn't adopt my words.
My master said,'Gold can be refined, the crevasse of the river can be blocked, the elixir of immortality can be obtained, and immortals can be attracted.'
However, I'm afraid that if I follow the old path of Wen Cheng and die, the alchemists will cover their mouths and not speak. How can they dare to talk about alchemy again?”
Emperor Wu Liu Che believed him deeply. He first granted him the title of General Wuli, then granted him the title of General Tianshi, General Dishi, General Datong, General Tiandao, and finally granted him the title of Marquis Letong, wearing six seals, noble and shocking the world.
In order to let Luan Da refine gold in peace, Emperor Wu Liu Che even married his eldest daughter, the widowed Princess Wei, to him. He gave his daughter 100,000 taels of gold as a dowry, changed the name of Tang Muyi to Dangli, and held a grand wedding for the two.
Later, Emperor Wu found that many of Luan Da's magic skills were not effective, and Luan Da could not communicate with ghosts and gods.
The Emperor's trust was exchanged for deception and miscalculation, which even delayed the Eldest Princess. Therefore, the angry Emperor Wu directly cut Luan Da in half. Even Luan Da's recommendation, Lecheng Hou Dingyi, was also convicted of treason. He was abandoned and the marquis kingdom was removed.
Let's not talk about anything else for now.
However, from the incident of Luan Da's alchemy, Xu Yan knew how obsessed Liu Che was with ghosts and gods and the immortal techniques of alchemists.
The wise Emperor Wu of Han had been fooled by a swindler.
Therefore, Liu Che would no longer be superstitious about ghosts and gods and obsessed with alchemists and immortals.
In order to prevent the Great Han from being irreparably affected by ghosts and necromancers.
Xu Yan immediately made up his mind to expose the lie of the theory of ghosts and gods and the necromancer's immortal technique, and to nip the future disaster that would happen to the Han Dynasty because of the theory of ghosts and gods and the necromancer's immortal technique in the bud.
Of course, this was not the most important thing.
Most importantly…science and superstition were opposites.
If he did not get rid of the superstitious old ideas of ghosts and gods and alchemists, how could his theory of investigating things flourish?
A good stepping stone was already at Xu Yan's feet.
If he still could not step on his way to the top, then he would not be Xu Yan, who was determined to promote the study of things.
I hope everyone will support my new book and give the author some motivation to write!
