Chapter 880 Why Would the Gods Want to Snatch My Treasures! A Sacrificial Activity with the Characteristics of the Qin Dynasty!

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's eyes also lit up: "Brother!"

Ying Zheng responded with a gentle smile and said in a broad voice: "What brother Wang said is actually what I think."

"Since the heaven and earth have the virtue of good life, why would they take pleasure in killing the beautiful creatures of all peoples?"

"Every time I think about this, I feel confused."

"Now that Brother Wang has finally clarified the confusion, it finally dawns on me!"

Although the Qin Dynasty has always liked to use human sacrifices, Ying Zheng 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, "Your Majesty!"

"To offer sacrifices to living people is to send the souls of all peoples to the side of the gods of heaven and earth to serve them according to the ritual of sacrifice."

"Therefore, the heaven and the earth do not rejoice because they kill the beautiful souls of all peoples, but rejoice because they have the beautiful souls of all peoples serving them!"

"What I am doing is definitely not to kill the beautiful people of all people, but to send the beautiful people of all people to the side of the gods according to the ritual of sacrifice!"

"This is a great joy for our country, the gods of heaven and earth, and for the people being sacrificed."

"If we don't sacrifice living people, and the gods of heaven and earth don't have the beautiful souls of all peoples sent by me from Great Qin to serve, then the gods of heaven and earth will unleash their wrath!"

"If we, the Qin Dynasty, had not sent us 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!"

From the perspective of Da Qin's sacrificial logic, using human beings for sacrifice is a very romantic thing, and those 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 could not convince Ying Zheng.

Because Ying Zheng's aversion to human sacrifice has nothing to do with beautiful qualities such as empathy, kindness, and compassion.

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, we need brave and loyal men to serve as generals, 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 when Ying Zheng was about to open his mouth to refute, Ying Chengyu said in a deep voice: "Brother's concerns are actually justified!"

"Just as local officials serve as herdsmen on behalf of the king, how can the king be happy when officials kill his subjects and then sacrifice their wealth?"

"If the king wants to summon beautiful girls and talented people to accompany him, he only needs a royal order."

"The Emperor is a person who represents the herdsmen of Heaven. How can heaven and earth rejoice because the Emperor slaughters Li Shu and then sacrifices Li Shu's soul?"

“If heaven and earth want to call people to accompany them, all it takes is a ray of divine will.”

Ying Chengyu looked at Ying Huan and asked in a deep voice: "Do you think that there is no such thing in the world?"

Ying Huan and other ministers hurriedly handed over their hands: "The power of heaven and earth is unfathomable!"

Ying Chengxuan asked again in a louder voice: "The ten thousand peoples are the ten thousand peoples of heaven and earth, not the ten thousand peoples of my Great Qin!"

"You decide the life and death of all 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 can neither please the non-existent immortal gods of heaven and earth, nor can 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 Son of Heaven is only the 'herder' of the people on behalf of Heaven, not the owner of all peoples. This is something that 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 gave the lamb's hind leg kneecap to the herdsmen. It’s as absurd and ridiculous as playing Galaha!

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 lost his voice and murmured: "Could it be that our sacrificial methods have been wrong?!"

Ying Chengyu said matter-of-factly: "What a big mistake!"

"Otherwise, why are you so sincere in offering sacrifices, yet the gods of heaven and earth have never given you any gifts?"

Ying Chengyu increased his voice and said, "All the gods in heaven and earth hate this method of sacrifice!"

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 Chengyu said in a solemn voice: "None of the gods of heaven and earth like human sacrifice!"

"Anyone who likes to sacrifice human beings is an evil deity who is not the official one of heaven and earth."

"Kill him!"

Ying Chengyu's determined attitude was irrefutable.

The various miracles that Ying Chengyu had performed made all the regular 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 thought that the way of sacrifice that I have believed in all my life would not only fail to please the gods of heaven and earth, but would actually cause them to dislike me!"

"This official is actually a sinner of the Qin Dynasty!"

Taking a step back, Ying Huan bowed his hands and said, "Great Qin is lucky to have Lord Chang'an!"

"I will adjust the sacrificial rituals of our Great Qin according to what Chang'an Jun said, and will cancel all the rituals of sacrificing living people."

"All the subordinates of Fengchang Yamen will report the sacrifices to the gods of heaven and earth, and ask the gods of heaven and earth to only punish us, not the Great Qin."

"I beg Chang'an Jun to give more guidance, so that we will not make such sacrifices that disgust the gods of heaven and earth in the future!"

Ying Chengjiao also bowed solemnly in return: "As a feudal lord of the Great Qin, I will do my best to help Qin!"

"You don't have to worry too much, just go and prepare first."

Ying Huan and others knew the opportunity to retreat, and just returned Ying Chengjiao, who looked like a charlatan, immediately smiled brightly at Ying Zheng: "Brother! In the future, there will be no more human sacrifices in our Great Qin."

"Are you happy?"

Ying Zheng did not smile, but said solemnly: "Brother, you have long wanted to issue a clear order to the world to cancel the human sacrifice."

"It's just that I am worried that this move may hurt my brother, so I hesitated until now."

"Brother, you should bear the cost yourself."

"Don't let your own thoughts ruin my brother's good impression in the hearts of the gods and immortals in heaven and earth!"

Ying Chengjiao was speechless when he heard this.

So it's my fault that Ying Zheng has not issued a clear order to the Great Qin not to allow human sacrifices?

Ying Chengjiao immediately dismissed his attendants, and then asked in a low voice: "Brother, do you think that I can understand ghosts and gods, understand heaven and earth, and have the grace of the earth?"

Ying Zheng asked with some doubt: "This is the fact, why do you believe it or not?"

"My brother has now made it clear to the world that I am a great witch. Do you still want me to pretend not to believe it?"

Ying Zheng's eyes clearly wrote a line of big words:

Don't pretend! You are the great witch!

Ying Chengjiao choked, and after a few breaths of silence, he nodded helplessly, powerlessly, speechlessly, and with a bit of self-abandonment: "Brother, you are 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, you are right!"

"My brother has been hiding for so long, and today he finally stops hiding and can show his strengths!"

"Brother, congratulations to my brother!"

The corners of Ying Chengjiao's mouth twitched, and he looked at Ying Zheng and said: "Thank you so much!"

Ying Zheng frowned slightly: "Brother, I always feel that there is something wrong with my brother's eyes."

If Ying Zheng is not mistaken, Ying Chengjiao's eyes are clearly looking at him like a fool!

And he is looking at a hopeless and terminally ill fool!

Ying Chengjiao immediately retorted: "You must be wrong!"

Then Ying Chengjiao quickly changed the subject and said: "In addition to canceling human sacrifices, do you have any other adjustments in the sacrifices?"

"Since I am offering sacrifices for the first time, you can speak frankly!"

Seeing Ying Chengjiao's sincere eyes and no embarrassment, Ying Zheng did not hesitate to be polite with Ying Chengjiao and said frankly: "The livestock and grains used in the sacrifices of our Great Qin have always been several times or even dozens of times that of Zhou."

"But our Great Qin is already exhausted, and every year's sacrifices are a heavy burden for our Great Qin!"

"Brother, you are willing to reduce the livestock and grains used in the sacrifices!"

Most of the other countries in the Zhou Dynasty used only twelve livestock as sacrifices, but the Great Qin sacrifices often used hundreds or thousands of livestock as sacrifices.

This is just the sacrifices used by the court to worship heaven and earth.

Including the offerings used for sacrifices in various local government offices, the number of livestock consumed by the Qin Dynasty for sacrifices every year is tens of thousands, including excellent war horses and strong oxen!

How could Ying Zheng not feel distressed!

Ying Zheng changed the subject and said: "But if reducing the livestock and grains used for sacrifices is not good for my brother, you can also add more sacrificial items!"

Ying Chengjiao thought for a while and shook his head and said: "I think that the things used for sacrifices can be changed, but they cannot be reduced. Instead, more sacrificial items can be added."

Ying Zheng's eyes showed understanding, and he nodded slowly: "Since my brother also said so, I think the reason why my Qin Dynasty is prosperous is really related to my Qin Dynasty's willingness to sacrifice for sacrifices."

"It turns out that my brother is shallow."

Ying Chengjiao shook his head again and said: "The reason why my Qin Dynasty is prosperous is related to sacrifices. Guan."

"I advise you to add more sacrificial objects because our Great Qin always sells sacrificial objects at a high price after the sacrifice."

"As long as a sheep goes through the altar and is slaughtered by the officials of Fengchang, it can be sold for at least the price of two sheep."

"This is just the price during ordinary sacrifices."

"The sheep slaughtered in the sacrifice presided over by my brother can be exchanged for at least three sheep, right?"

"How much wealth can our Great Qin court grab from this!"

"I think that as long as war horses and oxen are not included in the list of sacrificial livestock, the more livestock left, the better!"

Ying Zheng: Ah???

I thought that my brother added more sacrificial objects to please the gods of heaven and earth.

It turns out that my brother is making money in the name of sacrifice? ! !

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Chengjiao in amazement and said, "Such a solemn and sacred matter has become a business matter in your mouth?"

"Brother, you have never seen a sorcerer like you!"

Ying Chengjiao's eyes lit up and he looked at Ying Zheng and asked, "So, you think I am not a sorcerer?"

Ying Zheng shook his head slowly and said with emotion, "So, brother, you just know today that all the sorcerers you have seen are swindlers!"

Ying Chengjiao: (_)

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 can have a good discussion."

"We must formulate sacrificial activities with Daqin characteristics."

"Let the sacrifices be used by our great Qin!"
