Chapter 2009

In fact, there are very few rulers with IQ problems. There are only four emperors in history who have been confirmed to have IQ problems: Sima Zhong, the Emperor Hui of Jin, was the second son of Sima Yan, the founding emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty. Because his elder brother died early, he became the eldest son and finally became the second emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty, reigning for 17 years. Emperor Hui of Jin was demented and incompetent. At first, Taifu Yang Jun assisted in the administration, but later Empress Jia Nanfeng killed Yang Jun and took control of the power. One year there was a famine, and the people had no food to eat, and people starved to death everywhere. Someone reported the situation to Sima Zhong, but Sima Zhong said to the reporter: "If there is no food to eat, why don't they eat meat porridge?" The reporter heard it and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The victims couldn't even eat food, so where did the meat porridge come from? This shows how stupid and confused Sima Zhong was. He also made a lot of jokes. During his reign, he caused the Eight Kings Rebellion, which weakened the power of the Western Jin Dynasty and eventually led to the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty. If Sima Zhong was a normal person, the Western Jin Dynasty would not have perished.

The second one is still from the Sima family, Emperor An of Jin Sima Dezong. There was an idiot emperor in the Western Jin Dynasty, and there was one in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was Emperor An of Jin Sima Dezong, who was the eldest son of Emperor Xiaowu of Jin Sima Yao. On the 12th year of Taiyuan, on the 15th day of the eighth month, Sima Dezong was made the crown prince. Emperor An was stupid and not good at speaking. According to the "Book of Jin·Emperor Records 10", he could not even distinguish between winter and summer. Therefore, after Emperor An ascended the throne, the power of the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty declined greatly. Many generals outside the court actually established themselves and did not obey the orders of the monarch. The power inside the court also fell into the hands of ministers. In the early days of Emperor An, the court policy was mainly presided over by Sima Daozi, King of Kuaiji, and his son Sima Yuanxian. After Sima Dezong ascended the throne, civil strife broke out frequently, the country was declining, the Sun En uprising broke out, and finally Huan Xuan usurped the throne. Later, Liu Yu rescued Jiankang, but Liu Yu was also ambitious and eventually usurped the throne of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. (I don't know if it's because the Sima family has done too many evil things, but their family members are very prone to problems, either stupid or crazy)

The third one is Tang Shunzong Li Song, the eldest son of Tang Dezong and the tenth emperor of the Tang Dynasty. After Tang Dezong ascended the throne, Li Song was promoted to King Xuan and was appointed as the crown prince. He served as the crown prince for a total of 26 years. Li Song was kind, filial, generous, benevolent and good at making decisions. He dabbled in various arts and was good at official script. He once organized the victory of the "Fengtian Defense War". In September of the 20th year of Zhenyuan (804), Li Song suddenly suffered a stroke and lost his speech function, becoming mute and stupid. Since he had been appointed as the crown prince, he had to be allowed to ascend the throne. In 805, when Dezong died, he officially succeeded to the throne. After ascending the throne, he appointed Wang Shuwen and others to reform the law, which violated the interests of eunuchs and Jiedushi. He was forced to abdicate to the crown prince Li Chun and called himself the emperor. He died the following year.

This one is a pity. He was originally very smart, but he just had a stroke... It seems that the old Li family all have this problem. Many royal family members died of stroke.

The fourth emperor, Song Duzong Zhao Yu, was the sixth emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty. He was the nephew of Song Lizong Zhao Yun and the son of Rong Wang Zhao Yurui. Because Song Lizong had no son, Zhao Yu was adopted as an adopted son and trained as the heir to the throne. Zhao Yu was born to a concubine. When his mother was pregnant with him, his mother was forced by the main wife to take abortion pills. In the end, she did not abort the baby and gave birth to the baby smoothly. Unfortunately, he was stimulated by the medicine. He was born weak, his hands and feet were weak, he could not walk until very late, and he could not talk until he was seven years old. His intelligence was lower than normal. Song Lizong equipped him with a good teacher and taught him carefully, but he still could not make him open up. Some ministers advised the emperor to change the heir, but the ministers who dared to speak were demoted to the local area by the powerful minister Jia Sidao, so no one dared to speak. On the sixth day of the sixth month of the first year of Jingding (1260), he was established as the crown prince. When he ascended the throne, the northern Mongolian army marched southward in large numbers. When the country was in crisis, he handed over the military and state power to Jia Sidao, which made the beautiful country of the Southern Song Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River dark and dark. The Southern Song Dynasty was getting worse day by day. Zhao Xie reigned for 10 years and died in Lin'an in 1274 at the age of 35. These emperors with low IQs were born in the imperial family and sat on the throne. They were not normal people, so they could not handle the government affairs reasonably, so they were controlled by the powerful officials at that time. As a result, the country declined day by day. God opened a door for them, but closed a window for them.

Except for these four, even the most foolish emperors had no problem with IQ in essence!

Again, the reason why you think those emperors at the end of the dynasty are stupid is that extreme power leads to absolute stupidity.

No matter how powerful the emperor is, he is just one person. He basically does not leave the palace. He relies on a huge bureaucratic group to govern the world! This led to the emperor not knowing what the world was like, and he could only rely on the officials below to tell him.

So many emperors didn't know that their world was going to end until the world was in turmoil.

Before, he heard that the world was peaceful, the rivers and seas were clear, and there was singing and dancing. All his decisions were made based on information given by others. If the information is wrong, it is impossible for the decision to be correct! So the decisions made by those emperors are simply stupid in the eyes of later generations!

The same is true for Zeus and others.

They are gods, but the problem is that this god is not the god that everyone imagines after reading mythology. They are indeed powerful, but they are not omniscient and omnipotent. They can't even know astronomy and geography. It can be said that they are powerful people!

In this case, it is not uncommon to be deceived and make wrong decisions.

Some things Thoth sees clearly, but Zeus and other gods may not!

Or they are afraid of any change at all!

Because they are vested interests, even if they know that if they don't change, they will be finished, they are unwilling to let their interests be damaged.

Some people refuse to change because of attribution problems and cannot take on the responsibilities they should deal with; some people cannot change and procrastinate because of insufficient motivation and lack of interest in the changes they should make, and the performance is to give up; some people do not change because of insufficient energy and insufficient energy; and some people cannot change because they cannot overcome their inner fear. No one is willing to admit that they are responsible for the current bad life. It seems that most people want the world to change, and few people think that it is themselves who need to change. In the minds of those who dare not take responsibility, they are always the innocent victims, like people abandoned by fate, and can never get rid of the identity of tragic victims of environmental persecution. They believe that in this world, the root cause of all the misfortunes they suffer are external factors, and all they can do is to helplessly bear the reality.

For example, I used to attribute my failure to my family environment and my parents' education problems, so I know that it is too simple to find other people's problems and faults, after all, no one is perfect. There is only the question of whether you want to find faults, and there is absolutely no question of whether you can find faults.

There is also a kind of inability to change, which comes from the fear in your heart.

The so-called fear is a state of mind that is at a loss when facing "harm" and "unknown".

Zeus is the same. He doesn't like Asgard, and he doesn't want Asgard to come back and compete with them for the right to speak. The key is that he is not sure whether he can beat Asgard... Maybe deep down, he knows that he can't beat Asgard, so the best way is to escape!

Resist Asgard, even to the extent of allergy.

He will overreact when he hears the word Asgard.

So Thoth proposed to unite with Asgard, but Zeus reacted very strongly, but others were willing to give it a try, so there was that Pantheon's envoy to Asgard, and Thor's performance made Zeus ecstatic, and he had more reason to resist Asgard!

"Do you think I didn't say that? But those people didn't listen to me at all. It's so stupid!"

Thoth drank a large glass of wine and started complaining!

Trying to change others according to your expectations often ends in failure. Wanting to change the environment or change others is the source of pain. Everyone knows how difficult it is to change themselves, so where does the confidence come from to change others? A person always seems to have excessive self-confidence and thinks he has the superpower to change others.

Thoth can't even change himself, but he expects others to change according to his expectations. He thinks too much.

"Okay, don't talk about Zeus and those people. Anyway, you can't change him, and it's useless to say more." Kai was too lazy to comfort Thoth. This guy is like an untrusted counselor who can only express that he is right by denigrating his lord... a bit like Tian Feng.

Tian Feng is not a good counselor at all.

What should a good counselor be like?

Raise questions and then make suggestions based on the questions. This is the basic skill... because there are not many smart people in this world, but there are definitely not a few.

Tian Feng and Thoth are both such people. They can see the problem and give reasonable suggestions.

But they forget that the most important thing for a counselor is to make your lord accept your suggestions!

Tian Feng, if you don't listen to me, I will be angry with you! He felt that this would force his lord to listen to him. He thought he was upright and outspoken, but in fact he pushed himself to the opposite side of his lord. In this case, if the lord can listen to you in a good tone, then he must be a softie!

Look at what Xun Yu did. Others also gave suggestions, but they would give them in a roundabout way, in a good tone, and with reason and evidence!

So Cao Cao was willing to listen to him!

What is the most important thing for a counselor? Of course, his own suggestions can be adopted by the lord, so that there is a possibility of success.

You can't even get past the first step, and the lord doesn't listen to you. What kind of counselor are you?

Even if you are smarter than Zhuge Liang, it's useless.

So Tot can only mutter here.

"Tell me about the Eternal Altar? What is that thing?"

Thoth put down his wine glass when he heard Kai's question, and then cursed: "Otherwise, Zeus and his people are stupid! They can even give the secret of the Eternal Altar to Ger! What's the difference between this and handing a knife to the enemy!"

Kai looked at Thoth seriously and told him to stop talking nonsense!

Thoth had no choice but to talk about this thing.

In fact, the Eternal Altar has always been the biggest secret of the Pantheon. As a result, Zeus has given the secret to his enemy now. What's the harm if he tells his friend about it?

Eternal Altar.

As the name suggests, it is an altar. As for who built it and who used it, there is no way to know. The universe is huge and its history is even longer.

At least the Protoss has no way to explore the secrets buried by time.

In short, that thing is there.

The gods of the Pantheon discovered it.

As for eternity, according to their research, it was the gods who were born when the universe was first born, along with the birth of the universe.

At the same time, four cosmic gods also appeared. These four gods are: Eternity, Infinity, Death, and Annihilation. These four abstract entities call each other brothers and sisters. (The nature of this relationship is a personification of abstract concepts. They are not blood relations like any traditional human family.)

Eternity is the physical incarnation of the multiverse. The eternity in each single universe is just a cell of the multiverse eternity. Eternity can communicate with eternity beyond the physical field and the single universe and obtain any information in the universe, and even merge.

As an abstract entity, eternity has no physical properties, so what people see and hear is just a reflection of its basic concept of existence. Attacking eternity is equivalent to fighting with one's own ideas.

It is said that he can control and change everything in the real universe!

Yes, everything!

All impossibilities are nothing to him.

He is the real universe itself!

And that altar is used to communicate with this great god!

The gods have also tried to communicate, but unfortunately... everyone who did so got what they wanted and paid a price.

Eternity is fair. You can have whatever you want, but you have to pay a price.

There was a god who made a wish for his eternal immortality to eternity.

Eternity satisfied him!

He became an indestructible statue, standing in the altar. But he is just a statue.

There was a god who hoped to gain the most powerful power.

Then he became part of the universe. Never appeared again.

A god wanted to have his own child.

Then his child was born, and he was destroyed!

Eternity is very generous, he will respond to all wishes! But definitely not in the way you imagine!

So the gods sealed that place.

And put the path to there in the Rainbow Bridge!

Only the Rainbow Bridge can reach there in the entire universe!

"I know what Zeus thinks, he just wants Gel to seek his own death. After all, eternity is not something that mortals can touch." Thoth said worriedly: "They still look at Gel with the old eyes, despising him as a lowly mortal... But, how many of our compatriots have been slaughtered by such a mortal, can't they see it? Do they really think that mortals really can't touch eternity?"
