After listening to the report of the yamen runners, Li Xingzhou fell into deep thought.

"It's just a trivial matter. Your subordinate named Di Zhi is really ignorant. It's a good thing. The more the people believe in you, the easier it is to dispatch it, right? Even if you let them die, they will go." Qi Fang smiled and said seriously after laughing.

After a conversation, her position obviously changed. Although she didn't understand it, she was as smart as she must have understood it. There is no need to speak too thoroughly when talking to smart people.

Li Xingzhou smiled and felt helpless: "Yes, it is indeed a small matter now, but if you talk about it in the long run, it is not a small matter."

Qi Fang frowned, not understanding what he meant: "Why, the prince's words are always slight, and it feels uncomfortable to listen."

"Do you think I look like a god?" Li Xingzhou asked suddenly.

Qi Fang was stunned by his question, and quickly avoided his gaze: "Of course it doesn't look like it."

Li Xingzhou nodded with relief: "Fortunately, you are normal, and you know that people cannot be like gods. The more people look like gods, the more ignorant the people are, the more ignorant the people are, and the less motivation for social progress."

Qi Fang was even more confused now.

Li Xingzhou did not explain and brought the sword he placed next to the desk, "I'll go out and have a look. You go and bring that universal immortal, you won't be killed by you."

"Of course not, the prince is me." Qi Fang said, and then went to execute the order.

What Li Xingzhou was worried about still happened. This was a trivial matter, but he had to deal with it carefully and seriously.

Because this is different from everything in the past, it seems small but has a profound impact.

He comes from the future and has a lot of experience and knowledge. He is keen and can naturally understand the significance of this.

Li Xingzhou once didn't want to touch on those deeper things, try to adapt to and integrate into this era, and try not to confront the times.

Because he has self-knowledge, he is not a powerful figure like Confucius, Jesus, and Newton, and it is impossible for him to change people's ideas and the world with his own strength.

However, no matter how careful he is, conflict is still inevitable. To put it bluntly, he is Li Xingzhou, the prince of Prince Xiao, and Li Xingzhou, who is also from a thousand years later. He lets him go with the flow, completely adapt, and lose himself. He cannot do it and will not sit idly by.

It is naturally a good thing for the people to trust and respect him, and he is even a little complacent, but as a later generation, he has learned thousands of years of historical lessons and he understands that it is very dangerous to engage in personality cults.

On the surface, man is not a god. As long as he is a man, he will make mistakes in the end, and he is no exception.

Personality worship is equivalent to having no amendments, completely handing over decision-making and execution rights to one person, and blindly following and giving up thinking is very irrational and unscientific.

The most important thing is that specific people cannot be worshipped as God! This has too many historical lessons and has more profound significance.

When people worship a specific person as God, it is also the beginning of fooling people.

God, heaven, earth, country and so on in the East and West faith.

God is omniscient and omnipotent, and cannot be referred to by someone who is specific.

The same is true for the concept of heaven and earth. In ancient times, the emperor was the son of heaven and was called the emperor, but it could not represent the heaven. A ceremony for worshiping heaven was held every year to pray for blessings from heaven, and the emperor must preside over it personally.

The country refers to the land god and the grain god. In different terms, "She" is the earth god and "Ji" is the grain god.

Whether it is God, heaven, earth, or country, they are all illusory and have no specific people to represent. This has important and far-reaching significance for human development.

Some people will say what the use of faith is? It is nothing more than a belief bonus, fooling the people, making brainwashed people not afraid of death, etc.

This makes some sense, but it is also superficial.

Today, the US president still knows how to touch the Bible when he takes office. But some people have ever thought that the US president believes in God? When human technology develops to that extent, as the president of the world's number one technological power, will he not understand that there is no God in the world?

But even so, he would still touch the Bible and take a swearing, because only in this way can he have a basis for pursuing equality.

The basis is "Everyone is equal before God."

The same is true for heaven, earth, and the country. Only in front of the illusory gods can people pursue equality, and everyone's pursuit of being unsatisfied with the status quo is the driving force for human progress.

He could not say that everyone is equal before the president, because in this way, he admitted that the president is superior and has denied equality.

Just like kings, princes, generals and ministers, it would be better to have a seed. On the contrary, when someone is worshipped as a god, the people have actually subconsciously given up their pursuit of equality, but they have not realized it.

When people are worshipped as God, it is itself a testament to people being born unequal, some are God and some are humans.

Therefore, when you first see the cult of personality, you are very good. The people obey one call, follow one order, work together, think together, and have a high degree of centralization.

But in fact, it has invisibly killed the internal driving force of social progress!

Over time, the whole society will inevitably become absurd, lifeless, the people will lose their motivation, the country will no longer make progress, and life will be without passion, like a walking corpse.

This is what Li Xingzhou is most worried about. This trend must not be encouraged, even if he believes in him, it will not work!

He would not have been against the times before, but this time, he had to resist the torrent of the times.

When Li Xingzhou came to the lobby of the yamen, more than a dozen yamen runners were already there to maintain order. The marquis outside the gate were crowded with people, and there were crowds of people. If the yamen runners had stopped him, they would have squeezed in.

Seeing him coming, the yamen runner hurriedly sang a loud voice: "The King of Pingnan is here~"

With a sound, the people knelt down and bowed to the ground.

Li Xingzhou walked out of the back hall and did not sit in the lobby. Di Zhi stood aside and bowed to him when he saw him.

Kneeling in the middle of the court was a thin man with a high forehead and thin eyes. A clay statue was placed beside him, with yellow paper sticking on it, which read "King of Pingnan, General Thunder God, has immeasurable merits."

When he saw Li Xingzhou, he kept kowtowing, and the floor was pounding. Li Xingzhou asked everyone to avoid the gifts, and the people stood up, but the thin man was still kowtowing.

During sacrifices, people would burn white paper and yellow paper, and ordinary people thought it was all dead money.

But in fact, white paper and yellow paper have completely different meanings. In Taoism, white paper is indeed money for dead people and burns them for dead people. However, yellow paper is used to bribe ghosts and gods. When sacrificing to heaven and earth, the emperor will burn yellow paper instead of white paper.

This man wrote his name on yellow paper, meaning that Li Xingzhou was with God, respected with God, and was worshipped by the world.

"Is he the one who caused the trouble?" Li Xingzhou asked Di Zhi next to him in a low voice.

Di Zhi was stunned and nodded quickly: "Yes, please forgive me. The emperor did not intend to do so. He just felt that Luzhou had a new victory and the overall situation was not determined. He was so arrogant and advocated freely, afraid that this wind would grow a storm. Since ancient times, arrogant soldiers would be defeated, and they were anxious."

Li Xingzhou smiled and said, "No, you did a good job, it's not worth it. I'm optimistic about you."

Di Zhi was stunned. He probably didn't expect that Li Xingzhou not only did not blame him, but instead praised him and quickly bowed his gratitude.

Of course Li Xingzhou was happy. After the victory, Qi Rui, Qi Fang, and even Yan Shen were a little fluttered.

Unexpectedly, Di Zhi was still so calm. He was so calm that he had a clear idea and a big picture view. He understood that this battle was just a first victory and could not determine the real outcome. Such a person could be reused.

"Okay, stop kidding." Li Xingcheon said.

The thin man shook his head: "This is not possible. The greatest ritual to worship mortals is to bow three times and kowtow nine times. Now that the villain saw General Thunder God, he was a man from heaven. Three times and nine times are not enough. He had to bow six times and eighteen times and kowtowtowed heads." He spoke seriously, his tone seemed to be honest, and as if he was a child's words were unrestrained.

As soon as the words came out, the people watching outside the yamen laughed and started to cheer and said it right. The thin man worshiped even more vigorously.

Li Xingzhou smiled, which made him look honest, but his eyes turned slightly when he spoke, which showed that he did this on purpose. When he finished kneeling, he asked, "You are the general of Thunder God, why?"

Speaking of this, his eyes shone and he hurriedly said excitedly: "Everyone was present that night, and the rebel camp was filled with thunder, and then the rebels fled everywhere. Everyone was just a farmer, mud-legged, and there was no ability to beat the rebels. It must be the prince who brought the heavenly thunder to help and repel the rebels. The prince must be the Thunder God, right!"

After he said that, the people applauded and all agreed to support him.
