Chapter 133: Four-legged Ding

Looking at Liu Rong who seemed a little surprised, Tang Sheng hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the minister has inquired clearly, and there is only this one Houtu Temple left by the pre-Qin Dynasty in the entire Fenyin County. It is said that it was built by the monarch of the Song Kingdom.

Originally, there was still some incense in the earth temple here, but I heard that the Fenshui rose sharply a few years ago, and the temple was flooded and washed away, and no one came here to worship it."

Hearing this, Liu Rong nodded, and then dismounted and walked with everyone to the front of the Houtu Temple.

Then Liu Rong and Liu Rong walked around the Houtu Temple, which had become a ruined wall.

Everyone present looked at each other, completely unaware of what Liu Rong was doing.

However, without waiting for everyone to ask, Liu Rong said: "I had a dream some time ago, and I dreamed that a white-haired old man wanted me to find a Houhou earth temple in Fenyin, but I don't know why? ”。

As soon as Liu Rong's words came out, Jia Yi felt that he seemed to have heard these words somewhere, and suddenly recalled the words of Emperor Xiaowen when he recalled himself from Liang State to Chang'an.

If there was no Liu Rong's sentence back then, "The old man who sang the song of the great wind said that Jia Yi can make the Han family prosperous" I don't know where to be depressed now.

Secretly said: "Could it be that Emperor Gao's dream is here again?" ”。

At this time, he saw Liu Rong and said: "This place is in the valley of the Fenyin River, and it can be regarded as a treasure land, so I can't say what heavy treasures are under the ground."

"Come on, quickly dig up all the surroundings of this Houtu Temple for me!"

Hearing this, the accompanying soldiers all looked at Tang Sheng, who was already stunned on the spot.

"Look at what I'm doing, why don't you dig it up!" As soon as Tang Sheng reacted, he scolded angrily.

"No! …… Promise! The soldiers were busy digging the earth.

However, these were all soldiers, not farmers, how could they carry the tools that could dig the soil when they traveled, and one by one they had to pull out the long sword at their waists and began to dig around this Houtu Temple.

Tang Sheng even approached Liu Rongzhi and asked with a drooping face, "Your Highness...... Your Highness, what is this doing? ”。

Liu Rong smiled and said, "General Tang will know later."

It seems that Liu Rong is unusually determined, but he thought that he was in a mess, and he was forced to pretend to go out, if he couldn't dig things up, everything would be over.

even whispered: "Sima Qian, don't lie to me!" If you can't dig something, I'll go back and I'll cure your father for the crime of Sima Tan!" ”。

In this way, until the evening, I heard that the soldiers on a small dirt slope on the east side of the Houtu Temple suddenly exploded.

Hearing the noise, Liu Rong was excited, digging it!

However, he still had to pretend to be calm and said to Tang Sheng: "General Tang quickly go and see why he is so noisy."

"No!" After finishing speaking, Tang Sheng saluted Liu Rong and hurriedly ran over.

However, after a while, Tang Sheng ran back out of breath, "Your Highness! There is indeed something dug up from the slope of the earth, please move and look at it."

When Liu Rong approached, he saw several soldiers surrounding the pit, which looked like a copper tripod and a foot in the pit, but its upper body was still buried in the soil.

Because it was winter, it was already dark in a long time, but the stars in the sky had already appeared.

Immediately, Liu Rong ordered people to light a campfire immediately, and then ordered the soldiers to light torches and continue digging it.

He even said to the soldier: "You must be careful not to hurt this underground artifact."

After more than an hour, the soldiers finally dug to the bottom, but everyone present had already seen that this was a four-legged copper tripod.

Seeing that it was a four-legged tripod, Liu Rong was sure that this tripod must have been deliberately buried here by the ancients.

Since the appearance of the tripod as the highest ritual vessel of sacrifice, there are two forms, one is a three-legged round tripod, and the other represents a four-legged square tripod. The three-legged tripod is known as the yang tripod, while the four-legged tripod is known as the yin tripod

In ancient times, the worldview of people believed that the sky was round and the earth was round, so the circle was used to symbolize the sky and the square was used to symbolize the earth. For this reason, people in ancient times used the three-legged tripod to worship the heavens, and the four-legged tripod was used to worship the earth.

Houtu is the earliest recognized god of the earth in China, and it is common sense to bury a four-legged square tripod for the purpose of sacrificing the earth.

Nearly a dozen soldiers carried the four-legged tripod out of this pit for half a day.

Liu Rong took the torch in the hand of a soldier and held it up in front of this tripod, and saw that there were more mountains and rivers textures and birds, beasts, fish and insects on this big tripod.

Seeing this, Liu Rong immediately threw away the torch in his hand, knelt on the ground and said: "The saint is out, the artifact has appeared, this must be the benevolence of the emperor of the father of the sky, and the manifestation of Emperor Gao guided me to find this tripod!" ”。

The emperor's eldest son, Liu Rong, found the artifact of this tripod through the dream of Emperor Gao, and it was spread out to the whole Han family.

All fathers in the world hope that their sons can be better than the blue, but although the Son of Heaven will also have this idea, but if there is a son who is favored by the ancestors and is even more capable, how can the Son of Heaven not be vigilant.

What emperors throughout the ages are afraid of is that they are afraid of something that is difficult for the emperor to control, not to mention that the prince has become difficult to control.

Solid this, even if Liu Rongdang patted the sycophants of his father, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, he was able to dig out this Baoding artifact, all because of his father's son Liu Qi and Liu Qirende, and Emperor Gao would dream that Liu Rong would find Baoding here.

At this time, Jia Yi, Zhi Du and Tang Sheng's jaws were about to fall.

Looking at Liu Rong's eyes, it seemed that they had changed.

There is a secret way in my heart: His Royal Highness must be the Emperor Degao in the spirit of heaven! No wonder the first emperor would favor this eldest grandson so much.

When they heard Liu Rong's words, these people naturally quickly knelt down and said: "The Son of Heaven is benevolent!" Ten thousand years of the Son of Heaven! ”。

…………………………………………………………………………

The next day, before dawn, the barracks where Liu Rong was stationed were brightly lit, and the soldiers in the entire big tent were in a hurry to load this tripod on a big car, because this tripod was too big, and it was difficult to fit the ordinary car.

Later, I had to remove the fence of a car to install this big tripod on the car.

And as soon as he arrived at the original station in Fenyin, Liu Rong began to study this Baoding.

Although the exterior of this treasure tripod has been dug up, it seems that there is no text except for some textures of birds, beasts, mountains and rivers.

Since arriving at the barracks, Liu Rong ordered people to start cleaning up the things in the ding.

However, in addition to the thick layer of soil on the upper layer, there are some simple slabs and turtle shells below.

Although there are words in this slip, there are inscriptions on it, and Liu Rong can't recognize what it means if it's a word.

Originally, Liu Rong thought that the teacher could recognize it, but he didn't want Jia Yi to say: "Your Highness, this slip must be the sacrificial text used by the ancients when they sacrificed, and it will be remembered with the inscription of Zhong Ding."

But the minister did not know what it meant."

After cracking the words in this simple script, you can see whether this tripod is one of the nine tripods or the rest of the previous saint kings.

Hearing Jia Yi's words, Liu Rong sighed, "I don't know who in the world recognizes what this means."

Hearing this, Jia Yi smiled and said: "Your Highness, the minister knows that there is a person who should recognize the meaning of this article, and His Highness also knows this person."

This involves whether Liu Rong can be more interested in his father.

Solidly, Liu Rong asked eagerly: Oh? than anyone? ”。

"It is Shen Pei Gong who first returned to Chang'an some time ago, when the minister's teacher was the late Wenhou Zhang Cang once said to the minister, the ancestor Xunzi knew the ancient Ding Wen, and passed it on to Shen Pei."

In this way, Liu Rong regretted why he was in a hurry to send Shen Pei and the others back to Chang'an............

And at this moment, it seems that it is a little inappropriate to find Shen Gong and the three of them back, Liu Rong had to say: "When you return to Chang'an, let Shen Gong take a look at what this simple statement means."

Immediately, Liu Rong decided to report the good news to his father, Liu Qi!

However, at this moment, I only heard the attendant outside the tent report, "Your Highness, Tingweizhi is asking to see you outside the tent!" ”。

Hearing this, Liu Rong remembered that he was in a hurry to see Tang Sheng yesterday, and Zhi Du seemed to have something to say.

Putting down the pen in his hand, he looked up at the attendant, and Liu Rong said, "Pass it in."

Because of this Baoding matter, Zhidu's attitude towards Liu Rong seemed to have changed at this time, and when he saw Liu Rong change his expressionless face before, he said: "Your Highness, the minister still has something to report to Your Highness!"

”。

Liu Rong said in the first chapter: "Don't blame Zhi Tingwei, I didn't listen to Tingwei's words yesterday."

Then Jia Yi told Liu Rong about his discovery in its original form.

When he heard Zhidu's words, Liu Rong linked them with the words of Na Ma Shang a few days ago.

In this way, after Liu Rong sorted out the entire Hedong affairs in his heart, he knew what the affairs of Hedong were.

There was a great drought in Hedong, and Shentu Gong wanted to make money with the heroes of Hedong by reselling the root warehouse and the wet warehouse.

In order not to be reported by others, he must have cooperated with his nemesis Zhou Yang by a series of officials, and even pulled him all into the water.

Now that he has arrived in Hedong, and the Son of Heaven knows about the drought in Hedong, in order to deal with the investigation and punishment of the imperial court, he eradicates all the heroes and strongmen of Hedong Anyi, and uses the grain stored in his family to fill the deficit of the official warehouse.

And this week, Yang You and Shen Tugong still didn't change their lives, so they fought again.

But I don't want to, it is precisely because of the battle between these two people that it will be exposed so quickly.

Thinking of this, Liu Rong also said secretly: "This wishful thinking is really good!" ”。

On the same day, Liu Rong picked up the pen and wrote a note to his father, Liu Qizhi. Ran Zhidu, as the envoy sent by the Son of Heaven, is naturally also on the line.

However, Liu Rong's note is written about the matter of Hedong officials, and the other is naturally about the discovery of Baoding in the Tu Temple after Fenyin.

However, one day, these three letters were sent to the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an, and they read the music of Zhidu one by one, and the angry son of heaven Liu Qi gritted his teeth, "Traitor!" What a thief! ”。

And seeing Liu Rong's mention in the Shushu mentioned that a treasure tripod was found in the earthen temple of Fenyin, it made Liu Qi, the son of heaven, excited, and couldn't wait to drive to Hedong to see this treasure tripod in person.
