Chapter 328: Race the World
In the legends of the world for hundreds of years, the founding era of the Great Zhou Dynasty has many mysteries. And the most talked about is naturally the father who personally presided over the casting of Jiuding and the inscription Luoshu.
Shang's father's true name is unknown to most people in the world. Only those who know are those who have great merits related to him. There is no clear record of his origins, and some even say that he was an extraordinary person. In that glorious era of national war hundreds of years ago, Shang's father assisted the previous king, exterminated the tyrant, restored the world, and recast, and his merits were unparalleled. The reason why the Great Zhou Dynasty was able to stand for hundreds of years is inseparable from the various systems he participated in formulating. Because of this, the first king hid his name and only called him Father.
It's just that the biggest mystery left by Shang's father to the Great Zhou royal family and the world is not his martial arts, but his coming and going. Not only did he come to this world with no trace, but when he left, he disappeared suddenly, almost in an untraceable way. If it weren't for the nine heavy tripods left in the Zichen Palace, I thought that such a person had never come.
I don't know what the purpose is, since the first king of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the royal family has been secretive about Shang's father. In various historical books and classics, his influence is also tried to downplay as much as possible. So much so that hundreds of years later, everything about this person is only a few legends and vague shadows, and few people can say clearly what he has done to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Even Ji Yuan, the Son of Heaven, only has a rough idea of these things. So, he was very distressed all these years. Because if you want to explore the secrets of Jiuding, leaving these vital factors is tantamount to asking for fish from the wood, and the blind man touching the elephant.
Ji Yuan, who had lost the authority of the Son of Heaven many years ago, had one of the greatest wishes in his heart. That is in his lifetime, to really understand these inscriptions that he has groped with his hands thousands of times, what does it say? He, like many people, knew very well in his heart that the continuation and revival of the Great Zhou Dynasty was no longer possible. And if he can't even realize this wish, then he doesn't know if he has lost the name of this son of heaven for decades, and there is no point in it!
In order to achieve this goal, he lived in seclusion and sent everything outside to the king's brother Zimmer and the ministers to deal with. Although speaking of which, there is nothing too important about him. But this is enough to show his determination to solve the mystery of his heart.
However, what he has gained from decades of passing time is still a mess of confusion. And the wise and wise men gathered around him finally grew old until they died. But in the end, nothing was gained. Even a character like Baijiazi seems to know only a little bit about it, but he is not sure. When Bai Jiazi left Zichen Palace, he had vaguely revealed something to Ji Yuan.
"The world rises and falls, and the cycle repeats. Jiuding inscriptions, all predicted...... If someone can decipher these words and graphics, I am afraid that the number of reincarnations will be as clear as the palm of your hand. ”
Baijiazi's words, Ji Yuan always remembered. Although he understood that Baijiazi might not have said something to him yet, it was enough to know this.
Life is fifty, and the destiny of heaven is known. Ji Yuan is now over two fifties! What else is there to see? The life and death of the world are no longer confused in the heart. So the only thing left to care about is who can take over the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Zhou Dynasty and re-command the world's Kyushu?!
Perhaps, the reason why he insisted on holding on to this breath was to wait for such a result, or rather, to wait for someone to give him a real answer. He needs to take this answer with him before he can walk towards Huangquan Road with peace of mind.
And God didn't be too ruthless after all. Now, sure enough, a man came to him. In the flickering lights of the palace, the young voice was low and flat, and it didn't seem to take the matter very seriously. Even at some point, you can hear the teasing hint in the other person's tone. But Ji Yuan's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, he stared at him tightly, and there seemed to be a flame of life burning in his eyes.
“…… The division of the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty was a last resort. As time goes on, the drawbacks may grow, and eventually lead to destruction. However, in this era of low productivity, without the implementation of such a system, the people of the world will never be able to get rid of the shadow of slavery. My ability is limited, so I can only advise King Zhou to do it first...... Alas! The world is vast, and I have an end to life. As for right or wrong, I can't care about it. ”
The inscription on the first tripod is very long. Chu Jiangmian read out the sentences seriously. Outside the hall, the wind raised the railing, and the sky was full of stars. And under the light in the hall, looking at the simple fonts and these plain and easy-to-understand words that were extremely familiar in his other life, he seemed to see a lonely soul smiling helplessly. It seemed to be his shadow, and it seemed to be the shadow of countless ordinary people. But after all, it's not anyone, it's just an illusion! A sigh came out of his mouth, and the weight of thousands of years had been stacked!
Ji Yuan, the Son of Heaven, nodded heavily. It is an indisputable fact that only a hundred years after the founding of the dynasty, it has begun to gradually lose control over the princes. This, of course, was the misfortune of the Zhou royal family. But for all living beings in the world, it has completely changed the former slave status. When they became the subjects of the princes, their status was naturally very different.
"So, what is the world like after the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
The prosperity is gone, and it has become a thing of the past. The merits and demerits are irreparable. The current Son of Heaven Ji Yuan no longer has the energy to care about the past. He looked at Chu Jiangmian with eager eyes, suppressed his excitement, and waited for him to tell him the answer. Chu Jiangmian nodded. He had taken a few general glances just now, and he had roughly understood something. The first heavy crown records the origin of the dynastic system and other important events. The latter several tripods record the rise and fall of the future dynasty. Although some of the dates are not so accurate, in general, the order seems to be correct. When he saw that there were even some horizontal and vertical symbols and numbers, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile. Such a Jiuding inscription is really like a book from heaven. It would be strange if someone could see it in this day and age!
"The Great Zhou died because of the princes. After the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Rebellion, Qin unified Liuhe, reunited the world, replaced it, and officially began the ...... of the feudal dynasty. ”
"Wait! What did you say...... Are you talking about Western Qin? Could it be that the person who will rule the world in the future will be the King of Qin? ”
Ji Yuan suddenly interrupted Chu Jiangmian's words. There was a look of surprise on his face. Although there has been a proverb that has been spread all over the world for a long time, there is a saying that the phoenix is singing and Qishan, and the king of Western Qin is flourishing. But the last thing he wanted to see in his heart was such an outcome. The tyranny of the tigers and wolves of the Qin State has a long history. If they inherit the world, then I am afraid that they will really be miserable and miserable everywhere.
"Uh, Your Majesty. If it is recorded according to the inscription, this is about it. In the near future, the Qin army will gradually wipe out all the princes of the world, and take these lands and people into their pockets. Of course, it also includes the small land of Zhongzhou and Los Angeles...... On the countless bloody winds and corpses, the King of Qin will receive the gift of Jiuding and become the new master of the four seas of Kyushu. He even came up with ingenuity to choose a special name for himself, claiming that he had merit over the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors of Demai. Hehe! Your Majesty, when I say this, do you understand? ”
Looking at Chu Jiangmian's silent and breezy appearance, Ji Yuan's cloudy eyes felt a little blurred again. He raised his arm with great difficulty and wiped his eyes, only to find that the young man pursed the corners of his mouth and gently brushed the weight of the dust covered with years with his palm. At this moment, he suddenly had an illusion, those strange-shaped handwritings, as if a burning light flashed under the palms of these hands. He straightened up and asked solemnly.
"So, will you be willing?"
In this vast palace, this sentence is very abrupt. But the half-lying old man with the broken candle and the latecomer like Yushu in the wind both understood the meaning of this. Chu Jiangmian laughed. In the face of Jiuding, which bears the vicissitudes of history, an indescribable pride rises from the bottom of my heart. At this moment, he didn't want to hide it in the slightest. Even if it is the will of God, God has already predestined, so what if it goes against the sky? Even though the giant wheel of history has long been fixed on track, and trying to forcibly twist it with his own strength is tantamount to blocking the car with a mantis arm, he prefers to do it knowing that he can't do it! Because, he once promised the old man named Chu Lie a promise. If he doesn't do well enough, I'm afraid he will be sad and disappointed underground!
"Your Majesty, since the Jiuding inscriptions have said so, of course there will be no mistake. The state of Qin will unify Kyushu and dominate the world! However, before the fall of the Zhao State, the King of Qin would not get his wish...... Therefore, His Majesty can listen to these words on Jiuding casually, but you don't have to worry about it! ”
"That's what you say...... If I don't understand it wrongly, is Zhao going to compete with Qin for the world? ”
"If Your Majesty has to think so, then so be it! Your Majesty knows that the white deer I brought back from Zhongyue Mountain that year has grown up in the Jinxiang Palace in Longcheng ....... ”
"Alright, alright! Prosperous again, competing for the world...... Whoever of you has the ability to be the new master of the four seas of Kyushu! Young man, I have one last question for you. Who are you and where do you come from? ”
Ji Yuan's gloomy and gray face suddenly appeared with a strange look, like a greedy naughty boy who wanted to know everything. Chu Jiangmian sighed secretly, retracted his gaze from browsing the last Dingshang mountain and river pattern, and whispered a few words in the ear of the Son of Heaven who had returned to the light. The voice was very low, as if it was afraid of waking up the elves peeping in the world.
"Original...... I see!"
Da Zhou Tianzi closed his eyes and restrained all his shock. At the end of the long night, the flames were blazing far and near, and the shouts of killing suddenly rang out again.
