Chapter 530: Becoming a King and Defeating a Queen
In the winter of the 32nd year of Qin Shi Huang, in late October, the county where Zhifu Island is located ushered in Jiaodong County Shou Heifu and his men.
This is the second time that Heifu has come to the county after last year's trip to the county, and he is no stranger to the local officials.
"The second and third sons all know that Your Majesty is touring the east, and he will soon arrive in Xuan County, and he will ...... Zhifu Island."
When Qin Shi Huang traveled, he often arrived first by the ministers and officials holding the Son of Heaven Fu Festival, and waited for the Son of Heaven to drive in the famous mountain scenic spots. As the county guard of Jiaodong, Heifu of course takes the lead every time, leading the way in front and preparing to drive.
Heifu arranged for Chen Ping and Cao Shen to handle specific matters, Chen Ping was careful and orderly, he had to determine the emperor's itinerary and prepare for various matters, and Cao Shen was responsible for rectifying the local security precautions, so as not to jump off the beam.
These preparations for the journey, after the arrival of the large army, will be handed over to the CRRC Fuling and Lang Weijun. But once something goes wrong, Heifu can't get out of it, so the "Bolangsha" that has not happened so far must not appear in Jiaodong.
Heifu was busy with reception, Zhang Cang, who was traveling with him, was leisurely, called Heifu's nephew Wei Yang to accompany him, and wandered around the county, passing by a local towering and conspicuous temple, his eyes lit up, and he pulled Wei Yang in.
After entering the inside, I found that this has been sent by Cao Shen to martial law, it turns out that this temple is also a place where Qin Shi Huang may pass through, but I saw that the temple and the Central Plains are very different in shape, there are actually eight areas, there are independent temples.
When he walked to the first area, Zhang Cang suddenly asked Wei Yang:
"Wei Yang, do you know why Qi is called Qi?"
Wei Yang scratched his head: "Uncle Zhang, I only heard you tell you the story of the blessing of Qi people, but I don't know why the name 'Qi' came from." ”
"Qi people have a wife and a concubine" is a story that Zhang Cang casually told when he was in Linzi a few days ago. It seems to be telling a story to Wei Yang, but the implication is that a poor Qi people still have a wife and a concubine, why does Heifu, a guy who is a big master, Jiaodong County Guard, and has millions of family fortunes, only live with one wife?
Zhang Cangsheng is sexually fond of women, and he has to ask for a new concubine every year, and the women in the family will no longer touch it after giving birth, of course, this peculiar way of life, he has his own set of theories:
"Sexuality is also made by heaven; Lovers, the nature of sex; Those who want it, love should also be. Seek what you want to get it, and love will inevitably be what you want. What my master Xun Qing means is that human beings are by no means inherently lustful animals, and human desires are to seek all kinds of pleasures, and the more the better, this is human nature! ”
Different from the later theory of "saving heavenly principles to destroy human desires", Xunzi took human desires for granted, and it was also human nature.
He also called "desire" "the instrument of sex". Well, just looking at the literal meaning can actually be understood.
Therefore, Zhang Cang followed the master's teachings and never restrained his "sexual tools", that is, he wanted to be a scumbag who was killed by hundreds of people, correspondingly, he couldn't understand Heifu's abstinent lifestyle, so he ridiculed him.
"The son is not me, and I know my happiness?"
Heifu laughed and didn't take it to heart, Zhang Cang didn't mention it later, but Wei Yang remembered it.
Getting back to the point, Zhang Cang coughed lightly, pointed to this temple and said to Wei Yang: "The origin of Qi is related to these eight temples!" ”
In these years, all places have their own unique beliefs, the Qin people believe in the three witches, the Chu people Xindong Emperor Taiyi, the Great Si Ming, and the Shao Si Ming, and the Qi Di believe in the "Eight Gods".
Some people say that the sacrifice of the eight gods was only after the Taigong of Qi, but more people think that long before the country of the Taigong, the local Yi people believed in the eight gods. The reason why this Qi country is called Qi is because of the head of the eight gods, the god of Tianqi. ”
"Tianqi God", also known as God, is probably the transliteration of "Tian" in Dongyi language, and the altar of this god is located in Tianqi Yuanshui on the southern outskirts of Linzi City.
After entering the temple, Zhang Cang pointed to the second-ranked god tablet and said to Wei Yang: "The second-ranked landlord in the eight gods is enshrined in Liangfu Mountain under Mount Tai. ”
"Liang Father Mountain, isn't this the place where His Majesty performs meditation rituals."
Although Wei Yang could not accompany him in the vicinity like his uncle, he remembered the long and sleepy ritual.
Zhang Cang bowed: "That's right, Zen Liang's father, Zen is the landlord." ”
"Then why is the sacrifice not in Linzi, but in Mount Tai?"
Wei Yang is a little unclear so, he doesn't know, this is the role of political factors, Tianqi Yuan is the place where the monarch of Qi worships the sky, and now the Qi people have lost the country and died Sheji, so they were canceled by Qin Shi Huang, and even the temple was bulldozed, except for the Great Qin Emperor, the rest of the people have lost the qualification to worship the sky!
During the conversation, the two walked into the third temple, at this time Wei Yang found that the gods of heaven and earth have no specific image, but the gods in this room are different, it is actually a human body with cow hooves, four eyes and six hands, ears and temples like a sword halberd, a monster with long horns on his head, round eyes, holding a blade, and shaping it beautifully......
"What kind of god is this?" Yu Yang was stunned.
Zhang Cang smiled: "Chiyou." ”
"Chiyou!?"
Wei Yang was even more stunned, his uncle's staff members Xiao He and Chen Ping were all erudite people, so Wei Yang had also heard the story about Chi You, and recently the imperial court wanted to reorganize the matter of the Five Emperors, so Heifu and Zhang Cang and others also discussed.
I heard that he was originally a subordinate of the White Emperor Shaohao, but he didn't need Emperor Shaohao's order to make trouble. He fought with Emperor Yan again, and then defeated Emperor Yan and tyrannized the people, so Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang joined together to resist Chiyou, and the two sides fought in the wilderness of chasing deer......
Of course, this is the role assigned to Chiyou in the legend of the Central Plains, but in Qidi, it is a completely opposite story.
Here, Zhang Cang didn't have to shy away from it, and said: "Chi You is one of the eight gods of the war, a god, and is in charge of major war affairs. ”
"In the legend of the Qi people, Chi You is the lord of Dongyi, who fought against the Yellow Emperor, and once fought against the Yellow Emperor to seize the position of the Son of Heaven."
The word "felling" is used, and according to the usage of this era, only those in high positions and those who occupy the righteous side can "cut down". From the perspective of the Qidiyi people, Chiyou is their ancestor and hero, fighting a bright and upright war, and although he was defeated in the end, he was still glorious.
And the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, also after several repetitions, finally barely won, from the legend, the Yellow Emperor is very hated Chiyou, the stomach of Chiyou into a bow, let the soldiers kick it, this is the origin of the ju. However, after the death of Chiyou, the world was disturbed and restless, and the Yellow Emperor painted the image of Chiyou, in order to prestige the world, the world is salty and said that Chiyou is not dead, and all the countries in all directions are subdued......
This is also the reason why Chi You is in Qidi, respected as the master of the soldiers by the local Yi people, although the Eastern Yi State has been all destroyed by the descendants of Yan Huang Jiang and Tian, and the last Lai State was also defeated three hundred years ago, the Yi people and the Qi people are integrated, and now there is not much difference, but their beliefs have been inherited, rooted in the people, and the Qi government can not uproot it, so it has to be recognized.
If you think about it carefully, you will find that Chiyou is the only human god in the eight gods of Qidi, and his status is second only to heaven and earth.
"Is Chiyou a good guy or a bad guy?"
Wei Yang was confused, but Zhang Cang's heart was clear, no matter what the descendants of Qi Diyi people think, in the "History of the Country" to be newly revised by the imperial court, Chi You must be a villain, a heinous man!
One of the purposes of cultivating the history of the country is to promote the "same ancestors of all summers", and these ancestors are the "five emperors".
Although the book has not yet been officially revised, Qin Shi Huang has already arranged candidates for the five emperors based on the already existing "four emperor domains" in Qin.
The first must be the White Emperor, Qin comes from the surname Ying, the White Emperor Shaohao is the ancestor of the surname Ying, so he is respected as the head of the Five Emperors, is the father of Qin, as long as the Qin Dynasty is still in one day, Shaohao will be regarded as the head of the Five Emperors, the oldest age, in order to prove that the legitimacy of Qin is since ancient times.
The second is the Yellow Emperor, who is the direct ancestor of the Zhou people surnamed Ji, and is also considered by the Qi Guotian clan to be his distant ancestor, and he is also the mother family of the ancestors of the Qin people. According to legend, Emperor Zhuan was a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, and the daughter of Emperor Zhuan (Gao Yang) was the grandmother of the Qin people.
Correspondingly, unlike in history, Emperor Zhuan was recently honored as the "Black Emperor" by Qin Shi Huang, as an ancestor recognized by Qin, Chu, and Zhao, and Zhuan Xuan certainly has this qualification.
In addition, there are also Emperor Yan and Emperor Yu, and Emperor Yan is the ancestor of all Jiangs. Emperor Yu is also known as Gao Xin's family, although the source is ominous, but it is also called the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, and Yin Shang took it as the ancestor.
Although the generational relationship always feels messy, the lineage of the five emperors has been arranged, and Taihao, who has been widely spread, has been squeezed out of the list of the five emperors, because the Yiren surnamed Feng has almost disappeared after that, and the impact on the world has been minimal.
Correspondingly, the hero of the Dongyi people, Chiyou, will inevitably be put in the position of loser and villain, although the ancestors of the Qin people are also from Dongyi, and they may have fought side by side with Chiyou back then, but none of this is important......
He sighed, knowing that it was useless to talk more, compared to the ancient legends that no one could understand, reality was always the most important: in order to maintain the unity of the world, the world must have the same ancestor, Shaohao must be virtuous and holy, the Yellow Emperor must be bright and majestic, Emperor Yan must be old and confused, Emperor Zhuan must be the son of the Mandate of Heaven, and the direct descendants of the Five Emperors must have the charm of gods, and only they are qualified to ascend to the throne......
And Chi You must be a demon king who does all kinds of evil, disturbs the world, and is cut down by the virtuous, and is the common enemy of everyone in the world!
Looking at Wei Yang's stunned appearance, Zhang Cang couldn't help but laugh, a child is a child after all, far less calm than his middle father Heifu after hearing all this.
A few days ago, when Heifu heard Zhang Cang talk about these reasons and allusions, he said lightly.
"The winner is king, and the loser is the villain!"
It's too real to refute.
But Heifu's next sentence made Zhang Cang shudder.
At that time, Heifu looked at the Eight Temples in Yeyi City, the statue of Chi You with teeth and claws, and said: "Brother Zi Gu, have you ever thought that if one day, Da Qin suddenly dies, thousands of years later, in the history books of later generations, will Qin's image be more ugly and terrifying than this Chi You?" ”
"And the word Qin Official."
Zhang Cang still remembers that when Heifu looked at him at that time, his pupils were black and white, and there was a hint of sarcasm and self-deprecation at the corners of his mouth: "It will also become synonymous with cruelty and inhumanity!" ”
PS: I'm really sorry.,After I came back last night, I was going to squint for a while and then code another chapter.,As a result, I slept until morning.。 In the past few days, I have been doing things in the imperial capital, going out early and returning late, so the second chapter is still available at night, and I shouldn't be so tired tonight after enough rest......
