Chapter 59 The Nine Tripods of the Zhou Royal Family

After listening to the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty's narration of the split between the Eastern and Western Zhou Kingdoms, Wei Si thought to himself, since Han Zhao supported the Eastern Zhou Duke, then why can't our Wei State support the Western Zhou Duke.

Moreover, most of the ritual artifacts of the Jiuding and Zhou royal families were under the control of the Western Zhou Dynasty, so it would naturally be more beneficial to the Wei State, and it was only verbal support, and it would not damage the relationship between the Wei State and Han Zhao, so he said to the Ji Dynasty:

"Okay, since you are the orthodox Duke of Zhou, and our Wei State is also a country that follows etiquette, of course, we fully support you as the Duke of the Western Zhou, and if you have something to do in the future, you can go to Daliang to inform the king that it is!"

The Duke of Western Zhou was overjoyed, and said to Wei Si with gratitude:

"Okay, in the future, the Great Wei State will have something to do, it will be the matter of our Western Zhou Kingdom, and our Western Zhou Kingdom will definitely do our best for your Great Wei Kingdom in the future!"

After Wei Si paid homage to King Wu of Zhou, Duke of Zhou, and Duke Zhao, he remembered Jiuding of Zhou Tianzi again, and asked Duke of Western Zhou:

"This king heard that Zhou Tianzi's former palace was very magnificent, and he has always wanted to pay his respects, but unfortunately he has not had the opportunity for a long time, and today I don't know if the Duke of Western Zhou is willing to lead the way for the widow?"

The Duke of Western Zhou was a little hesitant at this time, and Su Qin came over to him and said:

"Uncle Zhou, our king is not a greedy and tyrannical king like King Qin and King Chu, you don't need to worry too much about those royal weapons in the palace, our king is just sleeping on the sky, Uncle Zhou, you can satisfy his heart, isn't it okay?"

The Duke of Western Zhou was naturally worried that after the royal family's heavy weapons were spied on by the King of Wei, he became greedy, so if he gave these heavy weapons to the King of Wei, he would offend Zhou Tianzi! If you don't send it, won't you offend King Wei, so you will be in a dilemma, not to mention that it is still Jiuding, which symbolizes the authority of Zhou Tianzi?

After listening to Su Qin's words, the Duke of Western Zhou was still a little relieved, and said to Wei Si:

"King Wei, as long as you don't ask for our Zhou royal family's heavy weapons, I'll take you to the Heavenly ** Hall now!"

Wei Si naturally understood that the Duke of Western Zhou was worried that he would covet the royal weapons inside, so he responded to the Duke of Western Zhou:

"Is this king the kind of king who covets small profits? There are only a few broken copper and iron, this king is really likely to be able to see it, you can rest assured that the Duke of Western Zhou! ”

So the Duke of Western Zhou took Wei Si out of the Zongmiao, and returned to the gate of Zhou Tian's ** bed, which Wei Si had half stepped into before.

Suddenly, at this time, several royal officials quickly walked around from behind, blocking the way of Wei Si and the Duke of Western Zhou.

Wei Si pointed at these royal officials and turned his eyes back to the Duke of Western Zhou:

"This ...... This...... What's going on? ”

After Xi Zhou Gong also glanced at the officials blocking in front of him, his expression was also very helpless:

"King Wei, these are officials sent by Zhou Tianzi to be in charge of the affairs of the royal city, and they are blocking the way of you and my Duke of Zhou like this, so I can't help them!"

Wei Si was a little angry and blamed the Duke of Western Zhou:

"You bastard Duke Zhou, just now you promised to take this king to visit the Son of Heaven's bedroom, now it's good, get a few so-called Zhou royal officials to block the king's way, in this case, this king doesn't have to visit the Son of Heaven's bedroom, and in the future, your Western Zhou Kingdom will have nothing to do with our Great Wei!"

After speaking, he turned around and was about to brush his sleeves away, but was stopped by the Duke of Western Zhou running over directly.

At this time, the Duke of Western Zhou knelt directly in front of King Wei and said with tears on his face:

"King Wei, the people in front of you who blocked your way, although they were sent by Zhou Tianzi, are actually the spies sent by the King of Qin to monitor me, the Duke of Zhou and Zhou Tianzi, so although I, the Duke of Western Zhou, am the monarch here, this Qin State is not offended by our Western Zhou Kingdom!"

Wei Si was stunned, when did this Qin State actually place all the officials in Zhou Wangji? What's going on?

On the side, Su Qin also knew that Wei Si was puzzled, so he came over and told Wei Si about the last time Qin attacked Zhou.

Because the matter of Fa Zhou has already been described, there is naturally no need to say more here.

After listening to Su Qin's account of Qin's war against Zhou, Wei Si couldn't help but say:

"This King of Qin is too domineering, and he actually sent people to Zhou Wangji to hold Zhou Tianzi and Zhou Gong hostage, this king can't bear it!"

Then he shouted to the side:

"Where is Wei Ran?"

After a while, Wei Ran hurriedly ran over with dozens of Wei Si's relatives and said:

"Back to the king, the ministers are here!"

Wei Si pointed in the direction of blocking the entrance of the Zhou Palace:

"Wei Ran, the widow ordered you to send someone to arrest these Qin Guoxiao Xitong who are blocking the door, if you encounter resistance, you will be killed!"

Wei Ran finally had the opportunity to make meritorious service in front of his uncle King Wei at this time, so he immediately said excitedly:

"Okay, I'll go!"

After speaking, he led these dozens of guards to pounce directly on these officials who blocked the door.

These officials sent by the Qin State to Zhou Wangji were all civil servants, who could resist these guards around King Wei, and they were all caught by Wei Ran and others at once.

At this time, the Duke of Western Zhou came over with a somewhat frightened face and persuaded Wei Si:

"King Wei, if you treat the people sent by the King of Qin to our Zhou Wangji like this, it will anger the King of Qin, and it will be our Zhou royal family who will suffer at that time!"

Wei Si sneered:

"Have you forgotten that the Great Wei of this king has just defeated the Qin State? If you are afraid of the Qin State, then the Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty, although you blame this matter to this king, just say that this king ordered someone to arrest him, this king wants to see, how can the Qin State be able to do this king? ”

A smile appeared on the face of the Duke of Western Zhou at this moment:

"King Wei, you really have the demeanor of Duke Qi Huan back then, Duke Zhou, I am really grateful to you!"

Wei Si replied:

"It's just a little thing, it's just a little thing!"

Then he gave an order to Wei Ran:

"Wei Ran, if you find the shadow of Qin Guoxi in Zhou Wangji again, you must immediately arrest and expel him, you know?"

After speaking, as the Duke of Western Zhou began to enter the Forbidden City of Zhou Tianzi, which Wei Si had already wanted to go to.

After entering the gate of Tian**, what you see is a huge temple built on several meters high stone steps, resplendent and magnificent, which is the main hall where Zhou Tianzi received the princes and hundreds of officials.

After walking to the steps of the palace, Wei Si had vaguely seen that the nine giant tripods symbolizing the world were majestically arranged outside the sky.

Wei Si was very excited at this time, after all, he finally saw the legendary Son of Heaven Jiuding.

So under the guidance of the Duke of the Western Zhou, he walked up the steps quickly and stood in front of Jiuding.

I only heard the Duke of Western Zhou pointing to this Jiuding and saying to Wei Si:

"King Wei, look, this is the Jiuding of our Zhou royal family!"

Wei Si was very excited, and first walked to the middle of a large square tripod and looked at it.

Su Qin also came over and introduced like Wei Si:

"King, the name of the tripod in front of you now is 'Ji Ding', and it is also the most important tripod in the nine tripods, because Dayu built the capital in Jizhou back then!"

Wei Si carefully looked at the exquisite patterns carved on the outside of this 'Ji Ding', and saw that the things inside the patterns seemed to look like the grains produced in Jizhou, but the outline looked very much like a topographic map.

On the side, Su Qin also saw that Wei Si was puzzled, so he explained:

"King, this Jiuding not only depicts a large number of customs and affairs in Kyushu in the world, but also the outline and shape around the tripod are made according to the topography of Kyushu!"

Then he pointed to one of the rows of wheat in the pattern from top to bottom and asked:

"King, do you think that although he is wheat, if you look farther away, it doesn't look like the mountains in Shangdang County in South Korea now?"

Wei Si took two steps back according to what Su Qin said, although it was a depiction of customs and customs, but it looked like a topographic map of Jizhou, which was almost exactly the same as the geographical map he had studied, Wei Si was shocked at this time.

After all, while encompassing the customs and customs on the bronze tripod, on the other hand, it actually decorates the terrain of the mountains with subordination, and there is no deviation in the slightest, this kind of drawing method is probably not done even if it is placed in the era when Wei Si lived before more than two thousand years later, Wei Si couldn't help but say excitedly:

"This ...... This...... Jiuding really ...... It's extraordinary! ”

Su Qin said with a smile:

"Yes, otherwise, how can there be rumors in the world that those who get Jiuding win the world, it is because Jiuding is engraved with a map of Kyushu in the world!"

As soon as Su Qin finished speaking, he was pulled aside angrily by the Duke of Western Zhou on the side, it seemed that Su Qinyan's words were too direct, which made the Duke of Western Zhou displeased, Wei Si saw it in his eyes, and it was not easy to say much, after all, he also knew the relationship between Su Qin and the Duke of Western Zhou.

Wei Si walked to the other eight tripods and looked at them, and sure enough, as Su Qin said, not only depicted the customs of each week, but also the terrain was also included, and he couldn't help but caress one of the round Yu Ding, sighed at the super high level of craftsmanship of the ancestors, and secretly swore that one day, he must get this Tianzi Jiuding.

After a while, the Duke of Western Zhou and Su Qin walked back again, Su Qin's face was full of unhappiness, obviously being counted down by the Duke of Western Zhou.

The Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty pointed to the palace of the Son of Heaven and said to Wei Si:

"King Wei, do you want to go into the main hall to have a look?"

Wei Si nodded, and followed the Duke of Western Zhou into the palace of Zhou Tianzi.

As soon as he entered the main hall, Wei Si was dazzled by the direct look, the pillars of the hall inside were all huge golden silk orchid wood, and they were all covered with gold leaf, and the top tiles were also wrapped with gold leaf and glittering jade pieces, and then look at the place where the Son of Heaven sat in front of the main hall, and the surrounding area was also full of gold and jade decorations, as if the whole Zhou Tianzi Hall was like a golden jade hall, compared with the palace hall of Wei Si Liang, it was simply a world of difference.

At this time, Wei Si asked the Duke of Western Zhou curiously:

"Duke Zhou, why does Zhou Tianzi not use such a golden palace, but he lives in Chengzhou in the east?"

The Western Zhou Dynasty explained:

"King Wei, you may not know that this royal palace was built by the Duke of Zhou during the reign of King Cheng, and then there was a rebellion of the prince's dynasty, and the Son of Heaven was forced to move to Cheng Zhou, but the later Son of Heaven felt that Cheng Zhou was suitable to live, so after the Son of Heaven moved there, he was unwilling to come back, and entrusted this royal city to our successive Zhou Dukes to take care of!"

Wei Si sighed:

"It's a pity that this is such a majestic palace!"
