Chapter 368: Proverbs
Jiang De coughed, and reluctantly put down half of the fruit he had eaten, I have to say that Zhao Ji ate well here, and then slowly walked to the middle and said, "Back to the Emperor, this matter is just a guess, and please ask the Emperor to make a decision." β
Zhao Ji nodded, and everyone also looked at Jiang De, Jiang De continued, "Let's talk about this keel first, the keel is actually a tortoiseshell bone piece, more than two thousand years ago, it was the Shang Dynasty, that is, during the War of the Gods. β
Thanks to Jiang De's Romance of the Gods, most of the people in this court have seen it and know that history, of course, this is mainly because Zhao Ji likes it, and the courtiers naturally have to understand it.
It's just that how did this book of heaven have anything to do with the War of the Gods and the Shang Dynasty?
Jiang De continued, "The Shang Dynasty was the most important sacrificial divination, and this dragon bone was actually the divination at that time, in the Shang Dynasty, as long as it was a major event, it would be recorded on these tortoiseshell bone pieces, and then barbecued, supplemented by secret spells, and then look at the results on the tortoise shell to predict the auspiciousness of this matter."
Therefore, the text on this keel is actually the text of the Shang Dynasty, which has been lost because of its age, but please see, there are still some words on it that are similar to today's words. β
Jiang De was reading over there, and many Wenchen stared at him, and even Zhao Ji walked down and carefully studied the oracle bone inscription, the text more than 2,000 years ago, is this book of heaven real?
In fact, Zhao Ji didn't believe in such a thing as the Book of Heaven at first, there was no way, as the Daojun Emperor, he had seen too many auspicious things from all over the world, and he knew that many of them were forged, but as an official, many things were seen through and not said.
Jiang De put down the oracle bones and said to Zhao Ji, "Official, this information is also what I heard my father say when I was young, but I didn't learn these ancient characters, how to interpret them, you have to be a talented person like Taishi to do it, Wei Chen thinks that many of these dragon bones are left by ancient Taoist witches, maybe there will be some cultivation techniques." β
Cai Jing glanced at Jiang De gratefully, this kid is too sensible!
Zhao Ji immediately looked back at Cai Jing, Cai Jing stroked his beard and made a deep shape, looked at the stele and said, "The old minister can only recognize a little in a short time, if you want to identify it all, it will take time, this Tianshu stele also asked the official to rub a copy for the old minister to take back." β
Zhao Ji sighed, "At the critical moment, I still have to go out of the horse, so let's ask the Taishi to work hard, as for the matter of Liangshan..."
Zhao Ji hasn't forgotten where this thing came from.
"Liangshan's heart of submission is very strong, and he dedicated the stone tablet of the Book of Heaven, which made a great contribution to the imperial court, amnesty the people of Liangshan, and allowed them to return to the imperial court, as the leader... Who is the leader? β
Jiang De almost wanted to faint, I swallowed your tens of thousands of troops, and you don't even know who your opponent is?
"It's Jiang Xinzhi!"
Zhao Ji nodded and said, "Feng Jiang Xinzhi is the envoy of the Yunzhou Festival, and the rest of you, let them arrange their names and have their own rewards." β
"Official, is this too thick?" Zheng Juzhong hurriedly came out of the queue and said, what are you kidding, I caught a bunch of thieves who were literati, and finally was named the envoy of the festival, this is going to be spread, not to mention what the people of those families will think of themselves, even the saliva of the people in the world can't stand it.
Jiedu envoy, since the Tang Dynasty, has been a high-ranking official position of military attachΓ©, and in the Song Dynasty, although it is only a virtual title, it is the ultimate of a false title, even Jiang De himself did not expect Zhao Ji to be so arrogant.
But think about it again, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Liangshan now, and it is nothing to reward a festival envoy.
Zhao Ji waved his hand, indicating that it was decided, and then announced the end of the court meeting, and then pulled Cai Jing to start studying the Book of Heaven and the keel.
Zheng Juzhong looked aggrievedly at Zhao Ji, who was pulling Cai Jing to study there, Hu Yanzhuo is treasonous, so it's okay? The people of Liangshan are not guilty? What's going on!
What's going on? These are not a matter in Zhao Ji's eyes, Jiang Deke said, this Tianshu stele may be the secret of the Heavenly Dao, if this is thoroughly understood, maybe it will become an immortal again, yes, he Zhao Ji turned out to be the Immortal Emperor, and naturally became an immortal again.
Jiang De was not let go, but was dragged to Yanfu Palace to consult the inscription together.
Where is Jiang De willing to spend time on this, after constantly prompting Cai Jing, it took a day to decipher the Book of Heaven, Zhao Ji did not suspect that this was a little weird, but felt that it was because he knew the words of the Book of Heaven in the first place, so it was not strange that it was fast.
"Kunlun majestic river water soup
The red sun is rising, and its path is bright
The five mountains are swaying in all directions
The ancestors worked diligently to prosper the country
Fight the heavens and the earth to expand the eight wildernesses
Three catastrophes passed through Tang Yu Xia Shang
The mountains and rivers are broken, and the country is weak and permanent
Zhou divided the east and west, and the Qin and Han dynasties were strong
The north and south were unified, first Sui and then Tang
Chao Liang and Jin Li Shu suffered
One child and two dragons were intercepted as emperors
When the golden stone comes out of the mountain, he becomes the king
The world gathers and swears not to surrender
The country is so miserable and glorious
Rebirth and Boundless Country"
Cai Jing slowly read the words on the stone tablet of the Book of Heaven, took a breath and said, "Official, this looks... It's like a proverb. β
Zhao Ji's face changed a little, proverbs, there have been proverbs since ancient times, the most important thing is that there are no inaccurate proverbs that have life, and no matter how the courtiers want to defy the sky, history will tell you that you are working in vain.
I don't know in ancient times, but the Qin Dynasty's dead Qin Hu, everyone thought it was Hu people, and the result should be on Hu Hai, the Han Dynasty's Han Dynasty, when Tu Gao's words simply became the nightmare of all the emperors of the entire Han Dynasty, the eighteen sons of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the main artifact and the Tang Dynasty, the heroine Wu Wang These two proverbs made many people die, and the result was fulfilled, and the inspection of the founding of the Song Dynasty was also the Zhao family's proud destiny.
Now that the proverb is coming out again, and it is still like this, Zhao Ji has to be waited.
"Master, what does this heavenly proverb mean? Can you interpret one or two? Zhao Ji looked at Cai Jing and asked.
Cai Jing thought for a while, and then said with a smile, "The official family, the words in front are easy to understand, and the one child and two dragons in the back must be talking about the two official families of my dynasty Taizu and Taizong.
And the mountains are kings, I am afraid that the future generations of the official family will have a catastrophe, so that the Quartet mountains will rise against the king, and our dynasty is in danger of breaking the country, but the official family you look at the back, at that time, there will naturally be the soldiers of the Quartet Qin King, and our dynasty will also be reborn after a catastrophe, so that it will be thousands of years. β
Jiang De couldn't help but give a thumbs up, this proverb can explain the past, Taishi's brain is fast, just wait for more than ten years, and then look at this stone tablet, I'm afraid you will have other ideas.
"Taishi, you are not here during this time, but you are really suffocated, it just so happens that Qionglou has an extra fun thing, why don't you go and see it together?"
Zhao Ji finished playing with the Tianshu stele, and remembered the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan in the sand table, it turned out that Zhao Ji thought about suppressing Cai Jing, and also wanted to see if Zheng Juzhong and a few people could do it, so he had been suppressing himself, and now Jiang De paved the way for the two, and Cai Jing deliberately flattered, Zhao Ji immediately put the trade-offs that the official family should have behind, and felt that it was better for Cai Jing, and he understood that he could speak and do things, he just had to play, how to look at it and how to pleasing the eye.
Yes, the combination of faint kings and traitors has come together again.
Cai Jing smiled and arched his hand, "The official family is invited, how dare the old minister not go?" β
After the group finished speaking, they changed into civilian clothes and went straight to Qionglou, Cai Jing only glanced at the sand table, and then understood Zhao Ji's thoughts, and immediately called someone to redesign the sand table according to his intentions, and discussed with Zhao Ji how to make the mountains, forests and rivers set off each other, and how to make a place always have fun under the change of the four seasons.
Jiang De saw that this pair of monarchs and ministers were happy, so he made an excuse and left first, Zhao Ji and the others didn't care, after all, this is Jiang De's place, and it is normal for Jiang De to have some things to deal with.
Jiang De came to the room, and Xu Guanzhong and the others were waiting inside.
"Lord, what's wrong?" Xu Guanzhong was the first to ask.
Yan Qing and the others also looked at Jiang De curiously, Jiang De smiled and said, "As soon as the Tianshu Stone Tablet comes out, our good official family will not care about anything, the will of Zhao'an Liangshan should be issued soon, and the reward is extremely rich, what about the Yunzhou Festival Envoy." β
"Yunzhou Jiedu envoy? Although it is only a fictitious title, it is extremely expensive, and the court can also pass it. Xu Guanzhong said with some incredulity, "I have tens of thousands of soldiers in Liangshan, plus this position, it is simply a feudal town, doesn't the imperial court set a law of bonds?" β
Jiang De shook his head and said, "This time, the official family is rewarded because of the great joy of the Book of Heaven, but there will inevitably be people in the court who will find a way to bind us and others."
But the fetters of the court are nothing more than coercion and temptation, and there is nothing terrible. My concern now is that once the brothers on the mountain learn about Zhao'an, will anyone be disgruntled and run away? β
Jiang De didn't forget that there was a Song Jiang not far from him, if the sergeant he had worked so hard to train ran to Song Jiang because he was dissatisfied with Zhao'an, then he would really cry.
Xu Guanzhong was not too worried and said, "My lord, I don't need to be nervous about this matter, I just need to tell the brothers that this move is just an expedient measure, and continue to fight abroad, naturally no one will be centrifugal." β
As long as they continue to fight abroad, it means that Liangshan has his own ambitions, and he is not really with the court, so those who are dissatisfied with the court will be willing to continue to stay on Liangshan.
Jiang De nodded, he chose Zhao'an, he also thought about it for a long time, now there are still four years before the Fangla uprising, and six years before the battle of Baihegou, but according to the current trend of Liangshan, it will be impossible to hide it anymore, and if a full-scale war with the Song court breaks out at that time, it will be difficult for him to use the Jin army to go south to pull the flag in the future.
In fact, this is not only the opinion of President Jiang, but the opinion of the central power of the past dynasties, you do not see the Jin army going south, Zhao Gou is most anxious to destroy the thieves in the hinterland, you do not see the Qing soldiers going south, Nanming also shouted to join the Qing Dynasty to destroy the Chuang, if he really rebels first, I am afraid that there will be a situation where the Song army and the Jin soldiers will deal with themselves.
"Guys, for the next time, we'll have nine words!" Jiang De stood up and said slowly, "Build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king!" β
The crowd nodded slowly.
"Okay, now that the matter has basically been resolved, organize the fleet to go to sea as soon as possible, I think Wu Yong and Senior Brother are already in a hurry."
- Dead Leaf Island
At this time, the weather has gradually warmed up, and the dead leaves island has reappeared green, and the fish and shrimp jumping in the river from time to time seem to tell the world how rich this place is.
This is an untouched land, and a wild boar walks slowly on the meadow, looking for food.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!! Knock knock!! β
Suddenly, the earth-shattering thunder sounded, and the wild boar looked at the place where the sound came from in horror, he had heard such a sound before, as long as such a sound sounded, there would be countless two-legged beasts appearing, he hurriedly turned around and ran towards the mountains and forests, if he could fly, he would not be so afraid, because in the place where the thunder sounded, these two-legged beasts in his eyes were divided into two teams, hostile to each other, no matter how they looked, there was no way to take care of him.
"The main force of Yiligan is here? Dozens of miles around here have been explored? Lu Junyi asked again with some unease.
Xie Zhen arched his hand and said, "I have even explored the mountains, rivers and canyons, but we have not found ambushes. β
Lin Mu, who was next to Lu Junyi, said, "Don't worry, my son-in-law is familiar with this area, and there will be no loopholes." β
Lu Junyi nodded, glanced back, behind him, there was an army of nearly 20,000, of which 16,000 were the troops of the Duhu tribe and the Guwei tribe and other tribes on Dry Leaf Island, only three thousand were soldiers brought from Liangshan, of course, the equipment of these three thousand people was the best.
Lu Junyi looked at the other side again, and there was a dense crowd of people on the opposite side, most of these people were holding rudimentary weapons, and they couldn't even see a few iron weapons, let alone steel weapons.
"Let the patriarch of Yiligan speak first." Lu Junyi said to Lin Mu, Lin Mu immediately urged the horse forward, shouted loudly in the local language for a while, the opposite side was silent for a while, the crowd was suddenly separated, and a group of people walked out surrounded by a group of obviously stronger warriors.
"Yiligan! Most of the people you look at are holding stone axes, bone spears, and leather clothes, and there are no last meals, but if you look at us, we are holding blades made of steel, wearing expensive clothes, and there is endless food, don't you know who is strong and who is weak? Do you want the blood of your people to stain this land red? Do you want your people to never have enough to eat? Do you want your people to freeze in the winter? β
Lin Mu knew very well what the people of Yiligan like them wanted, that is, to eat well, wear warm clothes, and not have to be frozen in winter, and as soon as these few words were said, the morale of the other side was weakened a lot.
The leader of the Yiligan was a gray-haired man, probably in his fifties, which was already a long life expectancy in a primitive tribe like the Yiligan.
"Woods! You helped the outsiders to attack us, and you still want us to surrender? Do you think that we people of Yiligan will become your slaves so easily?
Hold on to your weapons, people of Yerigan, and keep an eye on the enemy on the other side, and the ancestral spirits of the island will bless us! Kill them all!! β
"Woo!!" "Woooooooo
All kinds of strange cries came from the army of Yiligan, Lu Junyi shook his head, no way, the people of Yiligan, who have been living in the primitive law, do not believe that surrender will have a good life at all, they only know that since ancient times, as long as the defeated tribes, men will be killed or turned into slaves, and women will be plundered, without exception.
