Chapter 20: The Prophecy of the Golden Sword

Huangzhou Prefecture, Huangzhou Governor Shi Hao Wu Bo and Xiyang Wangfu Guard Wu Ming were talking, and Sima Yuwen 15 was also present, and the three of them were discussing a major matter at this time, that is, a matter mentioned in the confession taken by Wu Ming.

The ins and outs of the matter are probably as follows: There is a Buddhist society in Bozhou, and the backbone of the organization is sent to Huangzhou to organize a branch, that is, a big Yiyi in Bozhou, and people are sent to Huangzhou to establish Yiyi.

This Yiyi organization believes in the Maitreya Sutra that has been deliberately misinterpreted, and the big leader behind it seems to be surnamed Liu.

"Or he claims to be surnamed Liu, but it is certain that this person's plans are not small." Wu Ming concluded, "The short-term goal of this Yiyi is to gain a firm foothold in Huangzhou, attract believers, and accumulate money. ”

Yuwen Fifteen was a little confused: "Eh, why is the big boss behind the scenes surnamed Liu, but the picture is not small?"

There are so many surnames in the world, and some surnames are indeed more sensitive in specific situations, such as the Yuan family when the Qi State and the Zhou State replaced the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasty respectively, and the Gao family after the Zhou State destroyed the Qi Dynasty, there may be Miao descendants who want to resist stubbornly, so be careful.

The Sui State, which was destroyed not long ago, is said to have been whereabouts of Yang Erlang and Yang Guang so far, so once the leader of a secret society is surnamed Yang, the official government of the Zhou State will definitely be ready for it.

But how can the surname Liu be so vigilant?

Before Wu Ming could explain, Hao Wubo suddenly asked, "Yuwen Sima, do you know what the 'Golden Sword' is?" ”

"Uh, I don't know."

"So what is a 'golden knife'?"

"Ah, Mao Jindao Liu." Yuwen Fifteen felt that he was able to answer this question, and he was glad to be able to do so.

He was Yu Wenwen's personal entourage, and he was eating, drinking, and having fun in Chang'an City back then, and all kinds of rules in the open and secret were clear, but when it came to learning, the master and servant were a little out of the table.

However, Yuwen Wen seems to have changed after marriage, but Yuwen Fifteen is the same, there is no problem with reading and writing, but he is blind when he makes an article, and in front of Hao Wubo, who is full of poetry and books, he can't compare to Wen Jiezi, so Yuwen Fifteen feels that he can answer, and it is worth being happy.

"Mao Jindao refers to Liu, Sima can know the son of the Liu family?"

Faced with Hao Wubo's question, Yuwen Fifteen was happy again, because he could answer this question: "Isn't the Son of Heaven of the Two Han Dynasty surnamed Liu, and Ji Han's Uncle Liu Huang... Uh, and the Liu Guanjia of the Song Kingdom. ”

"So, Sima Ke knows the weft, or the study of the weft?"

"Uh... Ignorance. ”

Yuwen Fifteen is indeed Bai Ding in this regard, but Hao Wubo does not have a look of disdain, after all, everyone is very familiar, and they are the left arm and right arm of Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wen who stayed in Huangzhou to take care of the family, so he patiently explained.

The study of prophecy, which arose in the Qin and Han dynasties, became more and more prosperous in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the dismantling of the prophecies caused by the doctrine of prophecy became a thing obsessed with many readers, and prophecies can be understood as prophecies, and they are political prophecies.

There are many famous proverbs in history, one of which is that after the Qin State unified the world, there is a proverb that says, "Those who die in Qin, the lake is also", as a result, after the death of the first emperor, his son Hu Hai ascended the throne, and the Qin Dynasty died not long after.

Second, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, there was a proverb that said: "Liu Xiufa can't catch the army, the four Yi gather in the dragon and the wilderness, and the four seven flames are the main fire", in a nutshell, "Liu Xiu should be the son of heaven".

At that time, Wang Mang, who usurped the government, had a henchman named Liu Xin, who was a member of the Han clan, and wanted to fulfill this proverb, so he specially changed his name to "Liu Xiu".

As a result, Liu Xiu of Nanyang responded to the proverb and was Emperor Guangwu of Han in order to continue Han Zuo.

Third, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a proverb that said: "Those who represent the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao", Huainan Yuan Shuzi Highway, felt that it should be his own prophecy, and there happened to be a jade seal in hand, so he couldn't wait to ascend the throne and call the emperor, and build the name Zhongshi.

As a result, it was Cao Pi, the king of Wei, who accepted the Han Emperor's concession, and the country name was "Wei".

Judging from the study of the weft, whoever becomes the son of heaven and who reigns over the world has its own providence in the dark, and those who dare to disobey are just driving for the king or using the mantis arm as a car.

For hundreds of years, all kinds of proverbs have emerged one after another, and it is no longer clear who is right and who is wrong, some of which are post-factological, and some of which are made up by ambitious people as an excuse for their own troubles.

However, there is a kind of proverb that has been passed down from the end of the Western Han Dynasty to the present, that is, a series of proverbs such as "Liu's reign", "Liu's resurrection", and "Hanzuo's revival".

Cao Wei was subject to Han Chan, but the result was replaced by Sima Jin, waiting for the Yongjia Rebellion, the clothes crossed to the south, and the folk song came out at the end of the Jin Dynasty, which was "the golden knife has been carved, and it is in the golden city." ”

The golden knife is the pronoun of the surname Liu, and it is Liu Yu who accepts the Jin Emperor's concession, which just responds to the proverb of "Liu's resurrection".

Although the country established by Liu Yu was named "Song" instead of "Han", he was a descendant of Liu Jiao, the younger brother of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty who established the Han Dynasty.

Because there are Liu Xiu and Liu Yu in succession, a series of proverbs such as "Liu's reign", "Liu's resurrection", and "Hanzuo's revival" finally evolved into "The Proverb of the Golden Knife", which is the most credible proverb in the world.

Liu Song perished, and Xiao Qi, who replaced him, has always been very taboo and sensitive to the prophecy of the golden knife, and even the knives used in the palace are not allowed to have gold handles, let alone golden knives.

When it came to Xiao Liang and Chen Guo, although the influence of the Golden Knife Prophecy had become smaller on the surface, this taboo had been more or less inherited, and at the same time, the influence of the Golden Knife Prophecy of the Northern Dynasty was expanding.

The specific form of expression is the leaders who gather people to rebel, whether Han or Hu, most of them are surnamed Liu, or claim to be surnamed Liu.

Why is this happening? Wasn't that the case with Liu Yuan, the Huns? Under the banner of reviving the Han dynasty, raising troops to create a rebellion against the Jin State is the most straightforward slogan.

For hundreds of years, many people have been inspired by the prophecy of the golden sword, and played the banner of reviving the Han dynasty, even if they didn't believe Liu, they still claimed to be surnamed Liu.

However, it has been many years since the demise of Liu Song, and the slogan of reviving the Han family is becoming less and less attractive to people in the world, so those ambitious people began to emphasize "Liu is the king", so as to save the need to cling to the ancestors, anyway, there are so many surnames Liu in the world, not necessarily all of them are Han Miao descendants.

After all, according to the meaning of the slogan, that is, "God has said that the surname Liu must be called the king of the world", so it is not wrong to follow a leader surnamed Liu.

What's more, with the popularization of Maitreya's belief, the prophecy of the golden knife has absorbed the theory of Maitreya's rebirth and the establishment of the Pure Land on earth, and the Maitreya scriptures that the people generally believe in have been combined with the prophecy of the golden knife of Mao Jindao Liu, and its persuasive power is much stronger than the simple revival of the Han family.

Hao Wubo made a long speech, which made Yuwen 15 suddenly realize, and he couldn't help but admire the other party, because this kind of knowledge didn't seem to be able to be learned from scripture books.

Facing Yuwen Fifteen's sincere admiration, Hao Wubo sighed: "Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the style of Qing talk has become more and more popular, and many famous scholars have studied metaphysics..."

"For hundreds of years, the study of scriptures has been blended with the study of the weft, and many people have been studying the proverbs of the mysteries and mysteries all day long, trying to find the destiny of heaven from them, and he is good to follow the dragon and the yuan."

"Destiny? Fighting for the world depends on the soldiers' essence and sufficient food, what is the use of asking for that mysterious and mysterious destiny? Yuwen Fifteen couldn't help but get excited, he was affected by Yuwen Wen and was very disgusted by this kind of destiny.

"It took nine years for the king to cultivate the wasteland, gather the population, train the soldiers and horses, and build weapons, and it took the king nine years to save some money.

Yuwen Fifteen's question, Hao Wubo actually agreed very much, he and Xu Shao have always hated Qing Tan, although they are determined to do something, but they don't want to be the kind of clear stream that can only talk and not deal with practice, let alone study metaphysics and proverbs.

"Of course, the proverb is not to be believed, and it is ridiculous to want to compete in the world just by relying on a golden sword." Hao Wubo put away the confession compiled by Wu Ming, "But people with ulterior motives can use this to confuse the masses and harm the locality." ”

"It's like a bowl of good white porridge, but someone throws a mouse droppings, the porridge is not bad, but it can make people sick."

Speaking of this, Hao Wubo became serious: "Yuwen Sima, don't be careless about this matter, this mastermind behind Yiyi has a big plan, but the nest doesn't know where it is, we can't care about it elsewhere, but we must ensure that the territory of the Huangzhou Governor's Mansion cannot be allowed to gain a foothold!" ”

Yuwen 15 sneered when he heard this: "This is natural, no matter what golden knife or silver knife he has, what Maitreya is born in and out of life, if he dares to make trouble in Huangzhou, I will do him!" ”
