Taiqiu Society is the largest social altar in the Song Kingdom. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In ancient times, when the country was founded, it was necessary to establish a society first, and only after the establishment of the society could there be a society. She is the god of the earth, Ji is the god of ceres, and only with the community can there be a country. Since ancient times, China's agriculture has been based on soil and food has been the people's food, and Sheji has become a synonym and symbol of the country.

The Taiqiu Society is particularly important in the Song Kingdom, not only because it is the oldest social altar in this society, but also because the Taiqiu Society was established when King Wu of Zhou conquered the Zhou Dynasty, and its political status was determined in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty. King Wu of Zhou believed that the lessons of Yin's death should be learned, in addition to their own societies, there were also public Yin societies, the Shang Dynasty built the capital in Bo, "is to establish a Bo Society, thought to be a supervisor", Taiqiu Society existed before the establishment of the Song State. Because the founding of the country must first establish a society, Taiqiu Society is not only the birthplace of the land god of the Song Kingdom, but also the place of education for the lessons of the dead. In the early days, the altar of Taiqiu Society was enshrined with the "color soil" given by the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty when he divided the princes, and this "color soil" was taken by King Wu of Zhou from the five-color soil of the altar of the Beijing Society. At that time, the feudal princes implemented the "five-color soil system", that is, the national altar was laid with five-color soil, representing the five directions, symbolizing all the territory of the country.

There is not only a five-colored soil stored in the Taiqiu Society, but also a treasure that the princes of other countries envy, this treasure is Xuzhou Ding. Xuzhou Ding Ben is one of the nine tripods made by Dayu after controlling the water, after the Shang Tang extinguished the summer, it moved the nine tripods to Shangqiu. Later, King Wu of Zhou destroyed Shang, and then moved to Jiuding, and finally settled in Jiajun (Luoyang). However, in order to envelop the remnants of the Shang Dynasty, King Wu of Zhou did not actually move away all the Jiuding, but left a Xuzhou Ding in Shangqiu, and let the remnants of the royal family inherit the core area of Yin Shang, "worship its ancestors, and the country is in the Song", which is the origin of the Song Kingdom. The Song State not only has Xuzhou Ding, one of the nine tripods, but also the title of the Song State is also the highest - the principality. In fact, Song Jun could not be completely regarded as a courtier of the king of Zhou in the entire Zhou Dynasty, but was actually a "state guest".

Xuzhou Ding and the highest title of the Song State determined the status of the Song State. In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, when the Song Kingdom moved into Taiqiu, there was a special divination master: Ding must live in the country, the national fortune can be prosperous, the land can be safe, the four realms can be peaceful, the people can be healthy, and the Taiqiu Society is just in the middle of the country.

And Taiqiu Society has always been a heavily guarded place of the Song State, why is there such a serious situation? This is all because the rainfall in the Song Kingdom is too severe, and the flooding of Surabaya is too severe, even though Taiqiu Society is chosen to be on a high place, and there are mulberry forests around it, but it is still flooded, and Xuzhou Ding also sank into Surabaya with the rolling flood.

More than ten years ago, when the Dai clan took the Song Dynasty, because of the strong opposition of the countries and the Song Junzixi was worried about the interference of other countries, the Song Junzixi took the initiative to lower the title of the Song State and downgrade the status of the Song State to a princely state. The oldest Taiqiu Society of the Song Kingdom collapsed, and the most precious Xuzhou Ding was lost in Surabaya, can the Song Kingdom still be the principality with prosperous national fortunes?

At this time, Lexin and the messenger were thinking like this in their hearts.

Not long after, Dai Yan also received the news. He didn't feel anything when he received this news, in his opinion, isn't it just that an ancient "temple" with great historical significance has been destroyed, and a more precious tripod has been lost, and this is not an enemy country to come in, so why worry about it?

But when his retainers received the news, they all cried bitterly, and he felt that something was serious. Later, after learning more about the situation, he gave a definition of this matter: this is the collapse of the spiritual beliefs of the Song people.

He immediately asked, "Jun and others are so sad, is it possible that our Song Kingdom has already died?" ”

Tian Buli replied: "Son, at the beginning of the founding of the Song Kingdom, the Great Witch divined, Taiqiu Society, and Xu Ding was here, so I was Song Guocun; If Taiqiu Society collapses and Xu Ding loses, my Song Kingdom will die. My Song Kingdom is about to die, and we are all sad in our hearts, so we are in pain. ”

How can prophecies from hundreds of years ago be trusted? What is the existence of the state? One is the land, and the other is the people. Has my Song territory ever been attacked by other countries? Have the people of my Song Kingdom been slaughtered by other countries now? As long as the people of the land of our Song Kingdom are here, our Song Kingdom will not perish. If everyone is like you, then my Song Kingdom will not die, but it will die. ”

"Childe's lesson is that I am waiting to be a little woman." Tang Ying was the first to react. Then he asked cautiously: "Childe, even if we are willing to believe Childe's intentions, but thousands of people blindly obey, they may not be able to believe what Childe said, so everyone thinks that my Song Kingdom will die in the future, and if it does not die, it will die." ”

"It's really a problem. Now immediately issue an order to inform the people that our Song Kingdom has its own protection, and the collapse of the Taiqiu Society is not to be worried. An altar can naturally be rebuilt if it collapses, and Xuzhou Ding is a key, and it would be best if it could be salvaged again. Dai Yan pondered and said.

In the shrine of Fengyi, sorcerers and nobles gathered in the shrine, all of them bowed to the shrine god and kowtowed, praying for blessings, and the emotional ones wept bitterly. Outside the altar, there are also a large number of ordinary people who have heard that the Taiqiu Society, which has existed for hundreds of years, has collapsed, and even the Xuzhou Ding, the treasure of the Song Kingdom, which exists inside, has also been lost, and everyone has gathered outside the altar to pray for the land god to bless the Song Kingdom.

Dai Yan saw such a sad scene before he came to the social altar, sighed silently, and asked loudly: "You are so sad and sad, is my Song Kingdom really dead?" ”

A wizard who was emotional in the social arena heard this voice, and immediately walked out of the social altar, and saw that it was Dai Yan. He immediately saluted and replied: "Childe, the prophecy of my Song State was the first great witch of my Song Kingdom back then, and his prophecy as the founding hero of my Song Kingdom has never been wrong. Everyone knows the people of the Guoyun Gong clan of my Song Kingdom: Taiqiu Society and Xu Ding are in the Song Kingdom, and Taiqiu Society and Xu Ding are lost, and the Song Kingdom is lost. My Song Kingdom has lost the treatment of the principality before, and now it has lost the national treasure, which is God does not bless my country. The people are all innocent and sad for the death of the country, so why should the son be responsible? ”

"Was the prophecy of the Great Witch necessarily correct? I ask you, if I eat one serving of mutton every day for 10 days. One day, someone asked you to predict what I would eat tomorrow, and you replied that I would eat mutton. But on the eleventh day I felt tired of the mutton, I didn't want to eat it, so I changed to a beef. So it's clear that your prediction must have failed, right? Why is that? Since prophecies are things that happen in the future, are things to be controlled in the future? Even if I ask you to predict where and what I will be doing in half an hour, you will not be able to do it, so why can you judge that my Song Kingdom will surely perish? Is the rise and fall of a nation determined by a mere altar and an old tripod? I heard that when King Su was here, the wizards said that the Mandate of Heaven was in Shang, but why did Shang die in Zhou? Destiny is unusual, but virtue is supplemented. I, the monarch of the Song Dynasty, are virtuous, and the people are faithful, how can the sky destroy the Song Dynasty? Dai Yan said impassionedly.

The wizard was speechless for a moment, and after thinking about it, he really couldn't think of any reason to refute it. Indeed, no one can be sure that they have really received their destiny and can accurately predict what will happen in the future.

The people's perception is much simpler, a peasant stood up to Dai Yan and said: "Xuanzi, the villain doesn't understand a lot of truths, the villain just listened to the adults say that the Taiqiu Society that sacrificed to the land god collapsed, and the big water also washed away the tripod made by the old god who controlled the water, and the adults said that our Song Kingdom was about to die." Xuanzi, you are the son of God (the rumors are strong), you told the little one, now that this big water is so powerful, will my Song Kingdom perish? Will I be able to wait for more? ”

"Of course my Song Kingdom will not die!" Dai Yan replied categorically.

"In this way, the villain will be relieved." The peasant immediately bowed to his heart and went home rejoicing.

The surrounding common people saw that Xuanzi was so reassured, and they did not continue to stay here, and soon dispersed.

Dai Yan walked into the society and reprimanded the nobles and wizards: "What are you still doing here, I have said that the Song Kingdom will not die, and you are here to curse my Song Kingdom?" ”

As soon as these nobles and wizards heard the lord's stern tone, and thought that this lord was an immortal existence that could not be cleaved by gods, they did not dare to continue to stay in this place, and soon dispersed. When Le Xin was leaving, he looked at Dai Yan with an extremely complicated expression.

Dai Yan personally persuaded these "worried about the country" people to stay in this social arena for much after that, and soon left this place.

But he didn't realize that while he was persuading the wizards and the people, there were always a pair of sharp eyes staring at him, and they didn't stop until he left. This person is dressed in brown clothes, short sleeves, and dressed as an old peasant, and it is the contemporary giant Tian Gu who has left the main altar of the Mo family.

Tian Jiu was silent with his hands behind his back, and soon Uncle Tong walked up to Tian Jiu and said to him: "Giant, the disciple has already checked, there are a total of 7 scholars around Gongziyan, 6 of them have had conflicts with us in Fengyi, and the remaining 1 person is a ranger from Suiyang, and there are indeed no other Mo disciples around him. ”

Tian Jiu was silent for a long time, and Uncle Tong was silent and did not leave. Then Tian Jiu sighed: "This prince is indeed unusual, the people of the Song Kingdom worship ghosts and gods, and their princes especially believe in prophecy and omens, but this prince dares to openly deny the prophecy of the great witch back then, and this is his wisdom." This Gongzi Yan is also a wonderful person, I still need to observe him a lot before I can determine the next move, you don't need to command the affairs in Fengyi, I will personally observe this Gongzi. ”

Uncle Tong replied, "The disciple obeys. ”
