December 31, 476 B.C., Yecheng.

There are not many beauties in Zhao Wuxian's harem, and those who are younger and can still give birth are Xi Shi and Kongtong, Mingzhu, one south and one north. Strange to say, Xi Shi only gave birth to daughters, and the three daughters were named "Hui", "Yan" and "Man" respectively after the sentences in the Book of Poetry. But Kong Tongzhu only gave birth to a boy, her first child was named "Liang", and then gave birth to a pair of twins, named "Zhuo" and "Wei", and now she is pregnant again, and Bacheng is also a boy.

Although Zhao Heng, Zhao Yan and other sons have grown up, the current Changle Palace is once again filled with the laughter of the six children.

And what children are looking forward to the most is the New Year.

Not to mention, this New Year's is different, just the huge Jiuding that their father brought back from Luoyang a few days ago made them excited for a long time, and when they woke up, they ran to watch the craftsmen and soldiers settle Jiuding.

The palace people didn't have time to pay attention to the six little princesses, because inside and outside Yecheng and Changle Weiyang Palace were busy, not only to prepare for the ceremony of the prince and the prince as the son of heaven. Also because as the New Year's bell is about to ring, the princes from all over the world, and even the vassals from all over the world will come to congratulate them, and their arrival will inevitably have a variety of tributes sent into the palace.

Needless to say, the domestic counties and counties, except for a lin, sent by Ranqiu in Shanyang County, are basically auspicious things such as Jiahe, which is the best symbol to prove the destiny of the Zhao regime.

The princes are the treasures at the bottom of the box in their own places: Luan Bird and West Dog of Western Qin, Coral of Sanqi, Shark Pearls of Yue Kingdom, White Horse of Yan Kingdom, Ginseng of Chen's North Korea, and Winged Bird of Ba Country......

In particular, in order to avoid the disaster of the country, the Chu State bleed the most, not only did the Chu Jun Xiong Zhang come to the court in person, but also brought the national treasure and the clan, the Suihou Zhu and the traditional tribute Maobao.

However, the limelight of those treasures of the Chu State was accidentally robbed by the tribute sent by the Shu State.

Under the careful care of the palace people, Zhao Wuxian's three pairs of children were all gathered in front of a large cage, and there were two rare beasts of Shu that the Central Plains people had never seen.

The two animals, one female and one male, have a fat and round body, and a very short tail that you can't find if you don't pay attention, and its whole body is composed of black and white, and its hair is light and shiny. The appearance looks like a bear, but it is smaller, and it is not fierce, and the two dark circles on the round face are naturally cute, and there is a kind of cute cuteness.

Others can't recognize it, but Zhao Wuxian can't forget this animal when he dies, isn't it a panda!

Out of awe of Zhao, they expressed their willingness to restore the surrender to the Central Plains during the Zhou Dynasty, and tribute was a symbol of submission.

The Shu people who came to pay tribute said that this thing is called Su Yu in the local area, and it was caught by the Shu people from the mountains south of the Qinling Mountains, because it likes to eat bamboo, and it will not harm other animals until it is absolutely necessary, and it is a kind of "righteous beast" that can coexist peacefully with the Shu people, so the Shu people regard this animal as a symbol of peace and friendship. In Shudi, when two tribes are at war, as long as one side raises the Qiyu flag, it means that the other side will give in, and the other side will stop fighting.

It sounded good, but Zhao Wuxian felt inexplicably happy when he thought that the Shu people would raise the panda flag when they were fighting, and the bloody battle atmosphere of the wild mountains and wilderness was gone.

In short, if it comes, it will be safe, and it is important to let the two living treasures survive this winter, so he threw them to Yu Ren to take care of, but unexpectedly attracted all the attention of the children.

"It's moving!" Zhao Liang, the oldest and more active, pointed to the cage and said excitedly to his brothers and sisters, but then disappointed to find that it was just a panda turning over.

The princess and son came, but the two living treasures didn't care, most of the time they were asleep, their abdomen facing the sky, just their front paws gently patting their stomachs. Sometimes, as soon as it kicks its legs, it rolls over, thinking that it has woken up, but in fact it is still sleeping.

However, under the unremitting teasing of the sons and daughters, the panda was finally woken up, rubbed his eyes with his paws, and the first thing he did after getting up was to eat, grabbed the winter bamboo shoots thrown next to him, and feasted on them, not polite at all, that look, as if "An Neng broke his eyebrows and bent his waist to make me unhappy?" ”

But just like this, it is enough to make the little boys and daughters laugh non-stop, in their opinion, these two cute animals are much more interesting than the cold, full of patina Jiuding......

The boy didn't know what it was like to be sad, and the six children who were loved by all kinds were happy, but their brother was not so leisurely. Zhao Cao, who was finally able to return to Yecheng, as well as the crown prince Zhao Heng, Xu Jun and Zhao Yan, were obediently sitting in the Riju Hall at the moment, and under the eyes of their father, they were flipping through the book that Zhao Wuxian wanted them to read-the "World Book" that the historian of Zhao State had just revised and printed!

……

"Lineage clans are recorded by ancient historians. During the Zong Zhou period, there was a small history lineage to distinguish Mu. However, in modern times, the Zhou dynasty declined, the princes competed, the classics were scattered, and the historians died. The widow ordered Zhao Taishi to study the history books and lineages of the princes, and compiled this book. The book can be divided into 15 chapters, including "Preface", "Imperial Lineage", "Three Kings", "Princes", "Qing Dafu Shi", and "Confession", excerpts from the lineage and surname origins of history......"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Wuxian asked his three sons: "This book, the widow ordered someone to print several copies, and posted it at the four gates of Yecheng. What do you think? ”

The three sons looked at each other, and in the end, it was the eldest son, Langya Jun Zhao Cao said sneeringly: "Father, this book is exquisite and extremely valuable, but it's just ...... The legend of the Five Emperors is ambiguous and unclear, and different princes and different places have different sayings, so it is a bit ...... to be judged."

"You're trying to say that it's not rigorous enough, it's sloppy?" Zhao Wuxian asked coldly.

Zhao Cao hurriedly lowered his head: "The kid doesn't dare!" ”

said that he didn't dare, but it could be seen that he disagreed with the preface and the part of the "Five Emperors" in the "World Book".

Zhao Wuxian naturally knows this, because many of the contents in this book are made up according to his intentions......

In front of people like Confucius, Zhao Wuxian spoke bluntly, saying that he did not believe in the mandate of heaven, and that heaven was permanent, not for Yao's survival, and not for ruin. However, after returning to Yecheng, he was about to ascend to the supreme position, but he lied to his subjects against his will.

He wants to use all kinds of "auspiciousness" that the people believe in to prove to them that the mandate of heaven is mine, and the monarch is granted by heaven.

This book was born for this purpose.

In the "Preface" at the beginning of the book, the protagonist is a Chinese supreme god named "Haotian God".

"Haotian God, there is a great thing to do. Monitor the Quartet, seek the people's mo! ”

God is an inherent concept in China and has nothing to do with Jehovah. Ironically, after the Jesuit missionaries used the Confucian word "God" to translate their God, the former was slowly forgotten by the Chinese, who thought that "God" was exclusive to the West.

In the oracle bone of Yin Shang, there is already the word "emperor", the emperor is the first word of the di, the pedicle of the flower, that is, the beginning of all things. As said in "Song of Shang", "There are generals, and the emperor is a businessman." Yin Shang used this word to honor their ancestor god, who was not only the ancestor of the Shang clan, but also the lord of the gods, and after deifying the real monarch, the monarch of Yin Shang also called himself emperor.

The Zhou people also believe in Haotian God, and also believe that they are related to Haotian God. The first born people, Shi Wei Jiang Yan. What about the people? Ke Ke Emperor Wu Minxin, the key to stopping, carrying the earthquake and carrying the dream. Carry birth and breeding, the time is after Ji - "Daya. Shengmin. They believe that their old grandmother Jiang Yan gave birth to Houji by stepping on the footprints left by the Emperor of Heaven in the world.

So after defeating the merchants, the Zhou people forcibly fused their beliefs with the beliefs of the Yin merchants, and Zhou Gong confidently said to the failed merchants: If God is your ancestor and the protector of your clan and surname, then why do we Zhou people have the world?

As a result, the color of the surname "Haotian God" was erased by the Duke of Zhou, making it high above and becoming a god that all states and clans under the rule of the Zhou Dynasty must worship. Since he is not the ancestor or ancestor of a family or a surname, then he will not have a special favor for a certain surname or a certain race, but looks down on the world fairly and selflessly, "God listens to his own people, and heaven sees himself and the people see." Whoever has the virtue of "king the world" will be the king of the world!

According to the analogy, the sky can change the summer life, the Yin life, and naturally the Zhou life. The reason why Zhao Wuxian was ordered by heaven and Zhou came from this.

This can be regarded as a tombstone dug by the Duke of Zhou for the Zhou Dynasty, and that terrifyingly intelligent politician just wanted to find a reason for the sparsely populated Zhou people to merge with their subjects with different surnames? Or has he realized that it is impossible to have one lineage for all generations?

Now, Zhao Wuxian only needs to copy all the means used by the Zhou people to prove that they have the Mandate of Heaven, and "prove" that Zhou De has declined and that the Mandate of Heaven has been moved to the head of the surname Ying.

"King Wen was ordered to have this martial art." "Although Zhou is an old state, his life is renewed." The poems in these verses can completely instruct the Confucian sect that took refuge in him to change its appearance and replace the protagonist with Zhao. Confucius has passed away, and these practices are not angry with him, so Zhao Wuxian has nothing to fear.

But this is not Zhao Wuxian's only purpose, he has to make up another big lie, that is: the five emperors, the three kings, the twelve princes, and even the surrounding barbarian Rong Di state that has gradually become Chinese, are actually one family!

We are all descendants of Haotian!

……

Following the praise of Haotian God's hundreds of millions of folk songs. After the preface, it is the most important content of the book, "The Five Emperors".

This is also the least rigorous part of this book, under the instructions of Zhao Wuxian, the five emperors were identified as "Emperor Xuanyuan", "Emperor Lieshan", "Emperor Shaohao", "Emperor Gaoyang" (颛顼), "Emperor Gaoxin" (Emperor Yu). Corresponding to the five elements of color, that is, the Yellow Emperor, the Yan Emperor, the White Emperor, the Black Emperor, and the Green Emperor.

The Yellow Emperor was considered his ancestor by the Zhou people surnamed Ji, and also derived Tang Yao's surname Qi, Yu Shun's surname and other branches. Emperor Yan is the ancestor of the surname Jiang. Needless to say, the White Emperor Shaohao has the surname Qin Zhao as his ancestor. As for Zhuan, it is the ancestor of the Chu people, and the first sentence of the opening sentence of the descendant Qu Yuan is the descendant of Emperor Gaoyang......

And the emperor Gao Xin, that is, the ancestor of Yin Shang, the "Gao Zu Xin" in the oracle bone inscription.

In later generations, because the kingdom of the world has been culturally assimilated by the Zhou people after hundreds of years, even if the Zhou Dynasty is exhausted, it has achieved a complete victory in culture, so the princes of the Warring States began to purposefully graft the ancient lineage in order to prepare for the upcoming "world is set to be one". In the end, Sima Qian's "Five Emperors Benji" completed this huge plan, and Shaohao, Zhuan, and Emperor Yu were directly grafted into the descendants of the Yellow Emperor. Regardless of the latter two, in fact, Shaohao's era may be older than the Yellow Emperor and Chi You.

The only one who is listed alongside the Yellow Emperor is Emperor Yan, after all, in order to win over their ally Jiang surnamed Siyue, the Zhou people have always preached that the second ancestor is a brother in the previous classics, and it is difficult for future generations to wash it off.

That's how the title of the descendants of Yan and Huang came about......

Nation, in fact, is a kind of imaginary community, it is true.

But on this historical line, because of the annexation of the Central Plains by the surname Zhao, everything became different, and he was embarrassed to say that the Yellow Emperor and Emperor Yan were the sons of Shaohao, after all, it would be too shameless, so he simply juxtaposed the five emperors and said that they were all the sons of Haotian God, and they were brothers!

"The world is set to be one, not only the territory, but also the clan blood. Even if the widow is to be appointed! King James Haotian God is the father of the Five Emperors, the ancestor of Tang Yao and Yu Shun, the ancestor of the third dynasty of Xia and Shang, the ancestor of the people of Zhuxia, and even the ancestor of Rong Di Barbarian! The barbarians from afar do not understand Chinese ethics, so they can only use the concept of the Emperor of Heaven and the Son of Heaven to deter them! ”

Today's release of the "World Book" to the public is precisely for this plan!

Zhao Wuxian knew that most of these things were fake and couldn't stand scrutiny, but he didn't care. A lie told 10,000 times becomes the truth.

The Yue people, who are not in the same language family as the Central Plains at all, have begun to worship Dayu and worship him as their ancestors under Zhao Wuxian's flickering and realistic political needs; Gradually, the nomadic tribes in the north of Yunzhong and Shanggu will also begin to legend, in fact, their ancestors are after the Yellow Emperor, after the Xia Hou clan, after the Yin Shang, a certain concubine, a certain unintended clan, from the Central Plains to the north into the grassland desert, slowly changed the customs.

Under the endorsement of the official mouthpiece of the Zhao family, thousands of years later, there will be no descendants of Yan and Huang in this world, but they will be replaced by the descendants of Haotian......

This concept is very much in line with the national conditions of a multi-clan and multi-ethnic unified dynasty.

This is what Zhao Wuxian wants to say to his sons today, especially his crown prince Zhao Heng, he hopes that Zhao Heng can understand his good intentions.

"The widow took the body of a squint, raised troops to punish the Jinqing riot, and was listed as a prince. Subsequently, he reinvigorated the long-term strategy and Yu Yu, divided into two weeks and died the princes, and performed the supreme and made Liuhe. Zhou De is exhausted, and the mandate of heaven will belong to the Zhao family. Tomorrow is the New Year's Day, when the widow will officially receive the mandate of heaven and replace Zhou as the son of heaven! Domination of the world! ”

"You must remember that the Son of Heaven is not the Son of Heaven of the Zhao family, but the Son of Heaven of the Wan family!"

However, throughout the three generations of antiquity, regardless of Tang, Yu, Xia, Shang, Zhou, and Zhao, they are all the names of one family, one surname and one place, and their meaning is narrow, not enough to be called successful and passed on to future generations. The widow inherits the mandate of heaven, and there are four seas and nine states, and there must be a good name, in order to show the orthodoxy of the five emperors and the three kings. ”

"Ying's surname is Zhao, and he is the heir of the White Emperor Shaohao. What the widow received is the command of God Haotian. Hao, the appearance of the vitality is also broad, its words are beautiful, its meaning is Bo, and it is the name of the country. ”

"Therefore, from tomorrow, the name of the new dynasty will be renamed 'Hao'!"

The three brothers Zhao Heng, Zhao Cao, and Zhao Yan were excited, bowed to the chief, and made great gifts to the monarch and ministers.

"May the monarch father live for ten thousand years, and Dahao for ten thousand years!"

Their hearts are full of expectations for tomorrow, when the time comes, the land under their feet, the entire Kyushu, will usher in a new dynasty that does not exist in history on the basis of inheriting three generations!

Hao Dynasty!

PS: "Shiben", is a book that exists in reality, the author is a historian of Zhao during the Warring States Period, and there are eight versions in existence.

Xi Shaodian married the Youshu clan and gave birth to the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor. The Yellow Emperor was made of Ji Shui, and the Yan Emperor was made of ginger water. Cheng Yide, so the Yellow Emperor is Ji, and the Yan Emperor is Jiang - "Chinese. Jin Yu IV
