Sure enough, Bai Gui was familiar with Luoyang, and he was specifically responsible for the stability of Luoyang, so he immediately said that among the famous nobles in the city, only the Deng family did not come forward to greet or express anything. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

snapped twice, but it was Ning Yue who slapped twice.

"Doctor Bai has a good memory, it is the Deng family. Therefore, on the night of the assassination of Zhou Gong, the people of the small temple who served at night were sent in by the Deng family, and according to the old lady of Zhou Gong, the son of the Deng family was also in the early attack on the gate of the Ming Palace that day. After seeing Dr. Bai the day before yesterday, Ning sent a doorman to Deng's mansion to knock on the door, but only a blind and deaf old servant came to open the door, so Ning thought that the Deng family could not get out of the conspiracy to assassinate the king. Ning Gao said loudly.

After hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but turn their heads and ears, and even the Taishi turned to Tu Ping to inquire about the Deng family. After a while, I only heard Sima Tu slap his thigh, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, only to hear Master Sima shout, "How many Deng families are there in Luoyang?" ”

"There is only one, one of the families who followed King Ping to move east, what's wrong?" Xin Zhongli spoke.

"That's it, that day Luoyang chaos, when I was fortified outside Chengzhou City, I caught a servant from Luoyang to Gongyi, I didn't want to kill him but I searched out the waist card of the Deng family in Luoyang from him, it seems that most of them were reported to the people of the Deng family in Gongyi, if Gongyi learned that Luoyang failed, I am afraid that he would not take the risk to assassinate Zhou Gong again." Sima Tu said suddenly.

"Sadly, Zhou Gong!" But it was Ning Yue who beat his chest and shouted.

Seeing this, Zhou Bian hurriedly comforted, "Ning Qing don't be sad, the assassination of Duke Zhou is not the royal family's wish, this is fate, and it is not possible to save it by manpower." I just don't know what Deng did for what purpose and what benefits it was for him. ”

"It must be beneficial for him to do this, but we don't know, the king, the murderer is still on the run, Ning can't avenge the old master, it's really a hatred in his heart, I implore my king to let the little one preside over this matter, one can make the first contribution to the royal family, and the other can comfort the old lord's spirit in the sky. May my king have mercy! Saying that, Ning Yue's five bodies fell to the ground and bowed down.

And Zhou Bian was waiting for Ning Yue to speak, Zhou Bian was still very confident in Ning Yue's talent, and he didn't have to worry about this matter not worrying that he dared not to do his best, and was about to use him to eradicate his potential risk factors, so Zhou Bian clapped his hands and said, "Accurate!" After that, he turned his head to look at Tu Ping again, "General Tu, please send troops to assist the Ning clan in this matter, you must do your best, and report anything to this king." ”

"Yes." Tu Ping replied simply.

So far, these few things have also been discussed, and it is decided to implement them, so Zhou Bian came to the gate of the palace with everyone and sent away Li Ding and Sima Tu, and then Ning Yue and Tu Ping were also busy with the affairs of the Deng family, but the young master went door to door with the consent of the king to visit the nobles of the city with Tsukasa Zai, which was originally the duty of the two of them, and the supervisor also went to clean up the inheritance left by the Duke of Zhou. After a while, only Taishi and Bai Gui were left, Zhou Bian thought that there was nothing to do, but the Taishi said seriously, "King, although this palace is abandoned in many places, even the Ming Hall has been repaired in the past hundred years, but there is one place that has never declined, that is the ancestral temple in the palace, and the king has to go to worship." ”

"The ancestral temple, isn't it the Taimiao outside the palace, we worshiped it yesterday, and according to the custom, we gave it to the nobles of the city." Zhou Bian said. This gizzard meat is the meat in the sacrifice used by the Son of Heaven to worship the first king, it has always been given to the ministers as glory, Confucius was preparing to set off when Lu Guoshi's journey was not smooth, but he has not moved, the disciples were anxious and asked what was going on, Confucius waited until the hour passed before he sighed and said, now it has passed the time when Lu Gong gave the sacrificial meat, but the sacrificial meat has still not arrived, Lu Gong has no cure, let's go. It can be seen that in Confucius's view, it is an important etiquette for the lord of the country to give sacrifices to the minister, and it is even related to the mediocrity of the lord, and Zhou Bian, who knows this matter well, will naturally not ignore it.

"The king doesn't know, the temple is built after King Ping moved east, it is a place to worship the first king, and the ancestral temple is built when Zhou Gongdan built Luoyang Wangcheng, worship the heavens and the place of the ancestors, the main hall of the ancestral temple is dedicated to the nine tripods cast by King Yu, the king must not go to worship ah."

Zhou Bian was stunned when he heard it, Jiuding, that is a thunderous empowerment-like word, according to legend, King Dayu of Xia divided the world into Kyushu, so that Kyushu Prefecture contributed bronze, cast Jiuding, the famous mountains and rivers of Kyushu in the country, strange things engraved in the body of Jiuding, with a tripod symbolizing a state, and Jiuding concentrated in the capital of the Xia Dynasty. This Jiuding is the name of China, the symbol of royal power, the atlas of Kyushu, and the protagonist of the King of Chuzhuang, the Yellow River, and the Central Plains. So Zhou Bian couldn't help but be excited, "Is it really Jiuding?" Is it really in this palace? ”

"That's nature, so let's take the king with me. Dr. Bai must have never been to worship, so let's go together. ”

"I have a good wish, Bai has not been able to get his wish in Luoyang for many years, so he has been tired of the master." Bai Gui arched.

Taishi smiled, turned around and made a gesture of invitation, and then took Zhou Bian and Bai Gui to the side of the right hand in the palace gate.

As the Taishi walked away, Zhou Bian couldn't help but ask on the way, "Is this Jiuding really cast by Dayu, it can't be nearly a thousand years?" ”

Unexpectedly, when the Taishi heard this, he stopped his steps violently, and turned his head with a fierce face, "King, you must respect the sages and call you King Yu." ”

At this moment, the Taishi returned to his true colors as the emperor's teacher, and when he heard the teacher's reprimand, Zhou Bian seemed to have returned to when he was in elementary school, so Zhou Bian stuck out his tongue and said, "I know, I'll pay attention to it later." ”

The Taishi's face opened again when he heard this, and his face was kind, "Let's go, king, just pass this door, remember to bow before every tripod." ”

Saying that, a few people walked into a small courtyard, although this courtyard is not big, but the old atmosphere is stronger, the bricks on the ground are broken a lot, there are grass growing from it, there are a few old trees around the courtyard, the shape of the strange shape, but this is not the point, Zhou Bian entered the courtyard gate and was attracted by an ancient hall on the north side of the courtyard.

This hall is not very tall, the broken walls and eaves, all show its antiquity, the roof tiles are no longer cyan, but gray, between the tiles or broken weeds grow, just such a dilapidated hall, it seems that it will collapse at any time, but the tenacious wooden pillars on the top of the four corners of the cornice, but still exude the momentum of not angry and self-majestic, the old majesty makes Zhou Bian, a modern person, can't help but want to kneel down and worship, in order to calm his admiration.

Feeling Zhou Bian's shock, Taishi explained on the side, "King, this hall was built in Luoyang, the capital of Dingdu, after King Wu was destroyed, and it was specially designed to place Jiuding. After the completion of the main hall, it was like this, and it has not fallen down and been repaired for hundreds of years. My martial prince, my grandson, has come here, and I am not overwhelmed by the momentum of my ancestors. ”

Although he was wearing it, when he saw the relics of the martial king in front of him, he seemed to have narrowed the distance with the mythical era in the god list, as if through this hall at a glance, he could see the invincible martial king moving in, as if he saw the majesty of the king of all the countries in China bowing to the majesty of the martial king, and the hall that had stood for hundreds of years had not fallen, how could the descendants of my royal family dare to relax in the slightest, so as to be ashamed of the ancestors. So Zhou Bian bowed deeply to the hall, and the two Taishi Bai Gui behind him also bowed.

"King, this hall is divided into two entrances, the front hall is wide, the nine tripods are stored, and the back hall is tall, offering sacrifices to my Chinese ancestors. Let's go in and say goodbye. After the Taishi bowed, he straightened up and said.

"That's right, just worshipping outside the hall can't reflect our heart of remembering the sages, so please do it, king." Bai Gui also laughed, it seems that he has always been calm and he is a little anxious.

So Zhou Bian smiled slightly and took the lead in entering the main hall, and suddenly a rotten wood musty smell came into his nose, which provoked Zhou Bian to can't help but sneeze a few times, it turns out that this hall has not been painted for a long time, and some wood has been rotten. However, Zhou Bian forced himself to adapt to the environment quickly, because as soon as he entered, he had already seen the big tripod placed in the main hall.

After stopping his sneezing, Zhou Bian walked quickly towards those big tripods, which were about twenty meters square in this hall, and there were nine big tripods standing in three horizontal rows and three vertical rows. Soon Zhou Bian walked in front of the first big tripod in front of the middle of the gate, only to see that this big tripod is about two more than two of its own, converted into a modern unit is about three meters high, three feet under the tripod, is the origin of the three-legged tripod, this foot accounts for about a small half of the total height of the tripod, and the foot is the tripod body. And there are two big seal characters engraved on the body, Zhou Bian couldn't recognize it for a while, so he tilted his head to look at the pattern next to it. The bronze tripod is cyan, but this tripod has been a little white and green due to its age, but the pattern on it has not disappeared at all, and it has to make people admire the high level of craftsmanship of the ancients. I saw that some of these patterns should be vertical and slightly wavy, and the towering ones should be mountains, and there are also some beasts and birds, flowers and trees, although these things have been exaggerated a lot, such as the bird's wings are very long, and the eyes of the beasts are extraordinarily large, but they can still be recognized at a glance.

This tripod body is round, Zhou Bian looked all the way along the tripod body, and actually turned around and walked to the back of the tripod, only to see that there were some words engraved on the back of the tripod, and he still didn't recognize one. At this time, Bai Gui came over and arched his hand, "Can the king recognize these words, if not, Bai can recognize them on his behalf." ”

"Bai Aiqing, please speak." Zhou Bian was also anxious to know what these words were.

"The king, the king of Daxia Yu divides the world into Kyushu, casts nine tripods to town, this tripod is Yanzhou, and the tripod body is these two words before. As for the words after the ding, they are, 'Jihe is only Yanzhou.' Jiuhe is both Dao, Lei Xia is Ze, and Shu and Frustration are together. Mulberry soil is both silkworm and is the soil of the hill house. The soil is black, the grass is only silky, and the wood is only stripped. The field is only in the middle and below, and it is the same for three out of ten years. Lacquer silk, weaving text. Floating in Ji, Luo, up to the river'. Bai Gui squeezed his eyes vigorously, and still recognized the words intermittently.

Unexpectedly, when he turned his head, he saw that the king was at a loss, "Don't you know what these words mean?" Zhou Bian immediately shook his head, it was too difficult to understand.

"Oh, the meaning of these words is to describe where Yanzhou is, what are the characteristics, I can't say what the specific Bai is, if the young master or Lord Tsukasa is here, you may be able to know." Bai Gui shook his head and said.

"Then does Bai Aiqing know where this Yanzhou is?"

"The northern part of today's Qi country."

Oh, that's today's northwest of Shandong, there is a Yanzhou in Shandong, presumably from this.

Thinking about Zhou Bian walking towards the next ding, this is the one on the left hand side of the door, but it is Fang Ding, four feet. Afraid that the king would be confused, Bai Gui hurriedly followed and explained, "This is Qingzhou. "That's most of Shandong today. The two of them looked around this big tripod a few times and then turned to the next tripod, behind Qingzhou is Xuzhou, and there is a round tripod.

Xuzhou further inside is Yangzhou, which is a square ding, and it seems that the placement is regular. Immediately next to Xuzhou is Jingzhou and Liangzhou, in the middle of a row is Yuzhou, on the side is Yongzhou, a door into the right hand side is Jizhou, the four corners are Fang Ding, the remaining five are round Ding. I only heard Bai Gui say, "King, according to legend, these nine tripods, five yangs and four yin, when I see it today, it is really so." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhou Bian wondered.

"The sky is round and the earth is yang, so the round tripod is yang, and the earth is yin, so the square tripod is yin. This is called the round sky, yin and yang, oblique, Kyushu Taikang. King, Jiuding is here, you can't help but worship it. ”

Oh, you should bow down, this is left by the ancestors, if it is put into the current Shang Ding is a national treasure, not to mention Xia Ding? Looking back, the Taishi saluted one by one in a proper manner, and was very respectful, so Zhou Bian hurriedly walked to the front of the Yuzhou Dingding in the middle, and began to bow down in a proper manner, and Bai Gui naturally followed behind the king.

After the nine tripods worshiped one by one, several people were already tired and their clothes were almost drenched with sweat. After worshipping those tablets that did not recognize the words in the apse, several people walked out of the hall unsatisfied, from the morning to now, it was past noon, and the stomach was really hungry.

Walking to the gate of the courtyard, Zhou Bian looked back again, and saw that the old hall was bathed in autumn light, and it seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light, adding a bit of majesty. Although this worship of Jiuding is more like a trip for the future, Zhou Bian's heart has been more determined since then, Jiuding is here, who else in the world will I be?
