The long-closed windows were opened one after another, and Zhao Wuxian, escorted by heavily armed guards, stepped into the Ming Hall of the Great Temple of the Royal Palace, his shadow stretched by the sunlight projected outside the window, looking huge and hideous.

The old lady of the Zhou room led the way, with a sad face.

The so-called Ming Hall is the temple of the ancestors of the dynasty, which was called "Shi Room" in the Xia Dynasty, called "Chongwu" in the Yin Shang Dynasty, called "Ming Hall" in Zhou, and called "Tai Temple" in later generations.

This is a Hongda complex with three gates and three halls. Originally, this was a forbidden place that outsiders were not allowed to enter except for the descendants of the Zhou family. However, after Zhao Wuxian succeeded in the regent and coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he did not give up and proposed to watch Jiuding in the Ming Hall.

This is an extremely rude request, and everyone in the Zhou room, from the young and weak son of heaven to the old lady, is shocked. But seeing that the only ones who could rely on Liu and Shan Ergong as the royal family had also been bought by Zhao Guo's heavy money, they could only bow their heads and give in, and had to agree to this matter.

The door of Mingtang has been closed since the collapse of King Zhou Jing, and today it is only seen again, the long-lost sunlight shines on the hardwood floor at the soles of the feet, and pairs of Liang pillars appear on the left and right, and the beams and pillars are carved with dragons, kui and other rui beasts, which extend to the space in the distance.

Zhao Wuxian walked between the souls of the ancestors of the Zhou Dynasty in the past dynasties, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the huge hall, he glanced at the Ming Hall in a blink of an eye, but saw that the building was old, the vermilion paint on the pillars fell off, and even the flag showed a faded color, and he couldn't help but think: "The Zhou room is about to run out, and it can be seen from this Ming Hall that has not been repaired for a long time." ”

Soon, the double gate of the double hall had passed, and when he entered the spacious high platform that was only one step away from the temple of civil and martial arts, the old lady's footsteps stopped.

I don't know if it's because I've been gone for too long, or if I'm haggard, the old lady looks pale and weak, languishing, and has a sad face. It was in stark contrast to Zhao Wuxian, who was burly and majestic behind him, with a more high-spirited expression.

He looked at the large temple dedicated to King Wen and King Wu above, and felt ashamed.

And on the steps leading to the place, there was an old man who seemed to be a palace servant dozing......

Taifu couldn't count on anyone, so he could only reluctantly turn around: "Uncle...... Jiuding, just place it here......"

Zhao Wuxian looked around, and sure enough, he saw that on this high platform, there were nine copper tripods of different shapes and sizes......

"This is Jiuding ......" Seeing the real thing, Zhao Wuxian felt lucky.

The Xia Shang dynasty of the pre-Qin dynasty paid attention to "the major affairs of the country, in the worship and Rong". The most important thing in the country is to sacrifice and fight, and the most important ritual in the sacrifice is the tripod. According to the etiquette system, there is a strict limit on the number of tripods used by people of different ranks, otherwise it is a trespassing. "Nine tripods of the Son of Heaven, seven princes, five doctors, and three Yuanshi", only the Son of Heaven deserves to enjoy the "Nine Dings"!

Legend has it that the first person to cast and own Jiuding was Xia Yu, who leveled the floods, fixed the land, and divided the whole world into Kyushu, namely Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Yongzhou, and Liangzhou. After setting Kyushu, Yu collected the copper tribute of various tribes in Kyushu and cast it into Jiuding. And send people in advance to paint the famous mountains and rivers, places of beauty, and strange things in various states of the country into an atlas, and then send craftsmen to engrave these paintings on the Jiuding, with a tripod symbolizing a state. Since then, Jiuding has become a symbol of the supremacy of royal power and a national treasure of Xia, Shang and Wednesday

After getting closer, Zhao Wuxian saw clearly the old blue spots on Jiuding, and it could be seen that they had been beaten by wind and rain for a long time. is also, "Xia De declined, Ding moved to Yin; Yin De declined, and Ding moved to Zhou. "It has been passed down to the present for at least 1,500 years.

In the original history, after this, Zhou Ding would also be captured by the Qin State, but after Qin, Jiuding suddenly disappeared. Although the later Han Dynasty once obtained a big tripod by chance, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was happy to change the Yuan "Yuan Ding", it was forged......

Today, Zhao Wuxian can see this treasure of the town and country that was submerged in Surabaya in later generations, which is really a kind of luck.

He thought that Jiuding must be old and decaying things after thousands of years, but he never imagined that after getting closer, they would be so beautiful. There are nine tripods in total, one round and eight square, one large and eight small, but the small ones are also taller than people, weighing at least seven or eight hundred catties. Although there are some blue spots on it, most of the places are still smooth and shiny, and they seem to sparkle in the sun.

"This is Yongzhou Ding, also known as Longwen Chiding......" pointed to a four-legged square tripod with a slightly red color and a dragon pattern on the mountain, and the old lady introduced it.

Then there is Yanzhou Ding, Qingzhou Ding, Xuzhou Ding, Yangzhou Ding, Jingzhou Ding, Yuzhou Ding, Liangzhou Ding, each Ding's color is different, and those strange patterns with different shapes on the Ding, but also add the simplicity and mystery of the Ding. Some are turtles, snakes, red birds, green dragons, white tigers and other wild beasts, and some are hideous monsters with unnamed mountain and sea scriptures, each representing the mountains, sacred beasts, and legends of the state.

But they are the same as Yongzhou Ding, it is a four-legged square tripod, although the patterns are different, but the style is the same, as if it was cast in a mold.

However, the tripod in the middle is different.

This is a three-legged round tripod that is twice as large as the other eight tripods, the color is black and bright, the four-sided relief on the tripod is surrounded by Jingwei, Xuanniao, phoenix birds, etc., and the main body tells an ancient story: the great war between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou: the wilderness of Jizhou, the dragon and animal water, the wind and rain, the wind and rain. The Yellow Emperor was the goddess of heaven, and the rain stopped, so he killed Chi You......

"This is Jizhou Ding, also known as Fengwen Xuanding."

Zhao Wuxian stood in front of this big ding, so shocked that he couldn't speak, this head has far surpassed Si Mu Wu, can the Xia Dynasty really have such technology? Or is it as later generations say, Jiuding is actually the creation of Yin Zhou?

But in any case, at least what he has in front of him is the fake Jiuding.

"Why is the biggest in the middle Jizhou Ding instead of Yuzhou Ding?" Zhao Wuxian asked the old lady.

"In "Yu Gong" Kyushu, Jizhou is the first of Kyushu, and it is also the middle earth of the world at that time. Tang Yao is Pingyang, Yu Shun is Puban, Xia Yu is Anyi, all in the territory of ancient Jizhou, is the old Kyushu Dingzhong, when Jizhou Ding is the first. ”

"I see!"

It's really sleepy and comes to the pillow, this is something that can be used to make a big fuss, Zhao Wuxian was overjoyed, looked around the huge Jizhou Ding, and even stepped forward and reached out to touch it, and then liked it more and more, and suddenly said: "This Jizhou Ding, the widow wants to move it to Yecheng, to the north of the town, but what?" ”

……

"What! Move to Yecheng! ”

The old lady was so shocked that she couldn't even say anything, and this exclamation even woke up the old palace servant who was sleeping on the steps, and yawned to herself.

Six hundred years have passed since King Wu of Zhou moved Jiuding from Chaoge to Luoyi. In the first three hundred years, Jiuding was stable, but in the last three hundred years, it was often coveted.

The most serious one was more than 100 years ago, when the overlord King Chuzhuang made a northern expedition to Lu Hun Zhirong, marched to the border of the Zhou Dynasty, and watched the troops on the outskirts of Zhou to show his strength. King Zhou Ding sent the doctor Wang Sun Man to the labor army. King Chuzhuang asked Wang Sunman about the size and weight of the nine tripods. That means that it has the meaning of taking Zhou Ding and replacing it.

At that time, the wise Wang Sun Man knew that he had a bad heart, and replied-for-tat: "The rise and fall of a country lies in virtue, not in Ding, although the Zhou royal family is weak, but the mandate of heaven has not changed, Jiuding is important, you can't ask it!" “

This sentence blocked King Chuzhuang's non-divisive thoughts, after all, at that time, the Jin State, the Qi State, and the Qin State were still strong, and the Chu State was not powerful enough to command the world, so he could only return in a huff, but before leaving, he put down the cruel words: Jiuding is nothing unusual, there is enough copper, anyone can cast, and the various weapons captured by Chu on the battlefield are enough to cast nine hundred Ding. ”

But after all, the state of Chu only dominated the south and arrogantly became the king, so there was no way to really cast Jiuding and expand its rule to the north.

Now more than a hundred years have passed, and the Zhou room is even more exhausted than at that time, and the princes are destroyed and destroyed, and there are no princes who can come to defend the Zhou room and fight for them......

Zhao Wuxian took this opportunity to propose the relocation of Ding, which was far more than the arrogance of King Chuzhuang!

The person in front of him is high-sounding, named Uncle and Regent, but in fact he is Zhou's biggest enemy, a thief who steals the world!

Mrs. Zhou was indignant in his heart, he straightened his waist, stood in front of Da Ding, and replied forcefully: "Uncle is wrong!" Just as the poem "Poem" said: 'Haotian has a destiny, and the second queen receives it', King Wen is ordained, King Wu is killed, and there is a great merit in Haotian, so it is the destiny of heaven to set in Luoyi! Now the lord plans to move to Ding, this is to make the mountains and rivers shake, and the princes are on the side of the big thing, if today's fate has not changed, this move must not be done! ”

"Destiny?"

Zhao Wuxian sneered: "I am shallow in knowledge, and I don't know as much about ancient things as Taifu, but I know that there are two sentences in the book. ”

"But there is no relative in the sky, and there is only one in respect; The people are always cherished, and they are benevolent! ”

"The emperor has no relatives, only virtue is supplemented; The people's hearts are impermanent, but they are benevolent. ”

The meaning of these two sentences is that God does not have a fixed relative, but is only close to those who respect Him; The people do not have to be sympathetic, but they are only grateful to those who are benevolent. The emperor does not have fixed relatives, but is close to virtuous people; The hearts of the people are fickle and will only remember those who have given them favors......

"Xia Yu and Shang Tang, didn't they get the mandate of heaven to build a temple in the first place? But Xia Wei was in a daze, and Jiuding moved to Yin for 600 years. The Shang Dynasty was brutal, and Jiuding moved to Luoyi again, and it has been 600 years. It can be seen from this that the society is impermanent, even if it is Tianzuo Mingde and King Wen and King Wu, but there is an end after all. ”

Zhao Wuxian said, pointed to Jizhou Ding and said: "If Zhou's virtue is as beautiful and bright as in the past, although Jiuding is small, it will be so heavy that it will not be able to move away with an army of 30,000." If Zhou's virtue is treacherous and unconscious, and he loses the will of heaven, no matter how big Jiuding is, it will be so light that more than ten Wu Ben can be moved away...... The tripod of Jizhou, regardless of Xia and Shang, are all guarding in Jizhou, and now the widow is just putting it in its own position, the second and third sons, what are you still doing in a daze, move to Ding! ”

"No, no!"

The old lady tried to stop it with tears in her eyes, but was pulled aside by the guards, and could only watch as hundreds of Zhao craftsmen Wu Ben rushed in from Mingtang, and they couldn't help but say, those who took the ropes took the ropes, and those who carried the flat burdens carried the flat burdens, and very skillfully put Jizhou Ding on a big cart and began to slowly push it out.

The old lady's eyes were about to bulge, and seeing that he couldn't stop it, he simply slammed into the steps in the hall, preparing to die in his duties.

Seeing that he was about to burst out of his brain, the old man on the steps leading from the high platform to the Temple of Wenwu took a few steps down and stopped Taifu in front of the steps.

"The way of heaven is beneficial but not harmful; The way of man is not to fight. If Zhou's destiny is there, although Jizhou Ding is moved, it will not affect its social organization; If Zhou Zhi's destiny is not there, even if you commit suicide here, you can't stop the building from collapsing, why is Taifu doing this? ”

Zhao Wuxian was originally the old man who was the palace servant guarding the temple, so he didn't care about him, who expected that after saying a rather philosophical sentence, the old lady of the Zhou room grabbed the old man and cried: "Master, having said that, but Zhao Hou purely uses force and has no virtue in the world, how can Jiuding let the virtuous people go!?" ”

"Master?"

Zhao Wuxian turned his head and took a closer look at the old man's appearance, he was mediocre, even if he had amazing wisdom, he was all restrained to the old face, this old lady has served the Zhou royal family for at least forty years, older than him, and more knowledgeable, who is it?

As soon as he raised his hand, Zhao Wuxian stopped everyone from moving to Ding, and turned to salute the old man: "Isn't this the master who persuaded Prince Ren to 'fight without fighting', I don't know what to call it?" ”

The old man also saluted: "I am just a vulgar person in the countryside, how dare I let the prince ask?" Then he turned and left.

Zhao Wuxian had a faint guess in his heart, how could he let him go, catch up and bow again: "Please Weng must tell the boy's name!" ”

Zhao Junhu blocked the way, the old man smiled helplessly, turned his head from the steps, and the wind blew the bun like snow, brushing over the simple Ge linen clothes. He tied his hands, faced the top of Kyushu, turned his back to the temple of civil and military affairs, layers of heavy clouds, and said lightly: "I'm ashamed, I am the history of the Zhou Shou Tibetan Room forty years ago, old and ......."
