Lightning pierced the sky, cutting through the cloudy sky, and the rain poured down, paying no attention to the subjects of Chu who were kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In front of these prostrating Chu people, it is the royal palace of Chu State. At this time, in the palace of the supreme king, the atmosphere is also solemn. Chu Xiao Ao Xiongkan was angry, angrily scolding his subordinates for their incompetence; The ministers were helpless, and they all bowed their heads and were silent, trembling. But only Gongzi Mitong, who was in the second row of the lower right side of the main hall, disagreed, and looked up at the roof with a posture that he didn't care about himself.

Everyone was speechless about this second son of Xiao Ao. Ever since he was ten years old and playing with Princess Gu Guo by the Danjiang River, he fell into the Danjiang River and almost lost his life, he has been so muddy and different from ordinary people. Everyone said that he had been drowned by the river and had lost his head and had become mentally retarded. Now, six years after that incident, it is no surprise that everyone is accustomed to any of his actions. He was not required to attend a national meeting like today, but I don't know which nerve he was wrong today, and he suddenly appeared here for the first time...... Everyone has no choice, but it is also a kind of helplessness.

However, at this time, in Mi Tong's heart, there was a different taste: "Chu Ruoao's grandson, Xiao Ao's second son, Mi surname, Mingtong!" Mitong? Hehe, it is indeed homophonic with the nickname 'rice bucket' in later generations. It's just that I came here because of the suspected 'He's Bi' in the Qin Emperor's underground palace, so I should have traveled to the Qin Dynasty, and no matter how bad it was, I should have traveled to the era of 'He's Bi', but now how did I travel to this irrelevant early Chu State? Although 'He's Bi' originated in Chu, it was in the early Spring and Autumn Period at this time, and it was still seventy or eighty years away from the discovery of 'He's Bi'. ”

Mitong? This name he had read in the history books in later generations, a generation of male lords, and the state of Chu began to be the king from the beginning of him! King Chu Wu! Just listening to the name is domineering enough. It's just that this Mi Tong, who has crossed over now, has long looked down on these fame and fortune, and he doesn't have much interest in the throne of King Chu Wu! On the contrary, he is more interested in "He's Bi", after all, he is here for this!

It's just that the history books record that when Bian He was offering the He's bi, he was innocent and unjustly cut off his two legs because of the incompetence and carelessness of the jade worker! The first one was cut down when his brother King Chu Li was king, and the latter one was ordered by his own king Chu Wu. It wasn't until the time of his son King Chu Wen that he ordered the jade workers to carve and chisel carefully, and he had to be in harmony.

According to the official history, the appearance of this and Shibi really has to wait until after his death!

As soon as he thought of this, Mi Tong felt that this was a deliberate trick by God. If you don't want to play tricks on him, you don't believe it if you kill him. Let's not say "He's Bi", just say that this crossing; You say that you can cross over, but can't you cross over and be a normal person? I have to travel to a mentally retarded person, or a prince with a six-year history of dementia who doesn't like to be taken care of by anyone.

Now look at this full house of civil and military, which one looks at himself with a slightly more normal eye? Alas, all with a look of contempt...... Even the minister who is now being reprimanded by Chu Xiaoao is like a grandson, and when he sees him, he still looks like nothing, like air!

Alas......

Sigh silently again in my heart!

But fortunately, since everyone doesn't care about him so much, then he can look for He's Bi with peace of mind! Didn't Bian He present jade to the three generations of monarchs of the Chu family three times in history? Then he will find Bian He first, and let the jade workers take it seriously and dig out this harmony in a down-to-earth manner. In this way, Bian He can also endure the pain of breaking his foot, and he can realize his dream as soon as possible - wouldn't it be beautiful to see the true face of He's Bi!

And in his mind, there is always a voice echoing, that is: "You go back with my strength, if you want to come back, you can only take back my power......" Although he didn't know what this meant, he vaguely felt that the reason why he crossed over here was to ask him to find this and Shibi. He is the only one who finds He's Bi, and maybe he can use his ability to travel back.

With a mind in mind, he also has a goal to pursue. is also like this, Dafan has a clue with this and Shibi, and he will not let it go! No, today's court discussion in the palace is about the fact that the beam of the Tiantai of the Chu State Sacrifice was struck by lightning, just because this Tiantai was built on Jingshan Mountain, and it is the same source as that Bian He found He's Bi! Just because of this, he came to participate in this Chu State Court meeting that he didn't care about......

"Let's talk about it, where did the widow offend the heavens, and they caused the heavens to punish the Chu State like this?" After Chu Xiaoao finished breathing, he began to blame himself again, and he felt that he was the monarch of Chu State for this matter, but he was not a Ming monarch.

In fact, others don't understand this, but as a later generation, Mi Tong's heart is like a mirror. Just now he heard that the sacrificial roof was built on a single peak in Jingshan, this peak is also called Lei Gongling, usually there are many thunder and lightning, but at this moment it is after the spring sting, the thunder and lightning rain is ordinary. You said that if you build a sacrificial rooftop on such a single peak, "Lei Gong" will not split you?

If it was struck by lightning, it would be split, but this Chu people were still dead-eyed, so they had to build it on this Lei Gong Ridge, and they built it three times in a row, and of course they were also split three times. For this reason, Chu Jun felt that someone in the Chu State had offended the heavens, so he had to sacrifice to the heavens even more......

It's just that Bu Yin has made three trigrams in a row, all of them are fierce! At present, the ministers are helpless, this is the limitation of the times, and they cannot be blamed. can only be lost by Chu Xiaoao!

"Are all the ministers dumb, huh?" Chu Xiaoao was a little angry, and asked questions again and again, but seeing that there were no words, he had to walk back and forth in front of the main hall.

After another moment, Chu Xiaoao suddenly paused, his eyes swept over everyone in the hall except for Mi Tong, and said lightly: "If anyone can build a sacrificial platform on the Lei Gongling of Jingshan Mountain, and ensure that the sacrificial platform is not disturbed by the thunder god, the widow will reward him with the fifty miles around this Jingshan Mountain, and give him this 'golden sword'!" ”

"Ahh Everyone was shocked. This reward has to be said to be generous for the Chu State at this time. Although fifty miles of land is nothing to the later Chu State, which is rich in land and resources, it is extremely generous to the Chu State in the early Spring and Autumn Period. It is important to know that at the beginning of the state of Chu, there were only fifty li of land, and later generations of monarchs expanded their territory and expanded their territory, and their territory increased somewhat. However, the state of Chu was located in the wilderness, and most of the expanded land was obtained in the hands of the barbarians; Only during the Xiongqu period of the ancestor of Chu, he ordered his three sons to cross the Gu, Deng, and Jiao countries and obtain a few enclaves, which made the Chu State expand several times, and it was barely counted as a Fang State with medium to lower strength.

Fifty miles of land is not a small amount, but it is also equipped with a "golden sword"!

You must know that the casting technology at this time is very ordinary, and the "golden sword" is not something that everyone can wear; And the "golden sword" received from the monarch has another deep meaning, which represents royal power.

Everyone's eyes shine, but no one dares to answer it. Because no one is sure that it will be completed, except for Mitong, of course!

Mi Tong looked at Chu Xiaoao's golden sword raised above his head, and was also surprised: "This ...... Isn't this the Qin Emperor Sword in the Qin Emperor's underground palace? ”

His crossing was caused by a scratch on his hand and blood dripping into this sword...... Mi Tong recalled that scene slightly, unforgettable.

It seems that it is no accident that he traveled to this era!

It's just that...... How could the sword of the King of Chu flow into the hands of Qin Shi Huang, and it was also brought into the underground palace by Emperor Qin? And why can it remain incorruptible in the Qin Emperor's underground palace for thousands of years? What's even more amazing is that it can suck blood and travel him back to this time more than 2,000 years ago?

All of this, Mi Tong was deeply puzzled. However, since the sword appeared, he wanted to get it. Only then might he be able to solve the puzzles. More importantly, if he let this sword suck some blood, will it be able to send him back to modern times? And this sword appeared at the same time as the suspected He's Bi in the Qinhuang Emperor's underground palace, presumably it has a lot to do with He's Bi, if you want to find He's Bi, you must get this sword!

Thinking of this, Mi Tong no longer had any scruples, clasped his hands into fists, took a step forward and half-knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Erchen is willing to go to Jingshan Lei Gongling to build a sacrificial rooftop, share the worries of Ao's father, and pray for the Chu room!" ”

Swish...... Everyone is looking sideways!

Everyone's eyes were focused on this second son of the prince who had a history of dementia for six years, looking up and down, in addition to being surprised, still surprised!

There was silence and silence.

There was a pause, and there was a lot of tea.

Chu Xiaoao closed his eyes and shook his head, as if to confirm whether he was hallucinating. It's just that when he opened his eyes and looked at the "mentally handicapped son" again, Mi Tong was still half-kneeling there.

Mixed with joy and sorrow, Chu Xiaoao couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

Is the demented son sick again? Or had he been playing dumb before? Or is it the manifestation of the ancestors, at this time of crisis, possessed by him to relieve the siege of the Chu State?

Chu Xiaoao was also confused for a while.

"Father Ao, the son is willing to build a sacrificial rooftop! It can also protect the roof from lightning. Mi Tong half-knelt on the ground and said loudly again.

Chu Xiaoao only reacted at this time, stared at Mi Tong and frowned: "Sacrificing to the Tiantai is a major event of my Chu State, how can it be child's play?" You...... Your mind is sometimes confused, but it's better not to be reckless! ”

In Chu Xiaoao's heart, after all, he still didn't trust Mi Tong very much, and only when he had a bright brain and saw the reward, he came to do it.

Mi Tong was still half-kneeling on the ground, and said expressionlessly: "Erchen did have a mental illness before, but now he is cured; If you want to talk about the reason, Erchen doesn't know it, it's just like having a long dream! At this time, the ministers were not impulsive, but they were completely sure that they could build a sacrificial rooftop; If Ao's father doesn't believe it, his son is willing to make a military order! ”

In the face of the long sword that was related to his own crossing, Mi Tong also fought hard, leaving no room for it.

Chu Xiaoao is also embarrassed about this matter, if he responds to it, it is good to be able to build a sacrificial platform in the future, but if it can't be built, won't it delay the opportunity to build a sacrificial roof? It's just that he shouldn't be, but there is no other way at this time, so it's better to let him try......

After thinking about it, Chu Xiaoao also felt that Mi Tong should not be talking nonsense, but he still asked: "You are completely sure, what method do you use?" Can you tell us about it? ”

You don't understand what you said, but you didn't bother to explain, and replied directly: "The law of the sons is a heavenly opportunity, please forgive the sons for not breaking it." But the retainer can promise that if he fails to build a sacrificial platform in the future, he is willing to be punished in any way; If the retainer has built a sacrificial platform, he does not need to be rewarded by Ao's father's fief, but only needs to borrow the 'golden sword' to check for a few days. ”

"Ugh!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this. All of them said in their hearts: How can there be such a fool in the world, it seems that the brain is not good......

Only then did Chu Xiaoao take a serious look at Mi Tong, and slowly returned to the topic: "How much labor and how much time does it take to build a sacrificial rooftop!" ”

Mi Tong thought to himself: Isn't it just to build a few wooden shelves, how many days can it take! But he said: "In fact, I am afraid that it will not take much time to build the altar of the festival, but it is only the spring planting season at this moment, and there are many thunderstorms during the period." Well...... Erchen thought that as long as he brought the slave laborers who originally built the sacrificial roof, one and a half months was enough! ”

Chu Xiaoao's eyes were focused, and he thought for a moment before he said, "Okay!" The widow appointed you as the doctor of the city, went to Jingshan, continued to lead the slave workers who originally built the sacrificial rooftop, and built the sacrificial rooftop for Dachu, with a construction period of two months! All relevant officials such as Dr. Jingshanyi and Jingshan Jiyin took the construction of the sacrificial platform as the first term, actively assisted, and listened to their dispatch, and there was no mistake! ”

"No!" Everyone responded in unison.

Chu Xiaoao nodded slightly, and continued: "If this sacrificial platform can be completed on time, the widow will definitely be rewarded for his meritorious deeds; In addition, he will never break his promise! However, Tong'er, if it can't be completed, the widow will not pursue your crime of defrauding the king, but only delay the sacrifice of the country, I'm afraid...... Even the widow won't be able to protect you! Do you understand the consequences? ”

Mi Tong smiled faintly and responded: "Erchen understands, Father Ao just waits for good news!" If there is nothing else, Erchen wants to retire first, go back and prepare for preparation, so that he can set off at any time! ”

To be honest, Mi Tong is still a little unaccustomed to this kind of occasion, and the people who have traveled through the later generations have long been accustomed to the equality of everyone, how can they be so groveling to kneel and speak. Even my own father doesn't have to be like that.

Chu Xiaoao nodded slowly, indicating his promise. Mi Tong immediately got up, always maintained that intriguing smile on his face, and walked out of the main hall vigorously.

Looking at Mi Tong's departure, the ministers sighed at each other. No one believes that a fool can build a sacrificial platform that the entire Chu State is helpless! What's even more puzzling is why Jun Ao agreed to him! It's just that none of them has a good way, and none of them dares to speak up; Of course, there are also people who are waiting to see the jokes......

In fact, Chu Xiaoao's heart is also mixed, and he is not optimistic about the construction of the sacrificial rooftop by Mitong! It's just that it is imperative to build a sacrificial platform in the Chu State, otherwise it will not be able to win the hearts of the people of Chu. It would be good if the altar could be built on time; If it is not built well, it will have to be used as a scapegoat. After all, the Chu people have gone through ups and downs, moved from the Central Plains to the south, and built the country with great difficulty, and must not fall into their own hands......
