Chapter 22 Winning the Crown

"King Qin is kind, this king is deeply grateful-" Without saying a word, Ji Yan found that he had the urge to cry. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Xiqi is the birthplace of the Zhou people, Fengming Qishan is the eternal auspicious Rui of the Zhou people; when the king of Zhou Ping gave all his homeland to the Qin people to thank the Qin people for helping to restore the country, he moved east to Luoyang, I thought that the two countries with the same source can support each other, I don't want to be a few hundred years later, things are wrong, the Zhou family has become the lord of the dying, but the Qin country has become a strong guest, seeing things and thinking about feelings, how can the feelings be embarrassed? How not to make him sigh? Fortunately, this body has changed a soul, but there is no real crying. After a pause, Ji Yan continued: "Delicious now, King Qin, please, everyone!" ”

Yingdang continued to laugh: "It's good that the Son of Heaven doesn't dislike my Qin people's things!" Come and eat! ”

The hall suddenly became lively, and the ministers and generals of the Qin State and even the concubines and concubines all took up their big sleeves and tore the meat by hand, eating meat in large pieces, and the lord drank alcohol. Manners? These things don't exist in the minds of the Qin people. The soldiers of the Qin army who entered Luoyang were all fierce and had a large amount of food, and they were the most popular among Yingdang, Meng Ben, and Ren Contempt.

Yingdang eats five or six large breads for each meal, four or five catties of dried meat, and one or two jars of spirits. In his original imagination, no matter how poor the Son of Heaven of Luoyang is, there will always be good wine and meat, and he will not be able to put on a royal banquet and even have a meal. But in fact, the current Zhou family is already impoverished to the point that the monarch of a powerful country like him can't imagine, and the pork on both sides has been prepared by Ji Yong with all his painstaking efforts.

After the ministers of the Zhou Chamber were restrained for a while, they also began to eat and drink freely at the signal of the Son of Heaven. After all, although the King of Qin violated etiquette today, but since the Warring States period, it has long been a bad etiquette, Sven swept the floor, as long as the Zhou room is not destroyed, everything is too lazy to care, since you want to send delicious food, don't eat in vain!

Everyone threw off their arms and began to eat and drink, and the inside and outside of the central hall suddenly became a hot drinking and banquet venue. Inside the hall, Zhou Qin Junchen ate and drank from the mountains, and outside the hall, a thousand Qin army knights had a gluttonous feast, but they were not allowed to drink.

Ji Yan has been thinking about how to bring the topic to Jiuding, and after three rounds of drinking, he turned his head to Yingdang, who was eating and drinking violently, and said: "King Qin, today you and my brother's state are eating in the same case, and this king is very happy." However, your army has strict laws, and many soldiers outside eat very restrainedly, and they are not allowed to drink wine, isn't it a big disappointment? ”

When Yingdang heard this, he paused for a moment and laughed: "Since King Zhou said so, this king will make an exception today and let these cubs drink a bowl." ”

Ji Yan said again: "Although the royal city is dilapidated, after all, it has been established for hundreds of years, and the scenery in it is difficult to see from the outside. Why do you let these soldiers look around? It's not in vain. ”

Yingdang looked at this young man in surprise, thinking that you are so hospitable? Don't you know that I'm not a good guest? What a child who hasn't grown up! There was another burst of laughter in his mouth: "Hahaha, King Zhou is good, but this king is disrespectful." In vain, let the sergeants drink a bowl of wine, and then go around the palace to look around. ”

Bai Qi gave the order at the order. The soldiers of the Qin army were very excited after receiving the order, so they stuffed the wine and food into their stomachs like a storm, and immediately after filling their stomachs, they looked strange in groups in the royal city. After all, these soldiers are stationed in the military camp all the year round to drive the battlefield, and most of them are civilian children born in the barren mountains and wilderness, and they have never dreamed that they can visit the world's largest capital like Luoyang Wangcheng.

After the Qin army soldiers wandered away in a hurry, they found that the entire palace was not a little interesting, and it was quite inferior to Xianyang, so they finally all gathered around Jiuding in front of Jiuding to comment on it, thinking that only the unique Jiuding in the world is what Xianyang does not have. The smoky smell of wine and the loud noise made Zhongdingtai a place of wine shops in an instant.

The hall also began to loosen and become enthusiastic. After eating and drinking violently for a while, he was already red and hot, and his mind was slightly drunk, and when he heard the loud noise of the sergeant outside the hall, he frowned and asked loudly, "What is the noise outside?" ”

The ministers of the Qin State shook their heads blankly.

Yan Shu kept the movement of the accident, knowing that these Qin army soldiers were talking about Jiuding, hearing Yingdang's question, remembering what the Son of Heaven said about Jiuding yesterday, he couldn't help but look at Ji Yan.

Ji Yan was secretly happy in his heart, and nodded slightly towards Yan Shu.

Yan Shuo understood in his heart, looked at Yingdang and said loudly: "They seem to be watching Jiuding." ”

"Jiuding?" Yingdang asked unconsciously, but suddenly became excited, Jiuding is a good thing! That represents the supreme authority of the Son of Heaven. Just now, I was still thinking that I would get nothing when I came to Luoyang this time, and then went back in a gloomy way, why didn't I think of this thing? Jiuding is an artifact of royal power, if Qin gets Jiuding, it is the destiny of heaven, which is enough to inspire Qin people to shock the world! Isn't bringing back Jiuding the biggest result?

Once this idea is generated, it will grow uncontrollably, and the reddish face brought by the alcohol suddenly became red, and Yingdang stared at Ji Yan with blood-red eyes, and said angrily: "This king has heard that Jiuding is the treasure of the Zhou family, and I dare to ask the king of Zhou, what is the weight?"

Ji Yan suppressed the excitement in his heart and said lightly: "Since it is a treasure, no one weighs it." ”

Yingdang laughed and said, "Really? The king wanted to weigh it! Let's go, go out and have a look. ”

The concubines immediately burst into laughter, and some even clapped their hands and cheered, and they went out of the hall and went straight to Jiuding in Zhongding Square. When a group of onlookers saw the arrival of the king, they hurriedly made way of a passage.

Ji Yan was overjoyed when he saw this, so he also took Yan Shu and a group of ministers to follow behind and came to Jiuding.

Yingdang carefully looked at the nine bronze tripods, turned his head to look at Yan Shu behind him after a long time, and asked with a mocking face: "Dare to ask the old lady, is Jiuding originally a thing of the Zhou room?" ”

Yan Shu thought for a while, looked at Ji Yan, and saw that he didn't have a special explanation, so he shook his head and said: "This Jiuding is made by King Xia Yu collecting the gold of Kyushu and casting one tripod each. Dingzu and Ding'er have ancient dragon glyphs, which are also known as the Nine Dragons Shending. The body of the tripod is engraved with the number of land tributes and the situation of mountains and rivers in Honshu. Xia passed on Shang, Shang passed on Zhou, because it was the destiny of heaven, so it became a town artifact. ”

"How much does Dading weigh?" Meng Ben suddenly interjected on the side, and his voice was like thunder.

Yan Shu couldn't help frowning tightly, but he smiled reluctantly: "Jiuding is grand, there is no record of any weighing, and no one knows how heavy." After King Wu destroyed the Shang, he transported it from Chaoge to Hojing, and King Ping moved eastward, and transported it from Hojing to Luoyang, because there was no vehicle that could pull such a heavy load, so all of them were placed on the rolling wood, and then pulled by soldiers. National history records: For every more than 10,000 people, Jiuding used more than 100,000 manpower, of course, there may be a lot of exaggeration. According to Lao Chen's calculations, a tripod is about thousands of catties! ”

The soldiers who were a few steps away were amazed, and the concubines on the periphery were even more amazed.

Yingdang remained silent, and continued to ask Yan Shu: "Which is the peak of Yongzhou?" ”

Yan Shu pointed to the round tripod in the center on the right and said, "That is the Yongzhou tripod." ”

Yingdang didn't speak anymore and strode over. I saw that the Yongzhou Dading stood majestically on the two-foot-high bronze turtle-shaped pedestal, the tripod body was covered with spotted patina, and the four thick tripod feet also had a thick layer of green rust, and a huge ancient "Yong" character on the tripod body was faintly recognizable, and the big river east fold in the mountain and river lines was also looming. He stared intently at the word "Yong", gently stroked the raised glyph, and said to himself: "Yongding, Qin Dingye!" Yongding, Yongding, you have been waiting in Luoyang for hundreds of years, and it is time to return to your homeland and be my artifact of the kingship of Great Qin. When I return to Xianyang, this king will stand you in the central square to escort my great Qin Dong. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly burst into a wild laugh, slapped Ding Gao vigorously and shouted: "This king wants to move Jiuding back to Xianyang!" ”

The people of the Qin State suddenly shouted: "Long live the King of Qin!" "Jiuding returns to Qin!"

All the ministers of the Zhou room were shocked, and looked at their young son Ji Yan in fear, and Ji Yong shouted in despair: "Your Majesty, Jiuding is an artifact that protects the country, if it is moved, I am afraid that there will be a catastrophe!" Please think of my king to stop the encroachment of the king of Qin. ”

Ji Yanxin said: It's not easy to wait until this moment, and you have to add fuel and fire, how can you stop it? said lightly: "It's just nine bronze tripods, you can move them if you want to!" As he spoke, he looked at Yingdang, his eyes were full of contempt, "I'm afraid that Jiuding is too heavy, and some people want to move it but can't move it." ”

When Meng Ben and Ren Cong heard this, they both rushed to Yingdang's side, clasped their fists and bowed: "Weichen is willing to carry the crown for my king." ”

Yingdang's face was happy: "Okay, you two go and carry it separately, whoever can carry it to the widow's car, the widow will crown him as the protector of Dingjun and eat ten thousand households." ”

The two big men were pleasantly surprised, and they took off their armor in two strokes, and then ripped off their shirts, and their upper bodies were naked, revealing their bronzed shoulders, and their muscles bulged high like small mountain bags. Both of them were eager to try, constantly moving the joints on their bodies, making a crackling sound like firecrackers.

Bai Qi has been watching coldly, and he has a faint bad feeling about King Qin's desire to move away Jiuding, and when he saw the two of them like this, he said in a deep voice: "Meng Ben, don't be contemptible!" ”

Meng Ben and Ren Qi are both from Bai Qi's subordinates, and they have always respected this silent but discerning boss, although the two were later promoted by the King of Qin as personal guards because of their amazing bravery, they still obeyed Bai Qi's words. Hearing this now, I vaguely felt that I was too reckless, and I couldn't help but hesitate.

Ji Yan saw that their fiery passion seemed to be extinguished by a basin of cold water in Baiqi, and secretly exclaimed that it was not good, so he said to Ji Yong in a loud voice: "Uncle Wang, you don't have to worry, you see, they can't move my Zhou Room Jiuding at all, and they don't even have the courage to try!" ”

Ji Yong is in a hurry, if they don't move, isn't this a great thing? Why is our Son of Heaven still stimulating others with rumors and rumors? What a child who doesn't know the world! couldn't help but look at Ji Yan with a sad heart, his angry lips trembled for a while, and he couldn't speak.

Meng Ben is a fiery temper, how can he stand the ridicule of a weak-crowned young man, when he heard this, he immediately became enthusiastic, and instantly put Bai Qi's drinking stop behind, strode towards the Yongzhou Ding, which was centered on the right, and drank in his mouth: "Either move this Ding, or ambush the corpse here!" ”

Coming to the front of Yongding, Meng Ben touched the round and slippery body of the tripod that had nowhere to grasp, but he turned around twice but he didn't know where to start, and he was so anxious that his face was red and sweating like rain.

Ren Yan was anxious on the side, and after watching it for a while, he reminded Meng Ben: "Dingzu, grasp Dingzu." ”

Meng Ben's eyes lit up, yes, why didn't you think of this? Quickly bent down and grabbed Dingzu and tried it, yes, one hand can hold a Dingzu. He lifted his strength upwards, but he didn't move. So he took two steps back, rubbed his two big hands together, tightened the belt tightly, wiped the sweat on his hands on his bottom, his eyes were on fire, and he walked slowly over again, and each step made a loud "bang" on the bluestone floor.

Ren was excited, and shouted rhythmically in his mouth, "Meng Ben, Meng Ben." "Cheer it on. The Qin sergeant shouted along with Ren Contempt's shout: "Meng Ben, Meng Ben." "Thousands of people shouted in unison, like a mountain shouting and a tsunami.
