Chapter Forty-Six: The Sacred Weapon of China: Jiuding
Huang Shigong and Wei Yi glanced at each other, bowed their heads slightly, and greatly appreciated Qin Yiren's move.
Although the Zhou room is dead, Zhou Tianzi is still a symbol, symbolizing the previous dynasty and symbolizing the Zhou room. If Qin Yiren wanted to kill him, it would be too simple, it would be just the power of a wrestler. However, it was only a quick and reckless move for the sake of the moment.
If you kill King Zhou, you will definitely be infamous on your back, and countless people will scold Qin Yiren for being cruel and intolerable.
This is secondary, and the main thing is that it will lose hearts and minds and disappoint.
Qin Yiren treated King Zhou Yun well, helped him with his own hands, and undressed him, which would be praised by people, praised by others, and would be famous. Naturally, it will be able to gather people's hopes and win people's hearts, especially the people's hearts of the king of Luoyang will be attached to the Qin State.
It can be said that Qin Yiren has maximized the value of King Zhou.
"This ......" King Zhou Yu only felt a warmth on his body, and a robe was draped over himself, and he was immediately surprised by Mo Ming, his mouth was wide open, his eyes were round, and he looked like he was daydreaming.
For King Zhou Yun, he thinks that his crime is extremely evil, firstly, because King Qin Wu died in Luoyang, Qin State destroyed Zhou this time, won't he take revenge for King Qin Wu? Although King Wu of Qin's death was self-inflicted, God knows if the Qin State would use this as an excuse to retaliate against the Zhou family. The second is that King Zhou Yu jumped out this time and ordered the Duke of Western Zhou to ask Qin, it can be said that he is the culprit, and it is normal for Qin to punish him.
Judging from the current situation, Qin Yiren didn't seem to be asking about the crime, which was a big surprise to King Zhou, and he couldn't be surprised if he wasn't surprised.
Immediately afterwards, King Zhou Yu was overjoyed, shaking a snow-white head, and thanked Qin Yiren: "Thank you, the grandson of the king!" Thank you for the grace of the prince and grandson not to kill! ”
"Although you are relieved, not only will Daqin not kill you, but will also continue the Zhou Dynasty Temple." Qin Yiren smiled all over his face. A word of relief.
Ending a dynasty can kill the emperor of the previous dynasty, but it will not destroy the temple of the previous dynasty, which is a inheritance. After King Wu of Zhou fell, although he killed the king of Zhou, he did not destroy the temple of Yin Shangzong, but was named the "Song" country and continued the temple of Yin Shangzong.
If Qin Yiren wants to destroy the temple of the Zhou Dynasty, it is a very simple matter, just an order. It's just that. That will be blamed and infamy, it is better to stay in the temple of the Zhou Dynasty, and you can get a good name.
You know, the Zhou room is dead. If you want to keep its temple, you just send a few people to guard it. You can also get a good name. It's a good deal.
"Really?" King Zhou never expected that Qin Yiren would be so good at talking, not only sparing him, but also keeping the Zhou Sect Temple, which made him a little unbelievable.
"It's true!" Qin Yiren nodded heavily, and his voice was not high. But the tone was firm.
"Great Qin is merciful!" King Zhou Yun was so excited that tears flowed, and he thanked Qin Yiren vigorously.
For King Zhou Xun, he is the king of the dead country, and he feels sorry for his ancestors. There is no face under the spring to meet the ancestors and ancestors. If he could keep the temple, his shame would be much better.
"Thank you, the grandson of the king!" The ministers of King Zhou were also excited, and thanked Qin Yiren.
Although these ministers are incompetent, courageous and ignorant straw bales, when it comes to loyalty, they are really good. Because of the decay of the Zhou family, as long as there is a slight disloyalty, they will leave other countries, and they can stay and live and die with the Zhou family, this loyalty does not need to be doubted.
"Let's go, let's go into town!" Qin Yiren held on to King Zhou's hand, and the two walked side by side, which made King Zhou Xun very excited, and he was even more relieved, there would be no problem with his life.
In this way, Qin Yiren entered Luoyang City, and at a glance, he was surprised and regretful.
What is surprising is that Luoyang, the royal capital, is very majestic, and there are many palaces in the city, one after another, I don't know how many. Moreover, these palaces are majestic and majestic, and they are the symbols of the Zhou Dynasty at its peak.
If nothing else, just look at these palaces to know how strong the Zhou royal family was back then, that is, it was as strong as King Wu of Zhou.
It is a pity that there are no people in the whole Luoyang City, and there are very few people in the house, and it is very deserted, like a living coffin. The Zhou room is the most conservative, did not keep up with the pace of the times, to the Warring States Period, is still abiding by the Zhou Gongcheng law, is still implementing the Jingtian system, which seriously restricts the enthusiasm of the people of the country, as long as possible, those who can flee the country have fled the country, yes, Luoyang's mouth is particularly small.
Moreover, the Zhou palace is old and dilapidated, which is caused by disrepair.
"Leave the traces of Zhou Gong in vain, but not Zhou Gong's knowledge!" Qin Yiren was very emotional.
Luoyang was built by the Duke of Zhou, and was called "Luoyi" at that time. The reason why the Duke of Zhou repaired Luoyang was to take advantage of the favorable geographical location here and accept the courtiers of the princes.
The birthplace of the Zhou Dynasty is between Qifeng in Shaanxi, which is developed from a small tribe, and King Wu of Zhou succeeded in cutting down the Zhou, although it was to seize the Yin Shang world, but because the population of the Zhou tribe is really not much, it can only shrink in the pickaxe capital, unable to enter the Central Plains, and does not take the capital of the Zhou Dynasty as the capital, which is a clear proof.
The Zhou family owned the world and implemented a feudal system, and a large number of princes were divided into feudal places. How does this restrain these princes? That's what gets a tricky question.
At that time, the way of restricting the princes was mostly "court meeting", which was equivalent to the "debriefing" of later generations. Of course, the Son of Heaven accepted the courtiers of the princes, in addition to restraining the princes, listening to the princes' reports on their achievements, and rewarding or reducing the fiefdom, there was also a purpose, that is, to accept tribute.
It is natural for the princes to pay tribute to the Son of Heaven, and whenever the princes meet the Son of Heaven, they have to carry a large amount of tribute. The daily expenses of the Zhou Chamber mainly rely on these tributes, which are extremely important to the Zhou Chamber.
The capital of the Zhou Chamber was in Hojing, and it was too inconvenient for the princes to rush to Chaotianzi from all over the country.
For example, Jiang Ziya's fiefdom is the State of Qi, which is the land of modern Shandong. If Jiang Ziya is the son of heaven, he will rush from Shandong to Haojing, west of Xi'an, Shaanxi, and this distance will be four or five thousand miles. Such a long distance, if you take a hundred miles a day, it will take more than a month or two to get to Hojing. After seeing the Son of Heaven, he rushed back to Shandong from Hojing, and it would take more than two months. This round trip takes almost three months just to spend on the road.
Of course, this is only a theoretical calculation, and it will take longer to take into account the weather changes, whether there are floods and landslides, and whether the roads are impassable.
After King Wu of Zhou's war. It didn't take long for him to die, leaving Jiang Ziya, Zhou Gong and Zhao Gong as auxiliary ministers. Jiang Ziya was mainly in charge of the army, Zhao Gong was mainly in charge of the law, and Zhou Gong was mainly in charge of internal affairs. How to solve the problem that the princes were too far away from the emperor fell on the shoulders of the Duke of Zhou.
The Duke of Zhou decided to repair Luoyang and meet the princes in Luoyang.
The reason why Luoyang was chosen is because Luoyang "lives in the middle of the world", rushing to Luoyang from the four directions of east, west, north and south, and the distance is about the same, which can greatly shorten the distance and save time.
After the completion of Luoyang. Zhou Tianzi set out from Haojing and rushed to Luoyang to accept the courtship of the princes, but the result was that the Son of Heaven and the princes each walked halfway, and they were all happy, and the world was convenient.
Since then. Luoyang has become an extremely important place for the Zhou family, and every time the princes meet the Son of Heaven. Zhou Tianzi is going to Luoyang. When it came to King Zhou You. King Zhou You's "Beacon Fire Play Princes" made the heavens angry and resentful, and when Xirong attacked Haojing, there were no princes to bird him, and King Zhou You was killed by Xirong.
King Zhou Ping invited the Qin tribe to send troops to recover Hojing. However. Hokyung has been destroyed by the Rong people, and the palace has been burned down. King Zhou Ping saw the broken appearance of Hojing in his eyes, and his heart was cold, and he didn't want to stay in Hojing anymore. Determined to move east to Luoyang.
The reason why King Zhou Ping decided to go to Luoyang instead of going somewhere else was because the palace in Luoyang was intact. In this way, the Zhou room was moved from Hojing to Luoyang, the Western Zhou Dynasty ended, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty began, and the famous "Spring and Autumn Warring States" controversy began.
When Qin Yiren entered Luoyang, all he saw were the ruins of Zhou Gong. Recalling that day, when Zhou Gong was in the past, the Zhou room was very strong, commanding the world, and not daring to disobey. Now, leaving the ruins of Zhou Gong in vain, the Zhou room has perished, and it is impossible for Qin Yiren not to sigh.
"It's a pity, but the good palace has ended up in such a miserable situation." Huang Shigong, Wei Yu and Sima Terrier were also full of emotion.
"Prince Wang, please come in." King Zhou Yu hurriedly bowed down and invited Qin Yiren into the palace.
"Go to Chen Dingdian." Qin Yiren stepped into the palace and gave an order to King Zhou.
The most important thing in Luoyang is Jiuding, and Qin Yiren certainly wants to see it for the first time.
"Jiuding!" Huang Shigong, Wei Yu and Sima Terrier's hearts were hot, and they were very eager.
Jiuding is a Chinese holy weapon, a symbol of China, who doesn't know, which one doesn't know? However, Jiuding is placed in Luoyang, where can idlers see it, even the monarchs of the Seven Warring States have no chance to see it. Except for King Qin Wu, who had seen Jiuding, the other monarchs had hardly seen it.
I'm about to see Jiuding with my own eyes, who can not be excited? Who can not be anxious?
King Zhou's heart sank, thinking that if Qin Yiren saw the bloodstains of King Qin Wu on Yongding, would he be furious?
However, he didn't dare to disobey Qin Yiren's wishes, so he had to lead the way, lead Qin Yiren and his party, and go straight to Chen Ding's Palace.
The Chen Ding Hall is large enough to accommodate thousands of people. There are nine huge bronze tripods placed in the hall, the weather is extraordinary, and a domineering atmosphere arises spontaneously.
"This is Jiuding? Extraordinary! Qin Yiren's eyes lit up and blurted out appreciation.
"Good! Good! Good! It deserves to be Jiuding! Huang Shigong, Wei Yu and Sima Terrier's eyes were hot, their eyes were round, and they stared at Jiuding.
Nine tripods are placed in a circle, eight tripods on the periphery, a tripod in the center, and its orientation depends on "Kyushu".
Moreover, the central summit is the largest and most magnificent.
Dayu divided Kyushu, ordered each state to pay tribute to fine copper, cast into nine tripods, a tripod represents a state, since then, nine tripods have become a symbol of China, become a national holy weapon. The third generation of Xia Shang all took Jiuding as a symbol of the world.
"The central tripod is the Yuzhou tripod, and the land of the Central Plains is also; The four tripods in the east are Xu, Yang, Qing and Yan; The west side of Siding is Yong, Liang, You, Hebei four states. King Zhou Xun was extremely reluctant, and he had to explain to Qin Yiren.
When explaining Yongding, King Zhou Xun looked at the bloodstains of King Qin Wu, his voice trembled a little, and he regretted it in his heart, why didn't he clean up the bloodstains of King Qin Wu?
"Yongding?" Afraid of something, Qin Yiren stared at Yongding with a pair of eyes. (To be continued......)
