Chapter 11 The Art of Divination
"Minister, see Your Majesty's ......"
In the hall of nourishing the heart, the Taiji Holy Emperor stood with his back to him, and the national teacher Bu Li (the word Xuanji) bowed from behind him, but did not kneel down.
——The law of the Great Qian, the position of the three dukes, can be exempted from kneeling when meeting the Holy Emperor.
"Xuanji...... Do you still remember the first year of the founding of the country? ”
The Holy Emperor slowly turned around, waved his hand and retreated, but he didn't even leave his personal eunuchs, and all of them drove out, and for a while, in the huge Heart Nourishing Palace, only the Taiji Holy Emperor and the national teacher Bu Li, a pair of long-time best friends, remained.
Bu Li's expression moved slightly when he heard this, but he slowly straightened up, showing a look of memory on his face.
"The minister has learned the art of divination (shì) with his teacher since he was a child, and now for more than 50 years, he has handled thousands of divinations, and the rest of the divination may be omitted and forgotten, except for the divination of the first year of the founding of the country, the shape of the strange, the difference of its hexagram, and the surprise of its prediction, all of which are unheard of in his life!"
As if the divination of the day resurfaced in his mind, Bu Li couldn't help but breathe heavier, his heart was agitated, and he couldn't hold himself for a while.
"Just ask such a divination...... How can the minister forget? ”
The Holy Emperor sighed when he heard this, but he paced slowly, gradually walking towards Bu Li.
"yes...... Such a vision has never been seen in this life! From then on, the events of that day were etched into the heart, and eternal life could not be erased......"
The two got closer and closer, and the Holy Emperor sighed, but at the same time, he took out a tortoise shell with a cracked back from his sleeve and slowly placed it in Bu Li's hand.
Looking at the tortoise shell in his memory, Bu Li's pupils shrank in an instant, and his hands trembled slightly, but he couldn't help but recall the shocking fortune of that day...
……
"Report~~ Congratulations to Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! In the first year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the prince was happy! ”
In the first year of Daqian Shenwu, the Taiji Holy Emperor, who had been waiting for a long time in the Yangxin Palace, heard the dragon Yan Dayue, and then crowned Lan nobles as Lan concubines to show his favor.
Immediately, the national teacher Bu Li was urgently summoned to the palace for an audience, and the two went to the Yiyuan Hall alone to perform divination in order to measure the direction of the national fortune of the Great Qian.
The so-called art of divination is 'turtle for divination, strategy for divination', that is, divination with tortoise shell, and yarrow (shì) grass for divination, in order to use the shape of some inanimate natural objects to predict good fortune.
The method is probably to observe the omen of the burning turtle, calculate the fixed number, and so on.
Among them, the burning turtle observation omen refers to the first drilling on the turtle plate or animal bones, and then using fire to burn, and then looking at the cracks to determine the good luck, this kind of crack that indicates the good luck and evil, it is called 'Zhao'.
The fixed number of the custodial is to hold the yarrow to determine its number to determine the good fortune, which means 'to hold', and the strategy refers to the yarrow used for divination.
And the art of divination has its own three methods of divination:
One is the first to divide and then divination, because all things have an image first and then there are numbers, turtles are elephants, and the horses are numbered, and the yarrow is used first when divination, and if the number of auspicious is not necessary, if it is not auspicious, then it is divined.
The second is that the divination is not more than three, sometimes it is not a divination to be able to get a good omen, a divination can be re-divination, three divination is still not auspicious, and even if the fourth time to get the auspicious omen, it will not be effective, so the folk will spread that 'things (Zong) are not three'.
The third is that the divination does not attack each other, because it is the first and then the divination, the inauspiciousness of the divination, you can re-divination, the inauspiciousness of divination, but you can not re-divination, the divination is the image, the number of the divination, all things have the image first and then the number, and the number of the elephant cannot be inverted.
As a disciple of Nangong Shi, who was respected as Master Yi, the national teacher Bu Li naturally learned the three methods of divination, first and then divination, and began to use the yarrow cloth hexagram method to arrange yarrow to get auspicious numbers.
"Mystery, how...... Can you get auspicious numbers? ”
The Holy Emperor stood aside and asked.
"This ......"
Bu Li frowned, looked at the hexagram (yáo) in front of him after three changes, and couldn't help muttering:
"Six-five, Huang Shang, Yuanji ......"
The Taiji Holy Emperor couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't know if his interpretation was correct, so he hurriedly asked.
"Xuanji, what does this hexagram mean?"
Bu Liden put down the yarrow in his hand, slowly paced in place, brushed his beard with one hand, and cautiously figured out the meaning of the hexagram.
This can't help but be careless, after all, the first year of the founding of the People's Republic of China gave birth to a prince, this is a godsend, who can guarantee that there is no intention of God to bless the great dry?
And this hexagram: Six-five, Huangshang, Yuanji.
Sixty-five is the title, Huang Shang, and Yuanji are the words.
Among them, the yellow dress refers to the yellow culottes, which just corresponds to the yellow armor and yellow skirt in the Great Cadre Army.
Yuanji is for great luck, and naturally belongs to the auspicious hexagram.
"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand ......"
Bu Li paced, but his mouth was amazing!
The Tai Chi Holy Emperor was shocked when he heard this, and his beard stopped abruptly!
"The year is in Jiazi, and the world is lucky!"
As soon as these words came out, the Holy Emperor was moved!
It must be known that the first year of Shenwu is the year of Jiazi, Bu Li's interpretation, doesn't it show that this is a good omen for the rise of Daqian? !
"Yes...... What does this hexagram mean with the Nine Emperor Princes? ”
The Holy Emperor hesitated slightly, because although this hexagram was an auspicious hexagram, he didn't know what it had to do with the newly born Nine Emperor Princes!
"That being the case...... Rong Chen has another hexagram! ”
Bu Li nodded slightly, but he was ready to make another hexagram for the Nine Emperor Princes.
It's another yarrow cloth hexagram to arrange yarrow, and after three changes, the hexagram is out!
"Ninety-four, or leaping in the abyss, no blame......"
This time, without waiting for the Holy Emperor to ask, Bu Li had already answered with a whisker.
"The dragon leaps into the deep pool, the advance and retreat are well-founded, and the dive jumps from the heart, so there is no disaster......"
The Holy Emperor bowed his head lightly when he heard this, this hexagram was not obscure, and of course he knew the meaning it represented.
This shows that the Nine Emperor Princes are like dragons leaping into the abyss, making a difference without disaster.
Of course, this was a good omen, but it did not satisfy the Taiji Holy Emperor.
"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand! The year is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious......"
The Holy Emperor kept pacing back and forth, and there were words in his mouth.
Such a good hexagram should only be like a dragon leaping into the abyss, without blame?
Can just making a difference make Huang Tian stand and make the world happy?
You need to know what it means to be auspicious in the world - it is equivalent to unifying the three kingdoms and eventually becoming an emperor!
Now the Three Kingdoms are established, the three kingdoms of Daqian, Daxing, and Dali have proclaimed themselves dynasties, and the supreme of the Three Kingdoms calls themselves the Holy Emperor, but none of them are enough to be called emperors!
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious, Rong Chen will make another divination!"
As a close friend for many years, how could Bu Li not know what his old friend was thinking at this time?
But this time, he changed his practice to divination and carved tortoise shells to show good luck!
You must know that there are only three divinations, and this is the last chance today!
"Crackling~Crackling~"
In the crackling fire tortoise shell, the Holy Emperor and the National Master waited with bated breath, waiting for the crack that symbolized good luck and evil to appear......
After a long time, the fire gradually subsided, Bu Li put out the fire with a solemn face, and then the two couldn't wait to step forward, but they were surprised on the spot!
——I saw that on the cracked tortoise shell, it was crooked, oblique, and the scattered and disorderly cracks were combined, and it was faintly formed into the word 'emperor'!!
The Holy Emperor and Bu Li immediately glanced at each other, their hearts fluttered, and they were speechless for a long time......
……
"Audience friends, welcome to the "Hundred Schools", I am your old friend - Yi Shangtian!
Today I want to talk about the creation of the Great Qian Empire, which has been inherited for nearly a thousand years, and the first emperor in Chinese history to achieve great unification - Zhao Zheng, the first emperor of Qian!
It is said that Zhao Zheng, the first emperor of Qian, was born with purple gas, with a divine pillar on his forehead on the top, his eyes are outward, the red light surrounds the room, the fragrance is not dispersed, the body is golden, the three days are unchanged, and the palm is full of lines, which is the word "emperor"!
Of course, we all know that this is a kind of artistic processing with mythological colors depicted by later generations in order to praise the first emperor Zhao Zheng as the first emperor of the ages and realize the great achievements of great unification.
But what many people don't know is that the First Emperor did have the blessing of the Mandate of Heaven, and finally was able to complete the first real unification in history, and completely lay the foundation of dry culture and Chinese civilization.
So what evidence can prove it, let's see...... The picture shows the ancient strange armor collected in the Palace Museum, which can be called the treasure of the town courtyard - the first emperor's armor!
Let's take a closer look, although after thousands of years of historical baptism, the irregular cracks on the armor of the first emperor vaguely form a 'emperor' character?
You must know that this is not made by anyone, but when the first emperor was born, the great master Bu Li used the art of divination to burn the tortoise shell and finally obtained a heaven-sent artifact!
This first emperor A in the first emperor of the first emperor officially ascended the throne after the emperor, was enshrined in the temple, every emperor of the emperor must go to the throne to pay homage, this is a symbol of the great Qian Empire of the mandate of heaven to grant the sacred things!
The importance of this ancient strange armor is even more important than the jade seal of the country, and finally the great cadre continued to the time of the destruction of 999 years, and the political ancestor of the great Qian-Zhao Bao, in order to prove his destiny, did not dare to set up the country name, but took the name of the first emperor of the country, called himself the great political empire, and presented himself as the person who dreamed of the first emperor at night.
And the reason why Zhao Bao was able to usurp the success of Qian, also because he and the First Emperor of the First Emperor were both surnamed Zhao, and obtained the First Emperor A in advance, so that he could get the support of the hearts of the people all over the world, which shows that the First Emperor of the Qianshi Emperor swept the Eight Wildernesses, and the great influence of the First Emperor through the ages!
And after Zhao Bao became the emperor, he also enshrined the first emperor A who symbolized the mandate of heaven to the temple, and he was also very scheming to bury the first emperor A after his death, worried that he would be succeeded by others.
But not long after his death, he immediately destroyed the country in the hands of his son, and the descendants robbed the tomb to find out the first emperor A, but found that Zhao Bao's mausoleum was a fake tomb, and the real mausoleum was missing!
Since then, the First Emperor Armor has become a symbol of the Mandate of Heaven, and the emperors of all dynasties have wanted to find the Emperor's Armor to prove that they have been granted by the Mandate of Heaven, but no one can find it!
It wasn't until the discovery of Zhao Bao's real mausoleum before the founding of the People's Republic of China that the First Emperor Jia finally saw the light of day, and is now stored in the Palace Museum as an epic national treasure......"
