Zhong Zhiyu, who was regretted by Emperor Zhao for not being a man, was extremely glad that he was a daughter at this time.

It turned out that the Great Cold Festival of Xijon was coming, and the king of Xijon was recruiting men of different races or men of pure blood as sacrifices.

"Yes, the sacrifice." He Yu held the large stove, although his fingertips were still purple from the cold, he still straightened his waist, and his face was indifferent: "Miss, there is a reason why Dayu was able to dominate the world back then, and the degree of civilization of our Dayu is not comparable to these two barbarian countries." ”

Zhong Zhiyu's face was not good: "Is it the kind of sacrifice I thought?" ”

He Yu nodded.

Chun and a few people were confirmed, and their faces were also pale: "Has Xirong always had the custom of sacrificing?" How come I have never heard of it? ”

"There were, then there wasn't, and now there is."

He Yu said it succinctly, but everyone at the scene understood what he meant.

There was a custom in Sijon that is, to say this; Later, it was not, but after being ruled by Da Yu, this bad habit was abolished; Now that there is one, it is needless to say that it must be the king of Sijon who has picked up this inhumane sacrifice again.

After a while, Zhong Xiyu frowned and asked, "King Xirong shouldn't use this as an excuse to come to us for trouble, right?" ”

Hongclaw looked around the room and stammered at himself, "Alien man... Isn't this the only one here? ”

He Yu glanced at him, with an imperceptible smile in his eyes: "In this way, it is not necessarily." By the way, do you know that this sacrifice is going to do that? ”

Several people shook their heads.

He Yu: "On Xirong's side, those who are chosen as sacrifices become human animals, and before the sacrifice begins, human animals will be cut in half and hung up, and then the internal organs will be hollowed out, washed, and placed under the holy virgin tree. ”

Hongclaw made up the scene for a while, and he was already feeling a stomachache.

"Miss... I don't want to be a human animal......"

Hongpaw cried with a sad face, as if if if Zhong Yuyu didn't save him, he would kill himself, and Zhong Shuyu and He Yu laughed together: "Don't worry, He Yu is teasing you, the king will not give Mrs. Yeli face." ”

Talon: ??? Isn't it interesting!

A few people made a fuss for a while, and then slowly quieted down, and everyone's interest was not high.

After all, this is a human sacrifice, and the impact on them is too great.

Chunhe muttered: "This King Xirong said that he refused to worship his ancestors, but he wanted to worship the holy Maiden tree with a living person, which is really a brain disease." ”

"Not really." Zhong Shuyu accosted: "I don't think the saintess tree is beautiful at all, and I even think that it can bloom pink flowers in all seasons, all because it sucks human blood." ”

"I originally thought that Beiyi was called barbarians because they didn't have a good brain and had vulgar manners, but compared to Xirong, Xirong is like an uncivilized person!" Hongclaw bit his lip: "By the way, what is a man with pure blood?" ”

Several people looked at each other, and then cast their eyes on He Yu.

He Yu coughed: "Like me, in the eyes of the Xirong people, the blood is not pure." ”

Several people nodded, and shook their heads in unison.

"Those who commit adultery, are guilty, and lack virtue are all impure in blood."

Several people suddenly realized, and Zhong Shuyu slammed his fist on the table: "Isn't this just bullying honest people!" ”

"No way, a large part of the people of Xijon are proud that they were chosen as a sacrifice." He Yu sighed: "It's really stupid. ”

"Ignorant?" Zhong Xiyu's eyelids suddenly jumped: "You say, does Madame also believe this?" ”

said that he was asking everyone, but he mainly wanted to hear He Yu's opinion.

"I think, madam, believe it or not."

Hongclaw sat on the ground dejectedly: "What kind of answer do you have, I can answer it." ”

He Yu ignored him and explained to Zhong Shuyu: "Why do you think King Xirong wants to resume this sacrifice?" ”

Zhong Zhiyu was stunned: "Why?" ”

He Yu followed the temptation: "Think about it, if you are in the position of the king of Xirong, why do you want to resume this sacrifice?" ”

"In order to... Consolidation of royal power. Zhong Zhiyu's eyes lit up.

"Yes, consolidate the royal power." He Yu took a sip of tea, and seemed to feel that his throat was a little dry after saying so many words: "The so-called butt decides the head, Chunhe was right just now, King Xirong doesn't believe in ancestor worship, but he wants to make a big effort to organize the sacrifice, just because this sacrifice can make the people most directly able to experience the horror of royal power." ”

"The people were afraid of him and feared him, so they naturally listened to him and obeyed him, and those who chose to be sacrificed were all good people, and those who were easy to stir up rebellion were screened out to the greatest extent."

Hongclaw was stunned when he heard it: "It's really a good plan." ”

Chunhe scoffed: "The rabbit is in a hurry, and it still wants to bite!" ”

"So, Madame, that's what you think?" Zhong Zhiyu returned to the beginning of the question: "It doesn't matter if she believes it in her heart or not, what is important is what benefits it can bring her?" ”

He Yu smiled.

"Did you bring any books about these gods?"

Zhong Zhiyu came to his senses, stood up and looked at He Yu expectantly.

He Yu smiled: "No." ”

Before Zhong Zhiyu had time to express his disappointment, Hongclaw also stood up suddenly, raising one hand to the ground: "Miss, I have it!" I have a copy of "Zhou Yi"? ”

It is said that the servant master, he doesn't like to read, but he will love to read and bring a book with him?

Receiving Zhong Shuyu's suspicious gaze, Hongpaw withdrew his hand in a sneering manner, and said with a smile: "It's Qin Gongzi's, he said that he was still preparing for the scientific examination, so he simply brought a few books, and then they didn't have time to take the books away when they had an accident, so I went to get their salute back." ”

Zhong Shuyu: "It's really hard for him......"

Then, when she opened the book with respect, she was silent at the turtle painted with pages.

She didn't say the above sentence.

·

"Zhou Yi" is aggrieved and obscure, Zhong Zhuoyu stayed up late and read it for several days, and with the help of He Yu, he stumbled to understand the meaning of some of the content.

But that's enough.

Zhong Shuyu carried this "Zhou Yi" in his arms, and on the eve of the Great Cold Festival, he confidently went to see Yeli Baohua.

She was going to discuss these things with Yeli Baohua about these gods.

Yeli Baohua knew that Zhong Zhuyu had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and listened to Zhong Zhuyu start to talk about Dayu, which is a must-read "Zhou Yi" for officials, not to mention, this difficult and obscure text became vivid when it reached Zhong Zhuyu's mouth, and he was fascinated unconsciously.

Zhong Shuyu hooked the corners of his mouth, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he began to talk about the "Words" in "Zhou Yi" with private goods.

This "Speech" is said to have been written by Ji Chang, the king of Zhou Wen, and it is bold in its words, full of words such as "Yi Jianhou" and "Perform the throne", which almost clearly reveals his disobedience.

Yeli Baohua glanced at Zhong Zhuoyu deeply, and his eyes were dark.
