Chapter 51: The Origin of the Gongbo Family
In this world, the first unified dynasty that appeared was the Shang, and before the Shang were all tribes, there was no concept of a state.
The tribes had been in conflict with each other in order to compete for good water and fertile land, and later, the Shang tribe slowly grew stronger, annexed the surrounding small tribes, and gradually began to move in the direction of unification.
The origin of the Gongbo clan was in the snow-capped mountains of the northeast, and in order to survive, they were forced to move to the Central Plains, and then they met the Shang tribe. They are known for their witchcraft. After many years in the snow-capped mountains, the environment is harsh, and in order to survive, the spiritual expectations are gradually materialized, and gradually, there is a totem and belief of his own family.
Moreover, there are many ores in the mountains, and when the Gongbo family came out of the snow-capped mountains, they brought a totemic-shaped stone, which was crystal clear and would shine at night, and had been regarded as the guardian saint of the tribe.
Later, the climate in the snow-capped mountains became more and more severe, and food became more and more scarce, and people really couldn't survive. Only then did the tribal patriarch bring people out, submit to Shang, and offer the patron saint of his tribe.
This patron god-shaped stone is actually a rare piece of snow-capped ice crystal jade, which was naturally carved into a jade seal after the founding of the Later Shang Dynasty and became a symbol of imperial power.
The Gongbo clan, after subjugating to the Shang tribe, soon became a symbol of divine power in the tribe, even if the Shang became a country, their clan was also in charge of the sacrifice.
In the snow-capped mountains, when food is scarce, people will sacrifice to the gods in order to survive, and when there is not enough food, they have to sacrifice some people to save their rations and ensure the rest. Killing people directly is too barbaric, and it is easy to cause panic. When there is a god, he begins to borrow the mouth of the god, in order to make people die willingly, the god has to penetrate into the hearts of the people.
The Gongbo clan said that they were good at witchcraft divination, but it was better to say that they were clever and good at demagoguery. Their people, in the snow-capped mountains, when the long winter comes, they can only stay in the cave, and their thinking begins to expand.
As soon as he got off the mountain, he climbed to the strongest tribe, offered the most precious symbol of his tribe, and quickly fixed his position with his tongue.
It is rumored that the consolidation of this position is inseparable from murder and sacrifice, and the use of bloody and cruel means, with the help of the calculations of unknown prophets, to suppress the doubts of others. The Gongbo family, when they were in the mountains, was to cut the living people, and now, even if they are out of the snow mountain, they still retain the habit of sacrificing the living.
At that time, the living environment was harsh, and people struggled desperately to survive. The Gongbo clan brought spiritual sustenance, but also brought the belief that they were not afraid of death, sacrificing some people and intimidating others, which was their usual method.
The reason why Shang can be unified is mostly because of the theocratic guidance of the Gongbo family. In the same way, the demise of Shang was also destroyed in the consciousness of the Gongbo family.
After the founding of the Shang Dynasty, they gave their surnames to their clans and supported their theocratic status. This kind of theocratic rule dominated by killing gradually became irrational after the people's lives stabilized and their ideological consciousness awakened.
Every year, a large number of people and horses die, and in order to rule, the Gongbo clan is to use the poor part of their own clan to open the knife, and the name is used as a guide. Although, this part of the clansmen is in the minority. But the same race, you can live, but I can't live, and differences arise.
At this time, the part of the people who wanted to survive became entangled with the other part of the people who were active in the folk thinking, and set off a vigorous revolution. This game lasted for a hundred years, and in the end it was Zhou who replaced Shang.
The part of the Gongbo clan that rebelled in the same week killed the clansmen who were dominated by theocracy, assisted Zhou to unify the world, and knocked down the theocracy.
Not only that, but the whole country also introduced the Buddhist culture from the Western Regions, and the Gongbo family also secretly assisted in promoting the Taoist sect of cultivating immortals.
Originally, I thought that all this was settled, and there would be no more disputes in the world.
But people, after life is stable, they like to chase fame and fortune, and they want to sit in the first position in the world. And the people who sit in the first position in the world, after a long time, also begin to look at no one and indulge in wine.
The king, once it sinks and is desolate, the gas of the whole country will be counted.
This time, the Gongbo clan did not keep Zhou, and Zhou also slaughtered all his clansmen for this.
It is rumored that the jade seal of the country was burned in the fire along with the Gongbo clan. This historical farce led by the Gongbo clan was supposed to die out with his people.
However, the founding emperor of Wu left a boy from the uncle's family in his hand, and made a lot of articles on this, saying that this boy could be psychic and help the Ye family find the jade seal of the country that was taken back by God from the snowy mountains, and it is precisely because of this that its capital is erected on the capital of Zhou.
Everyone thought about it a little and knew that this was just a scam, and no one had ever seen what the jade seal of the country looked like.
But people just want to believe it.
When Yin Si heard these stories when he was a child, he felt ridiculous, how could a newborn doll run and jump, and take the Ye clan to get the jade seal in the snowy mountains.
The more expressive the story, the more absurd it is, and no matter how absurd it is, it involves the Gongbo clan and its original witchcraft sacrifice, and it becomes an unbreakable fact.
People are always full of awe of the unknown, once there is such a group of people who have oppressed others with the unknown, they will think that they are indeed supernatural, and their descendants are also full of mythology.
Although the original Gongbo family has disappeared in the long river of history, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the emperor of Wu also changed the history books and privately guided people's views on the Gongbo family.
But the rumors have not stopped.
By the time of Gongbo Shengde's generation, the glory of the Gongbo family had declined a lot. The Ye family of Wu State just used him as a reason to start a military and build a country at the beginning, although it was still a seal of Fu Jie Lingcheng, but Wu Guo's Fu Jie Lingcheng and power status were not as good as civil officials.
The empty power and the control of the people are all in secret, trying to slowly wipe out this clan.
Now the state of Wu, the ruler is indeed deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the influence of the Gongbo clan has reached the most transparent time, these hundreds of years, people have gradually forgotten its former glory, and it is the best time to let the Gongbo clan withdraw from the stage.
Yin Si looked for someone to surround the Gongbo family and found a lot of things.
From the founding of the State of Wu to the present, each generation of the owner of the Gongbofu has only one son, who is in a single lineage, and all of them are weak and weak, and they need to be conditioned by the imperial doctor, and the wives they marry are also selected by the royal family. It is precisely because of its poor health that its influence has plummeted in the government and the opposition and among the people.
When I got to Gongbo Shengde, there were only two daughters.
The people on Yinsi's side originally wanted to find the imperial doctor who recuperated Gongbo Shengde back then, but they sent someone to find him, but the imperial doctor did not return to his hometown at all, and the people were already gone on the road. Moreover, this imperial doctor, the whole family followed the master of the Gongbo Mansion to recuperate, and in the generation of Gongbo Shengde, there was a fire in the courtyard, and the rest of the clansmen were gone.
Exploring the people around me found out that this family is good at conditioning the body, especially when it comes to seeking children. The information arrives here, and everything speaks for itself.
The Ye family has always controlled everything in the Gongbo clan, there is no doubt about it.
He wants to erase the Gongbo family, and those with ulterior motives want to keep this family.
Even if the rumors are silent now, as long as the news is released, the people will spread the word by the people, and then create some momentum, and the spark can still start a prairie fire.
Moreover, two female dolls are easier to control and use.
Therefore, Li Chenliang will lay out and want to capture Gongbo Xinxin, what he wants has never been a jade seal, but the bloodline of a Gongbo's family.
Back then, the people who intercepted Zhezhe were either third-party forces, or the royal family of the Ye clan of Wu Guo, and they must have revealed something to Zhezhe, so this girl who was enthusiastic and willing to shed her blood for the country was stimulated and chose to hang herself.
Of course, this self-hanging was inferred by Yin Si and Kurong, and it is not excluded that it was the person who intercepted her, in order to prevent her from revealing information, he chose to assassinate and fake it as suicide.
But the result was that Zhezhe did not die, and during this period, the uncle and his wife thought that she had fallen into evil spirits, and kept looking for someone to come over to exorcise evil spirits. The people in the shadows must have been paying attention to it. Otherwise, the marriage at the beginning of the year would not have given the crazy Zhezhe to Liang Zhecheng, who had always been weak.
Once, Zhezhe is pretending to be crazy and wants to make other arrangements for him, then he can completely attack Liang Zhecheng, who is sick, and he doesn't know it. Similarly, once Zhezhe has no use value, it is best to kill it, so there will be a second assassination.
This second assassination can be determined to have been committed by someone from the Ye family.
Ye Boyan is the biggest suspect, and two years ago, he also led people to search for and rescue Gongbo Zhezhe. So, he must have known something back then.
Gongbo Zhezhe has always been spread by Wu as a talented woman, and Ye Boyan and the emperor have always been fond of marrying her to Ye Qiongwen, but they didn't expect that Ye Qiongwen insisted on marrying Gongbo Xinxin.
If there had been no farce two years ago, today's marriage would have been a talented woman with a nobleman.
But at this point, Zhezhe is getting out of the abnormality again, and the forces surrounding her will definitely emerge slowly, and if she doesn't break away at this time, I'm afraid that it will be even more difficult in the future.
Yin Si knows that he likes her in his heart, not because of her identity and use value, but because he simply likes it.
He wants to live a peaceful life with her, even if this peace needs someone else's life to pave it.
Originally, he was not a saint, and the blood and human lives in his hands had long been countless, and it didn't matter if there were a few more or less, as long as he could achieve his goal, he was fearless.
