Chapter 632: The Edict of the Son of Heaven
Although King Zhou Mu did not get the complete map, he was inspired, and the goddess in the Kunlun Golden Gate was most concerned about the Jade Pig Dragon, and King Zhou Mu realized that this pattern should have some kind of powerful ability, so he recalled that the first time he got the Jade Pig Dragon was during the Eastern Crusade.

Therefore, in order to find the source and clues of the Jade Pig Dragon, King Mu of Zhou insisted on launching a large-scale expedition despite the opposition of his courtiers, and finally learned from the mouth of the leader of Dongyi that this tribe had migrated here from further east.
King Zhou Mu also wanted to expand the scope of the expedition, but time flicked his fingers, although King Zhou Mu was given a hundred years of life by the goddess, but Ji Xiang, who followed King Zhou Mu, did not get this gift, Ji Xiang knew that his time was short, but he was still loyal to let King Zhou Mu think long-term, planning this task that may not be completed in a short time.
Ji Xiang died, this incident touched King Zhou Mu a lot, although he had an extra hundred years of life, but for the completion of the oracle is still far away, King Zhou Mu is worried that he may not be able to complete the grand plan in his lifetime.
Therefore, King Mu of Zhou enabled Ji Xiang's son Ji Yangzu, who was later known as Yu Gonghuan, there is no record of this person in the historical materials, Ji Yangzu was also awarded the Shangqing, and led the seven elites, but King Mu of Zhou did not let Ji Yangzu continue to track the clues of the Jade Pig Dragon.
Instead, he asked Ji Yangzu to return to the fiefdom of the Kingdom of Qiu, and built a dam in the upper reaches of the river on the grounds of governing the Yellow River, and ordered the princes to transport timber from all over the country here, and when the dam was completed, Ji Yangzu secretly built a mausoleum under the Yellow River according to the order of King Mu of Zhou.
"Why did you let Ji Yangzu be responsible for building the Tomb of the Son of Heaven?" Xue Xinrou was puzzled and said. "King Zhou Mu is the Son of Heaven, immortality is such an important thing, why don't you tell future generations, but you have to believe a prince and king around you?"
"Yes, it stands to reason that although Ji Xiang and Ji Yangzu are both related to King Zhou Mu, they can't be compared with their own descendants, why didn't King Zhou Mu tell this secret to future generations, but chose to believe in the monarch of the Kingdom of Yu who has been sealed?" Tian Wanqing also looked a little puzzled.
"Immortality is something that everyone dreams of, and King Zhou Mu is not afraid that the descendants of the monarch of the Kingdom of Qiu will leak this secret? It is safer for him to tell future generations such an important matter than to let the monarch of the kingdom of Yu know. Ye Zhiqiu also stopped translating.
"Of course, King Zhou Mu is worried that the future kings of the Kingdom of Zhou will leak secrets, but this is not what worries King Zhou Mu the most, presumably he weighed it again and again before making such a decision, in other words, I am afraid that I will be the same as King Zhou Mu." Zhu Qi finally lit the cigarette and sat on the ground and said casually.
"Uncle Seven, what do you mean by that?"
"Zhao is humane, it is called the family and the country, the father and the son, the monarch and the ministers, the relatives and the ministers, the relatives and the sparse, the difference is different, the ordinary people's families, are the sons inherit the father's business, and the family is prosperous, Zhou Mu Wang Gui is the son of heaven, of course, he also hopes that the Zhou family can be stable for a long time, but when it comes to immortality, this relationship becomes delicate, and ordinary people will not encounter such a problem, but King Zhou Mu is the son of heaven who owns the world." Zhu Qi took a puff of cigarette and said solemnly.
"Seventh Master, this people and the emperor's family are the same, what's the subtlety?" Xue Xinrou looked a little incomprehensible.
"Because King Zhou Mu is the Son of Heaven! His status gives him supreme power. Zhu Qi smiled faintly in the smoke and looked at Xue Xinrou. Very simple question, would you think your dad lived long? ”
"Of course not, of course children want their parents to live a long life." Xue Xinrou replied without thinking.
"Yes, ordinary people want their parents to be healthy, but King Zhou Mu is the Son of Heaven......" I suddenly realized.
The whole world is not the king's land, King Zhou Mu is in charge of the whole world, he wants to live a long life in fact, he also wants this power to continue, if King Zhou Mu really gets eternal life, then he will be in charge of the country for thousands of years, and his children and grandchildren will not have the opportunity to become the next son of heaven.
King Mu of Zhou took precautions to let Ji Yangzu build a mausoleum, in fact, he had prepared for the worst in his heart, he was worried that he would be buried here in a hundred years, and the transaction with the goddess could not be completed, if he told this secret to future generations.
What happens after finding the clues to the Bronze Palace and the Jade Pig Dragon?
The descendant of the Son of Heaven completed the oracle and went to the mausoleum to let the goddess fulfill her original promise and make King Mu of Zhou immortal?
If this is the case, after King Zhou Mu is resurrected, he is no longer the Son of Heaven, not to mention that this possibility is very small, the immortality he wants, everyone dreams of it, especially the more powerful the person, the Son of Heaven in the future will do whatever it takes to chase it as he did during his lifetime.
What the goddess wants is the whereabouts of the Bronze Palace and the Jade Pig Dragon, it doesn't matter who completed it, as Zhu Qi said, any son of heaven who inherits the country in the future will probably not go to the mausoleum to let King Zhou Mu be reborn.
But this problem can be completely ignored by the king of the kingdom of Yu.
If the kings of the Kingdom of Yu unswervingly fulfilled King Zhou Mu's last wish until death, of course, everyone was happy, but if the monarchs of the Kingdom of Qiu dared to leak the news or keep this secret for themselves, immortality is a gift from God, but it is not necessarily a good thing.
The kingdom of Yu is just a vassal state, once the monarch has the ability to live forever, this secret is impossible to be concealed, it is bound to attract the attention of the current emperor of heaven, the ability of the son of heaven is not available, why let a prince and monarch get, and there is an immortal prince and monarch, it is a great hidden danger for the country itself.
There is no need for King Zhou Mu to worry about it, and the Son of Heaven in later generations will also eradicate this hidden danger, that is to say, if the monarch of the Kingdom of Yu dares to fill his own pockets and keep the secret of immortality for himself, the consequences will be self-evident and will be exterminated.
However, the monarch of the Kingdom of Zhou was loyal to fulfill his last wish for King Mu of Zhou, and finally awakened King Mu of Zhou, the Western Zhou Dynasty re-established the ritual system, and the Son of Heaven saw that the rebirth of the ancestors was originally a miracle, and the Son of Heaven would definitely be re-placed in King Mu of Zhou, so that King Mu of Zhou got eternal life, and the monarchs of the Kingdom of Zhou will enjoy supreme gifts and favors.
The monarch of the Kingdom of Yu should be able to weigh the importance and help King Mu of Zhou to be reborn is the wisest choice.
It is almost a hundred years, and King Zhou Mu, who is about to die, knows that his time is short, so he can only start to plan for the long term What he may not be able to accomplish.
And when King Zhou Mu was dying, Ji Xiang, who had been following him, had already been
"It turns out that this is the reason why King Mu of Zhou built the mausoleum in the fief of the Kingdom of Qiu." Gong Jue nodded in realization.
Ye Zhiqiu continued to translate, while Ji Yangzu was secretly building a mausoleum for King Zhou Mu, King Zhou Mu did not give up the last chance to find the clues of the Jade Pig Dragon, and led the Seven Elites to fight everywhere, which finally led to the decline of the Zhou family's national strength, but there was still no gain.
When the construction of the mausoleum under the Yellow River channel was completed, King Mu of Zhou was also about to die, in the last days, King Mu of Zhou dictated his life experience, written by a secretary, which may be a regret that his ambition was not rewarded, of course, in the oral account King Mu of Zhou did not tell the truth, but added the element of apocryphal to the real thing.
This is also the later generations of Mu Tianzi's expedition to the west and finally arrived in Kunlun to meet the gods, etc., the legendary life, in the oral account of King Mu of Zhou, revealed the yearning for the goddess, hoping to see the goddess, and let the secretary draw the appearance of the jade pig dragon.
The secretary who was in charge of writing mistakenly thought that King Zhou Mu was obsessed with the beauty of the goddess, and depicted Mu Tianzi's attachment and love for the goddess in the writing, and this goddess was the Queen Mother of the West from beginning to end, as for the jade pig dragon, the secretary thought it was a token given by the goddess to King Zhou Mu, which is why it was rumored in later generations that King Zhou Mu met the Queen Mother of the West in Kunlun, and the origin of the gifts given to each other.
As everyone knows, King Zhou Mu's real meaning is to see the goddess again, and hope that the goddess can extend his life again, so that he can continue to fulfill the oracle and finally get the promise of eternal life.
After completing his life memories, King Mu of Zhou's time also came to the end, before his death, he issued the last two orders of the Son of Heaven, the first is to leave the successor to the Son of Heaven, requiring all the sons of Zhou in later generations to be courteous to the monarch of the Kingdom of Qiu, and as the secretary of state must not be neglected, the affairs of the world must be participated in by the monarch of the Kingdom of Qiu.
Perhaps it is because of the last royal order of King Mu of Zhou that the Kingdom of Yu has always had a pivotal position and power in the Zhou Dynasty, once a son of heaven and a courtier, but no matter how the Zhou Dynasty is replaced, the monarch of the Kingdom of Zhou has always been safe and sound, and the king of the Kingdom of Yu has always been safe and sound.
King Mu of Zhou issued this royal order, which should be to ensure the power of the monarch of the Kingdom of Qiu, and only in this way can the monarchs of the Kingdom of Zhou fulfill their last wishes for eternal life.
And the second Son of Heaven is to leave it to Ji Yangzu, and order his descendants to do their best to find the whereabouts of the Bronze Palace, as well as the clues of the Jade Pig Dragon, if they are found, they will be enshrined in the mausoleum of King Zhou Mu, waiting for the goddess to come and wake him up, in order to hide people's eyes, King Zhou Mu ordered Ji Yangzu, the monarch of the past dynasties of the Kingdom of Qiu, to be buried on both sides of his mausoleum after his death.
In this way, the monarch of the state of Yu entering and leaving the tomb of King Mu of Zhou will not cause others to notice, and being able to be buried next to the tomb of the Son of Heaven is itself a gift to the monarch of the kingdom of Qiu.
"The content of King Zhou Mu's personal writing was later engraved on the jade coffin, and the final golden text said that this secret had been hidden in King Zhou Mu's heart for too long, and he could not find anyone to share and recount, so he could only stay on his coffin." After Ye Zhiqiu finished translating the golden text on the jade coffin, he raised his head and said to us.
"None?" I asked.
"That's all there is to the record left by King Zhou Mu." Ye Zhiqiu nodded.
"But there is still a golden text on this side of the jade coffin." Xue Xinrou, who was standing opposite the jade coffin, said.
"That's not the words left by King Zhou Mu." Ye Zhiqiu said.
"Who left that?" Zhu Qi hurriedly asked.
"Let's not talk about Jin Wen yet." Ye Zhiqiu pointed to the golden text that she had already translated. "Do you know, I found a very special place in King Zhou Mu's last golden text, which can explain something I didn't figure out before."
