Chapter 9 The Song of the Phoenix Dynasty
Before dawn, the people of Chaoge got up early.
As they had done the other day, they carefully wiped down the window edges, washed the courtyard with buckets, and covered their homes with festive curtains, as if they were welcoming the New Year.
In order to welcome Nuwa's arrival, Bigan opened the treasury after obtaining the consent of Di Xin.
All the people of Chaoge, each household can receive a jade shell, ten catties of wine and meat, and an incense burner carved with the statue of Nuwa.
The purchasing power of jade shells far exceeds that of gold and silver, and one is equal to half a year's living expenses of a small nobleman.
The Wu Yanzi who was sacrificed alive was rewarded with 20 jade shells by Di Xin that year, and he was so happy that he even cast a tripod to commemorate it.
The Royal Palace, outside the Longde Palace.
All the civil and military officials arrived, Huang Feihu stood with his sword on his shoulder, Shang Rong and Bigan sat on silky soft chairs, checking the details of the celebration.
There are three large seats at the top.
The highest one is the white jade throne borrowed by Bigan in the Nuwa Palace from the golden boy and jade girl, carved with various floating forms, far beyond ordinary craftsmanship.
The two below, one is cast in bright gold, inlaid with precious jade, and Emperor Xin sits on the sword of the human emperor.
A statue made of black wood, carved with a bird swallowing the sun, white medicine with black circles under his eyes, holding a sacrificial vessel to resist sleepiness.
Both were dressed in noble white.
"Boom-"
The gates of the palace were opened, and someone beat the brass drum and said in a loud voice:
"Xibohou Ji Chang has arrived—"
A slightly old middle-aged man walked into the door, wearing a golden robe embroidered with a long dragon, and stepped into the palace with the courtiers of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Bai Yao cheered up and looked at this "King Wen of Zhou" from afar.
When he got closer, he found two young people standing on either side behind Ji Chang.
A handsome face, dressed in gold armor, walked majestically.
The other, a crescent yellow brocade robe, has a thin body, a picturesque face, gentle eyes, and an indescribable grace and elegance.
"This Ji Kao is really as handsome as the legend says."
Di Xin laughed.
Bai Yao smiled and said nothing.
In the original book, Daji fell in love with Xiao Xian Rou Bo Yi at first sight, and immediately felt that the old bacon Emperor Xin next to him was really down.
Later, the courtship was fruitless, so he hated it, and designed to let Di Xin, the first chef in ancient and modern times, make Bo Yi into a meatloaf for Ji Chang to eat.
It's really a young man who loves him since ancient times.
After sighing, Bai Yao's gaze fell on Ji Fa.
It looks like he is just a mediocre young general, who would have thought that he would become the famous King Wu of Zhou in the future?
Ji Chang came to the two large seats, led his sons to kneel, and first bowed to Di Xin:
"Xibohou Jichang, meet the king."
Then he kowtowed to Bai Yao and said:
"Knock on the big wishes."
Worship is the courtier's gift.
Kowtowing is a tribute to the ancestors.
Ji Chang's etiquette is so thoughtful that no one can find fault with it.
Bai Yao bowed his head lightly and did not speak, as a great blessing, he wanted to remain mysterious in front of the public.
Di Xin gave the seat, and Ji Chang got up and didn't mention it for the time being.
The other three princes were present in turn.
They are the Northern Bohou Chonghou Hu, who has been loyal to the song for many years, the Southern Bohou E Chongyu, who rebelled with his son in the original book, and Jiang Huanchu, the Eastern Bohou who also rebelled with his son.
Baiyao closed his eyes and recuperated, and all matters were handed over to Di Xin to deal with.
The King of Shang and Dazhu have been able to live together for so many years, in addition to the hard requirements of the Emperor's Sword and the Ancestors' right to interpret, there are also some unwritten rules.
For example, above the court, although he is side by side with Di Xin, his identity is an inconclusive "minister", his words and deeds are not allowed to cross the royal power, although he has the power to command the Yin Shang army to fight, but Di Xin can veto it with a word.
If he was in the ancestral temple, Di Xin would have to put down the shelf of the Shang King and be a well-behaved descendant of the royal family honestly, even if Bai Yao wanted to sacrifice his wife to the ancestors, he would have to be tied up.
Just sitting like this, Bai Yao finally couldn't resist the sleepiness, and Chong Dixin said:
"The ancestors are looking for me."
He took out a delicate white turtle shell from his sleeve, pretended to be a ghost, and then closed his eyes to make up for sleep.
Seeing this, Di Xin glanced at him.
Bigan comprehended the gods and summoned the guards of the ancestral temple with an average of 1.85 meters per capita to guard the "communication" between people and the gods under the big seat of white medicine.
Ji Fa stood behind Ji Chang, looked at Bai Yao cautiously, and bumped Bo Yi Kao with his shoulder:
"Big brother, is Dazhu asleep?"
Ji Kao frowned and scolded in a low voice:
"Be careful!"
Ji Chang, who has the name of a saint in Xiqi, heard the conversation between the two sons, not only did not stop it, but glanced at Bai Yao without a trace.
…
At noon, the sun is high.
A fresh breeze blows.
Bai Yao, who had slept well, opened his eyes, and after his brain was turned on, his face pretended to be solemn, and he said to Di Xin:
"King, after the celebration, let the ministers stay."
Di Xin, who had a straight back, saw Bai Yao's expression and nodded solemnly.
Suddenly, auspicious clouds appeared out of thin air in the blue sky, and the ethereal sound of Xun sounded everywhere in the song.
Immediately after that, hundreds of millions of rays of rainbow light covered the sky, and then it rained colorful flowers.
"Huh~"
It was as if the sound of birdsong from ancient times resounded in the sky.
The people of Chaoge knelt at the door of their homes, holding incense burners in their hands, and looked up to the sky.
A gorgeous big bird flew from nowhere, swept past the morning song, its feathers were colorful, its posture was like flowing water, the clouds became Lingrui, and the sound of chanting was in all directions.
"It's a phoenix!"
"Xiangrui!"
"Nuwa Niangniang bless me to be a general......"
Some people cheered, some people made wishes, and the whole song turned from quiet to lively in a blink of an eye.
Bai Yao and Di Xin got up at the same time, walked down their big seats, and came to the front of the ministers.
A figure with a human body and a snake tail looked down on the world on auspicious clouds. Everywhere she looked, the rhyme of merit was pervasive, and the humane merit manifested the golden lotus.
Baiyao couldn't describe the shock in his heart, he only felt warm all over his body, as if he was back in his childhood and was in the arms of his mother, which was so reassuring and comfortable.
He resisted the urge to call his mother, and stepped forward with Di Xin and shouted:
"Welcome Nuwa Niangniang to the court——"
The ministers knelt down to celebrate, and Bai Yao and Di Xin, who were the ones who carried the most human luck, did not need to kneel.
Nuwa, who has been dressed up for seven days, is very satisfied with her appearance.
This is the first time since she made up the heavens that she has directly descended to the human race in her true body.
She smiled and waved her sleeves slightly, and her voice sounded in Bai Yao's head:
"The descendants of the soup are so pious, this seat is very pleased, if you don't appreciate it, it should show that this seat is stingy."
A magical sight happens.
A bright purple light swept through Chaoge, and then everyone, including the people in the outer city, had an immortal fruit in their arms.
"After eating this fruit, it can eliminate all kinds of diseases, and those who are disease-free will live for 20 years, and they will be rewarded to the people of Chaoge."
The city was instantly silent.
In the next second, cheers erupted that even the air was shaken.
Nuwa's reward was not over yet, she waved her sleeves again, conjured up a large tripod filled with a thick atmosphere, and fell directly in the direction of the ancestral temple.
"Give the town of the country again, and suppress the fortune of Yin Shang."
"Boom-"
The ground trembled, but instead of feeling unsteady, the ground felt much thicker.
Bai Yao felt a sense in his heart and found that the Zun Ding was directly integrated into the national fortune!
Then his pupils constricted, and the voice of the system lingered in his head:
[Obtain: Creation Immortal Ding: Imitation]
[National Games +5000 points]
[Effect: +3000 points of national luck per year, and the number of national sports obtained through other channels will be doubled within five years]
