Chapter 168: The Emperor and Concubine Three Abandonment of Their Sons (2)
said. He asked someone to take him and abandon him, and he walked into the room to visit Jiang Yan. I saw that Jiang Yan was crying like a tearful person. When Jian Di saw it, she was even more puzzled by her thoughts. I thought to myself: "If you are desperate to abandon this child, why do you have to cry bitterly at this time? If you regret it, why did you want to abandon it with your life just now? This kind of contradictory psychology is really incomprehensible. ”
Who knew that when Jiang Yan saw Jian Di walking into the room, she had already barely held back her tears and didn't cry. Seeing her like this, Jian Di couldn't lift her head again, so she had to use some other words to perfunctory. Then he came to the emperor's room and told him about the situation, and the emperor couldn't think of the reason for this.
Early the next morning, with the child in mind, Jian Di called the man who had been taken and abandoned last night, and asked, "Where did you leave that child last night?" Jian Di said: "You go to me to see if I am alive or dead, and have you given it to others?"
The man answered. In less than a good moment, he came back in a panic and reported: "Strange things, strange things!" At this time, Jian Di was in the emperor's room, and the emperor listened to it, so he asked: "What is the strange thing?" The man replied: "Just now the second concubine asked the villain to see if the son who was abandoned last night froze to death, how do you know that the villain went to take a look, there are many cows and sheep there to feed his milk and warm his body, isn't this a strange thing?"
When Emperor Yu heard this, he didn't believe it, and said, "Is there such a thing?" and called another person to see it. A moment later, he came back and reported, "It's true." When the little man went to see it, he saw a cow lying there. Now that the people of the city knew about it, they came to watch it, and everyone was surprised. What a strange thing!"
When Jian Di heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said to the emperor: "This child has such a strange thing, I think he must be an extraordinary person in the future, please ask the emperor to call someone to pick it up quickly." ”
Emperor Yu was so tempted that he asked someone to hug him back. But the child's eyes were bright, as they had been when he had been carried out last night, and he was not sick with cold or hunger, but he still did not cry or cry. Emperor Yu was also surprised, so he ordered Jian Di to take him to Jiang Yan's room and tell Jiang Yan about the situation. I didn't know that Jiang Yan was okay if she didn't see him, but when she saw the child, she immediately became angry, and she still had to abandon him.
Jian Di told her about the situation of Niu Yang Feizi, Jiang Yan didn't believe it, and said: "This is all fabricated, and there is no such thing in the world." Remember, you didn't ask anyone to abandon you last night, did you? Jian Di couldn't help it, so she had to hug Di Yu again and tell Di Yu. Emperor Yu thought for a while and said, "Let someone take it and abandon it again, this time and abandon it farther." ”
Jian Di was shocked, so he begged the emperor and said: "I'm afraid this can't be done, a newborn child, where can he endure so much suffering, and if he abandons it farther away, it is in the mountains and forests, there are many jackals, tigers and leopards, mountain spirits and tree monsters, isn't it in vain to kill this child? The meaning of the concubine, please explain to the concubine, raise the child temporarily, wait until the concubine comes out of the room in the full moon, and investigate it personally, if it is fabricated, then it is not too late to abandon it. Think about it, if Concubine Zheng knew that this child really had such strange deeds, she would definitely not abandon it, why did the emperor think so?"
Emperor Yu said: "I don't need to see it, I am still a little suspicious about the cow and sheep feeding just now." As for you, I believe that you are the one who will never be a fake, but those palace people I dare not vouch for them. Or pity the child, who did not abandon it last night, and did not take it out until this morning after you asked, is unknown.
Otherwise, in the middle of the night, where will the cattle and sheep be released from other people's homes? So this time I will abandon it farther away, and try to see if this child is really an extraordinary person in the future, then he will definitely meet a savior, and he will still not die. If he died, it can be seen that last night's incident was unreliable, and it was not uncommon to make it reliable, and it was also a coincidence. ”
When Jian Di heard this, she couldn't make a sound, so she had to ask someone to take the child and abandon it. After a long time, the man who had been abandoned turned around, and the emperor asked him where he had abandoned it, and the man said, "Abandon it in a mountain forest three miles away." When the emperor heard this, he was silent. When Jian Di heard this, she couldn't bear it, and she didn't fall asleep all night. As soon as dawn came, he hurriedly got up, and was about to ask Emperor Yu to call someone to see it, but Emperor Yu had already called the guards to investigate.
After a long time, the listener came back and said, "What a strange thing! The villain had just gone to the outskirts, and saw countless people running towards it, and the villain asked them what was the matter, and one of the people said, 'I wanted to cut some firewood in the flat forest this morning, and prepare for the morning cooking. I was so surprised that I was about to cut it with my knife, but when I looked closer, there was a newborn child beside the wolf, and the wolf was feeding his milk. I was so surprised that I came back and invited everyone to see it. At this time, I don't know if I'm there. ’
said all the way, led everyone forward, and the villain followed him at that time. When he arrived in the forest, he saw that the wolf was still breastfeeding there, and the child he was feeding was the son of the emperor, and the villain believed it at that time.
Later, when the wolf saw that there were many people, and some of them went to chase it, it slowly stood up, wagked its tail twice, sniffed the emperor's face, and then ran away into the mountains. This is the villain seeing, it's true!"
The emperor asked, "What happened? Did the child come back?"
The guard said: "Later, those people were very surprised, and two of them said: 'This child is the son of the emperor who was thrown in the alley yesterday.'" Yesterday it was strange for cows and sheep to breastfeed, and now the jackals come to breastfeed, which is something that has never been heard of for thousands of years. I think that the emperor's son is always very blessed, and he has his own gods there to protect him. If it were our sons, not to mention being eaten by jackals, we would have frozen to death after spending the night in this mountain forest. One of the people said, 'I see that this emperor is very good-looking, and I wonder why the emperor and queen must abandon him, which is really incomprehensible.' Now let's take it and return it to the Emperor. If the emperor must not want it, I am willing to take him and raise him, what do you think?' everyone disagreed, and they came here. The villain couldn't stop them, so he had to come here with them, and now everyone outside is here, please make a decision. ”
The emperor said: "Then bring the child in! ”
The guard agreed and went out. The palace people brought in the child. When the emperor saw that the child was still not crying or crying, but his eyes were blazing, and his spirit was no different at all, he knew that he would definitely be a promising person in the future. asked Jian Di to hug it again and tell Jiang Yan. I don't know that Jiang Yan still doesn't believe it.
Jian Di was anxious and said: "Don't be stubborn anymore, the concubines and others may have deceived them, but now that the emperor has believed it, is the emperor also coming to deceive the concubine?"
Jiang Yan said: "I don't believe it after all. Things in the outside world are not necessarily reliable, and sure enough, this kid has such a supernatural ability, I must have tried it myself before I can believe it. Jian Di said: "How does the concubine try?"
Jiang Yan lowered her head and thought for a while, and said, "Isn't there a big pool in the courtyard outside this house?" Now that the bottom is frozen, I will take off this child's cotton clothes, wear a small coat alone, throw it on the ice, and sit in it to watch, if he does not freeze to death for an hour, I will raise him." ”
Jian Di thought about it, and it was another difficulty. In such a cold day, it is difficult for us adults to stand it when we wear heavy furs, not to mention a newborn child, can we lie on the ice alone? But we couldn't dissuade her, so we had to go outside to discuss with the emperor.
The jackal still doesn't eat it, and the ice may not freeze him to death." ”
So he took off the child's cotton clothes, put on a small coat alone, and put him on the ice. As soon as I put it down, I suddenly heard a sound of clapping in the air, and the courtyard was black. Everyone was taken aback, I don't know what it is, but if we look closely, there are countless big birds that have pounced into the pond one after another, or have used big wings to cushion the child's underneath, or use the big wings to cover the child's top, and the circle is in a circle, surrounded by dense ventilation, and they all lay still for an hour, and the emperor and others were stunned.
Jiang Yan was especially surprised in the room, and only then did she believe that the first two events were not fake. was repenting, and suddenly there was a sound of patting, and I saw that the big birds had flown away in an instant, and the child couldn't help the cold air on the ice, and with a quack, he began to cry. The cry was so loud that it could almost be heard on the road outside the wall, which showed that it was not a person who could not make a sound. At that time, the emperor saw it outside, and he was overjoyed, so he hurriedly asked someone to pick it up.
As soon as the words fell, the first one to run out and hug was Jian Di, it turned out that she had already untied her clothes, and once she picked it up, she wrapped it in her arms, walked in and said to Jiang Yan: "Concubine Zhengniang, please hug him, this child is going to freeze!"
Jiang Yan was ashamed, grateful, remorseful, and distressed at this time, and couldn't help but feel sad, and the tears fell like beads. A palace person had already handed over the child's clothes and dressed him, and Jiang Yan held him in his arms, and from then on, he raised him with his heart.
Because of the reason why the child wanted to be abandoned several times, Emperor Yu gave him a strange name, called "abandonment", and later gave him a number, called Duchen, the ancestor of the future Zhou Dynasty royal family, named abandoned, born in Jishan. The mother is the emperor Gao Xin's Yuan Zheng concubine, and there is a Tai daughter Jiang Yan. Abandoned by Yao as the position of "farmer", Shun was named Houji, fief Gu Taicheng, is a leader in the history of the development of the lunar calendar, the descendant of the god of Cang.
