441. All the way to the west
The 180,000 army marched westward, waving flags along the way, morale was high, and war horses neighed.
Zishou dozed off all the way, and estimated that he was almost near Qiaoshan, so he cheered up and asked the temple people around him to stare at to see when he would arrive at the place.
After a while, someone from the temple came to report:
"Your Majesty, I saw a stone tablet in front of me, with the words "Ancient Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor Bridge Mausoleum" written on it. ”
Zishou pretended to be surprised, summoned Shang Rong, and asked, "I heard that the Yellow Emperor ascended to heaven by a dragon, why is there a mausoleum here?"
Shang Rong hurriedly replied: "Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor picks copper first mountain, casts Ding Jing Mountain, after Dingcheng, ascends to heaven by dragon, the courtiers are reluctant, they catch the dragon's whiskers, pull a few pieces of the Yellow Emperor's clothes, after the Yellow Emperor ascends to heaven, the courtiers will tear off the Yellow Emperor's clothes and burial here, this bridge mountain Yellow Emperor mausoleum, is the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor's clothes and mounds, but it is located in the middle of nowhere, and there are pines and cypresses in the mountains to cover the sky and the sun, few people know, the minister is also writing a travelogue, listen to Dr. Xin mention, only to know. ”
After hearing this, the son looked up to the sky and sighed: "Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor is the three emperors and five emperors of ancient times, I admire it very much, today I came to this Yellow Emperor's mausoleum, how can I pass by?"
After saying that, he waved his hand: "Pass on my edict, the three armies will be stationed here for five days to worship Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor!"
Shang Rong nodded, worshipping the ancestors, it is a good thing.
Although the entourage was all slaves and there were no officials of the Ministry of Rites, Shang Rong was the minister in charge of rituals and music before he was promoted to prime minister, and he would not be suspected of offending the ancestors if he knew the procedures of worship clearly.
After the army stopped, Zishou ordered the soldiers to take off their armor again, use their robes to dig a robe of soil, 180,000 people unloaded their armor, and overnight, on the top of the bridge mountain, opposite the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, built a nine-turn ancestral platform.
This is about 24 meters high ramming platform, next to the platform also stands a stone tablet, on the book "Shang Xuan ancestral platform".
The next day, the sun rose in the east, and Zishou ordered an army of 180,000 to line up on Qiaoshan, Majiashan, and Yintai Mountain.
The palace music was everywhere, and the singing of "saying that business is constant" echoed, and the soldiers stood solemnly one by one.
Zishou took off his armor and hung it on a cypress tree.
This cypress tree is said to have been planted by the Yellow Emperor himself in the year of the death of his ancestor, and it has been covered with a pavilion now.
There is a stone next to the cypress tree, the bluestone surface is engraved with the big footprints of the Yellow Emperor, it is rumored that throwing copper coins to the footprints of the Yellow Emperor can measure luck, and throwing the big toe luck to the footprints is the best, good luck.
Zishou took advantage of the crowd and secretly threw a copper coin, with a small thumb, secretly unlucky, this thing is not credible, and asked for a few copper coins from the temple people, and tried repeatedly until he threw the thumb before walking alone to the ancestral altar.
Two stone winding paths lead to the top of the platform, surrounded by ancient cypresses, the top of the platform is as high as the forest table, and the surrounding scenery is in full view.
One by one, the rest of the soldiers went around to the altar.
At this time, the generals in the army had been waiting in front of the altar for a long time, silently and just standing with their hands down.
Shang Rong held the incense and closed it to the incense case and began to sing the sacrificial words.
As for the three kneeling and nine knocking, there is no such thing, these cumbersome things have long been canceled by the way when the child was changed to human sacrifice and human sacrifice in the past few years, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, and the mediocre value is saved in this way, under the poverty of many years, Zishou has long learned to be diligent and thrifty.
"Heaven and Zhiqi Rui, sages and music, enlightenment in the Yellow Emperor's Chang, want to uncover the dust, the heritage is accumulated in the history, watch the homeland, and the saint is in the yellow ....."
Zishou raised his hand and sprinkled a glass of wine on the ground, as for the fruits and livestock used for sacrifice, there were no fruits, how could the army go out to fight, how could they bring these things.
Shang Rong proposed to find some sacrifices from the nearby people, in the past, the sacrifice was made to the Shang kings of the past dynasties, and the sacrifice was lighter, but the Yellow Emperor was one of the three emperors and five emperors of the human race, since it was to be worshipped, the ceremony was still grander.
Zi was sternly refused, if he really wanted to make a grand sacrifice, even if he ordered that all of them be returned after the sacrifice, there would definitely be a lot of things consumed, so why bother?
As for whether someone will spray themselves for disrespecting their ancestors, Zishou doesn't care at all, just spray it, thank you!
However, although the sacrifices were not enough, the courtiers also had their own ideas.
Shang Rong screamed, then came out with a sad cry and took the lead in crying.
Yin Po and the others were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, all of them shouted sadly, crying extremely sadly.
It doesn't matter if the sacrifices are not enough, the 180,000 army is full of sincerity!
Because Ao Lie was not human, his reaction was much slower than that of everyone, and when he reacted, he was already drowned in by the loud crying of the soldiers of the three armies.
Zishou was stunned by this scene, and his adaptability is quite strong!
More than 1,000 years have passed since the Yellow Emperor, even if he still retains reverence for the Yellow Emperor, he can ask himself, who will really cry?
Shang Rong, who was crying, secretly admired his wit, only an old fritter like himself who knew how to sacrifice the three dynasties as an official could make such a smooth arrangement.
Only people like themselves who have been in-laws with nobles know what the sacrifice values most, as long as the scene is done enough, even the nobles are difficult to find faults.
Look, this is called worrying about the king!
The 180,000 army cried for more than a minute, and no matter how long it was, it didn't look like it, although it was a lie to itself, but it couldn't be exposed!
Shang Rong also stopped crying and began to recite the sacrificial text.
That is, some "remembering the ancestors, not being afraid, and increasing sorrow" and the like, after all, the specific actions of the Yellow Emperor are really not clear, and the blank six hundred years are placed there, and there are too many things that are unknown.
The 180,000 army didn't expect the sacrifice to be so cumbersome, basically all of them were expressionless, their eyes seemed to be dead, and they just felt very bored.
It's not that they don't respect the Yellow Emperor, but because most of these people are slaves in the army, not to mention sacrifices, they were to be used as sacrifices a few years ago, and they don't like sacrifices even more than ordinary people, and they may even have relatives and friends, who were killed by the main family on the grounds of "sacrificing the Yellow Emperor" as human animals and human sacrifices.
Many people thought of this, and couldn't help but hold the blade in their hands tighter, if it weren't for the king of Xu, in such a huge sacrifice, they would probably not be standing to worship the ancestors, but lying down as the ancestors' sacrifices.
Seeing that the people below him were drowsy, and no one noticed him, his right hand shrank into the sleeve of the imperial robe, and a small bottle entered the palm of his palm.
You have to eat on the march, I'm the boss, eat something good, it's not too much mutton, right?
Since you want to eat shabu mutton, it's not too much to bring some seasonings with you, right?
Zishou's index finger lightly touched the vial, and the peppercorn powder in the bottle fluttered in the wind.
Ion was affected by the recent Shang Rong's nose, and he couldn't help but sneeze, and the sacrifice stopped.
Who knew that this one sneeze came out, and one after another there was another burst of sneezing, and the soldiers sneezed continuously.
Zi was feigned anger and shouted: "What a bold man, he actually coughed when worshiping Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, disturbed the rest of the ancestors, and destroyed the sacrifice!"
Shang Rong realized the seriousness of the situation, just cough one or two, a large number of soldiers are all coughing, this is a big disrespect!
But he also found that this thing was a little weird, why did the soldiers all cough in unison?
This doesn't make sense!
Could it be that the Yellow Emperor was dissatisfied with this sacrifice?
Shang Rong's eyes widened, it was rumored that the Yellow Emperor ascended to heaven by dragon, that is to say, the Yellow Emperor was not dead, was it that when the Yellow Emperor accepted the sacrifice, he found that there were no livestock, no wine and meat, and he was angry?
Even.... In the past, there were human sacrifices and human sacrifices, but now there are none, could it be that Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor wants to take this sneeze offense and sacrifice people as sacrifices?
This is not Shang Rong's admiration of human sacrifice and human worship, after all, his vision has not yet departed from the limitations of the times, human sacrifice and human worship, which have been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, even if they are abolished for a while, it is difficult to completely leave his mind, and therefore, it is one of the most stable sources of mediocrity for Zishou.
The soldiers who sneezed down were also terrified, what if they were really killed as a sacrifice?
Shang Rong thought for a while, and came up with a word to calm the anger of the king of Xu, these soldiers can be punished a little, but they can't really kill, in terms of sacrifice, it is better to requisition the nearby people's families, and do it again solemnly, disturb the people, and the matter of sacrificing the ancestors is even greater.
Zishou looked left and right, but didn't find the table in his hand, so he had to stomp his feet, and said: "I think about it, all the soldiers cough together, it is absolutely unusual, I know a little bit about the art of feng shui, but I can see some clues." ”
As soon as the soldiers heard that the king was not punished, the cough seemed to have other reasons, and the hanging heart suddenly relaxed, and they all listened with bated breath and trembling, yes, yes, everyone coughed at the same time It was too weird, we definitely didn't mean to disrespect the Yellow Emperor!
When the son saw this, he began to fool.
Look at feng shui? There is really feng shui in this world, and those who cultivate immortals understand it, but they definitely don't understand it.
Fortunately, there is no one who understands feng shui among the people who accompanied the army this time, so they can fool around!
"I have seen the shape of every mountain range here, even the shape of every tree, the art of feng shui, probably not out of the situation, the direction, Yintai Mountain and Qiaoshan are opposite, because the mountain is uplifted, so it is called Yintai. ”
And the raised seal platform is facing the mouth of the Yellow Emperor's mausoleum, so that the mausoleum is dark and gloomy, and the field of vision is extremely narrow. ”
"A few days ago, fortunately, I have not found any abnormality, today I climbed this ancestral platform, the field of vision is wide, at a glance, the towering Yintai Mountain, the top of the Yintai, actually twisted up and down, the upper half looks extremely awkward, the lower half is uneven, although the whole mountain is not full of holes, but also crooked. ”
"This Yintai Mountain, which is opposite Qiaoshan, is beautiful on the surface, but it is actually a fierce mountain, which damages the feng shui of the entire Qiaoshan and the entire Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum!"
Shang Rong was a little speechless, although what His Majesty said was the Tao, why did he always feel a little unreliable?
I haven't heard of the king studying feng shui!
However, the soldiers below believed it, they had no culture, and they had never been in contact with people who knew feng shui.
And it was they who sneezed just now, they knew that they had made a mistake, and their hearts were weak, and the explanation of the fierce mountain of the king of the Xuan Mountain exonerated them, which couldn't be better.
Zishou is very satisfied, since it is a fierce mountain, what should I do?
Move the tomb!
He said loudly: "It must have been granted by the Yellow Emperor of Xuanyuan just now, the mausoleum is facing the fierce mountain, suppressing the feng shui, for today's plan, the only way to move the mausoleum, all the soldiers must dig up the underground palace and move the mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor to Yunmeng Mountain!"
As soon as Feng Shui is punctured, the situation breaks out, and the mediocrity comes.
Do you dare to dig the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum? Do you still have to dig the Fuxi Mausoleum and the Shennong Mausoleum?
Zishou really planned to move the tombs of the ancestors together and protect them, how good!
However, the premise is that Tuxingsun can find a location, in addition to the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, the other mausoleums are Daji, Shen Gongbao and others can't say why.
...........
Naturally, it doesn't take 180,000 people to dig the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, and it is estimated that the underground palace can't accommodate so much, so Zishou first ordered the mountain to be closed, and ordinary people are not allowed to go up to Qiaoshan.
Zishou didn't know how long it would take to dig the tomb and move the grave, because Ji Fa was leading a large army to fight the Qiang people, for safety reasons, he ordered to do layers of vigilance on the mountain.
In case Ji Fa found out that the 180,000 troops of the Great Shang, including the king of Zhou, were all in Qiaoshan on the way back to the division, and directly surrounded Qiaoshan or lit a fire, it would be very cold.
Under the multiple arrangement, the whole bridge mountain is like a military fortress, five steps and a sentry, ten steps and a post, some dangerous hidden places are full of secret sentry, faintly visible between the grass and trees The cold light flickered, obviously there is a strong bow and a hard crossbow hidden in it.
This was the first large-scale military operation since the slaves formed the army, and it was also a good training, and Zishou felt that if the Xiqi soldiers and horses wanted to forcibly attack the mountain for such a defense, they were afraid that it would be difficult.
As for the rumors of Nezha, Wei Hu and others in the Xiqi army, there is no need to worry too much, the gods have not risen, and it is okay to take revenge on the Qiang people who plundered Xiqi, but they really don't dare to attack the soldiers and horses of the Great Shang at will.
Shang and Zhou cause and effect are not something that one or two disciples of three generations can control.
Zishou took the guards and part of the Imperial Forest Army through the Yongdao and came to the open space in front of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum.
The mausoleum is magnificent, solemn and solemn, and there are some beast statues such as bears, stalks, pi, pi, xi, tigers, etc., after all, the Yellow Emperor is a very professional animal tamer.
And under this ground, there is the mausoleum underground palace.
Zishou is very curious, the first record in history to worship the Yellow Emperor Mausoleum of Qiaoshan is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and according to the archaeology of later generations, the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor of Qiaoshan was first built in the Qin Dynasty, and the Shang Dynasty could not have it at all.
But the fact is that in the Shang Dynasty, which was a god's worldview, the Yellow Emperor existed, and the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum also existed.
So what's in this underground palace?
Chao Tian was in charge of arming outside, Li Lie entered the underground palace first, and Yin Rui was guarded by Zishou's side.
Walking down the road, the grave relocation army gradually adapted to the dark environment.
After Dayu Dingding Kyushu plastic dragon vein, the human race is different, not only can read the newspaper can read such an incredible thing, the ancients because of malnutrition caused by night blindness is gone.
There are stone walls on both sides of the road, and the sound of footsteps echoes on the stone walls.
Zishou and the Qianling army walked all the way to the end of the road, and what caught their eyes was a narrow corridor, and then along the corridor for a while, there was a huge stone gate.
The stone gate can not be seen at a glance, the stone walls on the left and right sides are uneven, there are obvious traces of artificial carving, and behind the door is the mausoleum.
Looking left and right, I couldn't find any mechanism, but a small soldier inadvertently pushed it lightly, pushing the giant stone door open.
Zishou was speechless, and felt more and more that it was a wise decision to move the tomb of the Yellow Emperor.
The people of the Yellow Emperor period were too simple, there was not even half a mechanism along the way, and the last checkpoint, which looked extremely bluffing, did not even need to be violently dismantled, and could be pushed open casually.
Now there are few people who know about the Yellow Emperor's mausoleum, and tomb robbery is not popular, what about in the future?
As long as the tomb robbers came in and saw that the Yellow Emperor himself was smiling and waving, no matter what was inside, it had to be emptied, and it was common to turn out the bones and throw them on the ground.
