Chapter 33 Dayu was ordered to control the water
Di Yao was already ninety years old at this time, too old. www.biquge.info All the political affairs in the court have been handed over to Da Situ Shun to deal with. Only when the state encounters a particularly important matter will it intervene.
Because water control is the most important major event of the current country, it is necessary to ask Di Yao to come forward. The first is to show that the imperial court attaches great importance to the management of the world's floods, and the second is to demonstrate the authority of the imperial court and show the grandeur of the ordination ceremony.
Early the next morning, Dayu washed and dressed, and went to see Da Situ Shun. Da Situ Shun followed Dayu, and led the group to the court to see Di Yao.
The group came to the front of the main hall of the court. Da Situ Shun asked Dayu people to wait outside the hall and went to report first.
After a while, an official came out of the main hall and said in a loud voice, "Xuanwen ordered to enter the hall." ”
Dayu ordered everyone to wait outside. Walk up the steps of the main hall by yourself.
Dayu walked into the hall and stood to watch, only to see Di Yao sitting on the seat in the middle of the hall. Di Yao is nine feet tall, with a white beard, white hair, a red face, colorful eyebrows, and sideburns that are seven feet two inches long.
Da Situ Shun and Da Si Nongji stood on either side of Di Yao. There are also many ministers who stand in both sides.
Dayu took a few steps forward and saluted upward. said in his mouth: "Wen Ming see the Son of Heaven." Di Yao said: "Wen Ming, come close and speak." Dayu replied: "Yes." He took a few more steps forward and stood still.
Di Yao looked Yu up and down, and saw that Yu was tall, handsome and mighty, and talented. And the demeanor is generous, the advance and retreat are moderate, the voice is loud, and the boy is steady.
Di Yao opened his mouth and asked, "Wen Ming, how old are you this year?" Dayu replied: "If you go back to the Son of Heaven, I am eighteen years old." Di Yao asked again: "Wen Ming, how many years have you read?"
Dayu replied: "If you go back to the Son of Heaven, I will first study with my father for three years. After his father was called to control the water, he studied under Huaxiazi for seven years, and then went to Taihua Mountain to study geography under Houtu. ”
Di Yao asked again, "Wen Ming, have you ever learned martial arts?"
Dayu replied: "I followed Teacher Huaxiazi to learn the Yellow Emperor's Mixed Yuan Gong, Liangyi Legs, Four Elephant Fists, Bagua Palms and Thirty-six Ways Dragon Descending Axe Method. ”
Di Yao asked again: "Wen Ming, I heard that you have seen the ancestor of Fuxi? The ancestor of Fuxi also gave you a "measuring ruler", is there such a thing?"
Dayu replied: "This is true." Wen Ming was fortunate to have seen the ancestor of Fuxi in the cave of Mengmen Mountain, and the measuring ruler was in my hand. ”
Di Yao asked again: "I heard that you found the Heavenly Book "Golden Jane and Jade Seal" in the Southeast Heavenly Pillar again. Later, he got the "Summoning God Rune" from the Queen Mother of Kunlun Mountain. Is all this true?"
Dayu replied: "It's true, it's all true." When I went to the southeast Tianzhu to look for the book "Golden Jane and Jade Seal", my teacher Hua Xia Zi instructed me to go. Just halfway to the imperial capital, I was sent by the Queen Mother of the West to recruit me to Kunlun Mountain and give me the "Summoning God Rune". ”
Di Yao said again, "Can you show me all these treasures?"
Dayu replied: "The measuring ruler and the "Summoning God Rune" are in my hands, and the "Golden Jane and Jade Seal" are in the hands of the attaché outside the hall. ”
As he spoke, Dayu took out the "Measuring Ruler" given by Fu Xi and the "Summoning God Rune" given by the Queen Mother of the West from his arms and presented them, and some officials took them and presented them to Di Yao.
Di Yao took the "Measuring Ruler" and "Summoning God Rune" in his hand and watched them carefully one by one.
Another official went outside the hall to Xuan Xuangong and Huang Ge to enter the hall with the Book of Heaven. Dayu took the "Golden Jane Jade Seal", "Luo Shu" and the red and bi jade books from the hands of the two, and presented them together. Di Yao looked at it carefully one by one again.
Di Yao carefully looked at the treasures one by one. Praise while watching, full of praise. After reading them all, he returned them to Dayu and said: "Wenming, you have to make good use of these treasures to subdue the flood in the world as soon as possible." Dayu replied: "Dayu will not disappoint the court." ”
Dayu grabbed a handful of "Shatang Fruit" from his arms and presented it to Di Yao. Said: "This is the god fruit produced on Kunlun Mountain given by the Queen Mother of the West, called "Shatang Fruit", people can avoid water when they eat it, and the fruit core can be fixed and waterproof by the river. Please share it with the ministers. An official took the Shatang fruit and presented it to Di Yao's copy.
Di Yao continued: "Wen Ming, I heard that the Queen Mother of the West also sent you four heavenly generals. You have summoned them into the temple as well, and I will see the heavenly generals. Dayu said: "There are also two attachés who originally followed my father to control the water, the two of them are known for their good walking, and they have also made a lot of efforts in the past when they were controlling the water. Please summon the Son of Heaven as well. Di Yao said, "Then let them enter the temple together, and I will take a look." ”
And some officials went out of the temple and summoned them into the temple.
Everyone walked into the main hall, lined up, stood at the highness, and saluted in unison.
Dayu introduced them one by one: "The four leaders are heavenly generals." The first is called Kangchen, the second is called Xuanyu, the third is called Kong Lu, and the fourth is called Dazhang.
The latter two generals, one named Chang Xin and the other named Zhuhai, were the attachés of the late father's subordinates, and they were both known for being good at walking.
The two who first went to the hall to present the "Book of Heaven", one is called Xuan Gong and the other is called Huang Ge, these two people are strong in martial arts, they are the childhood partners of the minister, and they have been following the minister's left and right. ”
Di Yao looked at Dayu's finger.
I saw Gengchen with white face and red lips, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and heroic and chic.
The red face, the square sea, is majestic and mighty.
Kong Lu has a blue indigo face, a red beard, and is not angry and arrogant,
The big face is like the bottom of the pot, a beard, like a galloping horse.
The height of the four people is more than one foot and two feet, which is a head taller than ordinary people.
After Di Yao looked at the heavenly generals in turn, he was overjoyed. couldn't help but praise: "It's really the demeanor of a heavenly god general." ”
In the end, I saw Changxin and Zhuhai, and saw that the two were as tall as the gods in the sky. Not only is the body long, but the legs are also long, and it is a useful material.
Looking at Xuan Gong and Huang Ge again, they are both tall, strong, tiger-backed and majestic.
Di Yao said: "I am grateful to the Queen Mother of the West for sending four heavenly generals to the mortal world to help me subdue demons and eliminate monsters. With the help of the four heavenly generals, there is no longer any fear of mountain spirits and water monsters coming to make trouble. The four generals are also useful talents. With you to assist Wenming in controlling the water, the water control will definitely be successful. When the day comes, the court will reward you. If there are any of the four heavenly generals who are willing to stay in Huaxia, they can also be crowned princes. ”
After Di Yao said these words, he got up from his seat, stood on the court, and said, "Wen Ming stepped forward to listen to the announcement. Then solemnly unfolded the edict and solemnly announced to Dayu: "Emperor Yao, the Son of Heaven of China, said: I now appoint Wen Ming to succeed you as the title of your father Chongbo, give the title of Dayu, and preside over all the affairs of the world's water control." I will grant you the Charms, and I may requisition the princes and the people of the whole country, and the grain, grass, and supplies. In case of emergency, you can act cheaply, first cut and then play. I hope that you will work diligently, live up to the high expectations of the imperial court, subdue the floods in the world as soon as possible, and rescue the affected people in the world. This edict. ”
Dayu bowed to the order again, and said in his mouth: "The minister Dayu is edicted, and the minister will do his best, live up to his mission, complete the unfinished business of his father, and subdue the floods in the world as soon as possible, so that the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment, in order to repay the kindness of the great Situ and the Son of Heaven." "After worshipping, take the four heavenly generals and the four mortal generals to retreat from the palace.
