The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, Ji Jing, was frightened and doubtful, so he came to the court sick and summoned the prince Ji Gongni and the great ministers Zheng Boyu, Cheng Boxiu, Taishi Boyangfu, Dazong Bo Zhaohu and other important ministers to discuss the matter to determine the bad luck.
The important minister and Taishi Boyangfu, who had titles such as the Grand Elder of the Royal Family's Tianyuan and the Master of the Book of Changes, was ordered to perform a hexagram in front of the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty.
After counting the yarrows, the hexagrams are up and down, which is a "bi hexagram".
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Book of Changes, which was deduced and perfected by King Wen of Zhou Dynasty, became a prominent science after the Great Zhou Dynasty unified the world, and was listed as a required course for the princes and nobles. There are many people who know the basics of it, both inside and outside the court.
Therefore, when all the ministers saw that it was a "bi hexagram", they knew that this hexagram was a good hexagram. They all breathed a sigh of relief and congratulated the emperor one after another.
But only Minister Boyang's father still had a sad face and frowned, as if there was a huge stone weighing on his heart.
King Xuan was displeased when he saw the dragon's face and said weakly: "Tai Shi, I know a little bit about Chinese studies. I know that hexagrams are a good omen, so why is your brows furrowed and worried?"
Boyang's father fell down on the ground and said solemnly: "Your Majesty. The words of the hexagram are 'good luck, original óß, Yuan Yongzhen, no fault. If you are restless, your future husband will be unlucky.' Wei Chen is worried that although he is now Ji, but the future is unpredictable. I am a fire virtue, Shang Chi. But before the day, a boy in red was sent down every day to warn, which seemed to be a metaphor that something detrimental to the country and the country was about to happen. The ministers were frightened and wanted to give birth to a son. The 'three hexagrams of buying heaven' left by Ya Gong are used to deduce innate numbers to determine bad luck, what do you think your majesty would like?"
It turns out that after the conferment of gods, Prime Minister Jiang Ziya was worried about the country, and deliberately left the "three hexagrams of buying heaven" so that future generations could ask one of the hexagrams to calculate bad luck when encountering undecided state affairs.
The emperor originally had many doubts, but when he saw Boyang's father speaking so solemnly, he was also secretly frightened, so he nodded in agreement.
So, Boyang's father asked Jiang Ziya to bring out one of the "three hexagrams of buying heaven" left by Jiang Ziya, which was the three golden coins sealed by the imperial edict. Boyang's father kneaded the formula with all his strength and recited the incantation, and threw the three coins with his sleeves. When the coins rolled to the ground, he looked at the negative and positive sides, then muttered something in his mouth, and started counting with his fingers.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they saw Boyang's father exerting all his strength and urging all his magic power to run wildly. His expression became more and more gloomy, uglier and more nervous, and there were actually large drops of cold sweat on his forehead. Next, his face even started to turn pale and pale.
Looking at the posture, it seems that Boyang's father has racked his brains and exhausted all his energy.
After a while, Boyang's father suddenly laughed three times hoarsely and burst into tears three times. He looked miserable and said in a weak voice: "Sheep are swallowed by ghosts, and horses are chased by dogs. It is a bad omen. Sheep are Wei, and horses are Wu. , based on the twelve branches, it should be in the year of Weiwu, that is, fifteen years later, there will be a disaster of national subjugation. This is calculated by the veteran minister with great effort, and it must be very effective. May your Majesty be careful!"
After saying that, he shouted loudly, and Boyang's father opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell unconscious to the ground.
Taishi Ling Boyang¡¯s father¡¯s strange behavior shocked the Emperor Zhou and all his ministers!
The emperor was so shocked that he quickly asked the eunuch to send Boyang's father to Jitianyuan for treatment.
For a moment, the monarch and his ministers were at a loss, and they didn't know what to do.
After the dispersion of the dynasty, Zheng Boyou was worried, so he asked the wizard Jixian to resolve his doubts.
Seeing that Ji Xian was speechless, Ji You said, "Why is the wizard so silent?"
Ji Xian said: "In the past, when the Yellow Emperor came to the world, giant earthworms and giant ants appeared on the ground. The Yellow Emperor was overjoyed when he saw it and said: 'The earthy spirit prevails!' Because the Yellow Emperor was a native virtue, the country enjoyed good fortune. Later, Dayu came to the throne. The vegetation in winter did not decay, but grew luxuriantly. Dayu was extremely happy and said: "The energy of wood is victorious!" Because the five elements of the Xia Dynasty belong to wood, which shows that its national destiny is prosperous. When Tang established the Shang Dynasty, "Swords grew out of the water." Tang happily said, "Golden Qi wins!" This is because Shang De belongs to water. In the time of King Wen of our dynasty, fire flowed from the sky, red birds held pills, and books were collected in Zhoushe."
"When King Wen saw this, he said happily: 'Fire Qi wins!' That's because I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, have the virtue of fire, so I admire the red color. And the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty, embodies the wonderful meaning of the five elements of 'fire overcoming metal'. This is all There is a definite number.¡±
"Since red is the symbol of fire virtue, the boy in red descending from the sky to warn us is obviously a hint that there is a change in our luck. I would like to perform a hexagram to calculate it."
Ji Xian raised his hand and counted the yarrow. After a moment, he frowned and sighed silently.
Zheng Boyou was surprised and asked, "Why do you sigh, Master?"
Ji Xian said: "This hexagram is Qian Shang Kun Xia, so it's a hexagram or not."
Zheng Boyou said: "What if it's not a hexagram?"
Ji Xian said: "This hexagram is in the tenthThe message hexagram corresponds to the seventh month, which is the beginning of autumn, when Yang Qi declines from strength to strength and Yin Qi rises. The hexagram says: Otherwise, bandits will be detrimental to a gentleman's chastity. The villain's Tao is long, and the gentleman's Tao disappears. It's an ominous sign. "
Zheng Boyou asked hurriedly: "What's ominous?"
Ji Xian took out a knife and coin, tossed it, counted it with his fingers, and then fell silent.
Zheng Boyou hurriedly asked: "How?"
Ji Xian sighed and said: "I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, have a virtue of fire. I have clearly calculated that my yang energy will be declining and my yin energy will rise. The fate of the country in the Great Zhou Dynasty will no longer exist, and the world will perish at the hands of women. But why has it been more than two hundred years since the founding of the country? Come on, it has been widely rumored among the people that my great Zhou Dynasty will last for eight hundred years. It is really strange and strange!"
Zheng Boyou also sighed: "Today in the palace, Taishi Boyang's father also said the same thing. As the saying goes, when a country is about to perish, there must be evildoers. Now the dangerous signs have appeared, and the emperor is lying in bed, gradually revealing the secrets of the next life. This situation is really making me worried!"
There is no doubt that the Great Zhou Dynasty is in turmoil, and if the fun-loving Crown Prince Ji Gongnir comes to take the throne as the emperor, the Great Zhou Dynasty will definitely be more dangerous. This is what Zheng Boyou did not say.
Ji Xiandao: "Boyang's father's words, 'Sheeps are swallowed by ghosts, horses are chased by dogs', seem to imply that the danger to me in Great Zhou is the Quanrong people from the north. Your Majesty, you must be on guard! Wei Chen thinks , the east belongs to wood, and the five elements of wood generate fire. Our country, the Great Zhou Dynasty, has the virtue of fire. If we move eastward, we may be able to flourish the virtue of fire, and the Great Zhou Dynasty may be able to survive for a while. Wei Chen judged that as long as our country, the Great Zheng Kingdom, moves eastward, Not only will disaster be avoided, but there will also be great fortune. Why didn¡¯t your Majesty make up his mind earlier?"
Zheng Boyou Shen Ling said: "I have arranged for my subordinates to cultivate private fields in the wastelands of Guo and Hao, and do light corvee and small taxes to win the hearts of the people. Once the time comes, I will slowly annex these two small vassal states and make the big country a big one." Zheng moved here."
Ji Xian smiled and said: "The kings of Guo and Hao are greedy, like to take advantage of small things, and are timid. The people do not obey them. Now, you are the chief minister of this dynasty, and the people love you. Is your request true?" When you move to that area, Lord Guo, the king of the Eastern Guo Kingdom, is just a subordinate, and his position is far below that of the king. I'm afraid I won't dare to fight against you."
"Your Majesty, you are the brother of the Son of Heaven, and you have the right to do so. If Zheng goes to the Yueshan area, Lord Guo will have no choice but to give up part of his land to you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty will move Zheng." Once there, if you show great benevolence and righteousness to calm people's hearts, the people of Guo and Hao will be your people in the future."
"In this way, the Dazheng State has Yue Mountain as its support, its back is the surging Yellow River, Jishui is on the left, and Luohe is on the right. It also has the danger of Hulao Pass. If the people are prosperous and the country is rich, then the hegemony can be achieved!"
Zheng Boyou was silent after hearing this, with a look of intolerance, and after a moment he said: "Since the Great Zhou Dynasty has the virtue of fire, and the south belongs to fire, then if our country moves to the Yangtze River Basin in the south, will the virtue of fire be more prosperous?"
Ji Xian replied: "In the past, the fire god Zhu Rong held fire for the ancient emperor Gao Xin (Emperor Ku). He made great contributions and was named the God of Fire. However, his descendants did not flourish in the Xia and Shang dynasties until our dynasty. , the Jing Kingdom was established. Now that the royal family is weak, the Jing Kingdom is slowly prospering. If the Zheng Kingdom moves to the land of Jingchu, it will definitely be squeezed out by the Jing Kingdom, and the national destiny will not last long."
Zheng Boyou said: "If the south doesn't work, what about the west?"
Ji Xianbo replied: "The land of Fengqi in the west is occupied by the Quanrong tribe. Its people are greedy and profit-loving, and it is difficult to live in peace."
Zheng Boyou paused for a moment and asked: "Since the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty has weakened, which vassal states do the witches think will prosper?"
Ji Xianbo replied: "It should be Zheng, Qi, Qin, Jin, Chu, right? Qi State, surnamed Jiang, is a descendant of Boyi. Boyi once assisted Emperor Yao in taking charge of the etiquette system. Its founding king Jiang Ziya laid the foundation for the great Zhou Dynasty. If he makes great contributions, his descendants will prosper, that¡¯s for sure.¡±
"The Qin State, whose surname is Ying, is a descendant of the ancient emperor Shaohao. Shaohao is the Emperor of the West and dominates the affairs of the west. The Qin State will rise in the west. As for Zhu Rong, the ancestor of the Jing State, becoming the Southern Emperor of Heaven and the God of Fire, the Jing State will definitely Rise in the South.¡±
Zheng Boyou nodded speechlessly.
Ji Xian said: "Wei Chen predicts that something big will happen in Haojing soon, which may bring unexpected disasters. It is best for the monarch to gradually send away the family members and people in advance."
Zheng Boyou said: "I have gradually moved my property and people to Guo and Hao. In order to avoid arousing the vigilance of the monarchs of these two countries, I will keep it strictly confidential for the time being. I will secretly send the crown prince to sit here in the near future. My love Nv Wanyun, I went to the Dongshan sect in the west. If something big happens in Haojing, I have nothing to worry about. I can only live and die with Sheji to comfort the spirits of our ancestors in heaven."
Ji Xian said: "The king's wishesIt has been decided, and the minister is very pleased. So, I would like to ask your Majesty to explain why the Monarch said that the two strange things that happened three days ago are related to the legend of the 'True Dragon Emperor'? "
