Chapter 1140: National Sacrifice
Coming out of the Chu Palace, as soon as they arrived at the Zhaochang Mansion, the six monarchs and others immediately surrounded Zhaochang.
"Zuo Yin, just now in the main hall, why did you agree with the king to let Jiezi go to Jianghuai to investigate?"
"Yes, don't you know that Jiezi is Qu Yuan's party? Hmph, looking down, as long as the pick-up arrives in Jianghuai, whether the people take the initiative to gather or not, the pick-up will definitely report to the king, saying that we will kill the people. โ
"Yes, that's exactly the reason, Zuo Yin, you just agreed to send someone to Jianghuai in the main hall first, which will kill us."
"Well, now I'm still wondering in my heart, Zuo Yin, which side are you on."
โยทยทยทโ
Zhao Chang listened to the seventeen feudal monarchs who kept talking about each word, and was suddenly upset, and waved his hand again and again:
"Gentlemen, don't you know who you are, but you have always opposed the change of the law."
Liujun complained: "Zuo Yin, although I know that you are against changing the law, but now the problem is us, once the son goes to Jianghuai and exposes all our affairs to the king, then we will have to bear the thunderous wrath of the king." โ
Dongcheng Jun nodded thoughtfully: "Zuo Yin, you also saw it just now, Yinling Jun was cut to a fourth-level title, his fief was reduced by half, and the people were reduced by two percent, and he was reprimanded by the king.
When our affairs are brought to the king, we are the ones who suffer. โ
"Yes..."
"Not bad..."
"We are the ones who suffer!"
At this time, Shu Yongjun looked at Zhao Changhu and said suspiciously: "Zuo Yin, don't you want to force me and others to a dead end, and then use this to provoke other feudal monarchs to rebel against the king." โ
As soon as these words came out, Liujun and the others were stunned, and then took a step back in horror, while looking at Zhao Chang hesitantly:
"Zuo Yin you..."
When Zhao Chang saw that the six monarchs and the others were all looking at him in horror, his face was already full of distrust of him, and he immediately raised his hand and cursed and swore an oath: "Gentlemen, I swear that I have no such intention in the next place, if I plan to harm you in the next place, I am willing to suffer from ten thousand arrows piercing my heart." โ
Liujun and the others swore an oath when they saw Zhaochang, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao saw the situation, and immediately opened his mouth to explain: "Gentlemen, I just agreed with the king just now, and that's because I already have a way in Xia, which will make it impossible for the son to go to Jianghuai, and it will also make the king suspend the new law. โ
"What's the solution?" Dongcheng-kun immediately asked.
Zhao Chang Liujun and the others all looked at it expectantly, smiled, shook his head and said, "Don't say it, don't say it, it won't work if you say it." โ
Long Shujun frowned and said: "Zuo Yin, if you don't say it, how will we know that your method is feasible, how do we know that you are not temporarily stabilizing us." โ
Liujun continued: "Yes, in case..."
When Zhao Chang heard this, he shook his head and said: "You are different from the past, no matter what you did in your respective fiefdoms back then, the king would know nothing, and the ministers of Yingdu fooled the king back then, but the king didn't know anything either.
Now it is not the case, the spies of Zhibeiya are all over the country, whether it is in Yingdu or everywhere, as long as there is a wind and grass, the king will immediately know.
Just like Yinlingjun, in the past, if the news of your Jianghuai wanted to reach Yingdu, it would be extremely difficult, but now, Yinlingjun was cooking and killing the people in the fiefdom with his front feet, and the king immediately knew that he took the opportunity to hit me by surprise today, and this is the reason why the method cannot be spoken. โ
Liujun said angrily: "Zuo Yin, you don't believe us anymore, you must know that we are people in the same boat." โ
Shu Yongjun continued: "Also, Zuo Yin, it is us who are in trouble now, you have to give me a hint." Otherwise, we'll wait a few days and we'll just stupidly go back and wait for your news.
That..."
Shu Yongjun flicked his sleeves and said with a cold face: "Then please forgive me for not accompanying you, and when you return to Fengjun in the next time, you will immediately dismiss the people." โ
"Yes."
"Shu Yongjun is reasonable."
When Zhao Chang heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, this time the king will definitely suspend the new law before you leave Yingdu." โ
"Oh." Shu Yongjun was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Zuo Yin, this is true, you must know that waiting for two days is the time for the national sacrifice to the Black Emperor, and after the sacrifice, we will return to the fiefdom." โ
"Please rest assured." Akitsune nodded confidently.
A few days later, on the first day of the fourth month, it was the time for the Chu State to hold a great court meeting, but today the Chu State did not hold a court meeting, but held a national sacrifice to the Black Emperor.
Early in the morning of this day, Xiong Huai dressed in costume, took the prince and the nobles, under the escort of a large number of troops, followed by a large number of people, and came to the Black Emperor Temple on the bank of the river.
Xiong Huai stood on the high platform, looked at the crowds of ministers and nobles in the audience, and said loudly: "Fathers and brothers, since the Black Emperor showed miracles in the past twenty years, the widow has been valued by the Black Emperor and given the production method of two artifacts.
Among them, the five-color stone has been made by the craftsmen of our Chu State several years ago, and now, this second artifact Wahuang paper has also been successfully made. The successful development of these two artifacts showed the people of the world that the Black Emperor was really protecting the Chu State, the widows, and the fathers and brothers.
Yes, today the widow brought his father and brother here to worship the Black Emperor, one is to thank the Black Emperor, in order to express the widow's gratitude to the Black Emperor's gifts, today, the widow decided to sacrifice the Black Emperor with three prisons.
Second, the purpose of this sacrifice is to pray to the Black Emperor for blessings, and ask the Black Emperor to protect the Chu State, the country and the people, and the wind and rain are smooth. As a sign of sincerity, the widow will personally bathe in the Black Emperor Temple and fast for three days.
Now the sacrifice begins. โ
At this time, when the ministers and nobles in the audience heard the words of the King of Chu, the craftsmen of the Chu State succeeded in making an artifact again according to the secret recipe given by the Black Emperor, and they couldn't help but be excited and proud.
"Black Emperor..."
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted Black Emperor, and then, the surrounding people immediately responded:
"Black Emperor..."
"Black Emperor..."
After a while, there were shouts everywhere on the banks of the river, as if all the people were cheering for the name of the Black Emperor.
After a while, after Taibu Guanyou sacrificed the Black Emperor with the three Taidungeon, Xiong Huai stood on the high platform and raised his hand to stop the call of the people.
After a while, the people quieted down.
At this time, Xiong Huai solemnly said to Guan You: "Taibu, divination." โ
"Yui." Guan You nodded in response, and then on the side of the high platform, under the gaze of everyone, the divination ceremony began.
After another while, the divination ceremony was completed, and then the viewer raised the turtle shell and shouted loudly under the nervous and expectant gaze of everyone: "Daji." โ
When Xiong Huai heard this, he immediately shouted with joy: "God bless the Chu country, God bless the widow, Daji." โ
When the ministers heard this, they shouted: "God bless the Chu Kingdom, God bless the king, good luck!" โ
Then, the soldiers on the outside and the people on the outside heard the voice, and they also shouted: "God bless the Chu Kingdom, God bless the king, Daji." โ
For a time, the shouts of the Chu people resounded in the sky, shaking the heavens and the earth.
On the high platform, Xiong Huai looked at the Chinese people who responded enthusiastically, and couldn't help but show a heartfelt smile on his face.
