Hearing Liu Xing's question, Zong Ze first smiled bitterly.

After pacing around the big tripod for a few steps, Zong Ze pointed to the two big tripods and told the origin of the two tripods.

It turned out to be three years in Chongning, that is, twenty-four years ago. Song Huizong Zhao Ji wanted to do something to whitewash the peace, but was confused by Cai Jing.

Cai Jing often said in front of him: There are 50 million coins in stock now, the country is full of peace and can expand music, and the country is rich enough to complete etiquette

Cai Jing was a resolute supporter and right-hand man of Wang Anshi's reform of the law, and when Sima Guang was the prime minister, he completely restored the old law and eliminated all the new people and new laws, and Cai Jing became the main target of the attack.

Later, after Song Zhezong's pro-government, there were people who reused the law changer, and appointed Zhang Dian as the minister, and then Cai Jing, who was the minister of the law change, returned to the capital to serve as the head of the household department.

Cai Jing took the initiative to actively cooperate with Zhang Dian to help Zhang Dian solve the problems in the reform, and he really made a lot of contributions to the Great Song Dynasty at that time.

Next, after Zhao Ji of Song Huizong ascended the throne, Cai Jing, who had made great contributions, was reused by Song Huizong and promoted him to be the prime minister, in order to continue to implement the new law.

In the third year of Chongning, Cai Jing promoted his disciple Liu Hao to the rank of chief musician and put him in charge of the music affairs of the imperial court.

After that, Liu Yu brought Wei Hanjin, a priest from Chengdu Mansion, to see Zhao Ji and offer his opinions on music, saying that he wanted to ask the emperor to adopt the method of three designated sounds. First cast nine tripods, then cast the emperor sitting on the big bell, then cast the four rhymes of the clear sound bell and cast the twenty-four air clock, and then reconcile the strings, calibrate the music pipe, and make the music of a generation of wind.

There is so much money in the treasury, and Song Huizong is also trying to do something to whitewash the peace. Liu Hao's suggestion was in the heart of the faint king. Even without thinking, I agreed.

Wei Hanjin turned out to be a soldier who had been laid off. Li Liang, an immortal who claimed to have studied under the Tang Dynasty, learned the method of refining Ding music.

In the past, he and Fang Shu were summoned to the capital together, but at that time, the rhythm of the Tired Millet Law had already been formulated, and he could not go back to show what he had learned.

Some people say that Wei Hanjin once worked as a servant in Fan Zhen's house, learned the method of making Ding in Fan Zhen, and took the opportunity to plunder it.

Cai Jing deliberately mythologized his remarks, pretending that they were taught by Li Liang, etc. However, Wei Hanjin is proficient in yin-yang mathematics. is often astonishingly accurate, he once said to people who know each other: In less than 30 years, the world will be in chaos......

Song Huizong was a person who believed in Taoism and proclaimed himself the head of the Taoist Emperor.

At the beginning of his accession to the throne, he spent several years playing with his life on the harem concubines, but he didn't get a few princes.

There is a Taoist priest named Liu Mingkang who took the opportunity to say that the northeast corner of the capital is on the throne of the gossip, and if it can be raised, there will be many men; If the rockery garden is built, the country will be prosperous.

Coincidentally, since the place was heightened, Zhao Ji really won one after another. A Taoist priest named Wang Zixi was favored by Zhao Ji. Known as Mr. Xiao Wang.

It is said that Wang Tsai did not see Song Huizong's concubine. Just doing it in the palace cured the concubine's eye disease.

There is also a Taoist priest Lin Lingsu, that is, the guy who was sent by Wang Wenqing from Shenxiao. That guy Su Dongpo once showed him a photo, saying that he would definitely be rich and wealthy in the future.

Lin Lingsu met Zhao Ji, and as soon as they met, he said: It's so strange, I saw Your Majesty when I was serving the Jade Emperor in the sky.

Song Huizong immediately said: Yes, I also look familiar with you! I remember when you rode a green ox, where did your cow go?

The ancestor of Taoism is Lao Tzu, and legend has it that Lao Tzu rode a green ox across the Han Valley, so people call the Taoist priest Niubi Taoist priest.

Lin Lingsu replied: Sending herds to foreign countries, and they will come soon. It didn't take long for the Goryeo Kingdom to pay tribute to Qingniu, and the Manchu Dynasty was amazed by its civil and military affairs, thinking that this Lin Lingsu was really an immortal in the sky.

It was on the twenty-ninth day of the first lunar month of the year when these Taoist scum gathered around Song Huizong that the faint monarch issued an order to cast nine tripods.

On the twenty-first day of the third lunar month of the second year, Cai Jing said that Jiuding had been cast. Zhao Ji of the faint monarch issued an edict: in the south of the first palace of the Tai Dynasty to build nine palaces to place nine tripods, each hall is surrounded by the city wall, and then build a low wall on the city wall, paint the soil that represents the five directions of color, and build a city wall outside to surround the nine halls, named Jiucheng Palace.

The center of the tripod is called the emperor tripod, painted with yellow color, in the day of the earth king, the sacrifice is all yellow, and the musical instrument is used in the palace frame. The one in the north is called Baoding, painted in black color, and sacrificed at the winter solstice, and the sacrifice is black.

The one in the northeast is called Muding, painted with blue color, sacrificed at the beginning of spring, and the sacrifice is black. The one in the east is called Cangding, painted with blue color, and sacrificed at the spring equinox, and the sacrifice is made of blue.

The southeast is called Fengding, painted with green color, and sacrificed at the beginning of summer, and the offerings are pink. The southern one is called Tongding, painted with purple color, and sacrificed at the summer solstice, and the sacrifice is pink.

The southwest is called Fuding, painted with black color, sacrificed at the beginning of autumn, and the sacrifice is made with white color. The one on the west side is called the Ding, painted in red color, and sacrificed at the autumn equinox, and the sacrifice is made in white color.

The northwest is called Kuiding, painted with white color, and sacrificed at the beginning of winter, and the sacrifice is black. The surrounding 8 tripods are used for medium-scale sacrifices, and the sacrificial offerings are vegetarian.

The music and dance played during the sacrifice, the emperor used the "Song of Jia'an", and the rest of the eight tripods played the "Song of Ming'an".

The inscription on the Emperor Ding was written by Zhao Ji himself, and the inscriptions on the rest of the Eight Dings were written by Cai Jing.

That is, on the twentieth day of the eighth lunar month of that year, Zhao Ji relocated Jiuding to Jiucheng Palace.

As soon as Dading was settled, Zhao Ji was busy going to Jiucheng Palace the next day to perform the gift of worship. When he walked to the Baoding to the north, the Dading suddenly broke, and the water flowed outside, and the faint king stayed there at that time.

Cai Jing immediately knelt down and said: Your Majesty, the cracking of the Ding in the north means that there will be civil strife in the Liao State, and we can take the opportunity to destroy them, and the Great Song Dynasty will unify the world.

is obviously a very inauspicious thing, but Cai Jing said that it is not our Great Song Dynasty that wants to be chaotic, but the Liao State that is going to be chaotic. Zhao Ji was happy when he heard Cai Jing say this, and felt that he couldn't find someone who could talk so well.

On the first day of the ninth lunar month of that year, Zhao Ji went to Daqing Hall to accept the courtiers' congratulations because of the nine tripods. And officially started using the new songs.

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty also ordered that the title of Marquis of Jiacheng be given to Wei Hanjin; In the place where the great tripod was cast, the Baocheng Palace was built, and the main hall was specially set up to worship the Yellow Emperor, Xia Yu, King Zhou Cheng, Zhou Gongdan, and Zhaogong, and set up a shrine to worship Li Liang and Wei Hanjin of the Tang Dynasty. Wei Hanjin died in the capital soon after at the age of ninety.

However, although Wei Hanjin is one of the scum of Taoism, he really has some ability, and his prediction of chaos in the world after thirty years is really quickly fulfilled......

After telling this, Zong Ze pointed to one of the big tripods, and said to Liu Xingzhengse: "Taifu, please come forward and see, Yuwang Jiuding is an ancient artifact, and this tripod is the handwriting of Cai Jing's dog thief." This mouth tripod is by no means Yuwang Jiuding, it should be the Cangding of the East in Chongning Jiuding. (To be continued.) )
