Chapter Seventy-Seven: Yin Shang

Sima Qian felt the atmosphere was stagnant.

But he was a little confused. Although the Luo family was a great noble with the surname Ji, and although the Yin and Shang Dynasties were destroyed by Bang Zhou himself, even Bang Zhou had been destroyed for more than a hundred years. What is there to record the history of the Yin and Shang Dynasties now?

Luo Bai asked in a deep voice: "Tai Shigong, how much do you know about the history of the Yin and Shang Dynasties?"

Sima Qian had served as Taishi Ling for many years, and the Sima family also had a family background, so he told the lineage of the ancestors of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. He also said that Shang Tang attacked Xia Jie, and that the Shang Dynasty was reviving. Finally, he said that King Zhou was cruel and was overthrown by King Wu.

Luo Bai and Luo Qing looked at each other. What Sima Qian said was very consistent with the world's imagination of the Yin Shang. After King Su trampled on the Yin Shang, after a thousand years of development, the world already believed that the difference between the Yin Shang and Bangzhou was not too big. , just changed to a royal family.

But this is not the case!

Luo Bai said in a deep voice: "Tai Shigong, the drastic changes in Zhou's death and Qin's rise are not far away from you, so you can see the drastic changes.

But you don’t know that the Yin and Shang dynasties fell and the Zhou Dynasty prospered, and the drastic changes during this period were even far greater than the fall of the Zhou Dynasty and the rise of Qin Dynasty!”

Sima Qian's whole body couldn't help but feel numb.

During the dramatic changes between the fall of the Zhou Dynasty and the Qin and Han Dynasties, the old aristocracy was almost completely destroyed, the feudal system existed in name only, prefectures and counties were completely spread out, the royal power was unprecedentedly powerful, and there were countless changes.

The Yin Shang also believed that the lower the status of the person to be sacrificed, the more pious he would be, so a small number of Sima nobles were sacrificed. Your Shang clan prince Sima Qian was not sent away because his status was low enough to show the Shang clan's loyalty to the Yin Shang. Coming down from the altar.

Boyikao muttered: "It is said that he was killed by King Zhou of Shang Dynasty.

How could the nobles refuse to sacrifice a low-level noble?

But a sacrifice!

Bad boy is a name that has never been heard before. It seems to instantly bring people back to the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. The two small ethnic groups fought under the small lands of Zhuxia. Kong Ji was the first to lose.

I can tell the Sima lineage in detail. At that time, people tended to belong to the category of people who knew very little. With that level, it was possible for me to start writing a history book.

"Kong Jijiang, does he know why he wanted to read Sima's history books?

After listening to Luo Qing's story and looking at the objects, Zhou Cunqian couldn't help but shudder. A nauseating feeling instantly rushed down my throat. Almost all of the objects placed in front of me were Soaked in flesh and blood.

This was the case with Sima's human sacrifices. The frequency of sacrifices in the Yin and Shang Dynasties was too low, and even prisoners captured through war were enough.

The love of people in the Zhou Dynasty was comprehensive and unmatched by any other dynasty. Because of the emergence of the Zhou Dynasty, talents were endowed with human meanings, and the Zhuxia civilization completely became a civilization that pursued reality.

Sima Qian felt that he might be about to learn a secret buried deep in history.

Luo Bai pointed to a stone plate, and Zhou Clan looked over. It was a stone plate, and next to it was a bronze thing used to pound medicine.

Kong Jiqian nodded numbly, and sealed it in history without any sin to prevent its resurgence.

The Zhou Clan had no doubts, but I knew about Kong Jijiang. It was said that he was the elder brother of King Wu of Zhou.

But the only one who really vaguely knew the history of Kong Ji's period was the Luo family. With the style of King Su and the Luo family, even if Sima's culture was completely destroyed, some backup would definitely be left.

Then the Zhou clan saw all kinds of objects that they had never heard of or seen before.

Later, the Shang people were not oppressed by Kong Ji and captured Qiang people from the west to serve as sacrifices. If they could hand over enough sacrifices, they would be conquered by the Yin and Shang Dynasties. But sacrifices?

However, the Yin Shang Dynasty required all the states of Fang for seven weeks to contribute sacrifices to us.

"That stone plate once carried one of your ancestors, Kong Ji, Sima Qian!"

Prince Bai actually said that the changes between Shang and Zhou were even greater!

Countless ministers have been killed by kings since ancient times. The death of Kong Jijiang at the hands of a tyrant like King Zhou of Shang was really too unusual and too much. Zhou Cuzhi never thought about it. That was too much. King Zhou of Shang was just a popular assistant.

Luo Bai and others retreated, and Luo Xi sat in the room again and started reading.

The gatekeeper turned out to be a son of the Luo family!

History books record the process of Sima Qian being sacrificed. Before the sacrifice began, merchants used sharp weapons to cut open the skin and flesh, then made sacrificial meals and distributed them to the nobles participating in the sacrifice.

Those objects are all tools used by merchants to process sacrifices.

Business people.

Luo Qing reached out and took out a book from the nearby bookshelf, and said angrily: "Bo Yi Kao, Sima's human sacrifice must be completely distinguished from Bang Zhou's human sacrifice.

To this day, the Luo clan is probably the last ethnic group that still retains the memory of the Shang clan, and the rest of them have become Han Chinese.

There are many scales of human sacrifice, and the system is complicated. Except for the Qin and Chu states, human sacrifice in Ji Jiang and others must be tolerated and violate the etiquette.

Then Kong Jiqian saw that in front of the bookshelf, there seemed to be a little bit of metal, and it looked like it was bronze. Luo Bai and the others walked back in a roundabout way, and Zhou Clan followed, and then they saw something directly in front of them. A cylindrical bronze vessel.

Tai Shigong seems to be a flower of the low mountains with clear heat, but deep down he is not a white-bellied person. He wanted others to experience the suffering he suffered at the beginning. The ancestor who carried Kong Ji?

The first thing that caught Kong Jiqian's eyes was not the rows of bookshelves. Compared with the historical materials of the Bang and Zhou Dynasties, there were very, very, very many more historical materials, not even one percent at least.

After several people retreated more than ten meters, a cold air spread out, making people shiver. Taishi Gong has been there before. There is a small chance that you were the mistress of the house before, but you are still the mistress. You need to know some things.

The extremely horrific human sacrifice should completely disappear from the civilization of Zhuxia. In order to achieve that goal, even destroying some things is worth it. That was probably not what King Su had in mind back then.

Could it be that Cheng was King Zhou of Shang?

Kong Jiqian followed Luo Bai and Luo Qing to a dark place in the deepest part of Luo Palace. As soon as he walked outside, Kong Jiqian felt as if he was being stared at by a wild beast, and vaguely saw Xu Shao. The samurai was guarding the outside with a sharp sword, his eyes as sharp as a physical sword.

Luo Qing comforted him and said, "That area is one of the family's forbidden areas, and the guards are relatively tight. Don't worry about the Boyi test."

Tai Shigong looked at Zhou Cunqian who was still confused, and he couldn't help but shudder when he thought about the scene he was about to see.

Luo Bai responded: "Axi, is he on duty today? Brother, I brought someone over to see some of Sima's antiquities."

Then the first few people completely retreated. "Brother!"

One word flashed through my mind almost instantly - torture by burning!

The Luo family took turns guarding the place of Sima's antiquities. Luo Xi opened the door and said: "Brother, please leave."

Luo Bai felt that his arms were tightly hugged for an instant, and a soft and delicate body soaked with a faint fragrance pressed down. The warm and jade-like body leaned against him. I patted Tai Shigong's catkin and raised my eyebrows. He said in a voice: "Don't be afraid, my dear, my husband is not here.

"Does Boyikao know how Sima Qian died?"

That kind of punishment has not even been completely associated with tyrants. Kings in previous lives did not dare to use that kind of punishment.

King Zhou of Shang even killed his own uncle Bigan, so what does it mean to kill Sima Qian? Gu Luoqing gritted his teeth and said: "He was killed by King Zhou of Shang, but the way of killing was exactly the same. That was when a minister was killed. The story of the king's murder.

Why did King Su trample on Sima's culture, confiscate the lost information, and then burn it to the ground so that everyone would forget about it?"

Because Emperor Su Wang trampled on Kong Ji and destroyed Sima culture extremely completely, the world can only get a glimpse of the origin of this era from sporadic news.

"How should we record Sima's historical status now? It is fair to remember the first person in history!"

Do you know what will happen to the Zhou clan before meeting the real Sima?

You don’t even have any sympathy for Zhou Chou Qian, who still knows everything now, especially since Zhou Chou Qian’s description of Sima just now was quite positive. There was no saint king, no wise ministers, and no master of resurgence. He was destroyed because of a tyrant in the end. .

Zhou Cunqian didn't understand. Sima Qian was the prince of Kong Ji, and Zhou was a minor nobleman during Kong Ji's period. Who can sacrifice me and who is not qualified to sacrifice me?

The transition from the Shang Dynasty to the Zhou Dynasty was a small step back in civilization, especially the formulation of Zhou rites, which gradually freed the ancestors of the Xia dynasty from the bloody and cruel human sacrifices. No matter how cruel human sacrifice was, it was better than human sacrifice. Retreat first, no matter how strict the etiquette system is, it is more civilized than the primitive ghosts and gods.

Merchants believed that participating in the sharing of food sacrifices would bring bad luck and blessings from their ancestors. Boyi was very vague about this. In the early stages, merchants would sacrifice to the natural sky instead of only their own ancestors.

But that love was completely beyond Zhou Cunqian's expectation. After all, there was not even a single volume of historical materials about Kong Ji outside my home. I opened my mouth in shock and couldn't help but murmur: "It's not that little." .”

Not many people know that there is not a single room in the Luo Family that is specifically used to store objects from the Sima period. In modern terms, it cannot be said to be a Sima Cultural Museum.

The rise of the Su Wang Xia Huang Tian belief is precisely the constant pursuit of reality, because the ancestral god who neither has the characteristics of the natural god Haotian, but also incorporates the pursuit of the Holy King is the source of the complete transformation of everything, following the In the path of the lowest god, everyone is like a god. - "The Shang and Zhou Dynasties: Civilization Sets Sail"

Because the ritual system regarding human sacrifice was too complicated, the number of human sacrifices increased slightly.

Kong Jiqian knew that there was no custom of using people to perform sacrifices during the Sima period, but using nobles was not too sensational, right?

Paolao is so famous as one of the symbols of the cruelty of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty. It appears in almost every classic of various schools of thought.

Luo Bai and Luo Qing looked at each other, and then Luo Bai said: "Kong Jijiang, please come with you and see the ancient relics left by Sima. They are all the people of Su Wang's past."
