Chapter 1076 The destiny black bird descends to give birth to Shang

What kind of branch is it that will become a secret existence within the entire Yin and Shang royal family?

My curiosity was completely aroused.

Seeing this, Qingzhu asked with a smile: "The destiny black bird descends to give birth to business. Do you know the meaning and origin of this sentence?"

"Isn't this just a sentence from the Book of Songs?"

I frowned and said, "This sentence is about the ancestor of the Yin Shang Dynasty - Qi.

At that time, Emperor Gu of the Gaoxin family among the Three Emperors and Five Emperors married two daughters of the You'u family, Jian Di and Jianzhen. One day, the two were playing in the water outside Bozhou when they suddenly encountered a black bird egg. Jian Di swallowed it by mistake. This black bird egg became pregnant soon after and gave birth to a child... Qi, who we often call Uncle Yan.

Later, Emperor Ku moved Uncle Yan to Shangqiu because he was at odds with his brothers, and his branch later became the royal family of the Yin and Shang Dynasties."

Qingzhu nodded and said: "The so-called destiny black bird descended and gave birth to Shang, that's the story. But you just mentioned that there is the Nu family who has two daughters, Jian Di and Jian Chan, both of whom are emperor's concubines. The protagonist of the story is Jian Di, who was famous throughout the ages because she swallowed a black bird egg and gave birth to a child. However, there is another person who has been gradually forgotten - Jian Zhen.

According to some ancient books and manuscripts left by Tianmeng, Emperor Ku and Jianzhen also had children!

The inscriptions on the three square tripods unearthed from the tomb of King Xin of the Shang Dynasty clearly stated that the founder of the Yan Kingdom was the heir of Emperor Ku and Jianzhen!!

At that time, Jian Di and Jian Zhen met the egg of the black bird by the river. Later, Jian Di swallowed the egg of the black bird by mistake and gave birth to Yan Bo. Yan Bo's descendants established the Yin and Shang dynasties, and Jian Zhen's lineage naturally had some influence. Unwilling to accept the idea, they have always firmly believed that the egg of the black bird originally belonged to their ancestor Jianzhen, and was mistakenly taken away by Jian Di. After Cheng Tang won the country, he once made trouble, but it was just a large-scale incident. Chengtang quickly suppressed the small chaos. However, Chengtang was kind and thought that because of their blood relationship, he did not kill them all. Instead, he said to the descendants of Jianzhen's lineage——

The mysterious bird of destiny descended and gave birth to Shang.

This black bird is the totem of my great merchant.

The mothers of our ancestors are sisters, and we both saw the black bird's egg. It is expected that your lineage should also have some fate with the black bird. I will not kill you today, but will spare your lives to serve your crime, so go and find the black bird for me. , to bless Dashang!

We have no way of knowing what King Chengtang of Shang was thinking at the time. Maybe he really wanted to find Xuanniao, or maybe he simply thought that he had just overthrown the rule of Xia. Not long after the founding of the country, there was no peace both internally and externally, so he rashly transferred Jianzhen's lineage It is not a good idea to kill them all. After all, they are the descendants of Emperor Ku, one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. I rashly speculated that Cheng Tang might simply think that killing these people was too troublesome and would affect his reputation, so he simply Drive these people away, give them an illusory goal, and let them go to work in the mountains and forests. This is almost like exile. You will be dead when you die...

However, the descendants of Jianzhong were influenced by the kindness of Shang King Chengtang. They actually took it as their mission to find the black bird and embarked on a journey to find the black bird. During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, there were many dangers hidden in the mountains and forests.

, I don’t know how many people in this group died during the search. Even after Cheng Tang died, they did not break their oath.

Later, with the passage of time, after Cheng Tang's death, the two blood-related ethnic groups began to slowly reconcile. In other words, the Jianzhen tribe impressed the Yin and Shang royal families with their sincerity and stubbornness, and with the accompanying

Guozuo, the leader of the Shang Dynasty, gradually reached its peak. Whether within the royal family or among the people of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the worship of black birds was deepening day by day. What might have been Cheng Tang's whim arrangement gradually became the royal family's.

Demand, every generation of Shang kings hopes that the Jianzhen branch can really find the black bird and protect the country...

By the time of King He Danjia of Shang Dynasty, which was the generation of Shang King Zu Xin’s grandfather, news finally came from the Jianzhen branch. They said that someone had seen traces of black birds in Yanshan Mountain!

He Danjia was so happy that he even built a feudal kingdom for him, which was the Yan Kingdom. The country was located in Yanshan Mountain. However, rather than saying that it was Fang Kingdom, it was better to say that He Danjia built it for Xuanniao.

The place of sacrifice is probably similar to the place of food, and the Jianzhen lineage is the slaves who serve Xuanniao, hoping to impress Xuanniao and get Xuanniao's favor!

But...Xuanniao never appeared. It seemed that the other party was just passing through Yanshan, or...Jianzhen's group didn't want to continue looking for Xuanniao anymore, so they deceived the Yin and Shang royal family.

The royal family of the Yin and Shang Dynasties were not fools, especially the three generations of He Danjia, who were all wise kings. How could they be so easy to deceive? After the death of Shang King He Danjia, his son Zu Yi, also known as Zu Ding, succeeded him.

His father, Zu Yi, was the leader of the ZTE. He had doubts about Jianzhen's lineage and felt that the so-called black bird was just an excuse. He tried to annihilate Yan State several times. However, at that time, the Shang Dynasty had just put down the war in ZTE, so he could only

After restraining this thought, Zu Yi himself did not live long. He only reigned for nineteen years and died before he had time to deal with the problems of the Yan Kingdom.

Soon, it was the turn of Shang King Zu Xin to succeed to the throne. As a result, just as Zu Xin secured his throne, a huge disaster occurred in Yanshan. First, fire burned the mountain, and then there were flash floods. Soon, Yanshan became a

Zeguo and Yanguo were destroyed in one night. There was no one left alive in the huge Fangguo!

The mysterious destruction of the Yan Kingdom made Zu Xin uneasy. He felt that his father had misunderstood the Jianzhen clan, and that the other party might have really found Xuanniao. The Yan Kingdom had been serving Xuanniao loyally, and it was his father's distrust.

, angered the black bird in Yanshan Mountain, so the black bird destroyed the entire Yan Kingdom.

After consulting many members of the royal family at that time, Zu Xin finally held a sacrifice, cast a square tripod, and engraved the achievements and deeds of the Jianzheng clan. At the same time, he also hoped to appease the anger of Xuanniao, and after his death, he gave a series of sacrificial items to

They were all buried together to show that I feel guilty for this for the rest of my life."

Qingzhu said so much in one breath that I was silent for a long time before gradually laughing at the huge content.

Then, while thinking about it, I said: "So, the contents recorded on the square tripod in the tomb of King Zu Xin of Shang Dynasty are basically the unilateral views of the Yin and Shang royal family after Shang King He Danjia sealed the country for the Jianzhen clan.

Yes, right?

It is unknown whether Jianzhen and his team found the legendary black bird, because they never saw the black bird fall in the Yan Kingdom with their own eyes?

Regarding the appearance of Xuannian in Yanshan, it is also unknown whether it is a lie of Jianzhen's lineage or whether it is the truth!

In the end, it was the demise of the Yan Kingdom and the Jianzhen lineage. They never witnessed it with their own eyes, but they thought it was the black bird that caused the disaster, right? Whether it was the black bird that caused the disaster remains to be verified?!"

Qingzhu nodded.

“Isn’t this nonsense!!”

Lao Bai frowned and said: "If I look at it, it must be a lie from the Jianzhen lineage. How can there be any black birds in this world? There must be something hidden about their destruction and demise. It cannot be the anger of some black birds.

!!”

For the first time, a look of hesitation appeared on Qingzhu's face.

Obviously, even someone as strong as her is not sure whether there is such a thing as a black bird in the world!

After being silent for a long time, Qingzhu's eyes gradually became firm, and he slowly shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, it's possible... there really is a black bird!"
