Chapter 332 Nine cauldrons in the temple, five kingdoms come to court

After experiencing an extremely long night for many people, the next day, the alliance started on time.

Needless to say, the place where the alliance is launched this time is naturally the platform that Zhao Dan built among the six camps.

At noon, the six missions began to enter the venue from different directions.

The wind and snow all over the sky turned the world into a white world, so the Qin delegation led by King Ji of Qin, whose colors were mainly black, seemed very conspicuous at this time.

When he walked through the 114 steps to the top of the platform, King Ji of Qin saw the six tall flagpoles at first sight and the six flags flying in the wind on the flagpole.

For some reason, these six flags seemed a little dazzling in the eyes of King Ji of Qin.

King Ji of Qin stared at the Zhao flag that was side by side with Qin in the center of the six flags, then waved his sleeves, walked around the flagpole, and walked into the hall at the peak of the high platform that had been built.

The hall obviously looked like it was built in a hurry, and it looked like there were signs of rushing to work everywhere.

As soon as King Ji of Qin walked into the hall, he was fixed.

This hall is different from other halls, because most of the other halls in the world are rectangular, while this hall is square.

However, the reason why King Ji of Qin was stunned was not because of this hall that looked a bit unruly, but because of the nine large tripods placed in the center of the hall.

These nine large tripods are square four-legged tripods. Each of them has an adult as tall as an adult, and the style is very simple. It obviously does not look like the style of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

A look of shock appeared on Qin Wang Ji's face. He strode to the nine tripods, looked carefully, and finally stopped in one of the tripods.

This large tripod is not the gold color commonly found in bronze tripods, but presents a faint blue color, which is also the so-called "female gold image".

There are countless exquisite and complex patterns engraved on this tripod. If you observe carefully, you can find that the carved on this tripod is actually pictures. There are famous mountains and rivers, rivers, rare beasts, and humans waving weapons to fight against the world and nature.

Although these pictures have become very simple and abstract after thousands of years, King Ji of Qin stood there and stared at the big tripod, and the expression on his face was fascinated, as if he had been completely immersed in the world depicted by the big tripod.

Finally, a huge ancient text appeared in front of King Ji of Qin.

Although this ancient character is completely different from any character on the land of China today, King Ji of Qin still recognized this character at a glance.

"Yong".

Yong in Yongzhou.

In ancient times, Emperor Yu controlled the flood and the world returned to his heart. Emperor Yu divided the world into nine provinces, collected the gold (bronze) of the Nine Patriarchs and cast the nine tripods.

Volume 2 of "Shiyi Ji" says: "Yu casts nine tripods, five uses the method of responding to the yang, and four uses the number of yin. The craftsman uses female gold as the yin tripod and male gold as the yang tripod."

Yang method is a golden gold, and it looks like it is golden.

The five Yang tripods are Yangzhou tripods, Liangzhou tripods, Qingzhou tripods, Jizhou tripods and Yuzhou tripods.

The number of Yin is female gold, and it looks like blue gold.

The four tripods of Yin are Jingzhou tripods, Xuzhou tripods, Yanzhou tripods and Yongzhou tripods.

This is the Nine Tripods of Emperor Yu, known as the "Supreme Artifact of China".

Emperor Yu had a son named Qi, who was the founding monarch of the Xia Dynasty.

When Jie of Xia was tyrannical, Shang Tang expelled him; when Zhou of Shang was unrighteous, King Wu attacked him.

Since King Wu, the Nine Tripods have become a symbol of the Zhou emperor. When King Cheng, the son of King Wu, was reigned, ordered Duke Zhou to build Luoyi, and the Nine Tripods of Emperor Dingyu were in Luoyi, Yuzhou, which is called "Dingding Ding Zhongyuan".

After King Ping moved eastward, the authority of the Zhou emperor declined day by day, and countless princes rose up. Many of them had the idea of ​​these nine tripods. The most famous one was the allusion of "avengers to the Central Plains" by King Zhuang of Chu, the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period.

But no matter what, the Nine Cauldrons have been staying well in Luoyi Chengzhou for eight hundred years, until today they appear in the hall of the alliance.

King Ji of Qin looked at the Yongzhou tripod in front of him, and his expression on his face changed, sometimes joyful and sometimes sad.

"Yu Gong": "The Hei River in the West is Yongzhou."

The land of Yongzhou includes Guanzhong, the current base camp of Qin!

The entire Yongzhou area is now in the hands of Qin.

From this, we can know how eager the Qin people were for this Yongzhou tripod.

In fact, after King Ji of Qin, Zhao Dang, the elder brother of King Wu of Qin, raised the Yongzhou tripod with extraordinary courage, he was seriously injured by the Yongzhou tripod and eventually died.

King Ji of Qin slowly stretched out his trembling hand and gently stroked the Yongzhou tripod in front of him, and was in a daze for a moment.

In this world, only those who are virtuous are there.

Isn’t the Nine Cauldrons of Emperor Yu symbolizing the world?

When King Ji of Qin suddenly woke up, he found that there were many more people in the hall at some point, and four other kings each stood in front of a large tripod like him, looking intoxicated.

It was at this moment that a voice that King Ji of Qin would definitely not want to hear came into the ears of everyone in the hall.

"Dear kings, I guess I have watched these Nine Cauldrons almost enough, so why not get to the topic today!"

Everyone standing in the hall looked at it and saw Zhao Dan, who was already sitting on the throne and smiling at everyone.

After waking up, the other kings looked at Zhao Dan, their expressions on their faces seemed a little complicated, and they also had their own thoughts in their hearts.

Although I have heard that Luoyi was looted by the people of Zhao, these monarchs still did not expect that Zhao Dan would move the Nine Cauldrons out of Chengzhou City and place them in this hall!

There is no doubt that this action can be called a bold and reckless act.

Very bold and reckless.

Since King Hui of Wei and King Wei of Qi, the princes of Xuzhou, the Warring States Period have completely thrown away the last trace of respect for the Zhou emperor nominally, and each claimed to be kings and raised themselves to the same level as the Zhou emperor.

However, no one dared to do this by directly moving the nine tripods of the Zhou Dynasty's state-controlled state from Luoyi like Zhao Dan.

The Nine Dings still have considerable symbolic significance and deterrence in today's era when believing in the theory of ghosts and gods.

It is precisely because of this that the princes dare not act rashly, for fear that they will bring punishment from God because of the Nine Cauldrons.

Only people like Zhao Dan who have traveled through time from later generations will not care about these ghosts and gods.

Only those who are virtuous are in the world!

After all, these nine tripods are just nine totem-like mascots with symbolic meaning. If you grab them, you will snatch them!

Anyway, if you don’t rob, King Ji of Qin will have to rob it at that time.

Instead of letting these nine tripods be placed in Xianyang Palace, it is better to place them in Longtai.

It is obvious that the appearance of the Nine Tripods shocked the other five kings, which could be seen from the shocking expressions on the faces of the five kings that did not fade for a long time.

In addition to shock, other monarchs actually had other emotions in their minds.

"How great would it be if I could move these Nine Cauldrons out of the middle of Chengzhou?"

The thoughts of regret fill the minds of every king, and the regret in Qin King Ji's heart is the most intense.

But no matter how much they regret it, it is an irrefutable fact that these Nine Cauldrons fell into Zhao Dan's hands.

With this regret, the five kings began to carry out the first process of the alliance meeting today.

Farewell to see.

Who are you looking for?

Of course, I was the convener of this alliance, Zhao Dan, the contemporary king of Zhao from Handan!

This courtesy of court, based on the provisions of the Zhou rituals, is actually the ritual performed by the princes to the Zhou emperor.

Today, Zhao Dan was worshipped by other princes as a prince, which can be said to be very beyond the rules.

However, no matter whether the courtier is a courtier or the courtier is treated, there is no discomfort with this rule.

After all, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius had already violently criticized this behavior of "destruction of rituals and music", and the things that exceeded the rules had been done by the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period for countless times.

However, this court did not recognize Zhao's sovereignty or ruling power over several other countries, but only recognized Zhao Dan, the initiator of the alliance, or the head of the alliance.

Therefore, this time the courtship was not as complicated as the Zhou rituals stipulated. It was just that various countries sent people to hand Zhao Dan a list of gifts, and then the monarchs of various countries saluted Zhao Dan, and the ministers of various countries worshiped Zhao Dan. Then the ceremony of courtship ended.

But even so, when Zhao Dan looked at the resentful King Ji of Qin, who could only perform this courtesy towards him with helplessness and dissatisfaction, the satisfaction in his heart still reached its peak in an uncontrollable moment.

The scene of these five countries coming to the court is so spectacular!

At the meeting in Mianchi, my father, King Zhao Huiwen, wanted to pay tribute to Ru Qin King Ji. Although Zhao was nominally a powerful country, he was still very frustrated!

And this aggrievance finally made me get back with my capital and profit today!

A smile appeared on Zhao Dan's mouth, and the smile gradually spread on his face, extremely bright.

After the ceremony, the princes took their seats.

Since the hall this time is square, the seat layout is not divided into upper and lower heads and left heads like the ordinary hall. Instead, it will directly allow all the envoys of the six kingdoms to sit around the Nine Cauldrons of Emperor Yu.

Among them, Zhao State naturally sat directly north.

Qin State is located in the northwest next to Zhao State.

After everyone finished their seats, the Luoyi meeting officially began.

As the leader of the covenant this time, of course, the only one who spoke first was Zhao Dan.
Chapter completed!
