Hearing this voice, Zu An was not surprised but overjoyed: "Sister Queen, you finally showed up. I thought you... thought you..."
"Think I'm dead?" Mi Li's cold voice came from his mind.
"That's not true," Zu An said with a smile, "I thought you were asleep and didn't care about me at all."
"You and that big-breasted girl have been making love to each other all this way. Why did I come out?" Mi Li snorted, and you can completely imagine her rolling her eyes.
"Big breasted girl?" Zu An subconsciously looked at Pei Mianman's chest and had to say that she did deserve this title.
"What does it mean to be close to each other? I was in danger several times along the way. I almost died, okay? I didn't see you come out to save me." Zu An said with some resentment.
"It was you who was in danger. It was obviously the big-breasted girl who was in danger and you went to save him. You met that mosquito before. You also risked your life to save that person named Zheng and the saint from the Demon Cult several times. Hum,
This big-breasted girl has a saying that describes it well, you are really risking your life to pick up girls. Even if I save you, I can't stop you from trying so hard, so why should I save you? It's better for you to die early to save yourself later.
Even more upset." Mi Li's voice was extremely cold.
Zu An said with a smile: "Sister Queen, although you may scold me fiercely, you still care about me in your heart. Otherwise, you wouldn't know so much about what happened along the way."
"Hmph, don't smile with me here. I'm not as easy to deceive as those little girls." Even though Mi Li said this, her tone was clearly softer. She looked at the mural on the side and said, "
Let’s talk about the murals.”
Unless she wants it, her current image will not be seen by anyone except Zu An. She pointed at
"What you just said is all nonsense. There is obviously a huge black bird spreading its wings in the sky. There is a bird's nest in the tree below, and there is a nest of eggs in it. Then a girl who looks like climbed the tree and stole an egg.
After swallowing it, the girl soon turned into a pregnant woman and gave birth to a child... This is the legend of 'A daughter of the O family named Jian Di, who swallowed the egg of a black bird and gave birth to a bond'."
Zu An looked shocked: "Sister Queen, you are so knowledgeable!"
He only found out about it after watching the documentary, but she actually knew such unpopular knowledge.
"Are you stupid? The Yin Shang Dynasty is not that far away from my era." Mi Li snorted.
Zu An smiled and then remembered that she was from the Qin Dynasty, and there was only the Zhou Dynasty between her and Shang.
Mi Li came to another group of murals nearby. This group of murals obviously depicted war scenes. There were a large number of chariots on both sides, and there were more infantry behind them.
There is a tall and burly man standing on a chariot on one side. You can see his extraordinary momentum in the whole picture at a glance. He is obviously the protagonist of the mural. There is also a colorful figure on the chariot on the other side, who is obviously his opponent. However,
This guy's expression looks more timid and gloomy...
Mi Li looked at the words next to the mural, then pointed to the two men in the mural and said: "This is Cheng Tang, the founder of the Shang Dynasty. This battle is the battle of Mingtiao that destroyed Xia. The man opposite is the last emperor of the Xia Dynasty."
The monarch Xia Jie fled to Nanchao and died after losing the battle. Cheng Tang returned to Bo Yi, gathered the princes, and formally established the Shang Dynasty, with its capital in Bo."
"Hao?" Zu An was surprised, "Shouldn't the capital of the Shang Dynasty be Yin?"
The so-called Yin Shang and Yin Shang are already familiar words to everyone. Of course, those who have read "Feng Shen Bang" will remember that the capital of Shang is Chaoge, but no matter which one it is, it will not be the same.
"It's rare but strange. The Shang kings moved their capitals very frequently in the past dynasties," Mi Li pointed to a set of murals at the back and explained, "The reason why this happened is because of the inheritance mechanism of the Shang Dynasty. In ancient times, there were dangers everywhere, and there were all kinds of alien races that were eyeing them.
Natural disasters and wild beasts make everyone's lifespan short. Many people die in their prime, and King Shang is no exception. It would be impossible to pass on the position of king to young heirs. After all, can he lead his people to live in that era?
Coming down is the key."
"So the Shang Dynasty implemented the succession method of brother to brother from the beginning. After the death of the King of Shang, the younger brother succeeded to the throne, and so on."
"This also brings about a problem. Any branch of the royal family has the right to inherit the throne. When the situation settles down, everyone's life expectancy will generally increase, and the monarch will often have adult children. In this way, the prince will not be willing to give up the throne to his uncle.
The king also wants to pass it on to his son, but other kings will definitely not agree, so a cruel power struggle will occur between the royal families."
"After a new king ascends the throne, in order to eliminate the threats from other kings, he usually chooses to move the capital. In this way, the intertwined forces of the other kings in the original capital will be completely meaningless."
"I understand this!" Zu An thought of such a scene in the Song Dynasty. In the early days, Zhao Kuangyin usurped the power of the Later Zhou Dynasty and established the Northern Song Dynasty. In order to stabilize the Zhao family, he planned to pass the throne to his younger brother Zhao Guangyi, but more than ten years later he was completely secure.
The emperor's position and his young son had reached adulthood, so he had the idea of passing the throne to his son.
But the unspoken rule at that time was that the crown prince would also serve as the governor of Kaifeng, and Zhao Guangyi had been in this position for many years, and through his management over the years, his power in the Kaifeng mansion was also extremely large.
Zhao Kuangyin planned to resolve all this by moving the capital to Luoyang. Unfortunately, the proposal to move the capital met with fierce opposition from both the government and the public, and was blocked by Zhao Guangyi with the words "morality is not dangerous". Zhao Kuangyin saw that his younger brother had grown up, and with his kind heart, he also
This gave up the idea of moving the capital.
Mi Li then pointed to the third group of murals and said: "The Shang Dynasty changed its capital frequently. It was not until this generation of Shang King Pan Geng moved the capital to Yin that it completely stabilized. This mural tells the story of Pan Geng's move to Yin."
Zu An looked at the fourth group of murals: "Hey, there is actually a woman on this mural, she looks quite beautiful."
Mi Li snorted: "You guys are only thinking about whether women are beautiful or not. You are simply arrogant. This is the concubine of Wu Ding, one of the greatest monarchs in the Shang Dynasty. After Pan Geng moved the capital, the Shang Dynasty gradually became stable.
Later, in Wu Ding's generation, the declining country became strong again. In addition to Wu Ding's ability, his queen and wife played a considerable role."
"At that time, the ghosts, earth, Qiang, humans, and tigers around the Shang Dynasty were all very powerful, and they also coveted the land and wealth of the Shang Dynasty..."
Zu An interrupted her and asked: "Fang? What do you mean?"
"Fang is the name the Shang Dynasty gave to surrounding foreign tribes and countries." Mi Li explained, and then looked at Fuhao's portrait, "At that time, the Shang Dynasty was in turmoil. As the queen, Fuhao personally led the troops to fight and defeated the invading troops.
He defeated the foreign tribes one by one, and also took advantage of the situation to destroy several Fang Kingdoms, allowing the Shang Dynasty to completely stabilize. Such a strange woman is really admirable."
Noticing that her eyes were shining with a look of fascination on her face, Zu An remembered that she was also a queen of the generation, and she might have been deeply moved by seeing her good wife making great achievements.
Mi Li came to the next set of murals and suddenly frowned: "Weird!"
"What's wrong?" Zu An asked curiously. The set of murals in front of him was located on the bank of a large river. There were many large boats on the river with lights and colors on them. It looked very festive. There was a team on each side of the river escorting the bride and groom. It seemed that they were
Have a grand wedding.
Mi Li pointed to a few words on one side and said: "The theme of this group of murals is called 'Heavenly Match', but if I remember correctly, 'Heavenly Match' comes from "The Book of Songs, Daya, and Ming Dynasty" and describes Ji, the founding monarch of the Zhou Dynasty.
The story of Chang’s marriage to Taisi.”
"When Ji Chang was still the Marquis of Xibo, he met Tai Si on the shore of the Weishui River. He was amazed by her beauty. Later, he learned that Tai Si was kind, sensible, and lived a frugal life. Ji Chang decided to marry Tai Si. Because there was no bridge on the Weishui River,
Ji Chang decided to build a boat as a beam on the Weishui River, and connected the boats to form a pontoon bridge to welcome his wife in person, which was a grand occasion."
Zu An asked curiously: "What you said is the same as what is described in this painting. What's so strange about it?"
"That's what's strange." Mi Li frowned and said, "Tai Si was a noble daughter of the Shen Kingdom. Although the Shen Kingdom was considered a part of the Yin and Shang Dynasties at that time, she was definitely not a real princess of the Shang royal family. But this mural
The text on the side records that at that time, Emperor Yi of the Shang Dynasty married his beautiful sister to Ji Chang, and this was a match made in heaven. But how is this possible? It conflicts with the "Book of Songs" and even the historical records of the past dynasties."
"Emperor Yi?" Zu An felt dizzy after hearing this. The names of these Shang kings were A, B, C and D, which sounded really confusing.
Mi Li replied: "He is the penultimate king of the Shang Dynasty, and the father of the well-known King Zhou."
"King Zhou." Zu An's eyes lit up, "I know this. It is basically known to everyone that he favored the vixen Daji and acted against the evil spirit that led to the demise of the Shang Dynasty. They don't know how beautiful Daji is to charm him.
so."
Whether it was in textbooks or in "The List of Gods", King Zhou of Shang and Daji were not positive images, but he didn't care about that. What he was more curious about was what the most famous vixen in Chinese history looked like.
"She is indeed a pervert!" Mi Li spat. When he interrupted her, she stopped worrying about the "Made in Heaven" mural and pointed to the remaining group and said, "The Daji you want to see is right here.
."
Zu An hurriedly ran over curiously and found a woman with graceful lines on the mural. Unfortunately, it was difficult to see her specific appearance in such a mural. He could only judge from the lines that she was indeed a stunning beauty: "Wow, her waist is so thin.
!The breasts are so big, almost as big as Damanman..."
Mi Li rolled her eyes, obviously used to his appearance as Brother Zhu, and continued to look at the murals and explained: "This set of murals talks about the demise of the Shang Dynasty. What is depicted here is the Battle of Muye, where the Shang Dynasty army faced the battle.
They defected and were completely defeated... In despair, King Zhou burned himself to death with Daji on the Lutai. The Zhou Dynasty was established and Wu Geng, the prince of King Zhou, was granted a title in Yin to worship him."
"Huh?" Zu An was a little curious, "The Shang Dynasty was destroyed by the Zhou Dynasty. How could you allow the prince of King Zhou to continue to stay in his capital under the banner of the Yin Shang Dynasty?"
"In ancient times, there has always been an unspoken rule called 'A country that destroys people will not stop its sacrifices', but it just sounds nice," Mi Li sneered, "In the final analysis, it is because the remaining forces of the other party are strong enough to destroy the country."
We have to make some compromises. In history, people destroyed many small countries. Why haven't they heard of retaining their sacrifices? Our Qin State is not so hypocritical. If you want to destroy the country, just destroy the country. If you say to kill his whole family, kill his whole family.
."
Zu An: "..."
Seeing Mi Li's eyes shining with a war-crazed look, Zu An couldn't help but swallowed. This woman was too tough.
Mi Li continued: "After all, the Shang Dynasty has been in existence for hundreds of years. Even if King Zhou dies, the remaining power is still very strong. The Zhou people left Wu Geng in Yin to continue to be the King of Shang. Don't look at the Battle of Muye where the Zhou people defeated King Zhou.
Easy, but four years later, Wu Geng raised his troops to rebel in Yin, and this time it took the Zhou people more than three years to completely defeat him."
"Even if Wu Geng's lineage is extinct, the merchants still have two powerful forces. King Zhou's uncle Jizi was unwilling to surrender to Zhou, so he led some Yin people to move north and established the state of Korea, which was known as Ji's Korea in history; Zhou
Wang's brother Wei Ziqize led the deployment to establish the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty is quite famous in history, you should know. During the Spring and Autumn Period, many jokes were about Song people, such as waiting for rabbits, sophons suspicious of neighbors, and Song people basking in the sun.
It felt very comfortable and was presented as a secret recipe to the king. The people of Song Dynasty were smart enough to collect a lot of hats and sell them to the country of Vietnam without wearing hats. As a result, they suffered heavy losses... The protagonists of this series of stories are all stupid people of Song Dynasty."
Mi Li's lips showed a hint of sarcasm: "In the final analysis, it's because the Song Dynasty was an immigrant from the Yin Shang Dynasty, and the other countries in the Spring and Autumn Period are descendants of the Zhou people, so they are all slandered."
Zu An was stunned when he heard that there was such a saucy trick. Many of those jokes were turned into idioms. Thousands of years later, everyone would remember the stupidity of the Song people. This move was really heart-wrenching.
"Azu, Azu?" At this time, Pei Mianman's voice came from the side, and she kept pulling on Zu An's sleeves.
Zu An came to his senses and asked her hurriedly: "What's wrong?"
Pei Mianman looked worried: "You have been a little weird from the beginning. You just looked at the murals and kept mumbling to yourself. I thought you were possessed by evil spirits. Are you okay?"
Only then did Zu An realize that he had neglected her while chatting with Mi Li, and she could not see Mi Li's presence. He hurriedly explained: "It's okay, I was just reading what these murals were about, and I was fascinated by them for a while."
Pei Mianman asked curiously: "Can you understand what it says?"
"Of course!" Zu An told her roughly what he had just heard. Of course, he explained some necessary historical knowledge in a way that the other party could understand.
Pei Mianman was so beautiful that he took his arm and said, "Azu, you are so knowledgeable that you even know these ancient texts. I have decided that even if Chuyan disagrees after I go out, I will
I’m going to snatch you away too!”
Zu An: "..."
The wonderful touch on his arm made him fascinated for a moment, and he had an expression of enjoyment on his face.
"Humph!" At this moment, a cold snort came from my ears.
The anger value from Mi Li is +998!
This guy actually used what I taught him to pretend to pick up girls. It really pissed me off!
Seeing the big-breasted girl clinging to Zu An so closely, and Zu An even looking like he was enjoying it, Mi Li felt like she couldn't get angry at all, and she disappeared in a flash, no matter how much Zu An called her.
No more answers.
If I go, will I really make Sister Queen angry?
Zu An called for a while but got no response, so he couldn't help but said: "Sister Queen, aren't you jealous?"
"Haha, eat you big-headed devil!" Mi Li finally responded this time.
Zu An laughed loudly: "For a man like me who is so charming, if you have been with me for a long time, it is normal for you to fall in love with me unknowingly."
Mi Li: "..."
I don’t know where this guy got such a thick skin, and he actually thought that he would like him?
Will the empress of the empire, the majestic mother of a country and the empress of the world, fall in love with this scoundrel-like little bastard?
If the two of them weren't soul bound and would live and die together, she would have slapped him to death.
If I am really blind and fall in love with this guy, I will kneel down and sing conquest to him every day as retribution!
Their souls were intertwined, and they understood each other much better. She even knew the song "Conquer".
The anger value from Mi Li is +33+33+33...
Feeling that she was really angry, Zu An hurriedly apologized and comforted her. Unfortunately, no matter what he said, Mi Li stopped responding.
Zu An is also used to it. Things like this happen frequently during this period. She is such a arrogant royal sister.
He held Pei Mianman's hand and continued to explore deeper. Suddenly, a warning sign rose in his heart. He hurriedly pushed Pei Mianman away and jumped in the other direction.
At this time, a cold light fell from the sky and hit the place where the two people were just standing.
"Azu!" Pei Mianman also came back to her senses. She was surrounded by black flames and had entered a fighting state. However, when she saw the appearance of the sneak attacker in the middle, she was stunned for a moment, "This is
…”
The white bones on his body were faintly exuding a layer of crystal light, and the deep-set eye sockets were dimly lit with two flashes of red light. He was holding a huge Changge, and the whole person looked majestic.
Zu An swallowed: "Why does this guy look familiar?"
Pei Mianman replied: "It seems to be the skeleton warrior who was kneeling next to the stone gate before..."
Before she could finish her words, the skeleton warrior had already moved, flipped sideways, and struck at Zu An with the long sword in his hand. Obviously, even if it was dead, it still instinctively regarded the man as the biggest threat and wanted to get rid of it first.
.
The opponent's momentum surged at this moment, and his sideways spinning and waving posture was so handsome. He looked like a god of death wielding a scythe to harvest life.
If it wasn't for him, Zu An would probably give him a thumbs up.
But the extremely oppressive momentum made him dare not be careless at all. He hurriedly took out the Tai'a sword and rushed forward. He roared and rushed forward without avoiding it: "Let me test your strength!"
boom!
There was a loud noise, and a figure flew back directly and hit the wall nearby, causing some bricks on it to shatter.
Zu An became frightened from the dust and spat out the gravel in his mouth: "Well, it's really quite powerful."
Pei Mianman on the side chuckled. This guy was so funny every time he fought. She was worried that the other party would be at fault, so she hurriedly waved the black flame and rushed over to help.
