Yu Fan arranged the table, took out the bamboo basket containing yarrow, and then went to Lantian to practice the Dharma.
In ancient times, people attached great importance to sacrifices and respecting the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth. All major events in the country were first performed by divination and then divination.
The method of the Dayan 筮 is not complicated. The Zhouyi system says: "The number of the Dayan is fifty, and the number forty is nine. Divide it into two to symbolize two, hang one to symbolize three, and cut it into four to symbolize four.
At that time, I was surprised that the carving was used to symbolize a leap, and it was a leap again when I was five years old, so I cared again and then hung it..."
Through the "arbitrary" allocation of the Dayan method, according to the number of remaining yarrows, four results are obtained: Shaoyang, Shaoyin, Laoyang, and Laoyin. Each time you perform a row, you will get one line, and you will perform the Dayan row six times.
Dharma consists of six lines from bottom to top to form an image.
Diviners interpret the hexagrams and scriptures to predict the direction of events.
Statistics can be regarded as a probability problem. The Dayan method shows that the probabilities of Shaoyang, Shaoyin, Laoyang, and Laoyin are respectively 5, 7, 3, and 1/16, so everything in the world is being calculated.
, it’s just that the unknown algorithm is hidden too deeply and needs to be slowly revealed and solved.
Yu Fan worked hard for a long time and came up with a hexagram. When he finished arranging the yarrow, he showed a solemn expression. When Lantian saw this expression, his heart skipped a beat, thinking, "Goodbye, isn't it a bad omen?" Although I don't believe in ghosts and gods, but
People of this era have no doubts about it.
Suddenly, Yu Fan broke off the second long yarrow on the top, forming a regular pattern in which the top three were disconnected and the bottom three were connected.
Doesn’t Yu Fan like to speak out and give advice? Why did he start cheating in front of me? He was trying to trick me into not understanding the hexagrams of the Yi Jing. He said that he didn’t know other hexagrams, but the Tai hexagram Lantian of Kun Shang Gan Xia was really
You know, because this is the most auspicious hexagram among the sixty-four hexagrams.
"Zhongxiang, how are you?" Lan Tian asked knowingly.
Yu Fan held up his hands to announce the good news and said: "This sign is very auspicious. This expedition will definitely go smoothly."
When Lan Tian heard that this was indeed the case, he suddenly remembered a line from a skit, 'I didn't expect that a guy like you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also rebel.'
"I just saw Zhong Xiang here..." Lan Tian pointed to the cut yarrow and hesitated, saying to himself that your behavior just now was like a classmate who was doing something small, but the teacher could see it clearly from the podium.
.
Lan Tian originally thought that Yu Fan would look embarrassed, but unexpectedly he smiled slightly and said: "Fu Jun is really observant. The line you pointed out is Lao Yang, and Lao Yang and Lao Yin are both dynamic lines, which means that things will change, so
After the change, the Yang Yao becomes Yin Yao."
"Oh? What was the hexagram before? What is the connection between the two after the change of the Yao? Please Zhongxiang explain in more detail." Lan Tianxin said it depends on how you explain it. Since it involves changing the hexagram, there will always be a connection between the previous and the last hexagram.
?
Yu Fan looked surprised, "Does the prince of the government also know how to do it? You can tell a lot about it from your question."
"It's a simple dabbling without any in-depth research." Lan Tian said carelessly.
Yu Fan nodded in affirmation. He knew that Yi Xue was profound and profound. Without long and hard study, it was only possible to learn the superficial aspects of it. He took out a few more yarrow sticks, quickly arranged them into the previous hexagrams, and then explained: "
This hexagram is the water and sky need hexagram, and the other hexagram is the earth, sky and tai hexagram. Need means waiting, and tai means auspiciousness and understanding. The emperor wants to predict the good or bad luck of the war, that is, he must be fully prepared before going to war. The war will be unfavorable. The two hexagrams echo each other.
, which is a sign of good luck."
When Lan Tian heard about the good guy, he thought to himself that it was hard for ordinary people to resist the swindlers played by intellectuals. He was sure that Yu Fan was talking about something nice, so he asked: "I know the Tai hexagram very well, but about the Xian hexagram
I don’t know much about it, can Zhong Xiang make it clearer and what specific preparations are needed?”
When a person is consulted in his or her professional field, and the other person can ask questions without asking for a thorough explanation, the answerer will generally have a strong sense of pride, be particularly willing to develop a good impression of the seeker, and will patiently explain the answer.
This is how Yu Fan feels about Lantian now. He smiled and answered: "The water in the hexagram needs to go up and down to the sky. When water is in the sky and does not fall, it becomes clouds. The earth needs rain to moisten the seedlings, so it must wait for the clouds to gather and form rain. Mr. Fu is right
He is very proficient in farming, and he also knows that the upcoming spring plowing will have to wait until the spring rains fall before sowing can finally be done. The Jiaozhou army is going to go on an expedition to the south of Japan. Doesn’t the training of the soldiers, the allocation of equipment, and the storage of grain and grass all have to wait?"
Lan Tian was startled when he heard that Yu Fan actually came back to his senses. He thought that he was indeed a master of Yixue. He then asked: "I know that the six lines of the Tai hexagram are all auspicious. How about the six lines of the Yin hexagram?"
"Well... the overall situation is good, but the third and fourth lines of the land seem to be risky. However, the army is about to go out, and the waiting time may be over. You don't have to worry about it. The final result will definitely be good." Yu Fan
comforted.
"Please Zhongxiang write down the scriptures of the Hexagram Need, I plan to read them carefully." Lan Tian took out a notepad and handed it over.
Yu Fan didn't expect that Lan Tian was so eager to learn. He took the notepad and started writing. The scripture was very simple:
Ninth day of the lunar month: You need to be in the suburbs, make use of it, and have no faults.
Ninety-two: Need to be in the sand, small words, good luck in the end.
Ninety-three: Need to be in the mud, leading to bandits.
Sixty-Four: Needs blood and comes from acupuncture points.
Ninety-Five: Drinking and eating are necessary, chastity and good luck.
Chapter 6: Entering the acupuncture point, three uninvited guests came. I wish you good luck.
Yu Fan handed back the notepad after writing, and said with a smile: "The Kou and Xue Nai Zhi in 1993 and 64 are not a sign of something dangerous happening. It may be the difficulties encountered in the preparation, such as the current situation in Jiaozhou.
The treasury of the treasury can only support the expedition, but cannot meet the local construction needs proposed by the Gong Cao at the same time. The treasury can be used as a reference, and there is no need to stick to the scriptures."
"This last sentence..." Lan Tian hesitated before speaking.
"Nine-five means that after sufficient preparation, things will develop to the nine-sixth stage. It means that there may be unexpected things before the expedition. You only need to treat it with respect, and it will be good in the end." Yu Fan continued to enlighten.
Lan Tian nodded his doubts and accepted the letter. He kept the notepad close to his body, then said goodbye to Yu Fan and left the Li Cao Yamen.
The date of the army's expedition was finally set on the sixth day of February according to Yu Fan's choice.
Although Lan Tian didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he was still affected by Yu Fan's words. He was very worried for the next few days and could not sleep at night.
Lu Lingqi mistakenly thought that Lantian was busy with government affairs, so she asked Hua Tuo to prescribe two doses of medicine to calm the nerves and replenish qi. She also cooked the medicine for Lantian herself and used it as tea soup to coax Lantian to drink it as a tonic.
On the fifth day of February, the day before the army set off for the expedition, Lantian summoned Gao Shun, Lanyuan, Shamoke, Li Yi, Jiang Wan, and Yu Fan to the state capital to give final instructions.
Considering that the recovery of Rinan County requires someone to take charge of it, Lantian immediately thought of Yu Fan. He was the son of the former Rinan Governor Yu Xin. Under the influence of his father, he had considerable experience in governing Rinan, so Lantian intended to let Yu Fan
After the war, his son succeeded his father and became the governor.
"Gong Yan, during Zhongxiang's absence, Li Cao's affairs cannot be stopped. Zhongxiang recommended Cheng Deshu (Cheng Bing) to me. You will talk to him later. If you agree, you can bring him to see me tomorrow." Lan Tian ordered.
.
"Wei." Jiang Wan nodded.
...
Boom, boom, boom, while Lan Tian was talking, Gao Yuan, the captain of the guard, knocked on the door of the palace, and then brought in a familiar figure.
Lan Tian was shocked when he saw the visitor. He looked at Yu Fan in disbelief and thought to himself, "You are too accurate, right? Is it really an accident?"
"Uncle Ji, why are you here?" Lan Tian stood up and greeted him.
