Before the last ray of sunset faded, Liu De and his party walked to a river bend in the west of Shanxi.
The originally violent river seemed relatively calm in this section of the river bend.
The water on the river is so dull that the sunset is reflected in it, which is so beautiful.
At this time, the moon began to appear in the sky, and stars were dotted, dotting the vast starry sky, competing with the afterglow of the sun that was about to set.
"The journey of the sun and the moon can be seen in it; the stars are shining brightly in it!" Liu De said with emotion, Cao A'ao's poem is really suitable for this moment!
"Zhou Qing, where is this?" Liu De asked as he walked to the bend of the river and looked down at the river rushing through the deep valley more than ten feet below his feet.
Zhou Zuoche looked around, touched his forehead, and said: "Your Highness, I don't know, I'll ask you later..."
Not long after, Zhou Zuoche came back and reported: "Your Highness, I have asked, this seems to be the place where King Wei worshiped his queen more than a hundred years ago, and it has been abandoned for a long time!"
"Where is the place where the King of Wei worships the Queen?" Liu De raised his eyebrows and said: "I saw a faint divine light here, as bright as Jinyu, and this is where the King of Wei worshiped the Queen in the past... Come here
People! Look around carefully and see what you can find?"
"No!" Wang Dao immediately accepted the order, and then led a dozen followers to search around.
Not long after, Wang Dao came back and reported: "Your Highness, this slave has discovered an abandoned temple..."
"Let's go... I'll go over and see what's shining!" Liu De waved his hand and led the ministers, led by Wang Dao, through a field full of weeds and thorns. With the help of starlight, Liu De saw several things.
Buried among the weeds and thorns, there are ruins and broken walls, but it’s getting late, so it’s a little blurry.
"Light the fire!" Liu De ordered to light the torches left and right. In an instant, hundreds of torches illuminated the land and things in front of him.
After clearly seeing the broken walls buried among the grass and thorns, Zhou Zuoche sighed with some disappointment. Originally, he thought he could find some auspiciousness here!
In this way, he might be able to gain some merit and even increase the number of households in the town!
Now it seems that there are just a few broken walls, nothing surprising...
"Maybe His Highness is dazzled?" Zhou Zuoche complained in his mind.
Most of the other accompanying ministers and officials felt the same way.
But Liu De suddenly looked to the left and right sides of the abandoned temple and said, "I saw that the terrain here is very different, or there may be something strange about it. Come here! Dig up the ground for me. See what's under the ground?"
As a prince, if Liu De wanted to have some mischief, no one would dare to criticize him.
What's more, when everyone took a closer look, the terrain around the temple was indeed a bit weird, a bit like a hook.
At this time, the Yin Yang family generally believed that there must be strange treasures under the earth if there was something strange about it.
Therefore, no one has any objection to Liu De's order.
Not long after, hundreds of followers took various utensils and began to dig up the surface to search for anything hidden underground. As soon as these people started working, they immediately alerted the people who were hiding in the grass, preparing to take advantage of today's good time and beautiful scenery.
Fireflies came out to reproduce at night. Countless fireflies were frightened and flew out from the grass and thorns, lingering and flying in the air. At this time, the sky was completely dark. These fireflies were shining in the air, adding to the scene at this moment.
A lot of mystery.
Liu De was really nervous at the moment.
Is that tripod the Nine Tripods of Emperor Yu or the more ancient Tripod of Heaven, Earth and Man? Or is it a fake?
Liu De didn't have any confidence.
This little liver is beating thump thump thump thump.
About a quarter of an hour later, there was a sudden noise in a wasteland on the east side. Liu De knew that the tripod general had been unearthed, so he led everyone towards the noise and asked pretending to be surprised as he walked.
: "What's so alarming?"
"Your Highness has dug something!" Wang Dao came over, knelt down and kowtowed: "I am a humble servant, and you dare not defile the artifact. Your Highness, please go and check it out in person!"
Just now Wang Dao had taken a look from a distance, and with just one glance, he immediately knew that he had dug up something extraordinary. The shape of the object and the fireflies lingering in the sky when it was unearthed all told him that this object was something extraordinary!
Liu De approached and asked people to light torches and move forward.
I saw a few soldiers carefully digging a pit that had been dug several feet deep. There was a lot of loess scattered around, and the loess was also mixed with some bricks, pottery pieces, bamboo slips, and tortoise shells.
Liu De walked to the edge of the pit and saw part of a large cauldron suddenly appearing in the pit.
Although the body of the tripod is covered with loess and stains, you can still see the patterns of mountains and rivers, and the shapes of birds and animals engraved on the body of the tripod through the firelight.
Liu De waved his hand and signaled the soldiers to continue digging.
He himself knelt down and picked up a rotten bamboo slip scattered in the loess, which was almost completely rotten. He opened it and found that the words on it were blurred and could no longer be read.
But Liu De's face was filled with joy, and he knelt down and kowtowed: "The Taiyi God appeared and blessed me first in Wushan Mountain, and now he has guided me to find the treasure tripod. This is the destiny in Han, and the clear proof that my emperor's father is so virtuous!"
He took the bamboo slip with no words on it, spread it out in a pretentious manner, and read: "The king of Song Dynasty sealed his mouth and divined Wu Cang. Cang Zhan said: Ji, the tripod's other and it's, the tripod's xiaoxiu, the beginning.
If you are stingy, there will be consequences!"
He stood up and proudly announced to everyone: "This is the Emperor Yu's tripod. Xia Kai founded the country on it. It was passed down to the Yin and Shang Dynasties. Zhou Wu conquered the Shang Dynasty. After being granted the title of emperor of the Shang Dynasty, he came to the Song Dynasty. It was a treasure of the Song Dynasty. After the Song Dynasty died, it returned to the Wei Dynasty.
The King of Wei felt that he had no virtue and was not worthy of the cauldron, so he enshrined it in the land of his ancestors. Now God has guided me to find this cauldron, which is exactly what Heaven wants to do to prosper the Han Dynasty!"
Many people didn't react to what Liu De said about Xia Kai at first. They didn't know who he was talking about, but they soon realized that on this day and age, His Highness Liu De's royal father had kept it secret, in order to avoid being the emperor's father.
, I can only wrong Xia Qi and change his name...
Everyone was stunned by this bombshell news. Who had time to check whether there was any writing on the bamboo slips in Liu De's hand?
So Liu De quickly put away the bamboo slips.
Well, wait two days and then find someone who is proficient in Wei writing and witchcraft to make a good fake.
In this way, whether this tripod is authentic or not, it is regarded as one of the nine tripods held by the Song Dynasty.
As for other shortcomings, who can refute it in the face of "conclusive evidence" documentary records?
Besides, Liu De is not just talking nonsense.
At the very least, the witchcraft divination he read does indeed exist. Among the books in Shiqu Pavilion, there is a book called "Guide", which records that after King Wu of Zhou was granted the title of Shangjun, he became the Marquis of Song Dynasty. In the early Song Dynasty,
You used the cauldron for divination and asked the wizard to divine the inscriptions. No matter how others check it, these are all conclusive historical facts!
When Zhou Zuoche heard what Liu De said, he felt that happiness came so quickly!
Song Ding came from Fenxi, no matter what, he will definitely be able to benefit from it, and it is not impossible to even be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!
Therefore, he hoped and believed what Liu De said more than anyone else. So, without even looking at the tripod in the pit, he knelt down and congratulated: "Taiyi used Jinyu's divine light to guide your highness to find
The treasure tripod, the insects and birds that come out of the treasure tripod are different, all the ministers and others see this, I congratulate your majesty, congratulate your highness, and congratulate all the people in the world!" (To be continued...)
