The next day, the tripod buried deep in the land next to the earthen temple of the Queen of Wei was completely excavated.
After being cleaned and wiped, the giant cauldron was sent to Fenyin Hou's residence, and was immediately put under strict care and protection.
But the news spread immediately among the people. The speed of spread was staggering. In just half a day, the whole Hedong knew that one of the Nine Cauldrons was found in Fenxi. There were all kinds of things with noses and eyes, mixed with strange stories.
The statement then spread like wildfire.
Anyi, Governor's Mansion, Zhou Yangyou was extremely shocked after hearing the report from his subordinates, and asked: "Have you confirmed that it is Jiuding? Is it Qingding? Jiding? Or?"
Now Zhou Yangyou is extremely scared.
In fact, Jiuding has too many mysterious auras and sacred colors.
At that time, King Wu of Qin relied on his own ability and asked for the Zhou Ding from the Zhou Dynasty. As a result, he broke his toe on the tripod and died.
The Zhou Dynasty collapsed, and the Qin people wanted to collect the tripods in Xianyang. As a result, all the tripods hidden by the Zhou Dynasty disappeared inexplicably.
Qin Shihuang mobilized thousands of people to search Surabaya for several years, but still found nothing.
These various stories continue to ferment among the people, forming many myths and stories about the Nine Tripods having destiny, which cannot be obtained except by human masters. Some people even categorically say that each of the Nine Tripods has the blessing of the nine Lords of God, and there is no destiny.
Those who are strong will not be able to obtain the cauldron. Even if they forcefully obtain the cauldron, they will die miserably. King Wu of Qin is a clear proof.
And these things have been talked about so much that even intellectuals and bureaucrats believe that Jiuding does carry the destiny of heaven and is protected by ghosts and gods.
Now that Liu De has won the tripod, it means that God himself has participated in the power struggle in the mortal world.
Who dares to be the enemy of God?
Zhou Yangyou thought for a while, and he felt that if he wanted to rebel now, he would not need the emperor's order. He also did not need Liu De to speak, his men would be able to tie him up. Even he himself would not dare to resist the power of Jiuding.
.
Because of this, Zhou Yang only felt flustered at this moment. He began to regret his reckless behavior of threatening the angel.
But now that the matter has come to this, what can he do?
A feeling of despair began to arise in my heart.
"Should I drink poison and commit suicide to avoid harming my family?" Zhou Yang suddenly thought in his heart.
The emperor of the Han Dynasty was still somewhat tolerant towards his guilty ministers.
Generally, if the criminal commits suicide, his family will basically not be harmed again.
However, in the next few hours, Zhou Yang prepared to commit suicide several times to apologize, but in the end nothing happened.
When the wine reached his mouth, he felt that the wine might be bitter, and dying from bitterness would be a very miserable thing.
He thought about hanging from a beam. But when he thought about the plight of people who had committed suicide by hanging from a beam in the past, he felt that it was too painful.
He wanted to jump into the well, but just as he was about to jump in, he immediately thought, the water in the well is so cold, if I jump in, won't I freeze to death in it?
Just like this, it dragged on until the afternoon. At this time, Zhou Yangyou received a greeting card. On the greeting card, there was a sentence written on it: My old friend Yuan Si would like to pay my respects to the Ming Dynasty!
Yuan Si! Yuan An!
Zhou Yangyou felt that he had met a great savior!
Yuan Ang is an important minister!
Although he has been dismissed from his post by the emperor and beaten to the end, who doesn't know that Yuan An has a relationship with the East Palace. He is also a guest of Prime Minister Shen Tujia?
If we can get Yuan Si's help, then we may be able to survive this disaster safely!
So, Zhou Yangyou immediately ordered his surroundings: "Please quickly invite Mr. Si to come in and meet me!"
He opened the middle gate of the county magistrate's office to welcome him.

at the same time.
In the Fenyin Hou Mansion, Liu De stared at the giant tripod standing in front of him.
The height of this tripod is about 80-90 cm, and the width is 30-40 cm. The visual weight is about 300-400 kilograms in later generations, which is about a thousand kilograms in today's weight.
Liu De stepped forward and inspected the belly and ears of the tripod. This is the only way to directly identify the tripod.
According to Ming history records, the name of Jiuzhou is engraved on the belly of each tripod.
In addition, the tripod's ears and feet are engraved with dragon patterns, so it is also called the Nine Dragons Divine Cauldron.
Liu De examined it carefully. The belly of this tripod did not have the inscription Kyushu, but the feet and ears of the tripod had dragon patterns, and they were Yinglong dragon patterns from ancient times.
Looking at the mountains, rivers, birds, beasts, ghosts and ghosts engraved inside and outside the tripod, Liu De stood beside the tripod. He felt that he could not prove whether the tripod was real or fake!
As a time traveler, he is also a time traveler who has been obsessed with history. Before time traveling, Liu De had seen the Wu Ding and Fang Ding unearthed from the Shang Dynasty on the Internet, as well as the Erlitou Bronze Jue unearthed from the late Xia Dynasty.
Judging from the feeling, Liu De feels that this tripod is more like the bronze tripod of the middle and late Shang Dynasty.
Because, regardless of the casting technology or craftsmanship, it is very close to the style of some Shang Dynasty bronze tripods that Liu De has seen online. It is not the style of the late Xia Dynasty bronze tripods.
"If this is the real Jiuding, I am afraid that merchants would have recast the Jiuding thousands of years before me..." Liu De could only think of this explanation.
In fact, this can be explained.
According to Ming history records, the Nine Cauldrons stored in the Zhou Dynasty weighed more than a thousand pieces.
Of course, this is an exaggeration. One jun is 30 kilograms, and a thousand jun is 30,000 kilograms. Neither the Xia Dynasty nor the Shang Dynasty could cast a giant tripod of such weight.
Moreover, Ming history records that King Wu of Qin once lifted the Yongzhou tripod, although he was immediately smashed by the Yongzhou tripod and died suddenly.
But before King Wu of Qin, another warrior also lifted the Yongzhou Tripod. The history books of the Qin Dynasty record that after that warrior lifted the Yongzhou Tripod, his eyes bled and he was seriously injured.
Judging from this story, the weight of Yongzhou Ding should be about 200 kilograms.
No matter how heavy it is, it cannot be lifted by humans.
No future Olympic weightlifting champion has ever lifted a barbell weighing more than 300 kilograms!
Therefore, from the weight, shape and craftsmanship, Liu De felt that this should indeed be one of the nine tripods enshrined by the Song Dynasty clan.
However, the most critical thing is missing, and that is the unique inscription of the name of Kyushu on the belly of each Jiuding.
Without this thing, it would be difficult to prove that the tripod in front of you is the real Jiuding.
So where did the inscription on the belly of the tripod go?
Looking at the silent cauldron, Liu De couldn't find the answer and could only guess.
"If it is really the tripod of the Song Dynasty, then there is only one possibility, and that is that the kings of the Song Dynasty were ashamed of the country's subjugation and erased the inscriptions on the belly of the tripod..." Liu De thought, but after thinking about it,
, This is very unreasonable. It is true that the Song Dynasty is a descendant of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, but they are also the leading party of the Zhou royal family and have made contributions to King Wu of Zhou's attack on the merchants. It makes no sense, what kind of shame would they have?
In view of the humiliation of the country's subjugation, what's more, according to Ming history records, the Song Ding should have been enshrined in the ancestral hall of the Song Dynasty ancestral temple to enjoy incense and sacrifice.
"Is it true or false?" Liu De looked at this giant cauldron, shook his head, and suddenly smiled: "I'll leave it to future generations to comment!"
This tripod, Liu De felt, if the cheap daddy didn't plan to bring it into the imperial palace mausoleum for a hundred years, then he didn't plan to take it underground either, and just let it stay quietly in Chang'an, waiting for the development of history.
With the progress of science, one day someone may be able to prove its authenticity.
But at that time, its authenticity no longer mattered.
As for now, Liu De says it is true, who dares to refute it?
With this in mind, Liu De picked up a pen and wrote on the silk book: The treasure tripod comes out of Fenxiang, the destiny is clear, the glory is in the Han Dynasty, and I wish my father the emperor to live forever!
Then, he handed it over to Wang Dao and said: "Send the message back to Chang'an quickly and ask Father to make a decision!"
Liu De felt that with his cheap daddy's always sullen character, he might not be able to sit still after hearing this news and would have to go to Fenxiang. (To be continued)
