During the few years when Yu Zai was away, the chiefs in the south carried out their duties very well. Of course, some unexpected situations occurred during this period, which led to the change of positions of some chiefs and the adjudication by the elders.
The act of taking advantage of one's position for personal gain appeared. After being reported by warriors of some tribes, a ruling was made in accordance with the laws enacted by Zanzai and some laws added by Daye. The corrupt leader was brought to the place where Zunzai had made the case.
People carried out the farmer's market near the pillar - Caishikou.
The great wizard of Chaisang Mountain read out the crime of the other party, and with the identification of multiple evidences, the leader confessed. Many of the things he did in these messages were relatively secretive, but they were still found out.
It was the Huoguang Rat family who found the information and evidence. These rats that had become strange beasts, under the assignment of a certain cow totem god, carried out various intelligence collection tasks.
However, this has nothing to do with the Tong Hong family. Youhou’s totem did not return to the Tong Hong family. In this corruption incident, the Tong Hong family’s wizard was also stared at with a kind of wonder for a long time.
“Look what I’m doing! The cows you used belonged to me in the first place. How can I covet my own cows?”
The wizard of the Tonghong clan pointed at the noses of those leaders and cursed, and the leader of the corruption this time came from the Gaoshi clan. For this reason, the high priest of the Gaoshi clan was very ashamed, although he had also used "purchasing" and "paying tribute" in the past.
Similar embezzlement was carried out in the name of "but that was the era of sacrifice..."
This is the age of the alliance, not the age of ancient tribal sacrifices. The alliance has its own laws and rules.
The high priest requested to be dismissed, and according to the law, the criminal leader of the Xu Ao family had to participate in two years of labor reform and ideological reform. The door to the production team had been opened for him, and the Xu Ao family's pigherders would educate him well.
.
After this incident came out, the great wizard of the Xunshan clan still wanted to resolve it peacefully. The great wizard of Chaisangshan thought that he should be severely punished, so he finally sent him to a labor camp. At this time, Yinglong came out to speak.
"Life has only been better for a few years, and we have begun to make the same mistakes as in the past. Even in the Central Plains, those who embezzled shell coins, property, and even food will be severely punished. The Hongzhou Alliance has elected you as the leader.
These leaders are because you have done things that are beneficial to the alliance, but the rights given to you are not used for personal gain."
“Using public weapons for personal use and embezzling property are considered cowardly crimes in the Central Plains and will result in death.”
Although the leader admitted his mistake, he still said: "But we are Hongzhou...not the Central Plains."
Yinglong then reprimanded and asked: "Is it possible that Hongzhou's laws are so easily destroyed? Hongzhou does not kill people, but you are not fully aware of your mistake. The production of any item has its source.
Yes, if you embezzle, you will become an example of getting something for nothing."
Daye said: “This is embezzling other people’s property.”
After the public trial in Caishikou, the leader of the Gaoshi clan was assigned. The high priest felt very sad because the assigned leader was the leader of the Gaoshi clan....
But after this incident, the Gaoshi clan will definitely be in turmoil, and the position of the clan leader will also be changed. Now is the era of the alliance, and the clan leader no longer has as much power as in the past, and is just the head of a tribe.
Just a village chief cadre.
The ten rectitudes established at that time are now missing a "sacrificial righteousness".
After thinking about it, the people in the elder's ancestral land decided not to give this position to the tribe, but to invite a Qi practitioner to take the position. Everyone wanted Beimen Cheng to take up this position, but Beimen Cheng recommended Yunzhong.
son.
Everyone does not know much about Yun Zhongzi, except that he is an old friend of Beimen Cheng...
Cloud neutrons?
The high priest is thinking about something maliciously.
Does he know how to perform sacrifices?
Just a cloud human!
However, other Qi refiners unanimously recommended him. Taking into account the issue of reputation, Elder Ancestor decided to conduct a period of inspection and observation, so that he could temporarily perform the duties of sacrificial righteousness. Such kindness made Yun Zhongzi read a poem on the spot.
...
"Then, the Great Flood Control City will begin trial operation in three days. There will be sacrifices at that time. Please prepare the sacrifices needed to worship the heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, the Five Ancestors, the stars, mountains, rivers, insects and fish."
"Sacrifice to heaven and earth, using the heads of cattle, sheep, and pigs, plus brewed wine."
“Sacrifice to the sun, moon and God, use firewood to build a high platform, and use the fire from the giant yue platform to light it.”
“When offering sacrifices to the Five Ancestors, please use five types of grains: rice, wheat, millet, bean sprouts, and millet.”
"To worship the ancestors of the stars, use a white straw mat made of Imperata, which is the emperor's seat, and use a bunch of grass to turn into a torch, called a candle, plus ten pieces of white jade excavated in Hongzhou."
“Sacrifice to mountains and rivers, use white rice, deer, chicken, fish...”
“To sacrifice insects and fish, we use soil from all directions in Hongzhou, from the mountains and fields of Datang in the west, to the dam of Langzhize in the east, to the ancestral land of the Diyou family in the south, and to the west tidal flat of Dajiang in the north.”
There are many rules, and some are newly added to show the importance of this sacrifice. For this reason, the high priest turned over the slips left by his ancestors, and when the high priest told Yun Zhongzi, he even thought about it.
, if Yun Zhongzi’s sacrifice this time is successful, then in the future, no one will be convinced by him to take up the position of sacrifice.
But what Huangdi was thinking was:
“I’m familiar with all this.”
Speaking of offering sacrifices to the Five Ancestors...I offer sacrifices to Ju Fang, Fu Xi, Shennong, Xuanyuan, Chi You...I offer sacrifices to myself?
The position of these five ancestors has also been discussed. After all, they have to take into account the mood of many local tribes. The Chifang clan will definitely sacrifice to Shennong, the Jiuli clan will sacrifice to Chiyou, Chaisangshan will sacrifice to the Yellow Emperor, and some people from outside will sacrifice to the Human Emperor Ju Fang clan.
, and the calendar and fishing and hunting that everyone uses, for example, the southwestern tribes worship Fuxi...
So the definition of the Five Ancestors is just to bring the people of Hongzhou together into one family.
The rest of the ancestors were listed in the act of worshiping the "stars".
Two days later.
The water level of the river has risen a lot. The post-autumn season is also a period of rising water. After this period, the water level will drop again. It is during this rising season that people from the south gather near the large flood control city.
In a large area of Wuyangyang, all the tribal leaders of the Hongzhou Alliance came.
In order to ensure the success of the first work, Huangdi came here one day in advance to arrange the work. He said that he was just a passerby, but he did not expect Beimen Cheng and others to ask him to take up the post of sacrifice.
“Did you report the clan leader of the Gao Shi clan?”
“Yun Zhongzi, you know me, am I that kind of person?”
Beimen Cheng responded like this.
The trial operation of the large flood control city will be tomorrow. The sacrifices will begin at dawn in the early morning. The water will be available in the morning. Huang Di was very emotional about this...
You don’t care whether the ancestors and emperors went to work or not, the gifts will be left at people’s doorsteps anyway, right?
