I really don't want to be king

Chapter 11: Eleven Divination Techniques

"Sir, see Your Majesty..."

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the Taiji Holy Emperor stood with his back, and the national teacher Bu Li (word Xuanji) bowed from behind to salute, but did not bow down.

——Dagan law, the position of the three princes, you can avoid kneeling and worshiping when you meet the Holy Emperor.

"Mystery... Do you still remember the divination in the first year of the founding of the country?"

The Holy Emperor turned around slowly, waved his hands back to the left and right, but he didn't even stay with the personal eunuchs, and drove them all out. For a while, only the Taiji Holy Emperor and the national teacher Bu Li, who had been with him for many years, were left in the huge Hall of Mental Cultivation. Just a best friend.

Bu Li's expression moved slightly when he heard the words, but he slowly stood up straight with a look of memory on his face.

"I learned the art of divination (shì) from my teacher since I was a child. Now for more than [-] years, I have recorded thousands of divinations. The rest of the divinations may be missed or gradually forgotten. Only the divinations in the first year of the founding of the country have the same shape. The deceitfulness, the difference in the hexagrams, and the surprise in the foretelling are all things that have never been heard in my life!"

As if the divination of that day appeared again in his mind, Bu Li couldn't help breathing heavier, his heart was agitated, and he couldn't hold himself for a while.

"How can I forget such divination...how can I forget it?"

The Holy Emperor sighed, but walked slowly towards Bu Li.

"That's right... such a vision, I have never seen it in this life! From then on, the events of that day are like etchings in my heart, and eternal life can't be erased..."

The two got closer and closer, while the Holy Emperor sighed, he took out a tortoise shell with a cracked back from his sleeve, and slowly placed it in Bu Li's hand.

Looking at the tortoise shell in his memory, Bu Li's pupils shrank for a moment, his hands trembled slightly, but he couldn't help recalling the world-shocking Bu Li that day...

……

"Report~~ Congratulations to Your Majesty! Congratulations to Your Majesty! In the first year of the founding of the country, happy to have a prince!"

In the first year of Daqian Shenwu, the Taiji sage emperor who had been waiting for a long time in the Hall of Mental Cultivation heard about Longyan Dayue, so he conferred the title of Noble Lan as Concubine Lan to show his favor.

Immediately after that, the national teacher Bu Li was urgently summoned to the palace to have an audience, and the two went to the Yiyuan Hall alone to perform divination, so as to predict the direction of the country's fortune.

The so-called divination technique is "the tortoise is used for divination, and the policy is used for divination", that is, tortoise shells are used for divination, and yarrow (shì) grass is used for divination, so as to use the shapes presented by some inanimate natural objects to predict good or bad luck.

The methods are probably burning tortoises to observe signs, making decisions to determine numbers, and so on.

Among them, scorching tortoise to observe omens refers to drilling and engraving on the tortoise shell or animal bones, then burning them with fire, and then looking at the cracks to determine the omens.

"摓实定位" is to hold yarrow to determine its number to determine good or bad luck. "摓" means "holding" and "ce" refers to the yarrow used for divination.

And the technique of divination has its own three methods of divination:

One is divination first and then divination, because everything has an image first and then a number, the tortoise is an image, and the divination is a number. When divination, first use yarrow to divination. If you get a good number, you don’t need to divination again.

The second is that there are no more than three divinations. Sometimes it is not possible to get a good omen with just one divination. If one divination is not auspicious, you can re-divination. If the divination is still unlucky for three times, you cannot do it again. 'Things (divine) but three'.

The third is that divination and divination do not follow each other, because they are divination first and then divination. If the divination is unlucky, you can divination again. If the divination is unlucky, you can't divination again.

As a proud disciple of Nangong Shi, who was honored as the master of Yi and annotated under the tutelage of the Book of Changes, the national teacher Bu Li naturally learned the three methods of divination. number.

"Xuanji, how... can I get an auspicious number?"

The Holy Emperor stood aside and asked incessantly.

"This……"

Bu Li frowned, looking at the hexagram (yáo) in front of him after three changes, he couldn't help muttering:

"Six Five, Huang Chang, Yuan Ji..."

Taiji Sage Emperor couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard the words, but he didn't know whether his interpretation was correct, so he hurriedly asked.

"Xuanji, what is the meaning of this hexagram?"

Bu Li immediately put down the yarrow in his hand, and walked slowly on the spot, brushing his beard with one hand, trying to figure out the meaning of the hexagram carefully.

He couldn't help being careless. After all, the birth of a prince in the first year of the founding of the country was a gift from God. Who can guarantee that God didn't have the intention of doing great things?

And this hexagram and line: Liuwu, Huangshang, Yuanji.

Sixth Five-Year is the title of Yao, Huang Chang and Yuan Ji are the words of Yao.

Among them, yellow clothes refer to yellow skirt pants, which just correspond to the yellow armor and yellow skirt in the Dagan army. Yellow is the national color of Dagan, and the people of Gan regard yellow clothes as auspicious and noble things.

Yuanji is for great auspiciousness, so it naturally belongs to the hexagram of auspiciousness.

"The sky is dead, Huang Tian should stand..."

Bu Li paced and walked, but said something amazing!

The Emperor Taiji was startled when he heard the words, and all the beard brushing stopped suddenly!

"When the year is in Jiazi, the world is prosperous!"

As soon as this remark came out, the Holy Emperor was moved!

It should be known that the first year of Shenwu is the year of Jiazi. Doesn't Bu Li's interpretation just show that this is an auspicious omen for the rise of Daqian? !

"But... what does this hexagram mean to the Ninth Prince?"

The Holy Emperor was slightly hesitant, because although this hexagram was an auspicious hexagram, he didn't know how it was related to the newly born Ninth Prince!

"Since that's the case...Rong Chen makes another divination!"

Bu Li nodded slightly, but he was going to make another hexagram for the Ninth Prince.

It is another way to arrange the yarrow grass in the hexagram method of yarrow cloth. After three changes, the hexagrams and lines will come out!

"Ninety-Fourth, or jumped into the abyss, no blame..."

This time, without waiting for the Holy Emperor to ask, Bu Li had already answered with his beard.

"The dragon jumps into the deep pool, advances and retreats with evidence, and dives with his heart, so there is no disaster..."

The Holy Emperor nodded slightly when he heard the words, this hexagram is not obscure, of course he knows the meaning it represents.

This shows that the Nine Princes are like Long Yueyuan, making a difference without disaster.

This is of course considered a good omen, but it did not satisfy the Tai Chi Sage Emperor.

"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand! The year is Jiazi, and the world will be blessed..."

The Holy Emperor kept pacing back and forth, muttering something.

Such a good hexagram image should only be in Rulong Yueyuan, is there no fault?

Just making a difference can make Huang Tian stand up, can the world be prosperous?

You need to know what is the meaning of auspiciousness in the world-it is equivalent to unifying the three kingdoms and finally becoming an emperor!

Now the three kingdoms stand together, Dagan, Daxing, and Dali proclaim themselves dynasties, and the supreme emperor of the Three Kingdoms calls himself the Holy Emperor, but no one is enough to be called emperor!

"Your Majesty, don't be impatient, Rong Chen will make another divination!"

As a close friend for many years, how could Bu Li not know what his old friend was thinking at this time?

But this time, he changed divination into divination, drilling and carving tortoise shells to show good or bad luck!

It should be noted that there are only three divinations, and this is the last chance for today!

"Crackling ~ crackling ~"

In the crackling tortoise shell, the Holy Emperor and the Imperial Master waited with bated breath, waiting for the cracks that symbolized good and bad luck to appear...

After a long time, the fire gradually subsided, and Bu Li turned off the fire to take the armor with a solemn expression, and then the two rushed forward impatiently, but they were shocked on the spot!

——On the cracked tortoise shell, there are crooked, crooked, crooked, scattered and disorderly cracks combined, which faintly form the word "Emperor"! !

The Holy Emperor and Bu Li immediately looked at each other, their hearts vibrated, and they were speechless for a long time...

……

"Audience friends, welcome to "Hundred Schools Forum", I am your old friend - Yi Shangtian!

Today I’m going to talk about creating the Dagan Empire, which has been passed down for nearly a thousand years, and the first emperor in Chinese history to achieve great unification—Qianshihuang Zhao Zheng!

It is said that the first emperor Zhao Zheng, when he was just born, was filled with purple air, and there was a divine pillar on his forehead, his eyes shot out, and the red light surrounded the room. The texture is for the word 'Emperor'!

Of course, we all know that this is a kind of mythical artistic processing described by later generations in order to praise the first emperor Zhao Zheng as the first emperor through the ages and his great achievements in realizing the great unification.

But what many people don't know is that the first emperor did have the blessing of destiny, and finally he was able to complete the first real unification in history, and thoroughly laid the foundation of Qian culture and Chinese civilization.

So what evidence is there to prove it? Please take a look... The picture shown in the picture is the ancient and rare armor that is collected in the Palace Museum and can be called the treasure of the town - the Emperor Shihuang's armor!

Take a closer look, everyone, despite the baptism of thousands of years of history, did the irregular cracks on the first emperor's armor vaguely form the word "Emperor"?

You must know that this is not processed by anyone the day after tomorrow, but when Qianshi Huang was born, Bu Li, the great master of the country at that time, used the technique of divination to burn the tortoise shell and finally got it from God!

This piece of Shihuang A was enshrined in the ancestral temple after Emperor Qianshi officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Every Emperor Qian must go to pay homage when he ascends the throne. This is a sacred thing that symbolizes the destiny of the Daqian Empire!

The importance of this ancient armor is even more important than the Jade Seal of the Chuanguo. In the end, when Daqian lasted until its demise in 99, Zhao Bao, the political ancestor who destroyed Daqian, in order to prove his destiny, They didn't dare to mess up the name of the country, but took the name of the country after Qian Shihuang, called themselves the Dazheng Empire, and pretended to be the person who supported the country in the night dream of Qian Shihuang.

Moreover, the reason why Zhao Bao was able to successfully usurp Qian is also because he and Emperor Qianshi both had the surname Zhao, and he obtained Emperor Shihuang A in advance, so that he was able to get the support of the people of the world. huge influence!

And after Zhao Bao proclaimed himself emperor, he also enshrined Shihuang A, who symbolized the destiny of heaven, in the ancestral temple, and very schemingly buried Shihuang A as a companion after his death, fearing that others would succeed in usurping the throne.

But not long after his death, the country was immediately destroyed in the hands of his son. Later generations robbed the tomb to find Emperor A, but found that Zhao Bao's tomb was a fake tomb, and the real tomb disappeared!

Since then, Emperor Shihuangjia has become a symbol of the destiny, and the emperors of all dynasties want to find Emperor Jia to prove their destiny, but no one can find it!

It was not until Zhao Bao’s real tomb was discovered before the founding of the People’s Republic of China that Emperor Shi Huang A was finally seen again, and now it is collected as an epic national treasure in the Palace Museum..."
