Chapter 255

One of Mr. Mo's two disciples seems to be from Chu State, but Wei Zhi has never seen him before. He only knows his name, but doesn't know who he is.

Xu Guidao: "Wei Zhi, didn't your family come to pick you up?"

Wei Zhi said: "No."

Xu Gui asked: "Will they forget you?"

Wei Zhi sweatdropped from the back of his head and said, "Probably, no."

"What if they forget Wei Zhi?" Xu Gui said.

Wei Zhi said: "No matter what, I'll pretend to forget about them."

System 6 drops of sweat.

Xu Guidao: "If they really forget about Wei Zhi, then Wei Zhi will come back here, okay? From now on, my father will be Wei Zhi's father, and my mother will also be Wei Zhi's mother. My father always hopes that you can come back and take over the Qingfeng Inn , and then marry me."

The corner of Wei Zhi's mouth twitched, and he looked at Shopkeeper Xu who was talking to Bronze expressionlessly, not knowing what to say.

Xu Guidao: "Wei Zhi? Why don't you speak?"

Wei Zhi said, "Let's eat."

Xu Gui said: "Okay."

After eating, Xu Gui said, "Wei Zhi, read a book!"

Wei Zhi asked, "Why don't you let Shopkeeper Xu read it to you?"

Xu Guidao: "My father is busy at the inn, so he has no time to study, and Hulu is not very literate. When Wei Zhi came back, Wei Zhi could read all kinds of characters."

Wei Zhi sighed, took the book, and said, "Then read it for a while."

Xu Gui nodded and said, "Okay!"

Wei Zhi looked at it, turned a page and said, "Emperor Yao, that's Fang Xun."

After hearing this, Xu Gui asked, "Who is Emperor Yao? Who is Fang Xun?"

Wei Zhi sweatdropped from the back of his head and said, "Emperor Yao is a man of honor."

Xu Gui understood, and asked, "Who is Fang Xun?"

Wei Zhidao: "Fangxun is one of the Five Emperors."

Xu Guidao: "What are the Five Emperors?"

Wei Zhi said: "The five emperors are Emperor Xuanyuan, Zhuanxu, Di Ku, Yao, and Shun."

Xu Gui said, "I heard my mother talk about Yao and Shun!"

Wei Zhi said: "Fangxun is Emperor Yao."

Xu Guidao: "It turns out that Fang Xun is Yao!"

Wei Zhi nodded and continued: "He is as benevolent as the sky and as wise as a god. Approaching him is like the sun that warms people's hearts. Looking up at him is like clouds covering the earth."

"He is rich but not proud, noble but not arrogant. He wears a hat, black clothes, and drives a white horse."

When Xu Gui heard this, he asked, "Is Emperor Yao a god?"

Wei Zhi said: "Yes and no."

Xu Guidao: "What does yes and no mean?"

Wei Zhi said: "Some people say that Emperor Yao is a god, while others say that Emperor Yao is not a god."

Xu Guidao: "I understand."

Wei Zhi went on to say: "He can respect people with good virtues and make the nine generations of the same clan harmonious. Now that the people of the same clan are in harmony, they go to inspect the officials. The achievements of the officials are notable, and the princes and states of all parties can live in harmony."

"Emperor Yao ordered the Xi family and the He family to follow the will of heaven, draw up a calendar based on the appearance and appearance of the sun and the moon, and the position of the stars, and carefully teach the people the time and order of the fields."

"I also ordered Xizhong to live in Yuyi, that place is called Yanggu, to greet the sunrise respectfully, and to arrange the spring farming step by step. On the vernal equinox, the day is as long as the night. It is due to the south, and according to this, we can determine the time of mid-spring, when the people disperse and work."

Xu Guidao: "Di Yao means, can you tell the time by looking at the stars?"

Wei Zhi said: "That's right."

Xu Guidao: "But I can see the stars, but I don't know how to count the time."

Wei Zhi said: "If you want to know, you can read more books."

Xu Gui nodded and said, "Okay."

Wei Zhi continued: "I also ordered Uncle Xi to live in Nanjiao, and arrange the summer farm work step by step. On the summer solstice, the day is the longest, and the heart of the Canglong Qisu will appear in the south when it is first fainted. According to this, the midsummer will be determined." At that time, at this time, the people will be on high."

"I also ordered Hezhong to live in Xitu, that place is called Shibuya, respectfully send the sun down, and arrange the autumn harvest step by step."

"On the autumnal equinox, the night is as long as the day. Among the Xuanwu seven constellations, the virtual constellation appears in the south at the first dusk. Based on this, the time of mid-autumn is determined. At this time, the people move to the plains."

"I also ordered Uncle He to live in the north, which is called Youdu, and carefully arrange the winter collection. On the winter solstice, the day is the shortest, and the Pleiades of the white tiger seven constellations appear in the south when they first faint. Based on this, the midwinter date is determined. At this time, the people enter the house to keep warm, there are 360 ​​six days in a year, and the method of setting the leap month is used to correct the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and Emperor Yao sincerely warns all officials to keep their duties."

Xu Guidao: "You can know spring, summer, autumn and winter by looking at the stars, but don't you know if you don't look at the stars?"

Wei Zhi said: "Of course not."

Xu Gui said: "That's good."

Wei Zhi said: "At this time, Yao was already old, and he asked Shun to act as the emperor's political affairs, so as to see whether he was the emperor in accordance with the will of heaven."

"Shun then observed the Big Dipper to see if there was any abnormality in the movements of the sun, moon, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and then held a temporary ceremony to worship God, and sacrificed to heaven and earth with a ceremony of burning sacrifices on fire. At four o'clock, the rituals of distant sacrifices are used to worship famous mountains and rivers, and various gods are generally worshiped."

Xu Gui heard this and said, "Yao and Shun? Is Yao Shun's father?"

Wei Zhi shook his head and said, "No."

Xu Guidao: "Then who is Shun's father?"

Wei Zhi said: "It is said that Shun's father is Gusou."

Xu Gui said, "Did Yao not have a son?"

Wei Zhi said: "It should be."

Xu Gui said: "That's the same as my father."

Wei Zhi dripped sweat from the back of his head, and continued: "Shun collected five kinds of jade talismans, namely Huangui, Xingui, Gonggui, Gubi, and Pubi, which were held by the five marquises of the Duke's uncle, and chose a good month and auspicious day to summon the four mountains. In February, Shun went to the east to inspect, and when he arrived at Mount Tai, he used the ceremony of burning firewood to sacrifice to Dongyue, and used the ceremony of remote sacrifice to worship the famous mountains and rivers in various places."

"Then, Shun summoned the princes of the East to coordinate and correct the four seasons, the size of the moon, the first and second days of the sun, the unified rhythm and the standard of length, capacity, and weight, and the five etiquettes of auspicious, fierce, guest, army, and fine. The feudal lords use five kinds of guibi, three kinds of colored silk, the high officials use lambs, wild geese, two kinds of animals, and the scholars use dead pheasants as presents at the court meeting, and the five kinds of guibi will be returned to the princes after the ceremony is over."

"Shun inspects the south in May, the west in August, and the north in November."

"After returning, Shun told the ancestors' and fathers' temples to sacrifice a cow, and made inspections every five years. During the four years, the princes and kings came to the capital on time."

"Shun generally explained the principles of governing the country to the princes, made clear inspections according to political achievements, and gave horses and chariots clothes according to their merits. Shun began to divide the world into twelve states and dredge the rivers.

Xu Gui said: "At that time there was only one emperor?"

Wei Zhi said: "That's right."

Xu Guidao: "Why are there so many emperors now? Are all these emperors descendants of Shun?"

Wei Zhi said: "I don't know this either."

Xu Guidao: "Doesn't Wei Zhi also know?"

Wei Zhidao said: "Shun is a native of Jizhou. He farmed in Lishan, fished in Leize, made pottery on the bank of the Yellow River, did various household chores in Shouqiu, and did business in Fuxia. Shun's His father Gusou was foolish, his mother was stubborn, and his brother Xiang was unruly. They all wanted to kill Shun, but Shun behaved obediently and never violated the rules of a son. He loved his brothers and was filial to his parents. When they wanted to kill him, they I couldn’t find him, but when I needed to find him, he was always there to wait on me.”

Hearing Wei Zhi's words, Xu Gui seemed stunned: "Why did Shun's parents want to kill Shun?"

Wei Zhi said: "It should be that Shun is redundant."

Xu Gui didn't understand and said: "Superfluous? But they only have two sons, how can they be superfluous?"

Wei Zhi said: "Then only Shun's parents will know."

Xu Guidao: "Why doesn't Shun leave?"

Wei Zhi said, "Only Shun knows about this."

Xu Gui frowned.

Wei Zhi looked at the book and continued: "When Shun was 20 years old, he was famous for his filial piety. My daughter married Shun to observe his conduct at home, and let my nine sons work with him to observe his conduct outside."

Hearing this, Xu Gui said, "Yao has two daughters and nine sons?"

Wei Zhi looked at the book and said, "This is what it says in the book."

Xu Gui said: "Yao had a son, why did he choose Shun to take his place?"

Wei Zhi said: "At that time, there was no such etiquette."

Xu Gui nodded.

Wei Zhidao: "Shun lives on the bank of the Gui River, and he is more cautious in his affairs at home. Yao's two daughters dare not treat Shun's relatives arrogantly just because they are of noble birth, and they are very particular about how to be a wife."

"Yao's nine sons were also more faithful and loyal. When Shun farmed in Lishan, the people in Lishan gave way to each other. When they fished in Lei Ze, the men in Lei Ze gave way to fishing. On the banks of the Yellow River While making pottery, there will be no defective products at all.”

"In one year, the place where Shun lived became a village, in two years it became a small town, and in three years it became a large town. After seeing these, Yao gave Shun a set of fine Gebu clothes. Give him a lyre, build him a storehouse, and give him cattle and sheep."

"But Gusou still wanted to kill Shun, so he asked Shun to go up to repair the barn with earth. Gusou set fire to it, but Shun protected himself with two bamboo hats, jumped down as if he had grown wings, and escaped, so he survived."

"Later Gusou asked Shun to dig a well. When Shun was digging the well, he dug a road in the side wall to the outside. Gusou and Xiang poured earth down to fill the well. Shun went out through the side road and ran away again. gone."

"Gusou and Xiang were very happy, thinking that Shun was dead. Xiang said that he was the one who came up with the idea in the first place. Xiang and his parents shared Shun's property. They said that Shun had married Yao's two daughters and that Yao had given them gifts The qin given to him is his own, and the cattle, sheep and barn belong to his parents."

"Xiang then lived in Shun's house and played Shun's qin. When Shun came back to visit him, Xiang was very surprised, and then put on a sullen look, saying that I was missing you, and Shun said that you are really a brother. "

After reading this, Wei Zhi sweated on the back of his head and said: "Shun still treats his parents as before, loves his brothers, and is more respectful. In this way, Yao tried to use Shun to straighten out the five ethics and morals and participate in the affairs of hundreds of officials. well-done."

Xu Gui said, "Isn't Shun angry?"

Wei Zhi said: "Probably not."

Xu Guidao: "Why?"

Wei Zhi said, "I want to know too."

Xu Gui said: "Shun's parents and brothers are not good people."

Wei Zhi said: "That's right."

After finishing speaking, Wei Zhi continued to read: "Shun was famous for his filial piety when he was 20 years old. He was promoted by Yao when he was 30 years old. He acted as the emperor's government affairs at the age of 50. Yao died at the age of 58. He succeeded Yao and ascended the throne of emperor at the age of 61. In the 39th year after he ascended the throne, he visited the south, died in Cangwu, and was buried in Jiuyi Mountain on the south bank of the Yangtze River."

"After Shun came to the throne, he rode in a chariot bearing the emperor's banner to pay his respects to his father, Gusou. He was courteous and courteous, and he followed the filial piety of a son. He also made his younger brother Xiang a feudal lord."

"Shun's son Shangjun was not successful, so Shun recommended Yu to heaven in advance. Seventeen years later, when Shun passed away, after three years of mourning, Yu also gave up the throne to Shun's son, just like when Shun gave up the throne to Yao's son. In the same way, the feudal lords surrendered to Yu, and in this way, Yu ascended to the throne of the Son of Heaven."

"Danzhu, the son of Yao, and Shangjun, the son of Shun, were given fiefdoms in Tang and Yu respectively to worship their ancestors. Yu also made them wear their own family's clothes and perform their own family's rites and ceremonies. They paid homage to the Son of Heaven as guests. The Son of Heaven does not treat them as ministers, to show that he does not dare to monopolize the throne."

After reading this, Wei Zhi said: "I've finished reading."

Xu Gui said, "Isn't Shun's brother dead?"

Wei Zhi said: "No."

Xu Gui sighed and said, "Did Yao die at the age of 58?"

Wei Zhi said, "Yes."

Xu Guidao: "Will Yao still be a god?"

Wei Zhi said, "That's right."

Xu Guidao: "Wei Zhi! There is another book!"

Wei Zhi said, "We're leaving tomorrow."

Xu Gui was stunned, and said, "Tomorrow?"

Wei Zhi said, "Yes."

Xu Guidao: "Shouldn't you stay in Qingyun for a few days?"

Wei Zhi said, "No."

The next day, Wei Zhi and Bronze left Qingfeng Inn, Qingyun City, and headed towards Yan Country.

After walking for a month, they finally arrived at the capital of Yan State. When they arrived at the capital of Yan State, Bronze said to Wei Zhi, "Aren't you going to visit the palace?"

Wei Zhi said, "No."

Bronze asked Wei Zhi to stay in the inn, and then left by himself, saying that he would leave for ten days, and told Wei Zhi to be careful. If there was anything wrong, he told the innkeeper that the innkeeper was from the Baili family.

Wei Zhi responded, and then heard the system 6 beeping: [Host boss, new mission: return to Yan Kingdom Palace. 】

Hearing this, Wei Zhi was stunned for a moment: "What?"

System 6: [The boss of the host has points. 】

Wei Zhi stopped talking and prepared to return to the Yan Palace.

Bronze left the inn, saying that he would be back in ten days, Wei Zhi talked to the innkeeper, then left the inn and walked towards the palace gate.

The original owner still remembered the road to the Palace of Yan, and Wei Zhi easily arrived at the gate of the Palace of Yan, but.

"who are you!"

The imperial guards in front of the palace gate stared at Wei Zhi with their swords in their hands. The back of Wei Zhi's head was dripping with sweat. He didn't know what to say. He didn't seem to have a jade pendant to prove that he was Wei Zhi.

How can this be good?

Wei Zhi smiled and looked at the Forbidden Army and said, "I'm Wei Zhi."

Hearing Wei Zhi's words, the man asked, "Who is Wei Zhi?"

Wei Zhi was silent.

who am I?
System 6 drops of sweat.

Wei Zhi said: "You don't know who Wei Zhi is? Are you new here? Have you never heard of Wei Zhi's name? The emperor of Yan's nephew is Wei Zhi, so do you understand something?"
