History of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 54 Shun River
"These bright spots are the recognition of the country, but unfortunately, this is the recognition of the Yue Kingdom. If Situ serves as an official in the Yue Kingdom, he must have made great achievements." At this point, Sergeant Fan looked gloomy and shook his head: "It's not like me. This place is depressing and inactive…”

"Situ is indeed a genius, but Yu Ke cannot write this "Ode to Dayu" in the hall, arouse the image of Emperor Yu, and still be recognized by the people of Yue, which is expected to be a national treasure."

A rare treasure of national destiny…

Serving as an official in Vietnam...

Feng Yun shook his head and said: "Dayu controlled the floods, the tripod controlled the nine states, and returned to the world. This country of Yue is just one of them. How can I stay here just because a country has a rare treasure?"

After finishing speaking, he stood up immediately. He had already read all the "Book of Changes" of the Yue Kingdom, but now he went to get the "Mountains and Seas" in the big wooden box.

Sergeant Fan frowned slightly.

"Situ, although this "Mountains and Seas" is fantastic, mysterious, and very interesting, you still need to be careful of the absurd meaning in it, so as not to make you crazy."

When did the countries on these maps really exist in various parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty? Even if there are similar beasts, few people believe in the many myths and legends.

Feng Yun just smiled at this.

Others don't know it, but he comes from a later generation and naturally knows something about "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". He does not think that the "Shan Hai Tu", the predecessor of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", is really an absurd picture.

It would be strange if a book could be passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States, when Emperor Qin Shihuang burned books, to modern times. It would be a truly absurd thing.

Opening the scrolls, Feng Yun took out a roll of blank silk cloth from one side.

Draw a picture on it according to the scroll, and then write under it - "The Great Wilderness Eastern Scripture": There is a country of Qingqiu, and there is a fox with nine tails.

By doing this, Feng Yun found another picture scroll, which was also a Qingqiu fox. There was also a Chaoyang Valley, and the Qingqiu Kingdom was to the north of it - "Haiwai Dongjing": Qingqiu Kingdom was to the north of Chaoyang, and its foxes were four. Nine tails.

"Why do these two scrolls mean that one is the Great Wilderness and the other is overseas...but they are both east longitudes."

The country of Qingqiu is located to the north of Chaoyang Valley.

Feng Yun tried to use a blank roll of silk cloth to group the two places together. Then he thought about it and drew a line in it to mark the wilderness and overseas.

In this way, Feng Yun successively recorded and annotated the "Mountains and Seas" in the box one by one in an attempt to piece it together.

After that, he wrote down the legend about the nine-tailed fox that he knew.

"Di Yu married a nine-tailed white fox on Mount Tu, and she became his wife, a famous girl..."

While writing, an illusory shadow of a white fox condensed from the literary aura emanating from Feng Yun, sleeping lightly in the inner room.

Sergeant Fan just felt incredible.

"Do you really want to use this "Mountain and Sea Map" to become a Taoist?"

After Feng Yun finished writing, he picked up the "Mountains and Seas" about Dayu for input.

There are many records about Dayu.

There are records in "Zhongshan", "Overseas", "Hai Nei", and "Great Wilderness". It can be seen that Dayu went to many places, and he is worthy of being the one who delimited the nine states.

By doing this, Feng Yun never left even late at night, completely immersed in the painting of mountains and seas.

"Situ, please rest." Sergeant Fan yawned, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I can't rest anymore. I won't be able to read this book tomorrow." Feng Yun never raised his head and continued to draw and record under the oil lamp.

"How do you say that?" Sergeant Fan was puzzled.

But coincidentally, there was a thunder outside the door and heavy rain came again.

A rare treasure of national destiny!

Nowadays, the country of Yue is in short supply and floods are rampant, and Feng Yun has created a rare treasure that is closely related to the country of Yue. Unless the king of Yue has a disease in his mind, it is impossible not to ask Feng Yun to control the floods.

Sergeant Fan thought clearly, then picked the wick of the oil lamp and added some lamp oil.

"Then today I will accompany Situ to read books all night long."

As he spoke, he found another book and read it carefully.

……

The next day, the hour.

Overnight, Feng Yun's reputation soared. Even though the floods remained, the role of "Dayu Fu" was still prominent.

"If Lord Feng comes, the flood problem will definitely be solved!"

For a time, the voice became louder and louder.

Gradually, it also reached Yuejun's ears.

At the same time, remarks about the immorality of Yuejun also followed.

Yue Jun was furious in Yue Bo Palace.

"Regardless of the fact that our Yue country is a descendant of Dayu, you scholar-bureaucrats are helpless to deal with a small flood!" Yuejun angrily slapped the desk in front of him and looked down. There were only a few scholar-bureaucrats left who were in charge of logistics or decision-making. : "Quickly push down the flood."

Immediately, he looked at Dabu. He knew clearly that Dabu was a Qi refiner and thought he had a method.

But Yue Jun stopped talking.

Compared to Feng Yun's reputation, he was more afraid of Divination.

Dabu also knew this. He and Yuejun just had an appointment with each other to plan the river plan together.

Therefore, he was not prepared to take action during this flood.

"Dabu, how's the sacrifice going?" Yuejun didn't talk about the flood, only about the sacrifice.

Hearing this, Dabu spoke up.

"Your Majesty, the sacrifices are ready, but these days are not good days, so we still have to wait."

He added: "The great witch god please speak. He wants to take the witches from the witch to various places in the country of Yue to perform small sacrifices to Yu to suppress the floods. I also ask for your approval."

"The Great Witch God?"

Witches are people who channel gods and worship ancestors in the Yue Kingdom. In the Yue Kingdom, everyone from the Yue monarch to the common people can perform sacrifices. The king's big sacrifices and the people's small sacrifices all need the help of witches.

The witches live in the witch li and are led by the great witch god. They are also divided into great witches and small witches. The great witch god has a high status, and even the king of Yue dare not disrespect him.

"Since the Great Witch God has this intention, I will allow it."

The Great Witch God will not do anything in court, even if he is famous, he will be fine, which makes Yue Jun feel relieved.

Then the big divination said: "The great wizard wants to invite the great court Situ to participate in the water control..."

"What!" Yue Jun glared.

"A large family of people..."

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to say." Before the Lord of Yue could finish his words, the chief minister of the Yue Kingdom gave a slight salute and then said: "The people of Yue all pray to the "Fu of Dayu" because it can help control floods. "

"And shamans also use this as the song of witch dance. It can be seen that "Dayu Fu" is in harmony with the Yue Kingdom. I am afraid... in a few days, the "Dayu Fu" in the hands of Da Ting Situ will become a national treasure."

"If it becomes a national treasure, it will definitely be of great benefit to flood control!"

Flood control is important, but the Yue Kingdom has achieved great national fortune. If the Yue people are from the Yue Kingdom, they have nothing to say. But Feng Yun is a member of the Great Court, how can this be done?

Dazai thought that his hint was sufficient, and then fell silent.

Yue Jun pondered, while some of the scholar-bureaucrats below looked around and talked in low voices, all because of Feng Yun.

Some people say that they can kill to seize the treasure, while others say that envoys cannot be killed.

"Da da da!" At this moment, Sima Yue rushed over quickly.

"Report, Your Majesty!"

"There is a flood of water in the upper reaches of the Shun River, and now the river bank will collapse!" Sima of the Yue Kingdom was in a mess, covered with mud, but his eyes were red and shocking.

"How could the embankment of the upper reaches of Shun River collapse?" Yue Jun was startled.

"Upstream?" The sergeant-official's back felt cold and he was panicking.

The embankment in the upper reaches of the Shun River was built during the reign of Emperor Yu. If it collapses, Kuaiji downstream may be flooded.

As an important place in the Yue Kingdom, it has been heavily guarded for many years and reinforced every year. How could it collapse?

If it were normal times, that would be fine, but now it happens to be a flood.

"We must not collapse!"

"Gather slaves, recruit troops and common people, and give them to me. If the river embankment breaks down, the common people will be demoted to slaves, and the slaves will be punished with five punishments and killed!"

The king of Yue was furious, and the fortune teller also frowned.

The Shun River must not collapse, otherwise the Yue Kingdom will be in chaos.

This doesn't do him any good.

But he knew that the Yuejun was afraid of him, so he immediately said: "Why not ask the great court Situ to help him? I can promise you benefits after I Yueguo."

Hearing the sound, Yue Jun snorted coldly.

"I am in charge of national affairs, why do I need outsiders to help me!" Yuejun stared at the divination, and the meaning was self-evident.

"If the upper reaches of the Shun River collapses, then open side branches and block the main vein to divert the flood!"

There is another pass below the upper reaches of the Shun River. This pass is a relief pass. If the Yue State encounters a drought year, this pass can be opened. After opening the upstream embankment, water can be diverted to other places in the Yue State to survive the drought.
