History of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 77 The new king of the court (please order first)

Although Da Ting was a kingdom under the rule of the Zhou Dynasty, its foundation was always the Da Ting clan. The glory of its clan was much more important than etiquette.

"Then..." Zong Bo said slowly, "Then if it succeeds, who are you going to make the new king of the Great Court and lead the Great Court back to its old place?"

"...Fengjun."

Uncle Zong was not surprised, he was just making sure.

"But Feng Yun is a concubine..."

Dazai smiled.

"Uncle Zong, do you really respect Zhou's rites? If you respect Zhou's rites, why would our court choose a land close to Dongyi as a new country?"

Uncle Zong was dejected.

Dazai wanted him to give up the literary tradition he had adhered to all his life.

"That's all... the country of Da Ting is not a country, but the Da Ting family. It is a family."

Dading originated in the ancient times during the reign of Fu Xi, flourished during the reign of Shennong, and declined during the reign of Xia Yu. It was not until the destruction of the Shang Dynasty in the Western Zhou Dynasty that a new country, the Dading Kingdom, was re-established.

But the things of our ancestors will never be forgotten.

Uncle Zong asked the last question: "If it fails, what will happen to the rest of the clan, and what will happen to the common people and soldiers in the court?"

Dazai was indifferent and said bluntly: "If you get the Hetu, even if only one person is left, you can take the Hetu to the old country of Dating and gather in the ancient Dating!"

"If we can restore the ancient country of Da Ting, it won't matter if we die, nor will the people of Da Ting die!"

……

The next day.

"Fengjun, the sacrifice is about to start, I will change the bedding clothes for you."

In the courtyard of the Palace of Classics, Dazai stretched out his hand to hold up a tray, on which was spread an extremely gorgeous bean robe.

But Feng Yun was holding a branch as a sword and ignored it while practicing the sword.

And Dazai stopped urging.

After a while, Feng Yun stopped and inserted the branch into the soil.

"Weiji hexagram." "Weiji" means that everything is incomplete and lacking, which is regarded as a small omen of misfortune, but there is auspiciousness hidden in this misfortune.

As the understanding of Weiji Gua deepens, Feng Yun can also do the opposite, and those whose future is determined can find a chance.

Then it became Weiji Gua - the art of inexhaustible things.

Things cannot be exhausted, and the matter is not over yet.

"Weiji Gua..." Dazai looked at the branch inserted in the soil. There was a faint vitality floating on it. As expected, it will become a tree when the flowers bloom next spring.

"Fengjun's unexpected trick has brought the trees back to life. It's really an eye-opener."

Da Zai loves "The Book of Changes", but unfortunately he does not have Feng Yun's talent. Even if all "The Book of Changes" were thrown into his hands, he might not be able to achieve enlightenment.

Feng Yun said: "I don't know what the rules are for today's sacrifice."

Feng Yun didn't know why the chief didn't send the instructions for the sacrifice in advance.

"Master Feng only needs to kill the snake demon, dig out the snake's heart, and pay homage to Young Master Lie. I will arrange the rest of the chores."

"Snake demon?" Feng Yun frowned and looked directly at Da Zai.

"Fengjun...she is now a snake demon. She has been sealed in the palace for a hundred years. Death is her release. If you don't believe it, ask her."

"Let's go." Feng Yun took the tray from Dazai's hand.

Then he went to the side hall to change clothes, but there was no need for the broken-arm Dazai.

After coming out, Feng Yun said: "Uncle Su, are you willing to fight this time?"

Dazai smiled but didn't answer.

Feng Yun knew that this court was actually controlled by Da Zai, Zong Bo, and Sima. Without their support, it would be difficult to implement Su Bo's words.

"Fengjun, in fact, you still have Da Ting in your heart, otherwise you wouldn't ask about Uncle Su."

Feng Yun smiled hoarsely.

"Even if I leave Da Ting, I will never forget Da Ting. Although I will not praise Da Ting, I will not belittle it. If Da Ting dies, I will become a countryless man... I hope Da Ting can keep Da Ting."

"The Dongyi people of the Yue Kingdom will not be bound by the Rites of Zhou."

Dazai smiled and said: "The Great Court has a long history, even more so than the Yue Kingdom, so it has its own background."

"I have been forbearing for a few times now, but I am just waiting for the opportunity. The Qi Refiner's plan is in Da Ting. Da Ting has no way to retreat this time, so we can only give it a try."

Feng Yun suddenly realized that the Qi Refiner and Yuejun were building a Qi Luck Platform, and what they wanted was in the big court.No wonder, he had known about Dazai's layout for a long time.

It's a pity that if Dazai had told him at the beginning, he might have forgiven him, but he was treated as a pawn by Dazai. After this, Feng Yun's heart was calm.

At this time, Dazai waved back the surrounding armored guards.

"Feng Yun doesn't want to know how I can resist the Yue Kingdom?"

Before Feng Yun could say anything, Dazai told the truth: "I want to lure the Yue army into the city and use Da Ting's background to suppress the killing. The Yue country's dream of Da Ting country will only be a fantasy."

Feng Yun smiled, not entirely believing it.

If Da Ting really has this background, how can it be a small country?

Dazai stopped talking, and then the two of them left the Palace of Classics.

Outside the palace, an empty carriage was parked, guarded by armored soldiers.

There is a canopy on it, and the frame is decorated with precious jade and beautiful stones, making it look gorgeous and noble.

But there is no horse in front of it, which makes people doubtful.

"Master Feng, please get in the car, I will help you."

Dazai pulling a cart?

Feng Yun heard the sound, stepped forward, and looked at Da Zai.

Dazai's expression remained normal. After dropping the wooden crutch, he broke off his arm and pulled it back.

I don't know where he got the strength, but he slowly pulled the frame.

step…

two steps...

The armored soldiers and guards around him didn't dare to look, and silently followed behind the carriage.

After five steps, Feng Yun frowned and said, "Da Zai pauses."

Hearing the sound, he stopped the car and Dazai said, "Mr. Feng, you still have something to do."

Feng Yun didn't know what to say, but the chief minister of a country pulled the cart for him.

Looking at Dazai's white-haired appearance, getting up with a broken arm, Feng Yun said to himself that if someone made him like this, how could he pull a cart? Even if he saw him, he would be facing life and death.

"Da Zai, you don't like Zhou Li either, do you?" Feng Yun said after a long time.

Da Zai didn't smile, his voice was like a social interaction in autumn and winter, entering the dead silence, but his words seemed to be speaking from the bottom of his heart.

"I love "The Book of Changes" very much, but "The Book of Changes" is hard to come by. Only "The Rites of Zhou" has some future."

Feng Yun was silent and slowly got out of the car.

"Just five steps. The grudge between Dazai and me is over."

Dazai was surprised and turned to shake his head, as if sighing.

"I see that Mr. Feng has not forgotten what happened to Mr. Lie. After the sacrifice, Mr. Feng can kill me as a sacrifice to Mr. Lie."

Killing... At this time, killing may be more uncomfortable than death.

The fact that he can pull a cart with a broken arm should be due to the evil power in his body.

And to bear the power of evil spirits is to suffer every moment.

As for Gongzi Lie, Feng Yun guessed that Yue Jun found out that they were working together to help each other. He killed Gongzi Lie and used this as an excuse to attack the court to avoid disaster caused by sharing the same strategy.

"Young Master Lie Chicheng respects his master to the extreme. He will never assassinate the King of Yue before I arrive in front of the court. His death is the plan of the King of Yue."

After saying that, Feng Yun walked towards the altar.

The altar is not far outside the Grand Palace. It can be seen from the view, so there is no need for a car to come.

When Feng Yun walked away, Dazai closed his eyes and whispered: "Feng Jun does not have the image of a monarch for the time being. He is mostly a knight-errant and a gentleman."

"Alas, he is still young and has never been exposed to the position of king. I hope that after getting the Hetu, his heart will change."

It turns out that Dazai pulled the cart just to test Feng Yun's nature.

Although he disparaged it with his mouth, Dazai's eyes were filled with admiration.

Once upon a time, Dazai was also a young man like this. He was high-spirited and had a hard time loving Zhou Li. He did many righteous and good deeds.
