back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 243 Money Hexagram

Looking at the tortoise shell with a metallic luster on its surface, Lu Chengqi was stunned, and said in astonishment: "Chen Qing, this is it?"

It's no wonder that Lu Chengqi didn't know, it was because of his lack of experience.In fact, in the old TV series "Fengshen Bang", Wen Wang Jichang also used turtle shells when he deduced the 64 hexagrams.However, this guy Lu Chengqi always only followed the plot when he watched TV, how did he notice the things about dynasties in the TV series?This is also to blame for those TV dramas of the Celestial Dynasty, all kinds of bugs, all kinds of goofy scenes, which make people play in a second, and change things that no one has the patience to follow the details, right?

After developing this habit, even if I watch classic TV dramas, I never pay attention to the details of the set and other things in the plot, because if I want to study it carefully, I will definitely make myself half dead, and the more I complain, the more people watch it.The Celestial Dynasty is such a magical place that cannot be measured with common sense.

Chen Xun really wants to ask, did you grow up in Dashun?As the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty, you actually told me that you don't know what this is?
If Chen Xun's complaints were spoken out, maybe Lu Chengqi would really believe it.How can you not be surprised to know that he is not from this era, Lu Chengqi!

Chen Xun's depression is depression. Since the little emperor has a problem, he still needs to solve his doubts: "Return to your majesty, this is the 64 hexagrams of King Wen. During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, Zhou Wen Wang Jichang was detained in Yili by King Zhou for seven years. Wang Jichang deduced the eight "three-painted hexagrams" drawn by Fuxi, and re-deduced Fuxi's "innate gossip", superimposed the "three-painted hexagrams" in pairs, and evolved them into "houtian gossip", and wrote a book "Zhou Ci", this is the predecessor of "Zhou Yi". Later, Confucius sages commented on "Zhou Ci", and wrote "Ten Wings", collectively known as "Zhou Yi". The Lianshan Yi and the Shang Dynasty's Guizang Yi have been lost for a long time."

Lu Chengqi suddenly realized after hearing the story of King Wen Jichang.He asked again: "I only heard that there are three copper coins for fortune-telling, why are there six at this time?"

This sentence just hit Chen Xun's itch, because only when Lu Chengqi is interested can he play with his talents!Hearing the words, he immediately said: "Three money fortune telling, although it has its shape, it is far from thousands of miles away! King Wen passed down 64 hexagrams, divided into outer eight hexagrams and inner eight hexagrams, eight eight hexagrams, exactly 64 hexagrams, corresponding to Qian, Kun, Tun, Meng, and so on. Need, Litigation, Teacher, Comparing, Small Animal, Lu, Tai, Negative, Companion, Dayou, Modesty, Hearing, Sui, Gu, Prompt, Observation, Chewing, Benediction, Peeling, Rehabilitation, No Arrogance, Big Animal, Yi ﹑Great Overcome﹑Hill﹑Li﹑Salty﹑Heng﹑Escape﹑Dazhuang﹑Jin﹑MingYi﹑Family﹑Sui﹑Jian﹑Solution﹑Loss﹑Benefit﹑Wu﹑﹑﹑﹑﹑Ascend﹑Trap﹑Well﹑Leather﹑Ding﹑ Zhen﹑Gen﹑Jian﹑Guimei﹑Feng﹑Lv﹑Sun﹑Dui﹑Huan﹑Jie﹑Zhongfu﹑Xiaoguo﹑JiJi﹑WaitJi﹑total 64 hexagrams.

Lu Chengqi was immediately taken aback by what he said.How can these "professional" terms be understood by those who have not read the book "Book of Changes"?It sounded muddled, that's all.

As a superior, you need to learn to listen and understand what the courtiers want to say before you can make a decision.Even if you are not a high-ranking person, it is also a kind of etiquette to listen to others.What's more, China has been a country of etiquette since ancient times, and it pays great attention to the word "ritual".So no matter how difficult or difficult what Chen Xun said, Lu Chengqi would not interrupt him, and let him finish.

After Chen Xun uttered the names of the 64 hexagrams in one breath, he also felt a little thirsty. He took a sip of the tea, and felt that the tribute tea was refreshing and lifted his spirits.

Lu Chengqi smiled wryly and said: "Since the hexagram 64 of King Wen is so powerful, I want to do a divination. Chen Qing, how do you divination this hexagram?" Holding the tortoise shell, Lu Chengqi looked at the copper coins poured out of it, and found that this It was just the copper coins from the founding of Dashun, he thought he would use the copper coins from the Zhou Dynasty!
Chen Xun said: "Your Majesty must put the copper coins in the turtle shell, hold it with one hand, seal it with one hand, shake it up and down for more than six times, put down the sealing hand, and then pour out the copper coins in the utensil one by one, and leave it to the minister to judge. That's fine."

After listening to it once, Lu Chengqi understood what to do.This is the same as asking for a lottery. Pay attention to sincerity and sincerity.I saw Lu Chengqi holding the seal of the tortoise shell and slowly shaking it six times. What he was thinking in his heart was, of course, whether he, as the Emperor of Dashun, was in danger or in good fortune.

After six times, Lu Chengqi gently poured out the copper coins inside the tortoise shell, and asked Chen Xun to check it out.After Chen Xun saw the hexagram, he knew it clearly.He still asked, "I don't know what your Majesty wants to know?"

Lu Chengqi smiled mysteriously, and said: "Chen Qing only needs to interpret the hexagrams, why should I care what the divination is about!"

At this time, there is the meaning of comparing Chen Xun.When Chen Xun heard this, he immediately concentrated his mind.There are only so many hexagrams, and he has already understood the 64 hexagrams, but how to say it to Lu Chengqi depends on his language skills.Many so-called "feng shui masters" speak ambiguously, that's all.If he talks too much and the hexagrams are inaccurate, it means that his "professional skills" are not strong enough.To ordinary people, Chen Xun has his own far-fetched explanations, but what he is facing is the king of a country, how can he live up to his words, isn't that the crime of deceiving the king!
The cold sweat on the back of his head was pouring down, and Chen Xun knew how to say it after his brain turned sharply: "The hexagrams predicted by your majesty are from the upper Kun and the lower stems, corresponding to the hexagrams of Tiantai and Tai. The Tai hexagrams, the air of the earth intersects. , From small to big. Tai means to be safe and prosperous, Tongtai, stable, profitable, grand, and everything is auspicious. But we must keep in mind, 'everywhere, difficult to keep upright, despise and follow the virtuous'. Hexagram Judging from the appearance, there are many sages who help each other, and the wives are virtuous and the sons are filial."

In fact, Chen Xun only said half of what he said.In general, the hexagrams are correct, but there are often dangers hidden in the auspicious hexagrams.The so-called "do everything, keep upright with difficulty", is exactly what it says.It proves that Lu Chengqi's road to go is still very bumpy.

Lu Chengqi laughed, and put this matter behind him.If you have to rely on divination every time you do things, then so many political affairs, don't you spend every day in divination?He didn't have this kind of idleness, he just wanted to do divination for Da Shun and the Han dynasty on a whim.I thought, even if it is a medium hexagram, it will be fine.I didn't expect it to be a good luck, it was a bit unexpected.

Lu Chengqi, who was in a rather comfortable mood, smiled heartily and said, "Chen Qing solved the hexagrams well, I am very happy. Come here, go to the inner treasury to get ten gold, and give it to Chen Qing!"

After Chen Xun pretended to refuse, he accepted it.Out of the Chuigong Hall, Chen Xun said in his heart: "Shanghao, the little emperor is not deeply involved in the world, and he doesn't understand the "Book of Changes", otherwise this matter will be a disaster! But the hexagram is really strange, and the little emperor is obviously not doing it for it. There must be something else about the Tao, could it be..." Thinking of this, Chen Xun didn't dare to guess any more, if the little emperor remembered his "achievements" when the country was in trouble, he might be blamed...
