Ding, the cooking vessel, but since Xia Yu collected the gold of Jiumu to cast Jiuding under Jingshan, in order to symbolize Kyushu, Ding has risen from the general cooking utensils to the country's heavy weapons.
When the country is destroyed, Ding moves, the Xia Dynasty is destroyed, the Shang Dynasty is prosperous, and Jiuding is moved to Bojing, the capital of Shang; The Shang Dynasty was destroyed, the Zhou Dynasty was prosperous, and Jiuding moved to the Zhou capital Hojing.
From the Shang to the Zhou, the Dingdu or the establishment of a dynasty was called "Dingding".
The meaning of "evil is Dingding", which is self-evident: the plan remains unchanged, and the country must be established in the original date The secretaries of the Jin State and many ambitious people have been like a group of jackals staring at the fat of the Jin State, the number one overlord in the world.
Yuqiu, which was originally just a large village and bazaar, was surrounded by only broken stone and wooden piles to prevent wild beasts from invading the low wall, but now under the painstaking management of Yingchan'er, it has become a city with a radius of nine miles and a rammed earth wall as high as two zhang.
"The gold has melted and is ready to be cast" Someone stood on the high dirt steps and shouted, and quickly got busy in all directions.
Ying Chan'er, Feng Xingya and other tribal patriarchs stood on the wooden two-story building, nervously took a few steps forward, held on to the railing, and looked at the opposite side, the founding treasure of Dongyi Kingdom was about to be cast.
In that era, at the time of the founding of the country, all the flags were broken, the ceremonial platform collapsed, and the casting of the tripod failed, all of which were very serious ominous signs, enough to shake the morale of the people, and for a group of forces like Dongyi that could not reach an agreement on the founding of the country, it was even more enough to cause the entire plan to go to waste, how could Cheng Bi not be nervous, she already felt that her throat was a little thirsty, as if she was standing in front of the raging fire of the furnace.
The soldiers around are all the queen's cronies composed of warriors from the two major tribes of Ying and Feng, and the craftsmen of the casting tripod, from making the model, to smelting, to casting, to trimming, all the craftsmen in the process are skilled craftsmen hired by the king of the children of the Ying Chan.
Of course, this is just talking to the outside world, in fact, these people are the most reliable and best craftsmen of Ren Jiabao personally selected by Princess Wu Ren Ruoxi and her sister Ren Bingyue.
It was scorching at this time, but the air above the furnace was still fluctuating strangely due to the heat, and the shadows of the trees in the distance and the spear-wielding soldiers cruising the city walls through it were gently fluctuating like reflections in the water, and there was no wind around, because the image swaying caused by the air fluctuations made people feel uneasy and oppressive.
A large group of strong men with naked bindings and only a fig leaf tied to their crotch busily circled the huge furnace, adding fire to the fire and blowing the wind, and another group of people shouted to open the earthen kiln not far away, and pulled out the fan that had been preheated.
The floor was covered with fine wood of equal thickness and proportions at both ends, and the huge Baoding mould was carefully moved down from the primitive roller passage to the bottom of the furnace, and then the wrestlers carefully corrected the injection port of the mould with the copper release port of the furnace.
This "mother fan" is made of pottery, there are fine and delicate patterns on the top, and there are exquisite patterns on the inner core inside, the patterns are all reversed, when the copper water is poured into shape, they can let people see the true face of Lushan.
This pottery fan from the selection of mud, drying, crushing, sifting, mixing, and mud, beating, kneading, soaking, until the fan, the whole preparation has been carried out for more than a month, the treasure of the country, such a major thing even if the craftsmen do not know the power struggle within Dongyi, but also attach great importance to it, such a grand event, for them these craftsmen, how is it not a glorious event.
The craftsmen coaxed the apprentices away, stepped forward themselves, carefully removed the grass plaster that was pasted on the outside of the pottery utensils, and when everything was ready, with excitement, the oldest craftsman nervously pulled his beard and shouted, and the apprentices opened the furnace, and the red copper water poured out, splashing dazzling sparks, slowly pouring along the opening reserved by the model.
The mold is upside down, so that after the copper liquid is poured, the impurities in the pores and the copper liquid will float up because it is relatively light, and then turn it over when Baoding is cast, then the upper part of Baoding will have a fine texture, smooth copper and clear patterns.
At this time, it has reached the most critical time of casting the tripod, once it can not withstand the drastic change in temperature and causes the fan to burst or the fan cracks due to the heavy pressure of the copper water, then the previous efforts will be lost.
Cheng Bi's heart was raised to her throat, a pair of pink fists were clenched tightly, her appearance was already extremely beautiful, wearing a Dongyi costume, she was even more delicate, her pretty appearance looked no more than two years older than Xuanniao, but the charming charm was incomparable to Xuanniao's youthfulness.
At this time, the two long eyelashes blinked nervously, and a pair of autumn-like eyes seemed to ripple layer by layer, and some of the elders of the various tribes were still young men with strong blood, even at such a critical moment, they still looked at her more often than at that Baoding.
After a long time, the Xuanniao girl cheered, grabbed her father's arm, and said happily: "Success, success" At the same time, the craftsmen on the opposite side also let out bursts of ecstatic cheers, Cheng Bi let out a long breath, a charming smile bloomed on her pretty face, and said happily: "God bless Dongyi" The ministers and elders who were standing around hurriedly echoed whether they were disappointed or not.
Next, the copper liquid was cooled, the outer fan and the inner fan were removed, and a huge copper tripod appeared in front of them.
The craftsmen removed the debris, and immediately began to prepare all kinds of tools, to use hammering, sawing, chiseling and other means to polish the Baoding, eliminate the excess copper, burrs, flash, be sure to ensure that the treasure of the Zhenguo copper tripod built on the occasion of the establishment of Dongyi is shining, incomparably magnificent.
"Patriarchs, please follow Ying Chan'er to take a look at my Dongyi Baoding" Cheng Bi said, Wan Wan Tingting walked towards the stairs, and the patriarchs hurriedly followed behind Yu Xiangskirt.
The bird seemed to be hanging on his father's arm, but he was about to jump and jump when he walked, and after walking two steps, he couldn't bear to slow down, let go of his father and hurried two steps, and chased to the queen Yingciao'er.
The other ministers followed suit, following him, with very different expressions.
Some of these tribal elders have no ambitions, and now they are subordinate to the command of the Lady of the Cicada.
Some of them are quite dissatisfied with her, relying on the strength of their own clan, and do not take this as the queen of the old qi who was only used to bewitch the various clans of Dongyi to fight against the Qi country, but they have recently been robbed and killed by the Gu Junhai faction of the old department, resulting in heavy losses, and the Ying clan and the Feng clan tribes who are most popular with Ying Chan'er have gathered together and lived in Yuqiu City, which has begun to take shape, Gu Junhai is afraid of its force, and has never sent people to attack, and the strength is already above the tribes, even if they are unwilling in their hearts, they have to swallow their anger, temporarily agreed to merge the various ethnic groups to establish the Dongyi Kingdom.
The Zhenguo Treasure Ding has not yet been polished, and it looks relatively rough, but the magnificent momentum has already made people respect at first sight, and they suddenly have the meaning of worship.
The founding treasure tripod is seven feet high, three-legged tripod, two ears are towering, the belly is slightly bulging, the bottom is round, decorated with gluttonous patterns, the animal face is warded off evil spirits, and the moire fills the bottom.
In the center of the four directions of Baoding, east, west, north and south, is a picture of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing.
The Dongyi ethnic group is similar to the Chu people and worships the phoenix, a sacred bird.
The sacred bird phoenix designed by Qingji is magnificent and noble, and is much more magnificent and gorgeous than the traditional phoenix pattern with simple lines, so now the countries and tribes in the south who worship the sacred bird totem have begun to adopt the phoenix of Wu as the standard style of the totem, specifically, it is the clothes worn by the noblewomen, the patterns on the gold, silver and jade ornaments, and they have begun to adopt this new phoenix pattern that is extremely noble at a glance.
Dongyi was founded with the help of Wu, and the future belonging of Dongyi has already been clarified in the founding policy: attached to Wu and a vassal of Wu.
It was the queen's order that simply copied the flag pattern of the Wu Kingdom and cast it on the founding treasure.
In the eyes of the Dongyi tribes who opposed the founding of the country, this was naturally a move by Ying Chan'er to flatter Wu in order to gain the support of Wu State.
Cheng Bi and the others circled around the unpolished and slightly rough Baoding, only to feel that this Baoding was simple and dignified, and the momentum was magnificent, and they couldn't help but praise it.
It is the Dongyi people who do not agree with the founding of the country, looking at this giant ding that belongs to their own nation, and their mood is also a little excited.
Standing in front of Baoding, Cheng Bi looked carefully for a long time before smiling and said: "Baoding is cast, and the will of heaven is in harmony, so we will hold the founding ceremony at the original time."
Dan U" "The villain is here" Dan Wu, a fierce and mighty Dongyi warrior with a quiver on his back, hurriedly stepped forward, his eyes met Cheng Bi's soft and watery eyes, and his handsome face suddenly flushed slightly, and he hurriedly nodded to the ground on one knee, leaned down and said respectfully: "Dan Wu, please ask Her Majesty the Queen for orders" The beauty of the blue color has indeed reached the supreme realm of "the stunner ordered by the heavens, not the body, but the people", and there are not many outstanding warriors in the Dongyi tribe who secretly admire this queen.
Although there have been some rumors among the Dongyi tribes recently that the queen is not perfect, she has already had a man, and even gave birth to a son, but this does not affect the infatuation of these hot-blooded men with her.
Just Ying Chan'er's radiant and irresistible complexion is enough to offset these negative effects.
What's more, the Dongyi tribe still maintains the quaint style of ancient times to a large extent, and men don't care much about the love entanglements before women become their wives, and they don't have the extreme importance that the Central Plains countries attach to women's chastity after being cultivated by Zhou Li.
It's just that this Yingcian son and daughter king has never pretended to be a man, and he is also delicate and noble, and his status is respected, so no one dares to express his love to her, so even Danwu, a famous archer and first-class Dongyi warrior in the Dongyi tribes, is ashamed of himself in front of her, full of love, but he also dares to express his thoughts.
This Danwu regards the cicada as a god in the sky, both respectful and awe-struck, and when she approaches, it is inevitable that her heart beats short of breath.

Cheng Bi was wearing a Dongyi woman's Luo skirt at this time, the skirt was shorter, and two slender calves were exposed below, as soon as Dan Wu knelt down, he saw the two calves that were pink, and his heart couldn't help jumping, as if it was blasphemy to look at more, and he hurriedly lowered his gaze, but no matter how low his gaze was, he saw her feet, the weather was hot, Cheng Bi's feet were a pair of soft and comfortable grass feet, as if the skin was crystal clear, ten cute toes like a silkworm baby, and the delicate and slender soles of the feet fell in his eyes one by one, Dan Wu only felt that he was asked to kneel down and kiss the toes, all of which were the happiness of receiving the supreme gift, and he couldn't help but have a dry mouth.
When Cheng Bi was in Qufu, Lu State, there were many big people who were used to seeing beauties among the ministers, and they were fascinated when they saw her, and she naturally knew why this young man was cramped.
Cheng Bi smiled lightly, pretending to be ignorant: "The last time I sent to Wu was very successful, I was very happy in my heart, and this time I have to bother you to visit."
When Xuanniao heard this, he immediately jumped out and said: "The queen is eccentric, how can she only praise him and not me, I am a righteous man."
If the queen wants to send him to Wu again, then I will go too. ” Cheng Bi smiled: "This time it's not to go to Wu State, it's to Qin State."
Are you going too?"
When Xuanniao heard this, he stuck out his tongue and said, "It's so far, then I won't go."
If you go to Qin, I'm afraid you will miss the queen's accession to the throne. ” Cheng Bi smiled, and took out a lacquered and sealed silk book from his sleeve, Dan Wu saw it, and hurriedly took it with both hands, only to hear Cheng Bi say: "You set off immediately, go to Qin State, and present this letter to Qin Gong." ” "Yes," Dan Wu nodded heavily, "the villain will definitely complete Her Majesty's mission." ” Cheng Bi had just left the place of casting under the protection of the elders of the tribes, when he saw a group of warriors in bright armor in front of him, who was walking in front of him, with a burly figure like a lion, but a big sleeve fluttering, and he was actually a one-armed general.
Cheng Bi stopped, and the man stepped forward quickly and smiled at her: "Ben will hear that Her Majesty the Queen has succeeded in casting the tripod, which shows that Dongyi has established the country in accordance with the will of heaven, which is a good omen."
Liang Huzi came to congratulate him. ” "General Cheng Liang Ji Yan."
Cheng Bi talked about the banquet and said: "The success of the casting tripod, all the departments of my Dongyi can't help but be happy, and the cicada is about to invite General Liang to come and have a drink with the patriarchs of my Dongyi tribes."
The general has just arrived, so let's go with us. ” "Hahaha, it's better to be respectful than to obey.
Queen please. ” "General Liang please" The two only gave each other a humble word, and Cheng Bi smiled slightly and walked to the front as a rule.
Liang Huzi was slightly stunned, and his face showed a look of uncertainty.
Plainly, Ying Chan'er is extremely respectful to the general sent by King Wu to support her, and she never considers herself a queen in front of him.
In the crowd, several suspicious tribal patriarchs saw the words and expressions of the two in their eyes, and their faces were impassive, but they quietly exchanged glances while they were unprepared.
That night, the residence of Cheng Zhiwu, the patriarch of the Cheng clan, the Yang family, the Jie family, the Xue family, and the Guo family came one after another.
"Hahaha, come on, Brother Yang, Brother Jie, you're late, come in, let's usually stay in our own tribe and get together, let's meet today for Guanzhuding, haha, I want to have a drink tonight."
Please come in, please come in" Cheng Zhiwu greeted the door, hugged the Yang family and the Jieshi affectionately, and put his arm into the room, the room was empty, a big hall, but the seat was empty, and there was no one.
As soon as he entered the hall, the smile on Cheng Biwu's face disappeared, he glanced at the two of them, and walked to the inner room first.
Yang and Jieshi glanced at each other, and after a little hesitation, they left, Jie's eyebrows frowned, and he couldn't help but sigh and shake his head.
Entering the inner room, it was a smaller hall, in which two people were already sitting, there was wine and meat on the table, and the fragrance was fragrant, and the two people were full of thoughts, but they had never touched the chopsticks.
As soon as they saw the three of them coming in, the two hurriedly got up to greet each other, and the patriarchs of the Yang clan and the Jie clan were also busy greeting each other, and said coldly: "Brother Xue, Brother Guo, please sit down, my brother is a little late." ” The five people sat down, Cheng Zhiwu's eyes swept slowly, and he pressed his knees and said: "Everyone, please come over today, I believe you already know what I mean, I just want to discuss with you, the future of our various clans, I don't know what your brothers think."
Cheng Zhiwu is in his fifties, his figure is very strong, his face is square, his complexion is a little dark, as the patriarch of the third largest clan in Dongyi, with tens of thousands of clansmen, his every move has the majestic temperament of the head of one party.
Jie Shi looked at the others, and said dejectedly: "What other opinions can Ying Chan'er is now strong and strong, and the founding of the country is imminent, and we were killed by Gu Junhai's group of thieves, do we still have the ability to fight against her?"
"Hmph" Cheng Zhi sneered: "Then Brother Jie is willing to let a woman ride to the head and not become a dignified man, he should ride a woman under the crotch and never turn over."
Jie's stall said: "Originally, we still had the strength to fight with her, but now there is nothing to say" Cheng Zhiwu laughed and asked rhetorically: "What about you now, you and I are the patriarchs of all ethnic groups, and we are at ease, how free and happy."
Once Dongyi establishes the country, Yingchan'er will be the king, and it will be good to put you and me wherever we are, we can all be named ministers, but it is not the reason to surrender to others that the minister would rather be the head of the chicken than the queen of the cow, I don't need to say more Besides, what will happen in a few hundred years, the royal family has been passed down from generation to generation, and the Ying clan has always been called the king, but our major clans may not always be able to hold the position of Shiqing.
And we are now, but we can ensure that our children and grandchildren will always be the head of the family.
Don't you think of this truth, don't say it far away, just say that the Lu country is close at hand, that that Kongqiu Kong Zhongni, he is still the tenth grandson of Song Xianggong, the ancestor is not only the king of a country, but also the overlord of the world, passed to his generation, but ran the world like a lost dog, just a few days as a big secretary, and was demoted to dig ditches and repair rivers, our five major clans have been the big surnames in the Dongyi tribes for generations, but once the country is established, after the tenth generation, I am afraid that your and my descendants have already been defeated. ” The patriarch of the Guo clan frowned and said: "We have all agreed to merge the Dongyi tribes and establish the Dongyi Kingdom, and now there is still the power to return to the heavens, and you have also seen it today, the Ding of the Zhenguo has also been successfully cast, this providence, what else can we do?"
"Haha" Cheng Zhiwu laughed twice and said abruptly: "The success of casting Ding does not necessarily mean that she can become the queen of Dongyi."
You should also know that there are more than 60 tribes in Dongyi, large and small, and there are not a few who do not want to merge and build a country, but their tribes are small and dare not come forward to oppose it.
The patriarch of the Xue clan sighed: "Brother Cheng, with your and my current strength, even if someone responds, I won't be able to fight that woman." ” Cheng Zhiwu sneered: "That's not necessarily, within my Dongyi, there are still nearly half of the tribes who are reluctant to build the country."
As for the woman on the outside, we underestimated her at the beginning, and thought that we would set up a puppet and call on all ethnic groups in Dongyi to fight against the Qi country, but we raised tigers to cause trouble.
However, although this woman is scheming, she is a woman after all, and she lacks foresight.
She wanted to establish a state, so she curried favor with Wu and got the support of Wu on the condition of being a vassal of Wu.
But now that she has just returned to the country, she has just raised her eyebrows, and her tail has risen halfway up the mountainside, and she is trying to cling to the Qin State.
The matter of her sending an envoy to Qin was discussed with us, of course you all know the details, because Uncle Qin and her are both surnamed Ying, she sent an envoy to Qin, to recognize relatives with Uncle Qin, and become brother and sister.
Relying on Qin's self-respect, the purpose is, of course, to hope that after becoming the queen, she will gradually get rid of the control of Wu and become the real master of Dongyi.
I believe that Uncle Qin will gladly agree to recognize this cheap sister, but Qin Yuan is in the west, although Qin and Wu have an alliance, Wu will not be too embarrassed for Ying Chan'er in the face of Qin, but he will never let this piece of fat to be thrown away again, Ying Chan'er's foundation is not stable, so he is whimsical, thinking about getting rid of Wu Guo's control, it is really worth the loss.
But I have some admiration for this woman, she is still so ambitious as a woman, is it not as good as her for us big men This woman is dizzy, and making such a move in a hurry will inevitably make Wu Guo dissatisfied, and now you have also seen that Liang Huzi of Wu Guo did not know about her sending envoys to Qin, and she was already very displeased because of her disrespect, which shows what is her status as a queen in the eyes of the Wu people, and will the Wu people let her out of their control Once Wu Guo knows that she is close to Qin State, how can she not know her true intentions, and then there will be a crack in the alliance between Wu State and her. ” Jie Shi shook his head and said: "Brother Cheng, that is in the future, at least for now, Liang Huzi will fully support her, in order to make Dongyi belong to the Wu State."
We still don't have a chance. ” "Who said there was no chance" The patriarch of the Xue clan hurriedly said: "Brother Cheng, what is the opportunity you are talking about?"
Cheng Zhiwu smiled, his expression was straight, and he said solemnly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the opportunity I am talking about includes many aspects.
Inside, of course, my Dongyi tribe, and nearly half of the tribe are unwilling to build a country, and once they have the opportunity, they will oppose it en masse.
In addition, this external reason is enough to offset the threat of the combined forces of Ying Chan'er and Liang Huzi. ” The patriarch of the Jie clan looked tight, his body couldn't help but move forward, and he asked urgently: "Brother Cheng, what is the reason" The other people also held their breath and listened attentively to Cheng Zhiwu's words.

Cheng Zhiwu sold enough passes, smiled mysteriously, and said: "First of all, the state of Wu occupies Pengcheng of the state of Song, so it has a grudge with the state of Song, and it is not said that there will be a war between the two countries.
The war is together, how many soldiers of the Wu State have to deal with both the Song State and the Dongyi State" Jieshi said: "But the Song State is now uniting with the Wei State against the Jin State, and how many troops can be drawn to fight with the Wu State Liang Huzi Even if the army is transferred to fight the Song State, I believe that the war will not last long, he can come back, where can we go" "Hmph, I'm afraid he won't be able to get back."
"How do you say this?"
Cheng Zhiwu smiled gloomily, picked up the cup, slowly took a sip of wine, closed his eyes and savored it for a long time, opened his eyes and praised: "This wine is sweet and catchy, with an endless aftertaste, it is really worthy of its name, everyone, why don't you calm down and taste it, this is the white grass used by the Yue royal family."
To be continued:
