Chapter 1,215 Divination

"Oh..." Cai Bian nodded: "It makes sense, but I still have to ask, is your envoy coming this time with cultural qualifications or military skills?"

"Literary qualifications! Of course they are literary qualifications!" Liang Yi Duomi said quickly: "I heard that the Song Dynasty was going to reorganize its system, and the Queen Mother ordered me to come here to see if there is anything worth learning from the Xia Kingdom."

"My task is to observe the ceremony. To observe the ceremony, of course I have a literary qualification. Hahaha..."

Shao Bowen immediately seized the loophole and frowned: "Queen Mother? Shouldn't the exchanges between the two countries be based on the monarch's will? It has been several years since the Queen Mother of your country withdrew the curtain, and the monarch has already been in charge. Shouldn't the edict come from the monarch?"

"Ah, yes, yes!" Liang Yiduo Mi quickly explained: "I have tried my best to change the Han system to the Han Dynasty, but there are many flaws in the etiquette of the court. Before your Majesty ordered me to go out, the Queen Mother was not at ease and summoned me specially.

, it is said that the etiquette system of the Song Dynasty is the most complete, so you should pay more attention to it."

Shao Bowen then asked: "As far as I know, the Queen Mother of the Xia Kingdom has always opposed Han rituals and strived to restore the summer system. For this reason, she also had conflicts with the ruler of your country, which made it impossible to implement the Han system in your country..."

"Rumors!" Liang Yi Duomi immediately denied: "The Xia Dynasty established the country with military force, but Mr. Jia said that Confucianism should not separate civil and military talents. Among the six arts of a gentleman, ritual and music are virtues, shooting and control are martial arts, and calligraphy and arithmetic are literature.

"

"During the Han and Tang dynasties, there were many Confucian officials who took charge of the army and took charge of the people. Therefore, our dynasty was not opposed to the Han system, but believed that the Han system that was suitable for the Song Dynasty was not necessarily suitable for the Xia Kingdom."

"The Song Dynasty was more interested in arithmetic, and the Xia Kingdom was more interested in archery, but they were both countries, and there was no difference in the emphasis on etiquette, music, and discipline. Didn't King Wuling of Zhao also change his clothes to ride on horseback and shoot?

It can still be counted as the countries of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."

Cai Bian said with a smile: "Your envoy is easy to talk to, and your lord knows people well."

"But it was Li Qing who was previously listed in the credentials. Is there no other reason why he was replaced by you besides his ability?"

"No." Liang Yi Duobi opened his eyes and told lies: "Yi Duobi didn't dare to compare himself to Li Shi, but... ah, but Yi Duobi had an encounter with Duke Fu of your country. I heard that Duke Fu has now become

An important minister of your country, the Queen Mother...ah, Your Majesty, it is because of this that Yi Duobi was lucky enough to get this position."

Shao Bowen asked: "If the order is changed overnight, let alone the impact on the diplomatic relations between the two countries, does Li Shidao have no complaints?"

"I don't know about this..." Liang Yi Duomi decided not to dwell on this issue: "Maybe there is another appointment..."

Cai Bian asked again: "Let's put this aside for now. There is another question. Why didn't your envoy follow the old path this time?"

Liang Yi was sweating as he buried his head: "There is a reason for this. In the past, when the Xia Kingdom came to Beijing, the envoys would leave the gorge from Xiaoguan, then rest in Tiandu Mountain, submit customs documents, and wait for your country to invite its companions."

"However, Tiandu Mountain fell into the hands of the traitor Li Wenzhao for a long time. This thief is extremely ambitious and is most afraid of the reconciliation between the two countries. He has always blocked our way to the pilgrimage."

"When I arrived at Xiaoguan after receiving the mission, I heard that Li Wenzhao had ordered troops and hoarded troops in Huluchuan, so I had to change my route to Huanqing."

"As a result, the governor of Huanzhou in your country also sent troops to the two Sichuan provinces, and I heard that the Tibetans were also causing rebellion. I had no choice but to continue eastward and enter the Song Dynasty at Qingjian City."

"This is an expedient measure. Yiduo buried himself in the wind and snow, and did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles, just to come to congratulate His Majesty on his grand occasion. I also ask Honglu Temple to forgive Yiduo for his hard work.

It was a discourteous act that had no choice but to be considerate of Yi's painstaking efforts."

After saying that, he wiped his eyes with his hands and pretended to cry: "If this incident offends the king of your country, then Yi Duobian will never be redeemed. He can only go to Xuandemen to commit suicide and apologize to the Emperor of Song Dynasty."

"I only hope that His Majesty the Song Dynasty will continue the quiet policy for the sake of Yi Duobi's sincerity. This will be a blessing to the subjects of the two countries and allow Yi Duobi to die without regrets... wu wu wu..."

Cai Bian and Shao Bowen looked at each other, and Shao Bowen said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this. The Song Dynasty is not an unreasonable country. Please rest assured about this."

Liang Yiduo stopped crying immediately: "Thank you so much Song Dynasty, thank you so much for your understanding."

Shao Bowen sneered and said: "But before we came, as soon as we left Honglu Temple, we saw two birds vying for plum blossoms, and one bird fell to the ground. So Shaoqing asked me to teach me a lesson and do some divination."

Liang Yiduo asked: "Does Si Cheng still know these things?"

Cai Bian smiled: "This is Mr. Anle and his son, he is the best in the world."

"When I was in Japan, I calculated that the rebellious ministers were unfavorable to the country's leader. I caught Xiao Xiao and found the rebellious ministers. I also calculated the lair of the great demon and burned it. The leader of Japan regarded him as a good teacher of the country."

"Later I went to Goryeo, and I got a high-quality mausoleum for the king of Goryeo. The king respected him as a fortune teller, which is very powerful."

Liang Yiduo was frightened when he heard this: "Mr. Anle's son? This..."

Shao Bowen said with a smile: "When you call to respond to an event, you don't predict it if you don't move, and you don't predict it if it doesn't happen. Since the temple minister mentioned this matter, there is an opportunity for divination."

"So I threw six coins at the plum blossoms. By coincidence, the hexagram was exactly the same as the one my father had divined back then."

"On the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month of the Chen year, when my father was watching the plum blossoms, he also saw two birds vying for a branch and falling to the ground. He said: 'It's strange that the two birds are vying for a branch and falling to the ground.' Because of this, the word Chen year is the fifth month, which is December.

Twelve numbers, seventeen numbers on seventeen days, a total of thirty-four numbers, except eight, the remaining two numbers belong to Dui, and are the upper hexagrams."

"Add the nine numbers in the Shen hour, and you will get a total of forty-three. Divide forty by five and eight, and you will get three numbers. For Li, make the next hexagram."

"The total number of the top and bottom is forty-three, divided by six, six, seven and forty-two, and the remaining one is the moving line, which is the Zehuo leather. The first line becomes salty, and each other is dry and sundae."

"So he said: 'Tomorrow night there will be a woman plucking flowers, but the gardener will chase her away without knowing it. The woman will be frightened and fall to the ground, injuring her buttocks.'"

Liang Yiduo's eyes were filled with stars when he heard this, but he also breathed a sigh of relief: "This is amazing. How did Mr. Anle make such a prediction?"

Shao Bowen said: "The incident happened on a plum blossom tree. Two birds competed for branches and fell to the ground. The omen is ominous."

"Use the hexagrams to analyze: Zehuo Le, Dui means lack, Li means Fire and the sun, that is, the time when the sun is missing, Dui means stars and moon, so it is night;"

"Dui is a girl, separation is a flower, mutuality is a flower and tree, stem is a circle and is a garden, and together they are a garden."

"The Xun wood is damaged by Qian metal, and it is destroyed by the combination. Therefore, it is combined into a girl's broken flower;"

"Qian is the person who overcomes Xun flowers and trees, and is the gardener who manages the flowers and trees; when compared to a girl, it means broken, and Xun also means stock. When Xun wood is overcome by Qian metal, it means damage. Taken together, it means that the girl's stock is broken."

"Fortunately, the Xian hexagram was changed. The lower hexagram of Xian is Gen, which is earth. If you mix it with gold, the girl will be born in this earth. Although she will be injured, it will not be a serious disaster."

"The time was during the Lingshen period in December. The Dui hexagram was full of Qi, while the Xunli hexagram was dormant. Moreover, there was Gen native Duijin in the hexagram group. Therefore, it still means that the girl will not be in serious trouble."

"Here, the role of the elephant is more important than the role of the body. As for the fulfillment time, why is it the next day? First, it is based on the short duration of the plum blossom blooming, and second, it is based on the number of two birds. Therefore, it is judged to be the next day."

Liang Yiduo asked: "Is that a yes?"

Shao Bowen smiled and said, "No."

Liang Yiduo couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't this ineffective?"

Shao Bowen smiled and said: "It is difficult to know the will of God. Since we have speculated about this matter, it means that this matter can be intervened. It is called 'easy number'."

"My father told the gardener that a girl would be picking flowers the next day, so don't yell at her and ask her to be careful. Sure enough, a girl came the next day, but no disaster occurred."

Liang Yiduo breathed a sigh of relief: "Then tomorrow, will there be girls coming to pick flowers at the post house? Then I will order you not to disturb them."

Shao Bowen shook his head: "That's wrong. One time, my father and I were sitting by the stove at home. A neighbor knocked on the door. The first knock was stopped, and then five more knocks, and he asked for something to borrow."

"Father, don't say anything, let me borrow whatever you want."

"I took the first hexagram that belongs to Qian as the upper hexagram, and the five tones that belong to Xun as the lower hexagram. I also used the five tones of Qian and five sundas for a total of six numbers, and added the number of unitary hours to get a total of sixteen numbers. Divided by six, I got two, six and twelve, and I got the sky. Feng Qiao."

"The fourth line changes to the Sunda hexagram, with heavy stems appearing on each other. In the hexagram, the three stems of gold and the two of the sunda wood are objects of gold and wood. Also, the stem gold is short and the sunda wood is long, so cutting them off is done with a hoe. "

"However, my father said that I was wrong and that I should have borrowed the axe. When I asked, it turned out to be true."
