246 Chapter 246-digging the ground to see his mother
In the main hall, uncle Zheng was sitting at the main seat. Although the fragrance of the food served by the waiter was overflowing and the surrounding officials were toasting, uncle Zheng was still unhappy. His brows were tightly furrowed, and it seemed that he did not have much appetite.
Xia Pingan opened his eyes and saw the scene in front of him.
For someone who didn’t have a spiritual will crystal and didn’t know about this part of history, they probably didn’t know what to say in such a scene. They definitely wouldn’t know why Uncle Zheng was so unhappy.
Zheng zhuanggong’s title was actually count, and Duke was added after his death.
Although Zheng zhuanggong was famous throughout history and left behind many stories, he could be considered one of the most famous people in the spring and autumn. However, every family had its own difficulties. Zheng zhuanggong had grown up in an environment that was extremely lacking in maternal love. In modern terms, he might have suffered from the syndrome of lacking maternal love.
From a psychological point of view, he would spend the rest of his life pursuing what he had lacked in his childhood.
After becoming the ruler of the state of Zheng, his own mother had deceived him and secretly colluded with his own brother to plot against him. She wanted to overthrow him and take away everything he had. This was the tragedy that had happened to Zheng zhuanggong.
Why did Zheng zhuanggong lack motherly love? why did his mother not like him? if one traced it back, it might have something to do with his mother’s difficulties when she gave birth to him. It might have been a difficult labor. Zheng zhuanggong’s name was Zhisheng. The word ” Zhisheng ” was used to describe ” ni ” in the Spring and Autumn period. This name meant that things had not been smooth since he was born. It was not that his head came out first, which almost took his mother’s life. Thus, he was not liked by his mother when he was born. She even hated him, which led to a series of events later on.
Xia Pingan looked at Zheng zhuanggong with some sympathy and sighed in his heart. It was only because Zheng zhuanggong was born in the wrong position that caused a series of chain reactions in the state of Zheng. If Wu Jiang had given birth to him naturally and Zheng zhuanggong’s head had come out first, many of these things would probably not have happened.
What was the cause of Zheng zhuanggong’s difficult labor? Who knew if it was because Wu Jiang had taken a wrong nap when he was pregnant, or if Wu Jiang had eaten a fruit that Zheng zhuanggong didn’t like, causing him to roll over in his mother’s womb.
If one studied history carefully, they would be able to discover the reasons behind many major events in history. They were very strange and even insignificant. This was the butterfly effect. God used an invisible hand to gently adjust Zheng zhuanggong’s position in his mother’s womb at a certain time, and then it would bring about Wars and power struggles that affected the entire state of Zheng.
Not many of these men had an easy life behind their backs.
However, compared to tasting feces, Zheng zhuanggong’s family tragedy didn’t seem to be much.
Zheng zhuanggong, who was sitting on the main seat, could feel Xia Pingan’s attention on him. He raised his glass at Xia Pingan, forced a smile, and said, ” this wine is a fine brew that only Xinzheng has. Uncle kao, you can drink more since you haven’t been to Xinzheng in a long time!
“Thank you, my King!” Xia Pingan said.
At this moment, a maidservant brought up the delicious roasted mutton. The entire Hall was filled with the aroma of the mutton. The other officials in the hall were all feasting and praising the taste.
While everyone was eating the mutton, only Xia Pingan didn’t eat it. He was eating the food beside it.
After a while, Zheng zhuanggong finally realized that Xia Pingan had not eaten the mutton on the table. He could not help but ask, ” uncle kao, why are you not eating the mutton on the table? is it because the mutton doesn’t taste good? ”
“Your Majesty, this mutton is too delicious. I can’t bear to eat it, so I want to keep it and bring it home for my mother to try. Please allow me to do so, Your Majesty!” Xia Pingan said.
bring it to Qianqian’s mother, Qianqian’s mother, Qianqian, ” Zheng zhuanggong muttered to himself. His lips trembled as if he wanted to ask something. In the blink of an eye, tears almost fell from his eyes. However, in the main hall, under the gaze of so many people, Zheng zhuanggong could not bring himself to shed tears. He could only use the influence of the alcohol to push his emotions up, turn around, and leave the table.
As soon as Zheng zhuanggong left, the ministers in the hall became even more noisy. Xia Pingan only waited for a while before he saw an Imperial eunuch beside Zheng zhuanggong quietly walk to his side. He lowered his head and whispered in Xia Pingan’s ear, ” the king wants to see you. Please follow me!
Xia ping ‘an left the banquet and followed the eunuch beside Zheng zhuanggong out of the main hall. Soon, they arrived at a garden in the palace.
Zheng zhuanggong was in a Pavilion, standing in a daze, looking at the stars in the sky. His back was lonely.
The eunuch who had brought Xia ping ‘an here hurriedly left after sending him off, leaving Zheng zhuanggong and Xia ping’ an alone in the garden.
Zheng zhuangguan turned around. His eyes were red and his voice was trembling. is she okay? ”
After the defeat of the youngster, Zheng zhuanggong’s younger brother, Duan Xuefeng, committed suicide after escaping the country. Wujiang had been imprisoned by Zheng zhuanggong and placed in the state of Zheng’s yingdi. Ying shukao was the highest official in yingdi, and monitoring Wujiang was one of his duties.
the Empress Dowager misses the king every day. She deeply regrets what she has done in the past. The Empress Dowager often tells the people around her that they are all her flesh and blood. Why do they have to be so resentful? ” Xia ping ‘an said.
“She really said that?” Zheng zhuanggong grabbed Xia ping ‘an’s hand. He was so excited that he actually burst into tears.
that’s right, the Empress Dowager can’t bear to part with you, my King. As the saying goes,’a happy family can also vent their anger’, ” Xia Pingan took the opportunity to say, ” if my King wishes to see the Empress Dowager, I can arrange it for you!
Zheng zhuanggong’s face showed a look of struggle and contradiction. Finally, he sighed. when the Empress Dowager and my second brother rebelled, I felt like my heart was cut by a knife. I once told her that we would never meet again until we reach the netherworld. This statement is known by the whole country. I am the Emperor of a country, how can I go back on my word? it’s a joke!
Xia ping ‘an immediately said seriously, ” how difficult is that? legend has it that the yellow spring is underground and can be found by digging the ground. Please rest assured, Your Majesty. Even if I have to dig a thousand feet underground, I will dig out the yellow spring so that Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager can live by the yellow spring and meet again as mother and son. I will not leave any hatred in the world and I will not let your Majesty become the subject of gossip!
Zheng zhuanggong’s spirits were lifted.
……
Xia ping ‘an left Xin Zheng that very night. She took a horse carriage and hurried back to Ying land.
The next day, Xia ping ‘an brought his followers to the place where they were imprisoned in Wujiang to see the imprisoned Empress Dowager of the state of Zheng.
At this time, Wu Jiang was actually regretting it. She only had one son now. When she heard Xia Pingan’s intention to arrange a meeting between her and Zheng zhuanggong to resolve the conflict between the mother and son, Wu Jiang immediately agreed.
Since both of them had agreed, the rest would be easy.
After returning to the government office, Xia Pingan immediately gave the order to gather workers and craftsmen. Three days later, Xia Pingan personally led hundreds of workers and craftsmen to the niubi mountain in yingdi.
The niubi mountain was actually not a mountain, but a low hill.
In history, Zheng zhuanggong had found his mother at niubi mountain.
After Xia Pingan asked a few blacksmiths who knew how to dig wells to check the terrain, he chose a place and asked everyone to dig a hole under the hill.
With hundreds of people doing this work, it didn’t take three days for them to dig a big hole under the mountain. They continued to dig in the hole and even found underground water.
After Xia Pingan asked the craftsmen to make some arrangements, the work was completed.
A month later, Zheng zhuanggong arrived at niubi mountain. He followed the hole that Xia Pingan had dug in the mountain to the underground. As soon as he reached the underground, he saw a ditch full of water. Beside the ditch was a stone tablet with the words ” yellow spring ” written on it.
The dark underground was filled with lanterns, and it was bright. His mother, Wu Jiang, was standing by the ditch, looking at him with tears.
The mother and son met each other in the underground and revealed their true feelings. They hugged each other and cried together.
After crying, Zheng zhuanggong wiped away his tears and left an idiom for the future generations, ” in the tunnel, there is also joy!
“It’s fun outside the tunnel!” Wu Jiang also wiped his tears and said.
Then, the mother and son walked out of the hole, hand in hand.
Xia ping ‘an stood outside the cave. He was about to go forward to congratulate her when the world of the realm Pearl shattered.
……
In the secret room, Xia Pingan opened his eyes.
This realm Pearl that Zheng zhuanggong had dug out had given Xia ping ‘an’s Secret mandala an additional 36 points of divine power. After fusing with this realm Pearl, the upper limit of Xia ping’ an’s Secret mandala had reached 2618 points.
Four-sun realm required 3780 points of divine power. From three-sun realm onwards, the conditions for Summoners to advance would become more and more difficult. To reach the 1000 points of divine power required for four-sun realm, one would need at least 30 to 40 realm pearls. Even the cheapest realm Pearl would cost tens of thousands of gold coins, not to mention the success rate of fusing these realm pearls. He would need more and more realm beads in the future, and the amount of money he would need would also become more and more terrifying.
The elder of the Tang family seemed to be a Summoner at the four-sun realm.
The entire Tang family occupied Dawan city, and the number of four-sun realm Summoners they could cultivate could be counted on their fingers.
Without the support of powerful resources, the three sun realm was the peak of a Summoner’s life.
Xia ping ‘an got out of bed and stretched his body. He looked at the stone wall of the secret room and with a thought, a pen-shaped Jade awl appeared in Xia ping’ an’s hand. The Jade awl scribbled on Xia ping ‘an’s hand like a dragon and snake. In the blink of an eye, a fist-sized ” dig ” word was written in the air and fell to the ground.
On the stone ground, a big hole that was half a foot deep and as thick as a bucket suddenly appeared.
Xia Pingan was still controlling his divine power. He only used one point of divine power to write the ” dig ” rune to try it out. If he had more divine power, Xia Pingan was afraid that with one word, a well would be dug out from the ground and flood the basement.
Although the secret skill obtained from this realm Pearl could not be used in direct combat, it would be very useful in the right place.
Thinking of the price of Zheng zhuanggong’s realm Pearl, Xia ping ‘an’s heart ached a little. Without money, it would be difficult to support such a consumption. Xia ping’ an was not even sure if his gold coins could last him until he reached the six-sun realm.
……
The news that came hastily was that there was not a single customer who had made an appointment at the Duke of Zhou building today. There was no income at all, so there was no need to waste any more time.
After coming out of the secret underground room, Xia Pingan went to sleep and rested to recharge his energy.
Xia Pingan didn’t know how long he could live in such a peaceful life.
The next day, it was still cloudy in Shangjing, with a light drizzle.
