When it comes to the history of the Japanese country, Wu Liang has some basic understanding of it by analogy.

As far as he knew, when the Celestial Dynasty was in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Japanese country was still in the most primitive "Jomon Age".

During this period, the Japanese people still lived in caves and lived in a relatively backward tribal society. They lived a life of gathering, fishing, and hunting, and they did not even have their own written language.

The so-called "Jomon Period" is an era named after later generations based on the unearthed Jomon pottery.

At that time, Qi State had already had contacts with Japan due to its geographical location.

And now.

That is to say, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Japanese country had entered the "Yayoi Era".

Influenced by the culture of the Celestial Dynasty, the Japanese began to plant rice and use various metal tools, such as bronze swords, bronze spears, etc., and their lives improved slightly.

However, the Japanese country in this era was not at peace either. Such a large place was divided into more than 30 small countries. The small countries either united or went to war, and the fighting was very lively.

Among them, the two countries that caused the most ferocity were the "Yamatai Kingdom" and the "Gou Slave Kingdom".

Later, the Celestial Dynasty officially became the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu.

Both countries also sent envoys to pay tribute to China.

It's just that the "Yamatai Kingdom" is located in the north of the archipelago, so it is close to the Wei Kingdom.

Both "Book of the Later Han" and "Three Kingdoms" have records: Cao Rui, the reigning Emperor Wei Ming at that time, also gave "Queen Beimihu of Yamatai Kingdom" a purple ribbon gold seal engraved with "Pro-Wei Japanese King", as well as hundreds of bronze mirrors.

He received several gifts in return, and later sent envoys to Japan to publicly acknowledge the legitimacy of the "Yamatai Kingdom".

The "Gunnu Kingdom" was located in the south of the archipelago, so it leaned towards the Kingdom of Wu.

Later, when the Celestial Dynasty was unified, the Sima family usurped Wei and established Jin.

The Japanese Kingdom gradually unified into the "Yamato Kingdom", and the so-called "Yamatai Kingdom" and "Gonu Kingdom" also disappeared in the torrent of history.

However, what is very worth mentioning during this period is the current "Queen of Yamatai Kingdom Himiko".

Although there are not many records about this woman in the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", it is also quite mysterious: "Huan, Lingjian, the Japanese country was in chaos, and they were attacking each other, and they had no owner for many years. There was a woman named Beimihu, who was too old to marry.

He worked in the ways of ghosts and gods, and was able to confuse people with demons, so he became the king together. He had thousands of servants and maids, but few were seen. Only a man gave him food and drink and delivered speeches. He lived in palaces, towers and city gates, and was guarded by soldiers.

The laws and customs are strict."

She is very old and unmarried, and is served by a thousand maids. Only one man brings her food and drinks, but few people have seen her true face, and they usually just send messages through the distance.

The most important thing is that she was able to become the queen when no one in the Japanese kingdom had been in power for many years because of her ability to "work with ghosts and gods and be able to confuse people".

This is very mysterious...

It should be noted that through later archaeological research and comparison with the "ghost way" of later Japanese countries with "Bimihu" as its origin, it was found that the ancient religious "ghost way" of the Japanese country was developed from the ancient "Taoism" of the Celestial Dynasty.

That is to say.

The ability of "Hemihu" to be "established as king" comes from the Celestial Dynasty.

And that's for sure.

"Taoism" must have been spread to the Japanese country before "Bimihu", and of course it also includes the mysterious and mysterious "alchemy" contained in "Taoism".

After all, this stuff is not something that can be studied and understood overnight.

Just like Wu Liang now, even though he has a lot of advanced knowledge in the 21st century, he does not dare to say that he can master the "art of Kanyu" that Yu Ji is good at and the "tactics of war" that Zhuge Liang is good at.

Even the more I know, the more I am in awe, and the more I feel "ignorant".

Therefore, even if this kind of thing spreads to the Japanese country, it may still need several generations of study and understanding, and it will also take someone with a certain talent to gradually understand the mystery.

certainly.

If it was just like Yu Ji did before, pretending that Wu Liang didn't say anything.

However, there have been people who cheated and deceived people since ancient times. Those who can deceive many small countries to the level of "standing together as kings" are very rare. As we all know, it is not easy to control political power. Without corresponding power, it is a rootless tree.

, so Wu Liang would rather believe that this "Bimihu" must have mastered some real talents and knowledge.

But then again.

Now that Wu Liangzheng and "Bimihu" live in the same era, is there a chance to meet this legendary "famous old woman"?

But the moment this idea appeared, Wu Liang immediately dismissed it.

Not to mention that Boss Cao's great cause of the Wei State has not yet stabilized. Even if it stabilizes later, today's Japanese country is still in the difficult stage of transformation from a primitive tribal society due to the influence of the Chinese culture. Coupled with the multi-national conquests, they still have enough to eat.

During the period of scarcity, there was no such thing as "lavish burial". To be precise, I'm afraid even the "funeral culture" was rudimentary to the extreme.

Why are you leading the Hu army to a place where birds don't poop?

Poverty alleviation?

Sorry, we in the army are not good people, and we will never engage in such a loss-making business!

unless……

After hearing Yu Ji's discovery in "The Biography of Mu Gong", Wu Liang had some doubts that the "ghost way" of "Bimihu" was related to Lu Zuo who was sent to the Japanese country by Jiang Taigong.

Unless it can be proven that there is an inevitable relationship between the two and Wu Liang is given a reason to go.

Only then would he reluctantly consider taking a look, and would also apply to Boss Cao to bring more food and grass supplies, so as not to have to let his brothers starve with him when he got a place, which would really be more than worth the gain...

Think of this.

Wu Liang came back to his senses and saw Yu Ji looking at him eagerly. He couldn't help but wonder: "Oh? Why did you stop? What else did you discover? Why don't you continue talking about it?"

"The old man saw that the young master was slightly absent-minded, and thought that the young master had discovered something..."

Yu Ji cleared his throat and said awkwardly.

"No, no, I just remembered something insignificant, go on."

Wu Liang waved his hands repeatedly.

"good."

Yu Ji obviously didn't believe it, but he didn't ask further questions. He just nodded and continued, "I just mentioned that Qiu Mu Gong Lu Yin stayed in Qi State to supervise the country... But after this incident, Jiang Taigong already had some concerns."

"In order to avoid the recurrence of fratricide, Jiang Taigong ordered Qi Dinggong to make a special copper seal with eight characters: 'Tai Gong's blessings are without taboos.' Later, he took three drops of blood from his own body and used a secret method to refine the copper.

In the seal, this copper seal has the effect of resisting such magic, and established the rule that this seal can only be passed down to the hands of the kings of Qi in the past. This is the origin of the 'Tai Gong Seal'."

"From then on, the Qi Kingdom finally had nothing to do for a hundred years, until Duke Ai of Qi was cooked and killed by the King of Zhou."

"After the death of Duke Ai of Qi, King Zhou granted Lu Jing the title of Duke Hu of Qi, but the 'Tai Gong Seal' did not fall into the hands of Duke Hu of Qi. Instead, it has been lost since then."

"At that time, Duke Mu of Qiu and Lu Yin were no longer alive, but the descendants of the Qiu family were still important ministers of the Qi State and could still supervise the country."

"Lü Jing, Duke Hu of Qi, did not get the 'Tai Gong Seal'. Firstly, he was afraid of the revenge of Qi Aigong's younger brother Lu Shan and his family, and secondly, he was afraid that the descendants of the Qiu family would take the opportunity to secretly use alchemy to his disadvantage, so he insisted on seizing the capital of Qi.

Yingqiu moved to Bogu."

"But it backfired."

"This move not only failed to dilute the hatred between his brother Lu Shan and Qi Aigong's family, but also made the descendants of the Qiu family start to worry about their own situation, so the two parties secretly joined forces to kill Qi Hugong in just a few years.

After his death, Lu Shan successfully replaced him and became the later Duke Xiang of Qi."

"But this matter is not completely settled after this."

"Although Qi Xiangong Lushan became the king of Qi with the help of the descendants of the Qiu family, he also saw the power of the Qiu family, so he also had some scruples about him from then on, and he actually wanted to kill Duke Hu of Qi.

The crime of regicide and disobedience is placed on the Qiu family, and all of them should be eradicated to avoid future troubles."

"At that time, the patriarch of the Qiu clan was named Qiu Loujia. He was worried about the end of the world, so after hearing some rumors, he led the entire clan to move overnight, and then fled all the way to Chu State. Since then,

I will no longer interfere with the affairs of Qi State."

"As for the whereabouts of the 'Tai Gong Seal', it has completely disappeared since then. Unexpectedly, it was found in the tomb of Duke Ai of Qi a thousand years later..."

At this point, Yu Ji finally stopped. This was the information he discovered by raiding the "Biography of Mu Gong".

As for whether there are other things in it, Wu Liang thinks there should be. After all, judging from the number of slips, the content must be more than that. Yu Ji should just pick out the important ones and say them first, or he might not have time to mention them.

I looked through it carefully and only saw a small part of it.

"This is right, everything is right..."

While Wu Liang was digesting what Yu Ji said, he nodded slightly and said, "First of all, the "History of Qi" said that Qi Hugong Lu Jing suddenly moved the capital, which caused the people of Qi to complain, but it did not explain the specific reasons why he had to move the capital.

, but it is explained in "The Biography of Mu Gong" and it is very reasonable."

"Secondly, Qiu Mugong Lu Yinnai replaced his father Jiang Taigong and his brother Qi Dinggong to guard Yingqiu, the capital of Qi State, so later generations took "Qiu" as their surname, and the "History of Qi" said that the families of Lushan and Qi Aigong were

They united with the 'Yingqiu people' to rebel and kill Duke Hu of Qi. The 'Yingqiu people' here should be referring to the descendants of the Qiu family, and they can definitely be matched."

"Again, I have been thinking before that the Qiu family is the blood of Jiang Taigong. As long as the Lu family is still in power in Qi, they have no reason to move their entire family as relatives. Now it can be regarded as obtained in "The Biography of Mu Gong"

It’s a very reasonable answer that makes perfect sense.”

"It's just that this 'Tai Gong Seal' was actually found in the Qi'ai Cemetery. This still makes me a little confused."

"The "History of Qi" says that the body of Duke Ai of Qi was secretly transported back and buried by Lu Shan and his family. So, Lu Shan should also know that the 'Tai Gong Seal' is hidden here, but after he killed Lu Shan

After Jing became Qi Xiangong, he did not take back the 'Tai Gong Seal'. Isn't this strange?"

"It should be noted that since the 'Tai Gong Seal' was passed down by Jiang Taigong, and he set the rule that it could only be passed down to the hands of successive Qi kings, its meaning is the same as the jade seal passed down by the state. Lu Shan should not not retrieve it.
To be continued...
