Golden Summoner

Chapter 246: Digging underground to meet mother

In the main hall, Uncle Zheng was sitting in the main seat. Although the aroma of the food served by the waiter was overflowing, and the ministers around him were drinking and drinking, Uncle Zheng was still depressed, his brows were furrowed, and he didn't seem to have much appetite.

As soon as Xia Pingan opened his eyes, what he saw was the scene in front of him.

In such a scene, people who don't have a mind crystal and don't know this period of history probably don't know what to say, let alone why Uncle Zheng is so depressed.

The title of Duke Zheng Zhuang was actually uncle, and the title was added after his death due to the "collapse of rituals and music".

Although Zheng Zhuanggong is famous in history and left many stories and is considered one of the celebrities in the Spring and Autumn Period, every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Zheng Zhuanggong grew up in an environment that was extremely lacking in maternal love. In modern terms, , Zheng Zhuanggong may be suffering from maternal love deficiency syndrome.

From the analysis of psychological psychology, he will spend his whole life pursuing what he lacked in childhood.

After becoming the lord of the Zheng Kingdom, his biological mother was deceiving him and secretly united with his own brother to plot against him, hoping to overthrow him and take away everything he had. Such a family tragedy also happened to Zheng Zhuanggong.

Why did Duke Zheng Zhuang lack maternal love and why his mother didn't like him? This question, if traced back, may be related to the fact that his mother Wu Jiang had trouble giving birth to him and may have had a difficult delivery. Duke Zheng Zhuang's name was Huansheng, and the character "夤" was inverse in the Spring and Autumn Period. The word, this name means that he was not born smoothly. He did not come out head first, which almost killed his mother. Therefore, he was not liked by his mother when he was born, and even hated him. This also caused a series of events that followed. matter.

Xia Ping'an looked at Duke Zheng Zhuang with some sympathy and sighed in his heart. Just because Zheng Zhuang's posture was wrong when he was born, it caused a series of chain reactions in Zheng Guo. If Wu Jiang had given birth to him naturally, , Zheng Zhuanggong’s head came out first, and many things that followed probably would not have happened.

What was the cause of Zheng Zhuanggong’s dystocia? God knows, maybe it was just that Wu Jiang took a nap in a wrong position when she was pregnant with him, or Wu Jiang ate fruit that Duke Zheng Zhuang didn't like, causing Duke Zheng Zhuang to turn over in her mother's womb...

If you study history carefully, you can find the reasons behind many major events in history, which are very strange or even trivial. This is the butterfly effect. God used that invisible hand to gently fiddle with the posture of Zheng Zhuanggong in his mother's womb at some point. Later, What it brought about was war and power struggles that affected the entire Zheng State.

Behind these men, few have it easy.

However, compared to Gou Jian who tasted feces, Zheng Zhuanggong’s family ethics tragedy seems to be nothing.

Zheng Zhuanggong, who was sitting on the main seat, felt Xia Pingan's comments to him. He raised his wine glass towards Xia Pingan, gave Xia Pingan a forced smile and said, "This wine is a fine wine. It can only be found in Xinzheng. Uncle Kao Jiubu When you come to Xinzheng, you can drink more of it!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xia Pingan said.

At this moment, a maid brought over delicious roasted mutton. The whole hall was filled with the aroma of mutton. All the other ministers in the hall moved their index fingers in admiration of the delicious food.

While everyone was eating mutton, only Xia Pingan was not eating, but was eating something next to it.

After a while, Duke Zheng Zhuang finally discovered that Xia Pingan did not eat the mutton on the table, and couldn't help but ask, "Why doesn't Uncle Kao eat the mutton on the table? Does the mutton taste bad?"

"Your Majesty, this mutton is so delicious that I can't bear to eat it. I want to stay and take this mutton home to give my mother a taste. I ask your permission, please!" Xia Ping'an said.

"Bring it to... mother... mother..." Zheng Zhuanggong murmured to himself, his lips trembling, wanting to ask something. In the blink of an eye, he almost shed tears, but in this hall, in full view of everyone, Zheng Zhuanggong was not easy to shed. Tears welled up just because of the wine, he turned his head and left the table first.

As soon as Duke Zheng Zhuang left, the officials in the hall became even more noisy. Xia Pingan just waited for a while and saw an eunuch beside Duke Zheng Zhuang. He quietly walked to him, lowered his head and said something in Xia Pingan's ear. , "The king wants to see you, please come with me!"

Xia Ping'an left the banquet, followed the eunuchs beside Zheng Zhuanggong, left the main hall, and soon came to a garden of the palace.

Duke Zhuang of Zheng was in a pavilion, standing in a daze, looking at the stars in the sky, his back lonely.

The eunuch who brought Xia Pingan here quickly left after delivering Xia Pingan. There were only two people in the whole garden, Zheng Zhuanggong and Xia Pingan.

Duke Zheng Zhuang turned around, his eyes were a little red, and his voice was trembling a little, "Is she...is she okay?"

After He Xiaozi'er was defeated, Duan, the younger brother of Duke Zhuang of Zheng, fled abroad and committed suicide. Wu Jiang was imprisoned by Duke Zhuang and exiled to Yingdi of Zheng State. Yingshu Kao was the highest official of Yingdi, and it was Yingshu Kao's responsibility to monitor Wu Jiang. one.

"The Queen Mother misses the King every day and regrets very much what she did. The Queen Mother often tells people around her that they are all her flesh and blood, so why is she like this..." Xia Pingan said.

"Did she really say that?" Zheng Zhuanggong grabbed Xia Pingan's hand and was a little excited, and suddenly he burst into tears.

"Yes, the Queen Mother can't bear to leave the King. She often says that the joy of a family can be spoiled..." Xia Pingan took the opportunity to say, "If the King wants to see the Queen Mother, I can arrange it for the King!"

There was a look of struggle and conflict on Zheng Zhuanggong's face, and he finally sighed, "When the Queen Mother and her second brother rebelled, my heart was cut with a knife. I once talked to her about the underworld and never saw each other. This statement is known to the whole country, and I am so sad." How can the king of a country go back on his word and make people laugh at him!"

Xia Ping'an immediately said seriously, "What's so difficult about this? The legendary Huangquan is underground and can be seen when digging. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will dig out the Huangquan even if I dig thousands of feet, so that the King and the Queen Mother can live by the Huangquan." When mother and son meet, they will not leave any grudge in the world, nor will they let the king be blamed!"

Duke Zheng Zhuang suddenly became energetic...

Xia Pingan left Xinzheng that night, took a carriage, and hurried back to Yingdi.

The next day, Xia Pingan and his entourage went to the place where Wu Jiang was imprisoned to meet the Empress Dowager Zheng who was imprisoned.

At this time, Wu Jiang actually regretted it. Now she only had such a son. When she heard that Xia Ping'an told her the purpose of her visit and was willing to arrange a meeting between her and Duke Zheng Zhuang to eliminate the conflict between their mother and son, Wu Jiang immediately agreed.

If both of them agreed, the rest would be easy.

Returning to the government office, Xia Pingan immediately ordered the recruitment of civilian craftsmen. Three days later, Xia Pingan personally led hundreds of civilian craftsmen directly to Niubi Mountain in Yingdi.

Niupi Mountain is actually not a mountain, but a low hill.

Historically, Duke Zhuang of Zheng dug into the ground to meet his mother in Niupi Mountain.

After Xia Ping'an asked several craftsmen who were good at digging wells to check the terrain, he chose a place and asked everyone to dig holes under the hills.

Hundreds of people did this work, and within three days, they dug a large hole under the Niupi Mountain. They continued to dig in the hole and dug out underground water.

After Xia Pingan asked the craftsmen to arrange it, it was done.

A month later, Duke Zheng Zhuang came to Niupi Mountain and followed the hole dug by Xia Ping'an in Niupi Mountain to the underground. Once underground, Duke Zheng Zhuang saw a ditch full of water underground. There was a stone tablet erected next to the ditch. The word Huangquan was written in the letter.

The dark underground was filled with lanterns, which were bright. His mother Wu Jiang was standing by the ditch underground, looking at him with tears.

Mother and son met underground, their true feelings revealed, and they cried together.

After crying, Zheng Zhuanggong wiped his tears and left an idiom for future generations, "In the big tunnel, the joy is also harmonious!"

Wu Jiang also wiped his tears and said: "Outside the big tunnel, the joy is also released!"

Then, mother and son walked out of the hole hand in hand.

Xia Pingan was standing outside the cave. Just as he was about to step forward to congratulate, Jie Zhu's world shattered.

In the secret room, Xia Pingan opened his eyes.

This boundary bead that Zheng Zhuanggong dug into the ground to meet his mother added 36 points of divine power to Xia Pingan's secret mandala. After fusing this boundary bead, the upper limit of the divine power of Xia Pingan's secret mandala reached 2618 points.

The four-yang realm requires 3780 points of divine power. From the three-yang realm onwards, the conditions for the summoner to advance become more and more difficult. This is more than 1,000 points of divine power from the four-yang realm. At least thirty or forty world beads are needed, not to mention The chance of success in fusing these world beads, even if you buy the cheapest world bead, will probably cost tens of thousands of gold coins. More and more boundary beads will be needed later, and the funds consumed will become more and more terrifying.

The elders of the Tang family seem to be the summoners of the Four Yang Realm.

The entire Tang family occupies a city called Dawan, and there are only a handful of Summoners in the Four Yang Realm that can be trained.

Without strong resource support, the Three Yang Realm is already the pinnacle of a lifetime for many summoners.

Xia Pingan got out of bed and moved his body. He looked at the stone wall in the secret room. With a thought, a pen-shaped jade awl appeared in Xia Pingan's hand. The jade awl moved in Xia Pingan's hand. Dragon Snake, in the blink of an eye, wrote a small fist-sized word "dig" in the void and landed on the ground.

A large hole about the diameter of a bucket and half a foot deep suddenly appeared on the stony ground.

This is because Xia Pingan controls his divine power. He only used 1 point of divine power to write a text with the character "dig" and tried it. If he had more divine power, Xia Pingan was afraid that with one word, he would drill a well on the ground and flood the basement. .

Although the secret technique gained from this world bead cannot be used in direct combat, the skill of drilling holes can be of great use if used in the right place.

Thinking of the price of Zheng Zhuanggong's world pearl, Xia Ping'an felt a little distressed. Without financial resources, it was too difficult to support such consumption. Xia Ping'an was not sure whether his gold coins could allow him to persist to the Six Yang Realm.

The news that came hastily is that there is not a single guest who has made a reservation in Zhougong Building today. There is no money at all, and there is no need to waste any more time.

After coming out of the underground secret room, Xia Pingan went to sleep and rested to recharge his batteries.

Xia Pingan didn't know how long he could live with such a peaceful sleep.

The next day, it was still cloudy in Beijing, with a light drizzle...
