"I think the term 'a promise that carries weight like nine tripods' you just mentioned can still be further examined," Cheng Nuo joined the conversation at this point.
He wasn't usually the kind of person who liked to express his opinions in everyday life.
The atmosphere of the conversation between Zong Ji and Meng Xin Zhi was so inviting that Cheng Nuo couldn't wait to join in.
"How so?" Zong Ji turned around.
He had been planning to drag Cheng Nuo into the conversation, had Cheng Nuo not made it clear he preferred being an audience member.
"The phrase 'a promise that carries weight like nine tripods' is probably related to the legend of Yu casting the nine tripods. It's unlikely to pertain to the Zhou emperor using several tripods while eating," Cheng Nuo added:
"After the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, the Nine Provinces were stable, the four seas were peaceful, and the nation was rich and the people secure."
