22.39

帝潛龍時。命忠書記。叩六丁之靈。求治國之道。出征江南。書記奏云。飛龍之時已至。可速回轅。上然之猶是富有天下。

When the Emperor was in his dragon concealment, he ordered Scribe Zhong to divine with the spirits of the Six Ding to seek the way to govern the state. When campaigning against Jiangnan, the scribe memorialized: 'The time of the flying dragon has arrived; you may swiftly turn your carriage back.' His Majesty agreed, and from this he came to possess the realm.
