Legend of the Great Desolation

Chapter 62 Dayu Succession
In the 33rd year of Emperor Shun's reign, he officially recommended Yu to heaven and abdicated the position of emperor to Yu. Seventeen years later, Shun left during his southern tour.With the support of the princes, Yu officially became the emperor, with Anyi (now Xia County, Shanxi) as his capital, and his country was named Xia.The enfeoffment of Danzhu in Tang Dynasty and the enfeoffment of Shangjun in Yu.The calendar was changed to take the month of Jianyin as the first month.In the process of water control, Yu traveled all over the world and knew the terrain, customs, and products of various places like the palm of his hand.Yu re-planned the world into nine states (namely Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou, and Yongzhou).And formulated the tribute varieties of each state.He collected all the copper in the world and cast it into Jiuding, as the symbol of the Lord of the world, it will forever affirm the aura of Kyushu.

Yu paid special attention to the combination of kindness and power, and strengthened education.There is a tribe in the west called Youhu, who are warlike and unwilling to serve Xia.Yu adopted the strategy of conquering with troops while educating with virtue and politics, and achieved good results, so that the Youhu family finally surrendered to Xia.The southeastern region was called "Jiuyi" in ancient times, which means nine large tribes.In order to strengthen his rule, Yu visited the area several times to spread the culture and ethics of the Central Plains, and was respected and treated by the local people.Along the way, he asked the local people about the customs, encouraged farming, announced the farming time, sowed grains, and educated the tribal chiefs to teach etiquette, know the law, and live in harmony without bullying the weak.At the same time, it was announced that if there are those who do not listen to the education, they will be punished by soldiers, and they will never be polite.At that time, Fangfeng, the chief of the ancient Yue tribe, always wanted to dominate one side. He claimed to be the leader of each tribe of the Yue people, and refused to obey Yu's orders.Yu ordered him to be executed in public at the Miaoshan Conference, and left his body for three days.The princes and Fang Bos from all over the world knew that they would not dare to offend King Yu again.Those clans and tribes who did not attend the court meeting with King Yu heard about this, and they also paid tribute to the Xia Dynasty and proclaimed their ministers.

Because Yu was the leader of the Xia tribe active in the Chongshan area, he was called the Xiahou clan. Yu also stipulated that the area five hundred miles away from the capital was called Dianfu, the area five hundred miles away was called Houfu, and the area five hundred miles away was called Houfu. The inside is called Suifu, the further five hundred miles is called Yaofu, and the outermost five hundred miles is called Huangfu.Dian, Hou, Sui three clothes, into different goods or undertake different labor services.You have to serve, you don't accept anything to serve, you only need to accept discipline and abide by the legal system and government orders.The deserted clothing is managed according to its customs, and the Chinese and Korean politics and religion are not enforced.

Dayu, who became the master of the people, worked more diligently for the benefit of the people, sincerely recruited scholars, and listened to the opinions of the people extensively.Once, when he went out and saw a sinner, he got out of the car to greet him and wept.The entourage said: "The sinner has done bad things, why should you pity him!" Emperor Yu said: "During the time of Yao and Shun, people had the same heart and mind as Yao and Shun. Now I am the emperor, but people's hearts are different. How can I not feel sad?" Yidi made some wine, and after drinking it, Emperor Yu felt that the taste was very mellow, so he ordered Yidi to stop making wine, saying: "The future generations will definitely perish because of wine."

Not long after Yu succeeded to the throne, he elected Gao Tao as his successor and gave him full power to handle government affairs.After Gao Tao's unfortunate death, he elected Boyi as his successor to be in charge of government affairs.In his later years, Dayu wanted to pass on the title of co-lord to Gao Tao, but Gao Tao died before Dayu.Later, it was designated as Boyi who had made great contributions to assisting Dayu in water control, but Dayu's son Qi refused to accept Boyi after Dayu's death.Finally, the rebellion overthrew Boyi.After Qi ascended the throne, he announced the establishment of the Xia Kingdom. In terms of choosing a method for the common masters of the world, he announced that the family system of father death and son succession would replace the public system of meritocracy.From then on.Honghuang officially entered the slave society, and the primitive society was gone forever.

During this period of time, in order to enjoy the sacrifices of the human race, the three religions often received the master of the human race under the name of the immortal, such as Zhuanxu, Di Ku, Yao, Shun and other people who disappeared strangely. pick up.Because of the sage's confession, those disciples preaching in the human world did not dare to cause trouble at will, and clashed with others indiscriminately. The three worlds were peaceful, and it was rare to be peaceful for many years.

During the reign of Xu, Di, Yao, Shun and Yu, the five people made certain contributions to the enlightenment of the prehistoric peoples.However, its far-reaching influence is far less than that of the emperor Fuxi, the emperor Shennong, and the emperor Xuanyuan.Later generations ranked Xu, Di, Yao, Shun, and Yu as the "Five Emperors" after the Three Emperors.That is, the names of "Three Emperors and Five Emperors" and "Three Emperors and Five Emperors" in history also represent people's admiration for the abdication system in ancient times.

But Heaven is not so happy. After all, there are more monks in the human race, but the high-level power is not enough. After all, no matter how suitable the human race is for cultivation, the time is too short. Even if there are human race masters, they will return to the holy land of the human race among.So Haotian and Yaochi were both very troubled, not to mention the last time Xingtian broke into the Heavenly Court and almost destroyed the heavenly court that Haotian and Yaochi had worked so hard for. Although Xingtian was repelled in the end, it was still a heavy loss.After discussing with Yaochi, Haotian decided to go to Daozu, and begged Daozu to let the disciples of the three religions listen to them.After Haotian put on a Taoist uniform, he left the Heavenly Court and went 33 days away.But after a while, he arrived outside the Zixiao Palace. After all, Haotian had been a boy in the Zixiao Palace for countless years and was very familiar with the path.After Haotian hurriedly saluted and explained his future intentions, Daozu Hongjun said: "You go back first, I know what you are." Then Haotian returned to the heavenly court.After Daozu Hongjun sent out a few letters, he closed his eyes and meditated here.After receiving the message from the Taoist ancestor, the saints did not dare to neglect, and immediately set off for Zixiao Palace.

After all, he is a saint, so the speed is so fast, he arrived in Zixiao Palace in the blink of an eye, saw Daozu Hongjun sitting there, and after the ceremony, he got on his futon.Daozu Hongjun sat high on the futon, and after all the saints finished their salutes, he said expressionlessly: "The robbery will start now, and there will be a battle of conferring gods in a thousand years. You should prepare early!" One list and one whip said: "This is the list and the whip of the gods in the book of heaven. After the person who can replace the gods appears, this list and this whip will belong to that person. Laojun, you are the head of the Sanqing. As the leader of the human religion, this list of conferring gods and the whip of beating the gods are entrusted to you to keep." "Yes" I respectfully took the list of conferring gods and the whip of beating the gods from Hongjun's hand, and carried them in his arms.Yuanshi Tianzun saw that Lao Tzu had obtained the list of gods and asked like Daozu Hongjun: "Dare to ask the teacher, what is the matter with this god?" Thousands of years later, it coincides with the catastrophe of the gods. All the three religions are in the catastrophe. However, there is a glimmer of life under the way of heaven, and the list of gods is set up. If anyone among the three religions dies in this catastrophe, a trace of true spirit can be lost. Entrusted to the list, after the catastrophe is over in the future, he can be named Zhou Tianzheng God and be served by the heavenly court!"
