Rebirth of the Great Wilderness, I shall mention it

Chapter 62 Yao and Shun Govern the World
Zhuanxu married the Wu clan and married Jiufeng as his wife.In order to promote the development of the Datong world, Zhuanxu never married again in his life, treated Jiufeng kindly to help the Wu clan, and made great contributions to the integration of the two clans.During Zhuanxu's reign, he vigorously developed farming and water conservancy, and helped the people of the two ethnic groups develop great prosperity.During Zhuanxu's reign, the fusion of the two clans also carried out a lot. Although he didn't make great achievements like Xuanyuan, he also proved to be the Five Emperors.Although the merits of the five emperors are not as great as those of the three emperors, they are not small.Since he accepted Zhuanxu as his disciple and taught Zhuanxu, Zhunti also received nearly [-]% of Zhuanxu's merits of teaching and transforming the human race.

In the end, Zhuanxu abdicated the position of co-lord of the human race to his younger brother Gao Xin as Emperor Ku.Gao Xin was born with aura, and he called out his own name when he was born.He generally bestows favor on all but not himself.He has sharp eyes and ears, can understand the situation in the distance, and can gain insight into subtle things.He complied with the will of heaven and understood the urgency of the people.Benevolence and majesty, gentleness and trustworthiness, self-cultivation, the world will obey.He collects the products on the land and uses them frugally; he caresses and educates the people and teaches them all kinds of beneficial things; Know ghosts and gods, and serve them carefully.He was handsome and of high morals.He acted in season and acted like a scholar.Emperor Ku governed the people, just like the rain watering the farmland, spreading all over the world, wherever the sun and moon shine, and wherever the wind and rain come, there is no one who disobeys and submits.

At this time, since the Three Sovereigns had already been established, and the Five Sovereigns could not rely on the merits gained from governing the human race to achieve immortality, and their prestige among the human race was not comparable to that of the Three Sovereigns, so the saints only sent their disciples to the lower realms preaching without sending disciples, taking them as disciples, or assisting them.

When Emperor Ku abdicated in old age, Zhi, the son of his wife Xi Zi's daughter, succeeded him as the co-lord of the human race.However, Zhi died of illness within a few years after taking office, and everyone had no choice but to elect Fang Xun, the son of Di Ku's other wife Chen Feng's daughter, as his successor.After Fang Xun took over as the co-lord of the human race, he changed his name to Yao.

During Yao's reign, he practiced a benevolent government and followed Zhuanxu's example to implement the Datong policy for the human and witch races. After Zhuanxu came to power, the human race and the witch race ushered in another fusion.

Later, Yao saw that although the current people's life and work were guided by the timekeeping method formulated by Xuanyuan Renhuang, it was still insufficient.Under his order, the ministers formulated the original calendar according to the law of sunrise and sunset and the distribution of stars in the sky, and guided the people to produce and migrate according to the solar terms.The length of a year is determined to be 360 ​​six days, and a leap month is set to adjust the four seasons.On the vernal equinox, the day is as long as the night, and the star in the Suzaku seven constellations appears in the south when it is first fainted, and the time of mid-spring is determined accordingly.At this time, the people dispersed their work, and the birds and beasts gave birth and mated.He also ordered Uncle Xi, who lives in Nanjiao, to arrange the summer farm work step by step, and do it carefully.On the day of the summer solstice, the day is the longest, and the heart (also known as the big fire) of the seven constellations of the Canglong appears in the south when it is first fainted, and the time of midsummer is determined accordingly.At this time, the people live in high places, and the feathers of birds and beasts are sparse.He also ordered Hezhong, who lives in Xitu, which is called Shibuya, to send the sun down respectfully, and arrange the autumn harvest step by step.On the day of the autumnal equinox, the night is as long as the day, and the virtual night among the seven constellations of Xuanwu appears in the south when it is first fainted. Based on this, the time of Zhongqiu is determined.At this time, the people moved to the flat land, and the birds and beasts regenerated.He also ordered Uncle He to live in the north, which is called Youdu, and carefully arrange the winter collection.On the day of the winter solstice, the day is the shortest, and the Pleiades, one of the seven constellations of the white tiger, appear in the south when they first faint, and the time of midwinter is determined accordingly.At this time, the people went into the house to keep warm, and the birds and beasts were covered with fine hair.There are 360 ​​six days in a year, and the method of setting the leap month is used to correct the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.Emperor Yao sincerely warned all officials to keep their duties, and all kinds of things were done.

With the passage of time, Yao gradually aged.In order to be able to choose a suitable successor, Yao began to conduct extensive research and selection among the human race with the ministers.Later, the ministers recommended Chonghua, a descendant of Emperor Zhuanxu, to him.

Although this Chonghua is a descendant of Emperor Zhuanxu, his family background is very humble and he is in the lower class of society.Chonghua's father was a utterly confused man, and people called him Gusou (meaning blind old man).After Chonghua's biological mother died, he married another wife and had a son named Xiang.Chonghua's stepmother was very harsh, and Chonghua was born with double pupils, so his stepmother treated him very badly. .The stepmother's younger brother, named Xiang, is so arrogant that he can't be said, but Gusou dotes on him very much.Chonghua lives in such a family of "the father is stubborn, the mother is arrogant, and the elephant is proud", but he treats his parents and younger brother very well.Therefore, everyone thinks that Shun is a man of good character.

After hearing what the ministers said about Chonghua, Yao decided to inspect Chonghua.He married his two daughters, Ehuang and Nvying, to Chonghua. He also built a granary for Chonghua and gave him a lot of cattle and sheep.When the stepmother and younger brother saw each other, they were both envious and jealous at the same time, and together with Gusou, they plotted against Chonghua several times.

Once, Gusou asked Chonghua to repair the roof of the granary.When Chonghua climbed up to the roof of the barn with a ladder, Gusou set a fire underneath, trying to burn Chonghua to death.When Chonghua saw a fire on the roof of the warehouse, he wanted to find a ladder, but the ladder had disappeared.Fortunately, Chonghua carried two hats for sun protection.Holding his hat in both hands, he jumped down like a bird spreading its wings.The hat fluttered in the wind, and Shun landed lightly on the ground without being injured at all.

Gusou and Xiang were not reconciled, and they asked Chonghua to dig a well.After Chonghua jumped into the well, Gusou and Xiang threw pieces of earth and rocks on the ground to fill up the well, trying to bury Shun alive in it.Unexpectedly, after Chonghua went down the well, he dug a tunnel beside the well, got out, and returned home safely.Xiang didn't know that Chonghua had already escaped danger, so he returned home triumphantly, and said to Gusou, "This time, my brother must be dead. I came up with this clever plan. Now we can divide my brother's property." After speaking, he walked to the house where Chonghua lived.Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the room, Chonghua was sitting by the bed and playing the piano.Xiang was secretly surprised, and said embarrassedly: "Hey, I miss you so much!" Chonghua also pretended to be nonchalant, and said: "You came just in time, I have a lot of things, and I need you to help me take care of them." From then on, Chonghua still treated his parents and younger brother kindly and kindly as before, and Gusou and Xiang didn't dare to plot against Chonghua again.

After Yao knew about it, he confirmed that Chonghua was indeed a person of good moral character and quite capable, so he gave Chonghua the position of co-owner of the human race.

After Chonghua took over, he was also industrious and frugal, working like ordinary people, and was trusted by everyone.After a few years, Yao retired and disappeared. Chonghua also wanted to give up the position of co-lord of the human race to Yao's son Danzhu, but the ministers did not agree.Only then did Chonghua officially become the co-lord of the human race. Afterwards, like Yao, he changed his name to Shun, and everyone called him Emperor Shun.

During Shun's reign, the calendar was revised, and a grand ceremony was held to worship the saints, the four seasons of heaven and earth, and the gods of mountains and rivers; he also collected the letters of the leaders of each tribe, and then selected an auspicious day to summon the leaders of the tribes from all over the country. , A grand ceremony was held to re-issue Xingui.Afterwards, Shun patrolled various places, offered sacrifices to famous mountains, summoned tribal leaders, and inspected the people's conditions; he also stipulated that he would patrol every five years to inspect the achievements of the princes, set rewards and punishments, and paid attention to the connection with the local area, so as to strengthen the rule of the local area.

Later, Shun appointed Gun as Sikong to manage water and soil; Qi as Houji to be in charge of agriculture; Qie as Situ to promote enlightenment; Remuneration; Ming Chui is in charge of "Gonggong", and all craftsmen can do their best; Mingyi is in charge of "Yu", in charge of mountains and forests; The music officer is in charge of music and education; Minglong Dan is the "nayan" responsible for issuing orders and collecting opinions.It is also stipulated that the political performance shall be inspected once every three years, and the promotion or dismissal shall be determined by the results of the three inspections.Through such rectification, Shu Ji Xianxi, all work has a new look.

Shun also asked people to draw the shapes of five punishments on the utensils to serve as a warning; exile was used instead of corporal punishment to show leniency.But whipping, punishment, and redemption are also set up, especially for criminals who refuse to repent, they must be severely punished, and the bad guys will be punished, and the people of the world will be convinced.

Since then, the merits of Emperor Shun have been honored in the four seas, and the world's morality has started from Emperor Yu, presenting an unprecedented situation of peace.
