Honghuang Mengniang Encyclopedia

Chapter 278
Emperor Zhuanxu of the Gaoyang clan was born in Ruoshui and lived in Qiongsang.She modified the calendar according to the myth of the Nian beast and created the calendar, which led to the Zhuanxu calendar, which stipulated that a year is divided into four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter.This merit attracted Shennong's attention.

So in order to select an heir, Shennong sent her to Chiyou Jiuli to handle political affairs.

After Chi You went to Fenghuang Palace in Wutong Mountain, the Jiuli Clan lost the leadership of the God of War Lord, and gradually began to have some deviations in belief. Because Chi You repeatedly emphasized that the Wu Clan should not focus on cultivating the body, but also be good at exercising the spirit and soul. .So they began to go to extremes, advocating ghosts and gods and abandoning human affairs. Everything was decided by divination. People in every family had someone who was a shaman to do divination.

In order to solve this problem, Zhuan Xu decided to reform religion, personally and sincerely worship the ancestors of heaven and earth, and set an example for the people.Nam Zhengzhong was also appointed to be responsible for offering sacrifices to the heavens in order to make peace with the gods.Bei Zhengli was appointed to take charge of civil affairs to comfort the people, persuade the people to follow the laws of nature to engage in agricultural production, and encourage people to reclaim their fields.Prohibit the activities of the people using divination to gain access to humans and gods, and restore normal order to society.

Shennong saw that Zhuanxu had handled it well, and that he was about to become enlightened, so he passed some scientific foundations to Zhuanxu and asked her to take over the position of co-lord of the human race.

Zhuan Xu has been in power for 78 years, and her cultivation qualifications are not very high. Although she is listed as the Five Emperors, she has only cultivated to the Golden Immortal realm even with the help of merit and luck.In the end, Taibai Jinxing, sent by the Emperor's family, was invited to Tiangong Xianshan and named Gao Wangye.

Before Zhuanxu left, he passed the throne to his nephew Ji Jun, namely Emperor Ku.After Emperor Ku succeeded to the throne, she bestowed favors on everyone, but not on herself. She has good ears and eyes, can understand the situation in the distance, and can understand the subtle things. Majestic, gentle and trustworthy, self-cultivation, the world will submit.

Emperor Ku had two main achievements during his reign.

One is to move the capital to Bo, which saves the people from floods in terms of people's livelihood.Hao is the territory of the monster dog Rong clan, and the flood was raging, so Emperor Ku found a place that would not be affected by the flood for the time being with the help of the high priest. This place is Hao.Emperor Ku led the human race to defeat the Dog Rong clan, and then moved the capital from Xuanyuan City to Haodu.

The other is to establish the solar terms. Before Emperor Ku, although Zhuanxu set up the calendar and established the concept of the four seasons of the year, he only worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. There was no scientific order of time for farming and animal husbandry, which severely restricted Agricultural development and the improvement of people's quality of life.Therefore, according to the science left by Shennong, Emperor Ku explored the celestial phenomenon and the law of phenological changes, divided the four seasons, and guided people to engage in farming and animal activities according to the seasons, which greatly promoted the development of social productivity.A great revolution has occurred in Chinese agriculture, and farming civilization has entered a new era.

Emperor Ku also reigned for 70 years, and passed the throne to the Tao Tang family.That is Tang Yao.

……

When Tang Yao was in power, the floods raged again. In order to avoid the floods, Tang Yao established Taiyuan as the capital of the Tang Dynasty at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, and then Pingyang as the capital.

In the early days of Yao's administration, there was no basic national system. The country was just a tribal union, which was very loose and not conducive to the unified management of the country. Therefore, after Yao accumulated a certain amount of governance experience, he began to establish a national political system. One of the most important ones is Appointing officials according to various government affairs is the first time in the history of the human race to establish a relatively systematic political system, laying the foundation for the emergence of a systematic country.

After Yao came to power, he lived a very simple life, living in thatched huts, drinking wild vegetable soup, and wearing coarse cloth woven from kudzu vines.Always pay attention to the opinions of the people, and set up a "drum of remonstrance" in front of the simple palace gate. Anyone who has any opinions or suggestions to her or the country can beat this drum at any time, and Yao can hear the sound of the drum. , Immediately received and listened carefully to the opinions of the visitors.In order to make it easier for the people to find the imperial court, she also asked people to set up a "slandering tree" on the main road of communication, that is, a wooden pillar was buried, and there were guards next to the wooden pillar. The caretaker will give directions.Because he could hear the opinions of the people in time, Yao understood the sufferings of the people very well.

Tang Yao was very ambitious, and he wanted to create the same achievements as the Three Emperors and be remembered by the world.

However, when she succeeded to the throne, the human race had developed to a bottleneck.Yao's own ability cannot make the race make a leap.So Yao thought of the flood.

Ever since the Heavenly Pillar of Buzhou Mountain was broken, the Tianhe Xuanshui has been raging in floods. After so many years, the flood has become a very difficult problem.With the development of the human race, the human race cannot always hide and avoid the flood as before.

Gradually, the flood became a heart disease for everyone in the human race.

After Yao succeeded to the throne, he thought about how to solve the flood.Then, her achievements must be comparable to those of the Three Sovereigns.

However, Yao himself has no way to do it, and the position of co-lord of the human race needs to deal with complicated affairs.So Yao asked the elders of the princes of the four directions for their opinions, and asked who could manage the flood, and the princes of the four directions recommended Gun.Yao felt that Gun was unreliable, often disobeying orders, and endangering the interests of his own clan, so he was not suitable for this important task.However, the leaders of the princes of the four directions insisted on letting Gun try, so Yao appointed Gun to control the flood.Gun controlled the water for nine years, but not only did he have no achievements, but he also caused heavy casualties to the human race.

However, although Yao did nothing to control the water, she still made great achievements in the development of the human race. In addition, her water control was also out of good intentions.So everyone did not punish her.

Yao reigned for 70 years and felt the need to choose a successor.At that time, someone suggested that she pass the throne to his daughter, but Yao thought that his daughter Danzhu was stubborn and unusable, so he discussed with the chiefs of the four princes and asked the chiefs of the four princes to recommend candidates.The chiefs of the princes of the four directions recommended Shun, saying that he was very filial, handled the family relationship very well, and could influence the family to make them change from evil to good.However, because of Gun's example, Yao decided to investigate first before making a decision.

Yao married his two daughters, Ehuang and Nvying, to Shun, and examined her virtues from the two daughters to see if she could take care of housekeeping.

Shun and Ehuang Nvying lived by the Weishui River and acted according to propriety. Both daughters fell in love with Shun very much and abided by women's morals.Yao also appointed Shun to carry out moral education, and Shun taught his subjects to use virtue to guide their behavior. The subjects were willing to follow her teachings, and generally acted according to virtue.Yao also asked Shun to be in charge of all the officials and handle government affairs. All the officials obeyed Shun's command, and everything was revived without any waste.Yao also asked Shun to be in charge of receiving princes from all directions at the four gates of Mingtang.Shun got along well with the princes, and made them all harmonious and friendly.The princes and guests from afar respected her very much.Finally, Yao let Shun go alone to the forest at the foot of the mountain to experience the test of nature.Shun was able to walk without losing his way in the storm, showing a strong ability to live.

After three years of various investigations, Yao felt that Shun was mature and reliable no matter what he said or did, and could make achievements, so he decided to abdicate the throne to Shun.On the first day of the first month of the first lunar month, she held a Zen throne ceremony in the Taimiao Temple, and officially let Shun succeed her as the co-lord of the human race.Yao retreated to avoid the position. At that time, Taibai Jinxing came to invite Yao to go to heaven to accept the title, but because of his mistakes in flood control, Yao couldn't forget it and refused to accept the title. Since then, he died 28 years later, becoming the only one among the five emperors who died of natural causes. The monarch, the people are mourning, and there is no joy in the world, just think of Yao", the people's memory of him is very deep.

……

……

At the same moment when Shun ascended the throne, a person was born in a place called Shishan in the human race with the sound of a phoenix.

When this person was born, there were colorful merits shrouded in the sky, the immeasurable sea, Wutong Mountain, Xuanyuan Palace, Shennong and Xuanyuan Huangdi were drinking tea, suddenly they all raised their heads, and there was a look of surprise in their eyes.

The two hurried to the Fenghuang Palace, just in time to see Sun Yuan sitting cross-legged in the main hall of the Fenghuang Palace, the list of gods floating in the air in front of him, the word "Yuanfeng" on it gradually blurred, and finally disappeared...

……

"Fellow Daoist Sun Yuan, my second sister..." Shennong couldn't help but make a sound.

"That's right, Fellow Daoist Yuanfeng has finally been born." Sun Yuan replied affirmatively.

Both Shennong and Xuanyuan were overjoyed.

And on a peak of Wutong Mountain in the Infinite Sea, Xuanniao sitting cross-legged, and Kong Xuan and Dapeng behind her suddenly opened their eyes together, looking at each other with tears in their eyes...

……

After Shun came to the throne, the first thing he did was defeat Emperor Yao.On Emperor Yao's tomb, Shun vowed to control the flood in order to worship Yao's spirit in heaven.

However, although Shun was a hero of the human race, he did not have the ability to control floods.Coupled with the busy position of the co-owner of the human race, she has no extra time to deal with the flood.So Shun looked for sages in various places, hoping that some sages could help him control the flood.

However, this search took a full 15 years. In the past 15 years, Shun has recruited a large number of talented people, but they are helpless against the flood.In desperation, Shun could only search secretly while dealing with political affairs.

Shun explained to the vassals the way of governing the country in general, inspected clearly according to their performance, and gave chariots and horses clothes according to their merits. Shun began to divide the world into twelve states, dredged the rivers, and stipulated that the law should be enforced according to the normal punishment. The five punishments of tattooing, nose cutting, amputation of feet, castration, and beheading are lenient. In the government, the punishment is punished with the whip, and in the school education, the punishment is punished with a ruler.

Those who caused negligence due to disasters will be pardoned; those who persist in doing harm will be punished. Chongshan, in order to change the customs of the southern barbarians, moved the three Miao to Sanwei Mountain, in order to change the customs of the Xirong, Shun's deeds were pleasing to the world.

However, although Shun made great achievements in politics, the flood disaster became more and more serious. In the later period of Shun's reign, heavy rains and floods occurred in the famine, and the disaster became more and more serious.

On this day, Shun couldn't bear it anymore, so he brought many warriors of the human race to the East China Sea to worship the heaven and the earth. He waved his sword and said sharply: "The Dragon King of the Four Seas is above, the flood is raging today, and the human race has lost countless lives. If you don't control the flood and stop the flood, we will die The human race is determined to slaughter the Linjia water clan!"

As soon as this remark came out, the world suddenly changed color.

With the roar of the waves, a divine dragon rose up from the sea, and the human race suddenly became nervous.

The dragon did not launch an attack, but looked around at everyone, but it turned out that Ao Chun, the dragon king of the East China Sea, appeared anxiously.

Just kidding, it was because of the words of the human race back then that the monster race has almost no place for the monster race in the prehistoric era. Although there is Xuanyuan Huangdi, the reincarnation of the ancestor dragon, as a backer, Ao Chun does not want to be killed by the human race for no reason. Misunderstand.

Ao Chun said slowly, "Emperor Shun, the co-lord of the human race, don't misunderstand me. This flood has nothing to do with the people of the four seas." After finishing speaking, the Xuanshui of the Tianhe River gushed out from the original Buzhou Mountain The story was told to Emperor Shun.

After hearing what the Dragon King said, Di Shun and the other human races immediately realized that they had wrongly blamed the Dragon King of the Four Seas, and quickly apologized.But he couldn't help being very troublesome, and frowned and said: "Lord Dragon King, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, but can this flood be cured by only five people, and is it destined to destroy my prehistoric human race?"

Thinking back then, Gun was a person with superb Taoism among the human race, and her cultivation was at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal, so the leaders of the four princes recommended her to pacify the flood.Although there are reasons for her personality, Gun did try her best to control the flood, but with her ability, she was retaliated by the flood instead, causing heavy damage to the human race.

In addition, with the raging flood, many monster races also took the opportunity to stir up trouble in the flood and attack and kill the human race.If this continues, the development of the human race will not only stagnate, but sooner or later it will be seriously injured, causing heavy casualties.

Ao Chun has long been instructed by Sun Yuan's disciple Xuanniao, so he said: "There will be a great sage in the human race, who will be protected by the heavens and the earth, respect the order of Taoism, and be able to control floods. At the same time, she will also inherit your common The best candidate for the position of master."

When Emperor Shun heard the words, he hurriedly said, "Master Dragon King, please clarify. If this person can really control the flood, his achievements can be compared to those of the three emperors. I will definitely be willing to pass on the identity of the co-lord of the human race to her!"

Ao Chun said indifferently: "This person is in the stone mountain of Dongsheng Shenzhou, you can go and look for it later."

After finishing speaking, she jumped into the East China Sea again.

After Emperor Shun got the news, he quickly led many human races to the stone mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou to find talents.After inquiring for a long time, one day Emperor Shun got the exact news. Fifteen years ago, there was a phoenix cry from Shishan, and then a fiery red phoenix flew into the rocky mountain from the sky. On this day, a baby was born. .His mother was named Wen Ming, and her surname was Si.

Si Wenming was also named Yu, and people also called her by that.She has shown extraordinary wisdom since she was a child, and the villagers love her very much.

After Emperor Shun heard about it, he hurried to look for Si Wenming.And this Si Wenming will be Dayu of the Xia Dynasty in the future, the last of the five emperors, whose achievements can be compared with the three emperors. She is also the reincarnation of Zhong Yuanfeng, the leader of the three clans.
