In the previous article, the small story of Yu Shun, the protagonist of the ancient reality version of the Farming Literature, Yu Shun,was told, and this one talked about Shun's ascension to the court.
In the previous part, Shun was heavily treated by Yao, marrying two daughters to him, and putting nine sons together with him to observe Shun's internal family governance and external reception. After the murder of his father, stepmother, and half-brother could not succeed, after escaping with wisdom, he carried out the five kinds of indoctrination of "fatherly righteousness, motherly kindness, brotherhood, brotherhood, brotherhood, and filial piety" in the court, managed hundreds of officials, and was diligent and beneficial.
This article talks about Shun's ascension to the court.
Emperor Shun
1. Promote goodness
Once upon a time, there was a Gao Yang clan, and his family had eight sons with both moral integrity and ability, which the world called "Eight Kai".
There is also a Gao Xin clan, and his family also has eight outstanding sons, known as the "Eight Yuan". They were not reused during the Yao period, and Shun recommended them.
Shun put Bakai in charge of agriculture and was responsible for various administrative affairs, and Bakai did a good job. Shun put Bayuan in charge of promoting the five kinds of indoctrination in the world, so people all over the world revered fatherhood, motherhood, brotherhood, brotherhood, and filial piety.
2. Punish evil
Once upon a time, there was a Di Hong clan, and his family had a son who was not a weapon, he was unkind and unjust, sinister and vicious, and committed evil deeds, which the world called "chaos".
The Hào clan also had an unruly son who disliked honesty and loyalty and whitewashed evil speech, which the world called "poor qi".
The Moksha clan also had an unruly son who did not accept the lesson and did not know good words, and the world called him "HanZhuo".
The people of these three families are worrying to the world. And the Yao period did not get rid of them.
Jinyun also has an unfinished son, who is greedy for food and goods, which the world calls "gluttony".
gourmand
The people of the world hated him so much that they juxtaposed him with the three evil men above.
When Shun received the guests at the four gates, he exiled their four fierce families and sent them to a remote place to defend against demons and ghosts.
So the world was at peace, and the people said that there were no more evil people in the world.
3. Broad-circuit speech, appointment of talents
When Shun did not get lost in the dense forests of the mountains and storms, Yao knew that Shun was the person he could entrust to the world. When Yao was old, Shundai Yao toured the world. Twenty years after Shun was put in power, Yao asked Shun to take over the office of the Son of Heaven.
Eight years after Shun Dai Yao exercised the authority of the Heavenly Son, Yao died. At the end of the three-year mourning period, Shun gave way to Yao's son Danzhu, and everyone in the world ran to join Shun, so Shun took the throne.
Shun opened the four gates, let the four dialect roads open, and ordered the twelve governors to discuss the virtues of the Son of Heaven, to practice virtue, far from the villains, and the barbarians all submitted.
Shun sent Yu to govern the water and soil; sent Ren to be in charge of agriculture; sent Qi to serve as a situ to promote ethical indoctrination; sent Gao Tao to judge punishment; and sent Chui to serve as a co-worker and steward of the fortifications. Shun Paiyi served as yu officials to manage the grass, trees, birds and beasts, and had Zhu Hu and Xiong Qi as his assistants; Pai Boyi served as the rank of emperor and presided over the ceremonies; Pai Kui was in charge of music and poetry to educate the people; and Pai Long served as Na Yan and read out Shun's will.
Shun sent twenty-two men to obey the commands of heaven to help govern his subjects.
Yu
Among them, Yu's credit is the greatest, Phi Jiu Shan, Tong Jiu Ze, Decisive Jiu He, Ding Jiu Zhou. He opened up nine mountains, dredged nine lakes, governed nine great rivers, and demarcated the boundaries of Kyushu. He composed the song "Nine Moves", which attracted the phoenix to soar.
During his tour, Shun died in the countryside of Cangwu and was buried in the Lingling Tombs of the Nine Ridges Mountain.
The Era of the Five Emperors is finished in this article.
The Yellow Emperor, Emperor Huan, Emperor Zhao, Yao, and Shun are all surnamed and are all family members, but they use different national names. The Yellow Emperor called you Xiong, the Emperor called Gao Yang, the Emperor called Gao Xin, Yao called Tao Tang, and Shun called Youyu.
After the Five Emperors began the Xia, Shang, and Wednesday dynasties. After Yu was called Xia, he changed his surname to Ji (姒氏). The descendants of Qi established shang, with the surname Zi. The descendants of the abandoned were established as Zhou, with the surname Ji.
Next, I will continue to update the content of the "History of Xia Benji" to introduce the story of the Xia Dynasty written by Sima Qian.
