Chapter 330 The Era of the Five Emperors ()

Chapter 93 The Era of the Five Emperors ()
After Emperor Ku succeeded to the throne, he bestowed favors on everyone, but not on himself. He had sharp ears and eyes, could understand distant situations, and could gain insights into subtle things.

He conforms to the will of heaven, understands the urgency of the people, is benevolent and majestic, gentle and trustworthy, cultivates himself, and the world submits.

He takes what is of the land and uses it sparingly; he loves and educates the peoples and teaches them all things that are good.

He calculated the movement of the sun and the moon to determine the solar terms of the year, and respectfully welcomed the coming and going of the sun and the moon.He is well aware of ghosts and gods, and serves them prudently. He has a dignified appearance, high morals, his actions are timely, and he behaves 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.

The history books praise it, "The ancestor came from Xuanyuan, the descendant of Xuanxiao, and his name was born. Wood virtue governs the world. He pacifies the world, the gods and the holy spirit, teach the world, and the future will be bright."

It is worth mentioning that Emperor Ku had several sons who were well-known in history. According to legend, Emperor Ku had four concubines, and the eldest concubine was named Jiang Yuan, who was the daughter of King You Tai.

According to legend, when Jiang Yuan was in her natal family, she became pregnant by stepping on the footprints of giants when she went out.

Because he had no husband to give birth to a child, he abandoned the child three times in the deep alley, wild forest and on the ice, and was protected from death by cattle, sheep, tigers, leopards and birds, so he named it "abandoned".

Later, when he grew up, he liked farming and taught people how to grow five grains. He was honored as Houji and became the ancestor of the Zhou nation.

The second concubine, Jiandi, is the daughter of Lord Yousong. According to legend, Jiandi and her sister Jianzhen went to the Xuanchi Hot Spring to take a bath at the autumnal equinox. A swallow flew by and left an egg, which was swallowed by Jiandi, and she became pregnant. It is the ancestor of the Shang family.

The third concubine Qingdu, it is said that she is the emperor's daughter, was born in the field of Douwei, and was adopted by Mrs. Chen Feng's wife. After Chen Feng's death, she was adopted by Yin Changru. Later Qingdu came to Puyang with her adoptive father Yin Changru.

Because Qingdu was always covered by a yellow cloud, she was regarded as a strange woman. Emperor Ku's mother heard about it and persuaded him to accept her as a concubine and give birth to Yao.

The fourth concubine, Chang Yi, is smart and beautiful, with long legs. Her husband and her daughter are called Di Nu, and their son is called Zhi.

Both Zhi and Yao succeeded to the throne and became emperors.

It can be seen from this that Xuanyuan's lineage has spread branches and leaves. Since Xuanyuan passed through the five emperors, Shang and Zhou generations, his descendants have controlled the world. Therefore, many people in later generations respect Xuanyuan as the ancestor of Yanhuang.

……

During Emperor Ku's reign, he was deeply influenced by Daoist Taiyi, who had a gentle temperament. Therefore, Emperor Ku practiced benevolent policies when governing the human race.

Emperor Ku lived with the people internally and stopped fighting externally.

Many barbarians were inspired by it to accept peace, and the human race entered a peaceful and prosperous era.

Therefore, Emperor Ku felt the great virtue of Taiyi Zhenren, and vigorously publicized the teaching, which made the prestige of the teaching in the human race rise again, far surpassing that of the human education.

……

Time flies, and decades have passed in the blink of an eye.

Emperor Ku has been in power for 70 years. Now the world is in great order and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Di Ku has also completed his meritorious deeds. After that, he lived in seclusion in Penglai Pavilion in the East China Sea.

When he left, the merits and virtues descended from the sky, Daoist Taiyi got a share, and his cultivation was directly promoted to the middle stage of Da Luo Jinxian.

Although the five emperors have merits in proving the way, they are far inferior to the three emperors. Daoist Taiyi only got a share of merits, and naturally his cultivation base will not improve much.

However, Di Ku also had selfish intentions, he loved Zhi, the son of his fourth concubine Chang Yi.

Therefore, after he abdicated, he was passed down to Zhi, who had great ambition and lack of talent, but also had a tyrannical nature. He had governed the world for nine years.

Therefore, under pressure from all parties, after discussing with everyone, he abdicated to let Xian and Yao, a disciple of the Western disciple of the pharmacist.

……

Yao is Zhi's younger brother, Yao, whose surname is Yiqi, and whose name is Fangxun. He was named Marquis of Tang when he was 15 years old.

He shared weal and woe with the people in Tang, developed agriculture, properly handled various government affairs, and managed Tang in an orderly manner. He was not only supported by the people, but also praised by many tribal leaders.

Fangxun is the emperor, and the emperor is named Yao. Because he was first conferred in Tang Dynasty, he took Tang as the dynasty name.

This is the first dynasty name in history, and later generations call it Tang Yao.

According to legend, Emperor Yao is as benevolent as the sky and as wise as a god. Approaching him warms people's hearts like the sun, and looking up at him moistens the earth like clouds.

He is rich but not proud, honorable but not indulgent, he wears a yellow hat, black clothes, a scarlet chariot and a white horse.

He can respect people with good virtues, make the nine generations of the same clan love each other, and when the people of the same clan are in harmony, they go to inspect hundreds of officials.

After Tang Yao came to the throne, he reappointed his elder brother Zhi Yu Tang as the Marquis of Tang. He learned from his elder brother Zhi's mistakes, and with the support of his teacher, the pharmacist, he quickly stabilized the human race.

Tang Yao often went deep into the poor villages, went to the mountains and fields to search and interview carefully, asked for talents, investigated political gains and losses, and selected talents for fear of burying talents. It can be said that there are a lot of talents.

With the help of so many talents, the human race prospered under Yao's rule. In the early days of Tang Yao's administration, the astronomy and calendar were still far from perfect, and the people often delayed the farming season.

Therefore, Yao ordered the Xi clan and the He clan to follow the will of heaven, formulate a calendar according to the appearance and disappearance of the sun and moon, and the order of the stars, and carefully teach the people the festivals for production.

The Xi and He clans were in charge of astronomy, and estimated the time and date based on the movement of the sun, moon, and stars, as well as natural phenology, and measured the four seasons.

The moon cycle is one month, the sun cycle is one year, and one year is 360 six days. 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 handle everything properly. Under such governance, the human race once again ushered in a wave of high development.

At this time, Emperor Yao had been in power for more than years, and felt that his merits and virtues were complete, so he wanted to find a great sage to replace the co-lord of the human race.

Therefore, Emperor Yao summoned a group of ministers and asked them who could succeed the co-lord of the human race.

The ministers waited and discussed with each other for a while before replying, "Danzhu, the son of the co-lord, is well-versed in affairs and can take over the position of emperor."

Emperor Yao said disdainfully, "Huh! Danzhu, he is stupid and vicious, and it is not appropriate to use him."

After hearing this, everyone was silent. Dan Zhu was Emperor Yao's most beloved son. Now that Emperor Yao was excluded, everyone suddenly lost the person to recommend.

After a moment of silence, everyone began to discuss the candidate again. In the end, everyone finally reached a consensus and spoke with one word.

"His Majesty the Holy Emperor Xuanyuan has a grandson named Gun. This man has extensive knowledge and extraordinary abilities. He is praised by everyone in the world for his conduct. He is capable of taking on this important task."

When Emperor Yao heard this, he bowed his head and thought for a while, and just about to agree, his heart suddenly moved, only to see Emperor Yao roll his eyes, and then stroked his beard and said, "This person is indeed good, but you should recommend a few more, don't make mistakes."

When everyone heard the truth, they began to discuss again. Suddenly, the minister Siyue said to Yao, "There is a man named Yu Shun who lives among the people. place."

Hearing this, Emperor Yao nodded and said, "Well, I've heard of this person before, but I don't know what it is. If you talk about it carefully, I can think about it..."

Emperor Yao had also heard about Yu Shun, but he didn't know the details. Since there was a minister's recommendation at this time, it could also be included in the scope of consideration, and if he could, he could make a decision.
