Chapter 94 Five Emperors Age (Three)

After hearing Yao's words, Siyue nodded and replied, "Shun lives in a family environment of 'father', mother's humble mother, and elephant'. His father, Weisou, is a blind man with a bad mind, and his stepmother is both faced with him.

The younger brother is rebellious, and a few people colluded with each other and would try to kill Shun before he could. However, Shun was very filial to his parents and was very friendly to his younger brother. He has been doing well for many years without any slacking off.

When Shun was trying to harm him, he escaped in time. If there was a slight improvement, he would return to them immediately.

As much as possible, he has such an unfortunate life experience and such a bad environment, but Shun can live in harmony with his family, perform filial piety and brotherhood, and manage his family well so that they will not go to evil."

After hearing this, Yao pondered for a moment and said, "Then I'll try him first!"

...

Emperor Yao, who was determined to test Yu Shun, married his two daughters Ehuang and Niaoying to Shun, and observed his virtues from his two daughters to see if he could manage housekeeping well.

Shun asked them to live at home by the Gui River and abide by the way of being a wife.

Both women were very fond of Shun and abide by the moral character of his wife. Shun made pottery, which could motivate people around him to work hard, strive for excellence, and eliminate shoddy manufacturing.

People are willing to follow him wherever he goes, so they live in a gathering place (climbing is a village), in a town in the second year, and in a third year (four counties are capitals).

Yao was very happy to learn about these situations, so he gave Shun a robe (Xiaoge Buyi) and a zither, cows and sheep, and built a warehouse for him. The slaughter still wanted to kill him, and conspired with his family and plotted against Yu Shun many times.

But Shun was always able to survive miracles as if he was blessed by God. Even so, Shun was still as good as before, behaved in his parents, befriended his brothers, and be more respectful.

In this way, after testing Shun's character, Yao began to let Shun come into contact with government affairs. Yao asked Shun to take the position of Situ and be responsible for promoting moral education. Shun taught his subjects to the "Five Codexes".

That is, the five virtues of righteousness of father, kindness of mother, friend of brother, respect of brother, and filial piety of son, guiding one's behavior. Subjects are willing to obey his teachings and generally act in accordance with the "Five Codexes".

Yao also asked Shun to take charge of all officials and handle government affairs. All officials obeyed Shun's command, and revitalized everything, and it was completely organized and unconventional.

Yao also asked Shun to receive the princes who came to pay homage to the four gates of Mingtang. Shun got along well with the princes, and also made the princes harmonious and friendly. The princes and guests from afar respected him very much.

Finally, Yao asked Shun to go to the forest at the foothills alone and endure the test of nature.

Shun was able to avoid losing his direction in the storm and thunderstorm, and still walk, showing strong ability to live.

After many tests, Yao saw Shun's extraordinary talent and noble character. Shun was finally recognized by Yao, so Emperor Yao ordered people to prepare to pass on the position of the Communist Party to Shun.

...

During Emperor Yao's reign, he promoted Western religion a lot, but the effect was not very good.

As early as before the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Three Sects of Ren Chan had already begun to preach the human race. The Three Sects occupied a vast area and had many human races, so most of the human races knew about the Three Sects.

However, Western religion is limited to the Western continent. On that barren land, there are only a few tribes and not many people.

Although there was propaganda from Emperor Yao this time, Western religion was too remote compared to human race. Fortunately, some people still believe in Western religion, which also made Western religion prosper in the East.

Shun's master was the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit under the sect of the Tongtian Sect of Jie Sect. As for the great disciple of Jie Sect, Taoist Duobao, he was arranged by Tongtian as the last master of the Human Emperor.

After Shun ascended the throne of the common ruler of the human race, the Holy Mother of Jinling naturally accompanied him to help him solve his worries and teach him how to practice.

With the support of Jie Sect, Emperor Shun began to let go of his actions, starting with the stars.

Emperor Shun used the observation of the Big Dipper to examine whether there were any abnormalities in the movement of the five stars of sun, moon, gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

Then a temporary ceremony was held to pay homage to the saints, and a ceremony to burn the offerings on the fire to worship the four seasons of heaven and earth, a ceremony to worship famous mountains and rivers, and a wide range of gods were widely worshipped.

He collected the five jade talismans, including Huan Gui, Xin Gui, Gong Gui, Gu Bi and Pu Bi, held by the fifth-class marquis of Duke, Marquis, Bo Zinan, and Bao Bi, and selected the auspicious day of the good month, summoned the four mountains and the governors of the states and prefectures, and awarded them to them.

Shun went to the east to visit. When he arrived at Mount Tai, he used a firewood to worship Dongyue and a remote sacrifice to worship famous mountains and rivers everywhere.

Immediately afterwards, he summoned the princes of the East to coordinate and correct the four seasons of solar terms, the size of the month, and the A and B of the day, and unified the standards of rhythm and length, capacity, and weight.

Cultivate five rituals: good luck, bad luck, guest, army, and good fortune. It stipulates that the princes use five kinds of gui walls, three kinds of colored silk, and the nobles use two kinds of animals: lambs and geese.

The scholar used the dead pheasant as a gift for the court, and the five kinds of jade jade were returned to the princes after the court ceremony.

Shun generally stated the ways of governing the country to the princes, conducted a clear investigation based on their achievements, and gave chariots, horses and clothes based on their merits. Shun began to divide the world into twelve states and dredge rivers.

It is stipulated that the law should be enforced according to normal punishments, and the five punishments of tattooing, cutting the nose, cutting the feet, castration, and beheading are simplified. The government uses whips to punish the government and the university uses rulers to punish the government for education.

Those who cause mistakes due to disasters will be pardoned; those who refuse to accept evil and insist on harm will be punished. At this time, Sanmiao in the Jiang, Huai River Basin and Jingzhou area have been in chaos many times.

At this time, Shun inspected and exiled Guandou to Chongshan in order to change the customs of the Southern Barbarians and migrated Sanmiao to Sanweishan in order to change the customs of the Western Rong. Shun's actions were pleasant to the world.

However, there were unexpected situations in the sky. In the late period of Shun's reign, heavy rains and floods occurred in the prehistoric world, and the disasters became more and more serious. This time it was not the dragon clan who was causing trouble, but the real natural disaster.

Shun was not very proficient in this, and as a last resort, he handed over the important task of controlling the water to another great wise man of the human race, Gun.

Gun's father was Emperor Zhuanxu, Zhuanxu's father was Changyi, and Changyi's father was Huangdi.

Gun was both famous Manchus and was a powerful candidate for the position of the Human Emperor. Unfortunately, they all became ministers for Zhi. As a result, after Emperor Yao became the co-lord of the human race, he was deposed.

When Gun was young, he was taught by a god and learned a lot of skills. Since he received the task of controlling water, he worked diligently and hardworkingly. However, even if Gun was strong, he would be very strong.

How could a mere man stop this unparalleled flood? Even if the human race gathers together to work together, it cannot withstand this terrible natural disaster.

However, Gun was still obsessed with this matter. After receiving the order from Emperor Shun, Gun packed his luggage and went to control the water with everyone.

Gun adopted the method of blocking the river, using Nuwa and Niangniang who left the human race after creating humans, creating embankments, and the mountains forced the Yellow River to return to their positions, blocking the river to store water, giving people a source of irrigation for agriculture.

Although the flood was temporarily calmed down, it was not direct for a long time.

Ten years later, the flood broke out again, and it was even more fierce than before. The human race suffered heavy losses for a while, and Gun was beheaded by Emperor Shun for this reason.

After Gun died, a baby was born in his body, which was saved by Taoist Duobao, the eldest disciple of Jie Cult.

Duobao handed over Yu to Gun's wife to raise. After knowing about his father, Yu decided to avenge his previous shame and quell the floods for his father, so he ran around to find good solutions to the water.
