438. How to lose the flying dragon riding the face?(1/2)
Dayu took the position of the Emperor from Emperor Shun, so Emperor Shun was naturally not so willing to do so.
However, because Dayu's reputation among the human race was too high, Emperor Shun could only endure it and let Dayu put him under house arrest.
Unfortunately, Dayu died too early.
Emperor Shun did not dare to do anything before Dayu was alive. Now that Dayu is dead, he doesn't have so much concern. In this case, he will definitely not want to see the position of the Human Emperor fall into Qi's hands smoothly.
However, when Emperor Shun abdicated the throne to Dayu, Emperor Shun knew that he was forced, but others did not know. Therefore, on the surface, Emperor Shun abdicated the throne of the Human Emperor to the more virtuous Dayu. Therefore, it was impossible for Emperor Shun to come out to compete for the throne of the Human Emperor again. He could only find a way to choose a person and help him and Qi compete for the throne of the Human Emperor.
Although Emperor Shun's reputation and influence in the human race were far inferior to Dayu, as the former human emperor, he still secretly controlled a powerful force.
He believed that knowing that finding a suitable candidate and his support would definitely defeat Qi.
It is true that this is not beneficial to Di Shun himself, but as long as the emperor's position is not allowed to continue to fall into the hands of Dayu's descendants, Di Shun will be satisfied.
As for this suitable candidate, Emperor Shun finally chose Bo Yi.
Bo Yi was a minister of Dayu.
When Dayu was controlling the flood, Bo Yi kept following Dayu. Later, Dayu became the Human Emperor, and Bo Yi became Dayu's most capable assistant. When Dayu was busy casting the Nine Cauldrons of King Yu and building the Jiuzhou barrier, most of the government affairs of the human race were handled by Bo Yi.
In this case, when Dayu died early, many people even felt that Dayu might abdicate the throne of the Human Emperor to Boyi.
However, Dayu finally chose to pass the position of the Human Emperor to his son Qi.
Most people say they can understand this result.
After all, Qi is also a person with outstanding abilities.
Although Qi was not as experienced and worked hard and made great contributions like Bo Yi, he was the son of Dayu after all.
Even a person as great as Dayu will still be a little selfish.
However, in Di Shun's view, the position of the Human Emperor, which was originally within reach, was lost. Even if Bo Yi didn't say it on the surface, he would definitely feel dissatisfied.
In this case, as long as he incites Bo Yi slightly in Bo Yi's ear, Bo Yi will most likely want to regain the lost position of the Human Emperor from Qi.
So Di Shun did that.
In fact, Bo Yi was indeed moved.
You should know that since ancient times, the abdication of wise men has always been the mainstream of the inheritance of the human emperor.
Whether Fuxi abdicated in Shennong, Shennong abdicated in Xuanyuan, or Shaohao abdicated in Zhuanxu, Zhuanxu abdicated in Emperor Ku, Di Zhi abdicated in Emperor Yao, and even the most recent Di Yao abdicated in Emperor Shun, Emperor Shun abdicated in Dayu, they all followed this unspoken rule.
In this long human history, the only exceptions are Xuanyuan's abdication in Shaohao, and Emperor Ku's abdication in Di Zhi. The two times are considered as the successor of the father and son. However, even these two times, both Shaohao and Di Zhi are actually outstanding in their talents. Therefore, even if the father and son are inherited, it cannot be said that they are not abdicated and capable.
Therefore, in Boyi's view, Dayu should also be passed down to the wise and capable people after his death.
Looking at the human race, besides the human emperor Dayu, the person who can be called a great sage is naturally his Boyi.
As an old minister around Dayu, Bo Yi can be said to have worked hard and made great contributions and held a high position, which is very suitable from any perspective.
Therefore, when Dayu had a problem with his body and was likely to die young, although Bo Yi was sad and jealous of the talented people, so that a hero like Dayu was about to leave the world so early, he also felt a little undetectable joy.
Dayu died early, and there was no one in the human race who could compete with him, and Dayu's son Qi did not have enough qualifications. From this perspective, as long as Dayu died, the position of the Human Emperor could be said to be his.
However, what Bo Yi never expected was that Dayu actually passed the position of the Human Emperor to Qi before his death. Even because of Dayu's long-term prestige, no one in the human race opposed it!
Having said that, whether to pass the throne to Boyi or to Qi is actually not a choice for Dayu.
Because he was busy controlling the flood in his early years, and later in order to avenge Yao and Shun, Dayu basically did not fulfill his responsibilities as a husband and a father, which made him feel full of guilt towards Nu Jiao and Qi.
In this case, as long as Qi is not the kind of incompetent person, Dayu will definitely pass the position of the Human Emperor to him.
But this made Bo Yi very dissatisfied. It was just because of his long-term respect for Dayu that he did not show it.
Now, Di Shun suddenly ran to Bo Yi's ear and said that he was the most suitable person to become the Human Emperor. To be honest, Bo Yi was indeed moved.
He respects Dayu, but he doesn't really appreciate Qi.
In his opinion, Qi was useless compared to him, and the only thing worthy of praise was the identity of Dayu's son.
How can such an enlightenment lead the human race to continue?
Therefore, under the instigation of Emperor Shun, Bo Yi convinced himself that he was just for the future of the human race, not for his own selfish desires.
In this way, with the help of Emperor Shun, Bo Yi secretly connected some people, and joined forces with the Youhu clan to raise an army to rebel.
The Youhu clan is a powerful tribe within the human race. The tribe has extremely stubborn ideas and has always adhered to many ancient traditions of the human race.
When Dayu seized the throne of the Human Emperor from Emperor Shun, Youhu's clan opposed Dayu and even fought on both sides.
However, Dayu's achievements in controlling the flood were too great. Coupled with Dayu's various performances after becoming the Human Emperor, Youhu finally recognized Dayu as the Human Emperor.
Now that Dayu passed the throne to Qi, Boyi easily told Youhu to stand on his side.
In this way, Boyi and Youhu clans rose up to rebel at the same time. For a while, because of Boyi's reputation, people from all over the human race also gathered in response and had a huge momentum.
Under such circumstances, many people think that Qi is probably going to lose the position of the Human Emperor.
However, everyone underestimated it.
Or rather, they underestimated Dayu.
As a hero and a man who has experienced all kinds of hardships, when Dayu passed the throne to Qi, how could he not consider Di Shun, who was imprisoned by him and his left gang and right arm Bo Yi?
The reason why he kept Di Shun and Bo Yi was just to temper the Qi.
In other words, Emperor Shun and Bo Yi were the whetstones left by Dayu to Qi.
In addition, Dayu still had the idea of cherishing talent for Bo Yi.
He felt that if Qi could conquer Bo Yi, he would be a big helper.
In this case, Dayu must have left a backup plan for Qi, leaving enough power to deal with Emperor Shun and Bo Yi.
Therefore, when Boyi and the Youhu clan launched a rebellion, the momentum seemed very great, Qi quickly responded.
Although Bo Yi and Youhu clan rebelled at the same time, the Youhu clan was far away in the sky, and Bo Yi was right in front of him.
Therefore, Qi did not care about the rebellion at the beginning, but instead concentrated his strength to directly attack Bo Yi in front of him.
Although Bo Yi has a high reputation among the human race and has support from Emperor Shun, Qi is the designated successor of Dayu.
If Bo Yi really joined forces with the Youhu clan, he might be able to resist the current Qi, but the fact is that the Youhu clan's army has not arrived yet.
In this case, facing the army led by Qi, Bo Yi was defeated without organizing any effective resistance.
However, after defeating Bo Yi, Qi did not take Bo Yi for himself as he had expected.
He directly killed Boyi's Qiqiqi, and then vowed to attack Youhu clan.
Bo Yi died, and Youhu clan had strong strength, but he also lost the righteousness of continuing to confront Qi.
In the end, Youhu was also defeated.
Qi, this young human emperor proved his ability by defeating Bo Yi and Youhu. For a moment, there was no more objection in the world.
As for Di Shun, as the former human emperor, although Qi could not kill him like he did when dealing with Bo Yi, a glass of poisoned wine made the senior who was secretly causing trouble end his voice.
After that, Qi took advantage of his prestige to defeat the Youhu clan and became the first Xia.
Since then, the end of the abdication system has been officially announced, and the human race has also ushered in the first unified dynasty - the Xia Dynasty.
Well, that's right, just the Three Qings gathered all the disciples to hold a meeting and preached Taoism, so many things happened to the human race.
When Ye Xiao learned about these things through the underworld, he was in a bad mood.
This is too fast, right?
If we follow this rhythm, wouldn’t the God of Congregation be right in front of us?
Moreover, the situation of the change of human emperors within this human race seems to be a little different from what he knows!
Are there so many intrigues?
But you can say nothing, this finally makes me feel like the successors in later generations fought for the throne to death.
So, it’s not that the ancients were nobler than later generations, but that the external pressure was too great before, and the human race had no room for internal fighting.
After all, it was already very difficult for the human race to deal with external threats at that time. If there was another internal strife, wouldn’t it be a quest for death?
Now the threats from the human race are basically gone, so the essence of keen on internal strife has been exposed.
Of course, it doesn't mean that they are wrong in doing so.
Everyone has the right to pursue what they want, whether it is power or anything.
Moreover, such a struggle can at least ensure that the person who becomes the Human Emperor will have sufficient abilities and means. Therefore, as long as the internal struggle can be solved neatly, don’t drag the entire human race into the quagmire of internal struggle, this may not be a bad thing for the entire human race.
But this Jiuzhou barrier...
To be honest, although there were legends about this aspect in later generations about the Jiuzhou barrier, Ye Xiao didn't take it seriously.
Because in his opinion, this thing may appear under other worldviews, but in the prehistoric world, the chance of appearing is not high.
After all, under the prehistoric world view, although the human race is the protagonist of heaven and earth, it is actually more like a tool.
The real protagonists are actually those powerful people who are powerful enough to destroy the world.
In this case, it is a bit unrealistic to expect the human race to create a Jiuzhou barrier that can suppress all monks in the territory.
You should know that the territory of the human race is so large, what level of power can we need to suppress all monks within such a large area?
