Ever since Gun was executed on Mount Yu, endless red snow fell for three days and three nights, and the whole world was in mourning.
The human race believed that this was a grievance between heaven and earth for Gun. Therefore, many states began to consciously disobey Emperor Shun's orders.
In addition, at this moment, the entire human race could no longer find anyone who could control floods. Emperor Shun had no choice but to seek help again.
Unfortunately, the clone of Haizhu previously controlled by Li Qingming was severely injured, and his soul was greatly damaged. After returning from the west, he simply went into seclusion in the Leiyin Temple built in the capital.
Therefore, Emperor Shun was destined to return disappointed.
In desperation, Emperor Shun had no choice but to go into battle himself to control the floods.
Although Emperor Shun was said to have great talents, they were above all in governing the human race. When it came to water control, Emperor Shun knew nine out of ten, but he still knew nothing.
Although he was so busy every day to control the floods that he had no time to sleep, unfortunately floods still broke out frequently. Emperor Shun regretted killing Gun for the first time, at least Gun was quite effective in controlling the floods.
At this moment, the floods are getting worse and worse, and the entire land of China and Kyushu is being ravaged by floods, which is even worse than before.
The harvest of the human race is also getting lower every season, and life becomes more and more difficult year by year. After every hard work, the seeds are always washed away by the ruthless floods.
The human race in China was full of complaints, and officials from various states began to question Emperor Shun's ability to rule. They ignored the orders handed down by Emperor Shun and even burned them directly.
Fifteen years have passed like this, and the life of the human race is still difficult, and they have even regressed back to the Fuxi era. They have restarted a life of eating hair and drinking blood.
Emperor Shun was now helpless to deal with the flood. He had no way to seek help!
Looking at the already embarrassed human race, Emperor Shun felt extremely regretful.
Moreover, in these years, the miserable Emperor Shun had dreamed countless times that Gun turned into a fierce ghost, roaring back and forth beside him, scolding him for indiscriminately killing the heroes of flood control.
Emperor Shun, who had been devastated by nightmares and floods, was on the verge of collapse. In desperation, he could only summon his ministers for discussion.
In the still splendid capital hall, Emperor Shun was dressed in a gray linen robe, with his messy long hair hanging randomly on his shoulders.
After the ministers arrived, Emperor Shun asked eagerly: "My lords, although the demon clan retreated back then, it left behind huge floods. I have been managing for many years, but still no results have been achieved. I am guilty, and I am ashamed of myself.
The late Emperor, I am ashamed of my ancestors of the human race!"
Upon seeing this, all the ministers in the court tried to dissuade them: "Your Majesty, please don't do this. Please don't do this! The Holy Father once said that a gentleman never ceases to strive for self-improvement. Although our human race has suffered a great disaster, we have not been able to survive it after so many years."
Your Majesty, please do not blame yourself..."
"Alas!" After wailing for a while, Emperor Shun regained his composure, looked at the ministers in the palace, and said: "Now that our human race has reached a critical moment of life and death, do you have any good strategies to control the flood?"
At this time, a minister standing in the corner stood up and reported: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! I heard that Dayu, the son of Gun, was quite proficient in water control. Now that so many years have passed, he should be better than his master.
Lan. Why don’t your majesty call him to come and control the floods? If he can achieve results in water control, let him take charge of water control affairs. How about that?"
When Emperor Shun heard this, he felt the boss's reluctance in his heart! Originally, Gun died in his own hands. Coupled with the nightmares that had been accompanying him all these years, this made him instinctively treat everyone and everything about Gun.
They all had an inexplicable resistance and were naturally unwilling to let Dayu come to preside over this matter.
When he thought of this, Emperor Shun's expression turned cold and he said calmly: "Gun has been the official of flood control for many years and has never made any achievements. What ability can his son have? In my opinion, let's forget it. My dear friends, may I
Who else can I choose?"
When all the ministers heard this, they were all silent.
In fact, they all knew it well. The reason why Emperor Shun killed Gun back then was not only because he failed to control the flood, but also had another reason, that is, his great achievements shocked the master! He was afraid that Gun would steal his position as co-leader.
Since Emperor Shun ascended the throne, although he treated the people kindly, his prestige among the human race was somewhat insufficient.
On the other hand, Gun is a descendant of Zhuanxu and the great-great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor. First of all, he has firmly surpassed Emperor Shun in terms of fame. In addition, for many years, Gun has personally dealt with floods during floods. This has also caused the common people to suffer.
We know the name of the Yellow Emperor's great-great-grandson, Gun, but we don't know the name of our co-lord, Emperor Shun.
His great achievements shocked the Lord, which was also the main reason why Gun was executed!
When Emperor Shun saw that all the ministers were silent, he sighed and said, "In this case, we will discuss this matter later."
After saying that, he got up and walked towards the back hall.
When the ministers saw Emperor Shun leaving, they all dispersed.
Returning to the apse, Emperor Shun began to think quietly, thinking about the monstrous flood; he thought about Gun who was killed by him; he thought about Gun's son Dayu recommended by the minister; and he thought about the thousands of suffering human beings.
After being silent for a long time, Emperor Shun finally made a decision in his heart.
After all, it concerns the entire human race. If Dayu really has the talent to control floods, he must be allowed to control floods.
Thinking of this, Emperor Shun ordered people to inquire about Dayu, so as to use him as a basis.
But it is said that Dayu was taken away directly by the original Tianzun when he was born. After teaching him for nine years on the East Kunlun Mountains, he took Dayu to the Jishui River and found Gun's wife Nuxi, who raised her on his behalf.
During the nine years, Dayu not only practiced techniques, methods, formations, weapons, and elixirs, but he was also instilled with many methods of transformation and the art of emperors.
Later, when Dayu heard about his father Gun's incident, he was determined to avenge Gun's shame and quell the flood. Therefore, he also deliberately kept the ancient landforms placed in the middle of the Shangqing Palace in his heart.
Where are the mountains, where are the rivers, where are the plains, where are the basins... As long as there are terrains on the sand table, he is familiar with them all.
Emperor Shun ordered people to inquire about Dayu's life story, and soon after, attendants kept coming to report back. As his understanding of Dayu became more and more profound, Emperor Shun became more and more confident in leaving the matter of flood control to Dayu.
However, Emperor Shun always had doubts in his mind, so he summoned the ministers who recommended Dayu that day and asked: "Last time you recommended Dayu as the person to control the floods. After thinking about it carefully, I think it is feasible. However, I can never
Have you ever heard that Gun had an heir?"
The minister smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this Dayu was not born to Gun's wife Nvxi, but was obtained by caesarean section after Gun's death!"
Emperor Shun was stunned when he heard this, and his face turned pale as a sheet. After a while, he asked: "Is there really such a weird thing?"
The minister said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be afraid! I think there are many such things in our human race. Holy Emperor Fuxi was conceived when his mother stepped on the giant thunder seal, Holy Emperor Shennong was conceived when his mother saw the golden turtle, and Holy Emperor Xuanyuan was conceived.
The emperor was even conceived because his mother felt the stars entering her belly. The fact that Yu was born so strangely shows that he was born extraordinary!"
Emperor Shun believed that this was indeed the case. He felt relieved and ordered Dayu to come to the capital to discuss matters. (To be continued...)
