Sure enough, Wang Yong became interested as soon as he heard what Chen Yang said.
"Actually, it's not difficult to tell you. It's just that what I've researched now is a bit weird, and I'm not sure if it's right, so I'm very careful not to tell others. I'm afraid it will mislead others, you know?
"
"I understand!" Chen Yang said seriously, "In scholarship, we all make bold assumptions, but we have to be careful to verify them and we can't make random assumptions, right?"
"Yes, that's what I mean!" Wang Yong nodded in agreement, "Since you want to listen, it's not that you can't speak, but... anyway, just listen to it for fun, don't take it seriously."
"Definitely!"
"This is Xia Yu's flood control. Our legends say that floods are endless. If they are not controlled, farmers will not be able to farm. Not only will they have no food, but their homes will be washed away, right?"
Chen Yang nodded.
"Actually, we have been thinking about a question. You said that Yao, Shun, and Yu all abdicated. As the last monarch to abdicate, why did Yu suddenly change to a hereditary system? Of course, there are some records in the Bamboo Annals
, there is also something about the fighting inside, which is not as good as we imagined before. Let’s put these aside for now. Let’s just say that in the historical data that are now recognized, the three of them all abdicated. Why didn’t they abdicate when they got to Yu? Just change it.
Has it become hereditary?"
Chen Yang was startled: "Social development is related to..."
Wang Yong looked at Chen Yang amused: "High school history or political science?"
Chen Yang said awkwardly: "Professor Wang, I'm not a great professor. I don't know that much. That's what everyone else says anyway..."
"There is a certain truth to this, and I dare not say it wrong, but why didn't he give in when it was in his hands? Based on Dayu's performance when he was controlling the floods, what do you think of him?"
"A generation of wise kings!" Chen Yang said, "Didn't ancient emperors use the three of them as metaphors for saints?"
"That's right!" Wang Yong nodded and said, "That's why it's even more strange. You said that if Yu was really a person who only cared about his own family regardless of the overall situation, he couldn't have risked his own life to control the floods and still failed to enter the house three times."
Chen Yang narrowed his eyes.
It’s a little strange!
"It was mentioned in the Bamboo Annals..." Wang Yong saw that he had almost exaggerated the atmosphere, and then he said mysteriously, "It was said that Dayu discovered something strange when he was controlling the floods!"
"Weird?" Chen Yang's heart moved, "What is different?"
"I don't know!" Wang Yong shook his head and said, "This is what is written in the Bamboo Annals. This kind of abnormality may even be the cause of frequent floods. However, Yu turned the tide and survived. It seems that he has the ability to deal with the abnormality.
So after Xia Yu controlled the floods, he was abdicated by Shun and took the position of tribal leader. Later, he changed the abdication to hereditary and started the Xia Dynasty."
"But he has mastered the ability, why should he change it from abdication to hereditary..." Chen Yang thought for a while and felt that something was still wrong.
"So I'm making another guess, is it blood?" Wang Yong pondered and said, "After Yu mastered the ability to deal with aliens, will his descendants also know about it? If it's just technology, Yu can pass on
When it comes to others, you have to be optimistic about who you are. You can pass on your skills to him and then give up your position to him. But he didn't do that. Does that mean that only his bloodline can do this?"
Chen Yang woke up suddenly.
After all, Wang Tong has been studying this aspect for many years, and many things have been sorted out by him after years of guessing, so he can see far more clearly than Chen Yang.
"This... is possible." Chen Yang was a little excited.
Wang Yong’s strange statement is very close to the world he sees now.
"Because only those with his bloodline can deal with that alien, Yu simply made his son the leader of the next generation!" Wang Yong said again, "So they Xia became the first generation."
Chen Yang pondered.
If this is the case, then what exactly are the differences they face?
A mortal?
"Professor, you have been researching for so many years, so do you have any guesses about the strange things...that is, what Dayu discovered when he controlled the floods?"
"I can't speculate on this!" Wang Yong shook his head and said, "It's been too long, and the Bamboo Chronicle thing is too difficult to decipher, and many things are said in very general terms. Even if you understand it, it's just a simple sentence.
, without details, you can’t speculate again at all.”
Chen Yang nodded, this is what the ancients wrote, there are no details.
"By the way, apart from here, is there any other place where the statement about Dayu's flood control can be confirmed?"
"There is no confirmation!" Wang Yong shook his head and sighed, "That's why the bamboo chronology is weird. The things recorded on it are isolated cases and self-contained. Apart from this, there is no other historical data that can confirm it.
So now we don’t dare to treat the things inside as official history.”
Chen Yang said oh, he seemed to have gained something from this trip, but the gain was not that big.
"By the way, I told you what I discovered. Can you introduce me to it now?"
"Of course!" Chen Yang said, "You can prepare now, and I will take you there."
"Ah?" Wang Yong was startled, "There's no need for an investigation or review, can I go now?"
"Of course you can go!" Chen Yang said with a smile, "Let's go, get in the car, I will take you there. By the way, you have to prepare some clothes."
Wang Yong was so happy that he quickly went in, changed his clothes, and followed Chen Yang.
Arriving in the car, Wang Yong looked at Chen Yang and asked, "By the way, can you tell me now what they are studying?"
"Did you know that Emperor Qin merged the world's golden swords and cast twelve golden figures?"
"Nonsense..." Wang Yong laughed and was about to say something when he was suddenly startled, "Is it related to this matter? Is it a golden man?"
Awesome!
Chen Yang couldn't help but click his tongue, this guy is really awesome, he guessed it with just such a sentence.
"Yes, we have found a golden man." Chen Yang said, "Professor Liao and the others are studying this thing."
"What a great discovery!" Wang Yong shouted happily again, "Oh my god, what is going on? I didn't expect to hear such news before I die. I have to go and see, I have to go and see
look……"
Chen Yang laughed.
Soon Wang Yong was brought inside.
When Wang Yong saw the golden man, he almost went crazy.
Fortunately, other professors caught him.
"Don't get excited. We only have three days to observe. Don't make trouble. If you make trouble again, don't come in."
'I'm not making trouble, I'm just excited, so I'll join in right away!'
