The emperor asked this, how could Lord Jinwu say no? Even if he kills Bo Yi now, it will not change his situation as the king who destroyed the country. The most important thing for him is to successfully restore the country in the future.
Lord Jinwu immediately kowtowed and said, "Of course I am willing! Thank you very much, Emperor, and all the kings in the world. I hope you will not forget your promise today! ... But may I ask, Emperor, how should I judge Bo Yi's actions?" His tone unintentionally softened a lot.
.
Lord Sanmiao, the leader of the Jinyun tribe, said: "In an emergency, Lord Boyi collapsed the Great Long Mountain. Although nearly two thousand innocent people lost their lives, if he had not done so, the losses to the Central Plains would have been incalculable.
This move has done great service to the country and has been kind to all the people in the world. If the emperor punishes and punishes people for this, it may be inappropriate."
Master Huandou said reluctantly: "Whose order did Bo Yi do this? Why didn't the people of Longxi know it beforehand? Although it seems that he has contributed to the country today, if he always acts so recklessly with the magic bow in his hand, who would dare to
Guarantee that it won’t become a serious problem for the country in the future?”
This sentence is so heartbreaking. The more than 20 tribes present have just had their heads killed by Bo Yi. Although Bo Yi cannot be accused of this, who among the people present is not worried that the same thing will happen to them?
?I just want them to second Huan Dou and request punishment for Bo Yi, but they are really not easy to speak, and to be honest, they don't dare to speak.
Emperor Yao asked again: "Master Chongbo, you are the minister of water control in China, and the plan for water control comes from you. How do you explain this?"
Chong Bo Gun was also present today. He came in the body of differentiated form and spirit. His original immortal body is still in the sky above Ba Yuan. Chong Bo Gun left his seat and replied: "Master Bo Yi did not intend to kill innocent people indiscriminately, it was just a matter of fact."
He was in a hurry. When I learned of his decision, there were only two days left, so I could not lead all the people to move in time. I knew this for sure, but I could not stop it."
When Chong Bogun said these words, although he did not bear all the responsibilities for Boyi, he could still be regarded as helping him bear a small half. Chong Bogun did not tell the whole story. He not only knew the matter for sure, but also failed to do so.
He told Bo Yi not to do it, but Bo Yi didn't listen to him at all.
If Chong Boyun said that he had no prior knowledge, he could indeed absolve himself of responsibility, but that would not be true; if he said that Boyi was "acting against orders," then in this situation, Boyi would probably have to bear the responsibility, which is tantamount to
Chong Bo Gun, the minister of flood control, complained. So Chong Bo Gun took the initiative to share part of the responsibility, saying that he knew about it but failed to stop it.
Huandou immediately said: "Master Chongbo is also responsible!"
Boyi finally said coldly: "I am responsible for what I do and it has nothing to do with Lord Chongbo!"
Emperor Yao sighed and said: "Let's look at the merits and demerits of Lord Chong Bo based on his achievements in water control... As for whether Lord Boyi deserves to be punished and how much punishment he deserves, what do you think?"
Emperor Yao pushed the problem to all the kings in the world. Everyone looked at each other and could not speak first. In the end, Kunwu, the leader of the Chongchen tribe, said: "Master Boyi's actions should be punished as a warning, but we can discuss them in the court."
, it is not as good as conviction and punishment. This is not the case that Lord Boyi insists on killing innocent people indiscriminately, just to save the people of the Central Plains.
If we talk about personal enmity, he did have a personal enmity with the Jinwu Kingdom and the Huandou Tribe! But if the emperor punished him for this, who would dare to make a decision when the flood comes? All the kings in the world here should be grateful to Lord Bo Yi, and
How can you open your mouth to discuss his crime? I think the emperor should not punish him, but he should also punish him and warn him."
Emperor Yao: "Then according to Lord Chongchen's words, how should I punish Lord Boyi?"
Kunwu: "Kunwu dare not speak falsely in front of the emperor and the kings of the world. This matter arose due to water control, and the emperor summoned all the kings to discuss it. The person who liaises with all the ministries of the world in the court and is the mediator is Mr. Chonghua. You might as well listen.
What does Lord Chonghua say?"
The emperor and all the kings looked at Chonghua, and Chonghua had to say: "Everyone is afraid of Lord Boyi's magical bow. If he acts wantonly, it may cause great disaster in the future. If he wants to be punished, please take it back temporarily."
The divine bow given by the late emperor punished Lord Boyi to return to his clan and reflect on his mistakes."
The princes from all the ministries all spoke one after another: "I would like to follow Lord Chonghua's advice!"
The magical bow in Bo Yi's hand was given by Emperor Yao's father, Emperor Jun. Boyi later became Emperor Jun's son-in-law. The reason why Emperor Yao married his sister to Boyi was of course to win over this man.
China's No. 1 God of War, this is the most typical political marriage.
Now taking back the divine bow given by the late emperor is a punishment for Bo Yi. Although there is no actual punishment, its symbolic meaning is very important. Over the years, the divine bow has become a symbol of Bo Yi, representing his invincible power.
With what he did, withdrawing the divine bow showed a certain attitude of the emperor. In this way, no one can say that the emperor did not punish Bo Yi.
To all the princes in the world, in fact, Bo Yi without the divine bow is still Bo Yi, and who can afford to offend him? But Lord Chonghua’s second suggestion touched everyone’s heart. Some of the princes here,
If I were to face Bo Yi alone in another situation, I would probably have cramps in my calves.
Bo Yi was too scary. In a short period of time, he had beheaded more than 20 kings, big and small. It was simply more terrifying than the flood!
In the face of a sudden disaster, all monarchs actually have difficulties. To implement the emperor's orders and the alliances between the ministries, no matter whether the monarch is reluctant or not, he must at least get the understanding and support of his subordinates. The situation is very complicated. If Bo Yi continued
On behalf of the emperor, he inspects and supervises all ministries in the world. Many people will not sleep well at night.
It was not easy to punish Bo Yi in the court, so the punishment proposed by Mr. Chonghua seemed to everyone to be the most appropriate. But Emperor Yao frowned slightly and said: "I can take back the divine bow given by the late emperor for the time being, but if Ming Bo
Master Yi returned home to reflect on his past mistakes, who can patrol the world and supervise all ministries?"
Chonghua said again: "I recommend Danzhu!"
Many people present also said: "I also recommend Danzhu!" Most of these people are affiliated with the descendants of Shaohao, and the loudest one among them is Huan Dou, who just cried the most miserably.
Danzhu's prestige increased greatly after the southern tour that year, but since the Southern Rebellion, Danzhu's prestige has been greatly damaged. Fortunately, Chonghua served as an angel to calm down the disputes and restore the situation. Now he finally has an opportunity, but
Let the emperor re-enable Danzhu.
Touring the world, supervising all ministries, paying attention to both kindness and power, there are too many favors and means. This is also a good opportunity to make friends with all the ministries in the world and gain their support. Emperor Yao finally relaxed his brows, nodded and said: "Then I will follow the invitation of all the kings.
He appointed Danzhu and gave him the Qinglong Yunchaan."
Having said this, Emperor Yao turned to look at Bo Yi and said: "Master Bo Yi, are you satisfied with this handling?
Bo Yi's expression showed no sign of satisfaction or dissatisfaction. He immediately stepped forward, bowed, took out the divine bow, placed it in front of the emperor's case, and said: "Here is the divine bow given by the late emperor. Please take it back. Since the emperor has discussed it with all the kings, it has been decided."
, Yi will return to his clan."
Emperor Yao said in a gentle tone: "The divine bow is only temporarily taken back. The person who is qualified to control this divine bow will still be Lord Boyi in the future. This return home is not only to make you think about your mistakes, but as the leader of the emperor, you can also be better."
Haodi led his people and worked together with all the kings in the world to control the floods."
Bo Yi: "I understand, so I'll take my leave now!" After saying that, he turned around and left, not even waiting for the end of the court meeting.
Jinwujun, who had been silent for a long time, spoke in a trembling voice: "Many of the tribesmen who died because of Boyi are still living with their families. If you want to take personal revenge against Lord Boyi, does the emperor think it is right or not?"
All the kings were silent. Bo Yi collapsed the Long Mountain, causing the death of many innocent people, but many of their relatives were still alive. For example, Master Huandou in the court had a son-killing feud with Bo Yi. Emperor Yao actually had no answer.
, since it is a personal feud, it is difficult to bring it up to court, and even if it needs to be dealt with, it can only be dealt with on a case-by-case basis, but such a thing has not happened yet.
Bo Yi himself spoke in time to relieve the emperor. He was about to walk out. At this moment, he turned around and said: "Avenging personal revenge for relatives, is there any right or wrong? The emperor cannot stop it in advance. The people I kill, the hatred I have made,
If Mr. Jinwu wants revenge, come with me!" After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the palace.
Jinwujun didn't dare to follow him out. He had the courage to ask those words in public. He was already covered in cold sweat and his legs were weak. With his small body, if he went out to seek revenge against Bo Yi now, he would not wait to be crushed to death.
Well!
In fact, after Emperor Yao promised that all the ministries in the world would try their best to help him regain his kingdom, Lord Jinwu no longer wanted to talk anymore, but there were some things that he had to say out loud, as the ancestor of Jinwu had repeatedly warned him in advance.
What was discussed at the meeting was how to deal with the Gonggong clan. As soon as Mr. Chonghua announced the punishment decision, Mr. Huandou and Mr. Jinwu came out to accuse Bo Yi. After Bo Yi left, everyone had to continue the discussion. They could not just punish that person.
The more than 1,000 Gonggong tribe members and the 70,000 to 80,000 tribesmen in the former Gonggong Ministry territory must also be properly arranged.
Mr. Chonghua proposed to confer three more uncles. These three uncles are all newly independent leaders among the former Communist Party members. They control the largest number of tribesmen and occupy the largest territory. They must
Provide timely and appropriate comfort.
Now the leaders of these three forces are eager to confirm their status and seek help from the Emperor of China. This is the best time to canonize and divide their new territories. Moreover, now that the flood is approaching, so many people from the former Communist Ministry can also provide
A large amount of manpower and material resources are needed to help control the water. All of this requires someone to be responsible for directing and implementing it.
When Mr. Chonghua raised this matter publicly at the court meeting, the relevant parties had already discussed it in private, including the three leaders' respective territories and the tribesmen to whom they belonged. The general scope had basically been determined.
When the emperor canonizes Bojun, he must also divide his tribal territory. According to Chinese etiquette, this cannot be changed under normal circumstances. If you want to occupy territory and other interests outside the officially canonized territory, you have to find other ways.
For example, the Jinyun tribe's tribal territory is clear and cannot be changed easily without major reasons. Changes must also be confirmed by the Emperor of China and all ministries in the world. Therefore, Sanmiao must use other means to encroach on the benefits of the former Gonggong Ministry's territory, such as
Buying land and slaves at low prices in private names, or a more indirect way, is to make some small tribes dependent on the majority of Jinyun.
But no matter how we do it, the benefits left after the Ministry of Public Works withdraws the title cannot be taken by any other tribe alone. The emperor of China cannot leave a vacuum of power and governance, so it is necessary to enshrine a few more princes and make clear distinctions.
their tribal territory.
Most of Gonggong collapsed into multiple forces. These three leaders want to take advantage of the chaos and establish their identity as Bojun recognized by all the ministries in the world. Of course, they must get the support of their allies. One of them is secretly supported by the Jinyun tribe, and the other
Among the five major ministries of the people, there is another person who was personally supported by Mr. Chonghua.
The Chongchen Ministry also wanted to support someone, but unfortunately they were on the same side as the Gonggong Ministry and could not find a suitable candidate. The matter had been raised publicly in the court, and it was almost ready to be decided. Unexpectedly, the Chongchen family
Lord Kunwu stood up again and made another suggestion. He recommended another person to the emperor as Bojun, and divided the territory.
Lord Xiling present was shocked, because the one Kunwu recommended was actually Huwa! Looking at everyone's expressions, including Chonghua and Hougang, they were all surprised. It seemed that no one knew about this discussion beforehand.
Kunwu proposed that the area of more than a hundred miles adjacent to the former Gonggong Department and Chongchen Department should be turned into a new tribal territory, and Huwa should be ennobled as his uncle. As for the reasons, he gave several reasons.
First of all, when Emperor Danzhu was patrolling the south, Lord Fengxian had already made great contributions to the country by exposing the "Gu God" conspiracy. Secondly, when Master Chonghua was adjudicating the war conflicts in the south, Lord Fengxian came to the scene to help the ministries find out the truth.
, once again made meritorious service to the country.
Finally, there is another reason. I think that in order to provoke a conflict between Chongchen and the people, the Communist Party of China's Ministry of Public Works slaughtered the Benliu Village clan. The Benliu Village clan was the slaves of Fengxian Jun. The Ministry of Public Works should plead guilty and pay compensation.
.Now that the Gonggong Ministry has withdrawn its title, a piece of its original territory can be divided and canonized to Lord Fengxian.
However, Fengxianjun Huwa's status is special. He is already a king of a subordinate country, and the country he rules is far away. It is a bit unreasonable to inexplicably come to the original Gonggong land to own a piece of Bojun's territory. And it is a bit unreasonable.
Kunwu had long expected that this point might be questioned, so he told the situation first and pointed out that this was not without precedent.
Huwa is now the king of Fengxian Kingdom, but he still enjoys the fiefdom of Pengshan and the title of Pengkeng clan in Ba Kingdom. This time Fengxian Lord led the people of Ba* to prevent and control floods, and on many occasions he still used his identity as Lord Pengkeng clan.
.What Ba Jun can do, why can’t the Emperor of China do it? You might as well follow this special case.
Master Kunwu of the Chongchen clan solemnly declared: Fengxian Jun Huwa has made great contributions to China several times, and the Ministry of Public Works should compensate him, so he deserves this title.
There were originally several small tribes living in that territory. Due to geographical constraints, they were unable to attach themselves to the Jinyun tribe, and at the same time they did not want to attach themselves to the three newly independent monarchs. After "communication" and "persuasion" from the Chongchen tribe,
The tribesmen who have agreed to become Master Peng Keng's family respect the Immortal Lord Huwa as their head.
As for how the Chongchen tribe persuaded and how those small tribes agreed, Kunwu certainly did not elaborate. He just announced the matter and then asked the emperor to canonize Huwa and have it recognized by all the kings in the world. (
