Legend has it that Emperor Xuanyuan had twenty-five sons, fourteen of whom received his twelve surnames. It is difficult to study the ancient affairs in detail, but it can be inferred from this that in the tribal alliance directly under Xuanyuan, there were at least twelve large branch tribes.
There are more small branch tribes further down; and receiving the surname Xuanyuan means becoming the leader of one or several of these tribes.
As for the other eleven sons who "didn't get a surname", they may be incompetent and do not have the ability to rule a tribe, or they may have failed in the battle, or they may have died due to various reasons. Among the Xuanyuan disciples, the most outstanding
There are two people, the elder is named Xuanxiao and the younger is named Changyi. They are both likely to be recommended by all the tribes in the land of China and receive the throne of Zen Emperor.
Xuan Xiao and Chang Yi are equally matched in terms of reputation, support from factions, and strength of the tribes they belong to, both within the Xuanyuan Tribe Alliance and among the countries that have surrendered to China.
It is difficult to choose, and if handled carelessly, it may even cause a major split among various tribes in China.
But Emperor Xuanyuan had to choose one more person. He eventually gave the throne to Xuan Xiao, who later became Emperor Shaohao of the Jintian clan. While passing the throne to Xuan Xiao, Xuanyuan exiled Chang Yi to a distant place.
Ruoshui is a river, which is passed down by sound. It is also called Ruoshui. This is of course a place name, not the personal name of Grandma Shui in Shanshui City. The mountains on both sides of the bank are stretching, and there are many beautiful valleys in them. The scenery is picturesque, making it a peaceful place to live in the world.
Therefore, there are many mountains and bamboos on the banks of the Ruo River. The river passes through the bamboo forests in the mountains. The wind-blown bamboo leaves cover the clear water surface, just like covering the Ruo River, and flows into the East China Sea in what is now Yilang City.
Chang Yi and his entourage were exiled to Bayuan, where they lived in a quiet valley on the bank of the Ruoshui River. They lived a very leisurely life, and of course they lived far away from the world and had nothing to do with it.
Why did Emperor Xuanyuan exile his son Chang Yi to Ba Yuan? He did not explain. Later generations speculated that Chang Yi and Xuan Xiao might have been convicted due to their failure in the struggle for the throne. Some experts believed that Emperor Xuanyuan had other deeper meanings.
Bayuan is surrounded by steep and wild wilderness on all sides, and is separated from the land of China by a natural chasm. The Fanshi Kingdom area where Yilang City is located is divided into many small plains by large and small crisscrossing mountains. Until now, there is no connection with the outside world.
Transportation and communication were very inconvenient, especially in the era when Chang Yi lived.
Chang Yi was exiled to Bayuan and still lived in a secluded valley on the bank of the Ruoshui River. It was impossible for the various forces in the land of China to find him again, and it was impossible for him to affect the situation in the land of China. This was a great blow to Chang Yi.
This kind of isolation is also a kind of protection, and it eliminates the biggest hidden danger in the inheritance of the throne.
Changyi changed his name to Ganliu in Bayuan, and later generations also called him Ganhuang or Hanliu. He married a girl from the local Naobu area and gave birth to a son named Zhuanxu. Although he lived a leisurely and worry-free life, he was far away from China in his heart.
I always felt depressed. It was said that Changyi lived in seclusion here and could no longer have anything to do with the land of China, but later someone found him again.
Of course, the only one who could directly find Chang Yi was Shaohao. Shaohao later became an immortal and became the Emperor of Heaven, but I don’t know what Chang Yi’s cultivation level was. It’s possible that he didn’t have any cultivation level, or he might not have achieved great success; and Shaohao found Chang Yi.
At that time, Chang Yi was about to die. Before his death, Chang Yi entrusted his youngest son Zhuanxu to Shaohao.
Shaohao brought Zhuanxu back to the land of China. He not only raised him, but also taught and guided him personally. From the perspective of a monk, Zhuanxu can be regarded as the descendant of Shaohao, so in later generations, there will be "Shaohao's young emperor Zhuanxu"
Legend has it that Shaohao later transferred the Emperor to Zhuanxu, who became the third Yellow Emperor of China, and later became the Emperor of Gaoyang.
Why didn't Shaohao pass the throne to his own son, but went to Bayuan to pick up Changyi's youngest son, personally raised him and cultivated him into a talented person, and then passed the throne to him? Shaohao himself did not have any explanation, and others
We can only guess.
Some people speculate that it may be because Chang Yi was innocently exiled. As his elder brother, Emperor Shaohao, Xuan Xiao, felt guilty for him. Others speculated that the person who felt guilty was actually Emperor Xuanyuan, who exiled his other son to a distant place in order to pass the throne smoothly. Maybe
Before ascending to heaven, he left a will for Shaohao. Only the person involved can know what happened specifically.
But judging from the actual situation, Shaohao passed the throne to Zhuanxu, which ensured the smooth transition of power and the stability of all ministries in the world to the greatest extent. Although Changyi was sent away, the forces loyal to him were still there, and Shaohao raised Zhuanxu.
He promoted him to the throne of emperor and won the support of almost everyone.
Shaohao passed the throne to Zhuanxu, which also left behind a tradition that was stipulated and that no one could explain clearly, that is, the emperor of China was appointed by the direct descendants of the two largest factions in the Yellow Emperor's headquarters in turn. Emperor Zhuanxu of Gaoyang later ascended to heaven.
After he left and opened up the sacred land of the Imperial City, he did not pass on the throne of emperor to his son. In the human world, he was the emperor of the Gaoxin clan.
Emperor Jun is said to be the grandson of Shaohao. It is unclear whether he is his grandson, but he does come from the Shaohao tribe. When Emperor Jun of the Gaoxin clan was in his later years, according to the default rules, it should have been the turn of the descendants of Zhuanxu of the Gaoyang clan.
When he ascended the throne, it was Cangjie who should be accepted as the emperor by Zen at that time.
However, Cangjie had no intention of becoming emperor, and he only held the throne for a few months. He abdicated without even holding a formal enthronement ceremony. And it was precisely because of Cangjie's status as emperor in these few months that he represented Shaohao's branch.
The descendants of Emperor Jun of the Gaoxin family found another excuse. In the process, what kind of fights took place overtly and covertly, Hougang also doesn't know.
In short, after Cangjie gave up the throne of the emperor, the power of the emperor fell into the hands of Emperor Jun's sons. The person who was supposed to inherit the throne was Emperor Jun's son Zhi, who was also called Emperor Zhi in later generations. However, Emperor Zhi's career as emperor was as short as Cangjie's, so that
Many years later, people have forgotten that this man was once the Emperor of China.
Some people say that Emperor Zhi only served as emperor for a few months, some say it was a few years, and some say that Emperor Zhi took the initiative to leave when he heard that he was going to succeed. No one knows the truth. In the end, it was Emperor Zhi's younger brother who let him go.
Xun became the Emperor of China.
Di Zhi used to be Sikong in charge of hundreds of officials. Based on the official system of the Ba Kingdom, he was roughly equivalent to a master of Fu Zheng. Fang Xun had been his brother Di Zhi's assistant since he was fifteen years old, but later he replaced Di Zhi.
This is the current Emperor of China, Emperor Yao. Emperor Yao was only twenty years old when he became emperor. He is now ninety-two years old and has reigned for more than seventy years.
Because Emperor Yao had been in power for a long time, most ordinary people hardly knew about Cangjie and Emperor Zhi. It felt as if Emperor Jun directly passed the throne of emperor to his son Emperor Yao. But after all, Emperor Jun did not really pass on the throne directly.
It's his son, and there's a corner in the middle.
In people's minds, Emperor Yao is the fifth Yellow Emperor after Xuanyuan, Shaohao, Gao Yang, and Gao Xin. But if Cangjie and Di Zhi are included, he is the seventh emperor in the Yellow Emperor lineage.
Now that it is time for Emperor Yao to choose his successor, the disciples of Emperor Yao may also have their thoughts based on the lessons of the past. Emperor Yao has been in power for so many years, and of course he has enough time to cultivate talents in the country, so how could he
Don’t cultivate your own sons. Danzhu may be the most outstanding one among them, but that doesn’t mean that the other emperor’s sons don’t have ideas.
On the other hand, the forces representing another major faction in the Yellow Emperor's headquarters will certainly believe that it is the descendants of the Changyi branch who will be the emperor. For the emperors' sons, the most powerful opponent currently competing for the throne is
It is Chong Bo Gun. Gun is "Zhuan Xu's son". The so-called Zhuan Xu's son does not necessarily refer to Zhuan Xu's son, but it can also mean Zhuan Xu's descendants.
When Emperor Zhuanxu of Gaoyang was on the throne, he set a precedent for future emperors to choose concubines from all over the world. Legend has it that Emperor Zhuanxu of Gaoyang went on tour, and every time he visited an important tribe, he married a woman, and eventually had a huge harem.
This seems to be Zhuanxu's way of governing the country. As long as the tribes from various countries who belong to the emperor, including the important tribes that Emperor Yan originally belonged to, are powerful enough and the influence is large enough, he will accept a woman as his concubine.
This is not only to maintain the stability of the world through marriage relationships, but if these concubines give birth to sons, they will be sent back after Zhuan Xu has raised them to be adults, and will be promoted as the leaders of these tribes or vassal countries, thus gradually integrating them.
It is said that Gun had this kind of origin. He was a descendant of Zhuanxu who married a woman from the Yan Emperor's old tribe. He inherited a tribe with its own fiefdom, and this tribe was also formed by the fusion of the descendants of Yan and Huang. "Bo
"It not only means the eldest son in the family, but also an honorific title for the leaders of various ministries who have been canonized by the emperor. Gun has always been famous and is respected as Chongbo Gun.
When Hougang was a boy, before he was brought to Bayuan by Cangjie, he had heard of the name Chong Bo Gun. At that time, many people said that Chong Bo Gun could inherit the throne of emperor. But now many years have passed.
The situation has undergone new changes, and many forces represented by Danzhu have emerged in the country. Of course, those vying for the throne regard Chong Bo Gun as a powerful opponent.
Emperor Xuanyuan conquered and integrated many tribes at that time, and also integrated many titles and totems. For example, he once established Xiongcheng, using the bear as one of the totems of the tribal alliance, known as the Xiong clan, and later created the Yellow Emperor lineage.
Chong Bogun took the nickname Huangxiong and was named Huangxiong by the emperor. This shows his ambition.
In addition to Danzhu and Chong Bogun, there are of course other factions in the country that support the candidate for the future emperor. In short, in today's situation, the situation is very complicated, and the inheritance of the emperor's position has always been like this, and many are affiliated with China.
The country's power is on the sidelines.
These are what Shaowu learned from Hougang and Lu Zhang respectively. Then it is obvious what the emperor Danzhu wanted. The main purpose of canonizing Bajun first and sending such a precious gift was to
Let Ba Guo stand on his side and help him ascend to the throne of emperor. If Danzhu can really become the emperor of China in the future, Shaowu will certainly get rich rewards.
