After twenty years of hard work, they opened up countless mountains, dredged countless rivers, built countless dams, irrigated countless farmlands, raised fish and shrimp and other water conservancy projects. Yu completely turned flood hazards into benefits.
Finally, these floods were formed into countless rivers, and all the rivers in the world flowed to the sea. Finally, the flood control was successful and the floods were eradicated. The land that had just receded from the flood was too wet, so Yu gave the money to the people to plant seeds and taught them to grow rice.
Because the human race is now extremely powerful, this flood was originally led by the demon clan, but now those of them who know the situation of the human race do not dare to show their faces, leaving only a few ignorant little demons, who were also strangled by Taoist Duobao and his junior brothers.
Without Wuzhiqi and without the obstruction of the high-level demon clan, Dayu's flood control became extremely smooth. The ordinary demon clan, especially the opponents of Jiejiao disciples, over the past few years, Dayu opened roads in nine mountain ranges in order to control floods.
, diverting nine large rivers. No matter how much water flows in the wilderness, the water can be poured into the East China Sea through the rivers, perfectly solving the flood problem.
At this point, Yu's merits in controlling floods were complete. Because of his merits in controlling floods, people respectfully called him "Dayu", or "Great Yu", to express their gratitude to Yu.
After Dayu succeeded in controlling the floods, he naturally gained a great reputation among the human race, even surpassing the current co-lord Emperor Shun of the human race. For a time, Shun was extremely jealous of Dayu. Although Gun did not die because of him, it was also because he did not stand up to him.
The pressure caused Gun's death, and he felt a little guilty towards Yu, but also had other feelings.
After Yu succeeded in controlling the flood, the first thing he did was to seek justice for his father. At the banquet, he told the story of his father's injustice and asked Emperor Shun to adjudicate his father's injustice. This put Emperor Shun in a difficult position. After all, he executed Gun.
It was an order given by him, the Human Emperor. Even if it was caused by public anger, it was still an order given by him. Once he vindicated Gun, wouldn't that mean that he, the Human Emperor, had wronged a good man and was incompetent? He couldn't help but turn his head and look at
The Turtle Spirit Holy Mother beside me.
Holy Mother Guiling was also caught off guard by Yu's actions. She didn't know what to do for a while, so she had to turn to his senior brother for help, hoping that Taoist Duobao would find a solution.
After all, this is a matter of Jiejiao, and Duobao would not embarrass Emperor Shun, let alone persuade Yu to give up this matter. At this time, Duobao's eyes lit up and he stepped out and said.
"Human Emperor, no one is a sage. He has no faults. He knows his faults and can correct them. There is no great good. Why do you have to worry about it? If you issue an imperial edict to show your sincerity, I believe that the common people in the world will not blame you.
On the contrary, I will think that you are a wise king who dares to admit your mistakes, and I will respect you more. What's wrong with that?"
Emperor Shun was overjoyed after hearing Taoist Duobao's words and quickly stood up and bowed to Taoist Duobao.
"Thank you for your advice, uncle. Shun understood it. Now he will issue an edict to punish himself and inform the world to redress Gun's injustice."
Emperor Shun's edict on sin can be said to be the first of its kind in the world. Although it has no merit, it is a representative who dares to admit his mistakes. He has left a good reputation of knowing his mistakes and being able to correct them. He is respected by the world. It can be said that he has gained both fame and fortune. In his heart, he feels sorry for the person who proposed this proposal.
The cheap master uncle admired him even more.
Yu was not very happy when he got what he wanted. In the end, he just returned to his home and enjoyed the family happiness that he was supposed to enjoy.
Although Emperor Shun gained both fame and fortune, he didn't like Yu at all, which extended to his position as co-master. Although Yu's master was Taoist Duobao, the chief disciple of Jie Jiao, he was not the same as Shun's master Jin Ling Sheng Sheng.
Shun came from the same sect, but Shun did not want to pass on his position as co-leader of the human race to Yu. He even attributed the success of water control to the help of ghosts and gods during the ceremony to worship ghosts and gods, weakening Yu's credit.
When Emperor Shun was about to complete his merits, he did not list Yu as a candidate for co-master. Instead, he prepared to pass the position of co-master of the human race to his son Shangjun, and also began to let Shangjun accept the government affairs of the human race.
When Emperor Shun's meritorious deeds were complete, Emperor Shun took Shang Jun to the altar to worship the saint. Under the strange eyes of all the saints, he completed the abdication ceremony. However, these saints all knew that Shang Jun could not sit firmly as the co-leader.
Sooner or later, this position will belong to Yu, and they don't care much. Anyway, the human race will handle these matters themselves.
It is worth mentioning that the merits of Emperor Shun after he completed his merits were not much, similar to the merits of Emperor Yao's enlightenment. Obviously, neither heaven nor humanity gave Yu's merits of controlling water to Emperor Shun, but only reduced his merits of managing the human race throughout his life.
It made Emperor Shun blush and let all the powerful men in the ancient world know that Yu was the best candidate for co-master.
In the end, Emperor Shun obtained 80% of the merits, and was only promoted to the early stage of the Tao Quasi-Sage. The Holy Mother Turtle Spirit obtained two successful virtues, and was also promoted to the late stage of the Daluo Golden Immortal, surpassing the peak of Duobao Taoist in the middle stage of the Daluo Golden Immortal!
The abdication was completed, the saints left, and Shang Jun ascended to the position of co-leader. In order to avoid suspicion, Dayu hid in Yangcheng. After Shang Jun succeeded to the throne, his prestige was too small. He was able to come to power entirely because of Emperor Shun.
The princes in the world saw his prestige and were dissatisfied in their hearts.
Now that Emperor Shun has left for the Holy Land of the Human Race, they are naturally no longer restricted, and they do not want to work under Shangjun. So they all left Shangjun and went to see Yu. In this way, with the support of the princes and repeated contests,
Shang Jun finally gave up. Because there were too few people supporting him, he could not issue any instructions on government affairs, and the orders he issued would not be implemented in the human race. Shang Jun finally had no choice but to abdicate in favor of a worthy man. At this time, the fifty-three-year-old Yu officially ascended the throne of the human race.
The co-lords took Anyi as their capital. Their country was named Xia, their surname was Si, and they were called Xia Yu in history.
After Xia Yu succeeded to the throne, he enfeoffed Danzhu in the Tang Dynasty and Shangjun in the Tang Dynasty. He changed the calendar to the Xia calendar and took the month of Jian Yin as the first month. At the same time, various tribes in the Central Plains gradually formed a leadership group centered on the Xia people.
Xia Yu's position in this group has begun to take on the nature of royal authority.
After the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, Dayu convened a meeting of princes in Tushan as soon as possible to review his mistakes. This meeting in Tushan is generally regarded as a landmark event in the establishment of the Xia Dynasty. On the day of the official meeting, Dayu wore legal robes
, holding Xuan Gui in hand, standing on the stage, the princes from all directions were arranged on both sides according to the direction of their country, and they all bowed their heads to Yu the Great. Dayu also bowed his head on the stage to respond to the ceremony. After the ceremony, Xia Yu loudly said to the princes
.
"My virtues are weak and I am not good enough to convince the public. I have convened this meeting in order to hope that everyone will understand my sincere rebuke, admonishment, and advice, so that I can learn from my mistakes and correct my mistakes. I have callous hands and feet, and I am in peace."
Although I have worked a little hard on water and soil, the most cautious thing in my life is the word arrogance. The late emperor often used this to warn me: "If you are not arrogant, no one in the world will compete with you; if you don't attack, no one in the world will compete with you."
"Competing with you for merit." If I am proud or conceited, please tell me face to face, otherwise you will teach me to be unkind! I will listen to everyone's teachings." Everyone understands that Yu was ordered by heaven, and originally had some feelings for Yu the Great.
Seeing Yu's attitude, the princes who expressed their opinions also expressed their respect and admiration, which eliminated their original doubts. Historical records record that "Yu gathered the princes at Tushan, holding jade and silk to all nations."
In addition, he asked Gao Tao, who was in charge of punishment during flood control, to formulate some regulations. If any clan tribe disobeyed orders, they would be punished with punishment. At that time, Fang Feng, the chief of the Guyue tribe, always wanted to dominate one side and called himself Yue people.
The chiefs of each tribe did not listen to Xia Yu's orders. Xia Yu publicly ordered him to be executed at the Tushan Assembly and his body was exposed for three days.
