Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 615 Terrible Scheming (4100)

This?
Could it be that it was not that Emperor Yao betrothed the two daughters to Emperor Shun on his own initiative and taught them to examine Emperor Shun's virtue and ability, but that Emperor Shun forced Emperor Yao to marry the two daughters to him?
Wu Liang wavered a little, as if he was going through a Rashomon incident in the ancient Tang and Yu period.

On one side are the historical materials combined with ancient books and folklore discovered by later generations. These historical sites and folklore are all later than the Tang and Yu Dynasties in ancient times.

On the other side are oracle bone documents from the ancient Tang and Yu periods, and were written by "Danzhu" who can be counted as the person involved...

But no matter what kind of statement it is, no specific evidence can be found to support it.

However, from the perspective of human nature, Wu Liang felt that the latter felt more real.

Since the emergence of human beings, "struggling for power and profit" has been an eternal topic, and this kind of thing may not disappear until human beings are completely extinct.

Therefore, Emperor Yao was willing to "abide" the throne, and there was almost no conflict between the parties. The great consummation of Emperor Shun's final peaceful succession to the throne, in the eyes of Wu Liang, a "little man", was more or less incompatible with human nature. It can even be said to be a little unrealistic.

Not to mention.

Even at that time polygamy, Emperor Yao did not need to marry both of his daughters to Emperor Shun.

Also from the perspective of interests, wouldn't it be good to marry one of the daughters to the leader or the son of the leader of another big tribe to form a more reliable marriage relationship?

Besides.

According to historical records, Emperor Yao seemed to have enough power to "abide" the throne, because he died after Emperor Shun had succeeded to the throne for some years. Throughout the 5000 years of the Tian Dynasty, except for a few special cases of playing with things and losing one's mind, Sincerely few emperors can hand over the throne while they are still alive.

This is not just out of obsession with rights, but also some worries.

After all, people are the most difficult thing to manage. No one can achieve absolute leveling of the water. Besides, even if someone can level the water, it cannot avoid being hated. Once the throne is surrendered and power is lost, let alone a In the hands of outsiders, once a person who holds a grudge settles accounts after autumn, how to deal with it?

When Wu Liang thought so.

Zuo Ci was still concentrating on interpreting the contents of the oracle bone inscriptions. He had to admit that Zuo Ci was indeed a person with a high level of culture. has become plain language.

Wu Liang couldn't help thinking that Zuo Ci might become an excellent professional translator in later generations:

"In this case, the power of 'Danzhu' has become weaker and weaker, gradually losing the qualification to compete with Emperor Shun for status."

"At the same time, another force has quietly risen. This force is none other than 'Gun', the tribal leader of the Chong clan. 'Gun' has a close relationship with Siyue. Emperor Yao was helpless in the face of the torrential flood. , so he asked Siyue for candidates for water control officials, Siyue immediately recommended 'Gun', and Emperor Yao was not optimistic about 'Gun', but at that time he found a more suitable candidate, and it was hindered by Siyue's affection In the end, he can only be ordered to take full responsibility for water control."

"In the first one or two years, the flood control measures implemented by 'Gun' did curb the floods in many places, which made Emperor Yao and the officials and people see hope."

"But whenever 'Gun' leads people to go to other places, the local floods will soon come back."

"The result is that 'Gun' has spent a lot of manpower and material resources on flood control for many years, but it has not really quelled the flood disaster. On the contrary, the Chong clan led by 'Gun' has become stronger and stronger in the past nine years, gradually becoming the strongest in the Central Plains. One of the largest tribes, but 'Gun' is still asking Emperor Yao for more support and supplies."

"At the same time, the reputation of 'Gun' is also rising. People say that 'Gun' possesses supernatural powers and can deter evil waters. Wherever he goes, the floods will subside. Once he leaves, the evil waters will never stop. If people are deterred, they will make a comeback, so many tribes and people who have been harassed by the flood are looking forward to the arrival of 'Gun'..."

Do you raise your own self-respect?
Knowing this, such a word immediately appeared in Wu Liang's mind.

The "bandits" in "Raising bandits for self-respect" are naturally floods.

Analyzing this matter purely from the perspective of interests, the person who will benefit the most is naturally "Gun". As long as the problem of flooding is not completely resolved, Emperor Yao must rely on "Gun", and "Gun" can continue to provide assistance to Yao. The emperor asked for support and materials, so as to continuously obtain more benefits, and at the same time continuously enhance his reputation.

Therefore, from the perspective of interests, the person who least wants the flood to disappear should probably be "Gun".

"'Gun' can be said to be the person who had the best chance to compete with Emperor Shun for the throne at that time. Naturally, he couldn't just sit and watch Emperor Shun's family dominate. At the same time, Gonggong, Badger, and Sanmiao also noticed this. The situation, so they began to plan secretly, ready to wait for the opportunity."

"In the end, it was Emperor Shun's superior move. He collected evidence from nowhere, and pre-emptively exposed the fact that 'Gun' used the name of water control to enrich himself, making the luxurious 'Gun' and the Chong clan the target of public criticism. In this way, "Gun" instantly changed from a water control hero to an object of people's disdain, and the Chong clan was also suppressed and plundered by various tribes, and soon fell apart, while Emperor Shun became a model of justice and justice, and his reputation was second to none. .”

"In order to appease the public anger, Emperor Yao had no choice but to dismiss 'Gun' as an official, and confiscated his and You Chong's tribe's properties, and drove him to Yushan to let him fend for himself. Since then, 'Gun' has completely lost his chance. "

"The Gonggong, Badger, and Sanmiao tribes had to unite to fight against Emperor Shun, who was in the limelight."

"It's a pity that Emperor Shun is unstoppable at this time. Not only did this move not play a role in countering Emperor Shun, but Emperor Shun gained more military power from Emperor Yao in the name of suppressing the rebellion. In just a few months Afterwards, Gonggong, Badger, and Sanmiao were completely defeated, and they were forced to lead their people away from home, while Emperor Shun had completely emptied Emperor Yao, and no one could stop him from taking the throne."

"In a few months, Emperor Yao, who was already dead in name only, had to make a 'abdication' in advance, and Emperor Shun finally ascended to the throne of the Son of Heaven under the witness of many tribal leaders and Siyue."

"But this matter is not over yet. The first thing that Emperor Shun did after he succeeded to the throne was to order Emperor Yao to lead the Taotang clan to live in the south of Nanhe, but he detained 'Danzhu' alone. Come down, order him to stay in Beitang to live alone, and ask him not to see his father and clan members forever."

"This is the darkest moment of 'Dan Zhu''s life. He understands that he is being taken hostage by Emperor Shun, in order to prevent Emperor Yao from being unwilling, and to prevent the Tao Tang family from making a comeback."

"After so many years of silence."

"One day, 'Danzhu' suddenly welcomed a rare visitor, this person was none other than 'Gun' who was exiled in Yushan."

"'Gun' secretly found him, and secretly transported a treasure. This treasure is exactly the 'Xi Soil' that was given to 'Gun' to control the water when Emperor Yao was in power. At this time, 'Danzhu' was convinced that what Emperor Shun revealed was the truth, and 'Gun' really enriched himself with water control, which is why he failed to control the water for many years."

"However, this is the end of the matter. 'Dan Zhu' himself is just a hostage in the hands of Emperor Shun. He has already chosen to accept his fate, so what if he is convinced of this matter? What's more, Emperor Yao and him are in such a state now, and 'Gun' and There is no direct relationship, the person he should resent most is not 'Gun', but Emperor Shun."

"But 'Gun' is not as easy to accept his fate as 'Danzhu'."

"He earnestly expressed his loyalty to Emperor Yao and the Tao Tang clan to 'Dan Zhu', and vowed to help 'Dan Zhu' rebuild the capital of the Northern Tang Dynasty and welcome Emperor Yao back, and 'Xi Rang' is his sincerity."

"Although 'Danzhu' didn't like 'Gun' very much, living away from his father and his clan for several years made him look forward to family reunion even more, so he finally decided to cooperate with 'Gun'."

"So under the management of 'Gun', this underground king's capital using 'Xi Soil' as a material was secretly built."

"'Danzhu' quickly moved into this underground royal capital, and only went out once to deal with the envoys sent by Emperor Shun when they came to check on him."

"Since then, 'Danzhu' has been completely isolated from the world, hiding in the underground capital all day long, devoting all his time and energy to perfecting this underground capital, and looking forward to the day when Emperor Yao The clansmen of the Tao Tang clan came here and lived with him, as for the position of the Son of Heaven, it is not that important anymore."

"The days passed day by day like this, and finally, one day a few months later, 'Gun' suddenly found him covered in blood and in a hurry."

"'Gun' told 'Danzhu': their secret construction of the underground capital has been revealed, Emperor Shun is sending troops here to execute the two of them, this time they are probably doomed to die, he is dead It doesn't matter, it's a pity that he didn't fulfill his promise to 'Danzhu' after all, he didn't welcome Emperor Yao back, and he didn't even ask 'Danzhu' to see Emperor Yao for the last time."

"However, 'Danzhu' was unusually calm after listening to it. He told 'Gun' to go out first, and he wanted to be quiet for a while."

"After 'Gun' went out, 'Dan Zhu' finally found his treasured ancient relic, that is, the piece of skull engraved with the method of 'corpse dissection'. This may be the only way for him to see his father and his clan again. It's just that after using this method, he has no way out and can only end his life without being a human or a ghost. This is why he would rather bear the burden of humiliation than use this method. He is the heir of Emperor Yao and Tao Tang. As the successor of the clan, his pride does not allow him to become such an existence, but now he has no choice..."

"It's gone here."

Zuo Ci put down the last piece of oracle bone, and the interpretation finally came to an end here.

"Um……"

Wu Liang responded, and then glanced sideways at the servant fox.

"..."

The servant fox nodded twice, indicating that Zuo Ci didn't play any tricks this time.

Wu Liang frowned unconsciously.

These biographies are obviously the self-narration of 'Dan Zhu', and it is even very likely that 'Dan Zhu' completed it himself, especially at the end of the moment, there should be no one else next to 'Dan Zhu', so there is a high probability that there is no one else. People help him record to the last moment.

But in these notes, there are some less obvious "loopholes":
For example, "Dan Zhu" showed "simpleness" when he chose to cooperate with "Gun";
Another example is the details that were selectively overwritten during the construction and improvement of this underground royal capital;

Another example is "Danzhu"'s understanding and cognition of "corpse autopsy" at the last moment, as well as his so-called pride...

Although these "loopholes" are harmless and do not affect the logic of the topic, I always feel that when "Dan Zhu" wrote down these life records, he may not stand on the standpoint of an absolutely impartial bystander.

Wu Liang suspected that he had beautified himself when he "remembered"...

After all, this is also one of the qualities of human beings. When anyone remembers and forgets things, even if he does not do it deliberately, he will definitely beautify his behavior and motivation unconsciously, so as to achieve a self-consistency that makes him feel at ease.

In particular, the construction of this underground king's capital, which was briefly mentioned, was in the process of perfection.

This is not a small project, even with the blessing of "Xi Soil", many buildings and decorations here are still not a small project, there are also those oil lamps that use "Quanxian Paste", and the four knelt on the stone platform The female corpse on the bed and a large amount of "solid meat" that Zhang Liang cleared out from this secret place before.

"Danzhu" did not record these details, but chose to mention them briefly, probably because he also participated in these things, and these things were not good things.

It's a pity that these things, I'm afraid only the parties can explain clearly...

"Brother Yuan Fang, I want to hear your opinion on the content of these notes first."

Wu Liang pondered for a moment, then suddenly said to Zuo Ci.

"I?"

Zuo Ci was taken aback for a moment, but seeing Wu Liang's serious expression, he said openly, "I don't have any opinions on the past, and judging from the scene presented in this stone room, 'Danzhu' should not have been successfully completed. The reason why "Gun" suddenly came to support him and build this underground secret realm for him before the "corpse dissection method" was performed, I think the real purpose should be the "corpse dissection method", and "Gun" successfully achieved his own In this way, the secret realm where the formation was set up has become a secret realm built by 'Gun' for himself to preserve the things that were pretended to be left behind."

"As for why 'Gun' did this..."

"Judging from the later history, Dayu, the son of 'Gun', was almost impossible to stand up as a criminal minister, but was inexplicably recommended by Siyue to become Sikong, and finally completed his unfinished great cause of water control, and even In the end, they got the title of Son of Heaven from Emperor Shun, and Dayu's heir, Qi, even turned the world into their family's world... If all "Gun" had plans in advance, this would be a change of fate against the sky. What a terrific scheming game!"
