Xiaojianxian of the prehistoric and wild

Chapter 436 435. Intrigue
The human race flooded everywhere, flooding fertile fields and destroying houses, which brought great disaster to the life of the human race.

Although the human race has mastered the method of predicting disasters since Fuxi, the scale of the flood this time is so large that it is difficult for people to prepare for it even if they know when and where the flood will happen.

Under such circumstances, Emperor Zhuanxu learned of the situation in the lower realm, so he sent God Gun down to assist Emperor Yao in controlling the water.

The arrival of Gun undoubtedly reassured Emperor Yao a little.

This time the flood was indeed terrible, but the human race was no longer the original human race.

There are also people on top of the current human race, and they are still their own people.

Therefore, Emperor Yao handed over the task of water control to Gun, and he himself began to look for a candidate who could inherit the throne. At the same time, Emperor Yao was also trying to cultivate Danzhu.Although Danzhu has not had any outstanding performance so far, Danzhu is his son after all.

If possible, he would still prefer to pass on the throne of emperor to Danzhu.

In this way, Gun took the task given to him by Emperor Yao and started his career in water control. While Emperor Yao was cultivating Danzhu, he also began to tour the world, trying to find a suitable successor.

Just like that, the days passed by.

Gun is worthy of being the god Zhuanxu sent to control the water. Under the leadership of Gun, people built embankments and dams. In addition, Gun also obtained the Nine Heavens Resting Soil left over from Nuwa's creation of humans. The great flood of the human race was gradually brought under control. , Gun's prestige in the human race is also increasing day by day.

It wasn't until this time that Emperor Yao suddenly realized that if the development continues like this, when he grows old, if he has not yet chosen a successor, Gun might be surrounded by people and sit on the throne of the Emperor. bit!

After realizing this, Emperor Yao's desire to find a suitable heir became more and more urgent.

Fortunately, at this time, a candidate also appeared in Emperor Yao's field of vision.

That is Shun.

Shun was born in poverty, experienced ups and downs, and worked in various jobs such as farming, fishing, and pottery making.

But even so, Shun's character was passed on by countless people.

There is no way, Shun, who is only twenty this year, is a filial son.

Although he was persecuted and abused by his father and mother at home, Shun was still able to maintain his filial piety to his parents, which made his reputation widely spread among the human race.

After all, the meaning of the word "filial piety" in the human race is still very heavy.

However, after Emperor Yao discovered Shun's existence, he was not overly delighted. On the contrary, he became deeply jealous of this well-known young man.

Filial piety is certainly a very good quality.

However, being able to behave filially while being abused and persecuted by his parents is no longer explained by the simple word "filial piety"—you know, Shun's parents even wanted to make him feel filial. Shun is dead!

Emperor Yao seriously suspected that this was a good show, a good show for him.

Because now many people know that Danzhu is useless, and he wants to choose another person from the human race to become the emperor.

In this case, a filial person can undoubtedly win his favor.

The reason is also very simple, he wants to pass on the position of emperor to an outsider.

If that person is ungrateful, will his descendants be treated well after his death?

And if that person was a filial person, he wouldn't have so many worries.

However, although he felt that this was a play, Emperor Yao still decided to give Shun a chance after secretly observing Shun for a while.

He is running out of time.

Gun's reputation is getting higher and higher, and even he may not be able to suppress Gun if it goes on like this.

Furthermore, even if Shun was acting, after his death, even if Shun just wanted to maintain his own image, he would not treat Danzhu and the others badly.

Out of this consideration, Emperor Yao married his two daughters, Ehuang and Nvying, to Shun as a test of him.

At the same time, Emperor Yao also let Shun get in touch with some affairs of the human race as a test of Shun's ability.

Shun married Ehuang Nvying, and he was really grateful to Emperor Yao.

Emperor Yao listened to whatever he said, with an extremely filial appearance.

At the same time, Shun also showed unparalleled talent in the process of assisting Emperor Yao in handling various affairs of the human race.

As time passed, Shun's reputation quickly spread among the human race.

To put it simply, it is a sentence, Shun, has the appearance of an emperor.

Facing the ability shown by Shun, Emperor Yao couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

He knew that his guess was not wrong.

Shun was obviously just an ordinary person from a poor background, but after being exposed to various affairs of the human race, he was able to handle them very well. This cannot be explained by saying that he is extremely talented.

Obviously, Shun did not know how long he had been preparing for this day.

However, even so, Emperor Yao did not have the idea of ​​changing people.

For one thing, his daughters were already married, and even if it was only for his own reputation after Shun succeeded to the throne, he would not treat Danzhu and the others badly.

Second, he doesn't have that much time.

The most important point is that he cannot let the throne of the emperor fall into Gun's hands.

Although Zhuanxu had once been a human emperor, that was a thing of the past.

In the heavenly court, Zhuanxu is the emperor of heaven, the ruler of the gods and immortals in the sky, but on the earth, he is the emperor of humanity, the ruler of the human race.

Therefore, he absolutely cannot allow a person sent by Zhuanxu to inherit the position of Emperor, and the successor of Emperor can only be chosen by himself.

But the problem is that for today's human race, the great flood is still the most urgent problem to be solved.

Therefore, although Shun performed very well, as the greatest contributor to water control, Gun's reputation is still higher than that of Shun.

Under such circumstances, Emperor Yao decided to do one last thing before passing on the throne.

Gun led the people to build dikes and dams to contain the flood, which greatly improved people's conditions.

And in some places where the floods were serious and ordinary people could not stop them, he even used the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil to stop the floods himself.

Under such circumstances, those people whose homes were saved by Gun are naturally grateful to Gun.

However, if suddenly one day, those dams are washed away by the flood, and the homes that were originally saved are flooded again, and then someone tells them that it is because Gun’s water control method is wrong. On whom will the lost people vent their resentment?
Well, no ifs.

Very suddenly, many dams across the human race were suddenly washed away by the flood.

The homes of countless human races were flooded again.

At the same time, a rumor spread among the human race——Gun's method of water control was wrong.

Blindly intercepting it will not be able to solve the flood at all, so there will be today's catastrophe.

As a result, among the human race, Gun suddenly fell from a hero of water control to a place where everyone screamed for beatings.

Under such circumstances, Emperor Yao "followed the public opinion" and deprived Gun of the right to control the water, and exiled him.

When Emperor Yao's order came, Gun, who was confused by a series of upheavals, suddenly understood everything.

He knew that blindly intercepting the flood could not cure the flood, but the priority was given to him, and the situation at that time did not allow him to slowly dredge the flood.

That's why he led people to build dikes and dams, because this method has immediate results and can allow people to quickly restore their lives.

According to his calculations, these dams can completely stop the flood for a long time, after which he can continue to divert the flood and completely solve the flood.

But not long ago, according to his calculations, the dams that could have held back the flood for a long time were washed away one by one by the flood.

Gun believed in his own calculations, so he didn't think it was a problem with those dams.

That being the case, combined with the rumors of the human race, it is obvious that someone wants to harm him.

Originally, Gun was still wondering who was going to target him, but when Emperor Yao's order came, Gun immediately understood everything.

He didn't expect that the human race had fallen to this point.

He is a god of heaven, and also the human warrior who followed Zhuanxu and sacrificed his life for the future of the human race without hesitation.

Back then, none of them had selfishness, and all their efforts were for the future of the human race.

But now?
Gun felt a little sad.

He didn't understand why the human race became what it is now.

He is now a god.

If Emperor Yao wanted to harm him, he could ignore Emperor Yao's order and return directly to the heavenly court, and Emperor Yao could not do anything to him at all.

However, although many people in the human race have changed, Gun is still the original human warrior.

Emperor Yao is the current emperor.

This is the Emperor's order.

Therefore, he must obey.

In this way, Gun had no resistance and was exiled to Mount Yu.

There he ended his life and left behind his method of controlling the water.

Although the collapse of some dams wiped out some of Gun's previous achievements in water control, not all the dams collapsed.

Gun's previous flood control work still has some results left.

So the current flood is actually far less serious than before.

In this case, the next water control can already be cured slowly by using the method of dredging.

What Gun left behind was the method of how to channel the great flood later.

Gun died, and Shun became the most prestigious person in the human race today, the undisputed successor of the Human Emperor.

Under such circumstances, a new rumor spread among the human race—if Emperor Yao hadn't known people and chose Gun to control the water, the human race would not have suffered today's disaster.

Therefore, although Gun was responsible for the collapse of dams and floods, Emperor Yao was also responsible.

Rumors spread in Emperor Yao's ears, and Emperor Yao smiled helplessly.

He did what happened to Gun, and the purpose was to eliminate the threat to Shun.

Now that Gun is dead, it is almost self-evident who did this.

The reason why he laughed was because he saw the shadow of himself when he was young from Shun.

Sure enough, they are actually a kind of people.

However, although he saw through everything, Emperor Yao had no intention of resisting.

He is old.

Originally, he planned to pass the throne to Shun. If he chose to be an enemy of Shun this time, even if he could get rid of Shun, he would have no time to find a suitable successor. His efforts were in vain.

Therefore, after the rumors spread, Emperor Yao not only did not explain anything, but instead issued an imperial edict, pointed out his mistakes, and announced to the world that he was no longer suitable to be the emperor, so he passed the throne to Shun.

Emperor Yao cooperated very well.

But obviously Shun didn't want to give the world a feeling that he was eager to ascend to the throne of emperor.

Therefore, after Shun inherited the position of Emperor Yao from Emperor Yao, he took the initiative to announce to the world that his talent was not enough to be the Emperor, and that Dan Zhu was the most suitable candidate for Emperor Yao because he was the son of Emperor Yao. , so, he wants to give up the position of emperor to Danzhu.

But now the human race is surrounded by Shun, even if Danzhu becomes the emperor, it is just an empty shell, and people all over the world go to worship Shun, not Danzhu, the emperor.

At the same time, there was also a voice among the human race saying that Danzhu had no talent or virtue, calling for Shun to be made emperor.

Under such circumstances, Shun refused at first, then repeatedly, and finally showed a look that he really couldn't refuse. For the sake of the people in the world, he reluctantly agreed to become the emperor.

And Danzhu was also very sensible to give up the position of emperor, so Shun finally became emperor.

Emperor Yao, who had retired but not yet died of old age, saw Shun's approach, but didn't have any thoughts.

He only has one feeling now, and that is that Shun is too similar to him.

If he didn't look at the evidence, he would even suspect that Shun was his own son and Danzhu was just adopted.

However, even though Shun became the emperor, the flood of the human race still had to be dealt with.

Shun sent many people to control the water, but none of them had very good results.

In this case, a person came into Shun's field of vision.

Yu.

Yu was the son of Gun.

After Gun came to the world, during the years of flood control, he married a woman from the Youxin family, Xiuji, and gave birth to Yu.

After Gun was exiled to Yushan, Xiuji also went to Yushan with Gun.

Since he was a child, Yu felt that his father was a great hero in water control. Even though Gun was betrayed by the entire human race, Yu did not change his mind.

After Gun's death, Yu has been painstakingly studying the water control method left by Gun, just to one day be able to rectify Gun's name.

Shun knew about it.

Although the current image of Gun in the human race is a failure of water control and a sinner of the human race, only a few people such as Shun know that there is actually no problem with Gun's water control method.

The reason why Gun died had nothing to do with water control.

Therefore, after learning that Yu inherited Gun's water control method, Shun began to consider whether to let Yu control the water.

He didn't hesitate for too long and chose Yu.

As a result, he has no better choice now, but the flood has to be dealt with.

Secondly, he is different from Emperor Yao, he is very young, so he doesn't have to worry about Yu's threat.

In this way, under Shun's order, Yu took over his father's previous duties and became the new flood control person of the human race.

He vowed that in the future, he must use his own actions to clear up his father's grievances.
