The Emperor Shun Zhishi

Chapter 60 Regent Huaxia
The Battle of Wuxing Mountain once again demonstrated Shun's superb political and military talents, which not only increased Emperor Yao and Gao Tao's confidence in Shun's leadership of the Huayi Alliance, but also those tribes that originally opposed Shun also came to Shun to ask for credit after the Battle of Wuxing Mountain .Most of them are bragging about how they resisted all opinions at the beginning, organized tribesmen, followed Shun to Wuxing Mountain, and how they bravely killed the enemy and wiped out Sanmiao.

As a man with political foresight, Shun gave more appeasement to these wavering tribes, and did not make substantive punishments for those tribes that did not participate in the encirclement and suppression.

Shun knew that some of these people and tribes involved in the battle had their own ulterior motives.Huandou and Gonggong are obviously fools, and they have been holding a wait-and-see attitude from beginning to end. Only after Huaxia gained the upper hand, did they symbolically participate in the encirclement and suppression of Sanmiao.Gun is an ambitious man, he never wanted to rescue Huaxia from the very beginning, even from Queli's standpoint, Little Xingxing also expressed doubts.However, Little Xingxing did not punish these people for their ambiguous stance in this battle of Hua Miao. On the contrary, Little Xingxing greatly praised their efforts in front of Emperor Yao.

At the celebration banquet, Shun discussed meritorious deeds in front of Emperor Yao and Gao Yao.

He believed that Danzhu was the one with the highest credit, because Danzhu guarded Danshui City, which was the southern gate of Pingyang, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Once Danshui City was breached, Pingyang would be in danger.Although half of the troops were lost due to the plague, at least [-] troops were preserved, holding back the three seedlings.

Little Xingxing is also telling the truth, but he ranks Danzhu first, not only because he is the son of Emperor Yao and his military exploits, but also because he is comforting Queli.Little Xingxing knows that after this battle, Shun's greatest enemy has turned from Sanmiao to Queli, and Queli may instigate Danzhu to deal with him in the future.Little Xingxing suspects that Queli and Sanmiao are in collusion, but he must not disclose this matter. Once revealed, Danzhu may turn against Shun in order to protect his wife, which is very detrimental to maintaining the Huayi alliance.

The second to fifth credits are: Qin Bukong, Dongbushi, Houji, and Cao Muzi. These four people have followed Shun since he became the lord of Guirui City, and they have been loyal to him and helped Shun collect scattered land. The disaster relief forces of various tribes, they are the main force in encircling and suppressing Sanmiao, and played a major role in exterminating Sanmiao.The evaluation of the four people's contributions is well deserved, and Emperor Yao and Gao Tao also recognized it very much.

The sixth place in credit is Gun. Although he arbitrarily put Ehuang and Nvying under house arrest, stole the military power of Yushan soldiers, and caused the main force of Yushan soldiers to be wiped out by Sanmiao, when Pingyang was in danger, Gun still summoned the Chong clan The people rushed thousands of miles to help Pingyang, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and their merits outweighed their mistakes.

Ranked seventh and eighth are Gonggong and Huandou respectively.Little Xingxing thought that these two people were completely bastards in the battle of the Five Elements Mountain, and Emperor Yao knew about it, but since they were originally from Huaxia, although they looked forward to both ends, they still did not betray Huaxia at the critical moment, which is worth it commended.Little Xingxing was more out of comfort to them, fearing that if they were punished, they would unite with Xirong and create a strong enemy for the Huayi Alliance.

Then Shun also told the credit of his younger brother Xiang and other tribes who followed him to encircle Sanmiao in Wuxing Mountain, which can be regarded as a reward for them.

Emperor Yao listened to Shun's meritorious deeds, nodded knowingly, and whispered to Gao Tao from time to time, saying that Shun's analysis in the credit book was still very good, not only taking into account the merits of everyone, but also taking into account the current Huayi alliance. political situation.

According to the record of merits reported by Shun, Emperor Yao rewarded the meritorious officials who participated in the battle of Wuxing Mountain.Some officials who made mistakes in the past were restored to their original posts, and some new and meritorious officials were awarded first-class titles. A total of 110 three people and 65 tribes were rewarded.

After discussing meritorious deeds and rewards, Emperor Yao went to the Sifang viewing platform and watched thousands of nobles and tribal leaders from Huaxia and Dongyi gathered under the stage.

"This battle against the three seedlings proves that the Huaxia and Dongyi alliances have truly become an unbreakable one, and it also proves once again that the widow is old..."

When Emperor Yao uttered these words, there was a commotion under Sifang Guantiantai, and Que Li listened attentively, because what Emperor Yao said already indicated that he was going to abdicate to the virtuous, but he didn't know who to give it to.

"Emperor Yao is going to abdicate?"

The leader of the Xiong family and the leader of the Lei family whispered in the audience.

"Isn't that right? Emperor Yao is indeed old. The Wuxing Mountain battle was fought so hard this time. Although San Miao was repelled, You Miao still retreated completely. If this was decades ago, I think You Miao Shi has long been decapitated."

"If it wasn't for Shun's leadership, I think Huaxia would be in danger. I think Emperor Yao will definitely give way to Shun."

"That's not necessarily the case. Danzhu's contribution is not small. When discussing merit just now, he was ranked first. Moreover, he is the son of Emperor Yao, with outstanding military exploits."

Que Li listened to the conversation between the two, secretly delighted.She knew that Shun was a talent, but Danzhu helped Emperor Yao open up the territory and expand the territory, and Huaxia has today's territory. In terms of credit, Danzhu is by no means inferior to Shun.She believed that Emperor Yao would pass the throne to Danzhu.

"Now there is an urgent need for a wise, courageous, and meritorious person to replace the widow in regent Huaxia. You may wonder why the widow didn't mention Chonghua when discussing merits and rewards just now, because his credit is not just a few words It can be finished. From his establishment of Guirui, Zhan Sanmiao, Killing Uncle Wu, Feng Taotie, checking the water system, saving Huaxia, and promoting the Huayi alliance, no one has more credit. belong!"

When Emperor Yao said this, Queli looked displeased, Gun looked very sad, Huandou and Gonggong shook their heads and sighed, Danzhu remained silent.In addition, the tribal leaders of the Huayi Alliance, whether they were sincere or not, all cheered, thinking that Shun succeeded Emperor Yao and became the co-lord of Huayi, which was expected by all.

"Huaxia and Dongyi have officially merged into one, and they are no longer an ally. This means that Huaxia and Dongyi have finally become one. But the widow still encountered a new problem, and the name of this new alliance should be changed. I think of a name that both Dongyi and Huaxia can accept——Yixia, what do you think?"

When Gun heard the name, he was the first to raise objections.

"My Huaxia is stronger than Dongyi in all aspects. Most of the repelling of the three seedlings this time is due to the credit of my Huaxia ministries. How can Dongyi's name be ranked first?"

Gun's opinion was recognized by most of the Chinese nobles, especially the Dihong clan, Shaohao clan, Zhuanxu clan, and Jinyun clan. It is natural that Huaxia's name is ranked after Dongyi.

"China is a country of etiquette. Accepting barbarians like Dongyi is already a hindrance. Since the regent of the alliance has given them the barbarians, why do they still come from behind in terms of names?"

When the Shaohao family said this, all the tribes in China echoed.Emperor Yao was a little annoyed, but he still tried his best to endure, thinking that what these nobles in Pingyang City said was really inappropriate.Shun was also very embarrassed, because he was originally from Dongyi, and the officials on Gaotao's side were very angry.But Shun keeps asking them to keep quiet, because at this point, any argument is splitting the new alliance.Qin Bukong and Dong didn't know each other. Although he was not surprised, he still tried his best to bear it.

"The name is not important. The important thing is that Huaxia and Dongyi have finally merged into one. In the future, there will be no more wars due to the division of Huaxia. The combined population of my Dongyi tribes is less than half of China's. According to me Look, it’s still called Huaxia.”

Listening to Gao Tao's words, Little Xingxing couldn't help but admire Gao Tao's mind.Because in history, Huaxia was equivalent to China, which shows that the name Huaxia can be handed down, but Yixia has not been handed down, which is probably related to Gaotao.

"The subordinates think that what the leader Gaotao said is reasonable," Little Xingxing stood up from the crowd, agreeing with Gaotao's opinion, "There is no need to argue about this false name, the name Huaxia is quite good."

"It seems that the barbarians like Dongyi still have people who understand!"

Shun listened to the voice and saw that Emperor Hong said this in front of everyone. It seemed to be praising Shun and Gao Yao, but it sounded very uncomfortable to the Dongyi tribes.Shun was also a little annoyed, thinking: Why are the nobles in Pingyang so arrogant, and they must be punished in the future.

Zhuanxu's, Jinyun's and Shaohao's clans came to Emperor Yao one after another, demanding to keep the name of Huaxia.

Seeing that both Gaotao and Shun agreed to keep the name of Huaxia, and most of the nobles in Huaxia also supported them, it was hard to win the hearts of the people, so he immediately announced that the new alliance would still be called Huaxia.

After Emperor Yao made the announcement, Gonggong stood up.

"Since ancient times, the emperor's succession ceremony has always been enshrined in Mount Tai, and the regent is also a major event. I think that with the wisdom of Huahua, we should also follow the ancient system and go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen."

Although Gonggong didn't like Shun's regency in Huaxia, since it was already a fact, he had no choice but to accept it.Remembering that Shun, Ehuang, and Nvying were exterminated at the source of Jishui before, and now that Shun is in charge of Huaxia, he was afraid that Shun would punish him for the past at the source of Jishui, so he hurriedly spoke good things about Shun in front of many leaders, and hoped that his lords would be generous , No longer pursue the past enmity.

Huandou didn't see the doubts in Gonggong's heart, but thought that because the country changed hands, Gonggong flattered Shun, and naturally he didn't want to miss it, so he quickly stood up from the crowd and said in a loud voice:
"Emperor and Chonghua are great sages of holiness. Only when you go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen can you honor the virtues of the emperor and show the sages of Chonghua."

"good!"

Emperor Yao praised Gonggong and Huandou, thinking that this ritual was very meaningful.Seeing this, Que Li on the side couldn't help but disdain Gong Gong and Huan Dou, secretly calling them sycophants.

One month later, Emperor Yao and Gao Tao led more than 200 tribal leaders, nobles, and sages in the Huaxia Alliance, a total of more than 2000 people, gathered at the Jade Emperor Peak of Mount Tai to worship the heaven and the earth, and perform the ritual of enshrining Zen.

After enshrining Zen, Emperor Yao announced his retirement in front of more than 200 tribal leaders, nobles, and sages of Huaxia and Dongyi ethnic groups, let Shun regent in Huaxia, and announced that Dongyi and Huaxia would be merged into one, named China Alliance.Since then, there is only Huaxia in the world, and there is no distinction between Huaxia and Yi.

At the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, Emperor Yao and Gao Tao personally put a crown symbolizing authority on Shun, and solemnly announced that Shun was the regent of the New China Alliance, in charge of all military and political affairs of the alliance.

After Shun became regent, Gao Tao also announced that he would step down as the chief of Dongyi, and demanded that all tribes in Dongyi obey the instructions of the regent of Huaxia. From then on, he would also go back to the mountains and forests.Emperor Yao knew that Gao Tao's purpose was to let the Dongyi people accept the Chinese civilization faster and make himself disappear in the vast history, so that Dongyi lost a banner.But Emperor Yao thought that there was no need for him to do so.

"The widow's retiring is because the widow is indeed old, but you are rich in age, and you can continue to assist Chonghua to complete the great cause of peace and security in the world. You are good at criminal names, suitable for legislation for China, and have rich political experience. You are also the great leader of Dongyi, in my opinion, you are fully qualified to be our great Sikou in China, the title of Emperor Ya, with one person below ten thousand."

"good!"

Hearing what Emperor Yao said, Shun hurriedly praised him.The leaders of Dongyi tribes, ministers, and nobles on the top of the Jade Emperor also cheered "Long live" when they heard that Gao Tao had become the emperor of Asia.

In order to make the people more convinced of Shun, Emperor Yao proposed to move the capital from Pingyang to Guirui.However, Shun built the city with Guirui not long ago, and it was mainly for commerce, and the people did not agree with it, so he rejected Emperor Yao's opinion.Little Xingxing also opposes the idea of ​​moving the capital, because moving the capital is a major event, once the capital is moved, it will shake the foundation of China, not to mention the waste of people and money, but the four nobles in Pingyang City, because moving the city will lead to a decline in status, which is not what they want.After some explanations from Shun, Emperor Yao dispelled this idea.

After Mount Tai was enshrined in Zen, Shun walked into Pingyang City with Ehuang and Nvying as the regent of Huaxia, climbed up to the Sifang Guantiantai, and watched the people from Huaxia and Dongyi cheering happily. Shun felt mixed feelings.He once wanted to do a great cause, but now he has become the king of people, taking control of China, especially after he came into contact with the little star, he felt the smallness of this world, and human beings are always living in misery.What is the purpose of life?He can't find the answer, but that's why he keeps trying.

At this time, Little Xingxing also had mixed feelings. In a sense, he helped Shun ascend to the throne, which can be described as a consummation of merit.But his own original intention was to correct mistakes and find Fantian Demon.But after going through so much, Little Xingxing still has little to gain, and knows nothing about Fantianmo.Perhaps, it is hidden among the cheering crowd at the foot of Pingyang City, perhaps it is by your side.It's just that for Little Xingxing, there is still no trace.
