Laozi, the Great Supreme Being

Chapter 355: Inheritance and Succession, Emperor Shun is Co-President
  After Yao succeeded to the throne, the first thing he did was to perfect the four seasons divided by Emperor Ku!
  According to the movement of the sun, moon and stars, Yao formulated a calendar and then announced it to the world so that all people of the race could work according to the calendar. In this way, people would not be too tired!

In addition, Yao also decided to use 366 days as a year and install a leap month every three years. He used the leap month to adjust the relationship between the calendar and the four seasons so that the annual farming time would be correct and there would be no errors.

During the years when Yao was in power, he had so many talented people under his command that he could be described as a cloud of masters!

In order to find these talents and prevent them from being buried, Yao often went into the mountains and remote places to survey for wise men!
  If it is true as the rumors say, there is a wise man in this place, Yao will invite him back to assist him and make a heavy promise!
  From this we can also see Yao’s thirst for talents!
  Among them, the story of Yao and Xu You is the most widely circulated!

Xu You, nicknamed Chaofu, was a great sage at that time. He was a kind man, not greedy for fame and wealth, and he himself had great wisdom.

After hearing Xu You's name, Yao planned to visit Xu You and ask him to help him!
  However, before Yao arrived at Xu You's residence, Xu You hid!

Because Xu You didn't like the struggle for fame and wealth in the world, he had no intention of following Yao out of the mountain. But Xu You couldn't refuse Yao, so he had to hide first!

On the way, Zhe Que happened to bump into Xu You and asked him where he was going.
  Xu You replied to Jie Que and told him that he was avoiding Yao!
  Hearing this, Zhique was extremely confused and asked again: Why do you want to avoid Yao?

Seeing Zhe Que's confused look, Xu You had no choice but to explain to him!

The people supported Yao because he brought them benefits. Once Yao failed to bring them benefits, they would abandon him. On the other hand, the same was true for Yao. Yao gained enough benefits from the people. Otherwise, Yao would have I won’t worry about human affairs!
  Yao only knew that great sages could benefit the world, but he didn't know that great sages could also harm the world. Xu You didn't go out, not because he didn't want to help Yao, but because Xu You was tired of the warmth and warmth of human relationships and all the benefits in the world. , it is precisely because of this that Xu You will avoid Yao!

After hearing this, Yao was greatly surprised. Although what Xu You said was unpleasant, it was true and Yao could not refute it.

Finally, Yao went to Xu You several times, but Xu You still refused to come out. Yao had no choice but to give up!
  Time passed slowly, and soon, decades passed. Yao reigned for seventy years and worked diligently every day. However, because Yao was old, he gradually felt a little unable to handle affairs. He felt his physical condition. Yao thought, it’s time to choose a successor!

In this way, Yao invited his close ministers, Siyue and others, to discuss with them who should be chosen to succeed him!
  After listening to Yao's words, Siyue thought for a long time, and finally proposed that Yao's son Danzhu should succeed to the throne! But before Siyue could finish speaking, Yao rejected Siyue’s proposal!
  Although Danzhu was his son, Yao knew Danzhu's nature well.

Danzhu is fierce and stubborn. If the human race is handed over to Danzhu's hands, the human race will surely perish!

Seeing that Yao understood the righteousness so well, Siyue then proposed that Shun should inherit the position of co-lord!
  Siyue told Yao that Shun was a man who attached great importance to filial piety and was very famous among the people!

Shun has been persecuted by his father Gusou, his stepmother, and his stepmother's son Xiang since he was a child. He has suffered many hardships, but he is still kind to his parents, respects his parents, and loves his half-brother Xiang. He is a really generous man!

After hearing what Siyue said, Yao decided to inspect Shun first before deciding whether to pass the throne to Shun!

After that, Yao personally sent his two daughters Ehuang and Nuying to Shun and married him!
  At the same time, he asked his two daughters to observe Shun secretly to see if Shun was really what the rumors said!

Just like that, three years passed in the blink of an eye!
  Within three years, both Ehuang and Nvying fell in love with Shun completely, just because Shun's character was so good, and it was consistent with the rumors, he was a rare talent. Such a person, Ehuang and Nvying How could you not love it?

After learning the whole story from his two daughters, Yao was very satisfied and finally decided to pass the co-ownership to Shun!
  After hearing this, Shun was naturally not prepared to agree, but under Yao's strong request, Shun still agreed to inherit the position of co-lord!

Soon, the grand ceremony of passing the throne began, and countless people from the human race gathered to watch the passing of the throne together!
  Under the attention of everyone, Yao passed the position of co-master to Shun and told Shun to develop the human race well and not to neglect it.

After everything was over, Yao left the human race and went to the holy land of the human race to practice!
