Legend of the Great Desolation

Chapter 59 Five Emperors Rule the World ([-])

During the reign of Zhuanxu, Jingyuan used planning and dredging to know things; nourishing materials to manage the earth, carrying time to resemble the sky, relying on ghosts and gods to control righteousness, regulating qi to educate, and purifying sincerity to sacrifice.It reaches Youling in the north, Jiaozhi in the south, Liusha in the west, and Panmu in the east.Things that are moving and still, the gods of big and small, illuminated by the sun and the moon, all belong to them.With such a virtuous king, the human race became even more prosperous.However, although the Jiuli people are not fighting again, they only respect Xuanyuan Huangdi. Besides, after Xingtian returned to Pangu Palace, he let Jiufeng come to the Jiuli people to sit in town. Rare, let alone give up.And when Zhuanxu heard that Jiufeng was the beauty among the great witches of the Wu clan, and he was considered a great witch with status in the Wu clan, then Zhuanxu thought of marriage because the gap between the two clans was too deep and there was no other way.He informed the elders of the clan about this matter.Some of the elders in these clans came from the Holy Land, and they existed since the time of the Three Emperors, but they didn't interfere with the Human Emperor's affairs, which is also the principle of the Holy Land.These elders also agreed with Human Emperor Zhuanxu's opinion. After all, the Wu Clan was only dragging the Human Clan back at the beginning, and there was no real enmity. Although cause and effect still existed, the Human Clan didn't care about it.

Zhuan Xu was very happy when he heard that these elders agreed to this matter, because he was very afraid that these elders would not agree, and that would only turn the dream in his heart into naught.Later, Zhuanxu sent a message to propose a marriage with the Wuzu, and the Wuzu also agreed to marry Zhuanxu Jiufeng after careful consideration.In order to promote the development of the Datong world, Zhuanxu never married again in his life, treated Jiufeng kindly to help the Wu clan, and made great contributions to the integration of the two clans.During Zhuanxu's reign, he vigorously developed farming and water conservancy, and helped the people of the two ethnic groups develop great prosperity.During Zhuanxu's reign, the fusion of the two clans also carried out a lot. Although he didn't make great achievements like Xuanyuan, he also proved to be the Five Emperors.The five emperors also had a lot of merit, but although Guang Chengzi was the emperor's teacher, he only taught Zhuanxu the skills of cultivation, so he only got a little bit of merit.

Zhuanxu implemented benevolent government for many years in power, striving to integrate the two races of human and witch, and realize the world of Datong. When he was in power, he had only one wife, Jiufeng.The two became more affectionate, and finally Zhuanxu abdicated and gave way to Emperor Ku, while Zhuanxu and Jiufeng lived in seclusion in the Wu clan.Gao Xin is Emperor Ku, who was born with aura. He called his own name when he was born, and Guang Chengzi was delighted to find out that he took him under his door.He generally bestows favor on all but not himself.He has sharp eyes and ears, can understand the situation in the distance, and can gain insight into subtle things.He complied with the will of heaven and understood the urgency of the people.Benevolence and majesty, gentleness and trustworthiness, self-cultivation, the world will obey.He collects the products on the land and uses them frugally; he caresses and educates the people and teaches them all kinds of beneficial things; Know ghosts and gods, and serve them carefully.He was handsome and of high morals.He acted in season and acted like a scholar.Emperor Ku governed the people, just like the rain watering the farmland, spreading all over the world, wherever the sun and moon shine, and wherever the wind and rain come, there is no one who disobeys and submits.

At this time, since the Three Sovereigns had already been established, and the Five Sovereigns could not rely on the merits gained from governing the human race to achieve immortality, and their prestige among the human race was not comparable to that of the Three Sovereigns, so the saints only sent their disciples to the lower realms preach, and take them as disciples or assist them by chance.

When Emperor Ku abdicated in old age, Zhi, the son of his wife Xi Zi's daughter, succeeded him as the co-lord of the human race.However, Zhi died of illness within a few years after taking office, and everyone had no choice but to elect Fang Xun, the son of Di Ku's other wife Chen Feng's daughter, as his successor.After Fang Xun took over as the co-lord of the human race, he changed his name to Yao.At this time, Duobao was intercepted and taught to catch up with Guangchengzi to return to the mountain. Duobao happened to meet him and decided to assist Yao.During Yao's reign, he practiced a benevolent government and followed Zhuanxu's example to implement the Datong policy for the human and witch races. After Zhuanxu came to power, the human race and the witch race ushered in another fusion.Later, Yao saw that although the current people's life and work were guided by the timekeeping method formulated by Xuanyuan Renhuang, it was still insufficient.Under his order, the ministers formulated the original calendar according to the law of sunrise and sunset and the distribution of stars in the sky, and guided the production and migration of the people according to the solar terms.The length of a year is determined to be 360 ​​six days, and a leap month is set to adjust the four seasons.On the vernal equinox, the day is as long as the night, and the star in the Suzaku seven constellations appears in the south when it is first fainted, and the time of mid-spring is determined accordingly.At this time, the people dispersed their work, and the birds and beasts gave birth and mated.

He also ordered Uncle Xi, who lives in Nanjiao, to arrange the summer farm work step by step, and do it carefully.On the day of the summer solstice, the day is the longest, and the heart (also known as the big fire) of the seven constellations of the Canglong appears in the south when it is first fainted, and the time of midsummer is determined accordingly.At this time, the people live in high places, and the feathers of birds and beasts are sparse.He also ordered Hezhong, who lives in Xitu, which is called Shibuya, to send the sun down respectfully, and arrange the autumn harvest step by step.On the day of the autumnal equinox, the night is as long as the day, and the virtual night among the seven constellations of Xuanwu appears in the south when it is first fainted. Based on this, the time of Zhongqiu is determined.At this time, the people moved to the flat land, and the birds and beasts regenerated.He also ordered Uncle He to live in the north, which is called Youdu, and carefully arrange the winter.On the day of the winter solstice, the day is the shortest, and the Pleiades, one of the seven constellations of the white tiger, appear in the south when they first faint, and the time of midwinter is determined accordingly.At this time, the people went into the house to keep warm, and the birds and beasts were covered with fine hair.There are 360 ​​six days in a year, and the method of setting the leap month is used to correct the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.Emperor Yao sincerely warned all officials to keep their duties, and all kinds of things were done.With the passage of time, Yao gradually aged.In order to be able to choose a suitable successor, Yao began to conduct extensive research and selection among the human race with the ministers.Later, the ministers recommended Chonghua, a descendant of Emperor Zhuanxu, to him.

Although this Chonghua is a descendant of Emperor Zhuanxu, his family background is very humble and he is in the lower class of society.Chonghua's father was a utterly confused man, and people called him Gusou (meaning blind old man).After Chonghua's biological mother died, he married another wife and had a son named Xiang.Chonghua's stepmother was very harsh, and Chonghua was born with double pupils, so his stepmother treated him very badly.The stepmother's younger brother, named Xiang, is so arrogant that he can't be said, but Gusou dotes on him very much.Chonghua lives in such a family of "the father is stubborn, the mother is arrogant, and the elephant is proud", but he treats his parents and younger brother very well.Therefore, everyone thinks that Shun is a man of good character.
