Legend of the Great Desolation

Chapter 60 Five Emperors Rule the World ([-])

After hearing what the ministers said about Chonghua, Yao decided to inspect Chonghua.He married his two daughters, Ehuang and Nvying, to Chonghua. He also built a granary for Chonghua and gave him a lot of cattle and sheep.When the stepmother and younger brother saw each other, they were both envious and jealous at the same time, and together with Gusou, they plotted against Chonghua several times.

Once, Gusou asked Chonghua to repair the roof of the granary.When Chonghua climbed up to the roof of the barn with a ladder, Gusou set a fire underneath, trying to burn Chonghua to death.When Chonghua saw a fire on the roof of the warehouse, he wanted to find a ladder, but the ladder had disappeared.Fortunately, Chonghua carried two hats for sun protection.Holding his hat in both hands, he jumped down like a bird spreading its wings.The hat fluttered in the wind, and Shun landed lightly on the ground without being injured at all.

Gusou and Xiang were not reconciled, and they asked Chonghua to dig a well.After Chonghua jumped into the well, Gusou and Xiang threw pieces of earth and rocks on the ground to fill up the well, trying to bury Shun alive in it.Unexpectedly, after Chonghua went down the well, he dug a tunnel beside the well, got out, and returned home safely.Xiang didn't know that Chonghua was already out of danger, so he returned home triumphantly, and said to Gusou: "This time, my brother must be dead. I came up with this clever plan."Now we can divide my brother's property.After speaking, he walked to the house where Chonghua lived.Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the room, Chonghua was sitting by the bed and playing the piano.Xiang was secretly surprised, and said embarrassedly: "Hey, I miss you so much!" Chonghua also pretended to be nonchalant, and said: "You came just in time, I have a lot of things, and I need you to help me take care of them." From then on, Chonghua still treated his parents and younger brother kindly and kindly as before, and Gusou and Xiang didn't dare to plot against Chonghua again.

After Yao knew about it, he confirmed that Chonghua was indeed a person of good moral character and quite capable, so he gave Chonghua the position of co-owner of the human race.At this time, Duobao was also following Yao to find the next co-lord of the human race, so the chances would be greater. Unexpectedly, Duobao really got the hang of it, and then Yao Chan gave way to Chonghua, and Duobao also assisted Chonghua gorgeous.After Chonghua took over, he was also industrious and frugal, working like ordinary people, and was trusted by everyone.After a few years, Yao retired and disappeared. Chonghua also wanted to give up the position of co-lord of the human race to Yao's son Danzhu, but the ministers did not agree.Only then did Chonghua officially become the co-lord of the human race. Afterwards, like Yao, he changed his name to Shun, and everyone called him Emperor Shun.

During Shun's reign, the calendar was revised, and a grand ceremony was held to worship the saints, the four seasons of heaven and earth, and the gods of mountains and rivers; he also collected the letters of the leaders of each tribe, and then selected an auspicious day to summon the leaders of the tribes from all over the country. , A grand ceremony was held to re-issue Xingui.Afterwards, Shun patrolled various places, offered sacrifices to famous mountains, summoned tribal leaders, and inspected the people's conditions; he also stipulated that he would patrol every five years to inspect the achievements of the princes, set rewards and punishments, and paid attention to the connection with the local area, so as to strengthen the rule of the local area.

Later, Shun appointed Gun as Sikong to manage water and soil; Qi as Houji to be in charge of agriculture; Qie as Situ to promote enlightenment; Remuneration; Ming Chui is in charge of "Gonggong", and all craftsmen can do their best; Mingyi is in charge of "Yu", in charge of mountains and forests; The music officer is in charge of music and education; Minglong Dan is the "nayan" responsible for issuing orders and collecting opinions.It is also stipulated that the political performance shall be inspected once every three years, and the promotion or dismissal shall be determined by the results of the three inspections.Through such rectification, Shu Ji Xianxi, all work has a new look.Shun also asked people to draw the shapes of five punishments on the utensils to serve as a warning; exile was used instead of corporal punishment to show leniency.But whipping, punishment, and redemption are also set up, especially for criminals who refuse to repent, they must be severely punished, and the bad guys will be punished, and the people of the world will be convinced.Since then, the merits of Emperor Shun have been honored in the four seas, and the world's morality has started from Emperor Yu, presenting an unprecedented situation of peace.

During Shun's reign, in order to vigorously develop the human race, and at the same time fulfill his duties as one of the five emperors, it can be said that he worked hard.It is a pity that when Shun was about to abdicate, a terrible flood swept through.Shun was worried about the flood, and in order to control the flood as soon as possible, Shun issued a decree that whoever could control the flood could succeed the next co-lord of the human race.But the flood was too big, and there were not many people in the world who could deal with the flood, and no one came after a long time after the notice was issued.

And this time the flood was actually caused by the remnants of the monster race. After they knew that the witch race had come out once, they were not to be outdone. They used the water that accumulated in the great lake or mountain after it fell from the nine heavens. The Hydra is the most powerful monster after the ancient Great Sage Nine Infants. It is born with the ability to control water. It constantly squeezes the water into the narrow river, allowing the water to rush wantonly in the prehistoric human habitat. on the ground.The same is true for some other big monsters, but they only launched floods and did not kill people. After all, this is something they can't bear.But even so, the habitat of the human race was flooded, and the people were miserable.And there were also some human monks or other casual cultivators who went to check after receiving the notice issued by Human Emperor Shun, but these monks were not as powerful as those big monsters of the monster race, and they were all killed.

There was no one to deal with the flood, which made Shun very worried.In the end, Shun had no choice but to order Gun, who was full-time in water and soil management in the post of Sikong, to go to control the water.Although he had no clue about how to control the monstrous flood, Emperor Shun's order could not be disobeyed. After receiving Shun's order, Gun still bit the bullet and went to control the flood.Duobao thought that this might be the next emperor, so he suggested for him: "You can borrow the nine-day breath soil from Empress Nuwa to stop the raging flood." After hearing this, Gun asked the statue of Empress Nuwa After praying, a piece of Nine Heavens Resting Soil descended from the sky and appeared in front of Gun.Gun was very happy, thinking that Duobao's attention was very effective, so he didn't want to use the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil to block it.Although it worked for a while, when the larger water came, it bypassed the obstacles in front and continued to rush towards the habitat of the human race, and the disaster area of ​​the human race became wider.It can be seen from this that Duobao also didn't know how to control the water and came up with random ideas, but it caused even greater consequences. This made Duobao stay speechless, so he went back to teach.But when Shun inspected the country, he found that Gun used the method of blocking the water to control the water, not only did not achieve any results, but made the flood worse.In a rage, Shun ordered Gun to be executed on Mount Yu.
