"Y-what do you say?" Yao Duo's eyes were clearly swaying with intoxicating flames.

"You...... Are you calling me to—to make a personal promise? Shaokang's heart trembled. He almost ran out of breath, so he changed the subject,

"Since ancient times...... Since ancient times, 'the life of parents, the words of matchmakers'! Even if I have the heart to repay, can you and my parents agree? Who are your parents? How could they send you to Kunwu? ”

After speaking, Shaokang put his right hand on his chest, as if he was afraid that his heart would pop out.

"I am Yao Duo, the princess of Yuguo! Fang Ling eighteen. This time, I was ordered by my father to go to Kunwu to investigate the robbery of the treasure! Yao Duo, who was leaning over his ear, stood up and officially introduced himself.

Shaokang, who was drunk by Yao Duo's "smoke", saw her straighten up, finally took a long breath, and continued to ask:

"The treasure has been robbed..."

"Last month, on the birthday of the king of Kunwu, my father sent four boxes of jewels as a birthday gift, not wanting to be robbed by traitors halfway. My father sent me to Kunwu this time to investigate the matter, find the jewels, and give them to the king of Kunwu. ”

After Yao Duo explained the reason why he came to Kunwu Kingdom, he looked at Shaokang with affectionate eyes and asked:

"What about you? Why was the arrow hit? Why cross the river on horseback? Yao Duo also wanted to know his background.

"My life experience is hard to describe!" Shaokang was full of emotion.

"Then tell me—" Yao Duo's clear eyes showed a gentle flame, and her smile was particularly moving, and two lovely dimples fluttered on her radiant face.

Looking at her graceful fairy-like expression, a trace of warmth passed through Shaokang's heart: he did need to talk, but was she a person who was willing to listen? So Shaokang said softly:

"My story is long, you—would you like to hear it?" There was uneasiness in his eyes, but more of expectation.

"Yes!" Yao Duo's eyes were as clear as water.

"Then we have to start with my ancestors!" Shao Kang narrated, "I am a descendant of Dayu, and I am surnamed Xiahou." My name is Shaokang and I am 19 years old. ”

"Are you a descendant of Dayu? It's amazing! Yao Duo's beautiful face showed a look of surprise, "Dayu controls the water, and he passes through the door three times without entering, and everyone praises it." He also conscripted the rebellious Sanmiao and made great achievements. ”

Therefore, Shun gave up the "king" throne to the virtuous Dayu. After the death of Dayu, he gave up the throne to the leader of Dongyi, Boyi. But Boyi is not convinced by the hearts of the people. So people elected Dayu's son Qi as the king. Looking at her charming eyes, Shaokang continued,

Boyi was not convinced, so he fought with Qi. After a bloody battle, Kai was victorious. Since then, the hereditary system has replaced the Zen concession system. Therefore, after Qi's death, he passed the throne to Taikang. ”

"Is 'Taikang lost the country'? My queen mother told me this story. She said that Taikang only cares about drinking and having fun, and does not care about political affairs. Once, Taikang took his family and cronies to the north shore of Luoshui for a safari, but he didn't come back for three months, which made everything go to waste and the people's grievances boiled. Hou Yi, the leader of the poor tribe of the Dongyi tribe, took the opportunity to raise troops and seize the capital of Xia. Yao Duo flashed his big innocent eyes and said,

Taikang came back with his prey, walked to the bank of Luoshui, and saw that there were heavy guards on the opposite bank, so he sent people across the river to inquire, only to know that Houyi would not let him return to the capital. The leaders of the tribes were not satisfied with Taikang's absurdity, and they were afraid of Hou Yi's strength, so no one came to help. Taikang regretted it, so he had to build a city in Yangxia to live. ”

"This is the shame of the Xiahou clan! Taikang's five younger brothers, seeing that their brother did not return to the capital, accompanied their mother to the south bank of Luoshui and looked forward to returning, but did not wait for Taikang's return. The five brothers composed the "Song of the Five Sons". "Shaokang is a little sad,

"It is to the effect that our ancestor Dayu once taught his descendants that the people are the foundation of the country. Only when there is fundamental stability can the country be peaceful. The king should be diligent in his political affairs. If you are greedy for wine, good for hunting, or build a large number of buildings and palaces, then you will lose the support of the people and lead to the destruction of the country. Remembering our ancestor Dayu. As the king of all nations, he ruled the world in an orderly manner and enabled the people to live and work in peace and contentment. What a wise monarch he was! Today, Taikang disobeys the teachings of his ancestors and abandons political affairs, making the people hate us, causing the dynasty founded by our ancestors to be subverted and trapped in a miserable situation. It's so good! How painful it is for us to make a great mistake! ”

"It can be seen how sad these five younger brothers are!" Yao Duo's tone was also a little sad, "The queen mother said that Hou Yi didn't dare to set himself up as the king!" ”

The history of the Xia Dynasty is very tortuous, and the queen of Youyu naturally wants to inform her children, but she just wants them to remember the story of humiliation and learn from it.

"Your queen mother is right!" Shaokang was in awe of Queen Youyu, "Hou Yi set up Taikang's younger brother Zhongkang as the king of Xia. Zhong Kang is my grandfather! ”

"You turned out to be the grandson of Xia Wang Zhongkang!" Yao Duo saw a cold and uninhibited aura from Shaokang's handsome and sunny face, and it really came from the emperor's house! She continues the story of the queen mother,

The queen mother said that although Hou Yi established Zhongkang as the king of Xia, the real power was in his own hands. Moreover, he also made a harsh demand to your grandfather, Zhong Kang, that the Xia Dynasty should not only exempt the poor countries from paying taxes, but also provide double taxes to the poor countries every year. Zhong Kang had no choice but agreed. ”

"However, my grandfather was not willing to be a puppet. He appointed Yinhou as the Great Sima and was in charge of the Sixth Division. In fact, the invasion of poor countries taught my grandfather a very good lesson that if a country wants to stay in power, it must have a strong army. Shaokang's dark and deep eyes, glowing with stubbornness, he said,

Therefore, he ordered the Marquis of Yin to recruit young and middle-aged people into the army in the country, and planned to conduct military training to improve combat capability. After the appointment of Zhuan, Fan has been a prince, sealed in Kunwu, called Xia Bo. The Kunwu clan later developed into a powerful clan and became an important ally of the Xia Dynasty. ”

"That's why you came to Kungoku, right? Seek an alliance! Yao Duo's smart smiling face was full of soft ripples, beautiful and lovely, which made Shaokang's heart overflow with unknown feelings.

"Princess Yao Duo, you are really smart!" Shaokang sincerely praised. Yes! She is not only beautiful, but also intelligent!

"That's nature!" Yao Duo looked a little smug and picturesque, and she continued to talk about the history of the Xia Dynasty that the queen mother told her.

The queen mother said that after several years of development and construction, the army of the Xia Dynasty gradually became stronger. Your grandfather, King Zhongkang of Xia, thought that he was already capable of contending with the poor nations, so he announced that he would no longer pay tribute to the poor countries, and ordered the poor countries to continue to pay taxes to the Xia dynasty.
