The Seventeenth Century, the Second Chapter of the Summer
After the death of Dayu, Xia Houqi had the intention to usurp the throne, so he abolished the Zen throne system, replaced Boyi, the legal heir selected by Xia Yu, and ascended the throne of King Xia. The result of Xia Qi's move was to openly turn the public world into a family world.
As a result, the "Zen concession system" that had been passed down for several generations was replaced by the "hereditary system" inherited from father to son, and China's history stepped from a primitive society to a slave society. From then on, China's first formal dynasty, the "Xia Dynasty", was born.
Besides, Xia Houqi, who had just ascended the throne, felt good about himself when he first ascended the throne, but he didn't expect that suddenly Na Boyi would bring someone to the door and surround a "Yang Zhai (sound: flute) city", which made Xia Houqi anxious.
Xia Qi couldn't believe that the king of this country couldn't sit still, and he suddenly became a turtle in someone's urn. Xia Qi was really panicked, and hurriedly ordered to go down, and hurriedly convened the ministers to discuss the matter. At this time, the ministers had only been down to the court for a short time, and everyone hurried back to the court when they heard the summons.
Xia Qi said indignantly: "Ladies and gentlemen, Lone gave up the throne to Boyi before, but Boyi was not hypocritical. Now that Gu has just inherited the position of the Son of Heaven, he doesn't want to be the Boyi but he is yin and yang, but he is shameless and lonely in injustice. Now, Na Boyi has brought people and horses to gather under Yangzhai City to oppose me in Great Xia, how is this good? ”
At this time, the family from the Dongyi tribe, who is also the father of Xia Qi's concubines and wives, said: "King, the minister thinks that we are closing the city gate at this time, and then study a set of feasible countermeasures, and quickly organize the light and strong men and women in the city to form a temporary team to fight back." ”
Xia Qidao: "Aichen's method is feasible, but who will command the army?" ”
"King, it is best for you to personally lead the army to fight, so as to inspire people and make victory in sight." ”
Xia Qi was a little embarrassed, he said: "It's not proper, Lone only learned administrative management from his father before, and in addition, Lone doesn't know military affairs, and he is not good at commanding the army. How good is that? ”
At this time, the family said again: "Great King, the minister thinks that the newly established regime is not yet stable, and we are currently lacking in strength. If we are not ready, we will have some difficulty in fighting the Boyi army. Therefore, we need the cooperation of the military and the people to strengthen our defense, hold the city quietly, and find a respite to fight with Naboyi. ”
Xia Qidao: "Ladies and gentlemen, who else has any opinions?" Let's talk about it. ”
At this time, Xia Yu's original subordinates, from within the "Youxia Clan" tribe, and the father of Xia Qi's concubine Concubine Xu, said: "The king, the family's words are reasonable, but we must also quickly organize the team and actively train people in the city. No matter what, we can't sit still! ”
Xia Qidao: "The opinion of the two virtuous ministers, Lone has allowed it, now everyone will go down separately to mobilize the people." However, the ministers of the military department will stay first, and they will learn some military essentials from you, so that they can participate in and cooperate with everyone's actions in the future, so as to prevent the country from happening. ”
Boyi's army was menacing, and when they saw Xia Qigui cowering in the city, they surrounded the capital, and they also waved their flags and shouted outside the city every day. Xia Qicai didn't care about this, he seized the time to lead the army and civilians to practice day and night, in order to resist the Boyi army as soon as possible.
The people in the city could not leave the city, so they could only sit on food and clothing. In less than a month, food and water in the city were scarce. Some people starved to death, some fell ill, and many had to wait to die without treatment.
Xia Houqi watched the people who were sticking to the capital starve to death, he was really distressed, and he could no longer tolerate the innocent death of the people. Xia Qi saw that the capital could not be defended, so he discussed it with the ministers again.
Someone said: "King, we have finally held on for so long, we can't blindly go out of the city!" Getting out of town is not the best policy. After the city is opened, the city may be broken in an instant. ”
Someone said: "King, now that the food and water sources in the city have dried up, it is not a way for us to sit back and wait for death, maybe there is still a way to survive out of the city." ”
Xia Qi said: "Since then, we will die when we go out of the city, and we will die if we defend the city, so we can only fight against the water." ”
After Xia Qi finished speaking, he had no choice but to order someone to open the city gate, personally lead the soldiers to rush out of the city, and fight with the Boyi army.
Boyi had long looked forward to the day when the army and people of the capital would break through, and when they saw the city gate open, the army rushed over like hungry wolves. As soon as the two sides fought, Xia Qi's team was obviously defeated by the Boyi army, and they were quickly defeated.
Seeing that he was unable to recover the defeat, Xia Qi led the team to break out of the encirclement, but Boyi could not allow Xia Qi to escape under his nose, so he followed closely and chased after him. Ji Qi's team was finally wiped out, and Bo Yi occupied the capital in one fell swoop.
Seeing that the general trend had gone, Ji Qi rode a flying horse alone and rushed out of a bloody road and fled. Bo Yi was willing to let him go, he chased Ji Qi is a wild killing, and finally knocked Ji Qi off the horse with a whip.
Boyi didn't expect Ji Qi to be so unbearable, and he easily captured Ji Qi. So, Boyi directly took Ji Qi to the prison and imprisoned him. After the war, Bo Yi first spared the surviving people in the city, and he expelled all the ministers in the city who supported Ji Qi from the city.
At this time, the Dongyi tribe and the Youhu tribe led by Boyi were stationed in the city. Then, Boyi raised his own banner and took Great Xia as his own, so Boyi, with the cooperation of the Dongyi tribe and the Youhu clan, abolished the throne of Ji Qi and successfully ascended to the throne of the Xia king.
After Bo Yi ascended to the throne, in addition to the two major tribes of Dongyi and Youhu, there were very few tribes that supported him. Because everyone is still secretly supporting Ji Qi, they still like Ji Qi to be their monarch back and forth. Bo Yi saw that people were suspicious, so he forcibly controlled this part of the people.
In this way, Boyi is going farther and farther on the road of eliminating dissidents. By doing so, Bo Yi had actually chilled the hearts of those colleagues who had worked with him, so the ministers were even more determined to follow him.
Boyi didn't weigh this relationship, and he didn't know that he had lost people's hearts, but he was just glad that he had won the throne of the monarch. In addition to Boyi's joy, he also lavishly rewarded the meritorious officials of the Youhu tribe and the Dongyi tribe to celebrate their success in seizing power.
After Ji Qi was imprisoned, he saw Boyi's true face, and he found that Boyi was not only hypocritical but also unwise. Ji Qi secretly rejoiced that Bo Yi had inadvertently pushed some important figures to his side, which just strengthened his strength.
Ji Qi is no longer discouraged, but clear about the direction of future efforts, he feels that only by firmly grasping the political power is the right choice. Ji Qi knows that he still has many solid supporters, and they will definitely be able to help him achieve his ultimate wish.
Ji Qi's idea is indeed right, based on Emperor Yu's management and cultivation back then, those courtiers who were favored and promoted by Emperor Yu, they have always been grateful to the Xia Hou clan and will always treat Ji Qi as a benefactor. In order to repay Dayu's kindness, they rescued Ji Qi in many ways.
Dayu's inspiration is indeed an invisible force. In order to rescue Ji Qi and escape from prison as soon as possible, the supporters spared no effort to rush between the major tribes day and night.
As more and more people support Ji Qi, the Xia Hou clan has also deepened its roots and strengthened, and the team of supporters has grown day by day. Thus, Xia Qi's supporters began to rescue Xia Qi. First of all, Ji Qi's concubine and wife went to Boyi to intercede.
Mrs. said: "Da Fei (Bo Yi is also called 'Da Fei'), I know that since Dayu controlled the water, you have been following Dayu, and people say that you are Dayu's right-hand man." In fact, Dayu appreciates you very much, and entrusts you with important tasks, and he will pass on the throne to you, do you remember? ”
Boyi said: "Remember! To be honest, Di Yu has never been embarrassed by Boyi, so Boyi has always been grateful to Dayu. ”
Mrs. Dependent said: "Big fee, only because we are cousins and cousins, I dare to come here to beg you." I know that you are also a benevolent and righteous person, and you have no choice but to imprison Him. ”
Bo Yi said: "Yes! Don't look at Ji Qi being imprisoned, but for the sake of Dayu's kindness to me back then, Bo Yi did not embarrass Ji Qi, nor did he persecute him. The purpose of my imprisonment this time is only for fear that his words and deeds will have a bad impact on my claim to be king. ”
"Then my sister is here, thank you Brother Dafei first! In fact, Ji Qi is also a heartless person, because he is straight-hearted, he was instigated by others to take the throne. His ability can be compared to Brother Daye, and I will persuade him to obey Brother Daye well in the future. ”
Boyi said: "Then why did you come here? ”
"I'm just afraid that everyone will be embarrassed for Ji Qi, so I can't help but be a little worried."
Bo Yi said: "You don't have to be afraid of this, Ji Qi is not much restricted in prison, and his food is not bad, it can be said that Bo Yi is also benevolent and righteous to him." ”
Mrs. Jia said: "Then I only ask for one thing, so you will let Ji Qi go, right?" I promise that he won't fight you for the throne again, do you think it's okay? ”
Boyi laughed dryly and said: "Forgive Boyi for not being able to obey his fate, let the tiger return to the mountain, and there will be endless troubles in the future." ”
"Then, Brother Da Fei, you let me go and meet him, maybe I'll be relieved to see him."
Bo Yi said again: "I think, it's better not to see him, he's okay in prison, you don't have to worry, go back quickly." ”
Mrs. Dependents touched a nose of dust at Boyi, and could only return disappointed.
When Concubine Xu saw that Mrs. Xu came back alone, she cried and said, "Sister! What do we do in the future? If one day Boyi turns his face and kills our king, what will we do? ”
Mrs. Dependents also said, "Yes! Younger sister! If the king doesn't come back for a day, he will be in danger all the time, what should we do? Let's find someone to rescue the king! ”
Concubine Xu said: "There are still some of my father's old subordinates in this city, I think let them find a way to rescue the king as soon as possible!" ”
"Sister! In this case, let's hurry up, the king's life is the most valuable, I think the sooner the better! ”
