The Fourteenth Period, Yao Shun Zen Throne Chapter 5 Emperor Yao Rang Xian

Because Di Yao missed the deer fairy very much, he often went to Gushu Mountain to pay homage to her incense. Once, Di Yao found a woman among the pilgrims, who from a distance looked very much like his deer fairy. So, he couldn't help but chase after her.

Di Yao walked a few steps, and the woman also walked very quickly, he walked a few steps slowly, and the woman's pace slowed down. He was so anxious that Di Yao didn't know what to do, so he ran in the direction of the woman. However, due to the rugged mountain road, Di Yao actually fell to the ground in a heel fight.

When Di Yao saw that he could not catch up with the woman, he sat on the ground and wept bitterly. He cried and said, "Imperial Concubine! What is there about me Tang Yao who is sorry for you? You have made you so ruthless to me. I want to see you, why don't you want to see me? What am I doing wrong? You tell me, can't I change it? I beg you, come out and see me. ”

Suddenly, a pair of jade hands were placed on his shoulders, and he stepped forward and grabbed her. Di Yao looked up and saw that it was indeed his imperial concubine, so he stood up happily and hugged his long-lost imperial wife.

The deer fairy's face was a little embarrassed, and her tears were rolling in her eyes, and she said, "Yufu, it's true that I am a deer fairy, but I am no longer alive. On that day, I had returned to heaven by the ladder of heaven, and we would never see each other again. ”

Di Yao said suspiciously: "Imperial Concubine, you lied to me, impossible, impossible, how could this be?" ”

The deer fairy said: "Yufu, don't have any more illusions, I really can't come back." Today is my death day, and I'm here to tell you to forget about me. I see that our Zhu'er is doing well now, and I am relieved. I'm gone, you have to take care of yourself. Don't think about me, it's useless to think about it. ”

When Di Yao saw that the deer fairy was leaving, he grabbed her and didn't let her go. The deer fairy smiled bitterly and said, "Yufu, you are in a dream now, let's go here, I'm leaving." The deer fairy said this, and she ran down the ladder to the sky.

Di Yao looked at the sky and shouted: "Imperial Concubine, don't go, don't go, how can I live if you leave." ”

The voice of the deer fairy came from afar, and she said: "Yufu, don't be obsessed anymore, there are several famous people on another mountain not far from Gushu Mountain, they are very moral and intelligent, and they are definitely rare virtuous talents in the world." Hurry up and find them and govern your country well. ”

When Di Yao saw that the deer fairy was gone, he couldn't help but panic for a while, so he shivered suddenly. It turned out that he fell asleep next to the statue of the deer fairy. He rubbed his eyes, his own tears soaking his shirt.

Di Yao remembered that the deer fairy was running from the ladder to the sky, so he came to the bottom of the original ladder. Oh, there's still a shadow of a ladder here. The mountains and rivers here are still the same, the old appearance is hard to find, and the deer fairy and the ladder can no longer be found.

So, Di Yao wiped away his tears and went along Gushu Mountain to another mountain not far from him to look for those celebrities. Di Yao inquired around on that mountain and finally found them. Among these wise men, Di Yao also met his teacher "Xu You".

Di Yao's teacher Xu You was very knowledgeable, and all the knowledge that Di Yao learned about governing the country and leveling the world was taught to him by Xu You, so Di Yao admired him very much. Among these Magi, there is also Xu You's teacher "rodent".

Di Yao knew that the teacher's teacher would be more powerful, so Di Yao asked Xu Youdao: "Teacher, I believe that our country needs the wisest people to govern it, you said that your teacher lacks his knowledge more than you, can he be our son of heaven?" ”

Xu You looked at the teacher who was standing in the distance, shook his head and said: "I can't see it, because I know him too well, my teacher is a quick and talented person, he is very persistent in everything, he will always demand the highest standards that others can't meet." He will use his noble wisdom to abandon the natural nature of things and do everything possible to change things themselves. ”

Di Yao said: "Teacher, is there anything wrong with this?" ”

Xu You nodded and said: "Yes, he is not good like this, and such a result will often end up busy and thankless." So, no one will accept him. In my opinion, if I let someone like my teacher be the Son of Heaven, not only will he not succeed, but he will also mistake the people of the world. ”

So, Di Yao said to Xu You: "Teacher, you are the most intelligent person in the world in my eyes, so Fang Xun will implore you to take over my throne." ”

When Xu You heard this, he excused himself and said, "Emperor Yao, it's not me talking about you. You are too benevolent and righteous. Because it is not difficult for the common people to be reached, and if you love them, they will be close to you; If you praise them, they will work harder for you. If you give them good, they will be faithful to you. You do what they hate, and they will betray and turn away from you. ”

Di Yao clapped his hands and said quickly: "What the teacher said is too right, isn't it just for the common people to manage like this?" ”

Xu You continued: "But in this way, while you practice benevolence and righteousness, I am afraid that you will also use righteousness to gain at the same time. In fact, if you can't do this, it will become a tool of your hypocrisy. Therefore, not only will I not accept your invitation to the throne, but I also suggest that you do not act in some matters. ”

Although Di Yao felt that Xu You's words made sense, he still continued to plead: "Teacher, you also know that if the sun comes out and the torches are not extinguished, it will be in vain. As the Son of Heaven, I can't do more for the people of the world, and I feel ashamed to stand on this throne. The reason why I am giving you the throne now is because I want to use your wisdom to govern the world better. Please allow me to entrust the world to you, and the teacher will sit in the world, and the world will be peaceful. ”

Xu You continued to excuse himself and said, "Emperor Yao, you are wrong about this. Since the world has been governed by you in an orderly manner, and you still let me be a ready-made son of heaven for you, isn't it in vain for me? Do you want the world to laugh at me? ”。

When Xu You said this, he didn't dare to explain it to Di Yao in detail. So, early the next morning, he secretly set off. Later, he arrived at the foot of Mt. Kei. There he ploughed the fields and ate every day, and lived very happily ever since.

Among these Magi was a man named "Zenjuan", but he lived on another mountain. Shanjuan is a virtuous person who values righteousness over profit, is not greedy for wealth, and is not arrogant or impetuous.

After Di Yao found the good scroll, he felt that his virtue was not as good as the good scroll. So he put Zenmaki in the main position, and then bowed down and asked Zenmaki for advice with the same courtesy as he did with his teacher.

Di Yao respectfully said to Shanjuan: "Teacher, before Fang Xun met you, he always thought that he had done his best for the people of the world, and he was worthy of the people. However, since getting to know the teacher, Fang Xun feels ashamed of himself. Teacher, just help me! I think you are the only one who can help me take up the task of ruling the world. ”

Shanjuan smiled and replied: "Emperor Yao, you don't know, I am a person who has no desires and no desires. I was born in the universe, wearing leather clothes in winter and arrowroot cloth in summer; Spring planting and autumn harvest, there is work and rest; The sun rises and the sun sets; I was at ease all day long, contented. You say I don't lack anything, what else do I want to do in the world? I think you still don't know me well. ”

Emperor Yao saw that Shanjuan was also so stubborn, so he repeatedly kept the teacher, but Shanjuan was still not moved by the throne. In the end, he was afraid that Di Yao would come back to entangle, so Shanjuan went to live in seclusion in a karst cave in Yixing in the south.

Di Yao was originally sincere to let Xian, but was unanimously rejected by everyone. He was thinking, am I not sincere enough? Why didn't everyone accept my invitation?

Later, Di Yao heard that the teacher "Pu Yi" was very knowledgeable, so Di Yao traveled a long way to visit. Pu Yi does have a university question, because he is the teacher of Xu You's teacher, and that knowledge must not be wrong.

After Di Yao found Pu Yi, Pu Yi was already very old, but he was not arrogant and very approachable. That day, Pu Yi said to Di Yao with a kind smile, chatting with Di Yao, talking about the past and the present, and talking about many great truths that Di Yao had never understood, which benefited Di Yao a lot.

But in the end, Pu Yi still rejected Di Yao's request. Di Yao had no choice but to worship Pu Yi as a teacher again, and he asked Pu Yi for permission to ask for advice and visit at any time, and the teacher agreed to his request. From then on, the place where they talked about the Great Road was called the "pulpit."

Di Yao worked tirelessly to find a number of sages and masters and let them come out to rule the world together. However, he repeatedly let the virtuous, but everyone did not accept it, so Di Yao continued to take on the important task of governing the country.

However, the calendar at that time was not perfect, in order to make agricultural production to follow, Di Yao sent "Xi Zhong" to the coast of the East China Sea to observe the sunrise, with the day of the equinox of day and night as the spring equinox; Send "Uncle Xi" to "Mingdu" to observe the movement of the sun from north to south. Take the day with the longest day as summer; Send "Hezhong" to the "valley" to observe the sunset, and the day when the day and night have been divided is the autumn equinox; Send "Uncle He" to the "Youdu" to observe the condition of the sun from south to north, and take the day with the shortest day as the winter solstice.

Through joint research, we finally determined that 366 days are a year, with a leap month every three years. Because the leap month made the agricultural time of the four seasons more certain, the farming culture of the Diyao era had a leap forward.

Because Di Yao was incarnated by a divine dragon, he was particularly sensitive to any aura. There is a place called "Dishuitan" that is very spiritual, so he led everyone there to develop agricultural production, and sure enough, every year the grain is abundant, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

In order to thank God for his kindness, Di Yao led everyone to select the best grain, first soaked in the water of the dripping pool, and then used a special method to remove impurities, and then used a series of methods to extract the essence, which became a clear and fragrant blessing water.

Because it was made by Di Yao and led by everyone, the people called this mellow blessing water "Hua Yao", which is our oldest wine. Every time the wine is served, Di Yao always toasts the best wine to the heavens first, and then distributes it to the people to taste, so that everyone can live a healthy life together.

Di Yao paid great attention to agricultural production, and under his leadership, the people's lives were prosperous. There is just one thing that makes Di Yao very headache, recently, his son "Danzhu" has become more and more rebellious, and he still refuses to accept the discipline of his stepmother Sanyi.

Di Yao is entangled in affairs, and he has no time to educate his son, how can this be done? Danzhu is a young man who is not doing his job, he is idle all day long, and often gathers some fox friends and dog friends to cause trouble. In order to make Danzhu good, Di Yao wanted to teach him a few samples first.

At first, Di Yao felt that he should first find someone who Dan Zhu was interested in to teach him. So, Di Yao decided to teach his son to hunt first. He prepared bows, crossbows, horses, and horses for his son, and took him to hunt wild beasts.

When they arrived at the hunting grounds, they encountered a large wolf that had lost its pack. But Danzhu didn't know how to use a bow and crossbow, and he almost let the big wolf eat it, so scared that Danzhu didn't dare to go out hunting anymore.

Di Yao saw that Danzhu didn't like hunting, so he had to sigh and say, "Zhu'er, I'll teach you stone chess, right?" Don't think that this chess piece is just a tool for entertainment, in fact, there are some principles of marching and fighting here, and it can be very useful if you learn it."

After his father's guidance, Danzhu seemed to find it very interesting, so he raised his spirit and wanted to learn it. Seeing that his son was interested, Di Yao hurriedly used his sword to draw more than a dozen squares on the ground. Then, he picked up a bunch of small pebbles and played chess with Danzhu and half of them.

Di Yao also taught his son chess hand-in-hand. In the first few days, Danzhu felt that this was very new, he was very attentive to his learning, and his chess skills improved quickly. Di Yao thought that his son had changed his mind, so he discussed with the Sanyi clan that as long as Danzhu could be motivated, he would pass the throne to Danzhu.

But it didn't take long for Danzhu's old problem to happen again, and he often caused trouble at the instigation of some bad people. In order to manage Danzhu well, Di Yao often scolded him angrily to teach him a lesson.

When the gang saw that Di Yao was like this to Dan Zhu, they instigated him and said: "Dan Zhu, since Di Yao doesn't like you, he will definitely pass the throne to the three sons of the Sanyi clan, I think, you had better take the throne of Di Yao as soon as possible while your brothers are still young and ignorant." ”

When Di Yao heard this, he was angry, he didn't expect that his son who had worked hard to educate would be like this. Di Yao was very heartwarming and annoyed, and he couldn't help but ask himself: How can my emperor's son be so unlucky!

Di Yao had nowhere to relieve his boredom, so he came to the statue of the deer fairy, and he told the deer fairy: "Imperial concubine, I, Tang Yao, am sorry for you." I didn't educate my son well, but I let him get into bad habits. What can I do? ”

Later, Di Yao saw that Zhu Dan had become more violent, and Di Yao was so angry that his liver qi was stagnant all of a sudden, and he suddenly fell seriously ill.

Seeing that Di Yao was sick, San Yi was also heartbroken. She felt that she was the culprit who caused Zhu Dan to become bad, because she doted on this child too much, and she spoiled Zhu Dan.

In the end, due to remorse, Sanyi suffered from an incurable disease, and after only a few months, Sanyi died of illness.

The death of the imperial concubine undoubtedly dealt another heavy blow to Di Yao. He was very sad and hated Danzhu so much, he never wanted to see this son who made him chill again. This time, Di Yao pondered for a long time, and he finally made up his mind to send Dan Zhu to the remote south.

Although Di Yao was the emperor, he never thought about himself during his reign for many years, and his life was very simple. In fact, since Di Yao came to power, he only lived in the palace for a short time, and most of the time he was always outside to observe the people's feelings.

Every time Di Yao went out on patrol, he never made anything special, he often lived in a thatched hut and ate wild vegetable soup. He wore coarse cloth clothes woven from kudzu vines, and he always had the suffering of the people in mind.

In order to manage the country more systematically, Di Yao appointed ministers at all levels according to the needs of various types of government affairs, which made all walks of life have special people in charge.

In order to get the voice of the people in time, Di Yao also set up a "drum of desire" in front of the palace gate to facilitate the people to sue the emperor and enter the advice. He also set up a "slander wood" on the transportation arteries of the capital to facilitate the people to supervise the minister's behavior.

In this way, Di Yao was able to hear the different opinions and suggestions of the people on him or the important ministers of the state in a timely manner. And according to the actual situation, the people's suffering or difficulties can be solved in a timely manner.

Since Di Yao's concubine deer fairy left, the water god Gonggong has lost control, and it has risen up again. For some time now, there have been several major floods in various localities. By listening to the voices of the people, Di Yao understood the current flood situation, so he asked the Quartet Bohou to discuss countermeasures.

Di Yao asked them: "Ladies and gentlemen, now that the floods are rising, do you know who can manage the current floods well, you might as well recommend a few talents in this area." ”

One of them recommended: "Emperor Yao, the great-grandson 'Kun' is very good at controlling water, you might as well use him to take a look." ”

But Di Yao said: "Kun is the great-great-grandson of Zhuan, yes, he is also well-known in water control, but although he has great ambitions, his ability is really limited, I always feel that this person is unreliable." He also often disobeyed orders and endangered the interests of his own people on many occasions, and I do not think he is fit to undertake this important work. ”

But the princes said: "Emperor Yao, now there is another set of water control in the whole world, that is, Kun, you might as well let Kun try it." ”

Di Yao saw that everyone unanimously recommended Kun, and he couldn't stick to it anymore. So, he ordered Kun to deal with the floods. Kun is gone, but there are still floods in various places, which makes Di Yao very uneasy.
