The fifteenth period, Dayu controls the water Chapter 14 Dayu gives way

Emperor Yu wanted to give up the throne to Gaotao, but he learned the news of Gaotao's death, which made him extremely sad, and he had been sad for a long time. The elders also lamented Gaotao's death, and they then recommended Gaotao's brother Boyi as the new king.

Boyi has also followed Di Yu to control the water for many years, and the two of them have also been brothers and friends, so Di Yu also appreciates him. Di Yu knew that Boyi was also very successful in politics. So, he summoned Boyi to the imperial capital and asked him about some questions.

Di Yu asked Boyi: "Boyi, as an emperor, what should I do to be reasonable in everything?" ”

Boyi said: "As a king, you must be forward-looking and thoughtful in everything. Don't go against the laws and systems, don't enjoy yourself excessively, don't go against the laws to pursue the reputation of the people, and don't go against the will of the people to satisfy your own desires.

We must not slack off in governing the country, we must not waste political affairs, modesty will be beneficial, complacency can lead to failure, we must select the virtuous and appoint, and eliminate the evil and evil. Only by gaining the trust of the people of the world can we truly govern the world well. ”

Di Yu admired Boyi's answer, and he asked Boyi again: "Boyi, if you are asked to be the emperor, what should you do?" ”

Bo Yi said: "Emperor Yu, the minister thinks that we must first advocate governing the world with benevolence and virtue. As long as we sincerely believe in the benevolence represented by Emperor Yao and Emperor Shun as a strategy for governing the country, we will surely be able to succeed. In that way, the ministers and the king will be more harmonious, and all aspects of the court and government will complement each other. ”

When Di Yu heard Boyi say this, he also had a bottom in his heart, so he agreed with Boyi's point of view.

Boyi said: "Emperor Yu, Boyi also believes that the way to govern the country needs to be cautious, not only to be loyal to his duties, but also to take precautions. In this way, when encountering contingencies, there will be no unpreparedness and loss of proportion.

To be a human being, we must also have principles and laws, and we must not be greedy for pleasure. It cannot be done at the expense of going against the nature of nature. Don't be overjoyed, and don't rush blindly. And do not go against the wishes of the people, and submit to the desires of the powerful. Only in this way can we pacify the four empires and appease all the people in the world. ”

Di Yu happily said to Boyi: "Boyi! I like you for this, although your character is a little cowardly, but you don't hide your selfishness and dare to speak out. You are my good helper in the process of water control. Because you are a very hardworking, very upright, and very capable person, I admire you very much.

But you are too modest, too cowardly and easy-going, and you lack the ability to act decisively. As my successor, I am really worried that after a king with a character like yours, it will be difficult to control the people of the world. But I am still optimistic about your character, and I still decided to give you the throne. ”

Hearing Di Yu's promise, although Bo Yi was excited, he had no confidence. He believes that to be like Emperor Yao's Zen position Emperor Shun, his acceptance of Emperor Yu's Zen position is not without risk. Because, Di Yu's son Ji Qi is also a shrewd and capable person, maybe he will ...... him.

At that time, Boyi was appreciated by Emperor Shun because of his meritorious service in assisting Dayu to control the water, and won the honor of marrying Emperor Shun's daughter, so Boyi's political status was also greatly improved.

After Dayu succeeded Emperor Shun as the co-leader of the tribal alliance, he also appreciated Boyi's efforts to lay Kyushu, so he recommended Boyi as his heir.

However, at this time, Emperor Yu owned Kyushu in the world, and he already had the power that an emperor should have. At this time, the world is peaceful, the country is rich and the people are strong. Although the prosperous era was not easy to come by, Emperor Yu has also been able to sit back and enjoy its success, like a spring breeze.

In fact, at this moment, Di Yu also began to devote himself to cultivating his family's power. On the one hand, Di Yu admired Boyi's virtuous ability, and he said that he wanted to pass on the world to Boyi. On the other hand, he specially selected his son Qi's subordinates to serve as officials at all levels. As a result, Boyi supported the false name of the heir of Emperor Yu in vain,

Di Yu's son Ji Qi has been very smart since he was a child, although his father is not by his side, but his mother has given him meticulous care and enough opportunities to learn. His mother had invited some of the most knowledgeable gentlemen in the world to teach him, and he had learned a lot from his teachers.

Ji Qi was smart and studious, and later his father Wang Diyu often took him to some social activities. This allowed him to increase his knowledge, broaden his horizons, enrich his experience, and lay a foundation for him in many aspects.

Ji Qi has the help of his father and the enlightenment of his teacher. Although he was young, he had already mastered the conditions for managing administrative matters, mastered the knack of entering the political arena, and he was a man of wealth at a young age.

Di Yu values his son very much and wants to train him well. Therefore. Whenever he was busy with work, Di Yu often asked Ji Qi to help review documents. And large things such as managing documents and archives are often handed over to Ji Qi to do.

Maybe Ji Qizhen has a talent in this area, every time Di Yu gives him a task, he does it in an orderly and perfect way. This made Di Yu very satisfied. Although Di Yu didn't say anything, he also thought in his heart that his son might be the best candidate to succeed the emperor.

Because Di Yu has paid too much hard work, his body and mind have long been exhausted. So he reigned for only fifteen years, and he had already come to the end of his life. Fortunately, since Dayu's success in controlling the water, the imperial concubine and the concubine have been inseparable from him.

Once, Di Yu and Nu Jiao traveled to Huiji Mountain, but Dayu got sick there. Seeing that Dayu's condition was not improving, Nujiao hurriedly notified her son Ji Qilai to pick them up.

On this day, Dayu, who was seriously ill, suddenly said to Nujiao: "Nujiao Imperial Concubine!" I was away from you for so many years, but you gave all your heart and soul to me and my children, and I will never forget what you did. All along, you have suffered for me in obscurity and supported my career without regrets, all of which I have in mind. ”

Nujiao said: "Husband, look at you, when did this happen, why are you still mentioning it?" I am part of the family, and I deserve to make sacrifices for this family. ”

Di Yu said affectionately: "Imperial concubine! My good wife! I'm so sorry for you. I'm sick now, and it seems like I don't have much time to spend with you, and it's very sad to think about it.

O my wife! Before I leave, I am afraid that a simple thank you will not be enough to say to you. But I can't think of how to thank you. Your kindness to me is beyond my words! ”

When Nujiao heard Dayu say this, she was also a little emotional. Nujiao knew that Dayu was seriously ill, this might be explaining to her what was going on, her heart was not good, and tears were rolling in her eyes.

Di Yu muttered again: "My wife! I knew I was dying. After I leave, you have to take care, because I still have to trouble you to continue to assist our Qi'er.

Qi'er is the joint effort of the two of us, he is a good material for managing the country, and I don't know if he can take on the heavy responsibility of governing China. Before leaving, I can only leave here with peace of mind if I leave the child in your hands. ”

Nujiao held back her tears and said calmly: "Husband, don't think nonsense, let's follow you, he is definitely a good person to manage the country, you can rest assured." Besides, I will definitely be interested in our children, who will help him if I don't help him? ”

Today's Emperor Yu seems to really have a lot to say, and he continued: "Imperial Concubine, I still have one more thing to worry about. Although Bo Yi is my designated heir, his ability is also outstanding. But he has a weak temperament and is not decisive enough in the face of problems, and it is difficult to say whether he can carry the burden.

Before these things are dealt with, I am about to die, so how can I go with confidence? But I want to say to you, O Imperial Princess! What I owe you in this life will be repaid in the next life, since I can't pay you back in this life, I can only say thank you. ”

When Nujiao saw Di Yu's sad appearance, she smiled and comforted him: "Dayu, my husband, I think you are thinking too much." There's nothing wrong with your body, I have a number of this.

Husband! You're really funny, how can anyone owe anyone between this husband and wife. You say thank you on the left, thank you on the right, who are the two of us, you are still so polite to me, I am really angry if you do this again. ”

Dayu coughed twice and said with difficulty: "Imperial concubine!" Even if we are husband and wife, but you have given so much for me and Qi'er, I should thank you. ”

Nujiao saw that Dayu was coughing badly, so she hurriedly helped him beat his back, brought Di Yu a bowl of water, and fed him a few sips.

Then, she said: "Dayu, my husband, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren." I believe that our Qi'er will live up to your expectations, and he will definitely govern the world well, so you can rest assured.

Back then, you controlled the water in Kyushu for thirteen years, and you didn't enter the house three times, and I never complained about you at that time. Now that we've only been together for a few days, you're going to leave me alone? That's not going to work, I'm not going to let you go. ”

Dayu looked at Nujiao with vague teary eyes and said: "Imperial concubine, my wife, I don't want to leave, I really don't want to leave you!" But I ......"

Nujiao also said with tears in her eyes: "Dayu, my husband!" I see that you are always so nostalgic for me, you are reluctant to leave me, are you? What's that, it's a big deal, let's go together, I'll be with you in life and death.

Anyway, I can't live without you in this life, and I can't survive if you leave. Since I am your person in life, I am also your ghost in death. I won't let you leave alone no matter what, I don't think you want to run away, I will chase you wherever you go. ”

Dayu listened to Nujiao's words, held Nujiao's hand tightly, and two lines of tears burst out of his eyes. Dayu was just about to say something more, when suddenly, a mouthful of blood surged into his heart. Nujiao hurriedly reached out to pick it up, it was too late, and when she brought a handkerchief to wipe him, Dayu had already closed her eyes.

Nujiao didn't hesitate at the moment, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to catch up with Dayu's pace, and she didn't care about crying for Dayu a few times, so she hit her head on the wall next to the bed. At this time, Ji Qi had just rushed over, but he saw his mother die in front of him on the spot.

When Qi'er reacted, she hurriedly rescued her mother, but it was too late, and Dayu and his wife had already died and returned to the west. Ji Qi remorsefully cried his father and his mother, and his voice was heartbreaking.

Ji Qi had no way to get his parents back, so he could only kneel on the ground and cry. In the end, according to the wish of his father Dayu, he buried his parents together on the membership mountain.

After Dayu's death, his son Juan Qi finally ascended to the throne after a power struggle. Since then, Ji Qi has abolished the old model of the emperor's throne and opened a new precedent for the hereditary succession of the emperor.

The hereditary Great Xia Dynasty, the home of the Chinese Dynasty was born, and it was the first formal dynasty of the state-owned system in the history of our country - "Xia". The capital of the Xia Dynasty was built in the "Anyi" city under the Xuanyuan Mountain, the fiefdom of the Xia capital.

At this point, the slave society began. Since then, the land of China has opened a new era of human civilization, and the slave society has opened a new chapter in history.
