349. Why did Yao Shun kill Kun
After resting for a night, everyone was full of energy, and after Xu Le insisted on leaving five hundred yuan and asked them to help understand the surrounding education, Xu Le took people on the road again!
It took eight hours from the morning to Azhetang, and it arrived at five o'clock in the evening, the sun had not yet set, Xu Le originally thought about going to Yangbajing, it was a little late, and the other thing was that he would go back to Namco tomorrow, not good!
The air is cold, with small snowflakes drifting, and the area around the geothermal fields is always filled with white mist, and a huge steam mass rises from the surface of the lake, like a fairyland on earth.
Xu Le asked everyone to arrange their accommodation, and they all entered the hot spring pool, where the hot spring water contains a large amount of hydrogen sulfide, which has a therapeutic effect on a variety of chronic diseases. The bathing site is an open-air swimming pool. Because the water temperature is too high, it needs to be cooled down by two open-air pools first, Xu Le looked at the surrounding snow-capped mountains, felt the snow flying all over the sky, and felt indescribably romantic and comfortable.
Xu Le leaned against the stone wall of the pool, looking at the sky, on both sides were two Jean Xiu, Ah Zhong stood behind and did not go into the water, and Xiaobai was also in the water. Thinking about things along the way, now I know the importance of money, he always felt that money has any meaning, but now he admires Qingning, some things need knowledge, but along the way he found that money is more important, must change here, not only the investment of knowledge, but also the expenditure of money, without financial support can not achieve the popularization and dissemination of knowledge, looking up at the starry sky, he seems to be asleep, without a trace of white clouds, without a trace of dust. It's really one between heaven and man, and it's one. This is a large bath close to the heavenly court, and this holy water from heaven can wash away the dirt of the world and wash away all the troubles of the world. Looking at the sky of the snow-capped mountains, thinking for thousands of years, people feel that they are so close to the sky, and people's hearts are the quietest and clearest at this time. What bath can be better than this heavenly bath, which not only washes people comfortably, but also makes people's hearts get a thorough baptism.
Xu Le feels that life is constantly washing oneself, constantly renewing oneself, and constantly moving forward. On the journey of life, I have walked one journey after another, there is always poetry and distance in my heart, there are always new goals and new journeys waiting, how dare I sleep in the gentle township with a trace of slackness.
Xu Le's mind is more sober, his spirit is more excited, and the motivation to move forward is stronger, he thinks of those ancient ancestors in China, thinks of Dayu, thinks of Yao Shun, thinks of the Yellow Emperor, thinks of Emperor Qingyang, Emperor Changyi, Emperor Xuan, Houji, Boyi, Shang Tang, Pan Geng, Wu Ding, Woman Hao, Yin Xun, thinks of Yongzhou, thinks of the West Sea, thinks of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, thinks of Xihai Lake as if there is something waiting for him, he doesn't know who left it, but he knows that that thing is good for him, but he wanted to leave it to her!
He thought of Ma Julan, and also thought of Sonam and Zaba, as well as the children he saw along the way!
He thought of Mr. Su and Mr. Qi's ardent hopes, he thought of his brothers, thought of his godmother, godfather and his parents, and thought of Qingning and her!
He knows that he has no time to slack off, only to keep looking for it on the road!
Xu Le completed his work in the pool and returned to the guest house, Xu Le turned on the computer and began to write "The Paradox of the Zen Concession System of Yao Shun Killing Kun"!
Dayu's father, Kun, was ordered by Emperor Yao to control the water, the method was improper, and the blocking was a policy, and it was not done in nine years, and he was killed by Yao or Shun ......, but it was just so simple that the water was useless?
Anyone who has been exposed to ancient Chinese myths and legends or studied ancient history knows this person: Kun. It is said that the ancient flood was raging, and the world complained. Tianziyao had to convene a meeting of Siyue officials, and everyone unanimously recommended that Kun go to control the flood. So Yao gave the task of water control to Kun with a try-and-see attitude. Who is Kun? Yu's dad. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Classic of the Sea" says: "The Yellow Emperor gave birth to Luo Ming, Luo Ming gave birth to a white horse, and the white horse is for Kun." "It turned out that Kun was the grandson of the Yellow Emperor. According to Yao, Kun's character is not good, and he is always arbitrary in doing things. In fact, Kun still pays attention to listening to opinions and suggestions. He heard from owls and turtles that there was a treasure in the Yellow Emperor called "Xiyang", which was a kind of soil that could grow at will, like the legendary "cornucopia". As a result, Kun managed to steal the "resting soil" and use it to block the flood ("ε , ι», barrier"). However, nine years have yielded no results. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Classic of the Sea" said: "The Emperor's Breath of Kun is flooded, and he does not wait for the emperor's order, and the emperor orders Zhurong to kill Kun in the suburbs of Yu." β
ι²§, next to the word fish, means a kind of big fish in ancient times! That is to say, Kun is a person who lives near the water, how can such a person not know how to control the water?
Later, there were different theories about who killed Kun: "Zuo Chuan: The Seventh Year of Zhaogong": "Xi Yao died in Yushan", saying that it was Yao who killed Kun; "Chinese Zhou Yuxia": "Shun's punishment is also urgent" said that it was Shun who killed Kun.
Xu Le kept writing, "In the myths and legends of the East and the West, there are contents of ancient human beings encountering great floods. Where did so many floods come from all of a sudden? "Book Da Yu Mo": "Flood water is a good example." "Flooding, flooding. Be an example, and also be a police officer. Heaven and earth let the flood flood in order to punish mankind.
What's wrong with humans? It is probably not very obedient and refuses to obey the will of the Emperor of Heaven. Western legends speak more clearly. The sixth chapter of the Old Testament Book of Genesis says that God saw the great sin of mankind and regretted the creation of mankind on earth. And he let the flood flood go everywhere, wanting to destroy the world.
It turned out that the original intention of the Emperor of Heaven was to use the flood to destroy mankind.
Do Yao and Shun know? Even if they knew, they would never reveal the evil intentions of heaven and earth to the world. Anyway, Kun had to die. Killing Kun consolidated the authority of the Emperor of Heaven and established Yao Shun's own authority. There are three reasons why they can come up with killing Kun: First, they stole the Emperor's rest. Second, the method of using barriers and obstacles to control water without authorization. Thirdly, water control has not been successful. As for bad conduct, that doesn't matter, so the record is vague. Since the "Resting Soil" can prevent floods, why didn't the Emperor of Heaven take it out earlier to save mankind? If Kun succeeds, people will definitely hold the Emperor accountable for his evil attempt to exterminate humanity. Thankfully, it didn't work out. If Kun does not die, if he adopts a combination of obstacles and channeling, he will succeed. Of course, even if Kun succeeded, it would be against the original intention of the Emperor of Heaven. Therefore, he had to die.
Some people say: No. Kun's son Yu later succeeded in controlling the water, why didn't Yao Shun kill Yu, and Shun also gave up the throne to Yu, making him the first person to create a new era of mankind? This has nothing to do with the Emperor of Heaven, but it has a lot to do with Yao and Shun. They will not allow the Emperor of Heaven to destroy humanity. If there are no human beings, won't their "throne" have no foundation? They are the transitional link between myth and history, the intermediate level between heaven and earth. Before them, man was like an ant, completely under the control of nature; After them, the Emperor of Heaven retired, Yao Shun replaced the Emperor of Heaven, and fought against the heavens with people, and mankind began its own new journey. Where is Yao Shun going to lead humanity? Do they know it themselves?
There is also a theory that it is the result of the conflict of interests between the pros and cons of the three Taiwans.
In ancient Chinese mythology, Dayu's father was killed because of improper water control methods, and he did not cure the flood for nine years, and became a bear after his death. Dayu's son inherited his father's will and used the method of "sparse" to finally subdue the flood. In the end, Shun gave up the imperial throne to Yu.
This is the version of the myth that is generally accepted by the general public, and it is also equivalent to the official version. But history is already foggy, not to mention ancient myths that have no written records! If you take a closer look, you can find that there are actually a lot of doubts in this version.
Who killed Kun? There are different theories in the history books on this issue. For example, "Zuo Chuan: The Seventh Year of Zhao Gong": "Xi Yao died in Yushan. "It was Yao who said that he killed Kun. In the same book, "The Thirty-third Year of the Emperor", it contains: "Shun's sin is also ruined." "There are two versions of the same book.
Most history books say that it was Shun who killed Kun. "Chinese Jin Yu V": "Shun's punishment is also urgent." βγ The books "Shangshu" and "Historical Records" also basically identified the presiding judge of this case as Shun. It should not be a problem for Kun to be exiled and killed by Shun after being convicted.
However, on this issue, it doesn't really matter who killed the cang. The important thing is that he was killed by the ruling group.
Then the question arises again, was Kun really killed because of the failure to control the water?
Many history books generally say that Kun was convicted for failing to control the water. For example, "Chinese Lu Yu" says: "The obstacle flooded and died." "Historical Records: Five Emperors Benji" said that for nine years, "the function is not effective, and the water disasters are endless." It is believed that the use of "barriers" and "blockages" (i.e., blocking and blocking) instead of channeling methods to control water leads to failure.
There are several problems with this statement:
First, in the era of water control, wood and stone were the main production tools. It would have been very difficult to use these things to control the flood. Kun has worked hard for nine years with these primitive tools, as the saying goes, there is no merit and hard work. Even if the water control has not been successful, at most he will be sentenced to a crime of dereliction of duty, and he will be blamed for his duties, and he will definitely not be guilty of death.
Second, Kun's son Yu changed to the method of "sparse" to control the water, but it took thirteen years, and it took more than nine years to succeed, why didn't Shun ask Yu about his sin in the ninth year? This also shows that Kun's death was not due to poor water control.
When Xu Le wrote this, he wrote a special sentence, "Is it because he carried out the grooming to the current location, which is deserted, so the damage caused is relatively small"?
Third, there is actually hope for success in controlling the water. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Classic of the Sea" says: "The flood is monstrous, and the emperor's breath is flooded with a flood (yΔ«n), and he does not wait for the emperor's life." The emperor ordered Zhu Rong to kill Kun in the suburbs of Yu. Kun resurrected Yu, and the emperor ordered Yu to lay soil to determine Kyushu. The message here is that Kun not only worked hard to control the water, but also had the devotion of Prometheus in Greek mythology, risking his life to steal the emperor's sacred land to control the water, and was killed for offending the emperor's authority. This is not to say that his treatment of the water is ineffective. Even Qu Yuan was upset for Kun in "Tianwen": "If you want to succeed, what punishment will the emperor have?" Seeing that he was about to succeed, why did the emperor kill him?
It can be seen that the cangs were not killed at all because they could not cure the water. There should be another reason for his death.
So what is the real cause of death of Kun?
The first reason is that Kun once opposed Shun succeeding to the position of the Son of Heaven. "Chinese Jin Yu VIII" said: "The former Kun disobeyed the emperor's order and died in the Feather Mountain." "It means that Kun disobeyed the emperor's orders, so he was killed in Hayama. So how did Kun disobey the emperor's orders? "Han Feizi Waichu Says Upper Right" contains: "Yao wants to spread the world to Shun, and Kun admonishes: 'Ominous! Who will pass it on to the world?' Yao didn't listen, raised troops and killed Kun on the outskirts of Yushan. "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Period: The Theory of Conduct" says: "Yao let Shun and Kun be the princes in the world, and he was angry with Yao and said: 'Those who win the way of heaven are emperors, and those who gain the way of the earth are the three princes.'" Now I have the way to get the land, and I am not regarded as the third prince. 'Take Yao as a loser...... So he died in Hayama. β
None of these historical books say that Kun was convicted for poor water control, but because he was dissatisfied with Yao for passing the throne to Shun and offended Yao, so he was killed. In addition, judging from the statement that he "won the land", he is a construction engineering expert. Perhaps he had succeeded in controlling the water by then, but after he was killed, the ruling group revised history in order to conceal its true purpose.
The second reason is that Kun is a competitor of Shun. In addition to being an expert in water control, Kun actually has a position within the ruling group that cannot be underestimated, and is likely to be one of the candidates for the throne. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Classic of the Sea" says: "The Yellow Emperor gave birth to Luo Ming, Luo Ming gave birth to a white horse, and the white horse is for Kun." It turned out that Kun was the grandson of the Yellow Emperor, born in a wealthy family, and was a proper "third generation of emperors". No wonder he dared to scold Shun for being a "horseman".
The red seedlings are positive, capable, and not convinced. Will Shun allow him to live? Therefore, it is certain that Kun will die, regardless of whether he succeeds in controlling the water or not. What's more, Shun won't give him a chance to succeed at all. As the saying goes, "If you want to add sin, why should you do it?" What's more, there is also a ready-made crime of ineffective water control.
In addition to solving the problem, Yao Shun also solved his sworn friends Gonggong, Ludou, and Sanmiao together, and designated several of them as the "four murderers", and they were nailed to the pillar of shame in history forever, which can be described as once and for all. "Historical Records: Five Emperors" contains: "So Shun returned to the emperor, and asked the flow to work together in Youling to change Beidi; Put the donkey in the lofty mountains to become the southern barbarians; Move the three seedlings to the three dangers to change Xirong; Died in Yushan, in order to change Dongyi: four sins and the world is salty. β
It can be seen from this that the killing of Kun was actually a positive and negative unjust case created by the ruling clique in order to compete for power and profit or punish dissidents. It can be said that it is the first "wronged head" recorded in history.
After Xu Le finished writing the above content, he thought about it and continued to write, so as to completely uncover the bloody Zen concession.
At that time, the son inherited the father's business, and the father would pass on his ability to make a living to his son, so Yu would control the water, which must have been taught by Kun.
Xu Le thought of a key question, that is, what did their respective genealogies represent, and he thought of Zhuan Xuan and Changyi! Emperor Gaoyang had two children, Kun and Poor Cicada. Kun is Dayu's father, and he is the son of Emperor Gaoyang! After Emperor Gaoyang, it should be Kun or Poor Cicada who ascended the throne, but it was Gao Xin (Emperor Yu) who actually ascended the throne, and Emperor Yao after Gao Xin!
Why didn't the cangs or the poor cicadas inherit the throne? It is not said in the "Historical Records", but it is certain that it is definitely not Zen!
If it is Zen, the history books will definitely capitalize and close-up, but there is not even a record of this matter, then the reason can only be the struggle between the pros and cons of the three Taiwans, or the bloody seizure of power.
After Di Yao ascended the throne, the most unconvinced person in his heart was probably Kun, and the biggest threat to Di Yao was also Kun. This is the reason why Kun is disobedient: Kun is the rightful heir to the throne. Of course, Kun is also known as a virtuous person, "waiting for those who are not virtuous to Kun".
Therefore, Yao didn't want to use Kun to control the water, firstly, because Kun was disobedient, and secondly, he didn't want Kun to gather his own strength because of it, after all, water control needs to mobilize the power of all the people, and it is definitely not possible not to give power.
Shun killed Kun, it must have been instructed by Yao, otherwise Shun could kill people casually?
I don't want to use Kun, because Kun is destined to destroy the country, not that I can't control the water; Then, the reason for killing the cangs should never be the failure of water control, but the question of destroying the country with their lives.
Emperor Shun is also a branch of Emperor Gaoyang, he killed Kun and used Yu, I wonder if they used bitter meat tricks?
In short, Yao "Zen let" to Shun, but Shun's own children or descendants are too angry, especially Dayu's credit is too great, in the process of water control gathered a group of powerful assistants, so in the end Shun had to "Zen let" to Yu.
History has always been cruel. β
When Xu Le finished writing the last sentence, he suddenly rang, how could he have forgotten this thing all along, what the hell is going on, he should sort out the entire pedigree, whether it is true or false, there are some secrets hidden in this pedigree, suddenly his head began to hurt again, Xiaobai arched him to be a little better, but he forgot what he remembered just now!
He read the article, and he still wondered, how could he bring Emperor Gao Yang and Emperor Gao Xin in?
