Why did Bo Yu go up to Shenmin Hill to meet Yaoji and ask for Emperor Yan's order? This is related to the situation in the middle and lower reaches of the great river in southern China. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In the Puhan court, many people raised objections to Boyu's strategy of splitting the Wuyun Mountains to control the water, and even Lord Xiaoyang, who represented the Three Kingdoms of Bayuan, was full of doubts about this.

The Son of Heaven Chonghua eventually appointed Bo Yu as the minister of water control, but the precondition was that the matter was successfully completed. It cannot be said that Chonghua deliberately made things difficult for Boyu, although many ministers suggested that the floods in the large river basin should be dealt with first, and the affairs of the large river basin should be put aside for the time being.

However, as the Son of Heaven, Chonghua knew very well that if he wanted to gather the strength of all the ministries in the world to control the water, he had to solve the problems of the tribes in the southern river basin first. Otherwise, the world is in danger, and he, the son of heaven, will never sit still, and he must act as a precautionary measure.

wanted to return to the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan when the last Yan Emperor Yu surrendered, and Xuanyuan defeated the rebellious and self-reliant Chiyou and became the co-leader of all the ministries in the world. Most of the methods adopted by the Yellow Emperors in the past dynasties against the old forces of the Yan Emperor were to mix mud and sand, that is, to appease, divide and integrate as much as possible, and to move some troublesome tribes to remote areas.

When Emperor Zhuan was the Son of Heaven, he inspected the world and married women from various tribes, and promoted the integration of tribes by means of intermarriage and relocation, and the situation of various tribes in China has always been stable. However, in the last years of Emperor Yao, with the expansion of the Chinese Empire, the population and territory under its jurisdiction far exceeded the beginning, and the situation changed greatly, and various hidden dangers gradually appeared.

Historically, the conflicts between the Yan and Huang tribes have generally been on the wane, and some tribes have been fully integrated into the Chinese Alliance, such as the Siyue Tribe. However, in some areas, many conflicts have reappeared or even intensified, such as the hidden dangers in the old Jiuli region in the south. The incompatibility between the Chongchen Ministry and the Gonggong Ministry for generations can also be seen as a continuation of this conflict.

Chonghua is a problem-solver, and he has been shaded by Boyi. After a big battle between the Chongchen Department and Jiuli, Chonghua took the opportunity to appease the old part of Jiuli into five major departments, and disintegrated the Gonggong Department and re-canonized the three Bojun.

However, this sudden flood not only changed the topography and landform, but also changed the situation of all parts of the world. If it weren't for this great flood, Chonghua's statecraft might have been able to complete the transition smoothly, but then again, without this great flood, it would have been difficult for him to replace Chong Bo Kun as the Son of Heaven.

After more than a decade of disaster, the overall national strength of the Chinese Alliance has inevitably declined, which cannot be reversed by anyone's will. In the process of recession, many problems and conflicts will be exposed that would not otherwise arise. Di Yao's powerlessness in the last years of his reign was also due to bad luck, which was also the same situation in the early days of Chonghua's reign.

The Flood created a complicated situation. The integration and inter-regional tribal integration and interconnectedness have become stronger, as people have to work together to fight natural disasters. However, from the perspective of the entire Chinese territory, the connection and exchange between tribes in different regions have been greatly weakened. Because it is separated by a large amount of water, it is extremely inconvenient to get around.

Many tribes suffered heavy losses, and due to population migration and local coordination, there were several tribes that rapidly expanded their power. For example, the original Gonggong Department was divided into three, but due to the impact of the Great Flood, two of the clans moved to the territory of the other clan, and finally this growing tribe was the Xiangliu Tribe, which was originally a minister of the Gonggong.

To the south of the river, there are not only five major parts of Jiuli. Jiuli originally had nine major tribes, except for the Benli tribe that merged into the Chongchen department, Wu Li, Shui Li, and Hua Li are now nameless, and they gradually disappeared in the process of migration, and the remnants of the tribe migrated to the land of Baiyue.

The land of Baiyue is a vast wilderness south of the estuary of the Great River, and the location is very remote, and the area where they originally lived was full of wild people. After this group of remnants of the Li people arrived in Baiyue, they intermarried with the Baiyue clan and merged with the local tribes to reproduce to this day, the most important of which is the Fengfeng clan.

Many tribes were affected by this great flood, and the people of Baiyue cooperated to control the water, and the Fengfeng clan took advantage of the situation to rise and became the leaders of the local tribal alliance.

Di Yao had planned to canonize the head of the Fangfeng clan as the Chinese monarch, but the head of the Fangfeng clan refused, because there was no need for that. Di Yao didn't pursue it, it was also unnecessary. The land of Baiyue was too remote at that time, far away in the southeast area across the river from the Ministry of Communism, not only the climate is humid and hot, but also the big river is the moat, and it is difficult to have any relationship with the Central Plains.

When he returned to the Son of Heaven, he sent an envoy to canonize the head of the Fangfeng clan as the Chinese Bojun, but the Fangfeng clan accepted the canonization this time because the situation had changed. With the help of Chongbo's form and god clone, the Fangfeng clan united with the various tribes of Baiyue to control the water, and took advantage of the situation to rise to become the leader of the tribal alliance in this region.

In this case, the Fangfeng clan also needs to accept the canonization of the Son of Heaven, and the various ministries under heaven will confirm the status and sphere of influence they have achieved. However, this canonization was only nominal, and due to the barrier of the flood, it was impossible for the Fangfeng clan to mobilize manpower and material resources to cross the river and contact other places, but only to develop and grow in the land of Baiyue.

The situation in the middle and lower reaches of the river is very special, and the important tribes such as Guli, Feili, Muli, Qili, Shanli, Xiangliu, and Fangfeng are all the old forces of Emperor Yan. Although the head of the Chongchen Department is a descendant of Zhuan, he also inherited the honorific title of Zhu Rong in the era of Emperor Yan, and more subtlely, everyone in the world knows that Lu has finally practiced Chiyou Shengong.

The center of the Son of Heaven's rule was in the Central Plains, and due to the separation of the great floods, his control over the southern river basin was getting weaker and weaker. After many years of disasters, of course, the resentment in the hearts of the people is also accumulating, many people do not accept the rule of the Son of Heaven, and even think that the great flood is caused by the immorality of the Son of Heaven, this situation is the most serious in the old department of the Yan Emperor in the south.

Before and after Chonghua came to power, he simply and neatly smashed Huandou and Sanmiao, two forces that had a great influence on the government, and consolidated his rule in the Central Plains, but he also felt powerless to control the situation in the southern provinces. It is not that Chonghua is incompetent, but that the decline of national strength has given rise to and exposed many other problems, and as long as the flood does not go away for a day, it will be difficult to solve them fundamentally, and it will even intensify day by day.

And what Chonghua wants to do is to turn the tide. After he became the Son of Heaven, he tried his best to preserve Di Yao's reputation as a virtuous person, and he also showed his inner pursuit, and he wanted to achieve a virtuous career beyond Di Yao.

Therefore, he appointed Bo Yu as the minister of water control, and first of all, he had to solve the problem of the southern river basin. Otherwise, if you first govern the Great River Basin, but let the situation in the Great River Basin erode, it will give rise to more dissatisfaction among Emperor Yan's old department, and even lead to the division of China. If that is the case, Chonghua will not only not be able to leave a name for all generations, but it will also be contrary to his desire in this life.

The problems of the various tribes in China are not only the recurrence of the general trend of the integration of the Yan and the Yellow and the danger of the alliance being torn apart by the flood, but also the increasingly acute conflicts between the upper nobility and the lower people within the various tribes. If the heads of the ministries are not supported by their subordinates, it is also a very dangerous trend for the Son of Heaven.

The vast majority of those who suffered were people at the bottom of the tribes, and they directed their grievances at the top of the tribes. The high-level ministries represented by the monarch may indeed not be good enough, but in today's situation, many things are indeed helpless. Bo Yi's assassination on the Longxi Plain reflects both of these conflicts.

More than 30 tribes, large and small, were involved in the assassination of Boyi, which was an attempt to sabotage Di Yao's efforts to save the situation and further expand the divisive trend among the various tribes in China.

In the eyes of the heads of the ministries, Bo Yi is a sharp blade hanging over his head, but in the eyes of the ordinary people of the various ministries, Bo Yi is a hero who stands up to the sky and the earth, and even a benefactor who saves them.

Take the five major ministries of the original Jiuli as an example, the capitals of the various ministries are a little afraid of Boyi, but most of their subordinates respect Boyi. Even if the monarch participated in the assassination of Boyi, I am afraid that he would not dare to let his subordinates know. On the other hand, the capital of the five monarchs reveres the Son of Heaven and Chonghua, but the thoughts of the people may not be.

If Chonghua wants to achieve the virtuous and meritorious deeds of the first generation, it must resolve this crisis, subdue the hearts of the people of all departments, and complete the complete integration of the old departments of Yan and Huang. Yu Li's efforts to turn the tide must be a person who has the power to turn the tide, and now the most suitable person is only Bo Yu. And Bo Yu is not clear about the situation, if he wants to control the floods in the river basin, he must get the unanimous cooperation of the old department of Emperor Yan.

The first thing Bo Yu has to do now is to persuade the old departments of Emperor Yan in the lower reaches of the river to let them move again. However, there is already a voice among the people in various ministries that the Son of Heaven appointed Boyu as the minister of water control, and Boyu proposed such a policy of water control, which was to be detrimental to the old ministry of the original Yan Emperor, and they were unwilling to take the initiative to cooperate with the order of the Son of Heaven.

The leaders of the various ministries ostensibly received orders, and the people of the tribes were really willing to obey their orders, but the actual effect of implementation was very different. What Boyu will bring to the lower reaches of the river is an even bigger flood.

The relocation is the people's own business, if after the order of the king's leader, many of the troops did not withdraw from the danger zone, once heavy casualties were caused, it was not only Bo Yu who was responsible, but the old departments of the Yan Emperor might even unite to rebel. In today's situation, Bo Yu may be able to order the heads of all ministries only by virtue of his identity as the minister of China's water control, but he cannot really call on all the ministries and the people.

When he was helpless, Bo Yu remembered something. Lord Lu Zhang once saw Yao Ji in the court of Baguo and showed a thing, which was the token of Emperor Yan's orders to all departments. Under the guidance of Huwa, Bo Yu came to the Yan Emperor Immortal Palace to ask for the Yan Emperor's order, while Yao Ji let him climb the Shenmin Hill by himself.

After Bo Yu explained his intentions, Yao Ji frowned slightly and said: "Now it is no longer Emperor Yan's dynasty, you are holding Emperor Yan's order and trying to order Emperor Yan's old department, what is the difference between what you did and Jiang You back then?"

Jiang You is Chiyou, Chiyou did not get the order of Emperor Yan back then, but he led his tribe to rebel against Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, and once established himself as Emperor Yan. Now Bo Yu, as a minister of the Yellow Emperor, took the token of Emperor Yan to order the old department of Emperor Yan, this is not a joke, it is clearly suspected of rebellion!

Bo Yu explained: "It's not an order, it's a soothing. Now there are rumors on both sides of the river, saying that the Chinese Son of Heaven ordered Yu to control the water, which will be unfavorable to the old department of Emperor Yan, and some people even use the name of the old department of Emperor Yan to try to encourage the people to disobey. I hold this order in hand, not to order the heads of the ministries, but to appease the people everywhere and be willing to listen to my explanation of the measures to control the water, so that the rumors will be self-defeating. ”

Yao Ji looked at him and said meaningfully: "Lord Boyu is really bold. ”

Bo Yu replied calmly: "Yan and Huang are both sons of Shaodian, and they should help each other and treat each other without distinguishing each other, the ministers of the Yellow Emperor hold the Yan Emperor's order to appease the hearts of the people, and discuss the policy of water control with the ministries, why not?"

Yao Ji nodded with a complicated expression and said, "If Lord Boyu can succeed, this order is useless, and there is no need to return it to me." ”

What does this mean? Bo Yu has just revealed his ambition to complete the complete integration of the Yan Emperor's tribes by controlling the water. If he could really succeed, then this Yandi token would be of little practical use. This is something that may provoke a rift conflict between various parts of China under special circumstances, but it can also play a role in bridging the rift, depending on who uses it for what purpose.

If the rift between the old departments of Yan and Huang is completely smoothed, and they really help each other without distinguishing each other, then Emperor Yan's order is just a historical relic. Listening to Yao Ji's meaning, he didn't just lend Emperor Yan's order to Bo Yu, but gave it to him directly.

Bo Yu bowed down and said: "The descendants of Yan and Huang should all thank Fairy Yaoji." ”

Yao Ji shook her head and said, "The person they should thank is not me, I didn't do anything." If the water can be controlled, the world can also be governed, and the descendants of Yan and Huang should thank you, Lord Boyu!" (To be continued.) )
