Chapter 344: The Xia Dynasty Overturned, and the Xuanniao Descended to Shang
After the peach banquet, the disputes between Heaven, Xuanmen, the West and many forces were put on the surface, and for a while, the situation in the flood became tense.
The situation is tense while the other side is on the other side. The changes within the Kyushu of the human race are really not small, just as there is no forever prosperous dynasty in the world, and there is no turbulent era that cannot be unified.
In the Xia Dynasty of the Terran Kyushu, it has lasted for thousands of years at this time, because every emperor is a mortal, but they also have a method of cultivation, although they cannot live forever, but they can also prolong their lives.
However, passed down from generation to generation, the Xia Dynasty has gone through many generations of monarchs, and it has gradually turned from prosperity to decline, the country is declining day by day, and the princes of all parties have gradually come to congratulate them.
The Xia Dynasty, which lasted for more than 3,000 years, was in decline and the country was in dire straits.
As the king, Xia Wei did not think about reform, and was arrogant and self-consulted every day, building a tilting palace, decorating Yaotai, making a Qiong room, and setting up a jade gate. Ignoring the admonitions of his courtiers, he ordered that meat should be hung on the trees in the courtyard, called a meat grove, and a large pond was dug in the courtyard, which was filled with fine wine, and called a wine pool.
Whenever he and his favorite concubine sister went to the dormitory, he ordered the three thousand palace maids to dance together. When they were tired of dancing, they asked the palace maids to go to the meat forest to pick meat and drink it in the pool.
Xia Wei and his favorite concubine sister are happy to sing and dance day and night. favored the ministers and brutalized the loyal and good, so that the princes used not to come to congratulate, the heavens were angry and the people were resentful, and chaos gradually arose in Kyushu.
In the thirty-seventh year after his accession to the throne, the leader of the Eastern Shang tribe introduced Yi Yin, a virtuous man with both ability and integrity, to Yi Yin, who was the dowry slave of Tang's wife, and Tang sent him to work in the kitchen. Yi Yin is very talented, and in order to make the soup reflect herself, she deliberately makes the dishes sometimes delicious, and sometimes salty or light.
Once, Tang asked him about this matter, and he took the opportunity to talk to Tang about his views on governing the country, Tang was surprised, knowing that he was a virtuous man, he was exempted from his slave status and appointed as the right minister, Yi Yin persuaded Ji with the benevolence of Tang Yao and Yu Shun, hoping that Ji would understand the suffering of the people and govern the world with his heart, but Ji could not listen, and Yi Yin had to leave.
In his later years, he was even more desolate, and he ordered a large pool to be made, called the Night Palace, he took a large group of men and women to be in the pool, and did not go to court for a month.
Xia Wei had a courtier named Guan Longxiao under him, and when he heard the angry voices of the common people, he said to Ji Jin,
"The Son of Heaven is humble and faithful, thrifty and cares for talents, the world can be stable, the dynasty can be stable, and now Your Majesty is extravagant and murderous, so that the people hope that you will perish as soon as possible, Your Majesty has lost the hearts of the people, and only by quickly correcting your mistakes can you win back the hearts of the people. ”
After hearing this, he scolded Guan Longxiao angrily, and finally ordered him to be killed, Xia Wei thought that his rule would never perish, so he swore and said,
"There is a sun in the sky, just as I have a people, will the sun perish? ”
He also convened a meeting of his subordinates to prepare for a war against other tribes.
In this way, he gradually lost the hearts of the people and caused everyone to rebel against their relatives. At this time, the human race had a Shang tribe, and the leader of the Shang tribe was a descendant of the emperor. Swallow the bird's egg and give birth to the deed, and the deed is sealed in the business. Passed the thirteenth to Taiyi, that is, into the soup.
The Shang tribe gradually prospered under the leadership of its Lingtang, and Xia Wei was worried that Shang Tang would endanger him, so he imprisoned him in Xiatai under the pretext of this, and the Ministry of Commerce learned of this, and hurriedly sent someone to send Ji with a large amount of money, and bribed Ji's cronies, so that Tang was released and returned to Shang.
On the night of Chengtang's return, he saw a divine bird flying down in a dream, surrounded by flames, and then the true body of the mysterious bird appeared.
Cheng Tang was shocked and hurriedly bowed down. But he heard the bird speak to the merchants,
"Xia Jian has no way, the summer room will decline;
After saying that, it turned into a little starlight and slowly disappeared.
Cheng Tang woke up in shock, and found that it was almost dawn, so he hurriedly got up and went to ask Prime Minister Yi Yin, Yi Yin was overjoyed after hearing what Cheng Tang said, and said to Cheng Tang,
"The minister heard that the Lord is a descendant of the Xuanniao. When it is auspicious from the sky, my lord should inherit the Xia Dynasty and be the emperor of the people!"
Within a few days, the story of Cheng Tang's dream of seeing a bird began to spread among the tribe, so everyone believed that Cheng Tang was favored by God and became the master, and the form began to be out of control.
In addition, Cheng Tang usually treats his clansmen generously and benevolently, and for a while, the rumor that Cheng Tang is the lord of the house has spread more and more intensely, and many princes have begun to support Tang, and Tang's power has further grown.
At this time, the disciples of the sect had completely given up on the Xia Dynasty, and after seeing Cheng Tang's benevolence, the sage of the Shangqing Dynasty decisively ordered his disciples to go out of the mountain again to assist the Ministry of Commerce, Cheng Tang's reputation rose sharply for a while, and Cheng Tang finally began to crusade against the Xia Dynasty with the support of the sect.
Tang Li counted Xia Wei's tyranny and unreasonableness, and called on Xia's small affiliated states to turn their backs on Ji and return to Shang, and those who did not listen to his advice were successively sent troops to attack and destroy, such as Ge, Wei, Gu and other Xia Dynasty vassal states, in order to cut off Ji's wings, Shang Tang became stronger and stronger the more he fought, and he was invincible in the world for eleven expeditions, and Xia Wei fell into isolation.
Tang also moved the capital to Yuhao, using this as a base for advancement, preparing to finally destroy the Xia Dynasty, Tang also adopted Yi Yin's suggestion to stop paying tribute to the Xia Dynasty to test the strength of Xia Ji, and when Ji saw this situation, he ordered the Jiuyi soldiers to negotiate with him, at this time, Ji was still able to mobilize the strength of the Jiuyi tribe.
Tang and Yi Yin saw that the people of the world were not completely disappointed in Ji, so they immediately asked for guilt and resumed paying tribute to Xia Wei, and Ji actually forgave Shang Tang, a few years later, the Jiuyi people could not bear the brutal rule of Ji, and rebelled one after another, which greatly weakened the power of Ji, Tang and Yi Yin saw that the time was ripe, so Tang gathered his troops and sent troops to attack Xia, Ji got the news and led his troops to Mingtiao.
The two armies fought, the soldiers of the Xia army were unwilling to work for the Ji, and took the opportunity to flee one after another, Xia Wei could not stop it, so he had to flee into the city in a hurry, and the merchant army was in hot pursuit, and the Ji hurriedly took the sister Xi and the treasure, crossed the river and fled to Nanchao, and was then caught up and captured by Cheng Tang, and exiled here.
After the princes' meeting, Tang retreated to the position of the princes, and the princes all pushed Tang as the Son of Heaven, so Tang Shi ascended the throne, all in Bo, called the Shang Dynasty, so far, from Qi to the thirteenth generation of Jifan, sixteen transmissions, the end of the Xia Dynasty of 3,500 years.
