Chapter 644: Xia Decline and Prosperity
There is no eternal dynasty in the world, after all, every generation of monarchs may not be as virtuous as the founding emperor of Gaozu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf there is an eternal and immortal emperor who dominates the world, the dynasty may continue forever, but unfortunately there is no Great Xia.
Although the two ancestors of Dayu and Xia Qi are still alive, some of the emperors who succeeded are mostly promising kings, and there are also a few who have cultivated into immortals, and those who died in office have also been transformed into ancestral spirits who protect the rivers and mountains of Daxia, but the rise and fall of human dynasties is sometimes not a matter of personal will.
Xia Yu understood this, and Xia Qi also understood, so after Xiaoyaozi mentioned this to Xia Yu, the Xia Hou clan began to find a way out with the help of Nuwa and relocate the core forces of the royal family.
He is the last emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, and his ability may not be as good as Dayu and Xia Qi, but it can also be said to be both civil and military, and his political wisdom is not bad at all, but his temperament is tyrannical.
Whether a dynastic state can last depends on the class composition of the country, whether it is immortals or mortals, as long as the society is formed, it will be divided into classes. As long as there is selfishness, class can never be eliminated.
Therefore, it is not terrible to have a class, but what is terrible is the solidification of the class, the degeneration of the upper echelons and the loss of enterprising spirit, and the loss of hope for the people at the bottom to rise.
At this time, Great Xia had already existed in Kyushu for a long time, and for more than 100,000 years, the human race had developed rapidly, the population had skyrocketed, and the strength of the local cultivation families had expanded, and the control of the Great Xia royal family over the place had been greatly weakened.
The population of Great Xia has exceeded the limit of the territory of Great Xia, and the oppression of the lower class people by many local princes and nobles has also accelerated the contradictions between the two parties, and the whole situation has reached a situation where the volcano can erupt at any time.
If only mortal means were used, Great Xia would have long known how many times it would be exterminated, but after all, the flood was a world of immortals, and it was suppressed by monks, and the people who did not cultivate witches and immortals would be useless even if they resisted.
He was originally a successful monarch, and after succeeding to the throne, he was bent on changing the bloated and stagnant state of Great Xia. Therefore, he wanted to make drastic reforms and take over the power of the localities in order to prolong the life of the dynasty.
However, some of the methods used by the Emperor were too radical and too brutal, and when he crusaded against some vassal states, he exterminated those princes of the Nine Clans, and even the army of the face princes was mostly killed.
Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and any change must not be made without caution. At this time, Great Xia had already entered the terminal stage, and without the strong suppression of noble monks and others, even if Great Xia did not die, it could only retain the territory near the national capital.
Therefore, if you want to cure the patient of Da Xia, you must first use tonic medicine to slowly repair it, and wait until the national strength is raised to a certain level, and you are making drastic changes. Instead of using the most drastic changes at the beginning, the whole country will become more shocked.
Now, such brutal methods not only disappointed the people at the bottom, but also turned the high-ranking nobles and the people from morality. After conquering several powerful vassal states, the central part of Great Xia seemed to have greatly increased its strength, and the prestige of the Xia king had also spread, but the form of the Great Xia Empire had become more crisis.
King Xia is brutal, and he is guarded by the Ancestral Spirit Immortal Ancestor, and he can't win if he wants to deal with it. Moreover, even if Great Xia declined, the royal family was strong, and any prince who wanted to openly rebel was to drive the king and make a wedding dress for others.
The hard one can't work, but it can come to the soft one, the prestige of the Xia King is powerful and powerful, waving the army to attack the Shi clan, and the Shi army is defeated and suing for peace, offering their cattle and sheep, horses, and beauties, including Yuxi.
There is Shi Yuxi, and her eyebrows are clear.
Makeup and colorful clothes, and Na Feixi.
Crystal rain and dew, people's pity.
The conquest has Shi's, the beauty is happy, and the performance is full of ambition, thinking that the world is peaceful. At the same time, under the special guidance of Yuxi, he began to gradually enjoy himself and began to be extravagant.
The speed of corruption and degeneration is jaw-dropping, and no one would have thought that the king, who was quite promising two years ago, would not even pay attention to government affairs and accompany Yuxi all day long. Even in order to establish Yuxi as the queen, Lu Hui also carried out a major purge of the internal forces of the Xia Dynasty and deposed the original queen.
Great Xia's originally somewhat upward momentum also came to an abrupt end, and even fell rapidly.
Some of the royal families and old ministers of Great Xia did not think about reversing their temperament, but none of these persuaded courtiers could shake their will.
King Xia has become so depraved, it's not that there are no old people of the royal family who invited the first king and ancestors to come out to teach King Xia a lesson, but I don't know what these old people talked to the ancestors secretly, and after they came out, they were silent one by one, turning a blind eye to the depravity of the ancestors.
It was at this time that a vassal state of a famous merchant began to rise in the East.
The monarch of the Shang State was the son of the Emperor, and after succeeding to the throne, it became renamed Tang, so it was also called Shang Tang.
After Shang Tang became the king, he began to strengthen his own country, and with the assistance of Yi Yin, Zhong Yu and others, he successively destroyed the neighboring vassal states of Ge Guowei, Gu Guo, Kunwu and other vassal states to strengthen himself.
The strength is strong, and when the time is ripe, Shang Tang will begin to raise the banner to crusade against Great Xia!
No matter how brutal the king of Great Xia was, the national strength of the Great Xia Kingdom was undoubted, not only with a large number of soldiers, but also with a large number of monks. Trying to shake the rule of Great Xia with the little strength of the Shang State is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
When the powerful army of sorcerers crusaded against the Shang people, it was discovered that the powerful Xia army was actually defeated by the Shang state. And those who supported the Shang State against Great Xia were the Xuanmen Sect!
There are more than 10,000 disciples of the sect, most of whom are immortals and gods, and the prince of the Shang Kingdom is also a disciple of the master of the Tongtian Sect. When there was an accident in the same door, Zifu naturally called friends, and many sectarian immortals went out to help.
Fire, plague, pox, floods. For the first time, the Daoist Sect Interception Technique appeared on a large scale in front of everyone, and the armies of the Great Xia Expedition were defeated again and again, and the wizards of the Wumen Sect could not resist the Xuanmen Immortal Technique at all.
Great Xia can be defeated, but the witch gate cannot be defeated, since the wizard who has not become a god is not the opponent of the sect, then what about the witch god of the witch gate?
There are many disciples of the sect, and there are also many witches and gods of the Wumen, and the two sides have fought several major wars in the Great Shang Kingdom, all of which have won and lost, and the situation has been stalemate for a while.
However, the Xuanmen disciples are in difficulty, and the disciples of the Xuanmen cannot sit idly by, although the change of the human dynasty this time is the interception of the sect, but it is related to the dispute between Wu and Xuan, and they must also go down the mountain to help.
The strength of the Xuanmen disciples is not bad, and the elite disciples all have supreme treasure protections, if the Wumen does not send the Daluo-level Wuzun, then the Great Xia side will not be the opponent of the Xuanmen.
The Wumen is unwilling to fail, and the god master of the Da Luo level will naturally be dispatched, and the Tongtian sect master of the sect will not sit idly by. The five god masters of Wumen made an appointment to fight the Tongtian Sect Master, and the loser withdrew.
And in this Xuanwu war, the final winner was the Tongtian Sect Master, and the Wumen withdrew from the Xia Shang dispute according to the oath, although the Great Xia without the support of the Wumen is still there, it is no longer the opponent of the Shang State!
