At this time, Di Yao was getting old, so he discussed with his courtiers the choice of successor, and someone stepped forward to recommend Yu Shun. Shun's family background is very poor, since childhood worship the Turtle Spirit Mother as a teacher, although it is a descendant of the emperor Xiang, but the fifth generation is a concubine, in the lower strata of society. Shun's experience was even more unfortunate, his father was blind, and his mother died very early.

He remarried, and his stepmother's biological brother was named Xiang. Shun lives in a family environment of "stubborn father, arrogant mother, and arrogant", his father is not right, his stepmother is two-faced, his younger brother is unruly, and several people collude to be angry, and they will want to put Shun to death and then be happy;

When Shun's family wants to harm him, he escapes in time; when he gets better, he immediately returns to them and helps them as much as possible, so he is "want to kill, but he can't get it; he asks for it, and tastes it on the side" His life experience is so unfortunate and the environment is so bad, but Shun can show extraordinary character and handle family relations well.

Shun's family was poor, so he engaged in various manual labor and experienced ups and downs. At the age of twenty, he became famous, and he was known for his filial piety. Because he can adhere to filial piety to his parents who abused and persecuted him, he is praised among the human race.

So Di Yao asked Yu Shun to be found, and let Shun participate in political affairs, manage hundreds of officials, receive guests, and undergo various trials. He married his two daughters, Empress E and Nuying, to Shun, and knocked on the side from her daughter to inspect Shun's surname.

Shun not only handled political affairs in an orderly manner, but also made some improvements in employing people. After many tests, Shun was finally recognized by Yao. Choosing Ji Yue and holding a ceremony, Yao Chan was located in Shun, but Shun felt that his prestige was not enough, his virtue was insufficient, and he was unwilling to accept it, so Yao had to let him temporarily take over the duties of the master.

Shun re-revised the calendar after the duties of the principal, and held a ceremony to worship God, the four seasons of heaven and earth, and the gods of mountains and rivers; he also collected the letters of the princes, and then selected auspicious words, summoned the princes and rulers of various places, held a solemn ceremony, and reissued the letters.

In the year of his accession to the throne, he went to various places to patrol and worship famous mountains, summoned princes, and inspected the people's conditions; he also stipulated that he would patrol once every five years to inspect the achievements of the princes and clearly stipulate rewards and punishments.

The members of the Shunjianyao Council include Kun, Gaotao, Qi, Houji, Boyi, Kui, Long, Qi, Yi, Pengzu, etc., and there is no specific division of labor among them.

According to each person's strengths, Shun was appointed with different positions: Kun was the Sikong, the main level of water and soil, Houji was in charge of agriculture and sowed a hundred grains, Qi was the secretary of migration, in charge of education, Gao Tao was the magistrate and was in charge of punishment, Qi was a co-worker, in charge of handicrafts, Yi was an official of Yu, in charge of the grass, trees, birds and beasts of the mountains, forests, and plains, Boyi was the rank of the sect, in charge of the sacrificial ceremony, Kui was the music of the nobles, and was responsible for educating the children of the nobles, and Long was the Nayan, who specially conveyed Shun's orders and conveyed the situation.

Shun also stipulated that the performance of officials should be evaluated every three years, and those who had achieved good results should be promoted, and those who were incompetent should be dismissed. Shun set up officials to divide duties, so that the duties of officials are clear, the efficiency of work is improved, and all industries are prosperous.

Shun personally went to the place where the water was controlled. He found that the cause of the flood was the rebellion of the water monsters, and even he knew that in order to completely eradicate the floods, he must first calm the water monsters. But Kun only knew how to block, and didn't know anything else, so he thought that Kun was ineffective, so he exiled Kun to Yushan.

On the one hand, Shun sent people from all over the world to inquire about the talents who could control the water, and on the other hand, he sent people from all over the world to ask the monks and masters to quell the rebellion of the water monsters. Later, he heard that Kun's son Yu had a lot of experience in water control, so he ordered Yu to succeed him in water control.

Yu is the son of Kun, surnamed Ji, also known as Wenming, and the word is high. Born in Xiqiang, he migrated to Chong with his father, and was named Xia Bo when he was named Xia Bo, so he was also called Xia Yu or Bo. Since childhood, he has worshiped under the sect of Duobao Taoist and learned the way of water control.

When Yu received the appointment, he was newly married for only four days, and he didn't have time to take care of his wife, so he ran around in order to control the water, and passed by his house three times, but he didn't go in.

The first time, my wife was sick and did not come into the house to visit. The second time, my wife was pregnant and did not go into the house to visit. The third time, his wife Tu Shan gave birth to a son Qi, the baby was crying, Yu passed by the door, heard the cry, and endured not to go in to visit.

Yu changed his father's approach by leading the masses to dig through nine rivers and divert the flood water into the sea. He worked with the people, wearing a hat and a shovel, taking the lead in digging and picking up soil. But because of the limited manpower, the effect is not very good, and Yu is very troubled.

Moreover, the surrounding mountains and dams were mostly melted by the soil when my father was controlling the water, and it was extremely hard, so although after many years of treatment, the effect was still not good. Shun saw that his method of water control was reasonable, but it was limited to the constraints of the conditions, so he did not blame it, but stepped up to recruit capable people from all walks of life, so that the flood level could be fixed as soon as possible.

At this moment, Ling Xiao, who had been retreating and refining treasures, opened his eyes in Tianxiao Palace, got up and came towards the flood wilderness.

When the flood came, a huge wave hit the Duobao Dao and Dayu on the shore.

Duobao Dao people have a multi-treasure golden pagoda on their heads, emitting dazzling golden light, protecting the entire embankment, and the waves hit the golden light one by one, and the golden light shook for a while.

Ling Xiao's eyes looked down with a cold eye, he took out the Qiankun pot, stretched out his hand, and all the floods were put into the pot.

It wasn't until there was no more flood that the Qiankun pot was put away, and a water unicorn fell to the shore.

When he arrived on the shore, Duobao led Dayu to salute for a while, and after the salute, Duobao Taoist asked, "I don't know why the senior brother came here?"

Ling Xiao said with a smile: "Poor Dao came here for two things, one of which is to refine two treasures to help Dayu control the water." ”

As he spoke, he took out two things from his sleeve, a blackboard axe and a small gold needle.

Dayu looked at the things that Ling Xiao took out, and thought disdainfully: That axe looks a little useful, what is that little needle for, isn't it for me to embroider?

When he looked up, he saw Ling Xiao looking at him, and he was shocked, his eyes like a deep pool seemed to be able to understand the world.

Ling Xiao said with a smile: "This axe is called the mountain axe, which can help Dayu split the soil, and the small needle is called the Poseidon needle, which can be big or small, and can help Dayu measure the water level." ”

Saying that, handing over the two treasures to Dayu, Dayu was shocked when he heard it, how strong the Nine Heavens Rest Soil was, and the magic axe refined by many people was cut on it, leaving a front pit at most, and the black broken axe in front of him could split the Nine Heavens Rest Soil? I was stunned for a while. I don't pick it up either.
