The Spiritual Attainment of Minghe Chapter 64: 5 Emperors Governing the World (Middle)
With the help of so many talents, the human race thrived under Yao’s rule. In the early days of Tang Yao’s reign, the astronomical calendar was still very imperfect. God’s will, according to the appearance of the sun and the moon, and the order of the stars, formulate a calendar, and carefully teach the people how to engage in production.
The Xi and He tribes palm astronomy. The days are estimated based on the movement of the sun, moon and stars and other celestial phenomena and natural phenology. The four seasons are measured. The cycle of the moon is one month, the cycle of the sun is one year, and the year is set as Three hundred and sixty-six days, this is the earliest recorded calendar in our country, laying the foundation of our lunar calendar.
There are three hundred and sixty-six days in a year. The spring, summer, autumn and winter seasons are corrected by the method of setting a leap month.
Di Yao sincerely warned the hundred officials to keep their duties and handle everything properly. Under such administration, the Human Race once again ushered in a wave of prosperity. At this time, Di Yao had been in power for more than 70 years. Over the years, I felt that my merits were fulfilled, so I wanted to find a great sage to take over as the co-lord of the human race.
So, Emperor Yao called a group of ministers and asked them who could take over as the co-master of the human race. After listening to the group, they discussed with each other for a while before repliing: "Dan Zhu, the son of the co-master, can take over. Throne of the emperor."
Di Yao disdainfully said: "Huh! Dan Zhu, he is stubborn and vicious, and it is improper to use it." Everyone listened, and everyone was silent. Dan Zhu is Di Yao's most beloved son. Now Di Yao ruled out Outside, everyone suddenly lost the recommendation object.
After a moment of silence, everyone again began to discuss candidates. In the end, everyone reached a consensus. They all said: "His Majesty Saint Xuanyuan has a grandson named Gun. This person has a wide range of knowledge and skills, and he is worthy of everyone in the world. He is enough to bear this important task. ."
Di Yao listened, lowered his head and thought for a while, just about to agree, his heart suddenly moved, and he saw Di Yao's eyes rolled, then he stroked his beard and said: "This person is indeed good, but you still recommend a few more. Mistakes and omissions."
When everyone heard the truth, they began to discuss again. Suddenly, Minister Si Yue said to Yao: "There is a man named Yu Shun who lives in the folks. He has good morals. I don't know if he can. Be competent as a co-master."
Di Yao said: "Well, I have also heard of this person, but I don't know what is going on, please tell me carefully." Siyue replied; "Shun lives in a family of'father stubborn, mother arrogant, and arrogant.' In the environment, his father, Fengsou, was blind, with an unrighteous mind, his stepmother had three swords, and his younger brother was like an unruly and rebellious brother. Several people colluded and wanted to put Shun to death and hurry up.
However, Shun is very filial to his parents, is very filial to his brother, and is very friendly to his brother. He has been like a day for many years, without any slack. When the family wants to harm him, Shun evades in time, and if he gets better, he will return to them immediately. With such a miserable life and such a harsh environment, Shun was able to live in harmony with his family, do his filial piety, and manage the family well, so that they would not be evil. "
Yao said: "Then I will try him first!" So Emperor Yao married his two daughters, Ehuang and Nuying, to Shun, and observed his virtues from the two daughters to see if he was reasonable. Good housekeeping, Shun asked them to lower their noble hearts and live in their homes by the Gui River, observing the way of being a woman.
The two daughters are very enamoured of Shun, abide by the way of women, and Shun makes pottery, which can lead people around to work hard, strive for perfection, and put an end to the phenomenon of crude and shoddy. People are willing to follow him wherever he goes, so they live together in a year. (Ju is the village), Chengyi in the second year and Chengdu in the third year (the four counties are the capital).
Yao was very happy to learn about this situation. He bestowed Shun Yiyi (Xin Gebuyi) and Qin, gave him cattle and sheep, and built a barn for him. Feng Shu still wanted to kill him, conspired with his family, and murdered Yu Shun many times. , But Shun always survived miraculously as if he were blessed by God. Even so, Shun treated his parents as before, loved his brothers, and was more respectful.
In this way, after testing Shun’s character, Yao began to let Shun go to contact with government affairs. Yao asked Shun to try out the post of Situ, responsible for the promotion of moral education, and Shun taught his subjects to use the "five codes", that is, father and mother. The five virtues of kindness, brother and friend, respectfulness, and filial piety guide their behavior. The subjects are willing to listen to his teachings and generally act in accordance with the "five codes."
Yao also asked Shun to take charge of a hundred officials and handle government affairs. All officials obeyed Shun's command. Pepsi revitalized, and none of them was abandoned, and they appeared to be very orderly and without disorder.
Yao also asked Shun to be in the four gates of Mingtang to receive the princes from all over the world. Shun got along well with the princes and made the princes harmonious and friendly. The princes and guests from afar respected him.
Finally, Yao asked Shun to go alone in the forest at the foot of the mountain to withstand the test of nature. In the thunderstorm, Shun was able to walk without losing his way, showing a strong ability to live. After many tests, Yao saw Shun’s extraordinary talents and noble morals, and Shun was finally recognized by Yao, so Emperor Yao gave his orders. People are ready to pass on the position of co-lord to Shun.
During the reign of Emperor Yao, there was no less promotion of Western religion, but the effect was not very good. As early as before the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the Human Tribe and the Three Religions had begun to teach in the human race, and Western religion was limited to the West, although there were emperors. Yao's propaganda, but Western religion is too remote compared to the human race, but fortunately there are still some people who believe in Western religion, which also makes Western religion flourish in the East.
And Shun’s master is the Golden Spirit Mother of Jiejiao. As for the disciple of Jiejiao, Duobao Taoist, he was placed in the last human emperor’s teacher. After Shun ascended the throne of the co-lord of the human race, the Mother Jinling was naturally It is also accompanied by his side, helping him solve problems and teaching him the practice.
With the support of Jiejiao, Emperor Shun began to let go. First, Emperor Shun observed the Big Dipper to investigate whether the movement of the sun, the moon, and the five stars of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth was abnormal. Then Temporary ceremonies were held to sacrifice to all the saints, sacrifices were put on fire to sacrifice the heavens and the earth, and remote sacrifices were used to sacrifice famous mountains and rivers, and various gods were generally worshipped.
He collected five kinds of jade talisman letters held by the male fifth marquis of Gonghou Bozi, Huangui, Xingui, Gonggui, Gubi, and Pubi. For them, Shun went to patrol the east, and when he arrived at Mount Tai, he sacrificed to Dongyue with a ritual of burning wood, and sacrificed to famous mountains and rivers in various places with a ritual of remote sacrifice.
Next, he summoned the princes in the East to coordinate and correct the four-hour solar terms, the size of the moon, the A and B of the sun, unify the rhythm and the standards of length, capacity, and weight, and repair the five etiquettes of good luck, bad luck, guest, army, and good luck. It was stipulated that the princes should use five kinds of guibi and three kinds of color bars. The doctor used lambs and geese as two kinds of animals, and the scholars used dead pheasants as gifts for the court meeting. The five kinds of guibi were still returned to the princes after the court meeting.
Shun generally stated to the princes the way of governing the country, and conducted clear investigations based on performance. According to the credits given to the carriages and horses, Shun began to divide the world into twelve states, dredging the rivers, and stipulated that the law should be enforced according to normal penalties. In exile, the five penalties of tattooing, cutting the nose, cutting the foot, castration, and decapitation were reduced. The officials used whips to punish the officials, and the school education used the ruler to punish them.
Those who caused negligence due to disasters shall be pardoned; those who are persevering and insist on doing harm shall be punished. At this time, Sanmiao caused many disturbances in the Jiang, Huai Valley and Jingzhou areas. At this time, Shun visited Huan. He was exiled to Chongshan in order to change the customs of Nanban, and Sanmiao was moved to Sanwei Mountain in order to change the customs of Xirong, and what Shun did and served in the world.
However, there were unexpected events in the sky. In the later period of Shun's reign, torrential rains and floods occurred during the floods, and the disasters became more and more serious. This time it is not the dragons who are making waves, but the real natural disasters. Proficient, as a last resort, he handed the heavy responsibility of water control to another great sage of the human race, Gun.
This Gun’s father is Emperor Zhuan Xu~IndoMTL.com~ Zhuan Xu’s father is Chang Yi, and Chang Yi’s father is Huang Emperor. Gun was originally a Manchu clan and was a powerful candidate for the throne of the emperor, but unfortunately they all became ministers to Zhi. As a result, after Emperor Yao became the co-lord of the human clan, he was dismissed.
Gun was taught by the gods when he was young, and he has learned a lot of skills. Since he received the great task of water control, he has worked hard and worked hard. However, even if Gun is strong, how can one person be able to stop this unparalleled flood? Even if the human race gathered together to work together, they could not withstand this terrible natural disaster.
However, Gun is still obliged to do this. After receiving the order of Emperor Shun, Gun packed up his clothes and went to treat the water with everyone. Gun adopted the method of blocking and used Nuwa Empress to create human beings and stay in the human race. The soil, the creation of dams and mountains forced the Yellow River to return to its place, and blocked the river to store water, giving the people a source of irrigation for agriculture.
Although the flood was temporarily quelled, it was not long and direct after all. Ten years later, the flood broke out again, and it was even more fierce than before. The Terran suffered heavy losses for a while, and Gun was also beheaded by Emperor Shun.
After Gun’s death, a baby was born in the corpse. It was rescued by Daoist Duobao, the master disciple of the Jiao Jiao. Duobao handed Yu to Gun’s wife to raise him. After learning about his father, Yu decided to be his father Yixueqian. Shame, calm down the flood, so I rushed to find a good strategy for water management.
