Chapter One Hundred and Ten Xia Destroys the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 110: Xia destroys Shang

However, after Bo Yi succeeded to the position of communist ruler, many human races were dissatisfied, and when Qi saw this, he began to plot to rebel. Shortly afterwards, after some preparation, Qi successfully won over the support of most of the human tribes, quickly undermined the power of the human emperor Bo Yi, and became the actual leader of the human race. Later, Qi launched a rebellion with the support of the ministers.

Although Bo Yi is a great sage of the human race, his talents are mostly reflected in handling government affairs, but he knows nothing about military affairs. Moreover, many generals of the human race have surrendered to Yu Qi. Bo Yi is a clever wife at this time, so how can he be a carefully prepared Qi opponent?

At present, Bo Yi's army was defeated and Bo Yi himself was captured. Qi thought for a long time and finally decided to execute Bo Yi to eliminate future troubles. At this point, Qi ascended the position of communist rule through force, but many tribes that supported the abdication system rose to resist his rule, which was represented by the Youhu clan. He opposed Qi's rule in the name of "Yao and Shun as the wise men, and Yu was the only one with him." Qi inspired troops to attack the Youhu clan and fought in Gan. Before the war, Qi wrote "Gan Vow", saying that "Youhu clan insulted the five elements and abandoned the three righteous men. Heaven used to suppress his life, and now I will respectfully carry out the punishment of heaven." In the end, the Youhu clan was defeated and destroyed, and its tribes were punished as slaves. Therefore, other tribes did not dare to have any objections.

Qi's rule was confirmed and consolidated. At this time, Qi also officially announced that he would establish himself as king, establish the Great Xia Dynasty, and the hereditary system of the family and the whole world had finally officially replaced the abdication.

Since then, the human race ended the abdication system that lasted for thousands of years and entered the hereditary system. Qi's rebellion was very successful, and it quickly quelled the opposition forces of all parties, making the saints unable to react. When the saints saw the chaos of the human race and wanted to seek benefits from it, Qi had already succeeded in the coup, and the saints could only sigh.

After Qi established the Great Xia Dynasty, he was afraid of the saints' stopping it. After thinking hard, Qi thought about his father Xia Yu's teacher Wuyunxian. Wuyunxian also taught Qi when Qi was young, so Qi still had some feelings for Wuyunxian. Then he thought of the way to deal with the saints, which was to seek protection from other saints. Therefore, considering the relationship between Wuyunxian, Qi directly respected the Jie Cult as the national religion, and began to suppress other sects on a large scale, and burned countless books from the three Western religions.

After several times, all the saints were furious and even the Heavenly Court was implicated. So the saints began to plan and overthrow Qi's rule. Unfortunately, at this time, the people were calm and the people wanted. Even if the saints were dissatisfied with Qi, they could not help but wait for the opportunity.

In this way, when Qi was in power, the human race was able to develop peacefully and the tribes gradually became stronger. However, after Qi died, his son inherited the throne, namely Taikang. After Taikang ascended the throne, the saint began to test the Xia Dynasty.

The West took the lead in taking action. Nowadays, the Westerners are prosperous, and their disciples are the most important sects in the prehistoric times, so they have enough confidence to intervene in the East. Originally, Taoist Junti planned to take action himself, but I thought that this time it was just to test the human race and other saints, and even if it failed, it would not harm the West. So he ordered Sakyamuni to fully handle the matter and exercise.

After Shakyamuni was instructed by Cunti, he carefully planned and ordered people to incite the human Dongyi tribe to rebel and plague Daxia. Taikang gradually lost some of his power under the continuous attack of the Dongyi tribe. However, the people's hearts were still biased towards the Xia Dynasty at this time, so the Dongyi tribe could not destroy the Xia Dynasty.

Later, after the efforts of three generations of monarchs, the rebellion of the Dongyi tribe was suppressed until Shaokang ascended the throne. In this way, the authority of the Xia Dynasty was finally consolidated and stable. This is what was later called "Taikang's loss of the country" to "Shaokang's revival". Later, the rulers of the Xia Dynasty were good at controlling the Dongyi or establishing good relations with the Dongyi. Since then, Sakyamuni's plot also ended in failure. However, Taoist Shunti did not punish him for this, and he still praised him.

When the Xia Dynasty was in power, few princes from all over the world came to congratulate him. The internal affairs of the Xia royal family were not repaired, external troubles continued, and class contradictions became increasingly acute. The national strength of the Xia Dynasty also declined further. By the time of Jie, the Xia Dynasty, which lasted for more than 400 years, was even more declining in virtue and politics, and the people were living in poverty and were full of dangers. However, Jie of Xia did not think about reform and was arrogant and extravagant.

When Jie ruled the Xia Dynasty, he blindly attacked the border countries, which consumed a lot of financial resources. Moreover, Jie was a foolish and incompetent tyrant who wanted to enjoy the people, harming the people and using treacherous slander.

In the 33rd year after Jie ascended the throne, he sent troops to attack Youshi. Youshi could not resist and gave him a tribute to a beautiful woman named Jingxi. Jie loved his sister very much and specially built a magnificent Qiong room, elephant corridor, Yaotai and jade bed for her. All the burdens fell on the people. The people were extremely painful and dared not speak out. Jie valued the slander and rejected the loyal and kind-hearted. There was a villain named Zhao Liang who specifically followed Jie's preferences and taught Jie how to enjoy, how to blackmail, and harm the people, and was favored by Jie.

In the 37th year after Jie ascended the throne, Tang, the leader of the Eastern Shang tribe, introduced Yi Yin, a wise man with both virtue and talent, to Jie.

Yi Yin was a dowry slave to Tang Zhi's wife, and Tang sent him to work in the kitchen. Yi Yin was very talented. In order to make Tang discover himself, he deliberately made the dishes delicious sometimes, but 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's affairs. Tang was surprised and knew that he was a talented person, so he exempted him from his identity as a slave and appointed him as the right prime minister.

Yi Yin used Tang Yao and Yu Shun's benevolent politics to persuade Jie, hoping that Jie would understand the sufferings of the people and govern the world with all his heart. Jie couldn't listen, so Yi Yin had to leave.

In his later years, Jie became even more desolate and ordered people to build a large pond called Yegong. He brought a large group of men and women to the pond and did not attend court for a month. The Grand Historian Junggu cried and advised him, but Jie was very impatient and scolded Junggu for meddling in other people's business. Junggu knew that Xia Jie was hopeless, so he defected to Shang Tang.

Xia Jie had a minister named Guan Longpeng. He heard the angry voice of the people, and he advised Jie: "The emperor was humble and trustworthy, frugal and caring for talents. Only then can the world be stable and the dynasty be stable. Now Your Majesty is extravagant and bloodthirsty, making the people hope that you will perish earlier. Your Majesty has lost the hearts of the people. Only by correcting the mistakes quickly can people win back their hearts." After hearing this, Jie scolded Guan Longpeng and finally ordered him to be killed.

Xia Jie believed that his rule would never perish. So he said, "There is a sun in the sky, just like I have people, will the sun perish? Only when the sun perishes will I perish." He also summoned the leaders of his subordinate tribes to meet and prepare to launch a war to fight against other tribes. In this way, Jie gradually lost people's hearts and made everyone betrayal.

At this time, a Shang tribe of the human race gradually flourished under the leadership of its leader Tang. Jie was worried that Shang Tang would endanger him, so he imprisoned him in Xiatai on the pretext. When the Ministry of Commerce learned about this, he hurriedly sent Jie a lot of money and bribed Jie's confidants, which made Tang release him and return to Shang.

After Shang Tang returned, he won people's hearts with kindness and won the support of the people.

Once, when he went out for a trip, he saw a man hanging a net on a tree, and then muttered to himself: "Whether from the sky or from the ground, all birds from all directions flew into the net."

Tang said to him: "You are too much, how can you kill all the nets like this! Just remove one side and leave three sides of the nets."

The farmer did as he said. Tang Zhu told: "Birds, if you want to go left, go left, and if you go right, go right. Only birds who don't listen to me will fly into the net." Tang's net opened, and after the news of grace and beasts spread, the people praised him for his kindness and kindness to the people, and supported him, and Tang's power further grew.

At this time, the Western religion, which had long been unable to bear, directly joined Shang Tang. With the support of Western religion, Shang Tang finally began to attack the Xia Dynasty.

Tang counted the tyrannical and unruly Jie of Xia Jie, and called on Xia's small subordinate countries to betray Jie and surrender to Shang. Those who did not listen to his advice would send troops to attack and destroy the Xia Dynasty, such as Ge, Wei, Gu and other vassal states to cut off Jie's wings. Shang Tang became stronger and stronger, and he was invincible in the world in eleven battles. Xia Jie was trapped in an isolated situation. Tang also moved the capital to Qiu, using this as a stronghold for advancement, and prepared to finally defeat the Xia Dynasty. Tang also adopted Yi Yin's suggestion and stopped tribute to the Xia Dynasty to test the strength of Xia Jie.

Seeing this, Jie ordered the Jiuyi tribe to send troops to conquer and discuss. At this time, Jie could still mobilize the Jiuyi tribe's troops. Seeing that the people in the world were not completely disappointed with Jie, Tang and Yi Yin immediately apologized for their crimes and resumed their tribute to Jie Xia, and Jie actually forgave Shang Tang.

A year later, the Jiuyi tribe could not bear Jie's brutal rule and rebeled, which greatly weakened Jie's power. Seeing that the time was ripe, Tang and Yi Yin summoned their troops to attack Xia. Jie received the news and led their troops to Mingtiao. The two armies fought, and the soldiers of the Xia army were unwilling to work hard for Jie and took the opportunity to flee one after another. Xia Jie could not stop and had to flee into the city in a hurry. Shang army chased after him. Jie hurriedly took Mei Xi and Zhenbao and fled to the south camp. Later, he was caught by Cheng Tang and was captured and exiled here.

Later, the princes met, and Tang retreated and took over the position of the princes. All the princes all recommended Tang as the emperor. So Tang first ascended the throne and was in Bo, which was known in history as the Shang Dynasty.

At this point, the Xia Dynasty, which lasted for 500 years, ended from the thirteenth generation to the thirteenth generation, and the sixteenth generation.

On the other hand, Western religion also became famous and its momentum was greatly shocked. Moreover, Western religion successfully entered the human race because of its great help to fight against Jie, and finally gained a foothold in the human race.

After Tang succeeded to the throne, under the agitation of Western religions, Tang began to suppress the Interceptor Cult crazily. Unfortunately, the Interceptor Cult had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. What Tang did not only failed to work, but also caused the human race that had just settled to become unbearable again.

After learning about this, Sakyamuni thought about it and asked Tang to give up suppressing the Interceptance Sect and instead publicize Western doctrines, ignoring the Interceptance Sect, hoping to use time to dilute the influence of the Interceptance Sect on the human race.

Sakyamuni's plan was very good. In this way, not only could the human race settle down again, but the Western religion was gradually accepted by the human race. At the same time, the influence of the Jie Sect on the human race gradually decreased. Western planning finally came true.
