    This person's situation was similar to when Xiaojiu fell back into his backyard. He looked a little confused. He struggled to stand up with a confused look on his face. He obviously didn't know where he fell.  At this time, Qingniu had rushed over and said, "Master Boyi, why is it you?" Xiaojiu was also surprised, and then "recognized" the person.  Although he has never met Boyi with his own eyes, he has heard Huwa tell "stories". Boyi was an assistant who followed Dayu to control floods. Now his status in the Chinese court is second only to the emperor's "fake emperor". How could this happen?  Brought here by a gust of wind?  Looking at the scene just now, it is clearly like the great magical means that Mr. Wang once used.  After Qing Niu called out, the wind stopped and the clouds subsided between the sky and the earth, and when we looked up, we saw a clear sky again.  Boyi recognized Qingniu at this moment and said in great surprise: "Qingniu, how did I come here? What place is this and what happened?" Qingniu shouted: "I still want to ask you,  Where were you just now, and how did you get here? " Year after year, the vegetation withers and grows, and there are always countless new lives and countless deaths.  And this year, three people passed away. One of them was the ancestor of Baoming Kingdom, and Young Master Xiaojiu spent his last time with him.  And during the three months since Xiaojiu left the other courtyard, the farm also lost a strong man.  The white basket stayed in the rain and accidentally caught a cold. After returning home, the fever persisted, and unfortunately, he died young.  Wind and cold were the cause of his death, but according to ancient sayings, he died of depression because he had been worrying about Xiaoxia.  Before he died, Bai Lanzi told his younger brother about his life's emotional pain on the hospital bed, and this story was actually passed down to later generations.  Some people were moved by the depth of his affection, and many, many years later, someone wrote a song about it. The song was called "My Life Was Mistaken", and the lyrics said: "I shouldn't have met you that year" This song  There are many moaning words, but to some people's ears, they may sound emotional.  But at that time, no outsiders paid attention to Bai Lanzi's life-long emotional pain. Although Xiaojiu knew about Bai Lanzi's daydreams, she never caused him any trouble because of it, and Tailuo didn't know anything about it.  Unfortunately, Bai Lanzi died young, and Tailuo donated his wealth to support his family.  The death of Bai Basket was unknown, and at most it was just a sigh of relief from everyone in the farm.  But at the same time, the death of another person shocked the world.  Emperor Dayu died near Kuaiji Mountain during his patrol.  Both Emperor Shun and Emperor Yu died on their way to patrol and were buried in places of great significance to them.  Jiuyi Mountain is the starting point for Chonghua to display its ambitions; Kuaiji Mountain is the place where Dayu¡¯s tripod established China.  The history of later generations said that Shun died during his "southern tour" and that Yu died during his "eastward journey".  In fact, these two places were in the south of the land of China in the early years, and Kuaiji Mountain was further east, located in the land of Baiyue.  It can also be seen from this statement that from the time of Shun to Yu, China's territory expanded greatly to the south, and Kuaiji Mountain was already called "East".  The situations of Yu and Shun are also different.  When Shun died, he had already abdicated the throne of emperor to Yu, completing a smooth transition.  When Yu died, he was still on the throne and had no successor to the throne.  When the emperor travels, the "fake emperor" sits in the imperial capital.  In the event that the emperor died unexpectedly, it was Boyi's responsibility to serve as temporary regent and to convene the courtiers and ministers to discuss the next emperor.  Since Lord Gaotao passed away, Boyi was established as a false emperor by Dayu.  When the emperor's mournful news came, a confidant said to Boyi: "Yao Chan was in Shun's position, and Shun gave the emperor his son Danzhu, but Danzhu was not accepted; Shun's Zen was in Yu, and Yu put his emperor's son Shangjun, and Shangjun  I don¡¯t accept it either. You have made great achievements in controlling water and governing the world, and your virtues are worthy of the throne of the emperor. The emperor has long wanted to enthrone you, but it is a pity that you have not been able to carry out the regency. You should succeed the emperor."  I had long wanted to cede the throne of emperor to Boyi, but I just didn¡¯t have time to do so. Is this really the case?  This is just what Boyi's close friends said. The most important basis is that Boyi's identity is a false emperor.  If Dayu did not want to pass on to Boyi, why should he be made a false emperor?  But this statement does not prove anything, because when Emperor Shun became emperor, Gaotao was a false emperor, but it was Dayu who succeeded him as emperor.  Boyi himself believed this statement deeply, and was ready to ascend to the throne of emperor, but he thought deeply: "I must give way to Xia Houqi." Chonghua and Dayu both made humility back then,  Boyi felt that he should also follow this form, otherwise it would be difficult to show the emperor's virtue.  The close confidant said: "The emperor is humble, but Xia Houqi should not accept it and dare not accept it, otherwise he will be abandoned by the world." Boyi immediately held a court meeting to formally exercise his authority to "act on behalf of the emperor" and discuss common issues.  The matter of pushing the emperor.  Of course, some of Boyi's cronies came forward at the court meeting, praising Emperor Dai's merits and virtues, and believed that Boyi should officially inherit the throne of emperor.  But Boyi said: "I will mourn for the late emperor for three years. After three years, I will let the emperor sit in Xiahouqi." The implication of his words is that he recognized this statement and prepared it.?Following what Shun and Yu had done, they mourned the late emperor for three years as the emperor, and then made a stand to give way to Xia Houqi.  But after all, Boyi's identity was not the emperor, and this matter could not be decided by the ministers only at the court meeting, so he took advantage of the situation and ordered to convene all the kings of the world to discuss it, so that the important matter could be settled like this.  Unexpectedly, the news reached Xia Houqi, but Xia Houqi did not buy it. He even directly scolded Boyi in front of all his ministers for trying to usurp the throne against etiquette. He was not qualified to make this decision, nor could he represent the world in mourning for the late emperor.  , let alone give way to him Xia Houqi three years later.  Boyi wanted to carry out the old deeds of Shun and Yu, but his identity was different.  When Yao and Shun died, Shun and Yu had already been emperors for many years. It was just a move to follow the trend after spending three years in mourning and then surrendering to the emperor.  However, Boyi was not yet the emperor, so he was indeed not qualified to announce such a thing in advance. Such an announcement would expose his plan.  Boyi in the imperial capital immediately heard the news that Xia Houqi did not obey his order and came to the imperial capital to attend the meeting of all the kings of the world.  Most of the ministers who received the order did not come to the imperial capital, but went to see Xia Houqi.  The number of princes from various tribes who were ordered to come to Boyi only accounted for one or two out of ten.  When Dayu was in power, he did not designate who would be the next emperor, but he did not have no successors.  Dayu was not like Bao Mingjun. He only had an only son like Xia Houqi.  The forces that supported Dayu back then are now unanimously supporting Xia Houqi. Most of China, such as Xiahouhou, Tushan, Chongchen, etc., all have this attitude.  Boyi miscalculated. When he heard the news, Xia Houqi had already announced his succession to the throne of emperor with the support of all the ministers, and led his troops to the imperial capital.  Xia Houqi did not come to attend the meeting of kings on Boyi's order. Boyi decided to abandon the imperial capital and leave, but he took the human emperor's seal with him.  The Seal of the Human Emperor was first left by Taihao. It was a token of the alliance leaders of various Chinese ministries. Later, of course, it became a status symbol of the Chinese emperor, and only the emperor could control it.  When Dayu traveled, he left the Human Emperor's Seal in the imperial capital. Regent Boyi took charge of the Human Emperor's Seal, and he must have been unwilling to take it away.  In his opinion, if the Human Emperor Seal is not in hand, even if Xia Houqi becomes emperor, it will not be so justifiable.  Xia Houqi was furious, and immediately attacked Boyi. This battle was called the Battle of Gan, and some people said it was born in Gandhi, and it was also called the Youhu Rebellion.  There are tribesmen who have a grudge against Xia Houqi. They think that they were severely punished by Dayu for their ineffective participation in flood control. Now they support and even encourage Boyi to fight against Xia Houqi.  Xia Houqi's pursuit was a little hasty, and he only brought his entourage with him, but he failed to win the first battle.  Xia Houqi immediately confessed his fault, summoned his troops and various military formations to rush for reinforcements, and fought again to defeat Boyi and his troops.  Boyi was defeated in the battle and was thrown off his chariot in the chaos. He was about to die with swords, but a strong wind blew inexplicably on the battlefield.  Boyi was swept up into the sky, and when he came to his senses, he fell in front of Qingniu and Xiaojiu.  Dayu died in the Kuaiji Mountains in southeastern China, while Luze was far away at the junction of Luliang Mountains and Yinshan Mountains on the edge of the river. It took several months for the news to come.  At this time, Xiaojiu returned to Baoming Country, which was even more remote and in such a chaotic situation at that time, and had never heard of the Emperor of China.  After he figured out where he had come, met Qingniu and Xiaojiu again, and asked about the relationship between Xiaojiu and Huwa, Boyi realized that Huwa should have saved his life from the rebels.  Qing Niu was also stunned when Boyi introduced where he came from and why he was like this.  He was practicing in seclusion in the mountains, but he didn't expect that such a big thing would happen in the world.  Xiaojiu and Tailuo didn't know what to say. Whether they were commenting on Boyi or Xia Houqi, there were many things they couldn't say easily.  At this moment, someone suddenly heard someone in the forest say: "Master Boyi, I have advised you before, why do you do this?" Everyone turned around and saw that it was Ziqiu walking over.  Ziqiu, as the uncle of Jiqiu tribe and the Chinese Jiqiu clan, rushed to the imperial capital to persuade Boyi, but Boyi did not listen to his advice.  Today, Boyi was captured by Huwa from the defeated rebel army with the power of the Xian family. Ziqiu seemed to have expected it and was already waiting here.  Xiaojiu hurried forward to greet him and saluted: "Mr. Ziqiu, why are you here too?" If Xiaojiu calls him "sir", he refers specifically to Huwa, but for Ziqiu, he will specifically add his name.  Ziqiu pointed at Boyi and Xiaojiu and said, "I'm here for him, and I'm here for you. Back then, Lord Tiger asked you to stay here to practice, and said that you would have something to entrust me with in the future, which means today."  "What happened today?"  Just now I asked, why is it like this, and why is it like this? "Bo Yi has a good cultivation level after all, and he is already here."After carefully tidying up her appearance, all the blood and stains on her body were gone, and her silk was no longer scattered. Except for a few tears in her clothes, there was no trace of embarrassment on the surface.  He saluted Ziqiu and said, "I'm just unwilling." Almost no one can explain this matter clearly. Even after a thousand years, future generations will not be able to explain it clearly. Anyway, everyone has his own reason.  .  The word "unwilling" almost expresses all Boyi's feelings.  Boyi was born when Yao was the emperor, and went through three generations of emperors: Yao, Shun, and Yu. This was also the period when the Chinese Empire was experiencing the fastest development and expansion, as well as the greatest turmoil and change.  The succession of emperors that he witnessed personally was not passed down from father to son. Yao-chan was succeeded by Shun, and Shun-chan was succeeded by Yu. Both of these were because Chonghua and Yu had great achievements in governing the world and were supported by various tribes.  As Yu's most important assistant in controlling floods, Boyi believed that he had made great achievements, and all ministers should support him. In addition, he had been a false emperor for so many years, and had served as regent many times when the emperor was traveling.  The big position is even more logical.  Deep down in his heart, Boyi had long regarded himself as the next emperor. Unexpectedly, things backfired, and of course he was unwilling to do so.  In Boyi's view, this was simply a denial of his entire life.  Ziqiu shook his head and asked: "Xuanyuan Zen is located in Shaohao, and Emperor Yao is the son of Emperor Jun. Are you unwilling to do so? Emperor Shun once gave way to Danzhu, and Emperor Yu once gave way to Shangjun. If the son cannot inherit his father's throne,  , Why should they be like this? If you want to compare Xia Hou Qi to Danzhu and Shangjun, but you don't know that you are not Shun or Yu, so you are in trouble today!" Ziqiu's words actually revealed an illusion, Boyi.  The illusion seen.  Who said that under the abdication system, a son cannot inherit his father's throne?  In fact, the three generations of emperors - Qing Emperor, Yan Emperor and Huang Emperor - have been passed down to this day. In most cases, the emperor's position is passed from father to son. If there are no sons, it is passed to his younger brother or nephew.  Not to mention the emperor, the positions of princes in various ministries and the titles at all levels in the country are basically inherited in this way.  Bojun designated a son as his successor and trained him from an early age. When he could become the next Bojun, the handover of the Zen position would be completed.  The most typical example is that Wu Huizhuan is located in Luzhong and Luzhongzhuan is located in Kunwu.  If there is no such tradition, why should Chonghua give way to Danzhu, and why should Dayu give way to Shangjun? Aren't they unnecessary?  Boyi had that illusion because he was born in a very special and almost unrepeatable historical era.  Didn¡¯t Emperor Yao want to be passed down to Danzhu?  But Danzhu was unworthy. At that time, there was no one else but Chonghua who could inherit the throne of emperor.  Didn't Emperor Shun want to pass the throne to Shangjun?  But Shang Jun was incompetent, and the position of emperor was none other than Yu.  Although Boyi was unwilling to do so, he must also recognize the fact that no one in the world, nor any minister, would think that "there is no one but benefit" or "no one but benefit".  "If Danzhu had Chonghua's ability and Shangjun had Yu's prestige, they would have been emperors long ago.  It's not that the emperor's position cannot be passed down from father to son. What Boyi saw was just an illusion.  Chonghua and Dayu dared to give up their throne. They were really brave. They knew very well that Danzhu and Shangjun could not nod and become emperor.  Boyi made a gesture of giving way to Xia Houqi in three years. He didn't really give in. He just wanted to stabilize Xia Houqi first, but Xia Houqi didn't accept this trick at all.  In the final analysis, the problem still lies with Boyi himself. No matter how unwilling he is, he has to admit that his talents, strength, and prestige have not reached the level he thought he had.  Boyi was still a little unwilling after hearing this, and said: "Master Ziqiu knows that after Qi succeeded to the throne, he named the country Xia, and ordered that the throne of emperor should be succeeded by the eldest son, abolishing the system of abdication. He also used the gold donated by Kyushu to cast the Jiuding  , named Yu Ding after his father, which symbolizes the stability of the world for thousands of years." Ziqiu asked, "What do the kings of the world think?" Boyi said, "I heard that all the kings of the world succumbed to the power of Xia Qi, and they had no choice but to do so.  They all expressed their support." Ziqiu shook his head and said, "I was there at the time, and the situation I saw with my own eyes was different from what you heard. The kings in the world did not succumb to Xia Qi's power, but readily followed it.  Who advised the emperor on his succession?" Boyi said with an indignant look, "Since Lord Ziqiu is here, he certainly knows better than me." What Boyi is most angry about is Xia Qi's decree.  If the eldest son's inheritance system replaces the abdication system, then a talented and meritorious man like him will forever lose the opportunity to ascend to the throne of emperor.  If this were not the case, he would not unite with his subordinates to raise troops to fight against Xia Qi, and would simply hand over the Human Emperor Seal.  Ziqiu sighed and said: "If there is a direct descendant, there is no direct descendant, and that is my advice." The inheritance system of direct descendants is divided into two parts, first is the direct descendant, and second is the elder.  The so-called legitimate son is the legitimate son of the first wife. There is no doubt about the identity and status. If there are many legitimate sons, the eldest son will be the eldest.  If there is no legitimate son, the eldest son can be established.  If a person is both the legitimate son and the eldest son, then the succession is justifiable, unless he makes a mistake and is punished or punished.The identity of the heir is indeed abolished.
