Chapter 12 after the massacre

After the massacre, the voices of opposition died down in blood. "Shangshu" said: Shun patrolled the four mountains, "Liu Gonggong in Youzhou, let go in Chongshan, ran three seedlings in Sanwei, and killed Gun in Yushan. The four crimes will be accepted by the world." Of course, the world will obey. If there is any dissatisfaction, the "four evils" will immediately become the "five evils".But the most wonderful thing is Mr. Kong Qiu. His Excellency's explanation of the massacre is: "Yi Fangxun discovered Yao Chonghua's virtuous ability, which is not precious. After discovering it, he did not doubt it at all. It is truly valuable to destroy all those who sow dissension, and even kill those who advised him."

The original text says: Yao knows Shun's sages, not the ones who are difficult.It is very difficult not to rely on what he suspects, but to defeat what he observes, and even to criticize and remonstrate Shun who must be passed on.Under the banner of politics in command, blessed are those who hold authority. Truth, justice, justice, and people's hearts belong to them. Even saints stand by their side and strive to turn decay into miracles.Those who were loyal to the government became rebels, and those who were brutally suppressed were praised instead.All the historical relics in history have been used by careerists from the beginning, distorted and turned upside down, black into white, and white into black, becoming a spectacle of a dog barking and a hundred dogs barking.

At this time, the time to usurp the throne is ripe.In 2258 BC, Mr. Yi Fangxun finally stepped down and bowed.According to common sense, his Excellency stepped down and bowed. Of course, Mr. Yao Chonghua bowed.This overripe apple must fall into the big basket that he had already placed under the tree.However, the records in ancient books are too brief about this "abdication" that was praised in every possible way by later Confucian intellectuals. There is only one sentence in "Historical Records": "The death gave Shun the world." Other ancient books are even more vague, where they are mixed with mud, rambling about, and don't know what to say. "Emperor Century" said: "Yao took (married) Sanyi's daughter, called Empress, who gave birth to Danzhu. There were also nine concubines, all of whom were unworthy, so Shun was ordered by the world." "Lu Shi Chunqiu" said: "Yao has There are ten sons, and Shun is not given to his sons." "Huainan Zi" says: "It belongs to the nine sons, and the jade of Zhaohua is given, and it is passed on to the world."

There is no book that records the specific steps of the transfer of power. It only records that Mr. Yi Fangxun once said that he would give up the throne to two other people. One of them is Mr. Xu You. When he heard that he was going to be the leader, his heart was broken , Why, teach me to fight Yao Chonghua! Roll up the bed and run, ran to Jishan (20 kilometers north of Tang County, Hebei), and hid like a robber.Another of them is Mr. Zhifu of Zizhou. Mr. Zhifu of Zizhou said that he himself suffered from a strange disease of "sorrow" and could not deal with politics. There is no record in ancient books when Mr. Yao Chonghua refused to take over, not even pretending to refuse.
