However, just when Mr. Yao Chonghua was full of ambition and thought that his country was solid, the time bomb that destroyed him smoked under his buttocks.This time bomb was placed there by Mr. Si Gun, one of the "Four Murderers" who "killed".It was easy for Mr. Yao Chonghua to exclude Mr. Si Gun, but after the exclusion, he encountered difficulties: first, the Xia tribe led by Mr. Si Gun, based in the present Yu County, Henan Province, was the only tribe that knew water conservancy engineering at that time; and his son Mr. Si Wenming is also a water conservancy engineer as famous as his father. Mr. Yao Chonghua has no other choice but to ask Mr. Si Wenming to inherit the unfinished water control project of his father.The second is that Mr. Yao Chonghua, in order to prevent future troubles, said in history books that he once exiled all the family members of the "four murderers" to a wild area 2,000 kilometers away from the capital, Puban, to be with ghosts.But Mr. Si Gun's family members are not included. One is the value of his son, Mr. Si Wenming, as a senior technician, and the other is that the Xia tribe is too powerful. If they use force to fight back, Mr. Yao Chonghua is not sure of victory.

Under such circumstances, Mr. Yao Chonghua had no choice but to appoint Mr. Si Wenming to continue flood control.Mr. Si Wenming knew his position, and he didn't dare to show his anger until his tribe was stronger.He used a low profile to resolve Mr. Yao Chonghua's suspicion of him, being cautious and fearful. "Historical Records" describes him for thirteen years of flood control, "passing through the house but not daring to enter."Please pay attention to the master reader, he is "not daring to enter", not "refusing to enter", he dare not follow the same mistakes as his father.This is the negative side.On the positive side, "Emperor Century" pointed out that he cultivated his own strength all the time: "Work hard, don't pay attention to the diameter of the wall, but love the shade of the sun, and calluses on the hands and feet." Fat, one meal and three meals."

Thirteen years later, Mr. Si Wenming leveled the flood, which brought his reputation to the peak. Under the cover of the flood control supervisor, he traveled all over the country to gather forces against Mr. Yao Chonghua, which was also completed.Therefore, Mr. Yao Chonghua, the last king of the Yellow Emperor Dynasty who started his career with conspiracy, found that he had lost control over Mr. Si Wenming, just like his father-in-law, Mr. Yi Fangxun, found out that he had lost control over him. "Eight Kai" and "Eight Yuan" can no longer play a role (it is also possible that after Yao Chonghua ascended to power, he turned around and attacked them for safety reasons).History repeated itself, and Mr. Yao Chonghua had to announce sadly that he would transfer the throne to Mr. Si Wenming.

Mr. Si Wenming refuses to accept this kind of trick, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, the time for great revenge has come.He imitated Mr. Yao Chonghua's method of dealing with Yi Fangxun, and in 2208 BC, he arrested Mr. Yao Chonghua and exiled him to the distant Cangwu (Ningyuan, Hunan).Cangwu is in the southeast of Youyu, and the straight-line distance between the two places is 50 kilometers. This is a mocking punishment. It is so close to his exiled brother, Mr. Yao Xiang, and it gives him a chance to show his cute face when he had no power. .How Mr. Yao Chonghua died is not recorded in the history books. It is only known that he died in Cangwu and was buried at the foot of Jiuyi Mountain in Cangwu.

Traditional historians cannot overturn the fact that he died in the wilderness, so they can only describe it as: "On a hunting tour in the south, he died in the wild of Cangwu." Mr. Yao Chonghua was a hundred years old that year. Two thousand years later, in the third century BC, it was still a land of insects and snakes, and it was not a Chinese territory. Even if Mr. Yao Chonghua was insane and had thirteen points, he would not suddenly go mad with epilepsy, crossing thousands of mountains and rivers, overcoming thorns and thorns, Go 1,200 kilometers away (the distance on the ground may be about 3,600 kilometers) and "hunt" in the unknowable wilderness.Traditional historians are best at using beautiful calligraphy and paintings to beautify ugly facts. "Shun hunting" and "collapse" are just one example.

It should be noted that Mr. Yao Chonghua was exiled to the wilderness, and his wives Nvying and Ehuang were not by his side.This is circumstantial evidence that his Excellency is beyond his control.Husband, when Mr. Yao Chonghua fell to his death in the wild smoke and vines, and swallowed his last breath, looking back on the past, he died farther away from his homeland than his father-in-law, and I am afraid that there are too many sighs.It is a pity that these sighs are not recorded in the history books.
