Chapter 824 King Power
Chinese people always like to give certain things and people the titles with numbers like "Top Ten Masters" and "Four Great Classics", which seems to be more imposing.
This tradition should have come from the two titles of "Three Emperors" and "Five Emperors". "Three" corresponds to heaven, earth, man, and "Five" corresponds to the five directions, five elements, five colors, etc.
The so-called "Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors" were not summarized by people at that time, but compiled by later generations. The statements about "Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors" were recorded in different documents were completely different.
Take Huangdi as an example. Some people put Huangdi among the "Three Emperors", while others put Huangdi among the "Five Emperors". Even among the "Five Emperors", there are different opinions on which Huangdi is in.
Because it was too chaotic, ancient literati did not argue about the specific sorting, let alone modern historians. Because they did not have the support of archaeological materials and rely on ancient documents to speculate, the academic community simply treated this coldly.
The only two people who have not argued are: among the "Five Emperors", the positions of Yao and Shun are basically certain, and the others have their own opinions on whether Dayu belongs to the "Five Emperors".
As I said before, the saying "Dayu is a worm" is circulating in the historical community. There are two meanings in this sentence. One is the literal meaning, and there is the word "worm" in the character "Yu"; the other meaning is that it is impossible to determine whether Dayu is really a good person.
Chen Kan now has an answer to this question. At least in this plane, there is really the existence of Yu.
But the others of the "Five Emperors", Chen Kan, as a witness of history and a scholar of history, said in this plane that he did not understand which five were. As for the "Three Emperors", it was too early.
It has been four hundred years since Chen Kan came to this plane, "four hundred years", and only three words are written, which is lightly stated. Chen Kan has recited the "Huangting Jing" more than 550,000 times in this plane. This is the concept of four hundred years.
Now, the land of China is vast. In recent years, due to climate changes, the rainfall has continued to soar and floods have flooded, and Chinese civilization has suffered huge damage.
The tribal alliance was naturally not idle, and had carried out water control many times, but it was not that simple. Modern society already had a relatively complete river system and governance system, but it was inevitable that it would suffer heavy losses in the face of sudden floods, let alone people from this era.
The truth that "it is better to be loose than to block" seems extremely simple to modern people is summarized by ancestors with their lives.
Moreover, it is easy to do, but it is extremely difficult to do. This plane is not a mythical plane. There are no magical magic, no mountain axe, only two hands, and all rivers are dug out with both hands.
The entire tribal alliance worked together and took a total of eighteen years to finally defeat this flood. The name of the co-lord who led all the suffering was "Yu".
In addition to a large number of casualties and property losses, the biggest change in Chen Kan's view was that the right of the co-lord was unprecedentedly enhanced.
This is like a war period, where leaders need more concentration of rights to face challenges, and this time facing floods is also a war!
In order to mobilize the greatest resources to manage floods, all tribal alliances united as much as possible, and there was no change of the co-lord within 18 years, and the Presbyterian Church basically disappeared.
In order to better control the flood, Yu placed a large number of his tribe in some important positions. This was not for personal gain, but for flood control. Yu was a descendant of the former Gonggong tribe. His tribe was good at controlling the flood, and it was inevitable that such arrangements were made to overcome floods.
At the same time, the divine power was greatly weakened because in the face of such a surging flood, people found that the gods they originally worshiped could not provide them with protection, and in the end they had to rely on their own strength to solve the problem. This was completely different from the omnipotent God they imagined.
In addition, when controlling the flood, many clergymen also charged forward and lived with ordinary people for a long time, which made the little mystery between ordinary people and clergy disappear, and the awe of God is less.
The Presbyterian Church disappeared, concentrated power, weakened divine power, and important positions were all members of their tribe. The result was that the rights in the hands of the Communist Lord were enhanced unprecedentedly.
The powerful rights bring about an inflated desire. After controlling the flood, Yu found that his rights were unprecedentedly powerful, and a thought arose in his mind, whether he could regard the position of the co-lord as a private property and pass it directly to his son?
Yu first tried slowly, and at the same time arranged his son Qi in an important position, and arranged some people with strong ability to do things for his son. In modern terms, it is to "making achievements."
Yu lived fifty-two years old. Because he made too great contributions to water control and concentrated power, he was the first person to die in the position of communist ruler and also served as communist ruler for the longest time.
After Yu's death, his son Qi successfully became the Communist Party. If Qi was just an ordinary person, then history might change in the future. However, Qi was also a person with both ambition and strength. He inherited his father's wishes and rectified the tribe, with the purpose of making the Communist Party a private property of their clan.
He also turned his attention to the temple and made a big fuss about the flood, mainly trying to explain one thing, that is, the ancestors of their clan were Gods, and he was born to rule the entire tribe.
In order to obtain the support of the temple, Qi also offered extremely generous conditions, which was a great thing for the temple. The high priest agreed without hesitation.
The high priest at this moment is no longer Chen Kan. Chen Kan "died" a hundred years ago. After pretending to die, Chen Kan went to other tribes to experience life and observe the world. Staying in the temple is not conducive to Chen Kan observing the world. Chen Kan traveled around the world with various identities and governing the flood, Chen Kan also participated in it as an ordinary tribe citizen.
Not only ordinary tribal people, Chen Kan also experienced the life of slaves. After the flood control, Chen Kan used his feet to travel around the world. When Chen Kan came back again, the divine power and the royal power were closely combined and difficult to separate.
