Confucianism has been popular since the pre-Qin period, and although it suffered heavy blows in the "book burning pit Confucianism" during the reign of Qin Shi Huang, by the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the "Confucianism of Exclusive Dignity" made the doctrine of Confucianism blossom everywhere and had a profound impact on future generations of China.
Since ancient times, our country has taken Confucianism as the precursor and paid attention to "benevolence, righteousness, wisdom and faith" in dealing with the world. Ancient scholars also followed Confucian doctrine in judging the merits and demerits of kings, and could give them a more objective evaluation.
There have been many monarchs in history who have been brutally tyrannical and usurped the throne, but they have all gained recognition under Confucianism. But there was only one monarch who was completely excluded from Confucianism, and he was the monarch Of the Xia Dynasty.
Deported
Around 2013 BC, China was in the middle of the Xia Dynasty, and Han Hun was born in the seventh year of Zhongkang. His hometown was located in the area of present-day Weifang City, Shandong, which at that time belonged to the Xia Dynasty and was called hanguo, which was the place where the ministers were given mourning during the early Yellow Emperor Dynasty.
Historians once thought that he was a descendant of emperor Han Huyan, "Emperor Lai", but his reputation was too bad, so he became a descendant of the Yellow Emperor. So what did he do to make his reputation so bad that even historians would erase him from history?
Han Hun's parents are local farmers, and because he is an only child, they are particularly doting on him, pampering him to the point where he can respond to everything. This makes Han Hun form that arrogant and arrogant personality.
At that time, in the city, he was like a "little bully", often robbing other people's things, whether it was food or toys, others did not give him punches and feet, beating others to cry father and mother. Fights later became his routine, and neighbors avoided him.
Soon the tribesmen could not bear it any longer and went to condemn his parents and let them discipline their sons. His parents also felt that he had done something too much, so they criticized him twice, who knew that Han Hun not only did not accept it, but hated his parents.
In the end, he simply tied up his parents and continued to go outside to do evil. Such disloyal and filial piety completely annoyed the clan, and they jointly went to the patriarch to complain about Han Hun's behavior, and the patriarch was very angry after hearing this, thinking that this person had repeatedly taught and did not change, so they ordered him to be expelled.
But even so, he still had no remorse, and on the day of his expulsion, he did not go back to see his parents, and then went straight out of the cold country, when he was only thirteen years old. Han Huan walked while thinking about how to live his future life.
On the way, he heard that Hou Yi had captured the capital of the Xia Dynasty and had established himself as king. Han Huan thought about it, why not go to Houyi, maybe he can still make a contribution. So he hurried to the capital city.
Who knew that on the way to the capital, he met an old gentleman with strong martial arts, and he saw that Han Hun was very smart and a good seedling, so he decided to take him as an apprentice and teach him all the martial arts of his life. Han Hun felt that if he wanted to go to Houyi, he must have real skills, so he agreed.
After more than a year of study, Han Hun became a martial arts hero, and at this time he felt that he could go to the capital.
However, when he bid farewell to his master, he was suddenly afraid that the master would teach martial arts to others, so he poisoned all the master's family and set fire to the house, leaving them all buried in the fire. After settling the matter, he was at ease on the road.
Power is tilted against the opposition
Han Hun came alone to the capital of the Xia Dynasty, lived in the city for more than ten days, and finally met Houyi after doing points through various parties, he won the appreciation of Houyi with his extraordinary martial arts and clever eloquence, so he was appointed to the court, and Houyi also adopted him as a righteous son.
At this time, Han Hun knew that his foundation was unstable, he could no longer act like before, and those arrogant personality traits must be retracted. Then he made a lot of friends with the powerful in the DPRK and china, paving the way for his future.
Hou Yi knew that he had a kung fu, so he sent him to serve as a small leader in the army. Han Hun also cherished this opportunity, and made many military achievements in the army, and it took only one year to be promoted from a small leader to a general.
Subsequently, he made great achievements in the rebellion and neutrality of the pacifying the Xia Dynasty's vassal state of Fang Yi, and was greatly praised by Hou Yi, who promoted him to the position of Left Sima in the army and also took charge of the marriage for him. At this time, Hou Yi already trusted Han Huan very much, and he often said, "It is my blessing to have a righteous son like this."
However, Han Hun ostensibly respected Hou Yi, but behind his back, he called him "old stuff". How can a person who can be cruel to even his biological parents be good to Houyi? He had been thinking about how to seize the throne of Houyi.
At that time, Hou Yi was old, gradually abandoned the government and government, and handed over the power of the DPRK to Han Hun to take care of, which also provided him with the opportunity to form a party for personal gain. Later, Han Huan also killed the humerus ministers of Houyi and supported his own power.
He is very good at catering to the preferences of Houyi, and in his fifties, he is also accompanied by beautiful people all day, and Han Hun often scavenged for beautiful women in the folk and sent them to the palace to play with Houyi.
Once when Houyi went out, he saw an eighteen-year-old girl, and Han Hun quickly sent someone to inquire, knowing that the girl's name was Pure Fox, so he forcibly took her back to the palace and dedicated her to Houyi.
But this young girl was not willing to marry an old man at all, so she wanted to take the opportunity to kill Houyi to avenge. In the end, she actually hooked up with Han Hun and became an adulterer, and the two murdered Hou Yi together. At this time, the court was full of cold people, and after Hou Yi's death, he ascended the throne as emperor, and the courtiers did not dare to speak.
Failure is a failure
After Han Hun became the monarch of the Xia Dynasty, he began to order the slaughter of Houyi's poor clan, and he also had Houyi's body chopped into meat paste, made into meat cakes and dipped in poison to give to his people, which was extremely cruel.
After settling the family's affairs, he worried about his throne. At that time, he was only half of the country, and the rest were the princely states and the Xia Hou clan. His greatest fear was that the Xia Hou clan would unite with the princes to rebel against him.
So he decided to preemptively attack the Xia Hou clan, and after more than ten years of fierce fighting between the two sides, Han Hun finally destroyed the Xia Dynasty and took them all into his own, and his throne was truly as stable as a rock.
After the War, Han Hun implemented policies such as tax reduction in China, which greatly improved the national strength and gradually strengthened the country. At the same time, after the war, he ordered all the descendants of the Xia Hou clan to be exterminated, but he did not expect that there was a fish that had slipped through the net.
At that time, when Han Hun invaded the Xia King's City, one of Xia Wangxiang's pregnant concubines, Hou Miao, climbed out of a water hole in the corner of the palace wall and went all the way back to her mother's house. A year later she gave birth to a boy named ShaoKang, who was the widow of Xia Wangxiang.
Shao Kang grew up surrounded by national hatred and family hatred, and his only wish was to avenge his father and his people. Later, after his existence was known to Han Hun, Han Hun sent someone to hunt him down. He fled to yu yuguo in a hurry, and did not want to be taken in by the monarch and became his son-in-law.
Yu was not only married to him by the monarch, but also gave him fiefdoms and soldiers and horses. Later, the old minister of the Xia Dynasty, Bo Jing, also secretly contacted the tribesmen of other princely states and asked them to turn to Shaokang.
Sixty years after Han Hun, Shao Kang led his troops to declare war on Han Hun. They marched all the way into the major fiefdoms and capitals of the Xia Dynasty, and also beheaded Han Hun's two sons.
When Shao Kang's army approached the capital of the Xia Dynasty, Han Huan, who was already in his eighties, was sleeping in the concubine's bed. The general who guarded the city knew that the general situation was gone, and quickly opened the door to surrender and attacked the palace with ShaoKang, pulling the bare-butt Han Hun out of the bed.
Shao Kang then sentenced Han Hun to capital punishment and exterminated his people, just as he had committed in the Xia Dynasty.
Han Hun ruled the Xia Dynasty for sixty years, and although the country's economy developed during his reign and the people were well fed and clothed, because of his bad character and belonging to the unfaithful and unfilial and unjust people, he was completely erased in the eyes of future generations under the rule of Confucianism.
