The replacement of the Five Emperors of the Terran Race

Xuanyuan completed the unification of the human race for the first time, and after the completion of merit, the throne was passed to his son Shaohao, during this period, the emperors of the human race were passed on according to the sages, and did not avoid relatives.

After Shao Hao abdicated, he was succeeded by Emperor Zhao, who was re-passed down in Yao, and Yao was also a wise monarch, who reigned for more than seventy years, was deeply respected and loved by his people, and after his old age and decline, Yao wanted to find a wise and virtuous successor.

Someone around him recommended Shun, Shun was very filial although he was bitter, his mother died early, and his father was blinded by injury, so he found a stepmother for Shun.

The stepmother treated Shun badly since she was a child, and after having her younger brother Elephant, she became even more intense, and the younger brother was lazy and lazy, and only wanted to kill her brother Shun, and then inherit her father's property alone.

Shun did not say anything after knowing it, or filial piety to his father and stepmother, until one day, when Shun delivered medicine to his father, he found that his father's door was hidden, but the voices of three people came out, it turned out that the stepmother and brother were discussing with their father to drive away Shun, and the father did not agree and quarreled.

When Shun heard this, he simply left home in disappointment, fulfilling his stepmother and brother, and after Shun left his home, he lived in the village at the foot of Alexandria.

Alexandria has beautiful scenery and fertile land, that is, the folk customs are slightly tough, often quarreling and fighting for an acre of good land, Shun will help the villagers solve the contradictions, and when they come and go, Shun's reputation spread in the village, and he was unanimously elected as the village chief, and Shun shirked but gladly accepted the appointment.

With Shun's governance, the village also became rich and strong, and more and more people joined, and Shun's name also reached Yao's ears, and after passing Yao's test, Shun successfully succeeded Yao's position and became the emperor.

Yao attached great importance to Shun's character, not only passed on to Yao, but also married his two daughters, Empress Dowager Yingtong, to Shun, who did not disappoint Yao, and during his reign, not only was he well versed in government affairs, but also had a very kind relationship with his two wives.

Shun so diligently governed the Terrans, so that the Terrans developed better than when Yao was in power, and the clansmen deeply remembered Shun's virtues.

With the continuous rainy season, the water of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River began to flood, causing many terrans to be displaced, and Shun ordered people to control the water, and everyone was like Shun.2

Cang also has no experience, just blindly build a dike to block, but does not want to cause a greater flood, Cang is very remorseful, begging Shun to behead himself to reassure the people, Shun agreed to Cang's request to cut the carp.

Although the carp died, the water was still cured, and at the recommendation of the clan, he gave the heavy responsibility to Yu, the son of the carp, and Shun also personally went to the area where the disaster was severe, but did not want to go back.

Empress Dowager Ying heard the bad news and after handling Shun's affairs, she met and sank into the Xiang River and went with Shun.
