And then I went on to say it last time.
Hou Ji lived and died, and his son bu wu succeeded to the throne.
There is another way of saying about succession.
According to legend, Hou Ji was very fond of his younger brother Tai Xi (Emperor Zhao's fifth son), so bian passed the throne to Tai Xi. After Tai Xi's death, his sons and uncles all took the throne.
Let's first understand the resume of the abandoned brother Tai Xi.
Name: Tai Xi
Gender: Male
Father: Emperor Zhao
Eldest brother: Hou Ji
Son: Shu Jun
Nephew: No
According to the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Great Wild West Classic:
There is the kingdom of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the surname of Ji, the valley of food, and the name of the person who cultivates the name of Shu Jun. Emperor Junsheng Hou Ji (後稷), Ji Descended to Baigu (百谷), Ji's younger brother Yue Taixi (曰台玺), born uncle Jun, shujun (叔都) was on behalf of his father and Ji Sowing Hundred Grains and began to cultivate. ”
Tai Xi was emperor's fifth son, the younger brother of Hou Ji, and the leader of the Zhou tribe, and he and his son Shu Jun, as well as the eldest brother Hou Ji, were revered as ancestors by the Zhou people.
According to the Zhou History, Hou Ji passed the throne to his younger brother Tai Xi because he loved him, and Tai Xi passed the throne to his son Shu Jun.
In the end, Shujun passed the throne back to his abandoned son BuZhu, and The descendants of Bu Shu were able to inherit the throne from generation to generation.
ShuJun was the nephew of Houji, he was very fond of agriculture, and inherited the fruits of Houji's agriculture, in the long labor, he found that the bison was tamed after being very docile, obedient, and very strong, so he tried to train bison to replace people to do heavy work.
The beginning of replacing human work with cattle took agricultural production a big step forward.
Remember
The use of livestock instead of human farming was invented by Shu Jun!
Shu Jun was a man who was very clever, intelligent, and had a high prestige among the people, and he ruled a much larger territory than his father.
From the north to the Hebei region, south to the south of Nanling, west to the Gansu region, and east to some islands in the East China Sea, he ruled the place.
Of course, he also made many places that now seem very inappropriate, for example, during his reign, Shujun stipulated that women must avoid men when they meet men on the road. If this is not the case, it will be pulled to the crossroads and beaten up, although this law is only a legend, but it shows that in the era of Shujun, men were dominant, women's status was very low, and men's authority in society had been established.
There was another tribe of Shujun's contemporaries, whose leader was called the Gonggong clan.
It is said that the Gonggong clan was a descendant of the Yan Emperor, and his tribe was in the north of present-day Henan Province, and he also attached great importance to agriculture, especially to water conservancy work, and invented the method of building dikes and storing water, which was called the water god, and in today's terms, he was a water conservancy expert.
Building dikes to store water is the invention of Gonggong!
The construction of dikes is a clear distinction of co-construction!
Building dikes to store water is a clear distinction between co-workers!
Say important things three times.
We all know that water conservancy is the lifeblood of agriculture, the use of water is crucial, and co-workers are another person who contributes to agricultural development after Shennong (the role of fire on agriculture).
There should be applause here.
Gonggong had a son named Hou Tu. He is also proficient in agriculture.
In order to develop agriculture, Shu Jun and the Gonggong clan jointly investigated the land situation and found that some places had high terrain, and the fields were very difficult to water, and some fields were low and easily flooded.
Since these situations were very unfavorable to agricultural production, the co-workers drew up a plan to transport the soil from the high places to the low places, which would facilitate agricultural irrigation.
However, Shu Jun disagreed, believing that he had the highest rights, and could only listen to him alone, opposing the methods of the public clan, so the two had a very fierce struggle, ostensibly a compromise of the water and land here, but actually a struggle for the rights of the emperor.
Shu Jun is very clever and witty, and good at using his brain, he instigated everyone not to listen to the words of the Gonggong clan, many people were deceived, thinking that the Gonggong clan leveling the land would anger the ghosts and gods, causing disasters, so Shu Jun had the support of the majority of the people.
The Gonggong clan did not have the understanding and support of the people, but he firmly believed that his plan was correct, and for the benefit of the people of the world, he was determined to sacrifice himself and train his career with his life.
He came to Mount Buzhou (today's Pamir Plateau) to show his determination by knocking down the summit of Mount Buzhou, and there was a story of Gonggong angrily bumping into Mount Buzhou.
As for whether it is the Gonggong clan and Shu Jun, or the Gonggong clan and the old father Zhu Rong, or the Gonggong clan and the Gonggong clan competing for the throne, angry and angry, it remains to be examined.
In short, shujun confessed before his death that after his death, he passed the throne to Hou Ji's son, that is, his cousin, Bu Zhen.
