New historical drama: Song of the Five Sons---Chinese history that should not be forgotten

1. Synopsis

In the winter of 2016 BC, 78-year-old Xia Houqi was critically ill, and in order for the "hereditary system" created by Dayu to continue, he established a succession system of "father dies and son succeeds, brother dies and brother dies, and son does not pass on daughter". After Taikang succeeded to the throne and kept filial piety for his father for three years, he began to indulge in luxury. In order to show his majesty, he ordered his second brother Yuankang to choose to build the new capital Zhen, and let the fifth brother Ji Kang (Wuguan) make meritorious contributions and use the army to relocate the Jiuding cast by Dayu, causing the side air defense to be weak; He ordered his third brother Bai Kang to choose a concubine for himself and destroy the "monogamy" system, ordered his fourth brother Zhongkang to build a new platform in Luoxi, to imitate Dayu's "Tushan Alliance" and his father's "Juntai Enjoyment" and meet the princes, and imitate the "Nine Songs" to compose new music and dance, and ordered the sixth brother Du Kang to make wine for the alliance.

In the spring of 2011 BC, Empress Xia Taikang ordered Zhongkang to supervise the kingdom and lead hundreds of civil and military officials from the new capital to hunt along the Yiluo River to the north of the Yellow River, but did not return for more than three months. The leader of the Dongyi clan, Yu Yi, was a descendant of Dayu's original successor Boyi, and was dissatisfied with the "family world" of Empress Xia, and took the opportunity to attack Xuan at the instigation of the traitor Hanxun. Zhongkang could not resist, so he had to surrender, and Yuyi originally wanted to stand on his own, but he was afraid that the twelve princes of the Xia clan would counterattack, and issued an edict criticizing Taikang's incompetence, and after establishing Zhongkang as the new Xia, he changed it to Zhongkang, and at the same time expelled Taikang's wife and daughter from Xinzhen and exiled Taikang. Taikang had no choice but to go east, came to Gedi, built a soil city on the Changbai Mountain by the Whirlpool River and lived there, named Yangxia, and the history was called "Taikang lost the country".

After Taikang lost his country, the Yuankang brothers discussed and held an alliance in Luoxun Xintai to fight against Yuyi and Hanxun. Zhongkang designed to escape from Xingzhen and take his mother to Yangxia to find Taikang. Yu Yi and Han Xun guessed that there must be a conspiracy, so they secretly followed. After Yuan Kang and other brothers came to Luoxu, they found that none of the princes of the world and the prefect of Kyushu had come, and they were disappointed, so they went east to chase Zhongkang. The five brothers gathered in the west of the old whirlpool, mixed feelings, took the stage to write "Song of the Five Sons", remembered Dayu, denounced the absurd government of Taikang, and summed up the lessons learned from the brothers' loss of harmony and foreign enemies taking the opportunity to steal the country.
