Chapter 282

More than 20 years later, Yao died, but after Yao's death, his body disappeared and could only be replaced by a clothes grave. When the people knew the news of Yao's death, the whole country was as sad as losing their parents. Shun ordered that in order to commemorate Yao's achievements, no banquets, songs and dances would be allowed in all directions within three years.

After three years of mourning, Shun gave way to Yao's son Danzhu and retreated to the south of the South River. However, when the princes made a pilgrimage, the people eulogized, and the village decided the case, they all came to shun, and almost no one paid attention to Danzhu. All the officials said it was God's will. Chonghua could no longer refuse, but had to assume the throne of emperor, that is, Emperor Shun.

After Shun came to power, he revised the calendar again and held a grand ceremony of sacrificing all saints, heaven and earth, and mountains and rivers; He also collected the letters from the princes, and then selected an auspicious day to summon the princes and chiefs everywhere to hold a grand ceremony and reissue the letters. When he ascended the throne, he toured all over the country, offered sacrifices to famous mountains, summoned princes and investigated the situation of the people; It was also stipulated to patrol once in the next five years to investigate the improvement of princes' achievements and clearly set rewards and punishments. It can be seen that Shun paid attention to the connection with the local government and strengthened his rule over the local government.

The responsibilities of Gu, gaotao, Qi, Zi, Boyi, Kui, long, Chui, Yi and others that had been used were not clear, so Shun ordered Gu to serve as Sikong to control water and soil; He ordered him to serve as Hou Ji and take charge of agriculture; He ordered Qi to serve as an apprentice and carry out enlightenment; Gaotao was appointed as a "Scholar" to take charge of the criminal law and make fair decisions so that all people can be treated fairly; He was appointed as "Gonggong", in charge of all kinds of work, and all craftsmen can devote themselves to it; Mingyi served as "Yu" and was in charge of the mountains and forests; He ordered Boyi to serve as "zhizong", preside over the etiquette and make concessions from top to bottom; Kui was appointed music official, in charge of music and education; Life dragon but Ren "Nayan" is responsible for ordering and collecting opinions. It is also stipulated that the political achievements shall be inspected once every three years, and the promotion or dismissal shall be decided by the results of the inspection. Through such rectification, the achievements of the common people are Xianxi, and all kinds of work have taken on a new look. Since then, Emperor Shun's work has been carried out all over the world, and all Ming virtues in the world began with Emperor Yu, showing an unprecedented peaceful situation.

Shun also asked people to draw five forms of punishment on the utensils to serve as a warning; Instead of corporal punishment, exile was used to show leniency. However, they also set up flogging, throwing punishment and redemption punishment. In particular, criminals who refuse to repent should be severely punished. The bad guys should be punished, and the people all over the world are convinced

However, after Zhuan Xu, the saints saw the successive failures of elucidation, no sect came to assist the emperor, and all affairs were under the jurisdiction of the emperor.

After Shun succeeded to the throne, Kunpeng called his disciples together again and asked them to talk about their feelings about the human race.

After so many years of cultivation, Jingwei also had immortal accomplishments and understood many things. She asked, "teacher, since the death of emperor Zhuanxu, why didn't there be a sect to assist the emperor?"

Kunpeng said: "the sermon has failed twice in a row in the matter of the emperor. Instead of getting benefits, it has lost its own face. The emperors after the three emperors are not very important, so the saints don't want to lose their face in the Terran, so no one goes to assist the Emperor."

Jingwei said, "no matter how small merit is, a little makes a lot. They are too careful. Merit is not so easy to get."
