Abstaining? He was about to win, but Wen Ming voluntarily abstained. This move really shocked many people.
Some people even held their breath and almost shouted!
Don't give it to me. It would be a waste to just abstain!
"Abstain? Have you thought clearly? You can't go back on this!"
Yu Zai frowned and warned Wen Ming.
Although everyone thinks that someone with great achievements in flood control should succeed the new king, Wen Ming's shortcomings are also obvious, that is, he needs to be strengthened in managing people's livelihood.
However, in the hearts of some leaders, Wen Ming's status is still stable.
I just didn’t expect that Meng Tu would suddenly come out at this time. The dark horse on the ballot could be equally matched with the people by virtue of his own merits. Even Yu Zai had to admit that Meng Tu had done a good job and he would occasionally go to Meng Tu over the years.
Looking at the land he governs, his political performance is indeed outstanding, and he has been considered as a nominee for the Three Kings.
I just didn't expect that there would be so many people supporting Meng Tu at this time.
Almost the entire Canghai region's leaders supported him, and even the leaders of the northern grasslands and Shanrong also voted in favor. Even the Central Plains and some Baiyue people heard about Meng Tu's achievements and after making horizontal comparisons, they also
chose him.
Yu Zai pondered this in her mind.
The success of Wenming's flood control is now only in the eastern region. Compared with the original historical trajectory, the achievements have been weakened by 70%... It is not surprising to be tied with Meng Tu now, but the god from another world is also
I'm afraid I voted for Wen Ming because of his achievements in water control.
But now that Wen Ming has abstained, the new king is destined to be Meng Tu.
Meng Tu, the so-called veteran of King Qi of Xia in the Book of Mountains and Seas, was a sage in charge of litigation in Badi, and the world called him a god.
Now I have experienced a lot of thinking and learning in Hongzhou, and I have achieved practical achievements in getting rid of poverty and becoming rich, which has finally become the turning point of the new era.
The ministers are not ministers, the king is not the king, only the talented and capable should be appointed.
Emperor Fangxun was also surprised that Meng Tu's appearance was not among the candidates in his mind, but he felt that this could better reflect the will of the people and make the concession more reasonable.
Meng Tu could not cheat. His achievements were all achieved bit by bit with his hands and feet exposed to the sun and rain. He went from Bashan in the far south to study in Hongzhou, and then from Hongzhou to the north.
By the sea, he didn't know anyone here, but he was able to achieve such great good governance. This cannot be erased or covered up.
Di Fangxun looked at Wen Ming: "Do you really want to abstain? Tell me why you abstained?"
Wen Ming sighed: "In terms of my ability and results in political affairs and managing people's livelihood, what I have achieved and achieved are far inferior to Meng Tu's achievements."
"The reason why I get a lot of support is just because I have controlled the floods in the lower reaches of the river and Dongyi area. I can build water conservancy projects, open ditches, open up mountains and rivers, and share the joys and sorrows with the people, but I don't know how to let them
Wealth and honor together.”
"And I control the floods only because the Central Plains sent me there. I am Sikong. It is my job to control the floods. How can this be called merit? I just completed my job."
"Please allow me to withdraw from the candidacy for the throne. Maybe I will come back during the next rotation of the three kings. But this time, I think I am not qualified enough to become the king of Zhuxia."
"The three kings are responsible for the rise and fall of the Xia and have great responsibilities."
Wen Ming's speech shocked many people, but when Yu Zai looked at this scene, some pictures suddenly popped into his mind:
Shun fled Danzhu in Nanhe, and Yu fled Shangjun in Yangcheng.
The princes who went to court did not pay homage to Danzhu but went to see Shun; those who litigated in prison did not sue Danzhu but sued Shun; those who sang songs did not sing eulogies of Danzhu but sung to Shun. Therefore, Shun said: "Heaven!" and he followed the instructions of the emperor.
Bit;
Yu resigned and sent Shun's son Shangjun to Yangcheng. All the princes in the world did not go to court to see Shangjun but went to court Yu. Yu then assumed the position of emperor and faced the world from the south. His country was named Queen of Xia, and his surname was Si.
The ancient etiquette form of three speeches and three concessions, including later when Cao Pi forced Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to abdicate, he also had to "avoid" it in a fake and foreign manner. The source came from these two things.
There is no need to doubt the integrity of the heroes of the ancient clan era. The stories that have been passed down for thousands of years and the sages recognized by even the Mohists who have no kings and fathers have been spread widely by the Legalist Bamboo Book with a single statement that cannot be proved. It is really
It's ridiculous, just because people in the world are so fond of curious things.
The world was established by Yao, civilization was by Shun, and merit was by Yu. There is nothing wrong with abdication by those who have made great achievements. Everyone grows from a weak appearance to a strong one. In the era of ancient clan disasters, the tribesmen,
The person we need is not a fanatical rights fighter like Titin, but a hero who can lead people out of suffering in a down-to-earth manner.
When new heroes appear, the old monarchy will decay and collapse. In this era, it will naturally be replaced. The past achievements are not enough to maintain the succession of the throne. This is abdication.
Of course, these heroes in ancient times may also aspire to the position of co-leader, but they are a little different from the later careerists... The ancient heroes may at least want to save face, and they will really feel embarrassed
, after all, future generations can imitate their behavior and make shameless concessions, but there is no one in front of these people for them to imitate.
In the world, there is no need to engage in imprisonment. In ancient times, people just did it if they didn't obey. Chiyou jumped ship when the Yellow Emperor was unhappy. Emperors Yan and Huang fought when they didn't like each other. Shaohao died. Gonggong and Zhuanxu both said they wanted the throne.
After sitting down, he stood up and fought for it. If Zhuanxu won, he would tie the sun, moon and stars to the northern celestial pole so that no one else could see them. Emperor Ku also dared to shamelessly take the throne in the hands of Gaoxin's eldest son, Di Zhi.
.
In an era when no one was too shameless, there were only three people, Yao, Shun and Yu, who were at least shameless. Yao said that he would not benefit anyone by taking advantage of the world's ills. He also thought about passing Danzhu to the throne but gave up in the end, and Shun
They are the first kings to avoid and run away, so they are the holy kings.
Many thoughts came to Yuzai's mind, and for a moment she looked at Wen Ming silently, which made Wen Ming slightly panicked.
What Yu Zai was thinking at this time was that maybe when he arrived at Fu Qianyuan, everything was already doomed. Dayu was destined to be separated from Wen Ming, and the last emperor after the Five Emperors would also change his identity.
Shi Qianyuan, there is nothing noteworthy about this land. In the Classic of Mountains and Seas, it is just an ordinary place name. There are too many plains, lakes, mountains, and highlands marked with it.
But in "Historical Records", Fu Qianyuan is a very important place.
Dayu controlled the floods, dug roads between nine mountains, and diverted nine large rivers. Finally, when the flood control was completed, the place he reached was Fuqianyuan in the south of Jiujiang!
So Jiu Shan travels, Jiu Chuan travels to the plains, Jiu Ze joins the border, and the four seas unite!
And in this current plane, the place where water control begins is Shiqianyuan!
"I ask you one last time, there is no chance of turning back. Do you really want to give up?"
"Yes."
Wen Ming did not give in, he respectfully left his seat and went to the crowd at the back.
So, Emperor Fangxun and Yuzai looked at each other and announced the coronation of the new king!
"Ah, three kings! As the lord of all peoples, you must be cautious in what you do, be sure in what you do, make appropriate conclusions, and supplement them with virtue. Everyone in the world will respond and support them, and follow the orders of God with a calm heart.
, God will give you good luck again and again!”
"Meng Tu! Stand on the stage and face the south. That is where the world is!"
