Xia Qi's later years were extremely absurd and extravagant, which made Da'er Taikang see it in his eyes and itch in his heart.
When he succeeded to the throne, he didn't want to make a difference, and immediately began to enjoy himself.
There was no entertainment in the primitive society, so Taikang took his men out hunting, for a few days or a hundred days, and there was no home at all.
Due to the lack of supervision of power, Taikang was lazy in government, and the title of the first faint monarch in history was detained, and it quickly had a bad negative effect.
Yi, the leader of the Youqiang clan of the Dongyi tribe, took the opportunity to raise troops to launch a war to capture the capital of the Xia Dynasty, and Yi became the de facto ruler of the Xia Dynasty, and Taikang was rejected from the city and exiled to Gedi.
By the way, Hou Yi here is a historical figure, not the mythical figure who shot the sun. Hou Yi is also good at shooting, but he can't shoot the sun, otherwise the Dongyi people would have unified the earth a long time ago.
After Hou Yi plundered the territory of the Xia Hou clan, he supported Taikang's younger brother Zhong Kang as a puppet and forced the Xia Hou clan to pay tribute to the poor clan for a long time.
Nagong made the life of the clan hard and uncomfortable, Taikang's fifth brother Wuguan looked forward to his brother's return in Luoshui to solve the external troubles, but Taikang never came back, and may continue to hunt. I had no choice but to create "Song of the Five Sons" with tears.
The lyrics are to the effect - Taikang, you have forgotten the teachings of your grandfather Dayu, you loser, it's really remorseful!
The good times didn't last long, Hou Yi didn't learn any lessons from Taikang's loss of the country, and a few years later he was also addicted to field hunting and women, and was killed by his cronies Han Xun and his concubine Chunhu.
Han Xun stills. Then, Han Xun forcibly occupied the territory of the Xia Hou clan and pursued and killed the descendants of Dayu by unscrupulous means, which almost led to the extinction of the Xia Dynasty. After 60 years, with the help of the old ministers of the Xia Hou clan, Ji Shaokang was able to restore the country, and was known as Shaokang Zhongxing in history.
It can be seen that in the absence of supervision, power is very easy to breed corruption, and the greater the power, the greater the harm, and it is extremely unreliable to expect those in power to exercise self-discipline.
Hou Yi told us with facts that the vast majority of people will neither learn the lessons in front of them nor the lessons of history, and indulge in repeated repetitions in the long river of history.
