Chapter 179 Ancient Kyushu 1

The stars are drooping, and the night wind is blowing. On the fourth floor of Diqiu, on a terrace on the edge of the Imperial Palace, Di Yao is sitting with Yao Chonghua. This terrace is called Zhulutai. It is located at the end of the apse of the Yellow Emperor's Palace. It is slanted out from the mountain of the imperial hill, almost hanging in the air. Under it are the continuous buildings and lights on the imperial plain. The beacon tower, arrow tower, watchtower and so on stand like bamboo shoots.

Di Yao's life is extremely simple. On this deer platform, there is nothing more than a stone table and two stone stools. The two sat opposite each other, looking extremely empty, as if hovering in the void for thousands of years, they were helpless.

"I often sit here under the night and think deeply." Di Yao looked up at the starry sky and sighed, "How long will it be in chaos after a hundred years of life?" How big is the emperor in the eyes of the universe? Every time I think about it, I can't help sighing.

Yao Chonghua nodded: "The size of the universe and the depth of chaos are really not what a hundred years of time can see through. I visited the four divine masters on Gu Shezhi Mountain on the north bank of Fenshui. I was lucky to see Xu You's divine master and once asked him a question.

"Oh?" Di Yao was moved, "How dare you see Xu You? What a rare blessing! What questions did you ask him?

"The world is so small in the universe, and I am just an unreachable trace of dust in the world. Life is so short in a hundred years. What should I do to deserve to come to this world?" Yao Chonghua said.

"Good question." Di Yao nodded and said, "How did Master Xu You answer?"

"He said, "Yao Chonghua frowned, and there was a confused luster in his heavy pupils. "How big Pangu is. In sleepiness and chaos, chaos is also a cage; even if he breaks through chaos and divides heaven and earth, he is still in heaven and earth, and heaven and earth is also a cage. People are limited by the breadth of heaven and earth, and have been trapped in a hundred years since ancient times. If you ask about the universe, it is nothing more than summer insects and ice; if you ask about the world, it is nothing more than local chickens and dogs storing things for the winter.

Di Yao was suddenly dumbfounded and couldn't help smiling bitterly: "I'm in charge of Yanhuang and inculating the people. Is it actually a local chicken and a tile dog?"

Yao Chonghua was shocked. He immediately restrained his mind and said with a smile, "I also asked about the education. Xu Youshi only said 16 words."

"Which sixteen words?" Di Yao Dao.

"The armored soldiers who understand the virtues of heaven and earth, and hold the symmetrical way to peace."

Di Yao said silently several times and couldn't help sighing: "The four gods, it lives up to its reputation! After thinking about it for decades, he actually said it in sixteen words. Chonghua, do you know why I launched the Yao War for 20 years and wanted to conquer Sanmiao?

"Naturally, it is a unified wilderness, and education has been promoted." Yao Chonghua said cautiously and only answered Di Yao's own words. Di Yao launched Yao's war for 20 years, and the soldiers of all races were killed and injured, but the effect was very small. Therefore, there was a lot of dissatisfaction in Yanhuang. However, Di Yao was kind and enlightened, and he was indispensable for other things, but he was extremely stubborn to Yao's war. When he encountered this big problem, Yao Chonghua suddenly became cautious.

Di Yao shook his head and said, "Of course, the promotion of education is the ultimate task, but unification may not be able to promote education!"

"Oh?" Yao Chonghua was surprised and said, "Why is this?"

"Do you know why there are continuous killings and conflicts everywhere in the wilderness and even in the Yanhuang Alliance?" Di Yao asked himself and answered, "The elemental system is different because it is one. The five elements are mutually resistant to each other. People who practice the five elements can't fight against each other. Over time, they will solve the deep hatred of the sea of blood, which is difficult to liquidate. This is helpless. The five elements are left by the gods, and no one can change them. Therefore, since the beginning of the Yellow Emperor, he has begun to solve the problem of opposition between the tribes in the wilderness.

Yao Chonghua frowned and said, "Has His Majesty the Yellow Emperor solved this matter? Does he have a way to solve it?"

"Not bad." Di Yao said, "Why do the tribes in the wilderness keep attacking each other? One is that the elements are different, and the other is that the tribes are in their own affairs and attack each other for the interests of each other's tribes. Although the Yellow Emperor is the co-owner, he cannot interfere in the internal affairs of each tribe. So the Yellow Emperor set up a wilderness system, Kyushu!"

"Kyushu?" Yao Chonghua pondered, "Jiuzhou is indeed an ancient system. It is said that the Yellow Emperor divided the wilderness into Kyushu. Each state contains several tribes, but these tribes are split. Each state is sent by the alliance to take charge of the affairs of the state. However, it has not been implemented for 400 years. After a long time, it seems that not many people know about it.

Diyao nodded: "Yes, the core of Kyushu's ancient system is that the alliance sends officials to manage all places, not by the tribes themselves. According to the system set by the Yellow Emperor, the wilderness is divided into a boundary. Eight families are one well, three wells are one neighbor, three neighbors are one friend, three friends are one li, five miles are one city, ten cities are the capital, ten capitals are one division, ten divisions are the state, and the whole wilderness is divided into Kyushu. The state has state herdsmen, teachers have teachers, and all have capital envoys. There are Yicheng, Li and friends have their own strengths. Officials at all levels are dispatched by Diqiu. In this way, it is equivalent to Diqiu dividing and controlling the tribes and running daily government affairs. Which tribe will conflict with each other?

Yao Chonghua took a long breath and said, "This is really a wonderful idea. It can really eliminate the conflict between the wilderness tribes. However, in this way, the tribes are decomposed, and I'm afraid that no tribe is willing to hand over themselves to the management of others.

"Yes!" Di Yao sighed, "That's why the ancient system of Kyushu could not be implemented. Fangxun is not talented. It is precisely because he wants to implement Kyushu that he does not hesitate to launch Yao's war for 20 years to integrate the wilderness.

Yao Chonghuaqi said, "What does Yao Zhan have to do with Kyushu?"

"Hey!" Di Yao smiled bitterly, "You still don't know that when the Yellow Emperor divided the territory and set Kyushu, the south of Huaishui was divided into two states, Jingzhou and Yangzhou. As you know, the south of Huaishui is occupied by Sanmiao. He refuses to accept Wang Hua and repeatedly provokes trouble. Don't tell them to be divided into two states. With the jurisdiction of officials sent by Yanhuang, it is extremely difficult for them to worship every year! In addition to military conquest, what other means can I bring them to Yanhuang?
