In Chinese history, there is a saying that "Yu Chuanzi, family world": Yu passed the throne of Yu to Qi, and Qi passed the throne of Xia to his son Taikang. However, Taikang's prestige was not equal to his grandfather Yu, and his decisive killing was not as decisive as his father's Qi, and he was innocent. According to historical records, a poor chief, Hou Yi, launched a coup in this name and deposed Taikang—this was the famous event of Taikang losing his country in the history of the Xia Dynasty. The incident of Taikang's loss of the country is more controversial in later history circles. Because when Qi was alive, Hou Yi was very valued and he was very timely in eradicating hidden dangers.
For example, "Shangshu" has a record of killing the Hus. Therefore, some scholars believe that it is possible that Qi is not at ease with Taikang, so he appointed Hou Yi as auxiliary minister. After Hou Yi deposed Taikang, he appointed Zhongkang as the monarch. Of course, Zhongkang was a puppet. Power fell in Hou Yi's hands. For a time, Xia entered a dualistic situation: the emperor Zhongkang was named but not real, and the power minister Houyi held the real power. Zhong Kang was very angry at this situation, but he was helpless, so he died of anxiety and anger, and the throne was inherited by his son. After Hou Yi became the de facto emperor, he also began to indulge in wine like the deposed Taikang.
and handed over the power to Han Yun, who of course was unwilling to subdue to Hou Yi, so Han Yun colluded with Hou Yi's wife, Chunhu, and launched a coup to kill Hou Yi. As a careerist, Han Xin is different from Hou Yi. Even if Hou Yi had the idea of thinking about the son of the emperor, he still had to consider whether he was justified and whether he could be recognized by the princes. Therefore, Hou Yi did not dare to make trouble easily, and had to support Zhong Kang Hexiang as the puppet emperor. But Han Yun didn't have so many worries. He believed that as long as he was strong, he didn't need to worry about whether the princes would approve or not. So after killing Hou Yi, Han Yun killed Xiang together and became the emperor.
Xiang’s wife saw that the situation was gone, so she took advantage of the chaos to escape from the capital of Xia, and returned to the territory where there were still clan, and gave birth to Xiang’s son, Shaokang. As a careerist, Han Yun has a common problem with careerists: that is, he is very good at conspiracy and power, but if he governs the country, there is no way to make princes surrender. Therefore, Hanjun chose a simple and rude way: directly sent troops to crusade against the tribes that did not submit to him. In this way, many princes began to miss the benefits of the descendants of Dayu, and their hatred towards the Hanjun court increased day by day.
and Han Xun, instead of realizing the crisis, became complacent: Look! Everyone in the world is afraid of me. After Shaokang grew up, he was appreciated by the chief of the Yu clan, and with the support of the chiefs of the two tribes, Yu and Youzhen, he organized an army of restoration and declared war on Hanshang. Originally, with the power of these two tribes, it was difficult to eliminate Hanjun's court, but when the rest of the world saw Dayu's descendants rise up to fight against Hanjun, they responded with troops. Under the gang fight, Hanjun court turned into fly ash. , Han Yun's entire family was also beheaded by Shaokang.
This is the country of less rehabilitation in history. At this time, it has been sixty years since Hanjun usurped power. From the perspective of traditional historical concepts in the Far East, Hanjun’s court was attributed to a “pseudo dynasty” and lacked the legitimacy of establishing a country. Therefore, even though Hanjun was in power for 60 years, later historians did not recognize this dynasty. Contemporary historians have expressed doubts about the authenticity of this period of history. However, some scholars believe that the wars that lasted for more than a hundred years in the early Xia Dynasty essentially reflected the turbulence during the establishment of the hereditary politics of kingship-Houyi, Hanjiang, and even the The benefits that Qi killed were all saboteurs of the hereditary system of the Xia Dynasty. This may be one of the reasons why later generations deliberately erased this period of history.
