"The power of the king" is a law advocated by the monarch in order to consolidate his power during a religious period. It means that he is sent by heaven to govern the world in the mortal world. The king is the representative of the gods on earth. As the people, he can only follow the instructions of the monarch and cannot resist.

Xia was such a dynasty. In "Shangshu Zhaogao", it said: "There is Xia robe (received) the destiny of heaven."

Through union with the temple, Qi announced that his ancestors were God, he was the descendant of God, and he managed the tribe, and the position of the common master was their family, and the "family world" was opened.

The Xia Dynasty was not a very complete country, but a relatively loose tribe. It used the method of sealing the area, just like the one from the Youxiong Tribe back then. You just need to recognize my status as the co-lord, and there is no necessary obligation.

Yu and Qi were both qualified rulers, but Qi's son Taikang was not good. Taikang only cared about traveling and ignored political affairs. The Youqiong tribe took the opportunity to advance westward. Houyi, a leader who was good at shooting, won the Xia Dynasty under the support of Xiamin.

Later, Taikang's grandson Shaokang defeated the Youqiu tribe, which historians called "Shaokang's Restoration". Xia went through more than ten generations, and finally Jie ascended the throne and became the first tyrant in history.

Since the Xia Dynasty, a strange cycle of reincarnation that cannot be escaped in Chinese history has appeared. First, the founding king worked hard to govern, and then the country began to decline. If you meet a wise ruler during this period, it will start a "revival" era, and then go downhill again. Finally, the dynasty perishes and the next dynasty enters this cycle.

The same was true for the Shang Dynasty. Shang Tang destroyed Xia in the Battle of Mingtiao and established Shang. A prosperous slave country was launched. Compared with Xia, the Shang Dynasty was more like a country, forming a huge bureaucratic ruling organization and army, and also produced characters such as oracle bone inscriptions.

After Shang Tang, the Shang Dynasty began to decline. When Pan Geng became king, he moved the capital to Yin and the Shang Dynasty began to revive. Because the new capital was in Yin, the Shang Dynasty was also called the Shang Dynasty "Yin Shang" in later generations, and finally passed to King Zhou, and the Shang Dynasty was destroyed.

The Xia and Shang dynasties, thousands of years passed in this way. During these thousand years, Chen Kan was not limited to China. He traveled to all the civilizations that existed in Asia, Europe and Africa, and read the "Huangting Jing" more than 1.4 million times.

Like Xia, Shang and Xia were both granted the power of the king and the divine authority, and they all claimed that their ancestors were gods and that it was legal to rule the people. However, this statement took a thousand years to fool the public for a thousand years, and it was gradually untenable.

For the legitimacy of rule, the Zhou Dynasty invented another kind of "divine authority for the monarchy".

This is his own regime looking for a reasonable way of explanation.

The power of the king is still a divine gift, but this time the "divine gift" is a bit different. God is actually not the ancestor of any tribe. God is the supreme existence. God actually chose the ancestor of a tribe as his spokesperson for the world. If this spokesperson is not qualified, then replace it.

At first, God chose the ancestors of the Qi tribe as the spokesperson, but later this spokesperson was unqualified, so he changed to the ancestors of the Shang tribe. Now this spokesperson is unqualified, so he chose Zhou.

Therefore, the Zhou Dynasty had the legitimacy of ruling the world. The King of Zhou called himself the "Zhou Emperor" and established a very complete feudal system, thus opening up the foundation of Zhou for 800 years. This was the longest-standing dynasty in Chinese history.

Chen Kan disguised himself as an old man with white hair, fishing bored by the Wei River. He was finally summoned by King Wen and finally helped King Wu to conquer the Zhou Dynasty. Chen Kan was granted a feudal title for official duties. After more than a thousand years, Chen Kan returned to the starting point again, enfeoffed Qi, and was in Shandong now.

This time Chen Kan did not go out for a trip, and Chen Kan needed some time to summarize his gains of more than 1,400 years.

For more than 1,400 years, Chen Kan has been an ordinary person, a temple priest, a tribal leader, a slave, and aristocrat in China. In addition to gender issues, Chen Kan has experienced all the experiences...

I have seen all the civilizations on the Asia, Europe and Africa, built a country from scratch, and destroyed ancient civilizations with my own hands...

I have recited the "Huangting Jing" about two million times, and I have constantly used the "Body Tempering Art" to temper my body, rethink my martial arts, and have also used the "Body Tempering Art" to re-edit my martial arts many times...

One thousand four hundred years, very long.

"Huangting Jing" is indeed very useful. It doesn't feel anything once or twice, but after reading it for a million or two, the mountain in Chen Kan's upper dantian is already high and cannot reach the top. The river at the foot of the mountain is like a sea, and it cannot be seen.

If the mountain in Chen Kan's Dantian is Mount Tai now, then the Fengyun plane is just an ordinary small hill, and the gap is more than a thousand miles.

Because he couldn't see the top, Chen Kan didn't know whether the mountain continued to grow. Instead, as the reading continued, I didn't know if it was Chen Kan's illusion, Chen Kan felt that the mountain was going to grow shorter.

In addition, regarding his own cultivation, Chen Kan also realized that the so-called "golden elixir" in his dantian was actually just a qi and blood golden elixir, not the martial arts golden elixir he thought at the beginning. The martial arts golden elixir condensed the trinity of essence, energy and spirit, but that golden elixir is just formed by the condensation of qi and blood. At most, it is an essence and spirit, and it lacks qi, so it is not considered a martial arts golden elixir.

In order to gather a real martial arts golden elixir, Chen Kan sacked his cultivation six times, re-educated his skills seven times, and practiced his three spirits, hoping to achieve the martial arts golden elixir, but he never did.

Thirty years ago, Chen Kan re-cultivated the sixth time and condensed a golden elixir again. Chen Kan ended his wandering and returned to China, returning from the west, and happened to meet King Wen of Zhou, and then pretended to be the old man who was willing to take the bait. Of course, it was not Jiang Taigong, but Chen Taigong.

I wonder if the person who was holding the God Whip in his hand and the God List would change from the original Jiang Shang to Chen Shang.

Not long after completing the great cause, Chen Kan "died" again. After Chen Kan "died", he found a deserted island in the East China Sea to retreat, hoping to summarize his gains and feelings over the past 1,400 years and be one step closer.

Chen Kan believes that if the cruise ship lets him come to this plane, in addition to experiencing history, there must be other intentions. As for what it is, Chen Kan doesn’t know. It may be to find the future path, or to allow himself to condense the martial arts golden elixir...
