At the same time, the princes of the same surname Youhu (Hu County, Shaanxi) in the west rose up to oppose it. Qi led an army to fight against Yugan (west of Luoyang City, Henan), and wiped out the Youhu clan. Xia Qi eliminated these interferences, consolidated the king's power, formally established the hereditary system, and started the "home world" situation in my country's history.
In order to make the hereditary kingship affirmed by many princes, Xia Qi gathered many princes in Yangdi, the capital city, to hold a grand "Juntai Enjoy". It shows that the ruling foundation of the Xia Dynasty has been completely determined.
Boyi used to be Dayu’s main assistant in water management and invented a new method of sinking wells. He is good at animal husbandry and hunting, and once taught people to use fire to drive away wild animals in the forest. Therefore, in the minds of people at that time, Boyi was a hero second only to Dayu.
With the consolidation of the throne, Xia Yu increasingly felt that the royal power he had finally obtained should be taken over by his son, and could not be inherited by anyone else. However, Boyi has made great contributions and is highly prestigious, and he was elected as his heir at the meeting of chiefs. King Yu felt that the anger was difficult to commit, so he had to push the boat along the river and agreed. For this matter, King Yu became more and more irritable, sleeping and eating. Later he thought: "The reason why I can successfully inherit the throne of Shun is because he was respected and loved by people for his merits in water control, and second, after Shun chose himself as the heir, he would let himself exercise the power to govern the world. If I also follow suit. What Shun did in those days, let his son carry out the power of ruling the world, and only give Boyi the name of an heir?" So King Yu asked Qi to participate in state affairs. A few years later, because his son Qi handled state affairs very well, his status in people's minds also increased. As the heir, Boyi did not have new political achievements. The good things he did in the past have gradually become Forget about it. After King Yu died, his son Xia Qi truly exercised the royal power. The leaders of most tribes also expressed their allegiance to Qi. They said: "Qi is Yu's son, and we are willing to be loyal to him."
Boyi saw things like this, and was furious. He was originally from Dongyi, he summoned the Dongyi tribe to lead an army to kill Xiangqi. But Qi had prepared well, after a great battle, defeated Boyi's army. To celebrate the victory, Xia Qi held a large-scale banquet in Juntai (now Yuzhou, Henan) and publicly declared that he was the second-generation monarch of the Xia Dynasty. From then on, the family world system of the death of the father and the son succeeded the public world system of meritocracy.
Although Qi defeated Boyi, many tribes expressed strong opposition to his change to the tradition of meditation. There was a tribal leader named Youhu who stood up against Xia Qi's approach and demanded that he be still in Boyi according to the decision of the tribal meeting. As a result, Xia Qi and Youhu fought in Ganze (now Huxian, Shaanxi). The two armies faced each other. Before the start of the war, Xia Qi encouraged the soldiers to say: "I want to tell everyone that the Youhu clan is disrespectful to the Emperor, and the king's orders are not obeyed. The heavens borrowed my hand to destroy him! So you must obey my orders. , Fight hard, don't slack off!" After Xia Qixun finished speaking, the soldiers of the Sixth Army brandished knives and guns, shouting and rushing towards the Youhu team. After a fierce battle, the Youhu clan was defeated, and the members of the Youhu tribe were punished as slaves. Since then, Xia Qi's throne has finally been secured, and the family world system of father and son has officially begun.
The story of Xia Qi’s implementation of the hereditary throne shows that the clan commune system of primitive society has been completely disintegrated at that time, the world is the public clan tribal meeting system has been transformed, the prototype of the country has begun to appear, and the slave society has come as a home. The replacement of primitive society by slave society was an epoch-making progress in human history. Because in primitive society, the low level of productivity makes people's lives extremely difficult. In the slave society, the division of labor between agriculture and handicrafts, social productivity has been greatly improved, production has been greatly developed, people's lives have been greatly improved, and conditions have been created for the prosperity of culture, so this is a historical advance. development of.
