Yan Taikang, surnamed Yan, named Taikang, eldest son of Qi. Inheritance after illness and death. Taikang was the third monarch of Xia Dynasty in China. It is recorded in "Peaceful Magnolia" and "Imperial Century" that he has been in office for 29 years, but in fact he has only been in office for two years. So what is Xia Dixian Taikang like? Why did Xian Taikang only reign for two years? What kind of person is Xian Taikang?

Xian Taikang, surnamed Si, the third emperor of Xia Dynasty.

In his later years, Yan Qi's life became increasingly corrupt. He likes drinking, hunting, singing and dancing, but he ignores state affairs. In 20 15 BC, Qi died and his son Taikang succeeded to the throne. Xian Taikang played with his father Qi Xian since childhood. After he ascended the throne, his life was more corrupt than that of Qi Xian. He only cares about drinking and hunting, not political affairs. When he went hunting in the north bank of Luoshui, he took away the state affairs for Hou Yi. This is the story of "Taikang lost his country" and "Houyi replaced Xia" in the history books. Therefore, Xian Taikang actually only reigned for two years (nominally reigned for 29 years), and died of illness and was buried in Yang Xia (now in the west of Taikang County, Henan Province).

Yan Qi was not good at martial arts when he was young, and he didn't get married until he was 35. However, after he got married, he married three wives in a row and gave birth to daughters instead of boys. He was very depressed. Later, he was ordered by his father to govern Yangzhai (now Yuzhou City, Henan Province) and train the army. In the thirty-first year of Yushun (2224 BC), he married a local girl there and gave birth to his first boy, named Taikang. Qi qi's young wife is really something. After Taikang, she gave birth to five sons in succession and became the first hero of the Xia royal family. Yan Taikang was 28 years old when Yan Yu, the first king of Xia Dynasty, officially proclaimed himself king, and had been following his father Yan Qi to join the army. After his grandfather died, his father Qi succeeded to the throne and he became a minister of North Korea. Because his father likes him very much, and he is the eldest son of the king, his father made a will in his later years and made him the heir to the throne.

2 188 BC, the first year of Taikang, that is, the year of Qiuci. The Xia Dynasty stole the world by Yu Yu, who held powerful power, and Qi Qi also seized the position of the son of heaven by powerful power. As early as the reign of Emperor Yao, Yu Xia used the opportunity of water control to form an army. According to today's bamboo chronicles, in 76 years, Emperor Yao defeated Cao and Wei. "Lu Chunqiu Zhao Lei" also said: Yu attacked Cao, Wei, and had a great potential, so as to teach them. In the thirty-fifth year of Shundi, the emperor came to Korea in the summer (this bamboo chronology), which are all evidence of conquering the world by force.

Yan Yu knows that the army is an important force in maintaining state rule. So after he officially proclaimed himself emperor, he handed over the power of running the army to his son Yan Qi. It was this powerful army that defeated Boyi, who was competing with him for the throne, wiped out Hu, who resisted him, and then was besieged on all sides, making the four seas submit. However, when his son Xian Taikang ascended the throne, the situation changed completely. As a martial artist, Xian paid no attention to the education of future generations. Many of his sons are playboys, with no virtue or talent. Xian Taikang is his eldest son. He was better at coquetry and willfulness since he was a child, and he had no other skill except the pursuit of pleasure.

After Taikang ascended the throne, he did not attach importance to governing the country and did not care about army building. Instead, he focused on the pursuit of pleasure, hunting all day and lingering in beauty, wine and meat. Someone went to Cambodia to persuade him to put the people of the world first and ask him to be diligent in political affairs, but Taikang turned a deaf ear to this. Coupled with the civil strife caused by the previous power struggle, all North Korean officials are very disappointed with Xia Houshi. In this way, Taikang gradually lost the hearts of the people and gave some princes who had coveted power for a long time an opportunity.

One day, Houyi, the leader of the poor ethnic group in Dongyi, took Taikang out hunting and led his troops to intercept Taikang's return. Taikang was in a panic when he saw this situation. He was too scared to go home and ran away. But where can he escape? Hou Yi was a famous archer at that time. He drew a sharp arrow, drew a big bow and shot at Taikang, ten miles away. After Taikang's death, Hou Yi easily gained the power in the DPRK and was able to command the princes.

Taikang lost his country because he ignored the people and only cared about his own enjoyment, which distorted the king's way. Sadly, after getting this position, Hou Yi made the same mistake as Taikang. Hou Yi was self-controlled and good at shooting, thinking that no one in the world was dissatisfied, so he did not impose any restrictions on his words and deeds. Like Taikang, he indulges in debauchery and never asks about politics. Later, among his cronies, there was a man named Han Zhuo, who was scheming to get rid of Hou Yi and replace him. Knowing that Hou Yi was arrogant, he waited for an opportunity to assassinate him and became king himself. Unfortunately, in this Xia dynasty, only two kings were handed over, and the power fell to people with other surnames.

Xian Taikang was thirty-five years old when he ascended the throne, and lost his country for four years (this bamboo book chronicle). History says Taikang lost his country. After losing the country, Taikang lived in the south of Luoshui. Twenty-five years later, Taikang died in the heart of a year (2 160 BC) and was buried in Taikang Mausoleum in Yang Xia (now Taikang County, Zhoukou, Henan Province). King Taikang, your respectful name is Hou Taikang, Emperor Taikang of posthumous title.
