Judgment of Dayu.

Summary

After Emperor Shun's death, Dayu mourned for three years, earning respect from officials and tribal leaders while planning for his son Qi's succession. During this time, Qi married Little Yu, strengthening ties with the Zhen Clan, who later faced scrutiny for corruption revealed by the Sanmiao Clan. Yi, managing state affairs, investigated the Zhen Clan's misconduct, leading to their punishment and removal from treasury responsibilities. Dayu, angered by the Sanmiao's lack of communication, instructed Qi to appease the Zhen Clan.

Throughout the mourning period, the government remained stable and prosperous under Yi's leadership.
