Judgment of Dayu.

Summary

Dayu's health declines after the reform, leading to his abdication in favor of Grand Minister Yi, who struggles to govern under Dayu's supervision. Yi faces challenges with Qi, the Summer Minister, who disregards Yi's requests and fails to report properly. A tribute dispute arises involving the Ying tribe, which Yi attempts to resolve but is undermined by Qi and the Di Guan's unilateral actions. This incident damages Yi's reputation and authority, as Qi spreads rumors against him and the San Gong complicate his decision-making. Yi's indecisiveness during tribal conflicts leads to further criticism from both court officials and the tribes, culminating in a reprimand from Dayu.
