He is also a loyal student of history.

The third emperor of Shun, Yao, Zhong Hua, Yu and Yu Dynasties was known as Yu Shun in history. According to legend, due to the recommendation of the four mountains, Yao named him Regent. He traveled everywhere except guns, palaces, dog fights and Sanmiao. After Yao's death, he succeeded to the throne, consulted Siyue, chose virtuous people to govern the people, and chose Yu, who had rendered meritorious service in water control, as his successor. However, according to historical records, Shun was a "Jizhou native", and Zhang Shoujie in the Tang Dynasty specifically pointed out: "Hedong County belongs to Jizhou." Shun seems to be from Hedong county. Hedong County in Zhou Pu in the Tang Dynasty is now Yongji County in Shaanxi Province, which is now Zhou Pu Town. Mencius believed that Shun was a native of Dongyi. Mencius: Shun was born in Xia and died in Mingtiao, a native of Dongyi.
