Because the tribe is located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, geographically speaking, it is beneficial to human living and living. Hou Yi is the leader of the tribe. The tribal people have great respect for Hou Yi and are willing to obey his orders.
During the reign of Xia Qi, other tribes did not dare to resist. After Xia Qi's death, Taikang reached its peak. Taikang is a monarch who does nothing but muddle along. I am addicted to hunting all day, and I have no time and energy to manage the political affairs of the Xia Dynasty, and I have no leisure to worry about tribal affairs. Because of Taikang's inaction, Houyi constantly strengthened his strength in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. Once, Taikang went out hunting, and the more he played, the happier he became, and he forgot to go back to the palace. By the time he remembered going home, it had been more than one hundred days. Taikang stood on the south bank of Luoshui River and saw many people on the other side. Knowing that I couldn't go back, I turned back to the south bank of Luoshui. Hou Yi thought that seizing power should not be rushed, so he supported Zhong Kang, Taikang's younger brother, as emperor. During this period, Hou Yi bought people's hearts everywhere, laying a good foundation for seizing power in the future. After Zhong Kang died, Hou Yi continued to support Zhong Kang's son Xiang as the new king. Soon after, Hou Yi abolished Xiang's status as monarch and drove Xiang and his wife out of the Summer Palace and exiled them. Thus, Hou Yi became the sixth monarch of Xia Dynasty. However, Hou Yi's throne was not stable, because he was addicted to pleasure and was later killed by his confidant.
