Among Di Yi's sons, the eldest son, Weizi, was born before Di Yi was made the crown prince, and Xin was born after he became the crown prince.

Gifted, handsome, and powerful, Xin attracted all his father's affection for his brothers and added it to himself. In this way, Xin obtained the status of crown prince. After the death of Emperor Yi, Emperor Xin succeeded to the throne as the king of Zhou.

The king of the history books is brutal and lewd. In fact, when it comes to the word "brutality", it seems that it can be applied to any king of the Shang Dynasty at will, because merchants sacrificed and buried with living people. Speaking of "fornication", it does not seem to belong to the patent of the king of Zhou, because there are at least sixty women in the harem of the holy king Wuding, and the Zhou people are probably also responsible for the adulterous behavior of the king of Shang.

It turned out that the subjects of the Great Shang were required to pay tribute to the royal family as a rule. The tributes of other countries are all exotic goods such as horses, ivory, rhino horns, animal skins, etc., but only the tributes of the Zhou Kingdom are wizards and beauties.

These two men themselves are here to promote the immorality of the court, and they have indeed stirred up the royal family. Therefore, the people of insight in the dynasty believed that the Zhou people wanted the royal family to prostitute and degenerate from the day they paid tribute.

At the beginning of his succession, the king behaved fairly decently, maintaining the humility and gentleness he had during the princely period. During this period, the royal family carried out a policy of settling the people, so there were no major wars (but there were no major peaces). At this time, the real threat of the dynasty came from the east. After his ruling position was consolidated, he began to plan a war against the hostile forces in the east.

The land of the East is vast, full of tribal countries, and merchants collectively refer to the people of the East as "Yi". Except for the ghost side, there has never been a force that has become a lingering nightmare for merchants like Dongyi - they are tenacious and stubborn, skilled in tactics, quick in action, gathering to form an army, scattered to become a beast; It is not an exaggeration to compare them to the maggots of the dynasty.

The king summoned the princes of his subjects into the capital, made a bloody alliance with them, and ordered them to gather armies, provide servants, make ships, vehicles, and ordnance, levy grain and grass, and provide horses and pack animals; He also ordered a large country to send a secretary and a small country to send a monarch to conquer Dongyi with the merchant army.

The king also organized a team of concubines, musicians, and eunuchs. According to the ancient system, women were not allowed to enter the barracks, and King Xuan set a very bad precedent, and his true nature was exposed.

Humans need to live along the river, and the banks of the river are the most densely populated; Dongyi can run long distances, but he can't move the city. The armies of the dynasty's eastern crusade marched along both sides of the Yellow River, with the chariots and infantry of the Chinese princes near the banks and the cavalry and infantry of the nomads on the outside.

The grain and grass were transported by boats, and the front and rear of the transport ships were protected by boatmen; In the event of a battle, the boat division and the army can support each other. The army of the king of Xuan walked in the forefront, the merchant army waved colorful flags, drums sounded in unison, and the blowing and beating did not stop for a moment, as if it was a team to welcome relatives.

The king first sent the Xijon cavalry out to reconnoiter the enemy. If the cavalry encounters a small group of enemies or scattered civilians, they will do something to kill people and steal goods; If you encounter a large enemy, come back and move your troops.

In fact, many small nations and tribes submitted to the king when they received the news, and the king forced them to tear down the walls and surrender their weapons, and provide various military services and military supplies to the coalition forces. For city-states that refused to give in, the generals discussed whether to use the tactics of assault or siege to deal with the enemy. Once the plan was made, the king left the corresponding army on a mission and then led the rest of the army onwards.

This huge coalition army is like a bulldozer, leaving no tile in its path; The defeated enemy either surrendered or fled in all directions. The army received a lot of booty, and the merchants who accompanied the army made a lot of money. The Emperor's strategy proved to be very effective, and the crusade drove all the enemies in its path to the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

The crusade lasted three months, and the coalition forces withdrew before the onset of winter. The first battle of the Emperor was brilliant, and then he began to reveal the true colors of a generation of tyrants.

At this time, Confucianism began to take shape in the Western Zhou Dynasty. The core of Confucianism is the word "benevolence", and those who are "benevolent" love others. Benevolence is loyalty, and the heart and mouth must be the same; It is forgiveness, and you must push others with yourself; Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Under Ji Chang's vigorous advocacy, the country's folk customs have undergone a great change: from rude to civil, from liking to fighting to mutual resignation.

Jingshi has become the most desirable capital of Wenyin, the capital of prosperity, and the capital of wealth and strength. Every year, there are more missions and caravans to Jingshi than to Chaoge; Many talented celebrities such as Lu Shang, Taidian, Hongyao, and San Yisheng came to join Ji Chang.

Ji Chang took Taoguang's means of raising obscurity to the extreme. He spared no effort to serve the Shang Dynasty: praying for the prosperity of the dynasty and sacrificing for the health of the king; He searched everywhere for immortality, and offered him the most evil sorcerers and the most bewitching women.

There are not many specific records in the "Historical Records" about the absurdity of the King of Xu, but Mr. Xu Zhonglin has said enough, and I will not repeat it here. But for the following few things, I have to write it down.

The three highest-ranking ministers in the dynasty were the Nine Marquis, the Ehou, and the Xibohou (Ji Chang). When the king heard that Jiuhou had a stunning daughter, he pestered Jiuhou with a face, and finally got her into his hands.

But the woman was well educated as an aristocratic woman, and she abhorred the fornication between the king and the unscrupulous men and women of the harem. The king could not force her to join in the fornication under any circumstances, and in a fit of rage he killed her.

At this time, the shameless people around the king encouraged him to carry out the atrocities to the end. As a result, the tyrant who was so drunk that he couldn't even find his mouth gave an edict and smashed Jiuhou into pulp.

When the Marquis heard of this atrocity, he was furious and went into the place where the king was having fun, and was not afraid to fight against this murderous king. Then, on the orders of the king, he was dragged out and executed and salted into salted meat.

Ji Chang couldn't help but sigh when he heard the bad news, he was sad that his two colleagues were killed, and he worried about his future fate. This scene was fully peeped by the doctor Chonghou Hu.

Chonghou Hu was a majestic king of a country in Chongguo (present-day Songxian County, Henan), but he was a shameless informant in the court. Unable to suppress the joy and impulse peculiar to the informant, he immediately slipped over to the King of Xu, reported the incident to him, and gave a malicious explanation to Ji Chang's sigh.

The king then put a shackle on Ji Chang (just like Taiding did with Ji Li) and imprisoned him in Jinli. The whistleblower was richly rewarded for this. But even if there is no reward, the villain will actively denounce it because he is happy to see the good guys unlucky.

However, because the power of the Zhou State was too strong, and Ji Chang's reputation among the princes was too high, the king of Zhou never dared to execute him after thinking about it.

The Western princes originally obeyed the dynasty, but the brutal behavior of the king made people's hearts unstable. Some of the leaders of the nomadic tribes gathered together and said: "At the beginning of his reign he regarded us as allies, but now he regards us as slaves and enemies, because only the latter can be killed without trial."

"The Three Princes were eliminated because the state was too powerful and posed a threat to the old tyrant! The minister is still not good to die, what are we little people? But we have an alliance with the dynasty! Only slaves are forbidden to resist atrocities, and we are subordinate to the dynasty, not slaves of tyrants! In order not to be enslaved, we must go to war against the dynasty! ”

As a result, they gathered their armies and launched an attack on the dynasty and the countries that were still subject to it.
