After Zhou Youwang became the Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty, he played a wan ku style without psychology and politics, eating, drinking and playing all day, and was in cahoots with the treacherous court official Guo Shifu. Some praised countries did not give in to Zhou Youwang. In 77 BC1year, Zhou Youwang sent troops to attack Jiaotoe country. Praise the peaceful country, I heard that Zhou Youwang likes beautiful women, so I bought a beautiful woman from the people and gave it to Zhou Youwang. This beautiful woman is a generation of beautiful women, and the country is very beautiful. Zhou Youwang was stunned at first sight, and the emperor, from then on, gave up his early hearing because he was drunk on her knee. Spoiled. However, compliments are of course very sad and unhappy, because he left his hometown and was forcibly bought, so he didn't smile and looked sad every day. Zhou Youwang was anxious, so he made a fool of himself. Who can praise him with a smile and reward his daughter, which leads to the story of her smile?
Zhou Youwang tried all kinds of methods, but he still kept his heart from laughing, and his clothes became wider and thinner. Zhou Youwang was very worried and uneasy. At this time, treacherous court official Guo Shifu had a bad idea. Zhou Youwang was overjoyed and even called it a good plan. So it leads to the story of the prince in the bonfire play. It turns out that there are many beacon towers in Haojing, the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty. If an enemy invades, light the beacon tower along the way, and all the princes in the world will lead the troops to escort. In order to make a smile of praise, Zhou Youwang took the military seriously, and beat the governors for several months in a row, which made the governors in the world angry to death, and finally made the praise laugh.
The allusions of warlords in the bonfire play are just legends fabricated by later generations, which can't stand the scrutiny of historical books, but they are enough to show how Zhou Youwang played with things and was so stupid. Finally, in order to make his son Ji a prince, he abolished the eldest son Ji Bojiu, forced the queen Shen to death, and finally angered the old father-in-law Shen Hou, hooked up with the dog Rong people and captured the Haojiang River. Zhou Youwang was killed by mutinous soldiers, and beautiful women were taken away, so the Western Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by Zhou Youwang.
