Many people in Zhou Liwang may not know it, but when it comes to the allusion that "preventing people is better than preventing Sichuan", I believe everyone is familiar with it. Zhou Liwang is a negative example of this allusion.

As mentioned above, Zhou Yiwang's cooking and killing of Qi Aigong did not save the declining national fortune of the Western Zhou Dynasty, while his son Zhou Liwang accelerated the collapse of the Western Zhou Dynasty, which made the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty lose the hearts and minds.

Inheriting Hu's throne, he earned a lot of money and created a precedent for the state-owned monopoly economy;

In order to alleviate the financial crisis, all the mountains and rivers and Lin Ze were nationalized. People have to go up the mountain to cut wood and go down the river to catch fish. They must pay fees to the royal family and get permission.

All profitable industries are nationalized by the royal family, such as copper, iron, salt, sugar, wine and other industries, and the royal family practices monopoly management.

Zhou Liwang's dictatorship launched espionage and established a magic school. The famous "East Factory", "West Factory" and "Royal Guards" were all learned from Zhou Liwang. However, the Institute of Witchcraft and Magic was established because his own administration made people miserable, which led to complaints from Chinese people. Zhou Liwang's way to quell public anger is not to ease, but to add fuel to the fire, let the Institute of Witchcraft and Magic monitor China people's words and deeds, and adopt a high-handed policy to make China people afraid to speak on the road. Even if Zhao Gong protests that "preventing Sichuan is better than preventing the people", it will not help.

In the end, Zhou Liwang's policy of "protecting the people" failed, and people's grievances merged into a monstrous "flood", which triggered the first people's riot in the history of China. Zhou Liwang was deposed as emperor, and Duke Zhou and Zhao Gong assisted Prince Ji Jing of Zhou Liwang to succeed Zhou Xuanwang. Zhou Xuanwang succeeded to the throne 14 years later, Zhou Liwang died. As you can imagine, Zhou Liwang has completely lost the popular support. Otherwise, Ming Yingzong, the black sheep of his family, will have a chance to turn over, and Zhou Liwang, the father, will have no chance to regain his son's position.
