But when you think about it, a living historical figure is portrayed so extreme and so faceless. Besides, he was also the king of a country at that time, at the center of politics and power. Will the simple love of beauty have prejudice against him? I can't help asking why Shang Zhouwang made such a choice at that time. What kind of political considerations and interest exchange are hidden behind it?
All individuals' choices are closely related to their historical environment, so we have to start with Zhou Wang and the last two generations. After the father and son of the vassal states laid an important foundation for the Zhou Dynasty, Ji Li began to build water conservancy, develop agriculture and train the army, making the Zhou Dynasty the leader of the western vassal states.
At the same time, Wang Shang Wen Ding looked at the fledgling Zhou Dynasty and began to be afraid. He arrested Ji Li on the pretext of offering a reward, tricked him into Yindu, imprisoned him and killed him.
In this context, Ji Chang inherited the status of Xibohou, but also inherited the legacy of his father and two ancestors, and continued to develop agriculture, train troops, conquer small neighboring countries, and expanded Zhou's territory by a big circle.
In addition to making great efforts in military and agriculture, he also began to recruit talented people, among whom Yao Hong, Sanyisheng and Jiang Ziya are the topics discussed today? Beauty for Ji Chang? Important people are here. Moreover, Ji Chang has also practiced the rule of virtue in its own country, becoming a moral model in the world, and its prestige has reached its peak. In addition to the love of the people, it has also been warmly supported and followed by various governors.
Let's look at Shang Zhouwang again. He has lived in the imperial family since he was a child, and he is used to being extravagant and extravagant. He also developed his own impatience. He used the elite of the Shang royal family to frequently fight against foreign countries, especially against the countries in Dongyi. In the long run, even the elite troops can't afford this kind of consumption. It can be said that the fighting capacity of the Shang army dropped sharply in those years.
However, Shang Zhouwang, who often wins, didn't notice the rising Zhou Guo. It was not until his cronies, Chong Houhu, reported to guard against Xibe Hou Jichang that he learned to cheat Jichang into prison like his grandfather Wen Ding.
When Zhou's ministers, Sanyisheng and Jiang Ziya heard the news, they quickly spent huge sums of money to buy BMW Liangju and a beautiful woman from Xin's family. According to records, I said something after meeting a beautiful woman named Xin? One beauty is enough, and there are so many treasures? It serves to show that Zhou Wang loves money and beauty.
However, considering their historical environment, they were let go because of a beautiful woman, but after he caught hold of them, he realized afterwards that Zhou's power could not be easily eliminated by him. At this time, the princes in the world were still rebellious, and he had to rely on Zhou Guo, who had strong military strength, to appease the rebellious princes in the west.
Under such consideration, Shang Zhouwang, who was already regretful, just received exquisite jewelry from Sanyisheng, so he simply went down the slope and pretended to love beauty and lust, thus releasing Ji Chang. He not only released Ji Chang, but also gave him a bow, an arrow and an axe. These two things are not just weapons, but symbols of power, indicating that Ji Chang has the power to collect taxes.
In fact, Zhou occupied two-thirds of the world at that time, and Shang Zhouwang's further indulgence also prompted Zhou Wuwang and Ji Fa to easily destroy the Shang Dynasty.
