The demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty was due to the long-term contradiction, playing vassals with bonfires, loving, hating, praising and so on. Just one of the reasons.

First of all, the warlords in the bonfire party made the princes lose their trust in Zhou Youwang.

After being praised as a beauty, Zhou Youwang indulged in gentle villages all day, but as a cold beauty, she seldom smiled when she entered the palace. In order to win a beautiful woman's smile, Zhou Youwang made people think of various ways. At this time, someone suggested to Zhou Youwang that he could try it with a bonfire.

After listening to this man's advice, Zhou Youwang lit up the beacon tower as a signal of war. At this time, there were signs of smoke everywhere in the beacon tower. When the princes saw it, they thought there was a war and came here one after another. As a result, they saw them drinking and having fun on the beacon towers of Zhou Youwang and Cong Temple. Praise si see governors have come and gone, smiled. Zhou Youwang saw that this method was effective, so celebrities lit bonfires many times. After many times, the kings no longer believed in the bonfire in Zhou Youwang, so they didn't come. People don't believe the frequent cries of wolves. Zhou Youwang's behavior led to a real war later, and the vassal states didn't come to save him.

Second, conniving and praising the abolition of the queen and the prince led to war.

At that time, Zhou Youwang liked praise very much, so he wanted to praise the queen and her son, the prince. The queen at that time was the daughter of Shen Hou, so after Zhou Youwang abolished the queen, Shen Hou joined forces with Gou Guo and Quan Rong to attack Zhou Youwang.

Zhou Youwang saw someone attacking him, so he quickly sent someone to set a bonfire on the beacon tower and asked the vassal states for help. But at this time, the governors thought that Zhou Youwang was teasing them again, so after seeing the bonfire, they didn't lead the troops to save them. Therefore, Zhou Youwang was defeated, and then he was killed at the foot of Lishan Mountain. Dog Rong also took this opportunity to steal a lot of gold, silver and jewels from the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the Western Zhou Dynasty perished.
