Chapter 1458 King Zhou's badness is not as good as it is

Class solidification is a problem that every stable dynasty and country must face.

As long as they are wise kings and rulers, they all know the harm of class solidification.

However, there are really not many people who are truly wise and capable of changing this.

As for Di Xin, he wanted to betray his own class and break many privileges of the nobility, but unfortunately, he also failed.

At that time, Emperor Xin took back the rights of the nobility.

Therefore, the rights of nobles were threatened by Emperor Xin.

Such Emperor Xin naturally became their enemy, which also paved the way for the overthrow of the Shang Dynasty.

In addition to suppressing aristocratic forces, religious forces have also been suppressed.

In addition to suppressing these forces that hindered imperial power, Di Xin also took many measures to develop the people's livelihood economy.

Like tax cuts and interest exemptions, this is what countless reformers are doing.

At the same time, they will vigorously cultivate the armed forces and expand the army.

This is actually the reason why King Zhou's tyranny increased with time.

Winner takes all, loser for Kou.

If Zhou is victorious, he must beautify his image.

This is a common method used by rulers. According to investigations, King Zhou's tyranny, such as the abuse of criminal law, has become more and more common.

In the end, almost all the bad things were done by him.

And the things he has done to benefit the people for thousands of years have also been selectively ignored by people.

Many famous people in history have complained for Emperor Xin, King Zhou.

In ancient times, Confucius and his disciple Zi Gong once talked: "King Zhou's badness is not as good as his goodness."

In the contemporary era, some leaders of the founding of China also commented: King Shang Zhou was very capable, he was a man capable of writing and martial arts, and he was not as stupid as the evaluation of later generations. It was just imposed by the people of the Zhou Dynasty.

Moreover, it is also a fabrication that the history books say that King Zhou invented the punishment of cannon fire.

According to historical records, the punishment of cannon fire originated from Xia Dynasty and was invented by Jie, the last monarch of Xia Dynasty.

As for the matter of killing Bi, it was adapted even more bizarrely.

It's not because of the seven orifices and exquisite heart, but because of disturbing the army's heart.

At that time, King Zhou was preparing to conquer in person, but Bigan was worried about King Zhou's safety, so he ran to the tent to stop him.

He said something discouraging, so Bigan had to die.

Bigan is just like Yang Xiu, who doesn't use his brain when doing things, and is misled by his cleverness.

The description of Lutai has also changed from the beginning of Dasanli, a thousand feet high, to a thousand feet high.

This kind of exaggeration is nothing more than trying to show that King Zhou built the Lutai and expropriated the people.

Let's talk about another one, did King Zhou really obey Daji's words?

If you want to say that the biggest mistake of King Zhou is that he was possessed by the vixen Daji, and then he did a lot of bad things.

But Su Daji in history was actually the daughter of a tribe leader named Su.

Because he lost the war, he sacrificed his daughter to King Zhou in exchange for peace.

At that time, King Zhou was already old, and although he treated Daji as a favorite, he was never as obedient as the book said.

Otherwise, Daji's tribe will not always be a small tribe, without any rising trend.

Although it is confirmed by historical data, I dare not say that King Zhou Di Xin was a good emperor who was diligent in governing and caring for the people, because King Zhou really abandoned the government in his later years.

But even Tang Xuanzong, who created the prosperity of Kaiyuan, didn't ignore the government in his later years?

It can only be said that in the end it was King Wu of Zhou who took advantage of the gap.

Since King Zhou can be regarded as a good emperor, how could the Shang Dynasty perish?

At that time, Emperor Xin pacified Dongyi and consumed a lot of manpower and material resources.

War will inevitably bring certain disasters to the people and arouse public resentment.

Coupled with the emptiness of troops after the war, King Wu of Zhou took advantage of the vacancy.

He held high the banner of eliminating harm for the people, and the previous dissatisfaction of some nobles, overthrew the rule of the Shang Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Emperor Xin, the king of Zhou, was really not fatuous, he could even be regarded as a wise king.

It's just that the history books are written by the winner, who happens to be the loser.

Just like Qin Shihuang in history, Emperor Sui Yang was a tyrant who was blackened by later generations.

Of course, merits are merits and demerits that have been tried. For example, wine ponds and meat forests really exist.

Modern people are still very curious about whether the "Jiuchi Meat Forest" of King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty really existed, so there are quite a few people who study this aspect.

It's just that King Zhou is not that unbearable, but this does not wash away his special hobbies.

According to historical records, "Jiuchi Meat Forest" is real.

King Zhou of Shang "made a pool of wine and hung meat as a forest, letting men and women chase and play naked in the wine pool and meat forest, drinking for pleasure."

King Zhou himself enjoyed himself all night long in the wine pool and meat forest, so much so that he even forgot the date and time.

And King Zhou also sharpened class conflicts because of his excessive indulgence, extravagance and immorality, which aroused the resistance of civilians and slaves.

In the end, even Fangguo and the tribes began to rebel.

In the end, the ruling foundation was shaken, and the Shang Dynasty was eventually destroyed.

Although the demise of the Shang Dynasty was largely attributed to King Zhou himself, King Zhou was not as unbearable as it was spread by later generations.

On the contrary, Di Xin was still a talented, quick-acting, outstandingly capable king with the ideal of revitalizing the Shang Dynasty.

This may not match the image circulated, but judging from the unearthed oracle bone inscriptions and historical records, it is indeed a fact.

Moreover, the content recorded in oracle bone inscriptions is more and more detailed than that recorded in historical materials, which will be explained in detail later.

"Emperor Zhou, who was fond of wine and pleasure, indulged in women" - from "Historical Records·Yin Benji"

Therefore, according to historical records, Jiuchi Meat Forest does exist.

According to historical records, King Zhou was a monarch who especially liked drinking, doting on women, and indulging in debauchery.

After succeeding to the throne, King Zhou sent troops to suppress the riots of the Shi clan.

After the defeat of the Su tribe, they knew that King Zhou was lustful, so in order to please King Zhou, they sacrificed the beauty Daji to marry him, and after Daji entered the palace, he was also favored by King Zhou.

In order to indulge in pleasure, King Zhou increased taxes, stored up money and food, and began to expand the palace garden.

First, collect and capture a large number of dogs and horses, wild animals, birds, and novel playthings to fill the palace and gardens.

Afterwards, a large number of entertainers were summoned to the Ligong Annex in the sand dunes, and they started to build a "wine pool meat forest" that is convenient for fun.

"Great gatherings for music and entertainment in the sand dunes, using wine as a pool, hanging meat as a forest, making men and women chase each other naked, and drinking for a long night." ——From "Historical Records·Yin Benji"

King Zhou first asked people to dig a large pond, then filled the pond with wine as water, and ordered people to slaughter many livestock and birds.

The best meat from these animals is roasted and hung from the branches around the wine pool.

King Zhou also let men and women play naked in the wine pool meat forest, drinking and eating meat while having fun. This is the "wine pool meat forest".

From our point of view, Jiuchi Roulin is a life of debauchery, corruption and extreme luxury.

And now we often use "wine pond meat forest" to describe a life of luxury and indulgence.

But in ancient times, it was normal for the rich and powerful to live a luxurious life, let alone the monarch and emperor as the supreme ruler!
