Rambling on King Wen of Zhou

When it comes to the Zhou Dynasty, there are more stories, whether it is "Spring and Autumn" and "Three Biographies", "Warring States Policy" or "Historical Records", the content is much richer, not like the Xia Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty, the material is too little to examine.

Speaking of King Wen of Zhou, he was really the chosen one. His grandfather Gu Father Qi was optimistic about King Wen of Zhou, so King Wen of Zhou's great uncle Tai Uncle and Second Uncle Yu Zhong directly abdicated and gave up the position of family patriarch to King Wen of Zhou's father Ji Li. Then Taibo and Yu Zhong went to the barbarian lands in the south and founded the later State of Wu. Yes, it is the State of Wu that Wu Yue fought for hegemony, and the founding monarch was Taibo, so the State of Wu and the Zhou Dynasty were countries with the same surname. Wu Guo could not be regarded as a barbarian in terms of bloodline. From this point of view, in the early days of the Zhou royal family, the harmony and education of the royal family were simply successful and enviable!

After King Wen of Zhou ascended the throne, he did not live up to the expectations of his father and grandfather for two generations, so that many sages went to defect. As a result, the suspicion of the King of Shangsu was aroused, and He directly imprisoned King Wen of Zhou in Qiangli. Who knew that King Wen of Zhou was really powerful, and it was not a waste of time to be imprisoned, and he made up the gossip of the day after tomorrow, adding the easy-to-learn heaven and earth system to the content of the human world. King Wen of Zhou's attainment of ancient yixue was very high. It can be seen that the Zhou royal family is indeed a scholar family in the nobility, and can cultivate a king like King Wen of Zhou, so the family science of the Zhou royal family can be said to be the top existence at that time. The real co-lord of the world, King Shang, obviously did not understand Yi Xue as well as King Wen of Zhou, and it was no wonder that he was jealous and jealous of King Wen of Zhou.

Fortunately, king Shang had weaknesses, and King Wu of Zhou and his ministers bribed king Shang's favored subjects and concubines with money and treasures, and finally rescued King Wen of Zhou. The King of Shang was also interesting, and let king Wen of Zhou go without saying anything, and gave him the power to conquer.

King Wen of Zhou was also not polite, and directly conquered several countries related to the Shang Dynasty. Reached a state where there are two out of three in the world.

The most important thing is that King Wen of Zhou found the super think tank Jiang Ziya, and under the plot of Jiang Ziya, the Shang Dynasty was infiltrated into a sieve. It created the foundation for the later Zhou Wu King to destroy the Shang.

To sum up, King Wen of Zhou has a very big heart, attaches great importance to talents, is very benevolent and personal, and is very attractive to talents. As a master of easy learning, it is only natural that the agricultural development of the Zhou royal fiefdom is good. In ancient times, agriculture was the foundation of all undertakings, and Yixue was the foundation of agricultural undertakings, from this point of view, King Wen of Zhou could not be under the heavens, and Heaven would not tolerate it!
