The TV series "Fengshen Yanyi" is not unfamiliar to everyone, right? After watching this drama, we all know that I believe that everyone is impressed by the story link: King Wu led the soldiers to overthrow the leader of the Shang Dynasty!
In the "Fengshen Yanyi", we can all understand that the King of Gong is a dimwitted king who is incompetent, lazy, employs people without a way, indulges in female sex, labors the people and hurts the wealth, the people do not talk about life, etc... But at that time, as the king of a country, was he really only faint and had no way to talk about? As for this question, I will not talk about it today! First of all, let's first understand from several aspects the King of Shang, the real name of the King of Shang, Emperor Xin, was an emperor who ruled the Shang Dynasty, and there were various theories during his reign, whether he also had some achievements is still a mystery! So how did this title of King Gong come about? In fact, it is people's denigration and evaluation of him! Because we all know the word "纣", it is a derogatory word, meaning to damage the good! Historically, there have also been many people who commented that King Gong was an incompetent emperor who spent all day drinking and living a decadent and extravagant life. In addition, some people also commented that the King of Lu used people without a way, oppressed the people, and used extremely cruel means, even his own ancestors were contemptuous! It is because of this that more and more people are slowly disappointed in king Huan, and king Huan has slowly lost the hearts of the people because of his various behaviors! In a battle of Makino, due to the loss of people's hearts, the soldiers turned against each other, and the King of Lu completely defeated the King of Wu, and later the King of Lu was buried in the sea of fire! As for the king's statement, even if there are many opinions, it is difficult to escape depreciation! Although there are explanations in both historical and literary works, although the statements are inconsistent, the meaning of their statements is mostly the same.
Throughout the ages, even though the Shang Dynasty has passed, many people have doubted the description of the Shang King's fainting and cruelty. However, Confucius's disciple Zigong had questioned some of these descriptions, and he felt that this evaluation of the King of Gong was a malicious slander against the King of Gong! Because among the kings of ancient times, this phenomenon of estimating slander, slander, and planting stolen goods was normalized, and the king of Lu was also one of the victims, but compared with other kings, the degree of slander of the king was more serious. In addition, modern historians have discovered through observation that the various crimes of King Huan in history have become more and more serious with the passage of history and rumors, and the accounts have been uneven. Therefore, the description of the fainting and cruelness of the Shang King cannot be fully believed. At this point, our historical records also record Sima Qian's evaluation of the King of Shang, and he commented on the King of Shang in this way: "Discerning diseases, hearing very sensitively, having superior material strength, having a fierce hand, knowing enough to refuse advice, and saying enough to decorate wrong." From this evaluation, we can know that the King of Shangyi is an emperor who is both literate and martial, and at the same time a person with intelligent qualifications, courage and strategy, and a pair of wise eyes and talents, and he is not like those who are "faint and cruel" historical rumors!
Speaking of this, we have to talk about Su Daji as a person, and I believe that everyone has a doubt in their hearts like mine: What is this Daji? In historical rumors, Su Daji was the root of the scourge of the Shang King's fainting and brutality, but it is recorded in the Chinese "Jin Language" that Su Daji was just a plaything that the Su tribe paid tribute to the Shang Dynasty after the defeat of the war. In that year, the Su tribe was attacked by the King of Shang, and the fighting power of the Su tribe could not resist the attack of the army, and the tribal leader chose to surrender and pay tribute to the Shang Dynasty with cattle, sheep, horses, and female Su Daji. In this regard, Su Daji is just a female color of the Su tribe who paid tribute to the Shang Dynasty! Therefore, if dai ji is the culprit who caused the demise of the Shang Dynasty, it must be too much to overestimate the strength of this daji. Regarding the merits of the Shang Dynasty King, we still have many different views! As for whether his disposition is a good emperor, we need more examination...
