Feng was originally the young son of Emperor B, and at this time, the patriarchal system centered on Ji Shu had initially taken shape, that is, he was born with Yi Zheng's wife, and he was established as a prince, Feng was gifted and intelligent, his body was strong, his courage was superhuman, he could fight beasts with his bare hands, he could speak well, and he was proud of his talents. After the death of Emperor Yi, he ascended the throne as emperor.
King Shun was happy and wine-like, and built many gardens and fortified the terrace. The king loves the beautiful Daji, and he will do whatever Daji asks him to do; Gao built "Lutai", and ordered the musician Shi to make obscene strange dances such as "Dance in the Light" and "Quiet Music"; He also "used wine as a pool and hanging meat as a forest", drinking day and night for fun, ignoring imperial politics, not sacrificing ghosts and gods, and becoming a rare unenlightened king.
The king was desolate and unscrupulous, causing resentment among the people and divorce of the princes. In order to revive the majesty of his Son of Heaven, King Shun made the "method of cannon burning": hollow copper pillars were made of bronze, charcoal was burned in the middle, and the copper pillars were burned red, but anyone who dared to talk about right and wrong was tied to the copper pillar and burned to death.
The brutality and tyranny of Shun hastened the demise of the Shang Dynasty. At this time, the Zhou tribe in the west was thriving day by day.
Zhou Ben is an ancient tribe. At the end of the Xia Dynasty, this tribe was active in Shaanxi and Gansu. Later, in order to escape the invasion of nomadic tribes such as Rong and Di, the leader of the Zhou tribe, Gugong Chafu, led the Zhou people to migrate to the plains under Qishan (present-day northeast of Qishan County, Shaanxi) and settled there.
When the leader of the Zhou tribe passed to the grandson of Gu Gong's father (later known as King Wen of Zhou).
Wait, the tribe was already very powerful, which posed a great threat to the Shang Dynasty. Therefore, King Shun sent people to take King Wen of Zhou and imprison him in a place called Shuli (in the area of present-day Tangyin County, Henan). The nobles of the Zhou tribe offered many beauties, horses and treasures to King Zhou, and sent many gifts to King Shu's trusted ministers before redeeming King Wen of Zhou.
King Wen of Zhou saw that King Shun was faint and cruel and the people's hearts were lost, so he decided to attack the Shang Dynasty. However, he lacked a man with military talent to help him lead the war. He began to look for such talents.
One day, King Wen of Zhou took his son and soldiers to the north shore of Weishui to hunt. On the edge of Weishui, an old man sits fishing on the riverbank. The group passed, and the old man was unmoved, still quietly fishing for his fish. King Wen was surprised to see this, so he got out of the car, walked to the old man's side, and started talking to him.
After some conversation, knowing that his name was Jiang Shang and Lü Shang, "Lü" was his ancestor's fief), and he was a master who was proficient in the art of war, so King Wen of Zhou begged Jiang Shang to return to the palace with him.
Because King Wen's grandfather had hoped for someone who would help the Zhou clan prosper, and Jiang Shang was such a person, people later called him Taigongwang; In folklore, he is also known as Jiang Taigong.
After Taigongwang became an assistant to King Wen of Zhou, he developed production while training soldiers and horses. The power of the Zhou grew stronger, and within a few years, the Zhou gradually occupied most of the area under the Shang Dynasty, and more and more tribes were attached to King Wen. However, just as King Wen of Zhou was about to conquer King Zhou, he died of an illness.
Later, he used "Taigong fishing, Lu fishing, Wei fishing, Ziya hanging hook, stream fishing, Weibin fishing, fishing week, fishing Weiwei, fishing stream, big fishing without hook, straight hook fishing country, stream direct fishing, stream not encountered" and so on to write about seclusion, virtuous talents, and virtuous governance, great deeds; Expressing willingness with "Taigong fishing wishers take the bait, straight hook fish" and so on.
