Introduction: As the last monarch of the Xia Dynasty, Xia Jie was originally a man of both culture and martial arts, a table of talents. Unfortunately, he only knew how to covet pleasure, had no intention of asking about political affairs, indulged in the wine pond meat forest all day long, fainted for the king, cruelly and desolately, and finally led to the demise of the Xia Dynasty.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >01 robbed beautiful women and did not hesitate to start a war</h1>
The Great Xia Dynasty passed through Shaokang Zhongxing, and the national strength can be described as thriving. Inside there are four major granaries of the Yihe Plain, luohe plain, Ruhe plain, and Qinyang plain as pillars, and outside there are tributes from all the nations of the world, and after dozens of generations of hard work, they have accumulated huge wealth in the late Xia Dynasty. It is said that the economic base determines the superstructure, and it is precisely because of the countless material wealth that the conditions have been created for Xia Jie's arbitrary splurge.
Xia Jieqi is a man with a large body, more than eight feet, a table of talents, and infinite strength. According to legend, he dared to fight the tiger bear with his bare hands and jumped into the water and dared to slay the dragon. Such a Hercules who can defeat the dragon and the tiger, his hobbies are different from his father's, his father likes to hunt, and he likes wine.
He not only scavenged for beautiful women in his own territory, but also robbed them from other tribes. Whoever he likes, he will not hesitate to launch a war and rob him without offering it to him. Initially, the Shi tribe was overwhelmed by xia jie's oppression and prepared to conquer xia jie. In a fit of rage, Xia Jie sent troops to surrender the Shi clan and forced the Shi leader to marry his wife Yu Xi to him.
Only because of this joy and national appearance, Xia Jie vowed to get it. When he got Yu Xi, he became more and more absurd, and he held Yu Xi in his arms all day long, drank together, and had fun all day, and the matter of the early dynasty had long been thrown out of the cloud of nine clouds. Xia Jie's absurdity and cruelty caused the people to complain and the princes rebelled from time to time.
Xia Jie was dismissive of this, and in order to show off his power, he ordered the princes to form an alliance in the youzhi clan state (present-day southeast of Jining, Shandong). As the largest vassal state in the eastern part of the Xia Dynasty, the Miao clan has always been dissatisfied with xia jie's brutal rule. His monarch returned to the country in the middle of the alliance meeting, which annoyed Xia Jie, so he recruited a large number of attackers and defeated him. The monarch of the Miao clan was forced to sacrifice two beautiful women, Huan and Yan, to make peace. Xia Huana's second daughter, and abandoned his wife and sister Xi in the Luoshui area, Yu Xi was snubbed, so she became resentful, so she secretly communicated with Yi Yin and leaked the secrets of the Xia Dynasty. Xia Jie only cared about the beautiful women in front of him and forgot his former lover, and Yi Yin, a famous minister of the Shang Kingdom, took the opportunity to befriend them and alienate the two empresses, laying the seeds for the later demise of Xia.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >02 No Way Xia Jie
</h1>
In the late Xia Dynasty, due to the internal affairs of several emperors, external troubles continued, and the national strength was weakening day by day, by the time of Xia Jie (陳癸), it was already full of dangers. But Xia Jie did not think about reform, and was arrogant and arrogant. According to the Bamboo Book Chronicle, he "built a palace, decorated Yaotai, made a Qiong Room, and established a jade gate". He also searched for beautiful women from all over the world, hid in the harem, and drank and enjoyed himself day and night with his sisters and palace girls.
In order to satisfy his desire for alcohol, Xia Jie built a wine pool in the palace where he could swing the boat. It is said that the wine pond is built very large, can sail ships, drunk and drowning things often happen, absurd and nonsense, often make everyone cry and laugh. He drank heavily on the boat, and both men and women in the palace had to drink with him. Seeing that everyone was drunk and not human-like, he laughed. Once Xia Jie was drunk, the people around him were unlucky, and Xia Jie used them as horses to ride. Xia Jie rode on the back of the person, and the person who was ridden was crushed and could not climb, so Xia Jie changed another one until he lay on the bed and rested, and the people around him were relieved of their burden.
Xia Jie especially loved beautiful women, which were the first tribute given to him by various countries. When he heard that there were beautiful women in any country, he ordered them to be delivered, and if he did not obey, he sent troops to requisition. He built Yaotai for beautiful women, which contained thousands of beautiful women, and piles of gold and silver treasures. There is a Shi tribe in the east, forced to send a beautiful girl Xi. As soon as mei xi entered the Yaotai, thousands of beautiful women suddenly lost their color. In order to please her sister, Xia Jie specially built the Long Night Palace, and the two of them entertained day and night inside. My sister loved to hear the sound of silk tearing, and Xia Jie ordered everyone to tear it for her, and as the days went on, the shredded silk piled up like a mountain. At that time, the silk veil was very precious and rare, and in order to win the laughter of the beauty, it was really a cruel thing.
Many of Xia Jie's squandered wealth came from the Four Tribes. The tribute collected by Xia Jie was not customized, and he had to send anything he wanted, so it aroused the dissatisfaction of the Minshan clan, and the Minshan clan stopped paying tribute to him. Xia Jie was furious and xingshi consulted, and the Minshan clan had to sacrifice treasures and beautiful women in order to avoid the disaster of extinction. Among the beautiful women, there are two who have the appearance of falling into the city, one is called Huan, the other is called Yan, with a light posture, a sound like a bird, and a walk like a fairy. When Xia Jie saw it, his heart was full of flowers, and he returned to the search, day and night blessed the earth, and his sister Xi was also forgotten outside the Cloud nine, and political affairs were naturally not worth mentioning.
The people's lives are very difficult, their annual harvest is rare to feed and clothing, let alone food for the year, and every natural disaster they are separated. No wonder the subjects of the Xia Dynasty pointed at the sun and cursed Xia Jie, saying, "Time and day are lost, and Yu and Ru are dead." This means that when will you perish, I would rather die with you. At the same time, the princes of the four sides also had many betrayal intentions, and the Xia Dynasty was facing a situation of internal and external difficulties, but Xia Jie did not care.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >03 invented cannon torture
At that time, life in Xia Jie's palace was extremely luxurious, and he ordered people to build nine star-studded golden pillars in the palace, each of which was gorgeous, which almost squeezed the hard work of the toiling masses. Next to the pillars, there are mountains of large meat piles up everywhere, and the wine pond is five square kilometers large, which can be rowed or carried by beautiful people, which costs a lot of wine, and the wine is made of grain, and the profligacy can be imagined. Entering the summer palace is like entering the wine pond meat forest.
And Xia Jie's happiest time was when a banquet was held in the palace, when the courtiers were feasting. The vast court can accommodate more than 3,000 people to play at the same time. Xia Jie ordered the civil and military officials and the people participating in the banquet to drink in the wine pool with their necks outstretched, and under the music of the drum band, three thousand people drank together, and the scene was so spectacular. However, under the grandeur, there is a hidden killing machine.
When he played hi, he came up with many cruel tortures in his confusion, among which the torture of "cannon branding" is still chilling. This punishment is quite inhumane, even perverted. He had people apply thick anointing oil on top of the copper pillars, and under the copper pillars burned a strong charcoal fire, and then asked the guards to take the criminals to the main hall. The convict was ordered to walk on the copper pillar, which was very difficult to walk because of the anointing. And when he accidentally fell into the exuberant charcoal fire, Xia Jie smiled brightly when he watched the criminals fall into the charcoal fire and make a miserable cry.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >04 does not listen to advice, and acts in the opposite way, resulting in the destruction of the country due to anger and resentment</h1>
In the last years of the Xia Dynasty, social contradictions became increasingly acute, and in addition to Xia Jie's absurdity, he scavenge the people's cream on a large scale, causing the masses to complain and complain. In the stormy great summer country, when the danger was like a tired egg, there were always loyal ministers who recommended the shortcomings of the times, but he did not listen.
Among them was a courtier named Guan Longfeng, who risked his life and directly advised Xia Jie that he should put the affairs of the state first and should not be so degenerate. Xia Jie was very angry after hearing this, and he said to Guan Longfeng, "I am like the sun in the sky, will the sun die?" It only takes the sun to die and I to die. Naively, Xia Jie thought that Xia Dynasty was forever solid in his hands, but unfortunately he was wrong.
Not only did he not listen to the advice of the loyal and righteous, but he was still the same, and guan Longfeng was tortured by his cannon fire in anger; Tang, the leader of the Eastern Shang tribe, advised him to curb his bad deeds, and he was also imprisoned in the prison, Xiatai. Since then, the ministers of the DPRK and the CPC have not been accustomed to Xia Jie's behavior, but they dare to be angry and dare not speak out, and whoever provokes Xia Jie to be unhappy will be executed by Xia Jie. Such a person who does not know right from wrong will inevitably have scattered people's hearts and will not be far from the destruction of the country. After that, Xia Jie recruited tribal leaders to conquer other tribes, and the order was no longer easy to use, which provided an opportunity for Shang Tang to destroy Xia.
In order to rescue Shang Tang, the Shang tribe had to use beautiful women and bribe Xia Jie. Shang Tang was released and returned to the tribe, determined to overthrow the Xia Dynasty. He reused Yi Yin, who had both ability and political integrity, as his teacher, Zhongyu as a key minister, and Yi Yin and Zhongyu to secretly form an anti-Xia alliance zhu Rongshi, and raised an army to jointly attack Xia. The Shang army and Zhu Rongli should cooperate with each other and conquer XiaDu. Xia Jie and the beautiful woman fled along the Yinghe River to the southeast, and died in the South Nest on the way.
After the xia dynasty was destroyed, Shang Tang established shang capital in the place of Hao (present-day Yanshi City), the former capital of his ancestor emperor on the east side of Xiadu, and began the rule of shang, the second slave dynasty in Chinese history.
Conclusion: The fall of the kingdom of Xia Jie is not providence, but man-made. Politically, he acted perversely, was close to a villain, a distant gentleman, was self-absorbed, and listened to rumors; the internal contradictions and fierce struggles within the ruling clique were fierce, and he did not ask about political affairs, resulting in the upright and honest people in the DPRK being either killed or leaving him; and whether the people were arrogant and violent, indulgent, and tyrannical, how could they not die?
