preface

Shaokang's great cause of Zhongxing has given the Xia Dynasty a new vitality, everything looks prosperous, and the status of the Xia royal family is as stable as Mount Tai. Then, this dynasty lasted for more than four hundred years, until it passed down to the seventeenth monarch, the eldest of the dynasty.

This boss is really a legendary figure, and he is proficient in literary talents and martial arts. said that he can write, the sharpness of that writing, can be described as earth-shattering ghosts; Saying that he can martial arts, those hands straighten the iron hook, and fight the tiger and leopard with his bare hands, it is simply superhero level.

In this way, he should have been a wise king who benefited the world. Unfortunately, the boss spent all his ingenuity on enjoyment and fun, completely forgetting that he was still a monarch.

Xia Wei

When he took office, the Xia Kingdom had already begun to decay, and the people were not living. Those powerful princely states looked at the Xia royal family, and the Xia Dynasty could be described as full of crises, internal and external troubles.

But the boss is completely unenterprising, only knows enjoyment, arrogance and indulgence, which pushes the crisis of the Xia Dynasty to a deeper level.

This boss also likes to drink wine, and he wants to drink that kind of pure and free of impurities. The food is also very picky, and it has to be very particular.

In order to satisfy his appetite, the courtiers had to look around for good wine and food. While these people are busy, they also have to be careful, because the boss is tyrannical, and those who serve him will suffer if they are not careful.

Xia Wei used people as mounts

Xia Wei, this faint monarch, is close to the traitorous villain and alienated from the virtuous, which is really speechless. He has a courtier named Zhao Liang, who specializes in patting horses, seeing that Xia Wei likes pleasure, so he throws himself into his favor and tries his best to make him have more fun. This Zhao Liang was also reused by Xia Wei, which can be described as "villain Zhizhi".

Tai Shi Ling saw that Xia Wei was so absurd and extravagant, and the people were suffering, and their hearts were painful, so he entered the palace and cried and advised Xia Wei to be diligent and love the people, otherwise he would die in the country. But Xia Wei was furious when he heard this, and scolded Wangu for being nosy, really "a dog bites Lu Dongbin, and does not know the heart of a good person."

Xia Wei was also insatiable, and he was rampant against the various princely states, asking them to keep paying tribute, and if they were not satisfied, they would fight fiercely. There is a tribe called the Shi clan, which has a favorable geographical location, suitable climate, good agricultural development and rich products.

This was originally a very obedient marquis, and paid tribute to the Xia royal family every year. But Xia Wei saw that the Shi family was rich, so he wanted more tribute.

You Shi refused to give in, and Xia Wei was furious, so he summoned the leaders of other princely states to a meeting and gathered an army to fight against Youshi. This is really a "domineering president"!

There is a small strength of the Shi family, facing Xia Wei's army, trying his best to resist, but he is still outnumbered, and he is about to be destroyed. In order to take revenge in the future, Shi Guojun decided to surrender on his knees and promised to pay tribute to beautiful women and treasures.

This can be described as "leaving the green mountains behind, not afraid of no firewood". In order to let Xia Wei rest the soldiers, there are rare treasures that Shi has accumulated over the years, and selected many young and beautiful girls to pay tribute to Xia Wei together.

Xia Wei and tribute beauties for pleasure

Among the many beauties, there is a person named Mei Xi [mèi xǐ], whose beauty is outstanding, which is simply amazing. As soon as Xia Wei saw her, his heart blossomed, and he immediately decided to suspend the army and return to Xia Country with his sister to enjoy happiness.

Mei Xi said to Xia Wei that she was originally the righteous daughter of Shi Guojun, and because she admired King Xia's wisdom and martial arts, she took the initiative to ask to serve King Xia. These words made Xia Wei's heart burst into flames, and he immediately named Mei Xi as the queen, which can be described as "a hero sad beauty pass".

Hi sister

Xia Wei felt that the original palace was simply bleak compared to Mei Xi's beauty, so she decided to build a palatial palace for her again.

The palace was built high and looked at from afar, as if it was about to be dumped, hence the name "Tilting Palace". The palace is luxuriously decorated, Qionglou Yuyu, ivory corridors, white jade beds, it is simply a "luxury exhibition hall".

Originally, there was Shi Shi who sacrificed his sister Xijin to Xia Wei in order to bring down the Xia Dynasty. Now Xia Wei really loves her sister and obeys her words, lest she be unhappy.

Mei Xi tried her best to make Xia Wei waste the people's financial resources and make the people complain. This sister is happy, and there is also a quirk, she likes to listen to the sound of Ayara silk tearing, saying what "the sound of cracking is very crisp and pleasant", and every time she hears it, she will laugh and tremble.

Seeing this, Xia Wei ordered the palace people to bring the exquisite silk drapes that the people paid tribute to, and let the powerful palace maids tear them apart one by one in front of her to win her sister's favor. This is really "love beauty but not rivers and mountains"! At the beginning of the agricultural era, the weaving industry was just emerging, and the fine satin cloth was very expensive, and it was torn off in vain, which was simply violent and painful.

Xia Wei and Meixi

Every day, Xia Wei accompanies Meixi to the palace, watching the scenery and having fun, but Meixi still misses her hometown. Xia Wei learned to have Shi's house and built some new houses, which were planted with exotic flowers and plants, so that her sister could have a place to go when she was homesick.

This is really a caring "boyfriend"! Xia Wei also sent people to the people to collect 3,000 beautiful women, let them practice singing and dancing, and relieve her sister's boredom. This is really "solo happiness is not as good as everyone's happiness".

Xia Wei's luxurious life made the people miserable, and they did not know when they would be conscripted into labor, and their production and life were destroyed. But Xia Wei was not at all sympathetic to the suffering of the people, and still desperately slaughtered the people and squeezed the blood and sweat of the people.

People are in great pain, but if they dare not speak out and complain even the slightest, they will be tortured. This Xia Wei is really a "bully", making the people live in misery.

Xia Wei, a desolate and tyrannical king, made the people's lives miserable and full of complaints. Minister Guan Longfeng felt sorry for the people and advised him many times, but Xia Wei just couldn't listen to it.

Guan Longfeng once said: "The Son of Heaven loves the people and is close to the talents, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the world can enjoy long-term peace and stability." But the great king, you are now only concerned with luxury and pleasure, and the people are living in misery, and they hope that the Xia Dynasty will die soon. O Great King, if you want to maintain the status of the royal family, quickly correct your mistakes and save people's hearts. ”

People in dire straits

These words made Xia Wei angry, and he said arrogantly: "My rule is like the sun in the sky, will the sun perish?" When the sun dies, I will perish! Then he ordered Guan Longfeng to be killed.

From then on, no one dared to give advice to Xia Weijin, and those villains who were good at horse farting surrounded him, coaxing him to dizziness every day, thinking that the world was peaceful.

In fact, the people had long been unable to bear it, and when they walked on the road, they deliberately pointed to the sun and said: "O sun, when you perish, I am willing to die with you!" ”

epilogue

Xia Wei's tyranny and absurdity made the burden of the people heavy and consumed the country's strength. As a king, his actions were bound to bring great disaster to the people and to himself. The rule of the Xia Dynasty is already in jeopardy, and a great change is brewing in the world. This Xia Wei is really a master who "digs his own grave"!
