The tortuous story of righteousness and annihilation
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Uncle Kang, the ninth son of King Wen of Zhou, was divided into Chaoge, the capital of the original Shang Dynasty, known as Weiguo.
There was a folk song in the song: "A male is killed, a male is sharp, singing and dancing becomes a sword soldier, when will you see peace?" This is about the tyranny of the usurper after the usurper of the country in the Spring and Autumn Period was deeply disgusted by the people, and the protagonist was Shi Hou and Zhou Hu, Shi Hou drummed the state to seize the throne and oppress the people, and later was dissatisfied by the people and worried that his throne was unstable.
So let Shi Hou invite Shi Jie to help govern the people, Shi Jie is an important minister of many dynasties, deeply loved by the people and valued by the monarch, so Shi Jie came up with an idea, let Zhou Hu and Shi Hou bring a heavy gift to ask the neighboring Chen Huan Gong to help say good things in front of Zhou Tianzi, let Zhou Tianzi recognize his throne, in order to serve the public, but did not expect that the two were captured as soon as they arrived in Chen State.
Later, Wei Guo sent people to put Zhou Hu to death, and was ready to lightly drop Shi Hou, but Shi Jie sent his retainers to Chen Guo to personally execute his son, and later the historian recorded that Shi Jie's killing of his son was: "righteous annihilation of relatives".
