Feng Menglong's King Xuan of Zhou is a superstitious emperor? What kind of person is he?

When it comes to the history of the Western Zhou Dynasty, many people will think of Ji Chang, the King of Zhou Wen, Ji Fa, the King of Zhou Wu, and the King of Zhou You, who is the prince of beacon theatre, but knows very little about the monarchs in the middle. Feng Menglong's long historical novel The first time in the Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is: King Xuan of Zhou heard rumors and killed lightly, and Du Dafu was wronged. King Xuan of Zhou is the penultimate monarch of Western Zhou, the beginning of the novel on the merits of King Xuan is only a sentence with a sentence, with a large number of words to tell the unjust case caused by a rumor, King Xuan of Zhou is known as the "Lord of Zhongxing", but from the novel we see seems to be a superstitious Emperor, so what kind of person is the real King Xuan of Zhou?

King Xuan of Zhou was called Ji Jing, originally a prince, waiting for the succession is sooner or later, but his father does not let people worry, bad temper and still can't move to engage in patents, so on an extraordinary day the chinese rebelled, the father slipped away with a cigarette, the palace was in chaos, Prince Ji Jing had no choice but to run out of the palace by herself and hide in the house of the summoning father. The people of the country killed the red eye, but never found the King of Zhou Li, at this time someone shouted: I saw the prince running into the house of the summoning prince. As a result, the angry crowd began to flock to the door of the summoning house...

Summoning gong had some prestige on weekdays, the crowd surrounded the courtyard wall and did not rush in, but just kept shouting: Hand over the son of the emperor! In the face of the aggressive situation, Zhao Gong had no room or reason to defend, and immediately asked the prince to take off his clothes to change his son, a meal of sticks, axes and knives, and Zhao Gong's poor son became a substitute ghost. Since then, Crown Prince Ji Jing has been hiding in the house of the summoning father.

In the blink of an eye, the republic came to fourteen years, and King Li of Zhou finally died in exile, at this time the Zhou Dynasty suffered a serious drought, so the Duke of Zhou and the Duke of Zhao took advantage of the superstitious psychology of the common people and asked the prince to succeed to the throne, otherwise the country would suffer a greater disaster. In 827 BC, the grown-up crown prince Ji Jing ascended the throne with the support of the Second Duke of Zhou Zhao, as King Xuan of Zhou.

Perhaps it was a childhood encounter, after King Xuan succeeded to the throne, he worked hard to govern, domestic contradictions eased, regained the previously lost territory and further expanded the territory, the princely states came to the court, and the surrounding ethnic minorities also restored contact, and the prestige of the Zhou Dynasty gradually improved with a new atmosphere, known in history as "Xuanwang Zhongxing". However, successive years of conquests made the Zhou Dynasty political and military very weak, coupled with the contradictions between the diehard nobles and the Zhou Dynasty, the reforms of "not relying on thousands of acres" and "feeding the people in Taiyuan" were no longer helpful, and by the end of King Xuan's life, foreign wars were repeatedly defeated, so that the division of the Southern Kingdom was lost, and when he reached his son Youwang, he perished under the multiple blows of natural disasters, man-made disasters and foreign invasions.
