In order to please Mei xi and the king of Jie, he built a palace, built a Yaotai, drank and feasted all day long, ignored political affairs, and was eventually destroyed by Shang Tang. This is the origin of the allusion of "falling into the city". Mei Xi, along with later Dai Ji, Bao Ji, and Li Ji, was known as the Four Great Demons of Ancient China.

Wine pond meat forest, absurd

The Shi clan was a small country in the East, weak and weak, but at first it refused to submit to the Xia Dynasty and pay tribute. Xia Jie was very angry, so he immediately sent heavy troops to attack. At that time, the Xia Dynasty was powerful, and the Shi clan knew that things were not good, and immediately expressed their willingness to pay tribute to Chenna. Annoyed, Xia Jie refused to give up and must be washed with Shi Shi in blood. Shi Shi heard that Xia Jie was a lustful tyrant, and at this time there was a beautiful girl in the tribe, So he offered her sister Xi to Xia Jie to save the tribe and calm down The Gange. Mei Xi lived up to the expectations of the clan, and Xia Jie saw Mei Xi's beauty and was immediately attracted to her, so he gave up attacking youshi. Mei Xi not only used Mei Se to calm Xia Jie's anger and make him resign, but also soon became Xia Jie's favorite concubine, fascination him. Since then, Xia Jie has been addicted to his sister Xi all day long and abandoned the government.

It is said that Mei Makoto has a habit of laughing at people drinking in a wine pool that is large enough to row a boat; the other is laughing at the sound of tearing silk veils; the third is that she likes to wear men's imperial hats. The sister disliked the old palace of Wang Du and was sullen all day. In order to please the beauties, Xia Jie built a large and gorgeous palace for Meixi, from a distance, the palace seems to be sent into the clouds, the palace is as high as if it is going to fall, therefore, this palace is called the dumping palace, the palace has qiong room Yaotai, ivory inlaid corridors, white jade carved beds. The set is incomparable. The two spent their days here drinking and feasting, ignoring political affairs.

Xia Jie also ordered that meat be hung on the trees in the courtyard, called the meat forest, and a pool large enough to row a boat was dug in the courtyard, and the pool was filled with fine wine, called the wine pond. Every time he and his sister Xi Ascended to the Palace, he ordered the three thousand palace ladies to perform a dance performance together. When the palace ladies were tired of dancing, they asked the officials and women to go to the meat forest to pick meat to fill their hunger, and if they were thirsty, they would lie down in the pool and drink it to quench their thirst. There are also rumors that Xia Jie "invited" three thousand drinking masters to drink in the pool to the sound of drumming, and as a result, some of them drowned due to drunkenness.

Mei Xi liked to listen to the "sound of cracking" and said, "The sound of cracking is extremely crisp and very pleasant." Xia Jie ordered someone to tear the veil apart and let Bo Mei rejoice. Therefore, Xia Jie asked the local people to pay tribute to a hundred horses every day, and tear them apart one by one in front of her, in order to win the favor of her sister.

The red face was a disaster, and the Xia Dynasty perished

Xia Jie built a lot of civil engineering for the sake of his sister's joy, labored and hurt the people's wealth, and was tyrannical, and the people were already very resentful. Some people pointed at the sun and scolded, "When will your abominable sun be finished, I am really willing to perish with you." At this time, Minister Guan Longqi advised Xia Jie several times, but Xia Jie just did not listen, and finally Guan Longqi said: "The Son of Heaven should be humble and pay attention to faith, be frugal, and protect the talents, so that the world can be stable and the country can be stable. Xia Jie listened, was very angry, and said a very famous sentence in history: "There is a sun in the sky, just like I have people, will the sun perish?" When the sun dies, I perish. So Xia Jie not only did not follow Guan Longqi's advice, but also killed him.

From then on, Xia Jie completely ignored political affairs, and all military and political powers were handed over to Zhao Liang. Xia Jie's absurdity caused strong dissatisfaction among the people, and later the Shang Tang rebelled, and the Xia Dynasty finally fell. Xia Jie crossed the river with his sister Xi in a boat and fled to Nanchao (南巢, in modern Shou County, Anhui Province), where he died on the way.
