The Mystery of Eternity: Why was King Wen of Zhou imprisoned by King Yin for seven years?

The Mystery of Eternity: King Wen of Zhou was imprisoned for seven years, and King You of Zhou broke the Western Zhou,

Because the two things are related, Lao Yan wants to talk about it here. The poem says: "Yin Jian is not far away, it is in the summer time", this is in 1042 BC, King Wen of Zhou, since the conquest of the Su clan, after the beautiful woman Daji, "good wine and lascivious pleasure, the woman,......。 Thick taxes are based on the money of Shilutai, and corruption such as the millet of yingju bridge is defeated. Therefore, King Wen of Zhou led several three dukes and marquises to advise the King of Yi in the Song of Yin Capital, "Yin Jian is not far away, it is in the summer" is the word used in the advice, the King of Yin listened, this was returned, rebelled, Long Yan was immediately furious, and in a fit of anger, the Ninth Marquis of Qi, the Marquis of Huo'e, and the Xi Bochang (King Wen) died nine times, first imprisoned by the King of Yin for a hundred days, and then under house arrest for seven years, fortunately he had a close relative political marriage relationship with the King of Huan, otherwise there was no doubt that he would die, and history would be rewritten. Later, King Wen's four friends scattered Yisheng and others, collected rare treasures and beautiful women to bribe the king, and only in 1036 BC did they escape from danger.

Tyrannical, killing Bi Gan, imprisoning Jizi, and not recognizing his six relatives, so he became a lonely man, and in the first two months of the Zhou calendar in 1009 BC, the Sijiazi Japanese soldiers defeated Muye, and then set themselves on fire and died.

The "Records of History" and other words "from the destruction of Yin by King Wu to the 256th year of King You".

Originally, in the "Kizuka Chronicle", it was "from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the King of You", rather than "from the King of Wu to destroy Yin", which was mistakenly changed by later generations. It turned out that this was another fragment of the tomb robbery, and perhaps there were missing words.

For the term "Western Zhou", the ancient and modern understandings are different, and in ancient times, Zong Zhou refers to the ancient Gong Gong's father in 1123 BC in the Qi next Zhou Yuan Li Zhou, the Western Zhou was moved from the thirty-fifth year of King Wen, three years later to Feng, and then to the Wu King Du Yan, and then to Dingluo as Chengzhou. In short, there are also Western Zhou before keshang. The "Western Zhou" after the Keshang is relative to the Eastern Zhou, but from the beginning of the Wuwang Keshang. Originally, it was 256 years old from the release of King Wen to the time king you ascended the throne. The first year of the Reign of Youwang was 781 BC, and king Wen was released in 1036 BC. 781+256=1037

This article is linked to the "780 years after the destruction of Yin" in the Book of Southern Qi, and both point to the release of King Wen. This and the death of the Youwang in western Zhou are both a major historical event in western Zhou.

King Wen was imprisoned for seven years, and King Huan released the tiger to return to the mountains, and the Western Zhou Dynasty of King Wen made a comeback, and then the King of Wu Keshang changed dynasties. However, when it reached the King of You, he lost Western Zhou and was acquired by Qin, and then became the King of Ping and moved east. Because it is a historical lesson, it has been valued by historians throughout history.

Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall, take people as a mirror, know honor and disgrace, Yin Jian is not far away, in the summer, these are all the words used by the saints of all dynasties to fight corruption. Bitter medicine is good for the disease, sweet words also kill people, the king of Lu did not listen to persuasion, ruined the 609 years of the country laid by Cheng Tang. King Xuan was arrogant and killed Du Bo,

After his death in Yujing, King You of Zhou was also corrupt, which ruined the achievements of King Xuanzhongxing and ruined Western Zhou. Both kings died unnaturally, and Western Zhou deserved to die.
