The Story of the Old Demon's Miscellaneous Tales: King Zhou Li who made the people's way to the end

King Li of Zhou

King Li of Zhou was a well-known emperor and tyrant in the history of the Zhou Dynasty.

During his reign, he was greedy for money and profit, and favored rongyi gong. His minister Rui Liangfu advised King Li of Zhou not to monopolize the wealth of the world, because this would harm the interests of the people of the world, and the people would have no way to live. At the same time, he was advised to alienate Rongyi Gong, because this Rongyi Gong was short-sighted and only knew that coveting immediate interests and desperately squeezing the people to obtain wealth would inevitably lead to the Zhou Dynasty losing the hearts of the people and eventually decaying.

But King Li of Zhou could not listen to advice at all. His obstinate behavior led to people all over the world having great opinions about him, and at this time, Zhao Gong came to advise King Li of Zhou and persuade him to correct his shortcomings. Hearing that the people had opinions about him, King Li of Zhou, instead of listening to the advice of zhao gong, took extreme measures against the people who criticized him. He sent many secret agents to the people to investigate, and whenever he found that someone criticized his mistakes, he was immediately arrested and killed. After a few years, I could no longer hear the people complaining, and King Li of Zhou was happy.

Under the brutal suppression of King Li of Zhou, the people hardly dared to speak, and the people in the capital did not greet each other when they met on the street, but only gestured with their eyes, which is the origin of "the road is eye-catching".

Under the rule of King Li of Zhou, the country declined, and the princes no longer came to worship. When King Li of Zhou was thirty-seven years old, the common people really couldn't stand his rule, and the anger that had been accumulated for a long time finally broke out, and everyone rebelled together. King Li of Zhou fled to this place in Yan (Huo County, Shanxi) and died after fourteen years in this place. After the Chinese drove out King Li of Zhou, the Zhou Dynasty entered an era of fourteen years without a son of heaven.

King Li of Zhou's disobedience to advice, greed for money and cruelty, finally led to a rebellion among the people, and he himself died in exile, all of which was self-inflicted, but unfortunately there were still many kings in the future who could not learn from it.
