After King Wu of Zhou ascended the throne, he continued to use Jiang Ziya as the minister of state, with his brothers Zhou Gongdan and Zhao Gongyi as assistants, to further rectify internal affairs, strengthen military strength, and the national strength became stronger and stronger. Ji Fa was a prince of the Mengjin (Mengjin) Assembly.

The King of Shang continued to wage wars against Southeast Yi, which had left the Shang Dynasty impoverished the country and the people. King Wu of Zhou, seeing that the time had come, united his tribes and invaded Chaoge after Makino's defeat of the Shang army.

The Zhou Dynasty was established, with the capital at Hojing (present-day southwest of Xi'an, Shaanxi). King Wu of Zhou posthumously honored his father as King Wen and divided the princes.
