Western Zhou 12 The Fall of the Secret Kingdom: The Duke of Mikang does not listen to his mother's advice and robs the woman with the boss King Gong of Zhou

King Mu of Zhou reigned for fifty-five years, and after his death, his son Ji Shu (姬繄扈) (or Yi Hu) succeeded to the throne, which was King Gong of Zhou. After King Gong succeeded to the throne, because his grandfather King Zhao and father King Mu spent a lot of financial and material resources on foreign conquests, he changed national policies, developed production, and lived with the people, which was called "Chinese": "King Gong of Zhou can shelter Zhao and Mu Zhique and become 'Gong'".

The State of Mi, a small state of the Zhou Dynasty with the surname Ji, near the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, Zong Zhou, was originally in the area of present-day Lingtai County, Gansu Province, and was re-divided into the State of Ji in its old land after King Wen of Zhou destroyed the descendants of the Yellow Emperor in the late Shang Dynasty.

In the "Records of History", "Chinese" and other books, the destruction of the secret state is recorded: it is said that in the fourth year of King Gong of Zhou (refer to the "Bamboo Book of This Book"), King Gong went to jingshui to play, and Mi Kanggong accompanied him.

On the way to the game, three beautiful women came to join Mikanggong, and Mikanggong's mother advised him: "You must sacrifice them to the Son of Heaven, three or more beasts should be called herds, more than three people should be called crowds, and more than three women should be called Cantonese." Tianzi hunting does not capture more than three beasts, princes do not travel because they see more than three people get off the bus, and Tianzi's concubines belong to the same clan cannot exceed three people. The so-called cantonese is a beautiful thing, and everyone gives you beautiful things, but what virtue do you have to enjoy these things? Even the Son of Heaven said it was difficult to enjoy, let alone a little person like you! If a small person has a beautiful treasure that does not conform to his own virtuous status, he will eventually perish."

Duke Mi Kang was reluctant to heed his mother's advice to offer three beautiful women to King Gong, and a year later, King Gong of Zhou sent troops to destroy the kingdom.

Mikon was killed

Because mikang's mother can understand the world's affairs and has the ability to persuade her son, later generations often call her sage, and the "Biography of Renzhi" praises: "The mother of Mikang, the first knowledge of prosperity and decline, not the thorn Kang gong, the public line is under the crowd, the goods are full of damage, the offerings do not listen, and the secret fruit is destroyed."

From the perspective of the neighboring capitals of the secret fiefdom, the relationship between the king of the secret state and the Zhou Dynasty Tianzi is still relatively close; during the trip, three beautiful women came to trust, and did not choose the higher status of the Zhou Tianzi, but chose the Mikang Gong, this matter is a certain strange, or someone framed the Mikang Gong, or the Zhou Gong King, may also be other unknown reasons.
