Zhou Liwang: Very good person, but unfortunately has a long mouth, can you close your mouth for me?

King Li of Zhou was the tenth king of Zhou.

King Wu of Zhou's son was King Cheng, and King Cheng's son was King Kang.

During the reign of King Cheng and King Kang, the situation was relatively stable, so the society was stable, and history called the rule of Cheng Kang.

However, in the next few generations of kings, they began to fight on a large scale, and the resources of the conquest were exploited by the people, so the people began to riot. In order to curb this phenomenon, the Zhou rulers did not stop the conquest, but formulated various criminal laws to deter the people.

By the time of King Mu of Zhou, 3,000 criminal laws had been formulated, which could be said to be only what you could not think of, and there was nothing he did not have.

When the time came for King Li of Zhou,

He aspired to be a monarch with achievements, so he began to reform, and he created a "patent", which was to take the mountains, forests, rivers and rivers into the state, in order to increase the government's revenue.

At this point, the interests of the broad masses of the people were touched, and the means to make a living were deprived, so more and more people cursed King Zhou Li.

In fact, at that time, the mountains and forests were all in the hands of the nobles, and King Zhou Cheng wanted to put his hand into the money bags of the nobles, but the nobles passed on the money to the people, and said: Look at the king's policy, so that your life is more and more difficult.

Therefore, more and more people began to complain about Li Wang.

When the minister summoned Gonghu to hear this, he said to the king: O great king, you can't do this, more and more people are cursing you, you have to be moderate, you can no longer exploit the people in disguise, otherwise it will not be good when there is chaos.

The king replied contemptuously: You don't have to worry, the widow has his own tricks!

Then the king found a wizard from Weiguo and told him that if you go to the street to listen to me, if anyone is cursing me, arrest him and punish him!

There was only one wizard, and he certainly couldn't monitor it, so he found a group of people to help him listen together, this wizard can be said to be the leader of an intelligence organization, and King Li looked for him to organize people to monitor the people of the whole country, so it can be seen that this may be the earliest "Jinyi Guard".

In order to curry favor with King Li, the shaman will arrest people on a large scale, no matter what you say, but if you open your mouth, even if you attack the government, the light ones will be punished, and the heavy ones will die.

So everyone went out and didn't say a word, and the two sides said hello with their eyes and hurried over. This man is the origin of the idiom "the way is the eye".

At this time, the wizard reported to King Li: Great King, we have successfully completed your task, and there will be no more people who wantonly attack the Great King!

King Zhou Li was very satisfied, and rewarded a large amount of treasure to the wizard, and at the same time found Zhao Gonghu and said, "You see, there are fewer and fewer people talking about me, and now there are none, this matter will be solved, you can put a hundred hearts!" ”

Zhao Gonghu replied with a sad face, "Great King! I heard that Dayu's father controlled the water, and instead of dredging the river water to the sea, he blocked the water, resulting in more and more water blocked, and eventually a terrible flood, so he was also in a different place. The people's speech is like water, you do not guide and blindly use the block, although it is blocked now, but in the future it will erupt with greater power! ”

King Zhou Li snorted coldly and said, "Pedantic, it's okay now!" The people have no memory, no matter how big things, as long as they don't bring them up, over time, everyone will forget! ”

After saying that, he threw up his hands and turned away, no longer paying attention to the summoning of the male tiger.

In three years, King Li's tyranny became more and more severe. There is no way or place for the people to complain about their bitterness.

So in 841 BC, a riot finally broke out!

Everyone rushed into the palace together, shouting that they wanted to kill King Li!

King Li was shocked and fled the capital in a hurry, but no princes along the way were willing to take him in, and he escaped all the way across the Yellow River, and when he arrived at the place of "Yan", he lived in anonymity.

The people who rushed into the palace did not find King Li, so they began to hunt down and kill Prince Jing.

Protecting Prince Jing was Zhao Gonghu, he took Prince Jing back to his home, did not expect that the mob followed all the way to his home, no way, Zhao Gonghu had to hand over his son, pretending to be the prince, one life to one life, which was able to retain the blood of the royal family.

King Li was gone, his life and death were uncertain, and even if he found it, he wouldn't dare to come back! How can this be done?

Therefore, the ministers elected the most prestigious summoning hu and Zhou Gongding, and together they came to preside over the government, which was called "Zhou Zhao Republican" in history.

The year was 841 BC and the beginning of an exactly recorded chronology.

Zhou Zhao's republic lasted for 14 years, and King Li died, so everyone made Prince Jing king, and this was King Xuan of Zhou!

Under the reign of King Xuan of Zhou, the Zhou Dynasty had a brief boom, but in his later years, King Xuan of Zhou made many mistakes and over-conquest, causing the Zhou Dynasty to decline again.
