Speaking of the Zhou Dynasty, I believe everyone should be very familiar with it! This early dynasty, which lasted for hundreds of years in Chinese history, has left us countless legends, many of which are still widely respected and worshipped by everyone. And today, Xiaobian wants to introduce to you a Zhou Tianzi who is incomparably "nested" - King Zhou Zhao. Although he was not as faint as King Zhou You, he was subjected to the cold eyes and contempt of the people of the time. Why is that? Next, let's analyze it for everyone!
"King Shen Liang li for six years, collapse, Zi Zhao Wang Yan Li." Wang Zhao divided the Eastern and Western Zhou Dynasties. Wang Zhao migrated to the Western Zhou Dynasty. According to the records of this historical record, this week's King Zhao was really not born at the right time. Only when the Zhou Dynasty was surviving was it able to inherit the throne of the Son of Heaven. At this time, the situation of the Zhou Dynasty can be described as very dangerous, and the originally great land of Wang Qi was constantly eroded due to the several sub-fiefs of the previous Tianzi. Even the originally unified government was split, forming an embarrassing situation of "east and west partitions".
At the same time as the internal troubles, the external troubles of the Zhou Dynasty were also continuous. Since King Ping of Zhou moved east, the prestige of the Zhou royal family has plummeted. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes of the world were basically in a state of "listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement", but the princely states at that time were still quite cautious, and most of them would use the banner of "Zun Wang Zhiyi" every time they dominated, and the Zhou Tianzi at that time was still a little thin in the eyes of the princes. But in the Warring States period, the situation was very different.
At this time, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States had already torn their faces with the Zhou Royal Family, but due to the weakening of the royal family's strength, Zhou Tianzi, who was sitting high in the court, did not have a good solution, so he had to obediently crawl at the feet of the "Seven Heroes" and shiver. Other small princely states saw that the royal family had declined to such a point, and they did not pay attention to Zhou Tianzi, and even went to Tianzi from time to time to "fight the autumn wind". Under such internal and external troubles, King Zhao of Zhou naturally had no prestige to speak of, and he thus became the most saccharine son in the history of the Zhou Dynasty.
According to the Zizhi Tongjian, King Zhao of Zhou originally lived in the Duchy of Eastern Zhou, but the King of Qin Wu at that time already had the heart of "winning the top". So he sent his right-hand man, Li Liyi, to lead soldiers and horses to Eastern Zhou to test Tianzi's reaction. What he did not expect was that The disease was severely rejected by the King of Zhou Zhao, which really made the Qin state lose face. Kirito thought to himself: You have humiliated me, and I can't make you feel better. Therefore, in a fit of rage, he drove the King of Zhou out of Eastern Zhou, and the King of Zhou had to lead the royal family to Take refuge in Western Zhou. At this time, Zhou Tianzi, under the play of the princes, was like a dog that had lost his family, and his face was lost.
And another thing of the King of Zhou Zhao that was "written in a big book" by historians, I believe everyone should have heard about it. After the Battle of Changping, the qin state was already unstoppable. Seeing that the powerful Qin state was about to attack him, King Zhao of Zhou certainly could not sit still. But at this time, he had already fallen to the extreme, and he had no money and no soldiers in his hands, so what would he do to compete with the Qin State? Forced to do so, King Zhou Had to come up with a way that was not a solution—to borrow money from the rich families in the city. In fact, King Zhao of Zhou's ideals were very full, and he delusionally dreamed of using the spoils of war to repay these debts after defeating the Qin army. However, after all, the reality is very bone-chilling, how can the hastily put together army be the opponent of the Qin State Tiger and Wolf Division? After the defeat, the creditors forced the King of Zhou zhao to repay the debt every day, and in desperation, he had to hide on a high platform behind the palace to avoid debts. The idiom of "high debt" that is often said now comes from this.
King Qin Zhao, enraged, sent his general to attack Western Zhou. The Western Zhou Dynasty emperor rushed to Qin, and the head of the auditor suffered the sin, and gave thirty-six of his yi and thirty thousand mouths. Qin was sacrificed to him and to his king and Zhou. The King of Zhou died, and the people of Zhou died in the east. Not long after this incident, King Zhao of Zhou died, and the Royal Family of Great Zhou was completely annihilated in the tide of history. In fact, the tragic experience of King Zhou Zhao was also born because of the situation of the times, so he spent his life in such a nest, and king Zhou Zhao had to blame himself for not being born at the right time. For the King of Zhou Zhao, I don't know what different opinions everyone has? Feel free to leave your opinion in the comments section!
