Zhou Youwang smiled for Empress Bo, played a vassal in the bonfire, and finally lost his life?

The story of "Daughter Laughing" happened more than 2,700 years ago. At that time, there was no emperor in China, and the title of emperor was started by Qin Shihuang. Three thousand years ago, a dynasty in China was called Zhou Dynasty. The supreme leader of the Zhou Dynasty was not called the emperor, but the heavenly king. More than 2,700 years ago, in the Zhou Dynasty, there lived a heavenly king named Zhou Youwang. This Zhou Youwang doesn't care about any national affairs, only cares about eating, drinking and having fun, and sends people everywhere to find beautiful women. An old minister named Bao Jun advised the heavenly king to govern the country well and take good care of the people, and not to bring the girls of the people's families to the palace. Hearing this, Zhou Youwang was very angry and put Zaphod in prison.

Bao Jun has been in prison for three years and there is no hope of his release. Zanjia people have been trying to find a way for him. They thought, "Since the heavenly king likes beauty, we should make an idea about it." They looked for beautiful women everywhere and really found them a beautiful country girl. Zanjia bought a little girl, even Zanjia took a name Zan. Praise helps her sing and dance, trains her, dresses her up, and sends her to Kyoto and Zhou Youwang as atonement for praise.

Zhou Youwang can't tell how happy he was when he saw such a beautiful compliment. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he felt that all the beautiful women in the palace were not worthy of praise. He immediately forgave the praise and let it go. Since then, the heavenly king has accompanied this compliment day and night and regarded her as a darling. Zanes doesn't like kings. She always frowned and sighed, secretly shed tears, and never laughed after entering the palace. Zhou Youwang tried to make her laugh, but she couldn't. The Heavenly King issued a reward order: "Who can make the Empress laugh and reward a thousand pounds of gold?" We have an idiom called "Daughter Laughs", which probably comes from it.

As soon as this award came out, many people rushed to get rich. They went into the palace, telling jokes, making faces and performing burlesque. Seeing these people, I felt sick and kicked them all out.

There is a dirty man who can kiss up to others. His last name is Guo. He thought of a way to say that he could compliment and smile. He said to Zhou Youwang, "In the past, in order to guard against Xirong, more than 20 beacon towers were built around Mount Li, one every few miles. In case Xirong comes in, the soldiers guarding the first pass will burn bonfires, and those who pass the second pass will also burn bonfires when they see fireworks. So one bonfire after another was burning, and the neighboring princes saw it and sent troops to save it. Now that the world is peaceful, the beacon tower has long been useless. I want to invite the Queen Mother to visit Mount Li for a few days. At night, let's light a bonfire and make the sky red, so that the neighboring princes can see it. This is a big trick. When the queen saw these military forces, she ran over for a while, and everyone didn't laugh. Do you think my method is good? " Zhou Youwang narrowed his eyes into a crack, clapped his hands and said, "Great, great. Let's do it. "

They said they were leaving and went to Mount Li with praise. There was a warlord named gay friends, Zheng Huangong, the founding monarch of Zheng State, and his uncle who assisted in Kyoto. Everyone used to call him Zheng Boyou. He was afraid that the heavenly king would make trouble when playing with the bonfire, so he ran to Lishan to persuade him not to be so messy. Zhou Youwang is in a mood, where can you listen to such words? He said angrily, "I was bored in the palace." It's rare for me to accompany my empress out to set off fireworks to relieve boredom. Do you need to manage it? " Zheng Boyou touched a rebuff.

In the evening, Guo Shifu asked his soldiers to light a bonfire. The fire is burning more and more brightly, and the sky is full of flames. Beacon towers are one after another, and the distance is a pillar of fire. This is very beautiful and terrible. When the neighboring princes saw the bonfire, they thought Xirong was coming, so they quickly led their troops to kill the enemy. Unexpectedly, when I got there, no enemy could see it, and it didn't look like a war. I only hear music and singing. Guys, look at me. I look at you. I don't know what's going on. Zhou Youwang sent someone to say to them, "You have worked hard and have no enemies. Fireworks are set off by the king and the queen. Go home! " The Zhuangke people knew that they had been taken in by the heavenly king, and their stomachs were almost broken with anger.

Praise doesn't know what they are doing. Seeing so many soldiers and horses running around like flies, she asked Zhou Youwang, "What's going on?" Zhou Youwang told her in detail, saying it was to make her laugh. He crooked his neck and asked with a smile, "Is it nice?" I was so angry and funny that I couldn't help laughing and saying, "Haha, it's really beautiful! Fortunately, you can think of this thing. " The confused king at home is still boasting that his knowledge is really high. Needless to say, he gave Master Xiao Guoman one thousand kilograms of gold. They played for a few days before returning to Kyoto happily.

A few days later, Xirong really came in. When the first bonfire burst into flames, Zhou Youwang panicked. He hurriedly told Guo Shifu to light a bonfire here. Last time those princes were fooled, this time the king was joking and ignored him. Bonfires were lit at night and during the day, and no reinforcements came. There are not many soldiers and horses in Kyoto, only one Zheng Boyou is a general, who went out to resist for some time. However, his troops are too few. Later, he was surrounded by wise men and shot to death by random arrows. The general is dead, and the soldiers are in chaos. Xirong's army flooded in, killing people and robbing people. Young men and women could not defeat the enemy and were taken to be slaves. He was killed by Xirong, and even the praise of the old Guan who had no smiling face in the palace was taken away by them.

Zheng Boyou's son is called Digetu. As soon as he heard that his father was killed by Xirong, he put on his mourning clothes and rushed from Zheng to Kyoto with 300 chariots to fight with Xirong desperately. This young man is bold but cautious. On weekdays, Zheng's military forces are well trained. When they fought, they killed many enemies. Only then did the other governors know that Xirong had really come, and they all used the pickaxe in the car to fight Xirong. When the leader of Xirong saw the arrival of Hou Bing, he told his men to rob and empty the treasures accumulated in the Zhou Dynasty over the years, set them on fire and returned them at sixes and sevens.

Central Plains governors beat back Xirong, and everyone made Zhou Pingwang, the son of Zhou Youwang, king. The vassal returned to his own country, left Du Tu and was retained by Zhou Pingwang, asking him to handle affairs in Kyoto. Don't want to leave the governors, XiRong called again, occupied the western half of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and hit the edge of Kyoto step by step. Zhou Pingwang is afraid of losing his pickaxe in Beijing. He is afraid of death. Besides, many houses in Kyoto were burned to Xirong, and all the treasures in the warehouse were robbed. He couldn't afford to build a palace at all. So Zhou Pingwang dropped his pickaxe and moved to Luoyi. Because Haojing is in the west, it was called the Western Zhou Dynasty when it was called Kyoto in history. Luoyi is in the east. In 770 BC, after Zhou Pingwang moved the capital to Luoyi, it was called the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
