The story of the prince in the bonfire drama

Tales of seven warlords in bonfire drama

The Story of the Prince of the Bonfire Play 1 The story of The Prince of the Bonfire Play has always been like this: The king's name was Zhou Youwang at the end of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and he had a beloved princess named Bao Si, who was very beautiful, but she was a cold beauty and never "laughed". Smile for Pomeranian. One night, Zhou Youwang boarded the tower with a compliment and ordered bonfires to be lit everywhere. When the neighboring governors saw the bonfire, they all rushed to the city gate to save it, but they saw the lights on the city and the drums were loud. I didn't know it was such a ridiculous thing until I asked. The princes dared to speak out in anger, so they had to withdraw their troops angrily and return to camp. He saw it and smiled indifferently. Soon, Zhou Youwang abolished Empress Shen and made an heir queen. The Queen of God, the maiden of the Queen of God, joined hands with the nomadic people in the west to attack Zhou Youwang. Zhou Youwang lit a bonfire, but the governors thought he was doing the same thing again, and no one sent troops to save him. As a result, the capital was breached, Zhou Youwang was killed and the Western Zhou Dynasty was destroyed.

But is this really the case?

Bao Si is a weak woman with bad karma.

Who is the compliment? According to historical records, she was a baby girl, born in poverty, abandoned by her parents since she was a child, and then adopted by an adult named Si. There is a passage in the history books of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty that describes praise: "Eyes are clear and eyebrows are clear, lips are red and teeth are white, dark clouds are pulled, jade is cut, and flowers are like the moon." It can be seen that compliments are really beautiful. When she was 14 years old, she entered the palace several times and became the wife of Zhou Youwang. Regarding the feelings of the two, the Historical Records wrote: "My wife likes praise very much. They fell in love and gave birth to her son Bofu. Bob is smart and cute. "

This explains a problem ── Zan is not a "mistress" who was killed halfway, but Zhou Youwang entered the palace as a prince and became a crown princess. They are very loving. The "son of praise" is the eldest son, because the ancient names of Bo, Zhong, Shu and Ji represent the rank of this person. "Bo" is the eldest brother, that is, the eldest among brothers. Since the heir is the elder of Zhou Youwang's wives and concubines, and her son is the eldest son, she should be the crown princess.

But why did the queen later become a queen instead of a compliment? It turns out that Shen Bo is Zhou Youwang's father Zhou Xuanwang's uncle. He has great influence in North Korea and often interferes in the political affairs of the DPRK. In order to consolidate his power, he proposed to marry his daughter to Tai Caliso Senus. King Wang Xuan naturally agreed to Nuo Nuo, the son of Shen Hou, so Taiku had to get married against his will under the pressure of his father. He had a bad relationship with this arrogant Houmen girl since Shen Hou, and it was not until many years after marriage that he gave birth to his son Yijiu.

The queen abolished the truth.

Later, after the death of King Xuan, he succeeded to the throne in the palace, that is, the king. He wants to make Juan a queen and a prince. However, Shen Hou, the son of Shen Bo, was definitely opposed to making her a queen, and even more opposed to making her son Fu Bo a prince. At that time, Shenhou had many confidants in North Korea, and in order to consolidate his rule in the south, Zhou Xuanwang moved his uncle Shenbo's vassal state to a strategic place "Xie" (now Nanyang, Henan Province) to defend Gyeonggi, which happened to be stuck between Haojing, the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty (northwest of Jin 'an), and the distant eastern vassal, so once a conflict broke out, the kingdom could directly seize the capital before the Kanto vassal arrived. Therefore, under the coercion and inducement of Shen Hou, you Wang had to temporarily make Shen Hou's sister a queen and become a prince against his will.

Later, after years of preparation, Zhou Youwang got the full support of his uncle Zheng Huangong, so he decided to break with Shen Hou publicly, and resolutely "abolish Shen Hou and the prince, with praise as the end" and "make him the prince". The eldest son inheritance system is of great significance to maintaining the ruling order of the Zhou Dynasty. After the abolition of Zhou Youwang and the change of the Crown Prince, there must be a etiquette basis, otherwise the Kanto governors will never sit idly by once they "violate the etiquette". After announcing that "praise is the first, servant is the king", local governors, especially Lu, who is known as the "courtesy state", did not make any attack at all. You know, Lu was the fief of the Duke of Zhou, who set all the rules and etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, Lu has always been regarded as the most authoritative vassal state in morality, and even Lu did not ask about it, indicating that this move did not violate orthodoxy.

It can be seen that there is nothing wrong with Wang's friends praising him as a queen and his servants praising him as a prince. It's just that he was born as an "abandoned baby" and didn't have such a strong social background as the Queen of God.

Bonfires are not "playing" with princes.

And just by common sense, you will find that the story of "beating the prince in the bonfire" is full of loopholes. For example, it is mentioned in the story that on the night of the bonfire party in Wang You, Bos smiled because he saw the panic of people from all walks of life who came to Wang Qin. But in fact, the vassal states of Lu, Qi, Qin and Yan guarding the frontier at that time were different from those of Yu, Guo, Tang and Zheng guarding the capital. For example, Yu is about 206 kilometers away from Haojing, Tang is nearly 280 kilometers away from Haojing, and Zheng is more than 380 kilometers away from Haojing. Weiguo is about 400 kilometers away from Haojing. With the traffic conditions at that time, it took at least ten days and a half months for the troops to mobilize, assemble, prepare food and March to finally reach Haojiang, and it took about three to five months for the troops to reach the city gate in one night, not to mention arriving at the same time. Therefore, if you want to see the scenes in the story, unless you and Wang praise you, camp at the beacon tower and wait for several months.

Except for the beacon tower, the Great Wall was not built at that time, and even the nearest vassal state was separated by hundreds of kilometers, so there was no fire at all on the beacon tower of Lishan Mountain, let alone other vassal states. In fact, the beacon tower on Mount Li is not what people think, but used to make the vassal States king. It is just a policeman inside Wang Ji, just like the beacon tower set up by the Yangtze River during the Three Kingdoms period, which can only serve as an internal warning to the enemy.

At that time, there were three armies of the Zhou Emperor: the Sixth West Division, the Eighth East Division and the Eighth Yin Division. The Sixth West Division was stationed in Haojiang, the capital city, near today's Xi City, Shaanxi Province, to defend the homeland of the Zhou Dynasty. The beacon tower in Lishan Mountain is mainly used to mobilize these Julian Waghann to cooperate or conduct exercises. More importantly, the battle of Mount Li was Wang You's initiative to crusade against Shen Guo, and no warning was needed at all. Even if you do light a bonfire, it can only be used to mobilize Julian Waghann before the war between gods and gods, and it has nothing to do with teasing governors.

Therefore, the story described by the "war drama princes" is not the historical truth. The truth is that Zhou Youwang launched a war against the kingdom of God in order to get rid of the control of state affairs by the empress. In order to help his nephew Yijiu (later Zhou Pingwang) seize the throne, Shen Hou joined forces with nomadic people in the western regions to attack you Wang, which was essentially a struggle for power and interests. It's just that your king underestimated each other's strength. Unexpectedly, when he was fighting against Shen Guo in the southeast, Shen Hou attacked his empty rear with a dog, so he was attacked from front to back and died on the battlefield of Lishan Mountain.

In this fairy tale spread for thousands of years, praise is very wronged. She is just a beautiful, kind and indifferent weak woman with evil deeds, which has nothing to do with Zhou Youwang's death and the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty. The reason why she was described by later generations as a demon princess of national subjugation and was constantly demonized was because it was Shen Hou and his son Wang Ping who finally won and became the so-called "orthodoxy". This ridiculous black-and-white inversion has emerged endlessly in the history of China, including Xia and Xi, Shang and da ji, Wu and Tang ... leading to unfairness of many beautiful women forever.

Selected from the encyclopedia of new science and technology 20xx.2

Zhou Youwang, the son of Zhou Xuanwang, was the last son of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Zhou Youwang likes the praise of the beautiful princess very much. After she gave birth to her son Bofu, he abolished the original Queen of God and Prince Yijiu and changed it to praise, and Bofu became a prince. However, praise is born not to laugh. In order to make her happy, Wang You did not hesitate to stage one big farce after another until he lost the country.

In order to guard against dog attacks, the Zhou Dynasty built more than 20 beacon towers on Mount Li, one at intervals. This is the prototype of the Great Wall today. If the dog barks, the soldier who gets the news first will burn a bonfire; Soldiers at the surrounding checkpoints saw fireworks and lit bonfires. Burn during the day and raise fire at night. In this way, emergency information can be quickly transmitted, and the nearby princes can send troops to rescue them in time. In order to please the king and queen, Minister Guo Shifu suggested that the king and queen go to Mount Li to light a bonfire at night. The prince nearby saw it, and they will come soon. The queen may laugh when she sees that many soldiers and horses have lost their breath.

So, with a compliment, you Wang went to Alexandria to give a banquet. In the middle of the night, King You really ordered the bonfire to be lit. The warning message was quickly spread to neighboring countries. The princes near Ji Wang thought that there was an emergency military action in Haojing, so they immediately assembled their troops and rushed to support them. In the morning, Zhuang Ke's teacher really came to Mount Li. Wang You did not care to send someone to inform the princes that this was his own bonfire to amuse himself. The monarch of the country was tired and panicked, so he had to stop and hate. The Queen finally smiled, and the King rewarded Guo Shifu for it. Ministers and governors were very disappointed with the monarch when they saw this situation.

In order to please and praise, you Wang also ordered Shen to kill the former Prince Yijiu. Shen Hou was very angry that his daughter was scrapped after applying for the application, and he was even more unwilling to kill his grandson. So, Shen Hou joined forces with the state, colluded with the division of the dog Rong clan to criticize you Wang Daxing, and * * * attacked Haojing, the capital of Zhou Dynasty. In Enemy at the Gates, King Wang You once again ordered his men to light bonfires and ask for help from their vassal states. Because of the lesson from the past, the monarchs were not in a hurry to send troops and slowly headed for Haojing. Before the reinforcements arrived, Haojing had fallen. Ji You, who was in charge of government affairs, died in the war, as did Guo Shifu, who advised mankind. Wang You and Fu Bo were both killed by dogs, and people's praise was taken away. The Western Zhou Dynasty is over.

China has a saying since ancient times: A dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's son can make holes. Therefore, with the wise SHEN WOO of Zhou Wenwang and Zhou Wuwang, their offspring should be excellent, but it turns out that genes will also mutate in the genetic process. No, Zhou Youwang, the black sheep of the Zhou Dynasty, came. Let's look at him!

King of nonsense

Zhou Youwang's father is not a particularly incompetent person, but I don't know why his son is so disappointing. A few days after he ascended the throne, you Wang showed the potential of the black sheep.

Wang You, this guy is talking nonsense. He is not interested in national affairs. He just wants to save more gold and silver for himself and eat, drink and be merry. Therefore, he appointed Shi Guo's father, greedy for money and good at flattery, presided over political affairs and exploited people more and more. As a result, people are angry and complain, and various natural disasters continue year after year.

However, you Wang still doesn't wake up, only knows to drink and drink. At this time, one person can't stand it. He is a doctor. Uncle Yue's advice to focus on beauty ended in failure. You Wang became angry from embarrassment and kicked him out. The minister praised his dissatisfaction and protested to King Youwang. Wang You was already very angry, and his protest added fuel to the fire: "Somebody, lock up this old man who doesn't know the depth!" "

In this way, Baoxiang was put in prison. The reason is: Who made you so blind?

A Zanjie fell from the sky.

Bao Xiang was caught, and his son was anxious! Because, with Zhou Youwang's mischievous character, maybe one day he will be unhappy and his father will fall to the ground. He spent three years running around looking for something, a treasure that could save his father from prison.

On this day, he was still on his way to find the treasure. Suddenly, a man stopped his horse. Angry, he was about to swear, but he bowed his head and met a face that shocked him.

He comes from a rich family and has many beautiful women since childhood, but he has never seen such a beautiful woman! He was hooked up. This is the treasure he is looking for! It is really difficult to find a place to do it, and there is no strength at all!

As a result, this ragged girl who couldn't hide her natural beauty followed her son to the praise house and began to accept the training of a lady. After the training, a beautiful woman who changed the history of China was born. She is a compliment.

Beauty doesn't like to laugh.

Freshly baked aristocratic beauty compliment appeared in front of Zhou Youwang as scheduled.

Looking at Zan, the king's eyes were straight: beautiful! Beauty At present, Zhou Youwang seems to have forgotten the crime of praise, not only released it on the spot, but also gave him many gold, silver and jewels. Thus, beauty is very powerful, because even a hero will be sad for beauty, not to mention Zhou Youwang is not a hero.

Zhou Youwang really likes compliments! I'm just afraid of flying in my hand and melting in my mouth. However, this beautiful woman doesn't know what's going on and doesn't like to laugh. Wang You is very worried. He tried every means to make her laugh.

Wang You asked people to collect jokes from all over the world and tell them to his admirers. Zan didn't seem to hear, and his mouth didn't move. Wang You invited a street clown to perform in the palace, and everyone was amused, but no one laughed at the compliment.

Wang You is in trouble now. But he thought that there must be limitations in trying to make her laugh alone. If I let everyone in the world try to make her laugh together, I will succeed. Do as you say. On this day, Zhou Youwang sent a letter: Who can think of a way to praise and give her daughter a gift!

So this is a smile.

Under the four rewards, there must be brave people. Sure enough, on this day, Prime Minister Guo Shifu came up with a brilliant idea: "Your Majesty, in order to guard against Xirong's invasion, we built more than 20 beacon towers. As long as the enemy came in, the soldiers lit a series of bonfires for the neighboring governors to see, so that they could send troops to rescue them. Now that the world is peaceful, the beacon tower has long been useless. It is better to light a bonfire and let the princes fall for it. The queen will laugh when she sees these military forces and then runs over. What do you think of my method? "

Wang You was overjoyed: "Premier Guo, you are really the king's right-hand man! You can come up with such a creative method, and it is worthwhile for Ben Wang to be kind to you for so many years. Well, I'll leave it to you. "

This is a "glorious" night in history, because the long-lost bonfire was rekindled, and the fire reflected half the sky, which was very beautiful. Seeing the bonfire burning, the surrounding governors thought that the emperor was in trouble and set off for Beijing overnight. When the vassal arrived in Beijing, nothing happened, and the son of heaven was not in Beijing at all. I didn't know until I asked, but your king went to Xishan. Zhuangke forgot to rest and led the army to Xishan.

After Zhou Xuanwang's death, his son Jigong Nie succeeded to the throne, namely Zhou Youwang. Zhou Youwang doesn't care about any national affairs, only knows to eat, drink and be merry, and sends people everywhere to look for beautiful women. There was a minister named Zhen Bao (b ā oxiang), who advised you to swim the king. Zhou Youwang not only refused to listen, but put Bao Zheng in prison.

Bao Jun was imprisoned for three years. Zanjia people try their best to save Zan. They bought a beautiful girl in the country, taught her to sing and dance, dressed her and gave her to the reclusive king to compensate for her praise. This girl is the apple of her family's eye. Her name is Li.

Wang You was so happy when he got the compliment that he said it. He likes Zan very much, but Zan has been unhappy since he entered the palace, and has never smiled once. Wang You tried to make her laugh, but she couldn't.

Zhou Youwang offered a reward: anyone who can make the princess smile will get a reward of 1200 gold coins.

There is an apple polisher named Master Guo Gu who has an idea about Zhou Youwang. It turned out that in order to guard against dog attacks, the Zhou Dynasty built more than 20 beacon towers in Lishan (now southeast of Lintong, Li Yin, Shaanxi Province), and there was one every few miles. If the dog barks, the soldiers who guard the first level will burn a bonfire; The soldiers in the second level saw the fireworks and burned the bonfire. In this way, bonfires burned one after another. When the nearby governors saw it, they would send troops to save it. Guo Shifu said to Zhou Youwang, "Now the world is peaceful, and the beacon tower has not been used for a long time. I'd like to invite your majesty and queen to visit Mount Li for a few days. In the evening, let's light a bonfire and show it to the nearby governors. This will be a big trick. The empress will laugh when she sees these many military forces. "

Zhou Youwang clapped his hands and said, "Great, let's do it!"

They climbed Mount Li and really lit the bonfire on Mount Li. The neighboring princes got this alarm and thought it was a dog barking, so they quickly led their troops to rescue them. Unexpectedly, when we got there, there was not even the shadow of a dog soldier, only the music and songs in the mountains, and everyone was shocked.

Wang You sent someone to tell them that it was difficult for everyone. There is nothing here, only the king and the princess set off fireworks. Go home!

Zhuangke knew that he had been cheated and went back in a rage.

I don't know what they're doing, but I saw some horses coming at the foot of Mount Li, so I asked you what's going on. Wang You told her in detail. The compliment really smiled.

When you saw the smiling face of praise, the king gave Guo Shifu 1200 gold coins.

Wang You loved praise. Later, he simply abolished the queen and the prince, made praise the queen, and made the son of praise the prince. It turned out that the queen's father was a vassal of the state of Shen. When he got the news, he linked the dogs to attack Haojing.

When Wang You heard the news of the dog attack, he panicked and quickly ordered the bonfire of Lishan Mountain to be lit. The bonfire did burn, but the governors ignored them because they were cheated last time.

The beacon tower braved the smoke during the day and lit candles at night, but no reinforcements arrived.

When the dog soldiers arrived, there were not many soldiers and horses in Haojing, and they barely resisted for a while, so they were beaten out of the water by the dog soldiers. Dog troops flooded into the city, killing Zhou Youwang, Guo Shifu and Fu Bo, who was born in Baosi. The compliment that didn't laugh was also taken away.

At this time, the princes realized that Dog Rong had really entered the Haojiang River, so they joined forces and took a large group of people to rescue them. Seeing the arrival of the warlord's army, the dog army leader ordered his men to plunder the precious property accumulated in the Zhou Dynasty for many years and set fire to it before retreating.

The central plains governors beat off the dog Rong and made the original Prince Ji Yijiu the son of heaven, that is, Zhou Pingwang. The vassals also returned to their fiefs.

Unexpectedly, when the governors left, Dog Rong called again, and most of the land in the west of Zhou Dynasty was occupied by Dog Rong. King Ping was afraid of losing his capital and made up his mind to move to Luoyi.

In 770 BC, Zhou Pingwang moved the capital to Luoyi. Because Haojing is in the west and Luoyi is in the east, the period when the Zhou Dynasty was the capital of Haojing was called the Western Zhou Dynasty. After moving the capital to Luoyi, it was called the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

After the death of Zhou Xuanwang, Zhou Youwang succeeded to the throne. He was the last son of heaven in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Last name is Ji, first name is Gong Nie. He doesn't care about state affairs, only cares about eating, drinking and having fun, and sends people everywhere to find beautiful women. The minister praised you and advised you to govern the country well, take good care of the people, and don't bring girls from ordinary people to the palace. Zhou Youwang was very angry and put Zaphod in prison.

Baojun's family was forced to buy a beautiful country girl named Baozi, trained her to sing and dance, dressed her up as soon as she was trained, and sent her to Haojiang to atone for Zhou Youwang and Baojun.

Zhou Youwang said the compliment as soon as he saw it was beautiful. From then on, Zhou Youwang played with her day and night and treated her like a baby. I don't like you Wang, a dead old man. She wants to go home, always frowning and sighing, and often tears like beads. Wang You tried to make her laugh, but she didn't laugh at all. Wang You had no choice, so he offered a reward: "Whoever can make the empress laugh, I will give him 1000 kilograms of gold (copper was called gold at that time)."

No sooner had he gone out than a shameless man named Guo Shifu came to flatter Zhou Youwang and said, "I have a way to make the queen laugh. In order to guard against the invasion of Xirong (a tribe in the western regions, known as "Dog Rong" in the Zhou Dynasty), didn't we build more than 20 beacon towers around Lishan Mountain? You see, there is one every few miles. In case Xirong comes in, the soldiers guarding the pass will burn bonfires, and the neighboring governors will send troops to rescue them when they see it. I want to invite your old man and queen to visit Mount Li. In the evening, let's let the soldiers light a bonfire and burn it red, so that the princes can see how interesting it is to be a big shot! The empress couldn't stop laughing when she saw us playing such a prank! "

Hearing this, Zhou Youwang nodded again and again and said, "That's a good idea. Just try it. "

Warlord Zheng Boyou is Zhou Youwang's uncle. He was afraid that the king would light a bonfire and make trouble, so he went to visit the king and advised him not to be so chaotic. Zhou Youwang won't listen! He blew his beard and stared angrily and said, "I'm bored to death in the palace." It is rare to go out with the empress and set off fireworks on the beacon tower to relieve boredom. Do you need to manage it? " Fucking thing! "

In the evening, King Wang You asked Guo Shifu to tell the soldiers guarding the customs to light the bonfire quickly. The beacon on the beacon tower burns more and more brightly, and the distance is a pillar of fire. When the neighboring governors saw the bonfire, they thought that Xirong had come in and quickly led the troops to kill the enemy. Unexpectedly, when I got there, I couldn't even see an enemy. They just saw drums, music, singing and dancing. People don't know what this is about. Zhou Youwang sent someone to say to them, "You have worked hard and have no enemies. It was me and the queen who made a bonfire for fun. Go back! " The princes were so angry that their bellies would burst.

Zansi saw many military forces running around, such as fly chucks, and asked what it was. Zhou Youwang told her that it was to make her laugh. Praise si thought a Zhou Wang was too boring, so he smiled. Wang You smiled and praised, so he gave Uncle Guo one thousand Jin of gold. Guo Shifu has coke, and he made a fortune!

A few days later, Xirong really came in. Soldiers guarding the customs soon lit the beacon tower. Princes, when you were the king, you were playing with bonfires and making the queen laugh, but they all ignored him.

Xirong's army flooded in, killing, robbing and taking young men and women as slaves. What a tragedy! Soon, Xirong entered the palace, Zhou Youwang was killed by Xirong with a halberd, and the praise was also taken away by Xirong. Later, the vassal soldiers arrived, Xirong was defeated, especially the king died, and the son of Li was named Prince.

Her surname is Ji and her name is Yijiu. At this time, most of the land in the west of the Zhou Dynasty was occupied by Xirong, and King Ping was afraid that Haojing would fall. In 770 BC, he moved the capital to Luoyi. Haojiang is in the west, so the period when the Zhou Dynasty was the capital of Haojiang was called the Western Zhou Dynasty in history. After moving the capital to Luoyi, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty began in history.

In the feudal dynasty of China, the king was the supreme ruler of the country and enjoyed supreme power, but if the king treated the state power as a child's play and did whatever he wanted, it would only lead to his own demise.

Zhou Youwang was the last king of the Zhou Dynasty in the 8th century BC. When he was in power, he was ignorant and did not manage the country well. He plays with beautiful women in the harem all day. Zhou Youwang especially dotes on a concubine named Cong Si. She is satisfied with everything, but Cong Si is always unhappy and seldom laughs. Zhou Youwang tried many ways to tease the compliment and try to make her smile. However, the more he tried to make the compliment smile, the more calm it was, and he deliberately stopped laughing. In order to win the beauty's smile, Zhou Youwang really had a hard time.

One day, Zhou Youwang took his aunt to play outside, and they came to the beacon tower of Lishan Mountain. Zhou Youwang explained the purpose of the beacon tower to Bao Si and told her that it was a building for reporting war news. At that time, from the frontier to the capital, a high earth platform was built at regular intervals, and soldiers were stationed day and night. When the enemy invaded the border, the soldiers stationed on the beacon immediately lit the beacon and alerted the neighboring beacon. If this matter is passed down all the way, what happened at the border will soon spread to the capital. Once the capital was threatened, the beacon tower on Mount Li also lit a beacon fire and sent a message to the vassal state to which the Zhou Dynasty belonged, and the vassal state immediately sent troops to help.

Hearing Zhou Youwang's words, he didn't believe that building a fire on such a high mound could summon reinforcements thousands of miles away. In order to win praise, Zhou Youwang immediately ordered the soldiers to light a bonfire. Beacon was lit on one beacon tower after another, and local governors soon got the news that the capital was attacked and led troops to come to the rescue.

However, when the governors from all walks of life arrived at the foot of Mount Li, they saw Zhou Youwang and his concubine drinking and having fun on the high platform. There were no enemies at all. They realized that they had been fooled by the king. The warlord dared not lose his temper, so he could only lead the army back angrily. Seeing the princes who are usually very noble, they are all in a mess after being played. I thought it was funny and couldn't help laughing. Zhou Youwang finally saw his beloved princess smile and felt very happy.

After all the Zhuangke retired, Zhou Youwang told the soldiers to rekindle the bonfire, and all the Zhuangke came in a hurry with the army. Zhou Youwang and Congsi laughed together when they saw the governors cheating again on the beacon tower. In this way, Zhou Youwang repeatedly lit bonfires and teased the governors. Finally, when the bonfire was rekindled, no warlord was fooled again.

Soon, Zhou Youwang wanted Kang Ru to be the queen and Kang Ru's son to be the prince. In order to achieve his goal, he abolished the queen and the prince. The queen's father, King Shen, was very angry when he heard that his daughter had been abolished. He immediately contacted other countries and sent troops to attack the Zhou Dynasty. Zhou Youwang hurriedly lit a bonfire and called Zhuangke.

However, the governors no longer trusted Zhou Youwang, and despite the constant fire, none of them came to the rescue. Soon, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty was breached, Zhou Youwang was killed, praise was deprived, and the Zhou Dynasty perished.

In the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Youwang fell in love with a woman named Bao (bāo). Zance is beautiful and captivates the whole country, but he doesn't like to laugh.

In order to make a beautiful smile, Wang used many methods, but he still didn't smile. Wang You racked his brains and finally came up with a good way to make beautiful women laugh.

It turned out that the Western Zhou Dynasty set up beacon towers and drums in all parts of the capital, and agreed with the governors of the four directions that whenever foreign enemies attacked, beacon towers and drums should be lit. When the princes see it, they will send troops to save it. This time, the "good idea" that you Wang thought of was to light a bonfire and make the beautiful woman smile. He ordered the bonfire to be lit, and at that time, smoke billowed over the capital. Seeing the flames of war, the governors of all walks of life thought that there was an enemy invasion and sent troops to Beijing one after another. But when the troops arrived, they didn't see the enemy and had to retreat in a hurry.

I couldn't help laughing when I saw the prince's army rushing in and rushing away. Zhou Youwang was overjoyed to see that his method had worked. In order to please the beautiful woman, he ordered the bonfire to be lit many times. Finally, the princes no longer believed him and were no longer deceived.

Later, the remnants of the West attacked Yue Wangyou. In a critical situation, he ordered the bonfire to be lit and asked the princes for help. However, the governors who suffered heavy losses did not send reinforcements. As a result, you Wang was killed by dogs and Rong people at the foot of Lishan Mountain, praised and taken away, and the treasures of the Zhou Dynasty were looted.

Meaning and usage: Later, the allusion of "beating the prince with a bonfire" was used to describe the monarch's addiction to women, which led to national subjugation.
