Zhou Liwang has more mouths to defend the people than Sichuan. Is he a tyrant?

From the simple point of view of our present history, Zhou Liwang in the Western Zhou Dynasty was a typical tyrant, but several comments on Zhou Liwang in the Western Zhou Dynasty always felt too simple, so it is hard to say whether Zhou Liwang was a tyrant or not.

One day in 84 1 BC, a group of distinguished people rushed into the emperor's palace. After fierce fighting, Zhou Liwang was driven out of the palace. These people called themselves "Chinese" and engaged in armed revolution under the banner of upholding justice and eliminating tyrants. They were called "Chinese riots" in history, and Zhou Liwang was also named as a tyrant.

Because everyone washed away, this Zhou Liwang Ji Hu left a bad reputation in the history books. However, has Zhou Liwang really been driven away? Because he is too bad and a tyrant.

It can be said that the Zhou Dynasty did not become strong with the passage of time, because it can be said that the sky was high and the emperor was far away. The Zhou Dynasty almost lost control of its king. Sometimes a small third-rate country came to pay tribute to the Zhou Dynasty, and the Zhou Dynasty was still very excited. The average vassal state simply ignored the Zhou Dynasty.

Zhou Liwang's father, Zhou Yiwang, imitated the king of Chu in the south and sealed his three sons. In the face of such a move, Zhou Yiwang can only pretend to be invisible, but Zhou Liwang is different. He didn't want the Zhou Dynasty to continue like this.

Zhou Liwang conquered many countries, which fully proved that he was a capable and ambitious king, which shocked other vassal States, and Chu also obediently cancelled the title.

But Zhou Liwang also found that his dream was over. He found that his father had no dreams, but he had no money. Now he is also facing such a situation. Then Zhou Liwang began to reform and cut the flesh of princes. After these vassals were cut, they in turn oppressed the people, saying that he was a tyrant and even got Zhou Liwang.

So in my opinion, Zhou Liwang is not necessarily a tyrant.
