Ruined himself and ruined the Shang dynasty, there is another big problem, that is, good pleasure, figure enjoyment, indulge in alcohol, addicted to music. Since he got a great beauty Daji, this habit has developed to the point that it is difficult to clean up. The downfall of every dynasty is almost always associated with a legend of the scourge of the red face. The most famous example is "Daji's death in Yin". Legend has it that Daji used her beauty to confuse King Zhou, cover the sleeves of the work of slander, fox charming and confusing the Lord, the King of Yin Zhou stirred up the soul, making the King of Zhou intoxicated with sex, ignore the government, and finally even the good end of the river and mountain also lost. Therefore, later generations often use "the red face is a scourge" to compare with the harem concubines who messed up the government with their sex, and "disemboweling and watching the fetus" has become a warning for successive dynasties to hear. However, the country's demise, correct its original cause, should be the first king of the country's governance is not effective, the demise of a regime is completely counted on the head of a woman is not fair. In order to make peace with the Shang Dynasty, the Arisu Clan let their ministers choose beautiful women from all over the country, and Daji contributed them as gifts to the Zhou Dynasty. There is also a legend that Daji became a demon woman when she was possessed by a fox while being escorted by her father to Chaoge. The fact that the woman became a demon seems to find a reason for the downfall of the Shang Dynasty. King Zhou favored Daji so much that when he saw her for the first time, he thought to himself, "With this woman, what is the meaning of the Shang dynasty to me? And Daji is also really beautiful and touching, with the appearance of the closed moon and shy flowers, fish and geese of the face, she ink cloud hair, almond face peach cheeks, eyebrows such as the spring mountain shallow diaper, eyes as if the autumn wave, like the Begonia drunken day, pear blossom with the rain, the body section of the slender and soft, moving as if the weak willows with the wind, but also inherently will be made of the state of charm, so that the king of zhou was lost in the spirit of the. King Zhou since into Daji, Dynasty feast, night entertainment, Daji to do whatever he says. At the same time, he collected taxes and expanded the capital of Yin southward to Chaoge (present-day Qi County, Henan Province) and northward to Handan and Shachu (present-day Pingxiang, Hebei Province, northeast of the country), and constructed palaces and pavilions in this vast area. It took him seven years to build the Deer Terrace in the capital city of Chaoguo (present-day Qi County, Henan Province), which covered an area of three miles and was as high as 1,000 feet. On the Deer Terrace, there was a lofty star-gathering building and exquisite pavilions, which were even more spectacular than Xia Jie's Yaotai. He ordered the musician Shi Juan to make "Beili dance", "the music of woo-woo" and other obscene sounds and strange dances, all-night drinking pleasure, ignoring the government, do not sacrifice to ghosts and gods. He also likes to eat meat and drink wine, they learned the appearance of Xia Jie, in the palace courtyard dug a large pool, which is filled with wine, called "wine pool", it is said that the wine can be full of boats, and in the pool side of the woods hanging on the meat, called "meat forest". King Zhou and Daji enjoyed themselves in the "wine pool" and "meat forest". Legend has it that Daji was not only lecherous and foxy, but also cruel in nature, encouraging King Zhou to design a variety of shocking cruel torture to enjoy the scene of others being tortured to death to *** their own desires. One day, king zhou and daji in the deer platform feast, three thousand six palace concubines gathered in the deer platform, king zhou ordered them to take off their dresses, naked singing and dancing, wantonly banter. King Zhou and Daji laughed and drank on the stage. Only the seventy-two concubines of the late Empress Jiang's palace covered their faces with tears and refused to sing and dance naked. Daji said, "These are the concubines who used to be with Queen Jiang, who resented the king for killing Queen Jiang, and I heard that they were planning to make a mess in order to murder the king! I didn't believe them at first, but now I see that they dare to disobey the king's order, so it seems that the rumor of rebellion is true, and they should be severely punished, so that other people won't dare to plot against the king!" King Zhou asked, "What qualifies as severe punishment?" Daji said: "According to my concubine's opinion, in front of the Stargazer Building, we can dig a pit on the ground with a circumference of several hundred paces and a depth of five feet, and then throw snakes, scorpions, bees, insects and the like into the hole, and put these courtesans into the pit, to be devoured by hundreds of insects, which is called the punishment of the scorpion basin." King zhou was pleased, immediately according to the words of daji made an insect basin, will be the seventy-two courtesans into the pit, a time pit under the heart-wrenching sad cry. King Zhou laughed: "If it were not for the wonderful plan of Consort Ai, I could not exterminate this rebellious concubine!" When Prince Yin Jiao heard about this, he went to Deer Terrace and reminded King Zhou, saying, "The decree is for the guilty, now the concubines are not guilty of treason, but they are subjected to the most miserable punishment, which is because Daji misled the saint's wisdom, and caused the people to know that the father is the king of the world is not a moral king. Please behead Daji, so as to set the court straight!" Daji said, "The Crown Prince conspired with all the concubines to discredit the concubines, please make a decision." King Zhou immediately ordered his guards to hammer Yin Jiao to death, but Bi Gan scrambled to dissuade him, saying, "The Crown Prince is the foundation of the country, so you can't inflict punishment at will." King Zhou then did not kill the crown prince, but still banished him to a deserted place. Mei Bo came to King Zhou and said, "Empress Jiang was executed for no fault of her own, and the Crown Prince was banished for no fault of his own. I ask the King to recall the Crown Prince and reinstate the Eastern Palace, and I am willing to die in his stead!" Daji slandered, "Meibe is a member of the Crown Prince's party, and that's why he's working together." King Zhou asked, "Then how to deal with these people?" Daji said, "The group of ministers have insulted the dignity of the king, all because of the lightness of the penal code. In my opinion, we can cast a hollow copper pillar, burn fire inside, and coat the outside with grease, so that the prisoners can hold the pillar naked, their skin and flesh will be rotten, and their ribs will be crushed, so that they will know how to be afraid, and there will no longer be any treacherous party in the court!" King Zhou immediately followed the instructions to erect a copper pillar, will be Meibe's clothes stripped naked, tied to the copper pillar, burned in a few moments of flesh and bones crushed into ashes. This is the punishment of cannon branding. Daji also said: "you can make another copper bucket, also add fire in it. For those whose crimes are minor and not punishable by death, let them hold the iron and have their hands and feet scorched, so that they can distinguish between the severity of the law." Daji heard the screams of the prisoners, and laughed as at the music of the *** senses. King Zhou abused heavy punishment in order to win Daji's smile. So King Zhou set up dozens of bronze pillars and bronze buckets and placed them in front of the temple, and added this punishment to all guilty ministers. He also treated the vassal kings very cruelly. At that time, many vassals were dissatisfied with Zhou's tyranny, and those treacherous ministers reflected this situation to King Zhou, who, in order to strengthen his rule, appointed three dukes to lead the vassals, namely, Xibo Chang, Jiu Hou and E Hou. The ninth marquis received this task of spying on others, and was very unhappy in his heart; he hated the practices of Zhou with a passion, but dared not refuse to accept them; he had a beautiful daughter, who, seeing that her father was sad all day long, inquired of her father as to the cause, and, knowing her father's distress, said, "Father, don't be anxious; my daughter can help to relieve you of your troubles, and I have a way of persuading Zhou to change his present this unpopular practice." The Ninth Marquis then agreed. The daughter of the Ninth Marquis came to the capital, and her appearance made King Zhou fall in love with her at first sight. However, the daughter of the Nine Constables was not a womanizer by nature, so she could not satisfy King Zhou's lustful demands. King Zhou would not listen to the persuasion of the daughter of the Nine Constables, and one day, he simply killed her. Knowing this, Jiu Hou's heart was like a knife, so he begged to see King Yue. Knowing that he would die under the tyrant sooner or later, Jiu Hou simply gave up. Nine Husband boldly said in front of King Zhou: "You, this mediocre king, now the people of the country are forced to the brink of death for you, my daughter is completely for the sake of the gods of the earth and grain to persuade you, but you killed her instead ......" Poor Nine Husband's words had not yet finished, King Zhou just ordered his men to drag out and kill.
