The historical story of King You of Zhou

King Wu of Zhou inherited the will of his father, King Wen, and actively prepared to attack the Shang Dynasty. He led his army to the mausoleum of King Wen and Zhaoge to test the strength of the Shang Dynasty and the reaction of the world to the attack. In the Battle of Muye, King Wu of Zhou led the alliance army to fight against the Shang army. In the end, King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty was defeated and self-immolated, and the Shang Dynasty was destroyed. King Wu's victory was due to the high morale of the alliance army and the internal division of the Shang army. This war established the Zhou Dynasty and marked the end of the Shang Dynasty.

King You of Zhou was a rather infamous ruler. He was known for his misrule. He was so infatuated with Baosi that he did all sorts of foolish things. For example, he used the beacon fires, which were supposed to be a signal for war emergencies, just to make Baosi laugh. This led to the loss of trust among his vassals. Eventually, when real enemies came, no one came to his rescue, and his reign ended in disaster, leading to the downfall of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The most important event was his misuse of the beacon fires for Baosi's amusement. This was crucial as it made his vassals distrust him.

However, whether these crimes were true or not, there was no conclusion at the moment.

The Investiture of the Gods was an ancient novel that described the story of King Wu of the Western Zhou Dynasty conquering King Zhou. There were some differences between this novel and the historical description, the most obvious of which was the time and historical background of King Wu's conquest of Zhou. The novel portrayed the war as a just war, while history was regarded as a story of a tyrant being overthrown. In the novel, the last emperor of the Shang Dynasty, King Zhou, was depicted as the ruler of a country without any laws. He killed the people and imprisoned them to implement tyranny. King Wu of Zhou overthrew King Zhou's rule by waging war and established the Western Zhou Dynasty. Compared to the historical descriptions, the Investiture of the Gods beautified the images of King Zhou and King Wu of Zhou. The novel depicted the Shang Dynasty as a powerful empire and King Wu of Zhou as a heroic leader. These plots helped to shape the characters and plot development of the novel. The Investiture of the Gods was different from historical descriptions, but it successfully constructed an imaginative and attractive world by embellishing historical characters and plot development. Although this novel is somewhat different from historical records, it is still a very popular novel that is widely read and studied.

The original text of the historical records of King Wu's conquest of Zhou could be found in the fourth volume of the Zhou Dynasty. According to the text, King Wu led his army to attack King Zhou. After a battle, King Wu personally shot King Zhou and beheaded him. In addition, King Zhou's favorite concubine also committed suicide. After conquering Zhou, King Wu raised the big white flag and signaled to the vassals. The vassals all prostrated themselves on the ground, and King Wu greeted them.

It described King Zhou's tyrannical behavior and Jiang Taigong's wisdom and courage. In the end, King Wu and Jiang Taigong successfully captured King Zhou and executed him. This book was very different from the historical records. It contained some supernatural plots, such as Daji turning into a demon. The author of the book was unknown. It was created during the Song and Yuan Dynasties and was widely circulated. This book was closely related to the Romance of the Gods, which was an expansion and description based on the Pinghua.

King Wen of Zhou and King Zhou were the two monarchs of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Their relationship was opposite. King Wen of Zhou was a loyal minister of the last emperor of the Shang Dynasty, King Zhou. He had always submitted to the Shang Dynasty under the rule of King Zhou. However, King Zhou's excessive debauchery caused the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people, which eventually led to his demise. After the death of King Zhou, King Wen of Zhou was succeeded by his son, King Wu of Zhou. He established the Zhou Dynasty and ended the rule of the Shang Dynasty. Therefore, King Wen of Zhou and King Zhou were enemies.
