The first is Shang Zhouwang.
Shang Zhouwang Di Xin, formerly known as Zi Shou, was the youngest son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, born about 1 105 BC. Because Wei's eldest brother's mother was born in the side room, he could not inherit the unification, and the throne fell to him.
After Di's death in 1076 BC, Di Xin, 30, succeeded to the throne as the eldest son, calling Shang Zhouwang the 3rd1generation son of heaven in Shang Dynasty.
This Shang Zhouwang Di Xin is the right person for the king.
When he was young, he was very talented, smart and had strong language skills. He can argue that his opponent is speechless and his ability to adapt to the environment is extraordinary. When it comes to decisive attack, people are caught off guard. Powerful, you can fight the beast alone.
There is a record of "Di Xin" in Historical Records: the emperor is very sensitive to the discrimination of diseases; Material strength is extraordinary, and hands are beasts; Wisdom is enough to refuse admonition, and words are enough to make mistakes; I admire the ability of people and ministers, and I think everyone is under himself. "
Second, expand the territory, be wise and brave.
After Di Xin proclaimed himself emperor, he didn't spoil da ji and kill loyalists as described in The Romance of Gods.
There is indeed da ji in history, an ordinary woman of the Sioux tribe. Shang Zhouwang and Di Xin were conquered by the Soviet Union, and da ji was taken into the harem by Di Xin as a prisoner of war, and died a year later.
Di Xin's affection for da ji is completely false.
It is also fictional that he killed loyal ministers at will. For example, to dig a "seven clever hearts" to treat da ji is to vilify Shang Zhouwang. Shang Zhouwang doesn't even want to kill Xibo Hou Jichang, but will also hurt loyal Wang Shu, just to dig his "seven clever hearts" to treat da ji? It obviously doesn't make sense, not to mention da ji's long death.
In fact, Shang Zhouwang is not a king who likes to kill innocent people.
He was in power for 30 years. He is brave and resourceful. He not only manages state affairs attentively, but also is not afraid of internal and external troubles. He conquered the Su family, used troops to spread abroad, devoted himself to expanding the territory and spreading the advanced culture and technology of the Central Plains, aiming at promoting social and economic development and national integration. Under the long-term cultivation of Shang Zhouwang and Di Xin, the territory of Yin merchants once extended to the Jianghuai area, directly to the Bohai Sea and the East China Sea, which is today's Tianjin and Dalian areas.
This is specifically recorded in Huainanzi: "The land of Zhou, the left East Sea, the right quicksand, the front toe, and the back secluded capital."
Thus, Shang Zhouwang Di Xin has made great contributions. He can make such great achievements and deserves to be called a great hero.
Zuo Zhuan praised it as: 100 grams will never die. It means that he won an invincible victory in the war to conquer Dongyi. Although he later lost his country in the key "Makino War", this cannot deny his previous achievements.
Third, develop agriculture, know people and be good at their duties.
In The Romance of the Gods, Fei Zhong was written as a heinous traitor. Under his slanderous remarks, there were villains, and Xibo Hou Jichang was imprisoned by Zhou Wang.
In fact, Fei Zhong's imprisonment has nothing to do with it. The real Fei Zhong is not a traitor, but a loyal minister of Shang Dynasty who can govern the country.
Under the esteem of Shang Zhouwang and Di Xin, on the one hand, they promoted Niu Geng and irrigation and drainage, encouraged farming and mulberry planting, and vigorously developed agriculture; On the other hand, the rectification of historical rule and the elimination of dissidents within the royal family greatly weakened the aristocratic forces, made the government decrees smooth, and the social and economic development reached its peak during the Zhou Wang period.
This fully shows that Shang Zhouwang and Di Xin are good at knowing people and being good at their duties, and they are not bad kings who don't know how to govern the country, who don't know how to choose people, and who only know how to enjoy themselves.
Shang Zhouwang's use of talents such as Jiao Wei, Fei Lian and Loy proves that he is good at reusing talents in an eclectic way.
Dr Jiao Wei doesn't want to be an official, but he can't plow, but he is hardworking, eloquent and a good businessman. Shang Zhouwang and Di Xin agreed that he would go into business and manage the salt industry. Later, Jiaozi and Guan Zhong (who was the first to put forward "salt benefit") and Su Sha (who made sea salt from sea water) became the three great ancestors of salt industry.
Among the fugitives, Di Xin and Shang Zhouwang saw that powerful Hubei and Feilian could be good at fighting, so they made an exception and became generals, and led their troops to conquer Lebanon, the Soviet Union and other dependent countries, making great contributions to the world. Later, he was brave and unyielding in the "Makino War". E Lai was killed on the spot, and Fei Lian was also killed in the later anti-Zhou war.
Fourth, the postscript
According to legend, the Ying family who founded the State of Qin during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is the descendant of General Fei Lian. The destruction of the Zhou Dynasty by the Qin Dynasty seems to have fulfilled the fate of the causal cycle, which is another story.
Just to mention the famous "Makino War" in history, Shang Zhouwang Di Xin's fiasco was actually caused by objective reasons.
Because of Shang Zhouwang's all-out conquest of Dongyi, the country was empty, and in order to avoid being attacked on both sides, the policy of "Huairou" was implemented for Zhou Wen Wang Jichang.
However, this Jichang is also a generation of British masters, playing along and taking the opportunity to grow and develop. His son, Zhou Wuwang, is also a promising young man. He seized the favorable opportunity of the fierce fighting between the Shang Dynasty and Dongyi, and gained strength to capture Chao Ge, the capital of Yin.
Li could do nothing, so he had to hastily organize barbarian prisoners of war to resist the attack in Konoha. The temporarily organized army has no fighting capacity and the prisoners of war have no loyalty.
The result can be imagined.
Yin Jun rout, rate of combatively to rush. Helpless, Shang Zhouwang had to set himself on fire in Lutai at the age of 60, that is, BC 1046.
From then on, the Shang Dynasty, which ruled for 554 years, ended, and the hero Zhou Wang Di Xin passed away with full regrets.
However, "the green hills cannot be covered."
Although the Shang Dynasty was defeated by Shang Zhouwang and Di Xin, its great achievements are still facts and cannot be erased.
Historical facts prove that Shang Zhouwang is not a barren and heartless bad king. Of course, he also has some problems and shortcomings. For example, Beagan was killed by him for disturbing the morale of the army. Shang Zhouwang fought against Dongyi for a long time, ignoring the development of Jichang and others. This also shows that he is somewhat immature in strategic consideration and control of complex situations.
Of course, Shang Zhouwang was unlucky, but he met Zhou Wenwang Jichang and his son Zhou Wuwang Ji Fa, which led to his tragic ending.
Shang Zhouwang's talent in the world was banned, and because of the long-term negative publicity of a great fairy tale "Romance of the Gods", the so-called success or failure was decided, so that a generation of lean Shang Zhouwang and Di Xin were hacked for three thousand years.
It can be said that Di Xin of Shang Zhouwang was the most hacked emperor in history.
This can only be a pity.
