When Emperor Yu was introduced earlier, Chongli served as the Huozheng official of Emperor Gao Xin's clan (the casting official of bronze weapons and sacrificial vessels, with a high position), and made great contributions, and the whole world heard of his name.

Emperor Yu was worried that Chongli would continue to grow his power and pose a threat to his position, so at that time, the rest of the Gonggong clan was in turmoil, and Emperor Yu sent Chongli Shuaibu to attack the Gonggong clan, so that it would be beneficial to win or lose. The rest of the Gonggong clan is so easy to fight, although Chongli was defeated, but although the Gonggong clan was defeated, its strength was not reduced, and it adopted the method of dispersed guerrillas, and it was always entangled. Emperor Yu took the opportunity to make trouble and ordered Chongli to be executed on Gengyin Day, and in order not to let people gossip, Chongli's mediocre younger brother Wu Hui was established as the lord of the Zhurong clan, and still served as Huozheng.

The descendants of Wu Hui established Kunwu, Dapeng, Fengwei and other states. In the Shang Dynasty, the descendants of Chongli were sealed in Chengdi to renew the Chongli incense.

In the thirtieth year of Wuyi (BC1129), Ji Lishuai Zhou Shi conquered many smaller Rongdi tribes around him, and crusaded against the Rong people in the north such as Yiqu, captured the leader of the Yiqu tribe, and presented the spoils and captives to the king of Shang, which was a major celebration ceremony in ancient times. Shang Wang Wuyi is very happy and trusts the calendar even more.

In the thirty-fourth year of Wuyi (BC1125), as the leader of the Zhou tribe, he went to the Shang capital to worship. Because of his repeated military exploits, Wu Yi gave Ji Li 30 miles of land, 10 jade carts, and 10 horses.

In the thirty-fifth year of Wuyi (BC1124), Ji Li conquered a branch of the Guifang to the west of the Gui Fang (a branch of the Gui Fang in the north of Shanxi), captured twelve Zhai kings (tribal leaders), and achieved a brilliant victory, defending the safety of the Zhou State and ensuring the tranquility of the western Shang Dynasty.

Wu Yi, the king of Shang, was very satisfied, believing that there was nothing left to endanger his rule, so he went hunting at the junction of the Yellow River and the Wei River, not wanting to stand in a thunderstorm and be struck by lightning because he was located on the plain. The cause of Wu Yi's death was very special, he was struck by lightning and died, so it was considered his retribution, and it was his cruelty that attracted the punishment of the gods, of course, this is the statement of the priestly class.

Wending, reigned 1123-1111 BC.

Wen Ding, the surname of the child, the name of the wolf.

In 1123 BC, Wu Yi's son Wen Ding succeeded to the throne of the Shang Dynasty and was the twenty-eighth monarch of the Shang Dynasty, with Yin (Anyang, Henan) as the capital.

In the second year of Wending (BC1122), Zhou Gong Ji Li attacked Yanjing Zhirong (Fenyang City, Luliang, Shanxi) and failed, which was a rare failed battle in Ji Li.

In the third year of Wending (BC1121), Huanshui was three unique in one day. This shows that the Shang Dynasty was facing the threat of a major drought at that time.

During the Wending era, natural disasters struck one after another, and the Shang Dynasty's economy and national strength gradually weakened. Someone once made statistics that every time there is a change of dynasty, it is always accompanied by great fluctuations in the climate, either the heat is caused by drought, or the sudden drop in temperature causes the northern nomadic tribes to invade the south in search of food.

In the fourth year of Wending (BC1120), two years after the defeat of the Zhou Gong Ji calendar, he marched into Shanxi again to defeat and defeat Yu Wuzhirong (Shanxi Changzhi). Wen Ding appointed Ji Li as a priest, and the priest had the meaning of a local governor, and he had the right to conquer. Tai Ding hopes that Pastor Ji will help him settle the border.

In the fifth year of Wending (BC1119), the state of Zhou established a local government in the hometown of Cheng Guo, called Chengyi.

In the seventh year of Wending (BC1117), Zhou Gongji Li defeated and defeated Shihu Zhirong (southern Shanxi).

In the eleventh year of Wending (BC1113), Zhou Gong Jili crusaded against the Rong of the Gang (southern Shanxi) and captured his three masters, which greatly boosted his prestige.

Ji Li led the crowd to repel the surrounding nomadic tribes, seized a large amount of property, captured many captives, and became a prominent family, consolidating and developing the rule of the Zhou tribe in the upper reaches of Weishui (Guanzhong), and many princes went to Shun, making Zhou a powerful Fang state in the western Shang region, and its power developed to today's western Henan.

Wen Ding was terrified by this, fearing that the Western princes would become the wings of the Ji Li and pose a threat to the Yin Shang, and resolved to restrain the development of the Zhou.

Wen Ding ordered Ji Li to go to Yin to offer prisoners to report the victory, and Ji Li did not doubt that he had it, and took (Ji) Chang to Yin to report the victory to Wen Ding.

Wen Ding gave Gui Zan and Ji Dagger as a reward, and sealed Ji Li as "Fang Bo", known as "Zhou Xibo", which made Ji Lizhi proud, and Ji Li mistakenly thought that Wen Ding still trusted him like his father Wu Yi.

When Ji Li was about to return to Zhou, Wen Ding suddenly ordered Ji Li to be imprisoned in Seku and (Ji) Chang to be imprisoned in Yumen. Ji Li originally had no idea of rebelling against the merchants, and Ji Li, who was under house arrest, went on a hunger strike in a fit of anger and died of starvation soon after.

In order to vent his frustration, Chang wrote a song, which was widely circulated. As early as the time of Gu Gong's father, there was already the idea of destroying Shang, but because of his marriage with Shang, Ji Li actually had the intention of being loyal to Shang King Wu Yi, and Chang was Wu Yi's grandson, and he was related to the Shang Dynasty, so there was no reason to overthrow Shang. However, Wen Ding's actions strengthened Ji Chang's determination to destroy Shang, and all of Hou Chang's actions were to prepare for his father's revenge and the destruction of Shang. If Ji Li had not been killed, there were two possibilities, one was that Ji Li was anti-Shang and overthrew Shang rule in advance, but from the perspective of Ji Li's loyalty, this possibility is unlikely, and the other possibility is that Zhou would no longer have the determination to oppose Shang and become a loyal supporter of the Shang Dynasty, which is more likely, after all, Ji Chang's mother was a Shang Dynasty royal family.

Ji Li, who had repeatedly performed in war, was executed for no reason, and the princes of all countries felt indignant, and under the strong appeal of the subjects of the Zhou Dynasty, the princes of all countries jointly requested the release of Chang.

In the twelfth year of Wending (the first year of King Wen of Zhou, BC1112), Chang was forty years old at this time, Wending could not withstand the pressure, and Ji Li, who could conquer and fight, had been killed, forgive a Chang who had never been on the battlefield could no longer threaten the foundation of Shang, so Chang was released back to Zhou, and after Chang was released and returned to China, he was soon embraced as the monarch of Zhou, because Ji Li was named Xibo before his death, and Ji Chang also attacked the lord as Xibo, and the Xibo Marquis referred to by later generations was Ji Chang. This year, there is a phoenix singing in Qishan, which seems to indicate that the era of Chang is coming.

In the thirteenth year of Wending (BC1111), Wending died with a smile after temporarily solving the threat of the Zhou State to the Shang Dynasty.

Wen Ding had three sons, the eldest son Jizi, the second son Diyi, and the third son Bigan.
