According to the information, it is said that Emperor Fa is the son of Emperor Fa, but Emperor Fa was only 16 years old even when he died, so he can't let a baby sit on the throne! It's about the same age as the hair onset. It was when he was young that he was reluctant to listen to the minister's advice, and he was probably rebellious. And he didn't serve three years of mourning, and he couldn't wait to take the throne without even a year.

He is both civil and military, and he can straighten the iron hook with his bare hands, but he is absurd and tyrannical. He is arrogant and lascivious, his life is corrupt, and he collects beautiful women from all over the world to fill the harem.

In 1766, Ji began to build the tilting palace, decorate the Yaotai, make the Qiong room, and set up the jade gate, so that the people were poor and poor.

In the same year, Yiyi entered Qidi and united with the local barbarians to launch a rebellion.

In 1763, after three years of fighting, the Yi and the local barbarians were conquered by the Jie and came to worship as a sign of submission.

When Xia Ji first succeeded to the throne, he had the ambition and ambition to revitalize the Xia Dynasty, and he was invincible and invincible, and all the princes were afraid and surrendered. Carried away by the constant military victories, he compares himself to the sun and begins to become violent and unreasonable. He was arrogant and lascivious, favored his courtiers, tyrannical and unreasonable, and brutally oppressed and enslaved the people and the tribes to which he belonged, causing widespread hatred and opposition. Because since Kong Jia's reign, many princes have rebelled against Xia one after another, and Ji did not cultivate virtue and used force to hurt the clan of hundreds of officials, and the hundred officials could not bear it. So they defected. The rule of the Xia Dynasty was stormy, and the country was in decline.

In 1759, there was a major drought in the Central Plains.

In 1758, Xia Wei held an alliance meeting, but the kingdom of Yi did not arrive, and there was an open rebellion. Xia Wei decided to destroy Youyi. The war with Youyi caused Xia Wei to lose his elite division. Since Xia Wei destroyed the Youyi clan, the contradictions within the ruling class have intensified.

In 1756, he moved his capital to the south of the Yellow River to avoid the threat of the Shang Dynasty. In this year, the chariot was invented.

In 1755, when the Minshan clan rebelled, the Minshan clan was ordered to cut down the Minshan clan, and the Minshan clan could not cope with it, so it was dedicated to the two women. One Wan, one Yan. He loved the two daughters, but the two daughters had no children, so they engraved their names in the jade of Tiaohua, which is Wan and Hua. And abandoned the Yuan Concubine sister Xi Shi to Luo.

In 1754, after the death of the prince Gui, he was succeeded by his son Tang as the marquis of Shang. The soup is also known as the shoe, and the ancient book says: "There are seven soups". It is found in the records: soup, Cheng soup, Wu soup, Shang Tang, Tianyi, Tianyi soup. In the oracle bone inscription, it is called Tang, Cheng, Da Yi, and Tianyi. In the Jin Wen and Zhou Yuan oracle bone inscriptions, it is called Cheng Tang. Tianyi, Da Yi, and Gaozu B are the temple numbers called by the descendants of the Shang clan when they sacrifice to the soup. In ancient books, he was also honored as King Wu.

Grandfather: Lord Ren (also known as Shiren)

Father: Lord Decay (also known as She)

Sons: Taiding, Wai C, Zhong Ren

Grandson: Taijia (son of Taiding)

The Shang Kingdom started from the Ancestral Deed, and by the time it arrived at Tang, it had already moved the capital eight times. In order to prepare for the destruction of summer, Shang Tang expanded and called it Boyi. Tang settled in Bo to create favorable conditions for the battle to destroy Xia. It was here to store food and grass, recruit men and horses, and train troops.

Shang Tang once went out and saw a farmer in a lush forest hanging a net to catch birds, hanging on all sides. When the net was hung up, the farmer bowed to heaven a few times, then knelt on the ground and prayed, "Heaven forbid, the net is hanged, and may all those that fly down from heaven and those that come out of the earth come into my net." When Tang heard this, he said with great emotion: "Only Xia Wei can be so full of nets! If he opens his net like this, he will be completely caught! This is really cruel." Then he told the servants to remove the net that hung on three sides, leaving only one side. Shang Tang also knelt down and prayed to the net: "Those who fly in the sky, those who walk underground, those who want to run to the left, fly to the left, those who want to run to the right, fly to the right, and those who are disobedient should drill into the net." After saying that, he said to the farmer and the people, we must also have a benevolent heart in dealing with birds and beasts, and we must not catch them all, and those who do not obey the mandate of heaven are still a minority, and we must catch those who do not obey the mandate of heaven. When the princes heard about this, they all praised him and said: Tang Zhen is a virtuous king. The farmer was also deeply moved, so he did as he did, and took away one side of the net, leaving three sides. This is the idiom story of "opening the net on one side" that has been passed down to later generations.

After Shang Tang intermarried with Youxin, he used the virtuous ministers Yi Yin and Zhong Yu as the left and right ministers, and used Bo as a base to advance, actively governing the country, and preparing to destroy Xia. His left and right phases, Yi Yin, are two people with completely different backgrounds and experiences.

Zhong Yu was a slave owner who had been an official in the Xia Dynasty for generations since his ancestors.

Yi Yin was a slave who lived a wandering life since he was a teenager, and later became a slave to Shang Tang's wife, who made him work in the kitchen. Yi Yin is very talented, and in order to make the soup discover, he deliberately makes the dishes sometimes delicious, and sometimes salty or bland. Once, when Tang questioned him about this matter, he took the opportunity to talk to Tang about his views on governing the country. Tang was amazed, knowing that he was a virtuous man, so he exempted him from the status of a slave and appointed him as the right minister.

Shang Tang went to see Yi Yin and asked Peng's son to drive him. The son of the Peng family asked Shang Tang on the way, "Where are you going?" and Shang Tang replied, "I will go to see Yi Yin." The son of the Peng family said, "Yi Yin is just a man in the world who has been a slave." If you must see him, just order him to be summoned and ask him, and this is a blessing for him!" Shang Tang said, "This is not what you know. If there is a medicine here now, and after taking it, my ears will be more sensitive and my eyes will be brighter, then I will definitely like it and try to take it. Now Yi Yin is like a good medicine for my country, but you don't want me to see Yi Yin, this is because you don't want me to be good!" So he told Peng's son to go down and stopped him from driving.

Since then, under Yi Yin's planning, Tang has actively prepared to destroy Xia.

They are all very talented, seeing Xia Ji's tyranny, cruelty to the people, not caring about production, only knowing lewd pleasures, causing the people to curse, the princes to defect, knowing that the fall of the Xia Dynasty is not far away. They wanted to relieve the suffering of the people, and they could only do it by supporting a powerful prince and overthrowing Xia Wei's rule. They saw that Shang's power was the most powerful among the vassal states in the East, and they thought that Shang Tang was an ideal prince, so they came to Shang Tang through different channels.

Tang is a gentleman who knows talents, and appoints two people as the left and right ministers. With the assistance of Zhong Yu and Yi Yin, Shang Tang first managed the interior and encouraged the people in the Shang-ruled area to farm and raise livestock with peace of mind. At the same time, unite the princes and Fang countries that are friendly with business. Under the benevolence and righteousness of Shang Tang and the instigation of Zhong Yu and Yi Yin, some princes rebelled against Xia and returned to Shang, and the number of princes who returned to Shang soon increased to forty, and Shang Tang's power became bigger and bigger.
