Mondo History Updated on 2024-01-31

桀, also known as 癸, 履癸. The last monarch of the Xia Dynasty. Son of Hair. Legend has it that he was talented, sexually tyrannical, and addicted to alcohol and lust. After ascending the throne, they are all in the pour.

The ancestor of the tyrant.

After his death, Ji succeeded to the throne, the national fortunes of the Xia Dynasty began to decline again, his mood was uncertain, and the minister's life was not guaranteed if he didn't pay attention to what he said, so everyone was in danger.

The minister cried and admonished all the time, so he entered the palace and cried to Xia Wei and said: "Since ancient times, emperors have been diligent and thrifty and cherish the people's strength, so that they can be loved by the people. The blood and sweat of the people cannot be provided for the entertainment of one person. Such a luxury can only destroy the country. Xia Wei was very impatient when he heard this, and reprimanded Zhong Gu for being nosy, Zhong Gu knew that Xia Ji was incorrigible, and knew in his heart that Xia must perish, so he went to Shang Tang, Guan Longfeng also said something similar, Xia Wei listened, was very angry, and ordered Guan Long to be killed.

The countdown to the fall of the Xia Dynasty, Xia Wei killed or his loyal ministers abandoned him, and Xia Wei also lost the hearts of the people more and more, and the people betrayed and left. In his later years, he became even more debaucherous, the Xia royal family was not repaired, external troubles continued, class contradictions became increasingly acute, the people were not able to make a living, and crises were everywhere. But Xia Wei did not want to forge ahead, and eventually perished.

Disaster in disguise. Yu Xi was the daughter of the Youshi clan (i.e., the Youshi tribe, in present-day Mengyin County, Shandong Province). During the reign of Xia Wei, he launched a large army to attack the Shi clan, and some Shi soldiers were defeated and sued for peace, offering their cattle, sheep, horses, and beauties, including Yuxi. After Xia Wei got Yuxi, he was very fond of her.

Appoint traitors. The so-called pro-virtuous ministers, far villains, Xia Wei reused traitorous ministers and squeezed out virtuous ministers. He reused a villain named Zhao Liang, who specialized in what he liked, and taught him how to have fun, how to blackmail and kill the people.

Into the soup to cut the tree. After these problems were not resolved and the contradictions continued to be planned, Tang then raised troops to command the princes, attacked the Xia Dynasty, and finally, fought a decisive battle with the Xia Dynasty in Mingtiao, and established the Shang Dynasty.

Summary: Xia Wei is politically perverse, close to the villain, far from the gentleman, rigid and self-serving, listening to slander, the internal contradictions within the ruling group, the struggle is fierce, the wheel of history is rolling forward, and the Shang Dynasty is in the ascendant!
