King Zhou went to Nuwa Palace to eat incense. After seeing the peerless face of the sacred statue of Nuwa , he was fascinated and wrote a lewd poem on the pink wall of Nuwa Palace. Nuwa, as a congenital saint, naturally could not tolerate King Zhou's shameless behavior, so he passed on a decree to let the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb go to confuse King Zhou, thus achieving the goal of chaotic Zhou's country. After
, the nine-tailed vixen, the head of the three demons, mixed into the palace with the body of Daji, and successfully gained the favor of King Zhou. In this way, under the charm of Daji, King Zhou not only killed many important officials of Zhou Zhou of Shang, such as Mei Bo, Zhao Qi, etc., and even the mother of the main palace, Empress Jiang, could not escape the misfortune and eventually died in prison.
Of course, it is precisely because of King Zhou's debauchery that many civil and military officials who were originally loyal to Zhou of Shang abandoned Shang and joined Zhou, such as Huang Feihu , Su Hu , Deng Jiugong , etc. However, among the many ministers of Zhou of Shang, there was one who was loyal to Zhou of Shang from beginning to end, and even knew that King Zhou was debauchery and incompetent. This person was the Grand Master of Zhou of Shang Wen Zhong .
For Zhou of Shang, Wen Zhong was like a "white jade pillar to lift the sky, purple gold beams to build the sea". This can be seen from the fact that before he attacked Xiqi, after learning that the North Sea had rebelled against Yuan Futong , Wen Zhong directly spent fifteen years to quell the rebellion. After returning triumphantly, he encountered the East Sea with rebellion against King Pingling. In this case, Wen Zhong led his troops to quell the rebellion.
Of course, Wen Zhong also was disappointed with King Zhou. That is, after learning about King Zhou's debauchery, Wen Zhong directly warned King Zhou in the form of "Chen Shi Ce". Despite this, he did not give up on the idea of Shang Zhou, but rushed to the battlefield of Xiqi non-stop, just to save the already tragic Zhou of Shang, and until his life was lost, Juelongling still cared about King Zhou of Shang, and a soul returned to Chaoge to warn King Zhou. From this we can see that Wen Zhong's loyalty to Zhou Shang was engraved into his bones.
So the question is, why is Wen Zhong so loyal to Shang Zhou? For this, let me tell you what I know!
The reason why Wen Zhong was so loyal to Shang Zhou was in Tang Gu's opinion that there were only the following two reasons:
1, the teacher's order was difficult to violate; In addition to being the Grand Tutor of Shang Zhou, Wen Zhong also has another identity as Jieshua disciples. His teacher was one of the four disciples of the leader of Tongtian Sect. According to the original text of the Conquest of God: I realized the truth at that time and studied the art for fifty years when I was a disciple of the Golden Spirit Virgin at Biyou Palace . My teacher ordered me to go down the mountain to serve with soup.
Although Wen Zhong only studied art with the Holy Mother of Jinling for fifty years, he has the first-class strength of the Earth Immortal. In addition to his talent, it is naturally inseparable from the careful teaching of his mentor Jinling Holy Mother of Jinling. Wen Zhong must be very grateful to his mentor. When the Holy Mother of Jinling asked him to go down the mountain to assist the Shang Dynasty, Wen Zhong naturally had to support the Shang Dynasty with all his heart and responsibilities. It is precisely because of this that he was loyal to King Zhou, and even if King Zhou made a mistake, he would never leave him.
2, repay the kindness of the previous kings; By the time of King Zhou, Wen Zhong had already assisted in the three generations of kings of the Shang Dynasty. When King Zhou's father, Emperor Yi , he entrusted both King Zhou and the Shang Dynasty to Wen Zhong. In other words, Wen Zhong was the entrusted important minister of the previous king, and Wen Zhong naturally tried his best to repay the kindness of the previous king's knowledge. Even though they knew that the Shang Dynasty had no power to turn the world back, they still ran around to seek help from their fellow disciples, trying to change their destiny for the Shang Dynasty against the will of heaven, but in the end they died in the battlefield of Xiqi because they were unable to violate the destiny.
above are two reasons why Wen Zhong is so loyal to Shang Zhou, that is, his teacher's orders are difficult to violate the grace of repaying the previous king's knowledge. Of course, it is precisely because of this that he ended up in the end of the Xiqi battlefield.
