Some people say that after King Zhou 's death, the human race will no longer have the luck, and from then on, there will be no nine-nine human emperors in the world, only the emperor.
So why would such a cruel and foolish monarch become the last human emperor in the world?
What exactly is human emperor ?
King Zhou was the last king of the Shang Dynasty and the last human emperor. During his reign, King Zhou was debauchery and used treacherous ministers. Everyone knew that the Shang Dynasty would surely perish, but they were still willing to work hard for him because he was the human emperor.
In 1600 BC, Xia Jie was cruel and unkind. A gentry with birds as totem quietly rose up in the lower reaches of the Yellow River . The leader of this gentry led them to raise troops to attack Xia, overthrew the Xia Dynasty and established the Shang Dynasty.
The Shang Dynasty lasted for more than 500 years in history, and the most well-known emperor was the last emperor of the Shang Dynasty - Emperor Xin .
Di Xin was very smart when he was young, talented, outstanding in eloquence, and extraordinary in strength. He could fight wild beasts with bare hands. It is precisely because he was different from ordinary people since he was a child that made his mind very precocious.
In the eyes of the ministers, Di Xin is a very violent and cunning person. Whenever he makes a mistake, he can always use his wisdom to cover up his mistakes, making people unable to find any reason.
If he was just arrogant at the beginning, then after he ascended the throne, he would completely indulge himself.
Di Xin has one of his biggest hobbies, which is to drink and enjoy and pamper women. He gathers all the wealth of the world into his hands, not only filling the money treasury, but also filling the granary with grain.
The people were hungry all over the world, but as the king, he was greedy for pleasure. There were 3,000 beauties in the palace, and even built a wine and meat pond for his own enjoyment.
One of the things that King Zhou had criticized was disrespect for the gods.
people believe in gods and worship them everywhere in the world. However, King Zhou is an exception and he is unmoved to let the ministers advise.
Once, the ministers advised King Zhou to worship Nuwa . Who knew that King Zhou didn’t know who Nuwa was at all. Instead, he asked very arrogantly: “What kind of merits does Nuwa have? I went to bring incense with all my might?”
Prime Minister would answer: “Nuwa Niangniang is an ancient goddess. At that time, Gonggong head touched Buzhou Mountain, the sky was tilted northwest, and the earth was sank to the southeast. Nuwa picked -color stone and refined it to repair the blue sky, so it made contributions to the people.”
King Zhou could only agree to worship ruthlessly when he heard the prime minister say this, but although he agreed to worship, he was very disrespectful to the statue of Nuwa when he arrived at Nuwa Palace.
Di Xin saw Nuwa's statue graceful figure and outstanding appearance, and actually developed a frivolous heart. He also gave a lyrics, meaning that Nuwa's behavior was enchanting, and would be great if she could serve the king.
Because of this, Nuwa above the Nine Heavens was completely angered, so she found three little demons to charm Emperor Xin to destroy the Shang Dynasty.
The reason why King Zhou dared to be disrespectful to the gods was not because he was extremely debauched, but because he was the human emperor and an existence on an equal footing with the gods. Why do you say so?
King Zhou was flirting with Nuwa. Why didn’t Nuwa, who had boundless magic, personally teach King Zhou, but instead sent the nine-tailed fox demon to charm him?
Is it because Nuwa has a noble identity and is disdainful to take action?
In fact, the answer is surprising. Nuwa dared not touch King Zhou at all!
Before the demise of the Shang Dynasty, the human world was led by Three Emperors and Five Emperors . Among them, the three Emperors refer to the Emperor, Earth Emperor , and the Human Emperor. Among them, the Emperor is Fuxi, the Creation God of the Human race, and the righteous god who blesses the country like Nuwa.
Dihuang is the son of Fuxi, that is, Shennong , and the human emperor Xuanyuan is the son of Dihuang. So since Fuxi is the righteous god, the human emperor, as a descendant of Fuxi, of course, has the same status as him.
So in King Zhou's eyes, although the people in the world worship gods, as the human emperor, he is on par with the gods above the nine heavens. Everyone is equal, and there is no distinction between high and low.
In the 600-year history of the Shang Dynasty, rulers of all dynasties have been kings during their lifetime and after their death. The former Shang King has worshipped the Emperor of Heaven, but this Emperor of Heaven is not that Emperor of Heaven. They worshipped their ancestors, not the Emperor of Heaven in Heaven.
Shang King is the Human Emperor and is on par with the Heavenly Emperor. Then the people of Shang King are on par with the Gods and Immortals. The people can worship the Heavenly Emperor, but the Shang King will not worship.
Because of this, before the Battle of the Gods, gods and immortals were everywhere, just like the people of the Shang King, there was nothing strange about it. However, after the Battle of the Gods, gods and immortals went above the nine heavens and became high-ranking beings.
From then on, there were fewer gods and immortals, so naturally things became precious. Therefore, the people were very excited to see gods occasionally and kneel down and worshipped at any time. This tradition was passed down.
Then since King Zhou is the Human Emperor, he naturally has Ziwei true qi protecting his body. This true qi ensures the safety of the Human Emperor's life, and all laws are not invaded and all evil people avoid it.
No matter whether it is a god or a demon, it will not cause harm to him.
Nuwa wanted to teach her a lesson in person after learning that Emperor Xin was flirting with her, but before she arrived at Emperor Xin's palace, she was blocked by an invisible gas.
This gas is Ziwei's true energy. As long as the country of the Shang Dynasty is immortal, Ziwei's true energy will continue to stop and Nuwa will be unable to get close to her.
So under the last resort, Nuwa could only send three demons to charm King Zhou. As long as the country of the Shang Dynasty was destroyed, she could kill Emperor Xin, and this was the case that hindered the government.
So since King Zhou is so stupid, why can he still become the Human Emperor?
In fact, before Daji appeared, King Zhou also made some achievements. According to historical records, Emperor Xin once conquered Dongyi , expanded his territory to the southeast, and developed the Yangtze River basin.
also implemented a series of reform measures, opposing theocracy, reforming old customs, breaking the aristocratic hereditary system of slaves, and was a pioneer in the unification of China in ancient times.
It is precisely because of Emperor Xin's outstanding achievements that many gods gathered under his hands and assisted him wholeheartedly. This is the evidence that Emperor Xin is the Human Emperor.
So since the emperor before the Shang Dynasty was the Human Emperor, there was no longer the existence of the Human Emperor after the demise of the Shang Dynasty?
Why after King Zhou's death, there is no Nine Nine Human Emperor in the world, but only Nine Five Emperors?
is actually the division point in the Battle of the Gods.
Nuwa planned the demise of Zhou Zhou of Shang. After the war of the Gods, all the meritorious ministers were conferred one by one, and the beginning of the conferred gods was also the beginning of the human world bowing to the heavens.
Before the beginning of in the Zhou Dynasty, the heaven had not established affiliation with the human world, so the human world was not under the jurisdiction of the Emperor of Heaven, but the Emperor of Heaven and the Emperor of Heaven each performed their duties, and both sides were equal.
In " Zhouyi ", the number "nine" represents Wuji and is also the highest among the positive numbers. Then the human emperor who unifies the world is called "Nine Nine Human Emperor".
After the war of the Gods Enthronement ended, the Shang Dynasty was destroyed, the human world bowed to the heavens, and the heavens became the supreme existence among the three realms. The emperor on earth was downgraded to the next level and called himself the "Son of Heaven".
We always believe that the ancient emperors called the emperor because they believed that they were the "son of heaven". In fact, the emperor means "the son of heaven".
Since the emperor on earth is one level lower than the Emperor of Heaven, he cannot be called the Emperor of Nine Nine. In the "Book of Changes", the number "Five" is centered, representing a symbol of authority, and from then on it has become the "Nine Five Lords".
In addition, there is another legend about the Human Emperor.
Before the Shang Dynasty, the Human Emperor not only lived long because of his luck, but also had abilities far beyond ordinary people. For example, King Zhou was extremely powerful and had the power of being in a turbulent manner, because he was blessed with luck.
Before Daji appeared, King Zhou had outstanding achievements, because he was surrounded by luck. Later, King Zhou became more and more cruel because his luck gradually disappeared.
But since the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, the emperor on earth has bowed his head to the heavens, and since then there is no human emperor, and the emperor on earth has gradually lost his luck.
So have you discovered that since then, the kings of all dynasties have the emperor of the ages such as Qin Shihuang , the son of the plane such as Liu Xiu , and the only female emperor such as Wu Zetian , etc.
There may be many unique legends on them, but there is no record of being as powerful as King Zhou.
It has been more than three thousand years since Emperor Xin, and the age has been too long. The records of the Battle of Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Battle of Gods, and the "Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors" have been completely deified.
Although many records are serious, we have never seen them with our own eyes. Many incredible things have long exceeded people's cognition, so people only regard these as some myths and don't take them seriously.
So do you think the so-called human emperor really exists in history? What is the real situation?
