Shen Hou

Shen Hou (year of birth and death unknown), surnamed Jiang, was born in Shen state (now Nanyang City, Henan Province). Her daughter was the queen of Zhou Youwang, and she gave birth to a son Yijiu, who was named the crown prince. Later, he was abandoned by king you of Zhou Dynasty and appointed Bao Si as the empress. His son Bo Fu was the prince. Yijiu fled to the kingdom of Shen, and the Marquis of Shen united with the kingdom of ZA and the Western dog army to attack the king of you. You wang and Bo Fu were both killed in the opera by Gou Rong (now Lintong East, Shaanxi). In 771 BC, the Western Zhou dynasty fell. After the death of king you, marquis Shen, marquis Zeng and Duke Xu established the original crown prince Yijiu in Shen and moved his capital to Luoyi as king Ping of Zhou Dynasty. It was established in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

The grandson was abandoned

At the end of the Western Zhou Dynasty, when king you of the Zhou Dynasty ascended the throne, he appointed Guo Shifu, who was good at profit, to be in power. The government was corrupt, which aroused resentment among the Chinese people. In the third year, he defeated Liu Ji's army. At the same time, natural disasters occurred frequently, which made the rule of the Zhou Dynasty difficult at home and abroad.

At this time, the king of you changed to take Baosi as the queen, and his son jibofu as the crown prince. As a result, Yijiu fled to the state of Shen, angering the Marquis of Shen.

The destruction of the Western Zhou Dynasty

Shen houding
Guo Shifu, a treacherous minister, took the opportunity to slander king you of Zhou Dynasty. King you of Zhou was in a rage and prepared to launch an army against Shen. The Marquis Shen knew that his country was weak and his power was solitary, and he could not compete with Zhou. So he used the strategy of preemptive attack to encircle the capital of Chou city with 15000 dog soldiers before king you's army was dispatched. The king of Zhou you was defeated by the Shenrong coalition because he didn't get ready and didn't respond to the call for help. King you of Zhou and Guo Shifu were defeated and killed, and the Western Zhou Dynasty perished.

Later, marquis Shen, marquis Lu, and Xu Wengong established the original crown prince Yijiu in Shen, who was king Ping of Zhou and worshipped Zhou.

History of Shenguo

In the Zhou Dynasty, after the four mountains, they were granted the position of Earl in Shen, known as Shenbo in the world, and Hou in the later Jin Dynasty. The Shen people of the Shen tribe take electricity as their totem (LV Yiyun, Shen Yidian, the word Shen is lightning shaped, which indicates the twin cell relationship between the two nationalities), and live in the northeast of Meixian County, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province.

In 823 B.C., Shenbo, the mother's uncle of King Xuan of Zhou, was re appointed Earl of Shenguo, and his capital was located in Xieyi (now near Nanyang City, Henan Province, and the site is xiejiazhuang, Cangtai Township, Huyang Town, Tanghe County). His descendants took the fiefdom as their surname, called the Xie family.
