The story of Xia Jie seems incredible today. Xia Jie was the last monarch of the Xia Dynasty. He was also a tyrannical monarch who only knew how to enjoy himself. According to the records, Xia Jie was able to be civil and military, and could have become the emperor of Ming Dynasty, but he did not use his talent in state affairs.
The story of Xia Jie
He came up with a lot of cruel torture, which is still unimaginable. Xia Jie likes extravagant life. He ordered people to build nine columns made of gold in the palace, and each column is shining with stars. Behind the luxury is the painstaking efforts of the common people. Throughout the palace, meat was piled up everywhere, and life was extremely luxurious. Xia Jie ordered people to build a five kilometer wine pool. The area is very exaggerated. Occasionally, Xia Jie rowed a boat with beautiful women in the bow and stern. Xia Jie shuttled through the wine pool and had fun with the beautiful women. Xia Jie's happiest time was when the palace held a banquet. The banquet palace can accommodate more than 3000 people to play, which is enough to see the vast area. Xia Jie ordered the civil and military officials and the people attending the banquet to stretch their necks and drink in the wine pool. Under the music of the drum band, 3000 people drank together. The scene was very spectacular. In addition, Xia Jie also invented a torture, renamed "paoluo", which means that the painting on the copper column is thick with ointment. Under the copper pillar, there was a burning charcoal fire. Xia Jie asked the bodyguard to take the criminal to the main hall. The criminals were ordered to walk on the copper pillars, and it was very difficult for them to walk because they were smeared with ointment. Accidentally fell into the exuberant charcoal fire, Xia Jie looked at the criminals fell in the charcoal fire, issued a tragic voice, Xia Jie showed a very happy look.
Xia Jie's subjugation
At the end of the Xia Dynasty, social contradictions became increasingly acute. In addition, Xia Jie was immoral and wantonly ransacked people's fat and cream, which caused people to complain. There was a minister named Guan Longfeng in the court of Xia Dynasty. Seeing the signs of the decline of Xia Dynasty, he went to advise Xia Jie that he should attach importance to state affairs and should not be so degenerate.

The story of Xia Dynasty
After hearing this, Xia Jie was very angry. He said to Guan Longfeng, "I am like the sun in the sky. Will the sun perish? Only when the sun perishes, will I perish." Naively, Xia Jie believed that there would never be a day when the rule of the Xia Dynasty was declining. Xia Jie also called the tribal leaders to attack other tribes. The leaders of the tribes in the Xia Dynasty did not listen to Xia Jie's orders, which provided an opportunity for Shang Tang to destroy Xia.
The Shang people lived in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. After the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, the Shang people became a subsidiary of the Xia Dynasty and paid tribute to the Xia Dynasty every year. The nomadic industry of Shang nationality developed rapidly, and then developed into a powerful subsidiary country, whose economic strength far exceeded that of Xia Dynasty. When Shang Tang became the leader, he had already taken measures. He first appointed Yi Yin and Zhong Hui as important officials, and Yi Yin and Zhong Hui were resourceful and resourceful to provide strategies for the destruction of Xia. In addition, Shangtang has employed a lot of talents. As long as there is real talent and learning, Shangtang will be promoted. Later, Shangtang destroyed Ge, Wei and other affiliated countries. At this time, Xia Jie was like a turtle in a jar, waiting for Shang Tang to arrest him. Shang Tang tried Xia Jie for not paying tribute. Xia Jie was so angry that he led his troops to attack Shang Tang. Shang Tang further expanded his forces and waited for the opportunity. Soon after, Xia Jie was abandoned by the tribes and ministers, and every feudal lord did not listen to Xia Jie's command. At this time, Shang Tang led his troops to attack the Xia palace and destroyed the Xia Dynasty.
Xia Jie's atrocity
Xia Jie is a famous Hun Jun in history, and his evil deeds are numerous. First of all, Xia Jie was licentious. He robbed many women in the whole country and put them into his harem for fun. At the beginning, Shi's tribe prepared to attack Xia Jie because they could not bear the oppression of Xia Jie. In order to stabilize his rule, Xia Jie sent troops to subdue Shi, and asked Shi's leader to marry him.
Xia Jie and Mei Xi
Xie Xi has the beauty of the whole country. After Xia Jie got her, he became more licentious. He held her in his arms all day and drank with her. Xia Jie was in the palace, playing with the maids, not going to the morning court all day. In his later years, Xia Jie was even more ridiculous. He ordered people to build a big pool, called "night Palace". He took a group of men and women to play in the pool every day and didn't go to the early court for several months.
In addition, Xia Jie madly oppressed the people and built large-scale projects, which led to the people's livelihood, and condemned Xia Jie's atrocities one after another. After Xia Jie got Zhen Xi, he heard that he liked to watch others drink, so he built a big pool, big enough to take a boat in it. Pour a large amount of wine into the pool, and order people to row a boat in the pool to drink wine. At that time, a minister named Guan longfu persuaded Xia Jie, who immediately executed him. He likes to hear the sound of silk tearing. Xia Jie asks the palace maids to take a large number of silk and tear it to him. At that time, silk was very valuable and rare. In order to win a smile from the beauty, Xia Jie was furious with the natural things.
Xia Jie didn't listen to the advice of the loyal and righteous people, went his own way, and finally broke the Xia regime. The ministers in the court could not stand Xia Jie's behavior. Some of them dared to be angry and some of them risked their lives to give advice to Xia Jie. The minister's persuasion made Xia Jie very angry. Almost all the ministers who came to advise were executed by Xia Jie.
Xia Jie is a famous Hun Jun in history. He is the last ruler of Xia Dynasty, and Zhen Xi is the queen of Xia Jie. As for she Xi, later generations will call her beauty disaster. The earliest written record of Xie Xi appeared in Guoyu, which said: "in the past Xia Dynasty, there was Shi in Jie's cutting, and there were Shi people who liked his daughter Yan, and he liked his beloved, so he almost died compared with Yi Yin."
According to history, the appearance of Yi Xi and Yi Yin made the Xia Dynasty perish. During the reign of Xia Jie, the people suffered from tyranny. She was a princess of Shi tribe and paid tribute to Xia Dynasty every year. Shi could not bear the excessive demands of the Xia Dynasty, so he planned to attack the Xia Dynasty. In order to consolidate his position, Xia Jie sent troops to fight against Shi. Although Shi's tribe was powerful, it could not resist the joint attack of Xia Dynasty and other tribes. After a few months of resistance, Shi surrendered again. Xia Jie put forward the condition of peace, that is to marry Shi's most beautiful princess Zhen Xi to him. Shi had no choice but to marry Xie Xi to Xia Jie. After Xia Jie got Xie Xi, he was even more licentious. According to legend, Xia Jie often held him in his arms and let him drink with him. He likes to watch people drinking in the wine pool, listen to the tearing sound of silk and wear men's clothes. Xia Jie built a big wine pool for rowing in order to please Zhen Xi. He ordered 3000 drinking masters to drink in the pool. Some of them died in the pool. In addition, Xia Jie, in order to win Xie Xi's laughter, orders his maid to move the silk and tear it one by one in front of her face. She is very happy to hear that. Xia Jie's profligacy led to the direct destruction of Xia Dynasty. Soon after, Shang Tang destroyed the Xia Dynasty, and Zhen Xi and Xia Jie died together.
