In the first year of Qi Huan's reign (68 1 BC in the 13th year of Duke Zhuang of Lu), Qi Huangong, assisted by Guan Zhong, ruled Qi and made Qiang Bing rich. In order to compete for hegemony in the name of the king of Zhou, Qi Huangong accepted Guan Zhong's suggestion and put forward the slogan of "respecting the king and rejecting foreign countries", saying that he would honor the king of Zhou and resist the attack and plunder of the central plains by ethnic minorities, and immediately sent envoys to congratulate the Zhou Dynasty. King Zhou was very happy to see that Qi was so respectful, so he immediately entrusted to convene governors and recognized Duke Huan of Song as the monarch. Qi Huangong was a vassal of Beixing (now Donge County, Shandong Province) in the State of Qi, and became a vassal leader.
In the spring of the second year of the Zhou Dynasty (in the 14th year of Duke Zhuang of Lu in 680 BC), Qi, Chen and Cao joined forces to attack the Song Dynasty. Qi Huangong asked the king of Zhou to send troops. In the summer of the same year, Zhou Wang sent Khan Yubo to lead troops to meet the governors, make peace with the Song State, and return home.
In the winter of the fourth year after Zhou Wang's death (in 678 BC in the 16th year of Duke Zhuang of Lu), Qu Wo, the monarch of the State of Jin, attacked and killed the monarch of the State of Jin and annexed the land of the State of Jin. Qu Wowu bribed Zhou Wang with all his treasures. Therefore, the king of Zhou acknowledged the legal status of Qu Wogong, sent Guo Gong to order Qu Wogong to build the army, and officially conferred him as the monarch of the State of Jin and the Duke of Wu of Jin.
In the spring of the Wu year of Zhou Wang (677 BC, the seventeenth year of Duke Zhuang of Lu), Zhou Wang died and posthumous title Wang (also known as Nuo Wang) died. After Zhou Wang's death, his son Ji Lang succeeded to the throne as King Hui of Zhou.
As a political measure, during Zhou Wang's reign, he changed the political system formulated by Zhou Wenwang and Zhou Wuwang, made colorful costumes and built tall and luxurious palaces, so Confucius satirized him with poems.
The historical evaluation of Huangfu Mi's The Century of the Emperor: "Since King Nuo ascended the throne, he changed the system of civil and military affairs and made it the decoration of Huang Xuan Hua Li. The palace was magnificent and luxurious, and Confucius sneered. "
