The Zhou Dynasty established its dynasty in Feng and Hao, which were close to the Rong people. King You of Zhou made an agreement with the princes: build a fortress on the official road so that it could be heard from far and near.

Although Bao Si is as beautiful as a peach and plum, he is as cold as ice. He has never smiled once since he entered the palace. In order to win Bao Si's happy smile, King You did not hesitate to do everything possible, but Bao Si never smiles all day long. For this reason, King You even offered a reward for advice. Whoever could make Bao Si smile would be rewarded with a thousand taels. At this time, a fawning minister named Guo Shifu came up with an idea for King Zhou You and suggested using a beacon tower to try it.

The beacon fire was originally an emergency military alarm signal in ancient times when enemy invaders invaded. From the capital to the border town fortress, beacon towers were set up all along the way. In order to prevent the intrusion of dog soldiers in the Western Zhou Dynasty, more than 20 beacon towers were built in the Lishan area near Haojing (southeast of Lintong, Shaanxi today), one every few miles. Once the Dog Rong attack, the first sentry found immediately lit a beacon fire on the platform, and nearby beacon towers also lit fires one after another to alert the nearby princes. When the princes saw the beacon fire, they knew that the capital was in danger and the emperor was in trouble. They must raise troops to serve the king and come to the rescue. Guo Shi's father came up with a plan to light the beacon fire on the beacon tower for no reason, so as to attract the princes to come and make a futile trip, in order to make the concubine laugh.

The fatuous King You of Zhou adopted Father Guo Shi’s suggestion and immediately took Bao Si, accompanied by Father Guo Shi, to the Lishan beacon tower and ordered the guards to light the beacon. Suddenly, there was smoke everywhere and beacon fire soaring into the sky. When the princes from all over the country saw the alarm, they thought that the dog soldiers were coming, and sure enough, they led their troops and horses to rush to the rescue. When we arrived at the foot of Mount Li, there was not even a shadow of a dog soldier. We could only hear the sounds of music and singing on the mountain. It turned out that King You of Zhou and Bao Si were sitting on a high platform drinking and having fun. King You of Zhou sent someone to tell them that thanks to everyone's hard work, nothing happened here. The king and his wife were just setting off fireworks for fun. The princes realized that they had been teased and returned with resentment. Bao Si saw thousands of troops and horses coming and going as soon as they were summoned, just like child's play. She found it very interesting and couldn't help but smile. King Zhou You was overjoyed and immediately rewarded Guo Shi's father with a thousand gold coins.

In order to further please Bao Si and disregard the rules of his ancestors, King You of Zhou deposed Queen Shen and Prince Yijiu, named Bao Si the queen, and Bao Si's son Bofu was the prince, and issued an order He deposed the title of Marquis Shen, the queen's father, and prepared to send troops to attack him. After receiving the news, Marquis Shen took a preemptive strike and united with the troops of Marquis Zeng and the Quanrong troops of the northwest Yi tribe to attack Haojing in 771 BC. King You of Zhou was panicked when he heard the news of the Quanrong attack, and hurriedly ordered the beacon tower to light the beacon fire. The beacon fire was burning, but the princes ignored it this time because they were fooled last time.

The beacon tower was filled with thick smoke during the day and bright with flames at night, but no reinforcements arrived. This made King Zhou You complain endlessly. The guards at Haojing resented King You of Zhou for being fatuous, and were dissatisfied with the general's frequent deductions of food and wages. At this time, they were unwilling to serve. As soon as the dog soldiers arrived, they reluctantly resisted for a while, then dispersed in a crowd, and the dog soldiers and horses swarmed into the city. King Zhou You, with Bao Si and Bo Fu, fled from the back door in a hurry and rushed to Lishan Mountain. On the way, he ordered the beacon fire to be lit again. Although the beacon smoke penetrated into the sky, no princes came to rescue them. The dog soldiers pursued them closely, and King Zhou You's left and right people also fled along the way, leaving only more than a hundred people who fled into Li Palace. King You of Zhou accepted the advice of his ministers and ordered the front palace gate to be set on fire to confuse the dog soldiers, while he himself escaped through the harem gate. After not escaping far, the dog soldiers caught up with them again, and there was a killing spree. Only King Zhou You, Bao Si and Bo Fu were left. They were already paralyzed in the car with fear. When the dog soldiers saw King You of Zhou wearing the emperor's clothes, they knew he was the emperor of Zhou and hacked him to death on the spot. He also snatched the prince's uncle's clothes from Bao Si and killed him with one knife, leaving only Bao Si as a prisoner (some say he was killed). At this point, the Western Zhou Dynasty was declared destroyed. 5. A brief summary of "Beacon Fire Plays on the Princes" in classical Chinese

1. "Fenghuo Plays on the Princes" refers to King You of Zhou in the Western Zhou Dynasty. He lit the beacon tower and teased the princes in order to smile in praise of Si (bāo sì). Bao Si really laughed after seeing it. King You was very happy and lit the beacon many times. Later, the princes no longer believed it and gradually stopped coming.

Later, Quan Rong attacked Haojing and killed King Zhou You. Later, King Zhou You's son, King Zhou Ping, ascended the throne and began the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

2. The beacon fire play on the princes was only the catalyst for the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty, aggravating its demise. Even if there was no beacon fire to play with the princes, the Western Zhou Dynasty would sooner or later be destroyed by other events and could not be restored. The beacon fire to play with the princes was just an opportunity. As long as the emperor broke his promise, the princes would have a great excuse to lose faith, become arrogant, and strive for hegemony. Before the beacon fire tricked the princes, each family only expanded secretly. At that time, the political power was already on the verge of collapse, and the beacon fire show on the princes was just an introduction, an inducement for quantitative change to qualitative change. If this doesn't happen, there will still be other incentives. 6. Classical Chinese: Playing with the princes by beacon fire

Just for a smile of praise, King You of Zhou lit the beacon tower and teased the princes.

In 781 BC, King Xuan of Zhou died, and his son came to the throne, King You of Zhou. King You of Zhou was stupid and ignorant, looking for beautiful women everywhere.

The doctor Yue Shudai advised him to be more careful about government affairs. King You of Zhou was so angry that he removed Uncle Yue from his official position and kicked him out.

This caused dissatisfaction with Minister Baoxiang. Baoxiang came to persuade King Zhou You, but was thrown into prison in anger.

Baoxiang was imprisoned for three years. His son presented the beautiful woman Bao Si to King Zhou You, and King Zhou You released the praise.

When King Zhou You saw Bao Si, he liked her very much. Bao Si frowned all the time and never even smiled.

King Zhou You tried his best to make her laugh, but she couldn't laugh. Guo Shifu said to King You of Zhou: "In the past, in order to prevent the Xirong from invading our capital, more than 20 beacon towers were built in the Fanshan area.

In case the enemy came in, beacon fires would be set off one after another. Come, let the neighboring princes see it, so that they can send troops to save it. At this time, the world is peaceful, and the beacon tower is no longer useful.

It is better to light the beacon fire and let the princes see this. The soldiers and horses will come over and laugh.

Do you think my method is good?" King Zhou You squinted his eyes and clapped his hands. The beacon fire started at one o'clock, and the sky was filled with flames in the middle of the night.

The neighboring princes saw the beacon fire and hurried to the capital with their troops and horses. I heard that the king was in Xishan, so I hurried to Xishan.

Unexpectedly, no enemy was seen, nor did they look like they were fighting. Only the sounds of music and singing were heard. Everyone looks at you and you don’t know what’s going on.

King Zhou You sent people to tell them: "Thank you for your hard work, everyone, there are no enemies, you can go back!" Only then did the princes realize that they had been deceived by the king, and they were very angry and led their troops back. Bao Si smiled when he saw so many soldiers and horses busy coming and going.

King Zhou You was very happy and rewarded Guo Shifu. Not long after, Xirong really came to the capital.

King Zhou You quickly lit the beacon fire. These princes were fooled last time, but this time they thought it was a joke and ignored him.

The beacon fire was lit, but no reinforcements came. There were not many soldiers and horses in the capital, and only one Zheng Boyou went out to resist for a while. However, his men and horses were too few, and he was finally surrounded by the enemy and was shot to death by random arrows.

King You of Zhou and Father Guo Shi were both killed by Xirong, and Bao Si was kidnapped.
