1. 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 saw so many soldiers and horses busy coming and going, so she smiled.

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. 2. Translation of the ancient text of Fenghuo Opera: Princes

1. "Beacon Fire Playing with 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. 5. The story of beacon fire playing with the princes, original text

The story of beacon fire playing with the princes

In the ancient Zhou Dynasty, there was a king named King You of Zhou. He was an extremely cruel king in history, and was extremely corrupt and extravagant. King You of Zhou had a beloved concubine. Her name was Bao Si. She was naturally very beautiful. She had delicate features, her skin was as tender as white jade, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and her hair was long and black. Although Bao Si's face had the beauty of a sinking fish and a falling goose, she had never opened her mouth to smile.

Therefore, in order to win the beauty's smile, King You of Zhou issued an imperial list. He said that whoever could make his beloved concubine smile would be rewarded with a thousand catties of gold. Later, a man came up with a way, which was to light a beacon fire to tease the princes, in order to get the empress' smile. So one evening, King Zhou You took his beloved concubine to the city tower and ordered his men to light the beacon fire on the city tower.

The beacon fire attracted the attention of the surrounding princes, who thought it was Xirong invading, and the beacon fire meant an alarm, so they led their respective troops and rushed to the rescue immediately. But after arriving in such a hurry, they found that King Zhou You's place was brightly lit, and the gongs and drums were noisy. It was very lively. After asking, he found out that the beacon was lit because of Concubine Bo Ai's smile. The princes had no choice but to return in anger.

Bao Si smiled faintly when he saw this situation.

But not long after, the Xirong army really came to invade. King Zhou You hurriedly lit the beacon fire, but no reinforcements came to help. It turned out that the princes still thought that King Zhou You was teasing them and it was just a repeat of the same trick. They did not believe that there was really a foreign invasion. As a result, King You of Zhou was killed and his capital was captured by Xirong. From then on, the Western Zhou Dynasty was destroyed.

Background of the princes in the Fenghuo Opera

After the death of King Zhou Xuan, he succeeded to the throne after nirvana and became King You of Zhou. At that time, a major earthquake occurred in the Guanzhong area where Wang Ji of the Zhou Dynasty lived. Coupled with successive years of drought, the people were forced to flee from hunger and cold. The society was in turmoil and the country's power was exhausted. King You of Zhou was a dissolute and immoral king. He did not want to save the Zhou Dynasty from danger and worked hard to improve himself. Instead, he reused the sycophant Guo Shifu to exploit the people and intensified class conflicts. He also attacked Xirong and was defeated. At this time, a minister named Bao Jue admonished King You. Instead of listening, King You of Zhou imprisoned Bao Jue.

Xiàng was imprisoned for three years. The Bao people tried every possible means to rescue Bao Jue. They heard that King You of Zhou was very beautiful and was ordering to recruit beauties from all over the world to enter the palace, so they took this opportunity to look for beauties. He found a girl named Si in Bao City, taught her to sing and dance, dressed her up, named her Bao Si, and presented her to King You. To atone for Baojue.

When King You saw Bao Si, he was astonished and loved her very much. He immediately made her his concubine and released Bao Jue at the same time. After King You was honored by his concubine, he favored her very much and lived a licentious and luxurious life. Although Bao Si is as beautiful as a peach and plum, she is as cold as ice. She has never smiled once since she entered the palace. In order to win Bao Si's happy smile, King You tried every means to win Bao Si's happy smile, but Bao Si never smiled. 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 Quanrong attacked, 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. Father Guo Shi proposed 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
