Is Shang Zhouwang really as cruel as people say?

Shang Dynasty was a slave society, but it had declined in Zhou Wang's time. Zhou Wang, who was "a little man but far from a virtuous minister", changed the talent selection system at that time, abandoned those noble talents and promoted them from slaves.

Later, Zhou Wang, the last emperor of Shang Dynasty, and his nobles lived a luxurious and decadent life, leading a dissolute life, ruling cruelly, being close to the people, hurting loyalty, brutally exploiting and enslaving civilians and slaves, and fighting for years, leading to people's poverty. And there will be others! Imagine if you lived in Shang Dynasty, how likely are you to be slaughtered with a group of pigs? Living in Shang dynasty is definitely not a very interesting thing!

People outside the Shang clan are not human beings, and in order to let destiny bless them forever, the Shang clan will use living people as sacrifices in large-scale sacrifice activities, and these living people used for large-scale sacrifice are all people outside the Shang clan, but he was finally defeated by the Western Zhou Dynasty. As a failure, he must bear the responsibility for his mistakes. Due to political needs, the Western Zhou Dynasty exaggerated Zhou Wang's mistakes and formed his ruthless folk image.

However, he is definitely incompetent as a king. According to various data handed down, the ruling style of Shang Dynasty and Zhou Wang is still in the slave society stage, and the ruling style is famous for its high pressure and cruelty. Killing people is like slaughtering livestock. After refusing to listen to Zhou Wang's advice, they were forced to become slaves for fear of persecution and were finally imprisoned. At that time, countless other ordinary officials and people were persecuted at will.

The slaves of the imperial court have no freedom and obey him. Became a cruel part of him. It is impossible for the merchants to be cruel, or similar to Rome's several levels of citizenship, to realize the progress of the system, so the Zhou Dynasty had no destiny, which also proves that Jiang Ziya's political ability is high, and his resistance to slaves will eventually succeed, and ordinary people will not be cruel. Only Zhou Wang and executioner of Shang Dynasty. But people in the world are not all good people, but also wicked people.
