    Jiang Ziya's descendants will be brutally cooked to death by King Zhou, just because of his arrogance and rudeness, ignoring the majesty of King Zhou and the ancestral system. As the saying goes, "the gun shoots the first bird", the arrogance of Jiang Ziya's descendants has made him an example for all princes. In order to establish his prestige, King Zhou chose to use the other party to establish his majesty, and in this way, Jiang Ziya's descendants failed to save their lives.

    The king of Zhou in the story is the king of Zhou Yi, and the descendant of Jiang Ziya is Lu (Jiang) Buchen, the monarch of Qi. It can be said that Jiang Buchen's ending was all caused by himself. The following two things caused King Zhou Yi to be dissatisfied, so he wanted to deal with it quickly.

    The Zhou Dynasty was different from other dynasties in that the feudal officials were the princes of all walks of life, who had full autonomy, but they needed to be unified under the management of the Zhou Dynasty. Jiang Ziya was named the monarch of Qi because of his outstanding merits; By the time Jiang Buchen's generation of kings arrived, the Qi State was already the fifth generation of monarchs, while the Zhou Dynasty had reached the eighth generation of monarchs.

    The ancestors used to fight the world together, and the relationship was also very good. Therefore, in terms of generation, although Jiang Buchen is a subordinate prince of King Zhou Yi, his qualifications are even older than him. Coupled with the growing strength of the Qi State, Jiang Buchen began to despise King Zhou Yi from the bottom of his heart.

    It's just that he despises King Zhou Yi in his heart, and he doesn't reveal it on the outside, and I don't think King Zhou Yi will know about it. Not to mention that he would be a killer, Jiang Buchen was wrong, and he began to despise King Zhou Yi in his behavior.

    According to the ancestral agreement, each vassal state was required to pay tribute to the Zhou Dynasty every year. When Jiang Buchen's generation of kings ascended the throne, he did not come to celebrate; For two years, he did not pay tribute to the Zhou Dynasty.

    As a subordinate junior brother, Jiang Buchen's actions will naturally make King Zhou Yi dissatisfied. He did not pay tribute and set a bad example, which made many vassal states follow suit, and in this case, King Zhou Yi hated him to the core.

    Taking advantage of his illness, he summoned all the princes to a meeting; When Jiang Buchen arrived, he had already set up a cauldron to cook.

    Because the king was afraid of being robbed of power by Jiang Ziya's descendants, and he also needed to kill chickens and monkeys, and someone sued Jiang Ziya's descendants in front of King Zhou, saying that he was not because of Mingjun and could not govern the country, but just hit the muzzle of the gun that King Zhou wanted to govern the country, which was logical.

    Because what he did offended the king of Zhou, interfered with the government of the king of Zhou, and brought a relatively large loss to the king of Zhou, so he was allowed to die in this cruel way.

    Because after Jiang Ziya's death, his descendants were affected by slander, and then the king of Zhou Yi at that time wanted to establish his prestige in front of the vassal states in this way, so his descendants were tied up.

    Because King Zhou was afraid that Jiang Ziya's descendants would do something to his throne, and because King Zhou was particularly suspicious, he executed Jiang Ziya's descendants in this way.

    The main reason is that other countries wear small shoes for Jiang Ziya's descendants in front of King Zhou, and King Zhou will use cruel means to cook the other party to death in order to save face.

    This is mainly because of the emperor's suspicions, and he is worried that Jiang Ziya's descendants are too famous to overpower him, so he chooses to clear his eyesight, which is the so-called Gong Gao Zhen Lord.
