Uncle Cai, the first monarch of Cai State, why did he say that his life was full of ups and downs?

Cai Shudu, surnamed Ji, Mingdu, is the first monarch of Cai in the Western Zhou Dynasty, he is the fifth son of King Ji Chang of Zhou Wen, the fifth brother of the same mother of King Ji Fa of Zhou, after King Wu of Zhou destroyed Shang, Ji Fa gave Cai land to him, Cai State was established from this, and the surname "Cai" was also derived from this, and after the death of King Ji Fa of Zhou Wu, his son Cheng Wang Ji Yu was supposed to ascend the throne, but because of his young age, he had to temporarily be replaced by Zhou Gong Ji Dan, the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou.

Because this monarch went from having no rights to being very powerful, and his life was very bumpy, so his life was very unlucky.

Because he was very responsible in his life, he was also very talented, but sometimes he was not appreciated by the monarch and had great ups and downs.

Uncle Cai and the other two uncles launched the Three Prisons Rebellion, which was an act of rebellion. Therefore, Zhou Gongdan insisted on destroying Uncle Cai to prevent other vassal states from committing rebellion!

Because he believed that the power of the Duke of Zhou was too great and prone to autocracy, he united with the other three monarchs to launch the "Three Eunuchs Rebellion".

Uncle Cai is the monarch of Cai State, but Duke Zhou insisted on destroying him because he felt that he had endangered his status, and he wanted to get rid of him.

Because Zhou Gong thought that if he continued to keep him, it might bring certain losses to his own interests.

Uncle Cai, the first monarch of Cai State, was virtuous and loved talents, but the fundamental reason why King Zhou Cheng still couldn't tolerate him was because of the selfish interests of people at that time, for their own status and life, that is, what people often call fame and fortune, they would definitely eliminate hidden dangers. After the death of King Wen of Zhou and the accession of King Wu of Zhou, King Wu of Zhou was afraid of the East Window incident, so he has been letting several trusted ** people who are not at ease with others, in the name of assistance, have been secretly observing their every move. In this matter, we can naturally see that at the very beginning, King Wu of Zhou was very trusting of the knowledge left by his father, but it also reflected the character characteristics of King Wu of Zhou, who was very suspicious by nature.

After the death of King Wu of Zhou, King Zhou Cheng ascended the throne, but King Zhou Cheng's age was too young, so Zhou Gongdan has been assisting the government, and the henchmen left by King Wu of Zhou at that time will naturally worry about the future development of King Zhou Cheng, afraid that Zhou Gongdan will get the family and country that they have been guarding in the center, so in the end, King Zhou Cheng's age is too young, and he has not yet had the ability to judge right from wrong. Under the influence of Zhou Gongdan, and under the control of Zhou Gongdan, the three veterans were removed from their positions and exiled to the wilderness.

Therefore, it is said that King Wu of Zhou can't tolerate him, or that Zhou Gongdan, who has been assisting King Zhou Cheng, has always been unable to tolerate him, and these three cronies of King Wu of Zhou will naturally discover Zhou Gongdan's mind more or less when King Wu of Zhou is alive. Zhou Gongdan was also afraid that the Zhou family's dynasty would change its name, and when the three of them said that they had the intention of controlling the imperial court, one of the two parties would lose. So that's why Uncle Cai was exiled.

Talents must have the insights and abilities to be talents, but what is more needed is to have a good time to really give full play to their talents. But not every generation of kings reused the same people.

Because Uncle Cai is too virtuous, good at winning people's hearts, and has a good reputation among the people, King Zhou Cheng can't tolerate him, for fear that he will threaten him.

I think that if I were King Zhou Cheng, for a virtuous and talented person, of course it would be very taboo against him, who knows if the other party will have a plot against him.

His power is very large and has threatened himself, so King Zhou Cheng wants to take it down, in order to consolidate his power
