Legend has it that the Queen Mother of the West is a goddess with extraordinary appearance who can sing ballads. At that time, King Mu of Zhou happened to come to the Yaochi where the Queen Mother of the West was. King Mu of Zhou was impressed by the beauty of the Queen Mother of the West, so he and the Queen Mother of the West spent many days drinking and singing in the Yaochi. They had so much fun that they forgot to return. It declined and led to the rebellion of King Xu Yan.
King Xu Yan was a feudal lord of the Xia Dynasty, after the king of Xu. According to "Kuo Di Zhi": "The great city of Xu is located 30 miles north of Sizhou County, which is also the ancient Xu State." When King Xu Yan saw King Mu of Zhou and Zaofu driving westward for a hunt but not returning, he took advantage of the loosening of the imperial code and thought that the time had come for rebellion. He raised his troops to rebel against Zhou, which was unstoppable.
King Mu of Zhou entered Yaochi and enjoyed himself with the Queen Mother of the West. He had long forgotten about returning to the court. Cepheus suddenly saw a thousand-mile horse and became restless. He knew that something was going to happen. So, he released a horse and let it fly away.
By chance, the released cavalry led the King of Zhou's team into Yaochi. The team had been searching for King Mu of Zhou for many days, and only then did they know the location of Yaochi after seeing Qianliju. King Mu of Zhou learned about King Xu Yan's rebellion and realized that he had almost lost his country. He immediately bid farewell to the Queen Mother of the West and ascended the throne to return to the court.
Zaofu appointed himself as his charioteer, and his eight thousand-mile horses returned to the capital as fast as a dragon soaring over the clouds, making King Xu Yan unprepared. The Xu army heard that King Mu of Zhou had returned on eight dragons riding on clouds. Overnight, the soldiers Nearly half escaped. The next day, King Mu of Zhou led an army to attack King Xu Yan and defeated him.
In order to commend Zaofu for his contribution to saving the country and stabilizing the country in this battle, King Mu of Zhou gave Zaofu the city of Zhao as his city. From this, the Zhao family got their surname. Therefore, Zaofu is the ancestor of the surname Zhao in the world and the ancestor of the blood source.
Although King Mu of Zhou quickly put down the rebellion, his way of life was very dangerous in the eyes of the courtiers. Although King Mu of Zhou could feel it this time, it was only because of the chariot puller. There was something strange about the divine horse, and it was noticed by Zaofu, who rushed back. If such a thing happened again, I might not be so lucky.
So these courtiers came up with a countermeasure. Because Zaofu's meritorious service in driving the chariot allowed King Mu of Zhou to rush back to the capital in time to deal with the rebellion. This meritorious service should be rewarded. So under their suggestion, King Mu of Zhou gave Zaofu the title of Zhao. The city is a town, and this Zaofu naturally became a small lord of one party. Once Zaofu became a lord, he naturally had no way to continue driving the carriage for King Mu this week.
When Cepheus is gone, no one else can control the eight divine horses that are used to pull the carriage made of black bird skeletons. If there is no one to control the divine horses, the carriage will naturally be unable to move. , and without this carriage as a means of transportation, King Mu would naturally not be able to go out at will this week.
And even if King Mu wants to go out this week, he can only take an ordinary carriage. This ordinary carriage is just made of wood, copper and iron. It cannot run for a long time at all, and the wooden wheels are also very bumpy. This week Even if King Mu wants to run out to play, he can't escape from the capital. This week, King Mu is sitting in the capital, so the country will naturally not be in chaos.
So these courtiers used this method to keep King Mu of Zhou, and King Mu of Zhou stopped traveling. The eight horses and the black bird's chariot were of no use, and the eight horses were released. They arrived at the place where Zaofu had brought them before, and the Black Bird Car was also deeply hidden in the treasury of the Zhou royal family.
After the death of King Mu of Zhou, the new king came to the throne. He once wanted to take out the carriage and use it, but was stopped by the courtiers who had stayed from the time of King Mu of Zhou. They used various reasons to stop the new king. They wanted to use this carriage because they were very afraid of another king who would spend most of his time wandering around instead of managing the country in the capital.
So under the dissuasion of these old courtiers, plus the fact that the eight divine horses used to pull the black bird's chariot had disappeared after being released into the mountains and forests, these ordinary ordinary horses could not pull the black bird here at all. The breath carriage is standing before, let alone trying to pull the carriage and run.
And since Zaofu, no one can drive this black bird's carriage, and the new king doesn't really want to ride in this carriage, but he has some feelings about this carriage that was cherished by the previous king of Zhou Mu. Just out of curiosity, seeing that there was no horse or driver, and all the old officials in the court objected to his riding in this carriage, so the new king stopped mentioning the carriage.
Since then, the Black Bird Chariot has been hidden deep in the treasury of the Great Zhou Dynasty. By the time of King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty, because no one had mentioned the Black Bird Chariot, King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty did not know about it. The Black Bird's Car is hidden in his treasury.
By the time of King You of Zhou Dynasty, the Western Zhou Dynasty had reached its last moment. (The third year of King You of Zhou Dynasty), King You of Zhou imprisoned Bao Jue of Bao Kingdom. Bao people offered the beauty Bao Si to atone for Bao Jue's sins. King You loved her like a pearl in his palm. She was established as a concubine and favored the king of Zhou Dynasty. King You of Zhou once played tricks on the princes in order to win the favor of Si, and finally broke his trust in the world.
 The next year, Bao Si gave birth to a son, Bo Fu, and King You favored her even more. He actually abolished Queen Shen and Prince Yijiu, and appointed Bao Si as queen and Bo Fu as prince. Zhou Taishi Boyang sighed and said: "The Zhou royal family has faced a crisis." Disaster is inevitable."
Marquis Shen was very angry that his daughter, Empress Shen, was deposed. He united with the state of Zhen and Quanrong to launch an expedition against King You, and jointly attacked Haojing, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty. Although King You raised the alarm, the princes from all over the world were afraid of being teased again, so they did not send troops to help King You.
When Haojing was captured, King You and Bao Si fled to the foothills of Lishan Mountain and were killed by the soldiers. Bao Si was killed. From the time when King Wu established the Zhou Dynasty to the time when King You was killed, the Western Zhou Dynasty, which had ruled for about 250 years, perished.
At this time, the princes knew that Quan Rong had really invaded Haojing, so they united and led a large team of troops to rescue. When Quan Rong saw the army of the princes arriving, they robbed the treasures that the Zhou Dynasty had accumulated over the years and set fire to retreat. The Black Bird Chariot disappeared without a trace after the Quanrong robbed the treasury, set it on fire and retreated. It is not known whether it was taken away by the Quanrong or destroyed by the fire.
After Quan Rong defeated Hao Jing, killed King You and retreated, Shenhou, Luhou, Xu Wengong and others jointly established the original prince Ji Yijiu as the emperor, and he ascended the throne in Shen in 770 BC as King Ping of Zhou.
Because Haojing had been destroyed by the war, and most of the land in the west of the Zhou Dynasty was occupied by the Quanrong, King Zhou Ping was afraid that Haojing would be difficult to protect, so he moved the capital to Luoyi under the escort of Qin in 770 BC, and established the country with the assistance of Zheng and Jin. The Zhou Dynasty after moving eastward. It was called the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in history, and this Xuanyu Dao cloak was moved eastward to Luoyi with King Ping of Zhou Dynasty as a relic of the royal family.
