Chinese Traditional Story: The Consequences of Ignoring Advice

(1) The first story happened during the Western Zhou Dynasty, the tenth ruler, King Li of Zhou, ruled with coercive and tyrannical methods, ruthlessly plundering the people’s wealth, monopolizing social wealth and resources, intensifying the exploitation of the working people, and simultaneously stripping some nobles of their power.
(2)The second story took place during the Warring States period. On one occasion, the state of Qi was preparing to attack the state of Song. The King of Song sent someone to scout the enemy’s situation. The scout returned and reported, “The Qi army is very close to our borders, and the morale of our people is low, so everyone is very worried.”
