The tyrant King Li was forced into hiding the other day after an unexpected mob of peasants and soldiers. King Li was quite a forceful king who raised taxes to pay for his pleasures, this made his subjects very unhappy. Li was extremely selfish and cruel, no wonder all the citizens despised of him and were so afraid. He also made a law that allowed him to kill anyone who spoke against him, he was so cruel that no one dared to speak. Now happenings like these are what made the peasants and soldiers attack three years later, and for his own sake Li fled and ran for his life, he hid and was then captured and expelled of his reign. His son fled and hid with one of the king's ministers and the mob was unable to find the prince. Around this time the Western Zhou dynasty started declining, it was towards the end of the period and it was also King Li's last year in reign (841 B.C.). The hiding spot of King Li and his son is still unknown but officals are looking into it. Li is fully responsible after all he's done no one else caused the problems and no one else was ever that cruel. After King Li the Western Zhou started to plummet and about a hundred years later the Eastern Zhou began. King Li will always be remembered as the tyrant of the Zhou and the most cruelest as well.
