Zhou
You Wang dally principalities by lighting the beacon fire
Zhou You Wang, a king of Zhou Dynasty, was reported to have made fun
of principalities by lighting the beacon fire to please his lover in
the absence of real attack. It angered the principalities so much that
when the enemy came and the fire was once more lighted, no one came
to his help. The king was killed. This episode reflects the state of
affairs then.
