Legends of the Great Wall of China

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.
