148:(夫論箋校正), Marquess Jiuhou presented his daughter to King Zhou of Shang. The king was overjoyed and believed her to be the most beautiful woman in the world. He asked Daji for her opinion. Daji, fearing that the king would favor the new concubine and neglect her, feigned tears and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, are you losing your eyesight with age? How could you call such an ugly woman beautiful?" The king agreed with Daji's assessment that the Marquess's daughter was unattractive. Daji was also afraid that other marquesses and dukes would send their beautiful daughters to the king, so she told him, "Marquess Jiuhou is unrighteous. He wants to use his daughter to bewitch you. If you don't punish him, how can you deter others?". King Zhou was furious and had the Marquess's daughter boiled to death and fed to her father. Following this incident, all the beautiful women in the world remained secluded in their chambers during the day, fearing the king's attention.
120:), Jiuhou Nü was offered to King Zhou as part of a marriage alliance between the Guifang and the Shang Dynasty. However, she was not favored by King Zhou and was subsequently executed on the false charge of 'not liking lust.' Her father, Jiuhou, was also executed by being chopped into pieces. The deaths of Jiuhou Nü and her father were major turning points in the history of the Shang dynasty. It is often cited as an example of King Zhou's cruelty and tyranny, leading to the alienation of the Guifang, who had been one of the Shang's most important allies. Additionally, it contributed to the growing resentment of King Zhou's rule, which eventually led to his overthrow.
