Bo yikao
Bo Yikao (years of birth and death unknown) was the eldest son of King Wen of Zhou and the brother of King Wu of Zhou. He was born to Taisi, the daughter of Youshen. He was honest and kind by nature and was a dutiful son. There were many explanations about the events related to King Zhou. One was that King Zhou was afraid that King Wen would unite with the vassals to rebel, so he took Bo Yikao as a hostage and stayed in the capital to drive for King Zhou. After King Wen was imprisoned in Yili, King Zhou listened to calumny and further persecuted King Wen. He threw Bo Yikao, who drove the chariot for him, into a pot and cooked him alive. Then he asked the envoy to give the soup that Bo Yikao had cooked to King Wen. In order to overthrow King Zhou of Yin in the future, King Wen forced himself to drink and eat it. In the stories related to Investiture of the Gods, his death was of great significance. He was the first victim of the crusade against Shang Zhou. His death won his father's life, and his sacrifice was also the fuse to the crusade against Shang Zhou. He presented King Zhou's three treasures (Seven Fragrance Carriage, Sobbing Felt, White-Faced Ape) and ten beautiful women to atone for his father's sins. After his death, he was chopped into meat paste and made into buns for Ji Chang to eat. Ji Chang ate it for the sake of the overall situation. After spitting it out, the meat buns turned into three rabbits. Later generations guessed that they were Bo Yikao's soul. Some people believed that according to the customs and traditions of some regions, he might have been executed by Ji Chang according to the tradition of "killing the first son and eating him", but this was only a special point of view. In the movie "Apotheosis: Part One", he was portrayed as a man with brains, a scholar's character, and an all-rounder in both literature and martial arts. He went to Zhaoge regardless of danger and died in the end. Although he did not have many scenes, he became an important factor in pushing Ji Fa to rebel against the merchants.

Bo Yikao's Terror
The description of Bo Yikao as "terrifying" may be based on the way he died and the legends about him. According to the traditional mainstream theory, he was cooked and made into meat soup by King Zhou. This cruel way of dying was hair-raising. There was also a saying that King Zhou made him into meat sauce buns for Ji Chang to eat. This was undoubtedly an extremely terrifying and cruel scene. However, from another interpretation point of view, such as the traditional saying of " killing the first son and eating it," although this statement had a greater impact on traditional concepts, it could also explain the relevant records to a certain extent if it was considered from the perspective of the special customs that might have existed at that time. However, this statement was also controversial. The traditional mainstream records still stated that King Zhou had committed atrocities against Bo Yikao. In short, his story contained many cruel and terrifying elements. While waiting for the TV series, he could also read the exciting content related to this site!

Bo Yikao was originally the eldest son of King Wen of Zhou, Ji Chang, and the elder brother of King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa. His mother was Taisi. There were many plots related to him in historical records. One theory was that after King Wen of Zhou was imprisoned by King Zhou, Bo Yikao was taken hostage in the Shang Dynasty and drove for King Zhou. King Zhou cooked him and made him into meat soup to give to King Wen of Zhou. There was also a view that, according to the research, some tribes in remote areas of ancient China had the habit of "killing the first son to eat". Some scholars suspected that Bo Yikao might have been killed by Ji Chang according to this tradition, but this view was not mainstream.
