What's the allusion of "playing princes in a bonfire"?

In 718 BC, Zhou Youwang Gongnie succeeded to the throne. At that time, there was an earthquake in the gap, but you Wang didn't think about the disaster of fire fighting. Instead, he indulged himself in debauchery and dogs and horses, leading a drunken life. You Wang for three years, praised the country to please you Wang, and presented beautiful women to praise you.

Praise can be described as a truly stunning woman. Thin waist, ice muscle and jade skin, enchanting flowers and tiny eyes can make people's spaced out. After Baosi entered the palace, you Wang ignored the state affairs, and spent all his time having fun in the palace. He took Baosi and Wenwu Baiguan to visit the hot springs in Lishan Mountain, and for the safety of the tour, he built an alarm facility-beacon tower on the first peak of West Embroidered Ridge in Lishan Mountain.

It's said that after the praise entered the palace, you Wang's crowd loved the praise. Soon, the praise gave birth to a son's name "clothing" for the deep and remote king, and the deep and remote king favored the praise. But at this time, the praise was frowning all day, and the phoenix eyes were worried. The king looked in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, thinking that he was homesick, so he asked the musicians to play the piano to relieve his boredom, hoping to get a smile from the beauty.

But you Wang tried his best, but he didn't get what he wanted, so he asked the officials, "Who can make the princess smile and reward her with two thousand gold?" My favorite, Guo Shifu, said that he had a clever plan to make his concubine smile.

You Wang Daxi urged her to speak quickly: "The princess is always worried, because after three years of fear of the king, her mother and son will have no place to live. If the king can make Bo serve as a prince, light a bonfire, and let the princess see the spectacular scene of thousands of troops, she will always smile." After hearing this, you Wang immediately ordered the imperial edict to abolish the Queen Shen and the Prince Yi Jiu, and made a recommendation for the Queen and a servant for the Prince, that is, driving a lucky mountain.

You Wang came to Lishan Hot Spring Palace and ordered the bonfire to be lit. However, when he saw the bonfire, all the people saw it, and they quickly mobilized the three armies and went straight to Lishan. When I was near, I listened to the sound of harps and harps in the pavilion, but I didn't see a single soldier. But at this time, when I saw the panic-stricken weather, I smiled. You Wang was ecstatic when he saw the charm of the praise, so he rewarded Guo Shishu.

After that, You Wang lit the bonfire many times. Later, the governors didn't believe it, and they gradually stopped coming. Later, the dog army attacked Haojing and killed Zhou Youwang. Later, Zhou Pingwang, the son of Zhou Youwang, acceded to the throne and began the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Background:

After Zhou Xuanwang's death, his womb was succeeded by Zhou Youwang. At that time, there was a great earthquake in the Guanzhong area where Zhou Shi Wang Ji (wángjī) lived, followed by years of drought, which made people hungry and cold, exiled everywhere, social unrest and national strength exhausted.

Zhou Youwang, on the other hand, was a dissolute and heartless bad king. He didn't want to save the Zhou Dynasty from peril and strive for strength. Instead, he used courtiers and stone fathers to exploit the people and intensified class contradictions. It also attacked Xirong and suffered a heavy defeat. At this time, there was a minister named Bao _, who remonstrated with You Wang. Instead of listening, Zhou Youwang imprisoned Bao _.

Bao _(xiàng) was imprisoned for three years. The people of Bao do everything possible to save Bao _. They heard that Zhou Youwang was beautiful, and they were ordering all the beautiful women to enter the palace, so they took this opportunity to search for beautiful women. I found a woman named Si in the city of Bao, taught her to sing and dance, dressed her up, named her Bao, and presented her to the King of You. Make amends for praise.
