When it comes to Duke Zhou, everyone is no stranger. However, the most important thing in Duke Zhou's life was that he remained in Zhou Chengwang after six years in power and achieved a peaceful transfer of power. When he was appointed as a riot, he was still in a stable period. Duke Zhou's selfless spirit has been praised by generations, and has also become the "dream interpreter" in our minds. But it is precisely because he has been praised by thousands of generations, and it has also caused future generations to question his just abdication.
What the Duke of Zhou wants is actually to seize the world. As for why Duke Zhou didn't take his place, it was actually a helpless move forced by the court situation at that time. At that time, Zhao Gong and Taigong, who played an important role in the country, had begun to doubt him. At this time, Wang Cheng also began to doubt the duke of Zhou.
Duke Zhou's two brothers Guan and Cai Shu joined hands with his son Wu Geng. Therefore, the turbulent situation in Guanzhong was very unfavorable to the Duke of Zhou, who had to return to power as a king to calm the public's anger. This problem has given us the image of Duke Zhou as selfless in the eyes of the world, which has had a great influence. However, many people still insist that the Duke of Zhou assisted him to become a king in the crisis of the Zhou Dynasty, worked hard all day, and finally returned to Zhou Chengwang, indicating that the Duke of Zhou was sincere to the country, so patriotic, loyal to the monarch and patriotic people should not do anything beyond their authority.
As to whether Zhou Chengwang was forced to return or really returned. It depends on everyone.
