King Zhao liked pleasure, and disregarded politics. As a result, the Zhou Dynasty began to falter under his inept rule. King Zhao especially liked rare plants and animals, and decided to go on a trip to Chu, a state, after an emissary claimed that Chu caught a rare bird. After crossing Han River, King Zhao realized that this is a trick. After several inconclusive battles with Chu forces, he began to retreat, looting and raiding the countryside as he went. While on a boat on Han River, the boat sprung a leak and King Zhao drowned, marking the end of his reign. PERSONAL INFORMATION
