Bao Si was a beautiful slave girl in the Zhou court. The emperor was so intrigued by her look of cold indifference he made her his empress. In the capital city was a beacon to be lit only in times of attack. One night, in an attempt to elicit a smile from his favorite, he ordered the beacon to be lit. The army and generals rushed to defend the capital, and the people were thrown into a huge uproar. Seeing this commotion, Bao Si smiled in great amusement. When the emperor admitted his prank, and the people returned home grumbling. Over the next months, the emperor repeated this ruse, until everyone tired of being made fools of and stopped responding. Taking advantage of the situation, the enemies of the kingdom mounted an attack. The beacon was lit, but no one came. The emperor was captured and killed, bringing about the end of the Zhou dynasty.
