He was the son of King Qie Ding , the older brother of the succeeding King Pan Geng . During his era, the capital was in Yān ( Chinese , in what is now Shandong Province ), and the Shang dynasty fell apart again. At the same time, the feudal princes no longer attended his audience. He went on a campaign against the Western Shan Rong clan .
