Baike has Zhou You wang (the last king of Western Zhou) as the king in question in its summary. It says in the background that some sources claim it was Zhou Huan wang or Zhou Ping wang, but given the historical context, Zhou You wang makes the most sense.
There was controversy over if it was to satirize the king or Yin, but Baike's final word is that it is a pointless debate lol. It is exposing the corruption and evil of BOTH.
