周虎王 — the base text writes 虎 for 武, avoiding the name of King Hyejong of Goryeo, so it means King Wu of Zhou. ― translator
2He is asked about the Great Plan
禮難不謝乃入覲, 洪範九疇問彛倫 四十一代孫名準, 被人侵奪聊去民.
By the rites he could not but give thanks, and so he went in to audience, and he was asked, by the Great Plan in Nine Divisions, about the constant bonds of men. The descendant of the forty-first generation was named Jun (準). He was despoiled by another and left his people behind.

尙書疏云, ‘虎王, 箕子之囚, 箕子走之朝鮮立國. 虎王聞之因封焉. 箕子受封, 不得無臣禮, 因謝入覲, 虎王問洪範九疇, 在周之十三年也.’ 已下現於傳者, 皆不注.
The subcommentary to the Shangshu says, "King Wu loosed the confinement of Gija, and Gija fled to Joseon and set up a state. King Wu heard of it and invested him there. Gija, having received the investiture, could not be without the rites of a subject, and so he went in to audience to give thanks. King Wu asked him about the Great Plan in Nine Divisions. It was in the thirteenth year of Zhou." From here down, what appears in the classics is not annotated at all.
