He doesn't care about the country, but he just doesn't care about his countrymen.
Although Linghai Kingdom has strict laws, they are generally beneficial to the people, and those in the upper class are more restrained.
As long as ordinary people stay safe and abide by themselves, they will have a worry-free life.
At the same time, most of the people in Nangao Kingdom were tribesmen who were not harmonious with Taoism and Buddhism. Instead, they respected Emperor Fuxi, Nuwa Empress, and Chi You.
In this regard, there is no conflict with the people of Linghai Kingdom who respect Emperor Fuxi and Empress Nuwa and can coexist with each other.
…
After considering everything, King Nangao went to see Lord Lingxu to discuss the matter, but Lord Lingxu could not make the decision and could only recommend King Zhao to him.
The Fifth Prince is already very old, and it is really difficult for him to make a decision on such a major matter, so he has to put it off for now.
Deep down, he was worried about the inheritance of the throne.
The matter of changing the territory will definitely be liquidated afterwards, and the royal family will definitely remove the prince.
…
Year after year, Zhao gradually declined.
Da Lian has not broken his muscles and bones, his army is weak, and he has plenty of supplies.
In order to hold back Southern Zhao and Lord Lingxu, he gave his full support to Wu's rebellious army for a year.
The rebellious army of Wu got help from Da Lian and absorbed the people of Zhao, and its military power became even stronger.
On the other hand, in Southern Zhao, the aristocratic families used various means to extract profits in order to support their private armies.
Corrupt officials are making huge profits from this, and the wealthy families who are supposed to check and balance them turn a blind eye to this.
King Zhao's decree could not be implemented, and the court lost control and was already acting independently.
If it hadn't been for the suppression of True Lord Lingxu, I'm afraid the rebel flag on Lord Qing's side would have been raised.
…
(Linghai Calendar Year 204) In the mountains.
Due to Da Lian's support, Da Wu also allocated a lot of elixir magic weapons to Lu San'er, a Yuanshen master.
With the help of the elixir, Lu San'er built strategic roads in various places in the mountains, gathered soil into walls, and built a city wall outside the mountain village, upgrading the mountain village into a large village.
Using the technique of harvest harvest, a large number of grains and vegetables are produced and distributed to the people free of charge, so that the people can get out of the farmland and do more things.
Improve life and make weapons.
The village is prosperous, and Lu Saner has the foundation to become a king.
…
Lunar New Year's eve.
Lu San'er and his wife ate together at Yamaqi and Gu Ling'er's house. They had a simple vegetarian feast with home-grown vegetables, radishes and the like.
In Yamazaki's words, this is called karma.
Lu Saner is indeed not used to eating, but he is getting used to it.
Lu Zhang was reading a book. He also read it when he had nothing to do. He gained some understanding of cause and effect. He also asked Yamazaki for advice. He shuddered when he heard it.
…
Cause and effect may not necessarily be immediate, nor may it be what you are doing now.
Let's put it this way: when I was a kid, I threw a stone into the sea and killed a shrimp.
And this little shrimp has relatives and friends, one of whom hates you to the core, practices wholeheartedly, and becomes a shrimp demon.
But you never knew about this. You lived a carefree life, got married and had children, and had a full house of children and grandchildren. But when you got old, your whole family was killed by the shrimp monster overnight.
This is cause and effect, and if you do good deeds throughout your life and really accumulate good deeds.
For example, if you are very kind to Zhang San, Zhang San later becomes a fisherman. It is natural for fishermen to fish, and then he has a causal relationship with the shrimp demon.
When the shrimp demon was practicing, it was possible that something went wrong because of Zhang San, and he might even catch him and eat him.
Or maybe you have a grudge with Li Si, and Li Si has developed a certain skill when he grew up. Then when the shrimp demon comes to take revenge, he might appear and save some people.
As for the number of people, it depends on the cause and effect of good deeds. It may be possible to save only one person, or it may be possible to save the whole family.
And these things, you may not even know it happened from beginning to end.
This is where cause and effect is elusive. If you want to avoid it, you can only rely on fate and luck.
Nothing is destined, even if it is, there will be no precise time at the beginning. It will only be destined if the cause and effect comes.
Especially for disasters, it is necessary to accumulate merit and use merit to postpone and resolve disasters.
The problem with merit is that doing good is not necessarily merit.
For example, giving out food is a good deed, right? But the purpose is to get everyone to participate in training and help make weapons.
There is no merit in this, but as a person from Da Wu, it is only natural to help Da Wu defeat Da Zhao, so there is some merit.
But if the killing is excessive, while the merits increase, the sins will also increase.
It's hard to say how it will be. Anyway, if you commit too many sins, you will be punished.
For example, King Zhao of the previous generation allowed demons and demons to harm living beings, and was eventually betrayed by his son and imprisoned in a temple monastery. He then passed the age limit of 120 years.
This is a good thing, but for him it is equivalent to going to jail and having to sit down all the time.
The previous king of Zhao imprisoned his father and was not in the right position.
They were people who had no king or father, were unfaithful and unfilial, and then they believed in Buddhism, and as a result they lost a territory of 60 million miles in radius.
In order to regain the territory, taxes and labor were imposed endlessly, without resting with the people, and they did not care about the corruption of officials and oppressed the people.
He was also mean and ungrateful to his loyal ministers, so he was deprived of his throne by his uncle and imprisoned.
These are the retributions of cause and effect, that is, the so-called retribution is not due to retribution, but the time has not yet come.
If you want to avoid cause and effect, you can only be careful in your words and deeds.
Yes, you can't even talk nonsense.
King Zhou of Shang Dynasty was just a talker, and then his power was gone, which affected all the Jiejiao family and had to bear the infamy for who knows how many years.
The most important thing is that he can't die yet, he can only live with the frustration and depression that will last for who knows how many years.
…
Lu San'er's fate is not good, but he still has good fortune.
Just because there are too many causes and effects in one's body, being able to cultivate one's soul does not necessarily mean that one will be able to pass the limit.
Shan Lao named him Lu Shangren, just to ask him to always remember the word benevolence and resolve disasters with benevolent heart and benevolent deeds.
Lu San'er didn't know if it would work, but he could only treat a dead horse as a living doctor.
…
After the New Year, on the 20th of the first lunar month, a large army arrived outside the mountain stronghold.
It was conspicuous because of the city wall, but they didn't know that the person in charge, Lu San, was a Yuanshen master.
As a result, Lu San'er led his army to attack at night, and used wood magic to create a forest to trap them, and they were instantly defeated.
The commander fled and the army became prisoners.
Out of benevolence, Lu San'er ignored the objections of his men, only took supplies and equipment, and released all the prisoners.
Yamazaki made no comment and will wait and see how things develop.
Not long after, people from above were sent to knock on the door. The leader was Lu Saner's senior brother and the current owner of Lu Family Village.
His master's former owner had left long ago before reaching the age of 120.
Brother Lu was the middle man, and he was accompanied by the envoy of the King of Wu.
Lu San'er also knew that he was instigating the enemy, so he listened to his senior brother's teachings honestly.
However, the envoy of the King of Wu opened his mouth and said that the King of Wu was wise and powerful, had both political integrity and talent, and controlled all parties, but he kept silent. The King of Wu was broad-minded and forgive him this time, but not in the future.
Lu San'er couldn't help but retorted, "The world has not yet been decided, what a shame for the King of Wu!"
"What! How bold! King Wu is destined by fate..."
"Go away, what's so great about the surname Wu? How does a guy who hides in the gutter and gesticulates have the right to be the king?"
"court death!"
They started fighting whenever they disagreed, but it was Lu San'er who won, easily pressing the opponent into the soil with only his head outside.
