(Linghai Calendar Year 1081) Yang Zhong, who was going south, was captured by the army of Nanxiao Kingdom. In fact, he had nowhere to go, so he did not resist.
Yang Zhong went to war with the army and rose through the ranks with his achievements in killing enemies, but he increasingly couldn't understand why his family was like that before.
It wasn't until I was promoted to general after accumulating merit that I finally woke up like an enlightenment after listening to Shangguan's words.
The Northern Kingdom follows the imperial system, where the nobles come first, and they have to be ranked in the ninth rank. It is even more difficult for a poor family to get ahead. Therefore, no matter how high his family's reputation was before, it was just rough. The people above them were polite on the surface, but in fact they looked down on them at all.
The Southern Kingdom has ended the Great Suppression. Although the big families are still there, they are not allowed to take power. They vigorously promote poor families and promote only their talents to form a new gentry to fight against the old gentry.
In this way, he, a little soldier, can stand out.
…
Yang finally thought about revenge and tried his best, but ended up becoming an upstart of the new forces, a thorn in the side of the old forces, and was involved in the struggle between the old and new forces.
The poor family has little background and is eager for quick success. In the face of interests, they were divided by the old forces and a small group of people became victims.
Yang Zhong was among them, and he had to follow his colleagues who also failed to follow the prince of the north, and fled back to the north under the banner of self-reliance, intending to serve the king.
At this time (1085 in the Linghai Calendar), although the Yuan clan was still the king in the north, the government was controlled by powerful ministers.
It's just that King Qin didn't succeed. The prince they followed died, but they survived.
Especially Yang Zhong, the powerful officials valued Yang Zhong's strength.
Yang Zhong, however, was no longer dumbfounded. He pretended to be accommodating and made new friends.
But after waiting for four years, what we saw was that the emperor allowed himself to be bullied by powerful ministers, and what he waited for was the rise of new powerful ministers.
And because he had friends and bosses around him, he couldn't help but take sides, and he couldn't help but follow his boss to support the new master and flee.
Unfortunately, they encountered obstacles on the way, so they occupied the city and defended it, covering their master's escape.
This situation lasted for half a year, but the bad news came. The escaped master was poisoned and killed by the powerful officials over there.
Seeing that the Northern Kingdom was divided into two parts by the two powerful officials in the east and west, they didn't know what to do.
In the end, he accepted the Nanxiao Kingdom's persuasion to surrender and became an official of the Nanxiao people, because the pursuers would never let them go.
…
Three years later, Yang finally followed his boss to find an opportunity to return to the Northern West Country, because his family, relatives and friends were all there.
Yang Zhong's strength was once again favored by powerful officials and he was reused.
…
(Linghai Calendar 1097) Yang Shi gave birth to a son named Yang Jian, who cultivated virtue through frugality.
After he became an official, he read and pondered what he saw and heard again, only to realize that benevolence is important.
He is known as the ultimate demon, but looking at the general trend of the world, it is simply impossible.
On the contrary, only benevolence can gather the strength of everyone to eliminate demons and end troubled times.
Yang Zhong didn't know that Yang Jian corresponded to Yang Jian.
…
Nine years later, the Eastern Kingdom changed its dynasty.
In another seven years, Yang finally broke through the southern Xiao capital as part of the army going south.
The powerful ministers used their merits to force the emperor to abdicate, and the Western Kingdom also changed its dynasty to the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
In the same year, most of the territory of Nanxiao was also replaced. The powerful ministers established themselves as emperors, and the country was named Chen, which was called Nanchen.
The next year, Yang finally became Zhu Guo.
Another year, Yang was finally named the Duke of the country.
Three more years later, Yang finally became one of the three princes.
The Yang family has truly become a powerful member, marrying many aristocratic families, and using this as a link to form a considerable force.
But Yang Zhong, who has been around for many years, knows that he is still very weak to the people above him, and only the happiness from above can kill his whole family at any time.
No one can help him. It's good if those relatives can hide far away. There will be many people from the Yang family who push him behind his back.
Yang Zhong knew that there were many pairs of eyes staring at him, just waiting for him to make a mistake.
The people above will not tolerate him, but will punish him severely and find someone to replace him, just like he replaced his boss.
It's not that he wants to replace him, it's because his boss was forced to death by his superiors and asked him to replace him.
What can he do? If you don't do it, you will die. Only by doing it can you show your loyalty and give your superiors temporary peace of mind.
Yang finally chose to stay away from the center of the whirlpool.
In other words, going out to fight is a bit more difficult, but relatively safe and meritorious.
It's just that the superiors are not at ease, so they have to make more calculations.
(Linghai Kingdom Calendar Year 1124) Yang finally died on the battlefield fighting the demon army.
27-year-old Yang Jian knew that although the demon army was hateful, it was the one above who really killed his father.
But he was unable to take revenge, so he could only hold on to his father's sword under the banner of filial piety, and returned to the fiefdom inheriting his father's legacy.
…
Yang Jian didn't know that the ancestral sword he was holding was the Xuanyuan Sword.
His father held the Xuanyuan Sword for forty-four years, almost ninety-five.
He is one of the Three Dukes, and he is a very popular minister. He is just short of breaking through the destiny.
Yang will eventually die at this time, because he is not born with enough character. His final name is to put an end to the Yang family's past.
However, the merits of the Yang family were not enough. After the Yang family established the villa, they survived eight or nine times, but they could not turn the grass into a dragon.
The disaster that caused the destruction of the Yang family was that there was not enough merit, and the cause and effect arrived first. He took his life to fill in the cause and effect and accumulated merit for Yang Zhong to use.
But Yang Zhong also missed it. The accumulated merits were not enough and only supported him to San Gong.
Cause and effect comes first, so he dies.
At the same time, this is also the number of days, using the Yang family's merits to save the world from demons and defending Taoism, and using Yang Zhong's merits of fighting for the Northern Zhou Dynasty for a lifetime, to serve as Yang Jian's back below.
…
manor.
Yang Jian practiced hard day and night and fell ill on the bed. His wife knelt down and prayed to the Medicine Buddha all the way.
Yamazaki stood in the sky and watched. Next to him were the Medicine Buddha and the two Bodhisattvas of the sun and moon to his left and right.
Medicine Buddha smiled bitterly, "Amitabha, is this donor trying to rob Buddhism again?"
"Do you think I want to take care of this shit here?" Yamazaki also had a black line on his forehead, "It's all about cause and effect on my side, Yang Jian's, Yang Chuan's, me and the person named Yang, there is endless cause and effect. .”
"Amitabha." One Buddha and two Bodhisattvas, the three of them couldn't help but shout the Buddha's name to stop laughing.
Without it, there would still be Yang Linglong and Yang Mingyue, all Yang.
Yamazaki sighed: "Yang Jian is now in the third ninety-nine tribulations of fate. It is a big cause and effect. He will be repaid with big results in the future."
"Now that the Northern Zhou Dynasty has destroyed Buddhism, it seems that he will protect Buddhism in the future."
Moonlight Bodhisattva chuckled, "This is my opportunity to become a Buddhist, and I didn't even look at his wife to seek enlightenment, right?"
Yamazaki had a headache, "This is how the Tao retreats and the Buddha advances. Even if the Buddha is destroyed, there will still be many Buddhist temples left, but how many Taoist temples are there?"
Sunlight Bodhisattva put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, this is not my fault."
"Yeah, I'm just unlucky." Yamazaki thought, "That's all, you save people, and I'll form another cause and effect with Buddhism here. As for whether to pay back the debt, we'll talk about it later."
Medicine Buddha calculated, but there was no result.
However, after receiving the message from Lord Chunti Buddha, I agreed.
…
After Yang Jian overcame the difficulties, he was no longer so eager for quick success when he started practicing again, and he steadily improved in this way.
After observing his filial piety for three years, he attacked the devil in the name of avenging his father.
Six years later, the emperor died and a new emperor ascended the throne.
Although the new emperor was Yang Jian's son-in-law, he knew that Yang Jian was extremely dangerous.
It's just that he is too young and has no power, but he doesn't even dare to call people to kill Yang Jian in court.
