Xu Weixiong had strong karmic obstacles related to forbearance, which is one of the six perfections in Tantric Buddhism.
The Six Perfections of Esoteric Buddhism: Generosity, Morality, Patience, Diligence, Meditation, and Wisdom!
These six degrees are the content of the fourth to ninth levels of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, which Li Chang'an is naturally very familiar with.
The Six Perfections are six methods for controlling one's vital energy. The positive aspect of forbearance refers to enduring slander and insults while maintaining a firm resolve in one's spiritual path.
However, some esoteric Buddhist sects can inflict negative energy on people, which is called karmic retribution for forbearance.
The function of this karmic obstacle is to push forbearance to the extreme. It can enable a person to remain calm and tolerant towards any hatred, transforming forbearance into forgiveness, and thus finding peace of mind.
After being subjected to the karmic burden of forbearance, Xu Weixiong was able to emotionally transform his deepest national and familial hatred into forgiveness and find peace of mind.
That's why she was so devoted to being a member of the Xu family, and she did so with such a clear conscience.
In the folk tradition, this method of manipulating emotions by imbuing them with karmic burdens is commonly known as the Tantric art of closing one's mind, similar to later psychological hypnosis and thought imprinting.
The White-Robed Guanyin, the head of the Red Sect of Esoteric Buddhism in the Western Regions, has always wanted to win over the Northern Liang to help her compete for power with the White and Yellow Sects.
Therefore, her disciple, Master Longshou, was a frequent visitor to the Northern Liang King's Palace.
Li Chang'an had reason to suspect that this high-ranking Tantric monk played an important role in Li Yishan's training of the Northern Liang assassins.
If Xu Weixiong can overcome the karmic obstacle of enduring humiliation, he will become a vanguard in the fight against Northern Liang.
In the original novel, the more obedient she was to the Xu family, the more she hated them after she was freed from her karmic obstacles.
Li Chang'an wanted Xu Weixiong to slaughter the Xu family and abuse Xu Fengnian, so that Beiliang would suffer the consequences of its actions.
Xu Weixiong witnessed the tragic deaths of his family members as a child, which caused him great distress and generated deep-seated hatred.
Then that Master Longshou imposed the karmic obstacle of forbearance on her, manipulated her inner emotions, and suppressed Xu Weixiong's national and personal hatred.
Now that Xu Weixiong has witnessed so many people being dragged to their deaths, he is deeply traumatized and this is the perfect opportunity to break free from his karmic obstacles.
At this moment, the ground beneath the city wall was stained red, and the Yongzhou cavalry were still dragging the Beiliang soldiers along at breakneck speed.
Xu Weixiong's screams almost drowned out the shouts from below the city gate.
At that moment, her mind went completely blank, and she lost control of her emotions.
Li Chang'an used the Dragon-Capturing Skill to casually release several streams of internal energy, injecting them into Xu Weixiong's body according to the methods of Tantric Buddhism.
Subsequently, the negative energy emanating from Xu Weixiong began to dissipate slowly, and the karmic obstacles of forbearance were gradually removed.
"Mother, sister..."
Xu Weixiong gradually regained his senses, and his emotions underwent a dramatic transformation.
The tragic deaths of his mother and sister are no longer a tranquil memory, but a deep-seated hatred!
The seemingly honest and kind-hearted Xu Xiao is no longer a loving father, but a mortal enemy!
She now fully understands the hints she received during her previous assassin training.
She had been blindly recognizing her enemy as her father, treating him as family!
Her expression gradually turned cold, and a murderous intent surged into her heart.
"Northern Liang... is not home!"
"I am the daughter of Ye Baikui, the military strategist! Not some princess of Beiliang!"
"Chen Zhibao! Li Yishan! Xu Xiao!"
"To kill someone, you must also destroy their spirit!"
Then, she slowly turned to Li Chang'an.
She could certainly understand that her change of heart was the work of Li Chang'an.
Xu Weixiong knelt down before Li Chang'an and respectfully thanked him.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for lifting the spell that sealed my heart."
Li Chang'an said calmly, "Ye Baikui was a renowned general, a true hero."
"I really don't want to see him without an heir."
Now, thinking of his father and mother, Xu Weixiong felt almost ashamed to death.
She recognizes her enemy as her father and her enemy as her family; wouldn't that mean her father would be childless?
"Wei Xiong... deeply regrets his past actions and feels extremely ashamed."
Xu Weixiong's emotional value surged to sixty, indicating that his karmic obstacles have been completely removed.
"Xu Weixiong, you've been reborn, don't you want to change your name?"
Xu Weixiong gritted his teeth and said, "I have failed my parents. If I don't kill the entire Xu family, how can I face changing back to my original surname?"
"I'll keep this name to constantly remind myself of my revenge!"
Li Chang'an said, "You can call yourself whatever you want. What are you planning to do next?"
Xu Weixiong said firmly, "We will fight Beiliang to the death!"
"Your Highness dared to severely injure Chu Lushan and provoke Xu Xiao, which I greatly admire."
"Moreover, Your Highness has shown me great kindness, and I am willing to serve Your Highness with utmost loyalty!"
Li Chang'an said, "I do not accept useless people."
"I don't know what skills you have yet, so for now, you'll have to work as a maid in the Prince's mansion."
Xu Weixiong was aware of her situation. Although her feelings had completely changed, she was almost like a different person.
However, to outsiders, she was still the Second Princess of Northern Liang.
Moreover, she was also Li Chang'an's prisoner.
The transition from princess to maid was still somewhat abrupt for her.
But she always felt that Li Chang'an's tone and demeanor did not resemble that of a sixteen-year-old boy at all.
That composed demeanor and the imposing presence he exuded were no less than Xu Xiao's.
The order Li Chang'an issued made her feel almost unable to refuse.
"Thank you for taking me in, Your Highness. I will obey your command."
The princess was detained by Li Chang'an during the procession from Beiliang that came to annul the engagement.
Chu Lushan was imprisoned in a brothel and eavesdropped on every night, while all the other soldiers were dragged to their deaths by warhorses.
Li Chang'an has done everything he could; now it's up to the Li Yang court and Bei Liang to react.
In the days that followed, Xu Weixiong became Li Chang'an's personal maid.
Xu Weixiong did all the work, including warming the bed, massaging the shoulders, and kneading the legs.
Although it was very difficult to get used to at first, I gradually got used to it.
After all, she had no relatives or friends left, and nowhere else in the world to go.
Li Yang and Bei Liang were both her enemies, while Li Chang'an was a descendant of the eight states of the Spring and Autumn Period, so they were somewhat in the same boat.
Moreover, Xu Weixiong gradually discovered that Li Chang'an was no ordinary person.
This Prince Tang clearly has a strong underground influence.
If she wanted to seek revenge against Beiliang, she couldn't do it on her own, and Li Chang'an was a good match for her.
Tai'an City.
What happened in Yongzhou was no small matter for the Liyang Dynasty.
Xu Xiao was so powerful that no one in the court dared to offend him.
The person currently discussing this matter with the new emperor Zhao Chun is Han Shengxuan, the chief eunuch of the Directorate of Ceremonial.
In the Liyang Dynasty, high-ranking eunuchs were called Diao Si, and this Han Diao Si was nicknamed "Human Cat".
The three great demons of the Li Yang Dynasty: Xu Rentu, Han Renmao, and Huang Sanjia!
Han Shengxuan is known as the number one Finger Profound Realm expert in the world, and can even kill celestial phenomena with his Finger Profound Realm.
"Your Majesty, this matter has caused quite a stir, and the ministers have three different opinions."
"The first possibility is that Li Chang'an, a remnant of the former Southern Tang dynasty, overstepped his authority in handling local affairs, which provided an opportunity to abolish the feudal system."
The emperor dismissed it, saying, "These people are either Xu Xiao's cronies or bookworms!"
Han Diaosi continued, "The second view is to sit back and watch the tigers fight, and it would be best to provoke Xu Xiao so that he would kill Li Chang'an!"
"The third view is that this is a great opportunity to weaken and control Northern Liang!"
"Your Majesty can bestow favors upon Li Chang'an, encourage him to fight against Northern Liang, and make the Prince of Tang a tool in Your Majesty's hand!"
After the emperor finished asking about the reports submitted by the ministers, he did not ask Han Diaosi about how to make a decision.
Han Diaosi was merely a powerful tool for him, not a capable assistant.
Half an hour later, the imperial tutor Yuan Benxi was summoned to the palace.
It was precisely because of Yuan Benxi's strong support that Zhao Chun was able to inherit the throne.
Therefore, after ascending the throne, the emperor showed great respect to his imperial tutor, Yuan Benxi.
