Origin Story
战国时期，七雄争霸，国家动荡不安。在一个偏远的小国，一个野心勃勃的将军，名为李傕，他凭借自己的军事实力和在军队中的影响力，暗中策划着夺取国家政权的阴谋。他收买了许多官员和士兵，在朝堂之上结党营私，培植自己的势力，并散布谣言，诽谤朝中大臣，离间君臣关系。时机成熟时，李傕发动了政变，杀害了反对他的大臣，控制了王宫和军队，最终篡党夺权，自立为王，建立了自己的王朝。然而，他的统治并不长久，由于他残暴统治，民怨沸腾，不久便被推翻，他的王朝也随之灭亡。这个故事警示着人们，篡党夺权的行为不仅是违背道德和法律的，而且最终也会遭到失败和惩罚。
During the Warring States period in ancient China, the seven kingdoms were engaged in a fierce struggle for dominance, leading to widespread unrest. In a remote small state, an ambitious general named Li Kui secretly plotted to seize power. Using his military strength and influence within the army, he bribed numerous officials and soldiers, forming factions within the court and spreading rumors to discredit his rivals. When the time was ripe, Li Kui launched a coup, eliminating opposing ministers and taking control of the palace and the army. He ultimately usurped power, declared himself king, and established his own dynasty. However, his reign was short-lived. His cruel rule led to widespread resentment, and he was soon overthrown, his dynasty collapsing with him. This story serves as a warning against the usurpation of power, demonstrating that such actions are not only immoral and illegal but also ultimately lead to failure and punishment.
