to consolidate
his dictatorship.

Lu leant about Zhou Xu's
usurpation of state
power and his ambitious plan, he
asked a
senior official,
Xu's move? official answered,
indulges in wars ,
bringing his people much
disaster. He won't get their
support. And he's
capricious, so few of his close
friends follow
him. He can never achieve his success.

endlessly without restraint, he'll eventually
burn
