But this era is also filled with injustice, with constant warfare resulting in the decline of hundreds of feudal states, leaving only a few dozen. Many feudal states have experienced multiple destructions and revivals. Kings seize the opportunity to invade when another king mourns the death of a relative or when the kingdom faces disasters. Rulers prioritize personal gain over trust and righteousness. They fail to rule as true kings, and their subjects fail to serve as loyal subjects.
