Chapter 397 Times Have Changed

Chapter 397 Times have changed...

Yue State.

Streets of Bozhou.

The Central Army besieged the city, broke into the palace, and captured a group of royal family members including the emperor.

Yue State was established for more than 300 years. Although the country was turbulent and divided by warlords, it was the first time that the rebel army broke into the capital and captured the emperor alive.

As the king of a country, the cultivation of the Emperor of Yue State was not as strong as that of the emperors of the five dynasties, but there was no rival below the sixth realm, and he should not be captured so easily.

Unfortunately, not long ago, the Emperor of Yue abdicated in order to protect himself, and lost his cultivation. Now he can only become a lamb to be slaughtered.

In Bozhou City, whether it is officials and dignitaries or ordinary people, they all hid at home and stayed at home.

The Central Army rebelled and the royal family was captured. I don’t know if they will burn, kill and loot in the city. Everyone’s heart is full of fear of the future.

However, what they worried about did not happen.

After the rebels entered the city, in addition to capturing the royal family, they did not embarrass the people.

Soon after, notices were posted all over the streets and alleys of Bozhou.

The White Wolf Army said that at noon tomorrow, they would publicly try the emperor and the royal family at the gate of the palace, and invite the people of the city to come and watch the ceremony.

The words "trial" and "emperor" always have the emperor in front.

Only the emperor can judge others, who can judge the emperor?

This is a new thing for the people of Yue State, and even the people of the entire continent.

Where have you seen such a thing in your life?

Speaking of the royal family of Yue State, the people are angry but dare not speak. The second prince likes riding and shooting, and often plays with human lives. The third prince likes beauty, and kidnaps women on the street and takes them back to the palace to have sex with the dignitaries. How many women can't bear the humiliation and commit suicide.

Their crimes are endless.

For a time, everyone was curious about tomorrow's public trial.

First of all, they really want to know how they will judge the emperor and the royal family.

Secondly, Bozhou is now under the control of others. These notices are posted all over the city. If you don't go, you will be giving them no face. If you anger them, you will definitely suffer.

After a night of fear, before noon the next day, the crowd began to gather at the gate of the palace.

In the center of the square in front of the palace gate, a line of figures, with their heads covered, knelt with their backs to the palace and facing the people.

More and more people gathered around, not only surrounding the square in front of the palace, but also the surrounding streets and alleys were tightly packed.

"Are those people kneeling in front the royal family?"

"I seem to see the executioner. Are they going to kill the royal family?"

"It should have been killed long ago. The Wu royal family has done so many bad things, and finally someone can punish them..."

"I don't know who they will let be the next emperor..."

...

Dong!

Dong!

Dong!

At noon, three dull bells rang from the city wall.

The crowd's discussion stopped abruptly, and you could hear a pin drop.

The cloth bags on the heads of those kneeling on the high platform were opened, and the people below were in uproar again.

The Wu royal family, including His Majesty the Emperor, who had been calling the shots in Yue for more than 300 years, actually knelt in front of the people.

Since ancient times, the people have always knelt before the emperor.

How could the emperor kneel before the people?

On the square, there was a table. A young man sat behind the table and knocked on the gavel in his hand, saying, "The public trial begins."

His voice was not loud, but it contained a strange power, which was clearly transmitted to the mouths of everyone present.

Several people trembled and walked forward. Just as they were about to kneel down, they were lifted up by an invisible force. The young man said, "No need to kneel. Tell us what grievances you have."

These people heard this and spoke one after another.

"I am suing the second prince Wu Hao. My son was shot dead in the street because he accidentally bumped into his carriage!"

"I am suing the third prince Wu Shuo. My two daughters were abducted by him and humiliated in the palace. They committed suicide because they could not bear the humiliation. The third prince sent someone to warn us that if we tell this matter, he will kill my whole family!"

"I want to sue Prince Ping..."

"I am suing my uncle..."

The Wu family and their relatives rely on their power to do whatever they want and treat human lives as worthless. Because of the protection of your majesty, the government ignores what they do.

After hearing what the people said, the young man walked up to the row of kneeling royal family members and asked, "What else do you have to say about the people's complaint?"

"I am the prince of Yue State, you can't kill me!"

"You have no right to manage the affairs of our Yue State!"

"I have a gold medal of immunity from death, I have a gold medal of immunity from death given by the previous emperor, let me go, I am willing to give you anything!"

...

These royal families of Yue State are of course very clear about what they have done.

However, they used to be high and mighty royal families, and no matter what they did, they did not have to bear any consequences.

But today, as royal family members, they have become prisoners of others, and they can do nothing except roaring like this.

The young man walked to the table, picked up a few command arrows, and said, "For these charges, since you have nothing to refute, you are now sentenced to beheaded according to the law and executed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several executioners who had been prepared walked forward slowly.

"No!"

"Don't kill me!"

"I don't want to die!"

As the executioners raised and lowered their swords, the square finally became much quieter.

Even the people who were whispering and talking endlessly just now became silent.

The heads of the royal family members who were usually high and mighty were still rolling on the ground, and the ground in front of them was also stained with blood.

Dead, these royal family members are really dead!

There are really people who will chop off the heads of royal family members to redress the people!

The young man walked up to a middle-aged man and said calmly: "Emperor Wu Hong of Yue, as the emperor of Yue, you condoned and instructed the central army of Yue to kidnap and traffic countless people of Daxia. Your crimes are heinous and unspeakable. According to the law, you will be sentenced to beheaded immediately. Before you die, do you have anything to say?"

Although the face of the Emperor of Yue was a little haggard, the dignity of a superior that he had cultivated for a long time made him always hold his head high.

He closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Kill him if you want."

The king of a small country is not as good as the minister of a big country, but before he dies, he still has to maintain the dignity of a king.

Li Nuo walked away from him, and an executioner walked up slowly.

Looking at the figure kneeling on the ground, his face showed some excitement.

This is the emperor!

He inherited his father's business and chose this line of work. He never dreamed that one day, the ghost-head knife in his hand would be able to chop off the emperor's head.

Dad, ancestors of the old Wang family, you watch in heaven, I am the most promising man in the old Wang family!

Whoosh!

The big knife cut through the air, and a head flew high. After flying a distance in the air, it rolled several feet away.

The people of Yue State who witnessed this scene in the front couldn't help but step back several steps.

Looking at the head on the ground, their minds were blank.

His Majesty... is dead?

The king of a country, like an ordinary criminal, had his noble head chopped off in public...

This is the first time in history.

This is the first time in Yue State and the first time in all the countries on the continent.

The people of Yue State who witnessed this scene had a very strange feeling in their hearts.

From ancient times to the present, something rooted in their hearts has completely collapsed.

Although no one can explain exactly what this feeling is.

But there is no doubt that...

Times have changed.

After a long silence, an unprecedented light burst out in the eyes of these people of Yue State.

Cheers began to erupt in the crowd, and the sound waves were higher than one wave...

...

No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, one look!

Daxia.

Zhongshu Sheng.

The left and right ministers stood in front of the table, looking at a letter sent urgently from Yue State.

The White Wolf Army has rescued thousands of Daxia people from Yue State and is escorting them back to their country through the border.

At the same time, the Central Army and the Black Tiger Army of Yue were defeated by the White Wolf Army, and then disbanded and reorganized.

This means that Daxia has actually taken control of Yue.

The memorial said that Li Nuo publicly tried the emperor and the royal family of Yue in the capital of Yue, and chopped off their heads in front of countless Yue people. So far, Yue has completely lost the royal family.

Every piece of news written in the memorial shocked the two.

They thought Li Nuo was just going to save people, but unexpectedly, he directly overthrew the Yue regime and killed all the royal family of Yue.

Both of them showed solemnity on their faces.

As Confucians, they recognized Li Nuo's actions.

The royal family, even the emperor himself, should not be above the law.

But those who really hold power on the continent don't think so.

The palace.

The imperial study.

Emperor Xia sat behind a large desk with a secret letter on it.

He looked into the air, tapped the table unconsciously with his index finger, and murmured: "Does Daxia also have a half-sage of the legalists?"

The old eunuch standing behind him smiled and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Daxia has another sixth-level strongman..."

Emperor Xia looked back at him, and the old eunuch's laughter stopped abruptly.

Emperor Xia was silent for a moment, and said: "Pass on my will..."

...

Yue Kingdom.

Bozhou.

After the public trial of the royal family of Yue Kingdom, Li Nuo did not rest.

For some reason, Yue Kingdom had already realized constitutional monarchy, and the three provinces restrained each other. The court had been running smoothly for a long time. Li Nuo did not touch the officials of the Yue Kingdom court.

Except for some corrupt officials reported by the people who were dealt with, most officials were still in the same position as before.

Li Nuo adopted all the reforms of Daxia one by one.

The entire Yue Kingdom was only as big as a few states of Daxia. Many things that were difficult to implement in Daxia were very easy in Yuezhou.

All the land of Yue State was nationalized, redistributed, and prohibited from being bought and sold.

In Daxia, the aristocratic families dominated one side, and the power of the court could not do this.

Yue State also had powerful families, but when the army passed by, they cooperated and handed over most of the land without any tricks.

Maybe Yue State was too small, even if he did these things, his Confucian cultivation still did not break through to the semi-saint.

However, in this process, Li Nuo clearly felt the loosening of his cultivation.

If he could do the same and send the emperors of several small countries to the guillotine, the noble spirit should be enough to break through...

A figure walked into the hall quickly, holding a letter in his hand, and said to Li Nuo: "Master Li, urgent news from Chang'an..."

Li Nuo took the letter, opened it and read it, and put it aside.

This letter was sent from the three provinces, but it was written in the tone of His Majesty.

His Majesty wanted him to support a new emperor in Yue State and replace all the officials in the court of Yue State with people from Daxia.

He finally made Yue State without an emperor, and now he asked him to go back and reverse history?

After a while, Li Nuo walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back and said to Dongfang Xuan who was reading: "Senior Dongfang..."

Dongfang Xuan put down the Ximen family Yin-Yang magic book in his hand and said: "You are now in the sixth realm, so you don't have to call me senior."

Li Nuo looked at his young face and was indeed a little unable to call the word "senior". He sat down opposite Dongfang Xuan and asked: "Do you think that you and I can defeat the emperors of the five dynasties together?"

Dongfang Xuan shook his head without thinking and said: "Impossible."

After that, he added: "In the future, I am afraid that I can't help you with anything..."

Li Nuo was surprised and said: "Why?"

Dongfang Xuan said: "The rest of my life is given by you. In Yin-Yang magic, life span can only be transferred once. Before I break through to the saint, I can't use Yin-Yang magic that consumes life..."

These things, Li Nuo has never seen in the Yin-Yang magic book.

The only means of attack for the Yin-Yang family in the sixth realm is to consume their own lifespan and deprive others of their lifespan. If they cannot perform the Yin-Yang technique that consumes lifespan, they can only tell fortunes in the future.

However, if that's the case, his sixty years of lifespan can't be saved at all.

Dongfang Xuan glanced at Li Nuo and asked, "Which emperor do you want to defeat?"

Li Nuo said, "I'm just asking casually."

Dongfang Xuan shook his head and said, "You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible. Even if you have the cultivation of both Confucianism and Legalism, you are not the opponent of the weakest emperor of the five dynasties. They are carrying the luck of a great country, and even the means of sacrificing lifespan of the Yin-Yang family is useless to them..."

He continued, "Those emperors, even if they are not in their territory, can fight one against two against ordinary half-saints. On their territory, they can easily fight one against three or even one against four. If they are in the capital, they can almost be invincible. The only thing that can defeat them is time..."

Li Nuo knew the power of the emperors of the five dynasties, but he didn't expect them to be so powerful.

After returning to Zhao, I can have a competition with Her Majesty to test her strength.

Li Nuo turned and walked back to the room, put the secret letter back into the envelope, and the damaged wax at the seal instantly returned to normal.

After a while, he handed the letter back to Bai Yu and said, "When you receive this letter, I am no longer in Yue..."
