Chapter 190: The people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least important (please give me a monthly ticket! Please subscribe!)
Zhao Li is dead.

Death is a matter of course.

After all, Wu Xian said from the beginning that he came here to kill the emperor. Since he won in the end, Zhao Li naturally had to die.

However, at this moment, everyone who saw this scene still felt a little confused and at a loss, and it seemed unreal.

After all... this is the emperor!
You must know that Zhao Li is not a foolish ruler or a tyrant.

On the contrary, when he was young, he worked hard to govern the country and showed his talent. He almost pushed the Liyang Dynasty, which was not very prominent at first, to the ranks of powerful countries in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Later, when he reached middle age, he promoted talents in an unconventional way. He lifted Xu Xiao, a peasant with no family background, to the status of a world-famous general. In just over a decade, he conquered five countries and made the Liyang Dynasty the unified power it has today.

It is no exaggeration to say that based on his achievements alone, Zhao Li is fully worthy of the title of Sage King. Looking at the history of this world, there are few emperors who can compare with him.

But such a good emperor died in front of them, and in such an undignified way.

For a moment, the cabinet ministers who had received favors from Zhao Li in the past suddenly felt angry and pointed at Wu Xian, ready to curse.

Buzz————! ! !
A golden light flashed, and the cabinet minister who had just raised his hand suddenly disappeared, his body turned into ashes. At the same time, the sad atmosphere at the scene was also annihilated, and was replaced by an inextricable fear.

"Sir...are you planning to destroy the last of the Liyang Dynasty's fortune?"

In the silence, Prime Minister Zhang Julu stood up and stood in front of the young eunuchs, or rather, the descendants of the Zhao family, with an appearance of being ready to sacrifice himself.

“How could that be? I’ve said before that I’m only here to kill the old emperor and have no interest in destroying the Liyang Dynasty.

So, you guys over there, don't be so wary of me, and don't try to gather your luck to fight me. After all, if we really fight, you don't know whether you will die, but the guy behind you will definitely not survive."

Wu Xian said the last sentence to the young eunuch.

There is not much difference in hard power between the two sides. Wu Xian can only be considered slightly better, but the young eunuch has a fatal weakness, which is that his own destiny is too deeply bound to the Zhao family of Liyang.

Therefore, every time Wu Xian killed a member of the Zhao family, Li Yang's luck would be weakened, and the strength of the young eunuch would also be weakened. As a result, he would never be able to defeat Wu Xian and could only be abused.

As if he had thought of this, the young eunuch's face darkened and he spoke slowly, "Zhao Li is dead, and your goal has been achieved. What else do you want to do? Why not tell us clearly all at once?"

"To be honest, I didn't have any idea at first, but after those guys from Longhu Mountain came out, I did have some ideas."

As Wu Xian said this, he had already started to think in his mind.

Originally, he had been keeping a low profile in the Wu Family Sword Tomb, not daring to come out and mess around. In addition to the need to adapt and organize his own strength, he was also afraid that his behavior of disrupting the script would attract the attention of the people in heaven.

After all, although both are "book flippers", Wu Xian and Huang Longshi have completely different concepts. They truly go beyond the books and do not play by the rules.

What if one day the celestial beings thought he was too much of a threat and opened the Heavenly Gate early, allowing a large number of immortals to retain their strength and descend to the mortal world, staging a righteous mass brawl, with even powerful beings at the level of the Five Emperors of the Five Directions taking action? That would be a huge mess. But not long ago, the ancestors of Longhu Mountain descended to the mortal world, obviously having learned of Wu Xian's existence. Even so, they still sent only three powerful terrestrial immortals, just like in the original novel.

Even though this was a test, it was too perfunctory. After all, based on the intelligence and the strength Wu Xian had shown before, he was fully capable of competing with Wang Xianzhi. He had to get a capable warrior down, otherwise it would be no different from giving away experience.

So there is only one truth, that is, the so-called people from heaven really cannot come to the human world easily. Even if they know that an uncontrollable existence has appeared in the world and will destroy their plans to fish for luck, they can only deal with it in a roundabout way.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the other party is showing weakness to the enemy and wants to relax his vigilance, but if so, doesn’t it also mean that the other party is empty inside and has no absolute confidence in dealing with himself?
In that case...

As if he had thought of it, Wu Xian couldn't help but raise an evil arc at the corner of his mouth, but thinking that he was a positive character, he raised his hand to suppress it, coughed, and said seriously:
"The world has suffered from wars for too long, and everyone hopes for a peaceful and prosperous era. As everyone knows, Xu Xiao has conquered five kingdoms in a row and is about to take over Western Chu. This could have ended the Spring and Autumn War sooner.

But what was the result? Zhao Li, knowing full well that changing commanders before a battle was a taboo in military strategy, still transferred Xu Xiao, the commander of the army, away from the front lines. Such behavior was absurd and childish.

Therefore, I am beheading him here today. Besides personal grudges, I am also seeking justice for the suffering people of the world."

The impassioned speech was so shocking that everyone looked extremely strange.

How should I put it? These words make sense, but when they come from a lawless person, it just feels awkward.

For a moment, everyone felt like they had countless complaints stuck in their chests, but they had nowhere to vent, which made them very uncomfortable.

"Of course, Zhao Li was wrong, but Xu Xiao's murder of his father and his king is still an unforgivable sin, so arrest him if he deserves it, and kill him if he deserves it. You don't need to let him go easily just because of my relationship with his wife. To do so would be an insult to me, Wu."

Why is it Xu Xiao? Weren’t you the one who killed the emperor? Or did you think we really believed your previous lies?

Everyone was speechless. They couldn't understand why there could be such a shameless person in this world, and how he could have such powerful military force. Is God blind?
"...Your Excellency is very understanding and righteous. I admire you."

After a while, it was Zhang Julu who spoke again. He looked puzzled and said, "The late emperor has passed away, and Liyang is leaderless. Xu Xiao is the key to defeating Western Chu, so we can't punish him lightly. In this situation, I wonder if you have any suggestions."

"This is easy!"

Wu Xian raised his eyebrows, his eyes sweeping over the eight adult princes and four princesses who were not mentioned in the original novel. He made a decision with a wave of his hand:

"A sage once said: The people are the most important, the country is second, and the emperor is the least important. Therefore, if you want to be a good emperor, you must ensure that the people live a good life. Li Yang now occupies 24 states. Let them each govern two states for one year. Whoever ensures the best life for the people will be the emperor!"

"As for Western Chu, it's easy too. Send someone to tell Xu Xiao that he has one year to conquer Western Chu and then return to Tai'an City to apologize. Otherwise, I don't mind letting his wife remarry and finding a stepfather for his son!"
