Chapter 715 Black Chicken is Afraid of Fox Demon
The Imperial Master finished the nine-step dance, which took quite a while. Although it was definitely a graceful woman who danced the best, in the eyes of the officials and the people, it was the Imperial Master who danced the most, which was more interesting. It shocked their hearts, made their brains buzz, and made them feel excited.
Some sharp-eyed officials suddenly trembled in their hearts, and quickly swept their eyes over the people, seeing different expressions, some laughing, some brows downcast, lost in thought. The officials realized the horror of today's scene. The Wuji Kingdom was strictly ruled, with clear classes, people were people, and officials were officials.
Although they are both human, the one wearing the official robe and the one wearing the coarse linen clothes of the ordinary peasants can be regarded as two completely different species. Although it is ironic, it is true.
In the eyes of the people, officials are all great masters, unattainable. The emperor is the son of God, blessed by nature, and it is difficult to even see him. However, today's incident has undoubtedly broken the shackles in the hearts of the people.
Although the people are the people and the officials are officials, they are all human beings. You are a human being, and I am also a human being. Why are you nobler than me? You are the one who acts violently on the stage, and you are also the one who makes a fool of yourself on the stage.
There is no such thing as a lot of teachings that one can hear with one's own eyes. If Li Changxiao whispered to Wanmin and said, "That official is also a human being. There is no reason for him to bully you like this," Wanmin would definitely say, "What kind of person is he? You have to call him master, or else you will be punished."
However, once people see with their own eyes the ugly behavior of the powerful, they will think, "It turns out there is no difference." The delusion in their hearts will disappear by itself.
An official stepped forward, thinking that if the news came out, would there be any peace in the Kingdom of Wuji in the future? So he sacrificed himself to face Li Changxiao, the great demon who "brought disaster to the country and disturbed the people". In his eyes, the word "great demon" was not wrongly attached to Li Changxiao.
Li Changxiao does have a bit of evil in his bones. Although he doesn't have to intervene in everything, if things come to him, he prefers to stir up trouble.
The official put many charges on Li Changxiao, including "bringing disaster to the country and disturbing the people", "destroying rituals and music", "undermining morals", and "deceiving the people". He also said that the whole world belongs to the king, and the stability and prosperity of the country are all established under the majesty of the king. Li Changxiao deliberately undermined the majesty of a country, thereby causing chaos in the country and starting a war, which is an unforgivable crime. He was eloquent and what he said was true.
Li Changxiao smiled and looked at the official quietly. He told the official that he knew nothing about governing a country, but he also knew that the stability of a country should not be achieved by intimidating with majesty, but by conquering with benevolence and righteousness. If the emperor is enlightened and the people are stable, how can anyone rebel? He also told the official that since ancient times, the people have valued the emperor more than the emperor, but the Wuji Kingdom has gone the other way and is not far from destruction.
The official wanted to refute. Li Changxiao's words were even more sharp, pointing directly to the official's true intentions. He spoke out to defend because he had stood on the shoulders of the people with great difficulty. He did not want to see the people awaken. Although he was full of words of saints, in the end, it was only for his own selfish interests.
The official was speechless for a moment. Li Changxiao was really disgusted with the Black Chicken Kingdom. He looked at the official's ugly face. He had not learned to act like a human being, but he had already acted like an official.
So he walked over and slapped him three times. Even so, he still didn't feel satisfied, and turned his eyes to other officials and slapped them all the way.
Hundreds of officials present were beaten black and blue, and this action really vented the anger of the people. Especially those who had been oppressed, they had deeply experienced what it meant to be protected by officials and to eat people without leaving any bones.
After slapping the officials, he went to the king. The officials of Wuji Kingdom deserved to be slapped, and the king of Wuji Kingdom deserved to be slapped even more. Li Changxiao raised his palm and slapped it down. With three light sounds of "slap, snap, snap", he directly slapped the king of a country who was high above him and made him cry.
Li Changxiao wiped his right hand, then used his left hand to slap him three times, saying, "If you rule the country with benevolence and justice, and I hit you, then the people will hate me to death. If you rule the country with violence and intimidation, then the people will no longer be afraid of you and will want to kill you."
After Li Changxiao said this, he felt bored. This farce had really worn off his interest. He stretched himself and walked towards the crowd. Suddenly, his figure disappeared and could not be found again.
……
The incident of the Wuji Kingdom causing a commotion at the execution ground was all the King's own fault. Li Changxiao just went with the flow and was not happy with the officials, so he just slapped them a few times.
Afterwards, Li Changxiao left the Wuji Kingdom. Before leaving, he found that the story of "The fox demon's head was chopped off nine times at the execution ground" and "The evil demon caused chaos in the country's destiny" had spread so quickly that he could hear it being sung everywhere.
There is another rumor. Wuji is most afraid of the fox demon, so the appearance of the fox demon in Wuji country is a sign that the country is about to fall! If you start an uprising at this time, you may be able to achieve success.
The common people believed in these things the most. Quite a few of them actually started an uprising under the name of "Demon Fox", calling themselves the "Demon Fox Cult". They wore white clothes as their religious uniform and their momentum was very strong.
When Li Changxiao reached the border, he had heard that the demon fox had taught him to kill dozens of corrupt officials who were rampant in the village. All the officials changed color when they heard the fox and were half asleep, but they also wanted to keep the lights on.
As Li Changxiao was leaving Wuji Country in a carriage, he was thinking that what he had done was even more evil than Mei Sanniang. After all, Mei Sanniang had only slapped the king six times, making the king hate him for half his life.
He instigated all the officials inside and outside the country, and uprisings broke out everywhere in the Wuji Kingdom. Although it was not instigated by Li Changxiao, it was also caused by him.
Li Changxiao sat back in the carriage, holding the reins, wondering whether his passage through the Kingdom of Black Chicken would bring him good fortune or disaster, or both.
He took a sip of wine and stopped thinking about it. At this time, they were getting closer and closer to the extreme zone.
It was the height of summer. However, a gust of wind blew, and Li Changxiao felt a slight chill in his bones. He was afraid that if he traveled a few hundred miles north, he would see snow.
"It's getting closer..."
Li Changxiao murmured, "I can still see many traces of you on the road. If I find you, what will I see?" He pulled the reins lightly, and the horse's hooves pedaled slowly.
