"That's right, Ashina Tiandu!"
"He was an incompetent monarch. Not only did he lose his country, but he was also a fleeing emperor. He was a complete joke!"
"With such limited abilities, he dares to rebel? He's even less capable than the old emperor. At least the old emperor was the father-in-law of the Emperor Zhenwu of Great Liang; perhaps we wouldn't have been beaten up!"
" Ashina Tiandu deserve to be emperor, he was just trash!"
Upon hearing the merchant's words, the common people breathed a sigh of relief, but their anger towards Ashina Tiandu surged up, and they wished they could tear him apart alive.
If you're so useless, then don't rebel! You rebelled and still couldn't defend the country. Fine, you couldn't defend the country, but at least take us with you when you ran away!
You bastard, you ran away! You're a traitor! A dog like you doesn't deserve to lead us.
Just then, several dolls bearing the name Ashina Tiandu appeared on the street, written in the Frostwest script, which immediately enraged the angry crowd.
"Get him!"
The people rushed at the doll, punching and kicking it, and some even started tearing it apart with their mouths.
In no time, dozens of dolls were torn to shreds. Not satisfied with that, they even started stomping on the doll corpses.
Upon witnessing this scene, several people not far away couldn't help but reveal strange smiles before disappearing into the crowd.
After venting their anger for a while, the people finally felt relieved and then ran to the notice board, asking, "Now that Great Liang has taken over us, how will they treat us? They won't confiscate our grain, will they?"
This is what the common people care about most. If Great Liang takes away all their grain, they might as well kill them.
The businessman is very responsible and hasn't left yet.
He explained, "Gentlemen, you must remember the following information carefully. Although this war between Great Liang and Frostwest is a just war, it is also a war between nations."
Now that Frostwest has been defeated and the emperor has fled, we will be classified as a defeated nation, Great Liang will take over Frostwest completely, while we will become prisoners and slaves.
However, because Emperor Zhenwu of Great Liang was the son-in-law of Frostwest, he gave the people of Frostwest an opportunity: as long as they behaved well, they could become citizens of Great Liang instead of prisoners and slaves!
Don't say I didn't warn you, the fate of prisoners and slaves is no joke, so please take care!
call!
When the common people heard that they would become prisoners and slaves, their hearts nearly jumped out of their throats.
They used to be a powerful nation, and they never treated slaves and prisoners of war as human beings. If things really came to that, the consequences would be utterly tragic.
Upon hearing the following words, the people immediately knelt down and shouted towards the east, "Long live Zhenwu!"
They understood that if Emperor Zhenwu hadn't shown leniency out of consideration for Princess Anne, they, the people of the defeated nation, would undoubtedly have been taken prisoner.
This goes without saying; after all, it's a national custom and a prize of the victors.
The Emperor Zhenwu saved them from purgatory with a single sentence, which filled the people with gratitude.
"Waaaah, I was so scared! I thought I was going to become a slave and live a life of darkness forever."
" Zhenwu, His Majesty Zhenwu is merciful; otherwise, becoming a slave would mean working day and night without food—that would be truly terrifying."
"Your Majesty is merciful; I will certainly take care of you at home and wish you a long and healthy life..."
The people were all moved to tears. After the rollercoaster of emotions they had gone through, they could appreciate the preciousness of this forgiveness even more.
If it weren't for the Great Emperor Zhenwu of Great Liang, we would all be slaves, and what future would we have?
No, it should be our Great Emperor Zhenwu!
Long live the Emperor!
Long live the Great Emperor Zhenwu!
Soon the entire Tiele City knew the news. All the people were still shaken, and then they felt deep gratitude towards Great Emperor Zhenwu Lin Yi. Slogans like "Long live Great Emperor Zhenwu" rose and fell, and did not stop for a long time.
Now that the danger was over, they were filled with longing for the outside world. They had heard that the people of Great Liang lived the happiest lives, and that they were now under Great Liang's jurisdiction, which was a wonderful thing.
One young man couldn't help but exclaim, "I've heard that in Great Liang, even the poor can study and become officials, and the common people can eat meat and drink wine. Joining Great Liang is truly a blessing in disguise!"
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances, but upon closer reflection, it did indeed make perfect sense.
"Now that you mention it, there's some truth to it. It's said that Great Liang is now known as the cradle of happiness, and the people of Great Liang are very proud!" someone said, unable to contain their longing.
Although many of them had never been to Great Liang, it did not hinder the spread of the news.
The Great Liang Mountains have thousands of acres of sweet potatoes and potatoes, and a thriving fishing industry, so there's no such thing as hunger Great Liang. Recently, news came that children in Great Liang can all go to school, and even the poor can become officials, which fills the people of Frostwest with envy.
If things had continued as they were before, people like us would never have received this kind of treatment in our entire lives, but now this treatment has fallen on our shoulders.
So, it's good that Frostwest was destroyed!
If Frostwest hadn't been destroyed, we wouldn't have received these benefits.
An old man couldn't help but clasp his hands together and pray, "I have no other request, I only hope that Ashina Tiandu will die soon and that Frostwest will be completely destroyed, so that we will have no more worries."
puff!
Upon hearing this, one of Ashina Tiandu almost vomited blood. Was this even human language?
You are a citizen of Frostwest. It's one thing if you don't help restore Frostwest rule, but you actually pray for Frostwest's early demise. That's outrageous!
However, at the same time, he also felt immense pressure.
If things continue like this, His Majesty may find it very difficult to turn the situation around. After all, the people no longer support him, and the army can't just spring up out of thin air.
Just as he was about to turn around, a hand landed on his shoulder.
"Young man, do you feel lost and hopeless? I am Zhang Bao of Taiping in Great Liang, and I have been observing you for a long time." The person behind him looked at him meaningfully.
Grunt!
Upon realizing that the other party had been observing him for a long time, Anzi broke out in a cold sweat, and his body stiffened involuntarily.
He turned around with difficulty and saw the other person's face, his eyes filled with confusion.
A handsome Daoist priest!
