Quick Wear: The Demon Lord blew up the tomb at the beginning
Chapter 273 I Make Heaven and Earth Godless (1)
In Wuhui Palace, the candlelight kept flickering. Xie Lang sat on the throne, neither sad nor happy, just looking at the woman standing in the palace.
Lu Zhaoping was dressed in a dark-colored robe, his back was straight, his eyebrows and eyes were majestic, but his expression was full of grief and anger.
She is the daughter of the governor of Jiangdong County. The emperor Xie Yuanjing is incompetent and has a tragic love affair with the queen Jiang Nishang. He renovates the palace from time to time to make the beautiful woman smile, and kills all the ministers who try to persuade him.
Taxes were increasing every year, and the people were suffering. They had already reached the point where they had to trade their children for food. His father, Lu Dongli, could not bear this, so he wrote a memorial to the emperor, reporting the real situation and saying that "the people had no food to collect", and advised the emperor to reduce taxes and levies, govern the country seriously, and not indulge in love with his children.
However, he did not expect that it would lead to his own death. Xie Yuanjing believed that the truth told by Lu Dongli was a lie and a crime of deceiving the emperor. Asking him to reduce taxes and levies was an insult to him as a tyrant, and asking him not to indulge in love was a slander on the queen he loved deeply. It was simply outrageous.
First, Lu Dongli was arrested and brought to the capital to be convicted. Soon after, his entire family was sentenced to death. Lu Dongli himself was cooked alive in the court, in front of all the ministers. He was boiled in a cauldron with hot water. The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment, but Xie Yuanjing and Jiang Nishang were laughing and flirting, showing their affection amid the screams of others.
After the news of Lu Dongli's death reached Jiangdong, the people were indignant about him, and Lu Dongli's subordinates also thought that his death was not worth it.
Lu Zhaoping saw her father being murdered, saw people everywhere being crushed by harsh politics, and saw the tyrant emperor being licentious and immoral, so she rebelled, seeking justice for her father and for the people of the world.
With a single call from a high place, people gathered around him and soon gathered the people of Jiangdong to become the first to start a rebellion.
Afterwards, Lu Zhaoping gathered the strength of tens of thousands of people, stormed into Chang'an, and beheaded Xie Yuanjing and Jiang Nishang on a high platform. He not only killed his enemies with his own hands, but also won the hearts of the people.
Finally, with the support of the people, he ascended the throne, abolished harsh policies, implemented benevolent policies, and calmed the people's hearts.
However, he did not expect that Xie Yuanjing and Jiang Nishang were not ordinary mortals, but the prince Yuanjing and the fairy Nishang from heaven.
Yuan Jing came down to earth to experience trials and tribulations, and Nishang followed him and jumped off the Zhuxiantai. Both of them retained their memories but lost their magic powers. One became the king of Daliang, and the other became the prime minister's legitimate daughter. They continued to act out the love-hate relationship in the mortal world, treating the country and the society as a joke.
It was because of Xie Yuanjing's absurd behavior that caused the people of the country to become disunited, and Lu Zhaoping pushed him off the throne.
This also ruined Yuan Jing's plan of tribulation. Yuan Jing could not accept that the throne was taken away by a mortal. After returning to heaven, the first thing he did was to take revenge on Lu Zhaoping and those rebellious people.
Yuan Jing hated Lu Zhaoping extremely. He hated her for taking away his throne, causing him to fail in his tribulation and losing face. He hated her for being a mere mortal, and a woman at that, yet she dared to kill the emperor. This was simply against the will of heaven.
So he arrested Lu Zhaoping and brought her to heaven for trial, charging her with hundreds of crimes, most of which were "killing the king with a minister, misleading the people, rebelling, high treason, disrespecting the gods, and going against heaven..."
Finally, in front of all the people on earth, Lu Zhaoping was stripped naked and tortured to death. Endless natural disasters were brought down, including floods, droughts, locust plagues, malaria and other disasters, and the world became a hell for a while.
But those gods were laughing, as if saying, see, this is the price of your rebellion.
You are untouchables, and you should be untouchables for the rest of your lives. No matter how heavy the taxes and labor service are, you have to endure them. If you resist, you are a troublemaker, a mob, a rebel, and you are going against the will of heaven.
Lu Zhaoping just wanted to ask, why?
The emperor has no virtue, so a virtuous person should take over. The people are all rebellious, but he does not reflect on his own mistakes, but blames the people for daring to rebel?
What kind of justice is this? Just because he is the prince of heaven, does that mean he is naturally justified?
"The gods came down to earth just for love, but their thrones were taken away by mortals. Hahahahaha, how ridiculous! They can't stand losing, so they got angry and used their divine powers to deal with mortals. If I was wrong in taking his throne, just punish me. What's the fault of the people?"
"Hahahaha, it turns out that the gods can't protect the people at all. They are only interested in their own interests. They can massacre millions of people for so-called love, and they can also bring down natural disasters for the sake of face. In the eyes of those high and mighty gods, what are the people and the common people? Are they pigs and dogs, lowly ants, or tools to promote the development of love?"
Lu Zhaoping's eyes turned red, and he roared in tears: "I refuse to accept being judged by such a god."
Then, Lu Zhaoping looked at Xie Lang and expressed her wish: "All I want is one word, and that is justice."
Justice lies in the hearts of people, but where are the hearts of people?
Xie Yuanjing implemented harsh policies, causing the people to live in misery. Lu Zhaoping raised an army to rebel, punish the tyrant, and implement benevolent policies. She was able to succeed in the rebellion because the world had suffered from Xie Yuanjing for a long time and because she had won the hearts of the people.
Xie Yuanjing returned to heaven and, in revenge for Lu Zhaoping's seizure of the throne, not only tried her with the so-called crimes of "regicide" and "rebellion against heaven", but also sent down natural disasters to punish those who rebelled against her. Is this the so-called god and justice?
Just because Xie Yuanjing is the emperor or a god, if he raises the butcher knife, the people should just wait and be slaughtered?
Lu Zhaoping doesn't believe it. She doesn't believe this is fair. She thinks justice does not lie in heaven or in the so-called gods, but in the people, in the hearts of the masses, and in the hearts of millions of people.
"What you're asking for is justice."
Xie Lang walked down the stairs and came towards Lu Zhaoping. He stopped one step in front of her and turned his back to Lu Zhaoping: "Why not be bolder? For example, kill the gods and make the world no longer have gods."
Lu Zhaoping was stunned and turned around to look at Xie Lang. Xie Lang had already walked far away and he could only see her back getting farther and farther away.
…………
Jiangdong County Governor's Mansion.
It has been some time since Lu Dongli submitted the memorial of advice.
Wang Li was the emperor's eunuch. Following Xie Yuanjing's order, he took a hundred men and horses to take Lu Dongli to Chang'an to be punished.
After Wang Li read out the imperial edict to take Lu Dongli to Chang'an for questioning, Lu Dongli said, "The taxes are too heavy. People have to sell their children to survive. As the governor of Jiangdong County, what crime have I committed to persuade Your Majesty to reduce the taxes?"
Wang Li was a eunuch, physically disabled and mentally twisted. Seeing the minister he once could not reach become a criminal, he could not help but feel smug. He looked down at Lu Dongli and said, "Guilty or not is not decided by the county governor, but by Your Majesty. If the king wants the minister to die, the minister must die. County Governor Lu, please!"
As he spoke, a group of people rushed up and put a wooden shackle on him without giving Lu Dongli a chance to speak.
Just when Lu Dongli was being escorted into the prison van, Xie Lang walked in directly and put his sword on Wang Li's neck in an instant.
Everyone present was terrified, and Lu Dongli never expected his daughter to be so bold.
"Zhao Ping, stop, what are you doing?"
Putting a sword on an angel's neck is treason!
It is a serious crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the clan.
Wang Li was also frightened, but he thought she wouldn't dare to kill him, so he said, "Hurry up...hurry up and put the sword away, otherwise I will report it to His Majesty and I will kill all my clans. Are you going to kill your whole family?"
Xie Lang ignored him, looked in the direction of Lu Dongli, and lightly slashed his neck with the sword, causing blood to flow out directly.
Wang Li hurriedly said, "Quick...quick...quickly let him go."
After those people released Lu Dongli, Wang Li said to Xie Lang: "You can let him go now..."
boom! !
The head fell to the ground, blood splattered everywhere, and everyone at the scene was stunned.
"You, you, you...you actually killed an angel?" Lu Dongli looked at Xie Lang in disbelief. He didn't expect his daughter to be so bold. It would have been fine if she had just threatened the angel, but now she wanted to kill him directly.
Isn't this rebellion?
Other officials present were also stunned.
"Father, going to Chang'an means death, and rebelling also means death. Since both are death, why not rebel?"
Xie Lang's expression did not change from beginning to end. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood-stained sword elegantly, saying leisurely: "In order to prevent father from having any escape route, I have no choice but to help him make the decision."
