The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

Chapter 53 If you refuse, I will respect you as a man of honor and arrange for you to be executed by

Magnanimity!?

How could you possibly be associated with the words "magnanimous"?

Wanyan Zongwang felt his mouth was extremely dry.

He tried to open his mouth.

"Your Majesty, what if we refuse?"

"Refuse? I've also prepared executioners for you, all professionals. You'll be executed by slow slicing, and I won't let you die before you've been cut into three thousand pieces."

"Of course, this is a meticulous job. If you want to die, you may have to wait in line. After all, a perfect slow slicing takes about three days for one person."

Zhao Kuangyin grinned.

That smile sent a chill down Wanyan Zongwang's spine.

It's either humiliation or death.

The way they treated Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan back then is about to be returned to them so quickly.

"Have you thought it through? If you refuse, I will respect you as a man of principle and have the executioner put you to death first, as a favor from me. How about it?"

how is it?

Do you respect me as a real man?

No matter how much you respect him, he's still just a dead man!

Wanyan Zongwang really wanted to tell him to die.

But he knew he didn't want to die.

"I am willing to wear sheep's skin, willing to be slaughtered..."

Upon hearing this, he collapsed to the ground like a deflated balloon.

He wants to live!

"It seems that the backbone of you Jurchens isn't worth much money, at least not as much as your lives."

Zhao Kuangyin gave him a meaningful look.

"In that case, take General Wanyan away. Gather the soldiers, rally the officials, find the surviving civilians, and tell them that tomorrow in Bianjing, I will hold a grand sheep-leading ceremony!"

"Anyone can choose their own sheep at will. From now on, these sheep will be their slaves. They can kill them at will if they don't like them, or slaughter them for meat if they can't afford to raise them. In any case, I will bring back more sheep in the near future."

Repay the other person with his own way!

Zhao Kuangyin was determined to overturn the balance of power between the Jin and Song people in one fell swoop!

The phrase "killing at will" directly equates the Jurchens with livestock.

Taking things one step at a time is too slow; Zhao Kuangyin was going to use drastic measures!

"Your Majesty the Great Ancestor, you!?"

Wanyan Zongwang's eyes widened.

He never imagined that he would not only have to endure humiliation, but also become someone else's slave!

"Don't worry, General Wanyan, you won't become a slave to ordinary people. Prime Minister Li Gang admires you. You will become his sheep. At least one thing is guaranteed: he won't be so poor that he kills you to eat."

Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile.

Seemingly to echo his words, Li Gang cast a meaningful glance his way.

That look seemed to be asking Wanyan Zongwang a question.

When you humiliated the Song Dynasty in the past, did you ever think about this day?

Wanyan Zongwang: "..."

Having understood the meaning in Li Gang's eyes, he could only smile bitterly.

If he had known that such a miraculous situation would occur, he would never have done those things!

"Li Gang, remember to take General Wanyan out for a few laps tomorrow, so that my subjects may know that from now on, the positions of the Song and Jin people should be reversed!"

The following day, the sheep-leading ceremony commenced on schedule.

At first, countless golden figures clad in various skins waited quietly on the emptied training ground.

There were many people watching outside the drill ground, but for a while no one dared to enter.

Even though the Jurchens were on all fours with chains around their necks, their past fears still kept them from moving forward, and they only dared to watch from afar.

"Has it really gotten to this point?"

"The Jurchens were unarmed and allowed to kill at will, yet they didn't even dare to seek revenge?"

Li Er found it hard to believe.

In his view, even the lowest-class people should have the courage to fight back!

"They dare to shed blood when facing their own people, after all, that anger only costs them their own life. But in the past, if the people of the Song Dynasty harmed the Jurchens, their entire family would be executed."

"Under such punishment, how many people do you think would dare to gamble with the lives of their entire family?"

Old Zhu said irritably.

A common man, in a fit of rage, might disregard his own worthless life, but he would never be willing to implicate his family!

"I feel like Zhao Kuangyin messed things up. No one dared to step forward, even though Li Gang had already led Wanyan Zongwang around twice, the people were still unmoved."

Liu Che's tone was somewhat helpless.

"Then we have to kill him."

"Kill them until these people are willing to believe it!"

Old Zhu saw right through Zhao Kuangyin's thoughts in a single sentence.

In fact, Zhao Kuangyin had anticipated this situation.

So after waiting for half an hour, when more and more people gathered outside the training ground but still no one dared to enter, he walked into the training ground carrying an iron rod.

"Since none of you lack livestock, it seems I have prepared too much."

"It's better to slaughter livestock that are no longer needed, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of food?"

As he spoke, he smashed the heads of the two unfortunate men with two blows.

The breathing in the crowd became much heavier.

We need to add a few more sparks!

"General Yue, Prime Minister Li, come and lend a hand. There are so many beasts, how long would it take me to slaughter them all by myself?"

Zhao Kuangyin waved.

Yue Fei, who had been waiting for a long time, walked over in a few steps and with a few strokes of his sword, several heads fell to the ground.

Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer.

Zhao Kuangyin heard someone shouting in the crowd.

"Your Majesty, if I don't want slaves and only want revenge, can I really kill the Jurchens without being punished?"

He looked up directly in the direction from which the sound came.

"Who was it that just said that? Please point it out to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd parted to make way for one of the young men.

He seemed surprised that he had been exposed so quickly, and couldn't help but take two steps back and wave his hands repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, I was just talking nonsense. How dare I lay a hand on the officials of the Jin Kingdom..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin feigned seriousness.

"You dare not make a move? Then you're going to deceive the emperor?"

“Send someone to give him a knife. Since you’ve said you don’t want slaves and only want to kill the Jurchens, not killing them would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.”

"On the contrary, if you kill him and I am pleased with the sight, I will reward you with a hundred gold pieces!"

The crime of deceiving the emperor and the reward of a hundred gold pieces.

The young man trembled as a soldier handed him a long sword.

He had never even killed a chicken before, let alone had this knife covered in dark red liquid, the smell of blood assaulting his senses.

As he approached the Jurchens step by step, Zhao Kuangyin felt a growing sense of unease.

If this young man doesn't dare to make a move, then probably no one else will dare to do so today.

Conversely, once he kills the first one, the rest will follow naturally!

Approaching, raising his hand, the knife falls.

The young man's eyes were filled with tears.

"Lan'er, Nannan, I've avenged you! I killed the Jurchens to avenge you!"

As he muttered to himself, he raised his hand and slashed again.

The golden man on the left tried to run away, but an arrow pierced his throat first.

"If livestock move on their own without the owner's order, it is a capital offense. Please remember this rule. You are precious cattle and sheep, so don't throw your lives away in vain."
