Chapter 770: Sinner

They returned all the way to Chaoge and announced their victory to the world.

In recognition of this joyous event, the Emperor of Mankind also issued a general amnesty.

Those who commit intentional crimes that are not punishable by death, such as murder, rape, parricide, and filicide, can be released.

At the same time, the first heaven was also moved down by the army, causing countless people to cheer and admire.

In the palace of Chaoge, Li Qing stepped onto the throne.

All the ministers and officials, as well as many immortal generals, bowed down and shouted "Your Majesty the Emperor".

Li Qing's voice was loud and resounded throughout the hall.

"It is decided today. The Three Realms and Six Paths will all submit to the Shang Dynasty. From this day forward, my million-strong army will conquer the eight directions. The edges of the universe will be conquered by humanity. But any demons, monsters, and ghosts will be wiped out! From now on, I do not want to see any evildoers gaining control of the land! Any evildoers who dare to kidnap people will either obey the law and coexist harmoniously with humans! Or they will die!"

"Your Majesty's decree!"

All the officials bowed down.

Li Qing nodded and said with a smile, "After days of fighting, we have finally returned victorious! My dear ministers, you have worked hard. Today, I will hold a grand banquet for all of you! Everyone will receive rewards for their merits!"

"This is all due to your Majesty's divine power!"

The ministers bowed deeply again.

Li Qing laughed heartily and said, "Let's adjourn the court. Tonight I will have a drink with all the nobles. My dear nobles, please don't be late. You can rest for a while later!"

The ministers responded with a smile and respectfully sent the Supreme Emperor off from court.

When he returned to the harem, Jiang Qian, Jiufeng, Shiji and other women came to greet him.

Jiang Qian looked at Li Qing and smiled, "Your Majesty, I wonder what Your Majesty plans to do with the five princesses and many officials in the Heavenly Court?"

When Li Qing heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "You forgot about these captives. Come, follow me to take a look."

The captives in heaven are not just the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.

The other five princesses, Taibai Jinxing, Fengbo Yushi, the Four Seasons Generals, as well as the Xiqi generals, Wen Pin, Zhang Liang, and the rest of the Four Sages and Eight Horses were all captured in one fell swoop.

The queen today has great power.

Jiang Qian was in charge of all matters concerning the captives, so she came to inquire.

At that moment, Li Qing brought his wives and concubines, and soon arrived at the hall where the captives were held, accompanied by a fragrant breeze.

Wen Zhong and others did not treat these captives as criminals.

After all, gentlemen have rules, and the idea of not harming prisoners in a righteous battle is deeply rooted in their bones.

Since the main culprit has been surrendered.

These ministers are naturally qualified to submit to the other party, and no one will say anything.

Of course, if one refuses to surrender and dies for the master, that would also be a good thing and a loyal minister!

Inside the hall, many people who originally belonged to Xiqi and the Heavenly Court were either standing or sitting, with some looking calm, some with melancholy, and some feeling uneasy.

It was a rebellion and a righteous act to attack Shang, but in the end it ended up being a joke.

“His Majesty has arrived!!”

Wang Youzhi's voice was extremely loud, filled with inexplicable excitement and pride.

Everyone in the hall was startled at once. Those who were standing straightened their bodies immediately, and those who were sitting stood up hurriedly.

Li Qing and his wives and concubines walked in.

Everyone was extremely nervous for a moment and didn't know what to do.

Taibai Jinxing's eyes rolled, and he quickly bowed and said, "Your humble servant, I pay my respects to His Majesty the Great Supreme Human Emperor..."

This served as a wake-up call for everyone, and they all hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings to His Majesty, the Great Supreme Human Emperor."

Li Qing smiled and waved his hand, then walked to the front of the hall and found a chair to sit on.

Then he looked at those people and smiled faintly, "What do you have to say? Now I am here, so go ahead. I heard that many of you cursed me fiercely. I am the worst king in the world. When I am here, the people of the world are struggling in dire straits. Now I am here before you, come, speak."

Everyone paused for a moment, and the faces of the Four Sages and Eight Horses turned pale.

The Human Emperor is calling them out by name.

When they were in Xiqi, in order to discredit this great merchant king, they naturally used every possible means to do whatever they could to smear him.

The people of Xiqi were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to kill the tyrant as soon as possible.

But now, Ji Chang is dead.

This so-called tyrant has also been confronted and has captured the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother.

Even Jifa was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

Then how dare they lie to my face?

Whether Emperor Di Xin was stupid or not, didn't they all know the same thing?

"Duke Zhou, I heard that the proclamation against me was written by you."

Seeing that they didn't say anything, Li Qing smiled.

Pointing at Zhou Gongdan, one of the Four Sages of Xiqi, with his white hair and beard, he said with a smile, "Tell me, where did you collect all this evidence?"

Zhou Gongdan's face was pale and his lips trembled slightly.

But after a moment, he took a deep breath, bowed, and said, "To be honest, Your Majesty, I served the Marquis of Xibo and considered him my own lord. Therefore, I have slandered Your Majesty and manipulated the moral principles of the world. I admit this crime! Your Majesty is the Holy Emperor of the world and a wise ruler of the time. How could there be any stain? I have committed a great sin! Your Majesty wishes to kill me or cut me into pieces. I willingly accept it."

Meanwhile, Lü Gongwang, Mao Gongsui, and Zhao Gongshi also hurriedly bowed and said, "We, the guilty ministers, are willing to accept the punishment from Your Majesty!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Li Qing laughed heartily upon seeing this, waving his hands and saying, "As a subject, I must serve my master with loyalty. This is my duty. Although the manifesto you issued made me hate you for a while, and I even thought that once I caught you, I would let you see what a tyrant is and what torture is like. But now that I have seen you in person, my mind has changed."
