Volume 1 Chapter 46 I will no longer kneel to the immortals, gods, or kings
The generals, Princess Anyang and others admired Bai Qi very much.
But the civil officials felt that Bai Qi had dug up their ancestral graves.
They pointed at Bai Qi's nose and cursed: "You have no king and no father, no king and no father!"
"Bai Qi, do you know that thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor?"
"It is said that if the ruler orders his subjects to die, the subjects must die; if the general orders his soldiers to die, the soldiers must die."
The Emperor of the Great Zhou was also so angry at Bai Qi's words that his face turned black. Over the years, who had dared to point at his nose and curse him?
Even if he confiscated the property and exterminated the clans of some people, these people still had to kneel at his feet and beg for mercy.
But only Bai Qi dared to say that he was ungrateful.
"Bai Qi, listen to me, who is the real shameless one! Is this how you talk to your king and father?"
The Emperor of Zhou used feudal ethics to oppress Bai Qi.
The military generals were filled with grief and indignation. This was how the civil officials persecuted the military generals. In a word, if the king orders his subjects to die, the subjects must die; if the general wants the soldiers to die, the soldiers must die.
They could persecute meritorious generals to death.
But they had no way to refute, let alone resist.
Because this is feudal ethics.
But Bai Qi would not fall for it. He glanced coldly at these civil officials and the Emperor of Zhou sitting high on the throne, and sneered:
"You keep saying: If the king orders me to die, I must die!"
"Have you ever heard the sage say: If the ruler treats his subjects as his own hands and feet, then the subjects will treat the ruler as their own heart and soul; if the ruler treats his subjects as grass, then the subjects will treat the ruler as their enemy."
"You people are disgusting because you force others to eat shit and you want them to admit that shit smells good."
"You forced me, Bai Qi, to go to the Xiongnu to die, and you also wanted me, Bai Qi, to be grateful to you. I just want to say one thing: fuck you!"
"Who are you?"
"I am a proud man, how can I allow you to flatten and twist me?"
"Even if I die, I will let the world know what ugly faces you civil officials and the Emperor of the Great Zhou have!"
Bai Qi's words were like a sharp knife stabbing the heart of the Emperor of Zhou. The Emperor of Zhou only felt that the fig leaf on his face was being peeled off layer by layer.
At this moment, some of the generals could not help but cheer loudly, and they all supported Bai Qi, shouting:
"I have long disliked you civil officials, and now someone has finally pointed it out."
"So this is how you guys take the words of the so-called saints out of context?"
"Whichever sentence you think is beneficial to you, you bring it up. Whichever sentence you think is not beneficial to you, you regard as dross?"
"As expected, the words of civil officials are lies!"
"We all have our own opinion on who is ungrateful!"
"No need to disgust others in the court."
The generals started cursing at that time. Anyway, since they didn’t curse the Emperor of Zhou by name, what could the Emperor of Zhou do to them?
Civil officials can curse the emperor, so why can’t military generals do the same?
"Nice scolding!"
At this moment, Princess Anyang wanted to cheer for Bai Qi and even wanted to give him a hug. Her father insisted on marrying her and wanted her to be humiliated by the Huns.
She no longer wanted a father like this.
Today, someone finally pointed out the shamelessness of the Emperor of the Great Zhou, which can be regarded as a vent for Princess Anyang.
"Rebellion! Rebellion!"
The Emperor of the Great Zhou patted the dragon throne and gasped for breath. He felt his blood rushing to the top of his head, as if it was about to burst out at any time.
Who could have thought that in the great hall where the imperial power of the Great Zhou Dynasty was concentrated, he would be scolded by a mere seventh-rank military officer.
The most important thing is that this group of civil officials can’t even scold one person!
A bunch of trash!
“That’s enough!”
now. The prime minister stepped out. As the head of the civil officials, she had to maintain the status of the civil officials, maintain the dignity of the court, maintain the face of the royal family, and maintain the righteousness between the monarch and his subjects.
The Prime Minister looked at Bai Qi with cold eyes and said angrily:
"Bai Qi, I admit that the court's decision to make you a general escorting brides to the Xiongnu did chill your heart."
"But don't you think that you are questioning the emperor in the palace, disrespecting the etiquette between the emperor and his subjects, which is not the way for a subject to behave?"
"How do you let the world see you?"
"Do you want everyone in the world to be like you, arrogant and do things without considering the consequences?"
"Where do you put the majesty of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
This is to use righteousness to oppress Bai Qi!
The civil officials applauded, as this was the method they were most adept at using. No matter how great your achievements were, you could not withstand the verbal sparring of the civil officials.
The generals all shook their heads, thinking that Bai Qi was in trouble now and would definitely be scolded like a dog.
Princess Anyang also clenched her fists and looked at Bai Qi with her beautiful eyes, wanting to know how he would respond to the Prime Minister's accusations.
Bai Qi laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes, and then he shouted at the Prime Minister:
"You still have the nerve to tell me: What do people in the world think?"
"That day, my mother was killed by a sword from an immortal god in front of tens of thousands of people in the capital, the most beautiful place in the Great Zhou!"
"The Immortal God has so much contempt for the majesty of our Great Zhou Dynasty, but instead of punishing him, you say that my mother is guilty!"
"They even tattooed me and exiled me, and even implicated my mother's clan in order to please the gods!"
"Excuse me, Prime Minister, did you take into account the thoughts of the people at that time?"
"Did you protect your own way of being a minister at that time?"
"Could you please persuade our emperor to maintain the supreme dignity of our Great Zhou Dynasty?"
"Please forgive me, I, Bai Qi, cannot learn your tricks of begging for mercy from the gods and immortals!"
Bai Qi pointed at the prime minister's nose and spit all over his face.
The prime minister was speechless.
His whole face turned blue, then white, and finally turned ashen as a stone, and he retreated silently.
Damn it!
The generals were stunned.
Can you still curse like that?
"Prime Minister, please respond quickly!"
"Don't be a coward!"
"I've already said it before, those immortals are too arrogant, we should kill them!"
"You are all more cowardly than the other!"
"We are all cowards. How will our descendants look at us in the future?"
The generals cursed loudly. Who would like to see someone riding on their heads and peeing and shitting?
Even gods and immortals can’t do this!
Princess Anyang's beautiful eyes were full of admiration, and she was shaking with excitement. This is a real man!
Bai Qi turned around and glanced coldly at the Great Zhou Emperor, snorting:
"Your Majesty, if you had stood up for my mother and killed the immortals, not to mention asking me to kneel down, you would have made me loyal to you till death, so what would that be?"
"But I am very disappointed with your behavior!"
"From that day on, I, Bai Qi, will only kneel to my father, my mother, and my ancestors!"
"I, Bai Qi, will never kneel before an immortal, a god, or a king again in my life!"
"Because you don't deserve it!"
What a good idea! No longer kneeling to the immortals, gods, or kings!
Everyone was deeply shocked by these words.
Domineering, so domineering.
This is a world where gods and immortals really exist!
Seeing the gods flying in the sky, crossing thousands of miles, and still daring to say this, this is really amazing.
This Bai Qi is the god of war on earth!
The Emperor of the Great Zhou sat down on the chair. He felt a little regretful at this moment. He should not have treated Bai Qi like that.
Who doesn’t want to be the only one in the world?
However, he did not dare to resist the gods, did not dare to offend the gods, did not dare to gamble with the fate of the Zhou Dynasty for 852 years, and did not dare to gamble with his own wealth and glory.
He envied Bai Qi's free and easy attitude, his toughness, and his decisiveness.
He also wanted to go all out, but he was reluctant to do so.
Bai Qi saw that all the ministers bowed their heads and kept silent. He raised his head and said coldly: "Your Majesty, is there anything else? If not, I will take my leave!"
"Just wait until the day of the wedding and let me know."
"Although I look down on you all, I will fight for my country even if I die a hundred times, and I will never regret it!"
After saying that, he threw away his robe, turned around and left.
The black cloak rustled, and Bai Qi's figure was as heavy as a mountain, pressing down on everyone's hearts, causing the Jinwu Guards who were trying to block his way to automatically make way for him.
