Chapter 909 I am a sinner
He thought that his father was not a good emperor.
But, he is a good father at least.
He just touched his head and kissed himself. Nian Nian didn't blame his father for abandoning him, nor did he blame his father for treating him coldly.
My father followed my mother, so she is not alone.
"Your Majesty, these tens of thousands of troops are waiting for your order." The courtier said with a smile.
Now, this baby is the only one left in the Dongling royal family.
His father was a madman at heart and killed almost everyone in the court. His bloodline must not be allowed to hold power again. This was the idea that everyone reached in an instant.
It is even uncertain whether the child can live to adulthood.
Nian Nian's hands and feet were cold. He turned around, faced the wind, and looked at Emperor Beizhao.
"The three armies obey my orders. When two armies fight, no innocent civilians will be killed!"
"Let him go!" The little, tender child's face was full of determination.
After these words were spoken, the whole audience was somewhat stunned.
The people who were kneeling on the ground with their heads down were even more stunned, and then they looked up at the figure of the child in the field who might be swallowed at any time.
He was so scared that his voice was shaking.
Everyone could feel his fear.
But he still shouted firmly and crisply: "Release him!"
The court officials looked at each other in bewilderment: "If you release them now, how can Bei Zhao let it go..." After all, Bei Zhao's army is invincible, and no one wants to meet them on the battlefield.
"Civilians cannot be taken hostage!" the little child turned around and shouted sternly.
So, what’s the difference between this and a tyrant?
"I will take full responsibility for my father's mistakes."
"Do you want to listen or not?" He faced the civil and military officials, and traces of Xuan Jichuan could be vaguely seen in his brows. But different from him.
The leading general said calmly: "I will obey your orders."
No general wants to have blood on his hands, and no soldier wants to kill people. Those who were killed were powerless civilians.
The soldiers cut the ropes one by one, and the people knelt on the ground crying and kowtowed to the new emperor, then ran back to the city crying.
Xie Chengxi's eyebrows were slightly frivolous: "This child doesn't look like his father."
Lu Yanshu said indifferently, "How good can two children born from love-brained lovers be? But... they are still good bamboo shoots."
What surprised him even more was that the child actually knelt down on the battlefield.
"Dongling is willing to submit to Beizhao and become a subordinate of Beizhao." He actually knelt directly to thank Beizhao Emperor Chengxi.
Xie Chengxi was really surprised.
Even Lu Yanshu couldn't help but pursed his lips.
"Nonsense! Bring His Majesty back quickly. We, Dong Ling, are men of steel. How can we become a vassal of Bei Zhao? Ridiculous! Absurd!" All the court officials felt as if they were slapped in the face.
“Your Majesty, you are worth millions. You kneel to the heaven above and to your ancestors below. How can you kneel to the emperor of an enemy country?” Lord Xiao, who was in the lead, had an anxious look on his face. He had taught young Xuan Jichuan and could barely be considered the emperor’s teacher. Relying on some friendship, he gained Xuan Jichuan's trust in the court.
Now he wants to control the new emperor and take over the young emperor in a natural way.
Unexpectedly, the little emperor knelt down and begged for protection from Emperor Beizhao.
If Dongling becomes a vassal of Beizhao, it will no longer be a complete country. Bei Zhao will take over Dong Ling and govern the country together with Dong Ling.
"Niannian is young and does not know how to govern a country, nor does she have any relatives to help her. I have heard that His Majesty Beizhao is kind, so why not?" He remembered that Lord Xiao had sent girls to his father many times, which had made his mother so angry that she cried many times.
Lord Xiao had a cold face and walked forward to take him back.
He forced the little emperor to speak softly in public, but the little emperor's surrender made him even more aggrieved.
How could Xie Chengxi let him take back what he had said?
What's more, Bei Zhao already has the ability to unify the world, but it just doesn't want to cause unrest among the people, which would be detrimental to resisting the upper realm.
He has endured until now.
Now, Xuan Jichuan is dead, and he has caused the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people, making their lives miserable.
The newly appointed little emperor bowed his head and surrendered, how could he miss such an opportunity?
Countless disciples of Chaoyang Sect were hovering in the air, staring at Dong Ling with eager eyes.
"We Beizhao have always convinced others with reason, but if Dongling is unreasonable, we can also use fistfights."
The Dongling royal family had long lost the support of the people.
Since Xuan Jichuan's death, the two demon tribes that came to help also left quietly.
Xie Chengxi sneered. He didn't know how much effort his good senior brother Xuan Yu had put in.
Oh, what senior brother?
He was originally the lord of the demon clan. He worshipped at Wuwang Mountain because he coveted his master.
I originally thought that it would take a lot of effort for Dongling to become a vassal state of Beizhao.
Unexpectedly, it was easier than I imagined.
"It is rumored that the people of Dongling are all brave and good at fighting, and are the most difficult to deal with. I didn't expect that they didn't even resist?" When the Beizhao army entered Dongling, the people were surprisingly calm.
"Because there is a contrast. If anyone encounters a madman like Xuan Jichuan, the people will be afraid of the future." He is moody, cruel and murderous, and can even massacre three cities. Who wouldn't be afraid?
Between the borders, people from various cities communicate with each other, and most of them are even related.
Xuan Jichuan's move has completely ruined Dongling's national destiny.
In fact, even if the little emperor had not surrendered, Xie Chengxi had already had the idea.
The ending will only be more tragic. It is only a matter of time before Dong Ling surrenders.
"Send some disciples to protect Xuan Nian."
"His parents are in love, but he is a clear-headed person. Xuan Jichuan, it can be said that good things come out of bad things."
Dongling Palace.
Lu Chaochao stood by the pond and saw the child tremblingly put the dried lotus into the water, muttering something to himself.
"This flower can't survive." She said lightly.
The child turned around warily. The royal power of Dongling was changing. If he had not been protected by the people sent by Xie Chengxi, he would have died long ago.
"Who are you? How do you know that I can't survive? I'm going to try it out whether I can survive or not." He took a step back cautiously, blocking the dried lotus behind him.
"The first drop of dew in the morning absorbs the moonlight and possesses the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If you water it every day, perhaps it will be able to take root again. But, it's just a possibility..."
The child's eyes lit up: "Really? No matter if it works or not, I want to try it for my mother."
"Sister, thank you..." Before he could finish his words, the space in front of him was empty, and there was no figure anymore.
Nian Nian rubbed her eyes and said, "Am I dazzled? Never mind. Whether it's true or not, I have to give it a try."
He glanced at the lotus and walked towards the Fengxian Hall. Here, Dong Ling’s deceased ancestors are enshrined.
He lowered his head and murmured softly: "Ancestors, I, the unworthy descendant, come here to admit my mistakes. I am the sinner of Dongling..."
Every day, he would come here to confess.
He might be recorded in history books as the culprit who destroyed Dong Ling, but he had walked out of the palace and seen it with his own eyes.
After Bei Zhao took over, the people smiled more and were happier.
Never again, the panic of the past.
Sinner, be a sinner.
Someone must pay for the sins committed by my father.
