This is the feudal dynasty.
Everyone should be equal, yet some beasts are treated as superior.
But those ordinary people who live earnestly and work hard are as insignificant as ants, and their deaths are not worth cherishing.
Behind Shen Ling, tens of thousands of people looked at the officials who were tightly bound, their eyes filled with bound hatred and anger.
However, no one takes a single step.
Even though those officials were like fish on a chopping block, and the common people who wished they could die with them, did not rush forward.
Because they were grateful to the regent.
It was the arrival of the regent that gave them a new life.
They were pulled back from the brink of death.
Therefore, they were willing to obey the regent.
"These 132 people once decided your lives, and now I entrust their lives to you," Gu Mu said to the people.

They couldn't help but cry out in anguish, "Your Highness, aren't you afraid of being condemned by everyone for harming officials like this?"
"Even if we are at fault, the Military Affairs Department should handle it. How can we let those ants decide our life and death?"
"Your Highness, if you dare to do this, you will surely be labeled a tyrant, and even thousands of years later, you will be despised by future generations!"
"Hahahaha!" Gu Mu laughed arrogantly, flicking his sleeves as his black python robe fluttered in the wind: "I, the king, will bear this eternal sin."
