Chapter 168: Empire Changes!
On April 11, 4827, in the desert city of Edbelai, reconstruction and renovation projects were still in full swing.
The stone pavement was paved, and the brick houses, restaurants, farms, hotels and other entertainment and civil places were basically completed.
Li Jun invited water channel experts to renovate the underground water wells, moats, and urban rivers of the entire Edpilele City, and introduced energy streams gushing out of the summoning space to fill the underground water wells and the city viewing river.
Almost overnight, young grass grew all over the streets, and flowers bloomed beside every river, mistaken for a miracle by the old man Dela.
The human landscape of Edbele City is changing, the city is also developing at an accelerated pace, and Li Jun's happy city lord days have finally arrived.
I usually have nothing to do shopping, fishing, riding a sand beast to run around the city, and the rest of the time is meditation and practice, and I understand the cultivation method of the "Tonghui Chapter".
Compared with Li Jun, who lived a leisurely life, there was a lot of turmoil in the imperial capital.
There are no less than tens of thousands of ministers and nobles implicated in the "Northwest Frontier Incident" and the "Rusifu Incident".
This number will increase over time.
Even Corot XVII himself was quite uneasy, and suddenly fell ill a few days ago, and recuperated in the palace, without seeing anyone, leaving all matters big and small to the ministers to deal with jointly.
It was also the most appropriate move to escape suspicion, and without the unsightly existence of Corot XVII, these two major events were officially taken over by the Church and merged into a single event. The rest of the ministries assisted in the investigation, arresting and killing!
The courtiers and nobles of the imperial capital did not dare to breathe all day long, for fear that they would be invited to drink tea by the group of madmen in the ruling office, tortured and tortured to extract confessions, even if they had nothing to do with this matter, they accepted their fate alive.
If your bones are hard and your mouth is still tight, you will be released without a large amount of accurate evidence. But by that time, it was also half-dead.
Now, in the imperial capital of the Koro Empire, the most feared sentence of all the courtiers and nobles is: "Open the door." Find so-and-so, please go to tea!"
Blood was sprinkled all over the purple vine-blooming imperial capital, and every day there was a wail, and every day, several, or more than a dozen courtiers and nobles were burned alive at the stake.
Fear spread and panic began to spread in the imperial capital, and all kinds of rumors flew everywhere.
One of the most noteworthy rumors is that the Church is dissatisfied with the royal family of the Coro Empire, which scared Corot XVII to the point of illness. Hiding in the deep palace and not coming out?
In this regard, the church did not clarify anything, and did not bother to ask, after all, the worldly struggle for imperial power, the church does not ask anything, and hopes that the world's more chaotic the better, every day is full of intrigues and tricks to usurp power, and when a certain empire is strong to a certain extent, the church will secretly support several reactionary forces to overthrow the original royal family. or weaken the Empire.
According to historical records, in a certain rebellion, the rebels have attacked the gate of the imperial capital, and the cardinal resident in the country is still drinking tea and chanting!
When the rebels captured the palace, a large group of priests, clergy, etc., gathered around the streets and alleys to watch the excitement!
......
Rumors stop at killing! The security forces and city guards in the imperial capital also began to arrest people all day long, and all those who spread rumors and deliberately fabricated public opinion were arrested and imprisoned. After some severe torture, he took the list of confessions of the prisoners and arrested people from house to house, causing the city to be full of storms and the people to panic.
On the other side of the square where the church set up a burn at the stake. The Koro Empire also built a gallows, and dozens of people were hanged at the same time, and this visual impact was incomparable, making the faces of the people who came to see the excitement white.
Catch, fight, kill!
The familiar picture has become an assembly line. The daily staging made the personnel who handled the case almost collapse.
In a few months, more than 100,000 people died in the imperial capital alone, which is destined to be recorded in the annals of history, leaving a strong mark.
4827 A.D., April 13, Northwest Frontier.
Months of censorship and arrests have finally come to an end.
The remnants of Rusif's soldiers, officers, senators, etc., were all escorted to the execution ground.
Because of his special status, Gree has been escorted to the imperial capital and has become the first wave of high-ranking generals to be burned at the stake.
Rusif is dead, and he has long since destroyed the route map in his hand, so basically no one in this world can know the location of the gold mine except for the 'gods'.
Afterwards, the clergy of the Church Judgment Office also found a wave of mine slaves who had escaped from the gold mine fortress and asked them to lead the way, but they almost got lost after sleeping in the desert for a month, and finally returned in vain and gave up their plans.
The Eighth Army came to a great purge, and there were more than 30,000 people in Gree's henchmen, cronies, family members, servants, guards, etc., counting chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs, if it weren't for Marshal Muzi's strong supervision on the side, more people would be killed, and 100,000 people would not be stopped!!
Fortunately, the church personnel have a lot of respect for the powerhouses of the Bronze Realm, so the group of madmen in the ruling house did not give the order to execute all the Eighth Legion......
Paperson committed suicide, and just before he was arrested, he drew his sword and killed himself, becoming one of the few officers to commit suicide, and his body was dismantled by the enraged inquisitors and fed to the scavenger eagle.
The heads of people are rolling, and the sound of sorrowful screams is in pieces!!!
The Cheklav Line was suddenly covered with a river of blood, dripping all over the garrison!
Marshal Muzi looked at this human tragedy, listened to the cries and fearful cries that were still in his ears, and suddenly sighed in his heart.
If it weren't for the officials of Edberet City who "abandoned the darkness and turned to the light" halfway, they were forced to have a certain amount of merit in this incident, and then Li Jun's reputation was used as a guarantee to exempt the adjudicators from Edbelay City, otherwise, the killing would have been staged in Adebelay City again.
Although the merits and demerits are comparative, the officials of Edbele City are sincerely grateful to Li Jun, put aside all distractions and mustards, and swear allegiance to Li Jun and will not betray him!
Because of this incident, how many people died, the official did not disclose, anyway, there were many people who died, and there were innocent among them, almost everyone was even the nine clans!
The church once again used killing to deter the forces of the whole continent, and with hundreds of thousands of bloody human heads, it erected the power of its absolute domination!
On June 1, 4827, the fear did not dissipate, and the rumors continued to spread.
In just six months, the number of cases across the country has gradually increased, and premeditated and organized protests are going on and increasing every day.
Corot XVII, who pretended to be sick for a long time, was completely ill this time, he was already in his prime, he was first frightened by the church, and then he was troubled by public security problems.
The eaglets have grown up, their wings are hard, and their ambitions are growing every day.
According to Li Jun's analysis, he was not worried about the people's livelihood, but purely worried about the restless princes, angry and angry, and angry with his body, which was very high-sounding.
One after another, troublesome things followed, during the reign of Koro XVII, not to mention the prosperous era, it was also a peaceful era, the national strength slowly increased, the people's hearts were stable, and they were prosperous and healthy.
This made Koro XVII suspicious, and behind all this, there must be a pair of big hands silently pushing.
A few days later, Koro XVII secretly set up an investigation agency to investigate the matter thoroughly, with the court swordsman and court magician at the sole discretion, the Royal Knights responsible for the arrest, and the rest of the departments fully cooperating.
One by one, the bigwigs fell off their horses and were imprisoned, and the courtiers began to feel uneasy again......
Imperial capital, in the castle of the Dumeronc family.
Nilo paced back and forth in the room with an anxious face, and his former calm and graceful life ceased to exist at this moment.
As the only heir of the Dumeronk family, Nilo is in the imperial capital, and he cannot stay away for no reason, and there is no shortage of suspicions of seizure.
Corot XVII trusted no one but his own queen and people like the head of the legations, the swordsman of the court, and the magician of the court.
After a long pause, Nilo finally picked up a pen and put pen to paper on a secret letter.
Perhaps because he was too anxious, Nilo always seemed to make mistakes when writing symbols, and he crumpled up pieces of paper and discarded them aside.
Pulling the new paper, Nilo closed his eyes and meditated for a long time, adjusted his mentality, and read softly while writing: "Dear...... Imperial Capital ...... Wish...... Leader to ...... Otherwise, when ...... I can't imagine ......"
The staccato language, with a few words popping up from time to time, makes it impossible to fathom what Nilo had written after all.
Putting the pen down, Nilo carefully looked at the symbols on the secret letter, and after a long time, he opened the birdcage next to him and tied the secret letter to the leg of a winged bird with a silk thread.
The winged bird said goodbye to her beloved and pecked her feathers affectionately with its beak.
As long as your beloved puppet is here, no matter how far you fly to the ends of the earth or get lost there, the winged bird will return here without hesitation and snuggle up with your beloved couple.
Fluttering ridge~~
The winged bird flew out of the window and soared into the sky.
Countless miles away in the city of Edbele, inside the town hall.
Li Jun put the teapot aside, stood up from the rocking chair, stretched his waist, and muttered: "Dear...... Imperial Capital ...... Wish...... Leader to ...... Otherwise, when ...... I can't imagine ......"
Li Jun pondered for a while, put his hands behind his back, looked at the clear blue sky with a smile, and whispered, "Dear Lord Nilo, what do you want to write?" )
