Chapter 12: The Dynasty Changed Too Quickly
For a time, people in several plague areas believed in Tianwumen, all of them preached that Tianwumen was the spokesperson of the Bodhisattva, the savior of the people to save the suffering, and the Xia family ruled the small world, which caused dissatisfaction and calamity.
When he heard these news, Xue Dong remembered the White Lotus Sect in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and the transformation of the world.
There is no doubt that the so-called plague must have been poisoned by the Tianwu Sect in the local water source. Later, it was detoxified to win people's hearts.
The Xia family has only a few hundred subordinates in the small world, and the original Xia family was also prosperous, but since the emergence of Tianwumen, the people of the Xia family have constantly encountered disasters, and all the side branches have died in various causes in the past few decades.
Tianwumen has been in chaos in the world for hundreds of years, the Xia family wants to be arrested but can't do it, the owner of Tianwumen has changed for many generations, and the head of the Xia family has also changed for many generations, just because one is well hidden, the other is strong, and there is no way to take each other. Until this generation of Bi Chuntai infiltrated the Xia family, lured Xia Zhen to make mistakes, and put an end to the centuries-old rule of the Xia family.
In the courtyard of Liangshan's house, everyone still sat on the ground as usual, eating yellow mutton in their hands, no wine, no loud conversation as before, and even a few young children did not run around anymore, obediently tired by the side of grandparents. Their parents are gone;
Two months ago, the He mother's family died tragically, and the other two families also lost one of their offspring, and some people in the Yu family were arrested, and it was a certain family that must have died, and there may be people in the rest of the family who have been arrested, but they are still alive, aren't they? After a few days, it is hard to take a breath, but now they can't sell the leather goods for money, and the original one ingots will also be devalued, is the lord of Tianwu going to force the people to death? They are not highly educated, and even they can't clearly express the anguish in their hearts to others, they only feel that there is a heavy boulder in their chests, and they can't breathe.
The bonfire was reflected on everyone's faces, and Xue Dong keenly noticed that everyone seemed to be living so tired, yes, the small world under the rule of Tianwu Kingdom was a society of individual cannibalism.
Perhaps, for a few more days they could not even afford to eat salt, and in the afternoon the neighbors handed over all the money to a man named Tianbao, and went to the town to exchange iron coins, but a total of forty yuan was exchanged for only 20 iron coins, saying that they would have to pay half of the coin exchange tax, but in fact this was completely the behavior of the local officials. When Tianbao went to buy salt, he was told that the current salt is all official salt, and only one pack can be bought for fifteen iron coins, and all those who sell illicit salt will be killed.
Tianbao endured the pain and bought a small half packet of salt, and when he took it home, it was still mixed with gravel, and it turned out to be untreated well salt.
The appearance of this tall man hissing and tearing when he came back to tell everyone about the exchange of money and salt deeply pierced Xue Dong's heart.
Tianwumen rules the world with martial arts, but he has obtained a more advanced practice cheats than them, if he wants to help this group of simple people, then only if he is strong, can he overthrow Tianwumen. You must cultivate well and dominate the world by yourself.
In fact, compared to these hunters, more and more inhumane things happen all over the world, their grain is forcibly bought, and a family's annual ration may only be exchanged for a few iron coins, if they are unwilling, it is against the Tianwu Kingdom, and they are identified as supporters of the Xia family, and they may be killed immediately; their wives and daughters were robbed, saying that they were going to be conscripted into the army for logistics, in fact, everyone knows the fate of these women being arrested and put into the barracks.
The total population of this small world is only about two million, and there are no less than 300,000 people who have been conscripted to serve as soldiers, but these 300,000 people have been killed at least 50,000, because they do not cooperate with the orders of the commander and do not want to oppress or slaughter the defenseless people, not to mention that most of them are still old and weak women.
After Bijie occupied the Xia family, he lived the life of an emperor, and he didn't care about what happened to the prime ministers below, the prefectures, counties, towns, and villages below. For example, conscription, he has always said that hundreds of thousands of soldiers need to be conscripted, and it is entirely because the people below want to expand their personal power. The women in his palace have already filled the three palaces and six courtyards, and they are far beyond it. He lived a life of debauchery every day, and as for the previous dynasty, he was only diligent before the founding of the country, and he basically didn't go later, because he thought that the Xia family was destroyed, and no one in the country could shake his position.
Based on the fact that he achieved the goal of destroying the Xia family by ambushing undercover agents and assassination, he didn't trust anyone either, Bi Jie's original wife was strong in martial arts, second only to Bi Jie, after he ascended the throne, he thought that his wife with strong martial arts would threaten him, so he found a reason to kill him in the second month.
Because the original eldest disciple flattered him, he thought he had ulterior motives and killed him, but he didn't forget that Bi Chuntai lured Xia Zhen like this, and finally let Xia Zhen poison his own grandfather. In short, kill as long as there is suspicion. Three months later, Bijie no longer has anyone close to him. The original cronies also moved outside the palace. But he doesn't feel lonely, every day he is with the women of the harem, he is the number one master in the world, and he is not afraid of anyone.
However, the emperor of the Tianwu Kingdom, Bijie, did not sit on the throne for long.
In the second month of Xue Dong's arrival in the small world, the emperor of Tianwu Kingdom was announced to have died in the palace, which was discovered by the right prime minister, who was only more than ten palace maids in the palace at that time, and the right prime minister immediately ordered all the palace maids to be killed to the emperor for compensation, and the right prime minister quickly gathered his subordinates and surrounded the palace. Prime Minister Zuo, who heard the news, was assassinated on the way here.
The right prime minister took over everything in the palace city defense in half a day, and all the city defense soldiers were restrained at the first time, and they could not interfere with all the actions of the right prime minister. They were told that if they wanted their relatives to live, they could not pay attention to what was happening in the palace.
On the second day, the right prime minister held the edict of the first emperor and claimed to obey the holy decree of the first emperor and take over the throne. Self-proclaimed "Emperor Dehui".
Tianwu Kingdom, Bijie is called the emperor, and the new monarch will be replaced after five months.
I have to say that no matter how many disgraceful means Emperor Dehui used in seizing power, he was still much stronger than Bijie in governing the country.
First of all, replace all the officials at the prefectural and county level with their own cronies. The first new emperor's order was issued: all functional departments were not allowed to raise soldiers on their own, and soldiers were appointed by the state to become government soldiers, county soldiers and town guards, and there were no soldiers at the village level. All soldiers except for the city guards will be gradually disbanded under the guidance of the palace personnel.
Although this order aroused opposition from almost all those in power, it quickly collapsed under the iron hand of Emperor Dehui.
Emperor Dehui was originally the Great Elder of Tianwumen, and his skills were not much different from Bi Jie, and he also deliberately concealed his means, and the original Bi Jie did not know the details of the Great Elder, and he didn't know until he died, and the Great Elder only used dozens of moves to behead him under the sword.
