Yingdu, the palace of the king of Chu.

Although Yingdu has died a lot of nobles, it is not dead.

Most of the nobles just suffered a lot of losses from their private soldiers when dealing with the first wave of zombies, so that some of their vitality was greatly damaged. At least the officials of the previous dynasty were still able to make up a certain amount.

After all, disasters are disasters, and Yingdu is such a big capital of Chu State, and it still has to continue to operate.

It's just that when they saw the king of Chu sitting on the throne, their first reaction was not surprise, but horror.

The fact that the king of Chu was imprisoned by Qu Xie and Xiong Zhong, and may have even died a long time ago, is not uncommon in aristocratic circles.

But as it is now...... Sitting on the throne with an unusually young posture was really unexpected by everyone.

And...... Some are too young, almost like rejuvenation.

"Could it be Xiong Gongzi?" guessed some ministers.

"Impossible, Xiong Gongzi and the king don't look like each other when they were young. An old minister said beside him.

"What the hell is the king......

Just when the ministers were whispering in private, the king of Chu, who was sitting on the throne, spoke:

"Are you curious why the widow would stand here in such a posture? ”

"The ministers don't dare to ......" The ministers bowed their heads one after another, showing respect.

"Don't dare doesn't mean you don't want to, the widow understands you, in fact, the widow is also very curious, so at the beginning, I pondered in this state for a long time...... Knowing what had happened to the widow's body, the widow dared to walk out of the dormitory where the widow was imprisoned. ”

The following courtiers made a riot, or a show, or were really loyal:

"Who is so bold as to do such a rebellious thing?!"

"It's really a bad etiquette, and there is no way in the world!"

"My lord, I don't know who dares to treat the king like this. ”

"I implore the king to correct the Dharma so that he can set an example!"

Hey, a bunch of afterthoughts, who jumped up and down when I wasn't there, jumping the most happily, I don't know, don't you know.

King Chu despised this group of guys to the extreme in his heart, and said expressionlessly on the surface: "Quiet, the widow will show you a treasure." ”

As he spoke, the King of Chu got up and took out a long bamboo pole from behind his throne, and there was something hanging on the bamboo pole.

"This must be familiar to everyone, right?" said King Chu, shaking the bamboo pole in front of him, so that the thing faced the ministers.

It was a face that everyone could not recognize. In the past three months, he has given countless orders from the king, and has issued all kinds of strange edicts.

In the past, together with Bai Gongsheng, who is now the highest position in the palace and the highest status, he controlled the entire Chu State.

"Did you think of any more ways to humiliate me?" the head said lightly, opening its eyes.

Compared with the non-stop abuse that was hung up at the beginning, Qu Xie became a lot calmer this time. In the words of the King of Chu, it is somewhat aristocratic demeanor.

I don't know if it's because I want to open it, or because of the role of Xiong Sheng's training.

"No, no, it's just to show you to the nobles, and it doesn't mean to be humiliated. King Chu hurriedly denied it, but he dangled the bamboo pole around without any sincerity.

"Alas......" Qu Xie sighed, as if he was a little helpless about the bad taste of the King of Chu.

The ministers were so frightened by the strange head that they took a half step back, and they remembered the somewhat ridiculous edict two days ago that Qu Xie would be sentenced to "immortality".

At that time, I thought that Qu Xie was just making a mummy or something, so that his soul could not rest in peace, and he would be scolded by future generations.

Now it seems that the "immortality" of the punishment of "immortality" is too real.

Some bold old ministers asked a little tremblingly: "Dare to ask the king, this ...... Is it Danyang Gong?"

"It's Danyang Gong. King Chu smiled, shook the bamboo pole and said, "Hey, what about people calling you, Duke Danyang?"

The pronunciation of the last Danyang Gong is really as mocking as you want.

"It's down, but I'm not Danyang Gong anymore. Qu Xie opened his mouth to admit.

"Oh yes, I forgot to say it when you reminded me like that. King Chu looked at Xiong Sheng, who was standing at the top of the bottom, and said, "Let's announce the edict first, so as not to forget." ”

"Yes. Xiong Sheng bowed his head obediently to the King of Chu, then opened the silk edict in his hand and said, "The Holy Decree of the King of Chu, Duke Qu Xie of Danyang has committed a crime with bad intentions and is a vain minister. Now he has been taken captive of all his positions and sentenced to 'immortality'. Thinking of the Qu family's hard work for the country for many years, and now it is the time when the Chu country suddenly suffered a natural disaster, it is the time to employ people, and the Qu clan is pardoned for their crimes and meritorious service. If there are outstanding contributions, they will be rewarded separately. ”

After Xiong Sheng finished reading, he put away the edict and placed it under Qu Xie's head.

"King Shengming!" Some of the old ministers standing in front immediately knelt down and shouted "Shengming".

"The king is virtuous!" The ministers behind him also knelt down and shouted "Xianming".

"Shengming" refers to the fact that the king of Chu handled it properly, was impartial, and punished just right; "virtuous" means that the king of Chu was benevolent and committed the "unforgivable crime" of rebellion.

Of course, how much of the "benevolence" in this is for the sake of Qu Yanji's Qu Yanji, or in other words, for the sake of the child in Qu Yanji's belly, the ministers muttered a little in their hearts.

"What about the general story...... That's what it looks like. The king of Chu threw the bamboo pole to the ground, sat back on the throne, and crossed his legs without any image and said,

"I'm sure you've felt how troublesome these monsters are in these two nights. Not only will it actively bite people, but it also carries a plague that can infect people. If I'm not wrong, there are already ordinary people in the entire Yingdu City who have turned into zombies. ”

"My lord, where did this plague come from?" immediately a minister who knew how to praise stepped forward and asked.

"That's a good question!Where did it come from, that's a good question!" King Chu stood up suddenly, pointed at the ministers and shouted loudly, "Where did it come from, shouldn't you ask yourself this question?!"

The ministers were taken aback and were speechless for a moment.

Just when everyone's attention was focused on the King of Chu, Xiong Sheng knew each other very well, and quietly plugged Qu Xie's mouth to prevent him from talking nonsense.

And Qu Xie also opened his mouth cooperatively, revealing a look of "I knew you were going to do this".

"This is the punishment of the Zhurong Fire God for us!Zhuqing! You should be vigilant!" the King of Chu said in a divine tone, "Because some of you nobles, in order to so-called unification with the Central Plains culture, in order to become the real 'Central Plains nobles', have changed cremation to burial, so that the souls of the Chu people cannot return to the Zhurong Fire God."

Therefore, the anger of the Zhurong Fire God poured out on the corpses of the people of Chu State, and sentenced them to the punishment of 'immortality', so that our relatives and friends turned into monsters and gnawed on us. Let's have to use cremation to send the souls of these people to the side of Zhurong Fire God.

I wish the Fire God to use such a bloody example to tell you that the price of your betrayal of faith and the betrayal of the Fire God is so heavy and unbearable!"

The ministers were stunned for an instant, everyone naturally couldn't be stupid, and they hadn't seen anything like "strange power and chaos" in their lives for so long.

But now, their own king is like a cult leader, saying a bunch of godly babbling, which makes them a little difficult to accept for a while, but they can't find a good reason to refute it for a while.

After all, there is such a thing as a human being able to live after his head is cut off, but it really appears alive in front of them.

And the fact that people can be resurrected after death is still their own experience.

"It is not known where the plague first spread, but it is certain that this plague broke out in many places in the Chu State. Yingdu has already received a message from Shouchun and Qi Si here. ”

At this time, Xiong Sheng spoke appropriately, and took out another edict made of silk,

"From now on, the 'lockdown order' will be implemented, and no living people will be allowed to travel on all major roads, and no special permission will be allowed to travel to and from the cities, and violators will be enslaved.

Seventy percent of the young and strong men over the age of 15 and under the age of 50 were selected from every noble family to enlist in the army, and those who violated the law were enslaved.

In every city, you must not hide the dead body, but you must burn it all. If anyone is found to have violated the order, he will be taken into slavery.

The military and political power of the Great Wall Lord of each city for three months can be used to kill a city, and the nobles of the city can be called. Except for the king's edict, the rest can not be followed, if there is a nobleman, the lord of the Great Wall can directly take it as a slave. ”

After Xiong Sheng finished speaking, he closed the edict, took the lead in expressing his position, bowed his head to the king of Chu and said, "King Shengming!"

The courtiers below pondered the bold and harsh edict they had just made, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

But everyone is not stupid, although they were bluffed by the king of Chu at first, but when they came back to their senses, there was a talented and agile old minister who immediately shouted loudly:

"Great King! This is to divide the Chu State, Great King! This is a strategy to disrupt the country, and it must not be passed! I beg the Great King to withdraw the decree!"

"Great King, with this 'lockdown order', those nobles of the city will inevitably take advantage of this to establish themselves as kings!

Reminded by the old minister, the other courtiers also reacted, and immediately knelt down and shouted: "I beg the king to withdraw the edict!"

The King of Chu glanced at the people below indifferently, and said in a light tone: "If they dare to set themselves up as kings, I will clean them up, and it will only be three months, and there will be no waves." But if someone in this Yingdu City is disrespectful and takes his home as a slave, this is the only punishment, I hope you don't know what to do. ”

The old minister looked blankly at the King of Chu, who was a little too young and a little domineering, and was speechless for a while.

They were surprised that the King of Chu was so domineering, but in this domineering, they saw the unrivaled momentum and self-confidence of the King of Chu.

It was an indescribable "might", not the roar of the arrogant, but a force that convinced everyone.

As long as you follow the king of Chu, the state of Chu will definitely break out of its cocoon and become a butterfly in this disaster!

Every minister's subconscious thought came to him, but the thought was quickly suppressed by them.

Because they are nobles, it is not necessarily a good thing for all nobles to have such a lord of Zhongxing......
