The old woman Wuzu's miserable wails lasted for two hours!
Only then did it gradually weaken.
The executioner was also a talent!
Two hours passed.
He had just finished cutting off the old woman's arms.
The dense white bones made the commoners dodge their gazes.
Too ruthless!
A living person had been skinned just like that!
Zi Shou looked at the commoners 'behavior and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Very good!
Today, the effect of establishing his prestige was achieved.
In a chaotic world, one had to use heavy punishment!
If one day, he could publicly cut Ji Chang and the other dukes into pieces, then his path to a central power would be basically unimpeded.
Zi Shouxin thought.
"Return to the palace!"
Zi Shou said indifferently.
The punishment of being cut by a thousand cuts would be over after a while.
If he continued to look at it, it would be easy for him to have a psychological shadow.
The executioner was also a talent!
His knife skills were the same as the beef and mutton cut by machines in the future. They were neat and thin!
In the future.
The task of cutting Ji Chang into pieces was left to him!
Zi Shou led the civil and military officials away. Si Jiang and the other nobles also left.
He had to go back and discuss what to do next.
The arrogant King Zhou!
They would definitely pay for his actions today!
The commoners also dispersed.
Only Li Yan and her father remained.
Li Yan's father stared at the old woman Wuzu who had been skinned alive without blinking. His eyes were filled with joy!
If not for the king!
Today, his daughter was gone!
He had been sold!
He would become Wuzu's money-making tool!
Li Yan's eyes sparkled as he looked in the direction where Zi Shou had left.
Your Majesty...
How majestic!
Li Yan thought.
Today, if it wasn't for the king, she...
His life was over!
This was…
It could be considered a life-saving grace!
He had to remember it and not forget it for the rest of his life…
Li Yan warned himself in his heart!
....
In the palace.
In the garden.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that there will be endless trouble in the future if we kill the nobles today…" Bi Gan said with a worried expression.
Yang Ren nodded and said,"" Now, the wax festival is approaching. The king has killed the nobles and cut Wuzu into pieces. He has offended two powerful groups. This year's wax festival…I'm afraid there will be a shocking change!"
The two officials were panicking.
Although it felt good to have his son beheaded and Wuzu cut into pieces!
However, after the pleasure, the follow-up response was the most fatal!
The nobles, the witches, and the imperial court could be seen as the three most powerful groups in Yinshang.
Now, Zishou had become enemies with the other two groups. There would definitely be a shocking change in this year's wax festival!
"It's fine. I already have a plan!"
Zi Shou waved his hand and continued,"I'm preparing to carry out the reform. What does Uncle Wang think of this matter?"”
He still had to ask these old ministers.
These people were extremely loyal in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and could be put in an important position!
"Your Majesty, where do you want to start?"
Bi Gan pondered for a while and asked.
"Since the abolition of human sacrifice!"
"It's as difficult as ascending to the heavens!"
Bi Gan replied without thinking.
Only the nobles and dukes had the privilege of sacrificing their lives.
It was to be buried with the living.
The more slaves were buried, the higher the status of the nobles.
For example, Ji Chang's father, Ji Li, had been imprisoned by the Shang King and killed on groundless charges. Nearly a thousand slaves had been buried with him!
That would attract the attention of all the nobles.
As for Zishou, if he wanted to abolish human sacrifice, the dukes would not agree!
With the reform being obstructed by the dukes, the difficulty of the reform would increase exponentially. It was no different from ascending to the heavens in broad daylight!
"Whoever dares to obstruct us, just kill them!"
Zi Shou said coldly.
He had his own plans.
The reason why he wanted to abolish human sacrifice was to lay the foundation to improve the status of slaves in this era.
All the dukes and nobles in the four directions kept large numbers of slaves!
These slaves could become unstable at any moment.
Zishou, other than the Imperial Court, he could not allow any other faction to raise a large number of people!
Moreover, there were countless slaves in the world!
If he raised the status of the slaves, the slaves would definitely be grateful to him. Perhaps, with a wave of his hand, he could command an army of slaves!
"Your Majesty, if we kill rashly, we might cause a change in the dukes!”
Bi Gan hurriedly opened his mouth to remonstrate.
Why is the king's killing intent getting stronger and stronger recently?
"Uncle Wang, in this chaotic world, heavy punishment should be used. Today's slaughter is also for the long-term stability of the future!”
Zi Shou said coldly.
"But the vassals are powerful. Once they unite with the Imperial Court, they won't be able to compare!”
Bi Gan felt that he needed to let Zishou know the consequences of the dukes joining forces!
"It's fine to disperse the strength of the dukes!”
"I have already made plans for this."
Zishou chuckled and said,"
"I... He wanted to set up banks in all parts of Great Shang!”
