The sound of the mountain came from all directions.
After the Pope took the lead to kneel down to Li Chengdao, all the people knelt down without exception.
At this moment, Li Chengdao truly made these commoners submit from the bottom of their hearts!
A large part of it was due to the Pope.
The influence of the Holy See was too great among the ordinary people. If it wasn't for the Holy See's submission and explanation, these people wouldn't have accepted Li Chengdao's ideology so easily.
"The era of the Church has come to an end. From today onwards, I am truly supreme!”
Li Chengdao's eyes sparkled as a strong sense of confidence surged in his heart.
He would not repeat the mistakes of the Roman Empire!
While the people in the square were worshipping Li Chengdao, another group of imperial guards walked into the square.
These imperial guards were led by Feng Li and were escorting a prisoner together.
This prisoner was Heracles, the last emperor of Byzantine Empire!
Heraclius was wearing heavy shackles, his body was thin, and his steps were unsteady. He looked like a prisoner, and he did not look like the most noble emperor in the past.
It had been a long time since Heracles had seen the sun, and he could not open his eyes because of the strong light.
However, he still knew where he was and the fate he would face next.
Today's highlight was to judge him, the emperor, and cut off the last bit of restraint for the future of Great Qian Empire!
Heraclius's appearance caused many people in the square to exclaim.
But soon, the shock was replaced by anger.
"Die, Tyrant!"
"So you are the real demon!!”
"My brother was deceived by you and died on the battlefield! This is all your fault!"
"It was you who allowed those nobles to bully the civilians! You are the real tyrant!"
"I really shouldn't have believed your slanderous words about His Majesty the Holy Emperor!”
.........
The people were furious. If the guards on both sides didn't stop them, they would have rushed forward to tear Heracles apart.
After the Pope revealed the " truth ", the trust and loyalty of the people towards Heraclius had been completely shattered.
How much respect he had before was now how much hatred he had.
In fact, many people were already resentful.
Because of the war between the Byzantine Empire and the Great Qian Empire, the Byzantine Empire had to recruit soldiers from the commoners to replenish their forces.
Therefore, many families were broken because of this.
As this was the War of the Patriots, and with the propaganda of the Empire and the Holy See, the people shifted their hatred onto the Great Qian Empire and Li Chengdao.
Now, Li Chengdao had become the reincarnation of a God and was the savior of the Byzantine Empire.
Therefore, the people's anger was ignited once again, and they all targeted Heracles!
If it wasn't for this tyrant, why would the gods punish him?
Those nobles bullied the commoners, but as the emperor, he turned a blind eye! You even tricked us into risking our lives!
It was all because of him!
Curses and angry shouts filled the entire square.
From time to time, things would be thrown at Heracles from both sides, but they were all blocked by the guards.
Chiracla could clearly hear these hateful and hateful gazes.
However, he did not react at all. He just allowed himself to be escorted onto the high platform.
A guillotine had already been placed on top of it.
Only by beheading the tyrant could the anger of the people be slightly appeased.
Looking at the fallen emperor being escorted up, Li Chengdao said indifferently,""Long time no see, Heraclius."
He and Heraclius had been playing war as a chessboard for seven years. This emperor's talent was indeed extraordinary and worthy of his respect.
Hearing Li Chengdao's words, Heracles raised his head and looked at him. There was no fear or hatred on his face. He was very calm.
He stared at Li Chengdao for a long time before saying,"I didn't expect you to do something that even the emperors of Byzantine couldn't do.”
Heraclius 'tone was somewhat emotional.
The matter he was talking about was the matter of Li Chengdao making the Holy See yield.
Ever since the emperors of Byzantine many generations ago, the emperors of Byzantine Empire had the idea of getting rid of the Church.
However, after working hard for more than ten generations, there was still no progress.
"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean I can't.”
Li Chengdao did not hold back at all. His words revealed an extremely powerful confidence.
Chirak was slightly stunned. He looked at the people below the stage and asked,""Is what you said before true? Do you really intend to free all the slaves?”
"I am the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven's words carry nine tripods. Since I have already made a promise, there is no reason for me to go back on it.”
Li Chengdao said concisely.
"Foolish move! You are also the emperor, how can you give those lowly slaves the chance to advance?”
Heracles snorted coldly.
"If you abolish slavery, the pyramid of the Imperium will no longer be stable. One day in the future, you or your descendants will also be pulled down from the throne!”
Li Chengdao raised his eyebrows and said," The world's general trend is that after a long separation, it will be united. After a long separation, it will be separated. No dynasty can last forever."”
"As long as I am alive, this world will be mine. No one can shake it!”
"As for my descendants, if their positions are taken away by others, what does it have to do with me? They could only blame themselves for being incompetent.”
At this point, Li Chengdao glanced at Heracles and sneered,""You, a ruler of a subjugated country, are here to teach me how to govern the country?”
Heraclius 'expression froze when he heard this, and he said with disgust,"You're really annoying!"
"One day, you will definitely experience the feeling of failure because of your arrogance. I hope that when the time comes, your ending will be better than mine!”
Li Chengdao smiled in response to Heracles 'vicious curse.
"Thank you."
Heracles didn't want to talk to him anymore. He turned around and strode toward the guillotine.
As an emperor, he naturally had the dignity of an emperor.
Facing death and failure calmly was the cultivation of a qualified emperor.
With the help of the guards, he unshackled himself and put his head into the guillotine.
Li Chengdao stood behind Heracles, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
"Treat my people and my wife and daughter well.”
This was Heraclius 'last words.
The guillotine suddenly fell, and a head rolled into the basket!
"Alright!"
Endless cheers erupted below the stage. Countless people cheered and celebrated the tyrant's death.
Li Chengdao closed his eyes slightly and mourned the passing of a great lord.
When he opened his eyes again, fighting spirit burned in them.
From today onwards, Great Qian Empire was the real Great Qian Empire!
