My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 413 Old Era

In the end, Zhu Houcong got the answer.

"Some people were executed by the Han court without hesitation, and the remaining people chose to surrender to the court that had the destiny. In the end, they completely lost the glory of their ancestors and became officials of the court and sacrifices of the destiny..."

The phoenix bird in front of me said.

His voice was calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

But Zhu Houcong can still feel the strong smell of blood from what happened on this land during the turn of Qin and Han Dynasties.

The once proud Zhou aristocrats and their families could even follow them all the way up to the Yan-Huang War, when the Yellow Emperor and Chi You fought in the Central Plains.

Their ancestors may have raised an army with King Wu of Zhou to defeat Zhou, and witnessed with their own eyes the glorious rule of Zhou Gong assisting the government and bringing the world back to its center.

He also saw with his own eyes that a group of soldiers marched eastward and devoured King You of Zhou, announcing the beginning of troubled times.

However, all this splendor, together with the eternal wealth that King Wu of Zhou had promised to the princes who followed him and their descendants to establish their own kingdoms after destroying Zhou.

With the violent Qin annexing the world, the smoke of the second unification war with the Han Dynasty was completely reduced to ashes.

The new nobles who have learned the skills of various schools of thought and climbed up step by step from the bottom did not hesitate to raise their butcher's knives against the old nobles who were still immersed in the destruction of the Qin Dynasty and the reconstruction of the eight hundred princes.

And the methods are more cruel than the violent Qin that was scolded by these old nobles with distant family backgrounds.

At least the First Emperor would still care about the friendship between the nobles of the pre-Qin Dynasty and build the Alpan Palace to accommodate the orphans of the nobles of the six countries.

And the descendants of dignitaries from the Six Kingdoms like Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang could still barely make a living under the rule of the Qin Empire.

The new Han Empire had no sympathy for these pre-Qin nobles who could not clearly see the situation.

For these fanatics who dream of returning to King Zhou to divide the world.

Hanting has only one answer.

Kill them all!

"You should have read that great book called "Historical Records". The descendants of the Sima family tried to reinterpret everything that happened in this land, and then they were closely monitored and persecuted by the Han court. The Han people deprived them of their The family's ability to have children, the reason why he was spared his life, was just something he wanted to write, and it had another use for the Han Dynasty, which was busy cleaning up the interior at that time, and then mobilizing resources to defeat the Huns in the north..."

As Fengniao said, Jiao Ming, who was not far away, looked increasingly impatient.

But due to the locking of the two people's auras.

But it didn't dare to act rashly.

Zhu Houcong felt that something suddenly appeared in his brain.

The Fengniao in front of him looked as usual and seemed not to notice anything strange about Zhu Houcong.

Zhu Houcong glanced at the King Qin Sword in his hand from the corner of his eye.

The King of Qin's Sword remained as usual, lying quietly on its side in Zhu Houcong's hand, exuding an icy cold light.

Fengniao's understanding of the history that happened after it greatly exceeded Zhu Houconn's expectation.

Perhaps even though it has lived in the Moon Palace for a long time, it is still always paying attention to the earth-shaking changes that are taking place in its hometown.

Seeing that Zhu Houcong was a little stunned because of the message just delivered by Tianming.

The phoenix thought it was Zhu Houcong who still had doubts about the history he told.

So he continued.

"Isn't the same true for the family of Li Guang, a famous general in the Han Dynasty? Another pre-Qin scholar-bureaucrat family. The ancestors first served as officials in the Jin State. Later, after the three families were divided into the Jin Dynasty, they became officials in the Wei State. Qin conquered Hexi and became the Qin State. The governor of Longxi of the country was granted the title of marquis and became a general. Even in the Han Dynasty, he was still a local wealthy family, and his descendants were generals for generations. It was so glorious—"

"As for why the Han court allowed the Sima family, the rulers of the Han court were concerned about the contribution the Sima family made to the unification of the world during the Chu-Han War, and when Emperor Gaozu put down the rebellion of a king with a different surname such as Ying Buluwan, They are relatively honest and just let them live, but that's all..."

Fengniao said calmly.

When it comes to those things it has seen with its own eyes. Its words are extremely calm.

Zhu Houcong in front of him was still observing the phoenix bird beside him, who was destined to be his helper.

He subconsciously clenched the King Qin Sword tightly, as if he had finally determined something.

Is there anything to worry about in destiny?

Zhu Houcong was thinking, and Fengniao's words came again.

"But fortunately they are just scholar-bureaucrats, not princes who were entrusted to the world by the royal family of the Pre-Qin Dynasty. Otherwise, the Han court would never allow them to walk alive on the land of the Han Dynasty. But even so, the Han court still does not trust these nobles from the same pre-Qin period. Their close servants, especially when they committed some wrongdoings in a fit of anger and confusion, the already sensitive Han court immediately slaughtered their entire family without waiting to verify the authenticity of the news. It’s not surprising anymore…”

Zhu Houcong was relatively clear about the two characters mentioned by Fengniao in front of him.

The Li Guang family has been an out-and-out scholar-bureaucrat since a long time ago.

Sima Qian's family was one of the eight hundred princes entrusted by the King of Zhou.

But the reasons behind the persecution and surveillance these two people suffered during the Han Dynasty still shocked Zhu Houcong.

From Xuanniao's words, he clearly saw for the first time the difference between this world and the world he once had.

When the wheels of history turn, it announces the end of the old era and the beginning of the new era.

The blood and cruelty are by no means gentler than the history of the world he once lived in.

Even more cold and cruel.

"The remnants of the old era will never be trusted by the rulers of the new era..."

The phoenix bird in front of him looked at Zhu Houcong, his eyes that had seen the vicissitudes of life seemed to want to tell something.

Perhaps he wanted to remind Zhu Houcong not to be too hasty in transforming the empire.

Because once the wheel of history is turned on, it will surely crush countless ignorant mortals who unfortunately stand in the way of history.

Or perhaps, this is just for himself. The once king of Jingchu land, but now he can only live in the moon palace, watching with cold eyes that his former relatives and friends were slaughtered by the new kings. The remaining tribesmen can only abandon their ancestral land and support their elders. Only by running away hastily with their young children and escaping to barbaric lands that those terrible sons of destiny disdain to rule can they find a way to survive.

He also tried to intervene, but unfortunately, facts proved that history was no longer on His side.

All his efforts were in vain except for allowing himself to narrowly escape death several times.

So why am I not a remnant of the old era?

Fengniao lamented in his heart.

An out-and-out remnant of the old era, the wheels of history are rolling forward, but the characters that are still alive in the world have even lost their names and shapes.

Zhu Houcong could understand his sadness.

The relics from another world are also incompatible with this terrible world.

But it is different from the desperate Fengniao who just wants to survive.

However, he still held on to some hope and tried to cut a bloody path with the long sword in his hand.

"evildoer--"

Zhu Houcong whispered as he looked at the evil phoenix named Jiao Ming not far away.

The King Qin sword in his hand danced as if it had been tempered thousands of times.

It is like the dance performed by ancient priests when praying to the gods.
