    ?When Lin Haifeng woke up, his head was already covered with a bandage. In fact, it was the underwear strips that Chen Yucheng tore.  He stood up, pushed away Chen Yucheng and others who tried to support him, and staggered onto the rooftop.

    Shi Zhenji had been wrapped tightly in linen, with only his eyes, nose and mouth exposed.  The other soldiers of Prince An's palace guard returned behind the screen wall. Only Wang Haiyang and two other guards were left to tie Shi Zhenji head-first to the wooden frame.

    Wang Haiyang checked it carefully and then came to Wang An's side.  "Alright, Your Majesty."

    Lin Haifeng nodded and saw that a guard had taken a torch from the side. He slowly came to Shi Zhenji.  He first squatted down and touched Shi Zhenji's face with his hand, then lifted up the skirt of his robe and took out his pistol.  "I will violate the rules of heaven just once, so you will suffer less!" He put the muzzle of the gun against Shi Zhenji's chest and closed his eyes.

    "Bang!" With a dull gunshot, Shi Zhenji's feet, which had been soaked in oil, were ignited with blazing flames, and there were screams in the square.

    "The King of the East is here!" What a coincidence. It happened to be at this time that Yang Xiuqing finally showed up.  However, he did not ride in a sedan chair today, but rode a yellow gelding horse, escorted by a hundred or so people in uniforms, and entered from the south of the square through two separate groups of people.

    As soon as he arrived at the rooftop, Yang Xiuqing ignored the crowd of people kneeling on the ground shouting "Nine Thousand Years Old King of the East", and did not look at the Red Army officers and soldiers who saluted him. He stamped his feet at Lin Haifeng and pointed at Lin Haifeng who had just been killed.  The flames engulfed his feet, and Shi Zhenji, who was like a huge candle, kept shouting, "Quick, put out the fire!"

    "No need, Brother Dong Wang," Lin Haifeng lowered his head and said sadly, "He is already dead, so just continue to burn it. It will be a lesson to everyone!"

    "This" Yang Xiuqing sighed, "Are you, your brother, so anxious? The main reason is that the drafted edict has just been approved by the Emperor. It is also my fault that I was delayed on the way. In fact,"

    Lin Haifeng forced a smile and cupped his hands, "Brother Wang, needless to say, I still want to thank Brother Wang for giving Heaven a beautiful tomorrow. I sincerely say so."

    "As long as I don't complain about my brother." After saying that, he turned around and ordered Fu Shanxiang who was following him, "read the edict of the King of Heaven immediately."

    "Don't you want to read it out?" Fu Shanxiang lowered his head, for fear of seeing the firelight on the rooftop, "House, reading it out now won't have a good effect."

    "Why?" Yang Xiuqing asked unhappily.

    "The palace has been burned down. Wouldn't reading this kind of edict add fuel to the fire? It can only make people feel chilling." Fu Shanxiang said in a low voice.

    "Yeah, it's really cruel." Lin Haifeng muttered as if to himself, "There is no such thing in heaven."

    Yang Xiuqing looked at Lin Haifeng, Fu Shanxiang, and then at the burning man on the rooftop. His cheeks were twitching as he touched the scars on his face.  Suddenly, he waved his hand and stepped onto the rooftop.  Looking at the crowd who were still kneeling on the stage, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fathers, brothers and sisters in heaven, the emperor and heavenly father are merciful, and our heaven is merciful. Of course, Shi Zhenji's death is well deserved, but at the same time, I also ask you to still be merciful.  Even I, the king, was shocked. The state has national laws and families have family rules, but why do we waste so much time on executing a criminal. There are Qingyao outside Tianjing City, and they are still working together to attack Tianjing in the Spring and Autumn Period.  Big dream. We should kill demons if we have the strength. This king declares that from now on, cruel and cruel punishments such as lighting sky lanterns and breaking chariots will be abolished. In the kingdom of heaven, men and women can marry freely, and arranged marriages are strictly prohibited. And no matter what  Man, whether you are a commoner or an official of the Celestial Dynasty, you are only allowed to marry one wife. We are all children of the Heavenly Father, and as a family, we must be the same as each other."

    He put his hands on his hips and waited for the enthusiastic reaction from the audience.  However, there was actually no sound in the square. Only the sound of the sizzling fat melting caused by the flames was slowly engulfed. It was so loud that it made people feel numb and chilled.

    Yang Xiuqing felt a little disappointed. He pointed his finger at Chen Yucheng, who had his head lowered on the table, and shouted, "Come up here and pour all the oil on me. If you want to burn it, burn it!"

    The rooftop turned into a sea of ??fire in an instant, and the flames soared, reflecting the moonless night sky red.

    At that moment, the originally silent square suddenly erupted into thunderous shouts, "Long live the kingdom of heaven! Long live the dynasty of heaven! The 9,000-year-old saint of the Eastern King!" Waves of shouts rumbled over the square, and there was a loud sound.  Far, far, long.

    At this moment, even though she had reached the rooftop, Yang Xiuqing felt taller.  However, he also saw that the Red Army soldiers did not cheer. They lowered their heads and stood silently facing the roaring flames.  He looked at Fu Shanxiang again and saw the crystal tears rolling in Fu Shanxiang's eyes. He saw her covering her face with her hands and her weak shoulders shaking.  well!  lookIf everyone listened to her, the effect would really be better.

    He slowly walked through the ranks of the Red Army and came to the people who were kneeling on their knees and cheering devoutly with all their strength.  He picked up an old man with both hands and said, "We are all our brothers and sisters. Don't kneel to me like this in the future."

    "Kneel down, kneel down," the old man said with tears of gratitude in his eyes, "The Kingdom of Heaven has given me everything, and I am my reborn parents. Kneel down to King Dong, and you are kneeling to the Kingdom of Heaven!"

    Yang Xiuqing nodded and patted the old man's trembling hands, "Prince An said it best. You are the real parents of the Kingdom of Heaven. Without you, there would be no Kingdom of Heaven." He looked at the people in front of him sincerely. In fact, the common people were all the same as him.  Same as before, too easy to be satisfied.  They don't ask for much, and sometimes even if there is only a little benefit, they will remember you forever.  Thinking of this, he raised his hands high and smiled from the bottom of his heart, "Since entering Tianjing, you have been kneeling to me for more than half a year. You probably scolded me more and said less about my good deeds. Today I also  Kneel back to you and make up for everyone." As he said that, he really bent his knees and knelt down.

    At this moment, those who had already stood up and those who had not moved at all suddenly knelt together.  The prince kneels down to the people, and they can only see it in his own heaven.  "The Eastern King is nine thousand years old!" The cheers were less about coping and more about coming from the heart.

    "Hahaha," Lin Haifeng smiled happily, helped Yang Xiuqing up, and urged everyone to get up. He took Yang Xiuqing's hand and looked at the people in front of him seriously, "Our nine-thousand-year-old King of the East is kneeling down.  It's enough to make the Emperor of Manchu Qing unable to sleep well tonight. If he kneels down again, the demon head Xianfeng will fall off the dragon throne."

    "Really?" Yang Xiuqing glanced at him proudly, and then looked at the people, "Since Lord An has said it, from now on I will kneel down often to save our heavenly army some trouble. But you have to  Stop kneeling, if you have nothing to do but kneel down, then we in Tianjing will have nothing to eat and nothing to wear."

    "What King Dong said is good." Lin Haifeng raised his hand, "A manly man kneels to the sky and the ground, and his parents in the middle. How can he kneel everywhere. If you have the energy to kneel, let's gather enough energy to kill the demon together.  , build our kingdom of heaven. Etiquette is not something that is put in the mouth or on the surface, but is mainly in the heart. If someone kneels in front of me, but curses in his heart, then I will be sad, it is better not to kneel to me,  Save yourself the scolding.¡±

    People smiled happily and looked at their leaders with pious and simple eyes.

    "Your Majesty, you can't ask us to stay here anymore." Chen Yucheng arrived at the side without knowing when.

    "You? What else can you do with your heads down?" Lin Haifeng glanced at him coldly.

    Chen Yucheng lowered his head and muttered, "We have some resentment, but we will put all the resentment on Qingyao. Doesn't the palace still believe us?"

    "It's really childish." Lin Haifeng looked at Yang Xiuqing and smiled, then turned to point at Chen Yucheng and said sternly, "A son doesn't think his mother is ugly, and a dog doesn't think his family is poor. You are a brigade commander, doesn't this make sense?  What do you want me to say? If I hadn¡¯t seen you as a child, I would have handed over the guns of your teaching brigade today. Are you still considered the Red Army of China? "

    "Forget it, no one will feel comfortable watching their former companions being punished." Yang Xiuqing tugged at Lin Haifeng's sleeves, "The war is about to begin, so let's arrange for them."

    Lin Haifeng's expression softened a little. He took out two Western pocket watches from his arms and handed them to Chen Yucheng. "You see, in order to ensure the needs of the front line, King Dongwang gathered pocket watches from various palaces.  For the use of you commanders. Think about yourselves and feel embarrassed. Go ahead and take your troops to Prince Ning to accept the mission."

    "Yes!" Chen Yucheng showed joy on his face, turned around and ran away.

    "Wait." Lin Haifeng slowly walked up to him, looked at him carefully for a while, and then stretched out his hand to straighten his military uniform, "Do a good job in mobilizing and don't let the people of Tianjing down."

    Yang Xiuqing looked at what Lin Haifeng did and felt a little puzzled. This brother Haifeng didn't have the demeanor that a military commander should have at all. Instead, he looked like a girl
