At this moment, 267,000 rebel soldiers have already knelt down on the ground.

It was raining heavily in the sky, and these rebel soldiers were shouting "surrender" and "forgive me".

They all had terrified expressions on their faces!

Although Zhao Chen issued an imperial decree to forgive the crimes of the Dongting Lake rebels, no one knows whether Liu Jiajun will really implement such an imperial decree!

They were all extremely anxious.

At this time, there was a commotion from the east, and it seemed that soldiers and horses were coming here again.

Hearing this voice, the rebel soldiers felt even more uneasy.

Then they heard the voice of Long live!

After hearing this voice, the rebel soldiers were all stunned.

"Long live? How can there be such a voice?"

"What's going on? Could it be that the emperor came here?"

"Is Emperor Xuanwu here?"

There was another commotion among the rebels, their hearts became more fearful and worried, and many people's faces became even paler!

Any rebel soldier knows who the emperor is, that is the king of the Song Dynasty, the ruler of the Central Plains, the most honorable person in heaven and earth! Although the White Lotus Sect has been promoting the prosperity of the White Lotus and the lifeless old mother, they are constantly belittling the court and the emperor, but the impression of the emperor's dignity is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the rebel soldiers! I'm afraid even Zhong Xiang himself has to admit that Emperor Song is the most honorable person in the world!

This person is obviously in Lin'an, why did he come to Miluo County now, why did he appear in front of these rebels?

In the east, countless rebel soldiers are looking forward with their eyes wide open! For the emperor, they felt fear, apprehension, and curiosity in their hearts! They also want to see what the king of Song Dynasty looks like!

Soon, they saw that the army in front of them gave way, and surrounded by countless generals and guards, a young man in a dragon robe appeared in front of them.

There were people holding umbrellas for the young man, but the rain was too heavy, and the young man was finally wet.

The young man's first impression is heroic, he is full of heroic vigor, with indescribable confidence in his eyes.

When the young man looked at these rebel soldiers, there was no contempt or disdain in his eyes, which was quite different from the elders and disciples of the White Lotus Sect. The elders and disciples of the White Lotus Sect treated the rebel soldiers like pigs and dogs, and looked at them like ants.

At this moment, Zhao Chen could only see dead bodies everywhere on the ground. Although there was rain, the ground was still red, and the bodies of those dead bodies were still bleeding.

Some are young people, while others are in their sixties or seventies.

The faces of those old men were full of pain. Some of them were killed by arrows, but more were trampled to death by their own people. They are old and weak, and they are far behind those young people.

The clothes on them are all torn, and many of them are skinny. It seems that they have had a bad life all these years! They died on the battlefield before they could enjoy the affluence and happiness of the peaceful age!

There are still countless people lying on the ground moaning at this moment, their bodies are covered with wounds, and the surrounding rebel soldiers dare not rush over to help them up.

The rebel soldiers were still kneeling there.

When Zhao Chen's eyes swept over, many rebel soldiers felt that Zhao Chen's eyes were like lightning, and they all lowered their heads immediately! They were shocked. They never felt this way before, whether they looked at Zhong Xiang or Yang Mo or the other elders of the White Lotus Sect.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Grassmen see Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"Long live your majesty, long live your majesty! Your majesty, spare your life! Your majesty, spare your life!"

A moment later, crazier shouts rang out on the battlefield, and countless rebel soldiers were crying loudly! There is nothing serious except death, no matter how hard it is, as long as you are still alive, it means there is still hope! No one wants to die!

Zhao Chen stood there quietly, for a long time, the surroundings gradually became quiet.

"Why are you rebelling?" Zhao Chen said slowly.

Only some rebel soldiers in front heard Zhao Chen's voice.

Hearing this, they all stayed there.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Jianyan... no, when King Kang was in power, he cruelly oppressed the people of Dongting Lake! This was originally a land of fish and rice, but in just a few years, the people have no means of living! All kinds of heavy taxes near Dongting Lake, the government keeps They oppressed us, and Liu Guangshi also wanted to recruit soldiers here. We were unwilling to agree, so they forcibly pulled our father and brother out and beat our father and brother to death! We had no choice, and we were also taught by the White Lotus Sect Bewitched, that’s why the rebellion happened! Your Majesty, spare your life!” A rebel soldier in his forties shouted loudly.

"Yes! Your Majesty, we really couldn't survive at that time, so we rebelled! Besides, we are not against the imperial court, we are against King Kang's traitor!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

The surrounding rebel soldiers shouted one after another.

Zhao Chen just stood there, and after a while, the place became quiet again.

"Kang Kang's traitor has been killed by me. Why don't you submit to the court and stay on Dongting Lake? I have issued an imperial decree that your crimes will not be blamed. The imperial army has arrived. Why do you still fight against the imperial army?" Zhao Chen said slowly again.

Zhao Chen has been in martial arts for many years. At this moment, the tens of thousands of rebel soldiers in front of him could hear his voice clearly, but they all stayed here, so it was difficult to answer Zhao Chen's question.

"Your Majesty, we were persecuted by the White Lotus Sect and had no choice but to come!" In the end, the middle-aged man in his forties said.

"Yes! We are being persecuted by the White Lotus Sect! Those elders, altar masters, and incense masters of the White Lotus Sect are all extremely hateful! If we don't obey their orders, they will kill us immediately! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"Your Majesty, we also hate the White Lotus Sect!"

The rebel soldiers shouted again.

They were terrified and worried, their eyes were full of pleading, they hoped that the emperor in front of them would forgive them and keep them alive! They were afraid that Zhao Chen would not agree!

Zhao Chen looked at them and sighed in his heart.

From ancient times to the present in China, I don’t know how many peasant uprisings there have been! From Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in the Qin Dynasty, to Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang later, to Li Zicheng in the late Ming Dynasty! The reason for the peasant uprising is only four words "officials force the people to rebel"! The common people in China may be the kindest and most honest people in the world. If they are not really unable to survive, no one will rebel!

It's just that these peasant uprisings were exploited in the end! After they overthrow a dynasty, another dynasty will be established soon! They are always the ruled, they are always exploited! They just overthrew one "family world" in exchange for another "family world"!

Rise and fall of the common people suffer, whether the imperial court is prosperous or perish, ordinary people at the bottom will suffer! Even in various "prosperous times" in ancient times, the life of ordinary people is still difficult!

This time, the hundreds of thousands of people in Dongting Lake were also "officials forcing people to rebel", but in the end they were used by the White Lotus Sect! The White Lotus Sect has not yet won the world, and their actions are no different from those of the imperial courts in the world. They are high above, regard the people as ants, call the people "untouchables", and force these people to fight for them.

"Your Majesty, please, please spare us! If you spare us, we will always be grateful for your kindness! Your Majesty, I still have an old mother on the island. When I came out, I promised her that I would go back to see her Yes!" At this moment, a rebel soldier in his thirties was crying loudly.

"Your Majesty, please spare us! We swear that we will never rebel again, never again! Please, let us live."

"Your Majesty, give us a way out!"

More and more rebel soldiers were crying loudly there.

Standing behind Zhao Chen, Wu Jie was also sighing secretly at this moment.

"Your Majesty, these rioters are nothing to worry about! Even if they are all released, they will not be able to make a big wave!" Wu Jie said.

"I understand." Zhao Chen nodded.

At that moment, Zhao Chen took a few steps forward, getting closer and closer to the rebel soldiers. His body was completely wet at this moment, but his expression was still firm and calm.

All the rebel soldiers looked at him longingly.

"You are not joking! I decreed that day to forgive the crimes committed by the Dongting Lake rebels, and now I will not care about you! In other words, I have forgiven you! From now on, you are just ordinary people and can live a peaceful life .” Zhao Chen said loudly.

The tens of thousands of people in front heard it clearly.

"Did I hear you right? Your Majesty said to spare us?"

"That's right! It's true, His Majesty really said so!"

"My God! Your Majesty is so merciful that he really spared us?"

The rebel soldiers behind asked hurriedly. After hearing the words from the soldiers in front, the rebel soldiers behind were also excited.

"Long live Your Majesty! Long live! Long live!" Some rebel soldiers knelt on the ground and kowtowed frantically.

"Long live Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, we will never betray Da Song, and our descendants will never betray Da Song! I swear to my ancestors!"

"Your Majesty is truly a benevolent king through the ages!"

Almost all the rebel soldiers were prostrating. There were young people in their teens, middle-aged people in their 30s and 40s, and old people in their 60s and 70s. Everyone was extremely excited.

In the end, the sound of long live was heard everywhere, and the sound of long live was everywhere near the Miluo River.

After a full quarter of an hour, it was considered a little quiet here.

"This time I came with a large amount of food and grass. These food and grass are not used by the troops, but for disaster relief! Dongting Lake has experienced a great chaos, the lives of the people are devastated, and the lives of the living are also difficult. You can't eat enough every day. These food It is for you." Zhao Chen said.

"What? Disaster relief?"

"Is there such a good thing?"

"Your Majesty is merciful! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The voice of Long Live sounded again by Dongting Lake.
