I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Chapter 510 Xiao Qiao Hates Lanling King

Master Qiao sighed and said,

"The problem lies with you, Your Majesty. From the first time I saw you, I felt that you exuded a murderous aura.

The sin of killing that you carry on your shoulders is truly unprecedented in my life."

Hearing this, Shen Changgong sighed in his heart, is this really the case?

But he still argued,

"War always results in casualties. If we were to bear the sin of killing because of too many deaths, then I'm afraid that no general in history would have a good end.

Moreover, I never massacre a city. When I defeat an enemy, I primarily take captives. I never kill civilians. I am compassionate, so how could killing be considered a serious sin?"

Master Qiao shook his head and said,

"If they died simply because of war, that was their fate. They were destined to die this way, and no one could change it. This was a normal death, not an unjust one.

Your Highness has committed so many sins of murder in this world, and countless people have died directly or indirectly because of you.

They shouldn't have died like this, but because of your appearance, they died.

So their deaths were all unjust.

The wronged souls cannot enter hell, cannot be reborn, and can only remain in this world, turning into resentment and haunting. "

Shen Changgong frowned when he heard this and said,

"What do you mean they shouldn't have died like this? Others who died in the war died normal deaths.

"Dying in this king's war is considered an unjust death. How can this be justified?"

Master Qiao shook his head and sighed,

"I don't understand either. I can't see through the prince's fate. I can only calculate one thing, that is... the prince is a rootless person."

"A rootless person? How is that possible? Everyone is born and raised by their parents. My parents are still living well in Shengjing..."

Having said that, Shen Changgong's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Rootless people do not belong to this world. Those people should not have died, but they died because of his arrival.

Indeed, the original Shen Changgong should have died. After he came, he changed the original trajectory of this world.

If he had been content to be a rich man and lived a carefree and happy life, it would not have had much impact on the world.

But what he did was too big.

Because he wanted to destroy the powerful families, issue the Enfeoffment Order, and seize military power, Prince Ning rebelled, colluded with Emperor Kun, and led the Yuhuatian army into the State of Yan.

The fate of countless people and the situations of countries around the world also changed at that time.

The fall of nations, the reform of policies, the change of systems, the birth of the imperial examination system...

It can be said that he influenced the fate of everyone in the world.

The cause and effect are too huge.

Master Qiao looked at Shen Changgong's expression and said slowly,

“I don’t know what’s going on with the prince, but I’m sure the prince knows it clearly.

Your Highness, there is no need to tell me. I cannot bear the consequences of this.

But I want to tell you the reason why you have no children.

First, you are a rootless person, so it will be difficult to leave roots. Even if you do leave roots, they will easily die.

Second, your sins of killing are too heavy. You are strong and can bear it, but it does not mean that your children can bear it too.

Your Majesty, the Emperor has the aura of a human emperor and the protection of purple energy, but you do not."

Shen Changgong thought what the other party said made sense.

After thinking for a long time, he asked,

"So what should I do now? Stop the war? Call for peace? Otherwise, I won't be able to have children, and I won't live long either."

"Your Majesty, the tide of time is pushing you forward, and you can no longer stop.

Without you, Dayan will be doomed;

Without Dayan, you will be shattered.

To unify the world, it is either success or death.

If you show even a little bit of weakness, not only the enemy countries, but also the people of the countries you occupy will tear you to pieces.

Only by following the general trend and suppressing the world with the strongest possible attitude can you prevent those scoundrels from harboring any dissenting thoughts."

Shen Changgong also nodded and said,

"Yes, this is what I think too. I am already riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off. I seem to be in a good position, but in fact I am walking on thin ice.

While I am still alive, I will unify the world and leave behind one or two heirs who can suppress those arrogant soldiers and generals and the remnants of the old countries in the world.

Otherwise, once I die, the world will be in chaos and countless lives will be lost.

Is there any way to solve this problem, Taoist Priest?"

Master Qiao said seriously,

"Since I have summoned His Majesty, I must have a way. If I had no way, I would not have told His Majesty about this."

"Please tell me, sir. As long as this king can do it, I will definitely do it."

"I can't do it, but she can."

Master Qiao pointed at the little Taoist nun beside him and said.

"Her? Is there anything special about this fairy lady?"

"Of course there is, didn't I tell the prince?

She has a pure heart like glass and a spotless body. Our entire Taoist temple put together is not as important as her.

To put it simply, she is the cleanest and purest person in the world. Only she can suppress the sins in you and purify them."

Shen Changgong became interested when he heard this and said,

"Oh? Taoist Priest, please give me a price. How much do you want to sell it to me?"

"Ow!"

The little nun screamed, ran to Shen Changgong and was about to bite her.

Shen Changgong held her head with one hand to suppress her.

Master Qiao sighed and said,

"This girl, like you, is a rootless person. Her origins are unknown. She was picked up by a commoner from the banks of the Wei River. She was floating on a lotus leaf at the time.

When the people saw that she was not drowned, they thought she must be a divine being, so they climbed the mountain and brought her here.

Seeing that she was indeed born with extraordinary appearances and had a pure body, I accepted her into my Taoist sect.

She had no name because she was still young and could not become a nun, so she took the poor monk's surname and became Qiao.

She had no name, and people in the Taoist temple called her Xiao Qiao.

Your Majesty, you must keep her with you."

The little nun named Xiao Qiao shook her two balls of hair like a rattle and said loudly,

"Xiao Qiao hates Lanling Prince. Don't go with him, Xiao Qiao. He bullies Xiao Qiao."

Master Qiao continued,

"Your Highness, you don't need to keep it for long. I remember that in the Qi Palace, there is an uncarved piece of pale yellow and white jade, half the size of a palm. You can bring it here.

After handing it over to Xiao Qiao, Xiao Qiao will stay by your side, purifying your sins of killing while using your breath to carve the unpolished jade.

After 81 days, the jade is carved, and the prince can wear it on his body to purify his sins of killing and change his fate.

Then, you can return Xiao Qiao to us."

After thinking about it, Shen Changgong felt that it was feasible.

Raising a child doesn’t cost much anyway. The old Taoist’s words sounded so magical that he almost revealed his identity as a time traveler. It’s better to listen to the old Taoist’s words.

There's no loss anyway, so just consider it as peace of mind.
