Volume 1, Chapter 143: The Emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people
"Third Lord, save me. I don't want to die!"
When the Emperor of the Great Zhou saw Bai Qi charging at him with a Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, he screamed in fear.
He placed all his hopes on the Third Priest, and at this moment he wished he could hold on to the Third Priest's thighs.
But the Third Priest collected the countless flying needles floating around his body at this moment. He was unwilling to die together with Bai Qi!
Moreover, the Third Priest has always believed that Bai Qi must have a trump card!
Otherwise, Bai Qi would not have gone to the capital specifically to die.
Bai Qi was also extremely nervous at this moment, always paying attention to the actions of the Third Priest. If the Third Priest suddenly attacked him, he would definitely take action.
He still has so much experience points and super skill points that he hasn't used yet.
Even if you fail to kill the three priests, it is very easy to escape from here safely!
The reason why Bai Qi acted as if he wanted to die together with his friends was that he wanted to intimidate the three priests so that they would not dare to exchange their lives with his!
Sure enough, when Bai Qi's Fang Tian Hua Ji chopped on the left arm of the Emperor of the Great Zhou, the three priests just twitched their eyelids, but had no intention of taking action.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou let out a scream as one of his arms was cut off.
"Bai Qi! Do you really want to kill the king?"
The Emperor of the Great Zhou gasped in pain, but fortunately there were many spiritual medicines in the palace, and he carried a lot of them with him. After taking a sip of the spiritual medicine, the blood on his arm stopped immediately.
At this time, his desire to survive was even stronger!
He looked at Yue Shenqiang, Yang Wudi, and the other generals hesitantly, "Can you please save me? I am the Son of Heaven!"
After all, the people around were all ministers, and finally someone spoke up:
"Bai Qi, please show mercy! If you do that again, you will really become a regicide!"
"Even if the emperor is wrong, he is still the emperor of the Great Zhou!"
At this moment, it was not only General Cao Changqiu who persuaded him.
Even Yang Wudi frowned and reminded: "If we really want to deal with the tyrant, it is better to let him abdicate first!"
"After you abdicate, you can be a model!"
But now the emperor of Dadu is still on the throne. If Bai Qi executes him without authorization, it will be unacceptable according to etiquette and law.
Yang Wudi proposed a plan, which was to force the emperor of the Great Zhou to abdicate, and after the abdication, let the new emperor deal with him.
At this time, the Great Zhou Emperor also immediately begged for mercy: "Bai Qi, I am willing to abdicate! As long as you spare my life!"
Save your life first, and then find an opportunity to kill Bai Qi!
He had his own little plan in mind.
Besides, after he abdicates, his son will be the emperor. Is he afraid of being killed?
Bai Qi sneered: "You want to abdicate, so you can distance yourself from the matter? You're dreaming! I'm going to judge you, the Emperor of the Great Zhou!"
Bai Qi swung his Fang Tian Hua Ji again and stabbed it directly into the right shoulder of the Emperor of Zhou, lifting him up high.
At this moment, everyone exclaimed in unison, and the civil officials all thought that Bai Qi was really crazy!
Bai Qi stared at the Great Zhou Emperor and roared word by word:
"You are the emperor of the Great Zhou, but for the sake of immortality, you colluded with the Northern Liang State Master, framed loyal officials, and betrayed the Great Zhou. Do you know your crime?"
At this moment, the people all quieted down and looked at Bai Qi with wide eyes.
"Bai Qi really dares to judge the Emperor of the Great Zhou!"
"In the past, they only knew that the emperor would judge his subjects, but they had never seen a subject dare to judge the emperor!"
The people felt extremely relieved.
There was a glimmer of beauty in Princess Anyang's face. Bai Qi always did things beyond her expectations. She had never thought of treating her father like this before.
But it’s okay this way!
Even if Bai Qi really killed the Emperor of Zhou, it would not have any impact on Bai Qi's own reputation!
He is indeed the man I like, he does things differently.
Anyang secretly approved in his heart.
At this moment, the Emperor of Zhou was extremely angry, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
Although he was now being lifted up by Bai Qi's Fang Tian Hua Ji, it did not stop him from screaming and cursing:
"I am the emperor. What right do you have to judge me? Even if I am guilty, all you need to do is issue an imperial edict to accuse me of my sins!"
"When did it become your turn as a subject to dare to treat the king like this?"
The Emperor of the Great Zhou refused to accept the decision and felt that even if he was guilty, he could not be judged by these lowly people.
This is his privilege as an emperor.
At this moment, the weak Yue Shenqiang also opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
After all, in his opinion, what Bai Qi is doing now is too subversive to his worldview.
The king is the king, the minister is the minister, the father is the father, the son is the son.
This is the philosophy he has always believed in.
The people also fell silent. The ethical concepts of the feudal dynasty had always been rooted in their hearts. For a while, it was difficult for people to accept Bai Qi's current practices.
The third priest on the side also looked at Bai Qi coldly. He wanted to see how Bai Qi could win the hearts of the people and the army after killing the emperor of the Great Zhou!
As long as Bai Qi is not supported by the people and no civilians and soldiers are willing to die with Bai Qi, then he can kill Bai Qi at any time if he wants to.
Bai Qi looked at the Great Zhou Emperor and grinned:
"If I remember correctly, the first sentence of the Great Zhou Law is: If the emperor breaks the law, he shall be punished the same as the common people!
This was something that everyone had already recognized when the country was first established.
What? Now it’s really your turn. Are you afraid to acknowledge yourself as the Emperor of the Great Zhou again? ”
With a bang, Bai Qi spoke. Echoing in everyone's ears.
If the emperor breaks the law, he will be punished the same as the common people!
This is something people say every day, who doesn't know it?
But who has ever implemented it seriously?
There is an insurmountable gap between the nobility and the common people, and nowadays, doctors are not suitable for this!
Even the nobles cannot be dealt with at will, let alone the almighty Emperor of the Great Zhou!
But there was nothing wrong with what Bai Qi said, because when the laws of the Great Zhou were established, it was already made clear that no matter who broke the law, they would be treated equally!
The people suddenly became excited. If the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was really executed according to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty this time, then who could escape the punishment of the law if any nobles broke the law in the future?
"The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people!"
"The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people!"
"Severely punish the Great Zhou Emperor and give justice to the people! Give justice to Marshal Yue and Marshal Yang!"
"If you betray the Great Zhou, everyone will kill you!"
For a moment, the people were excited, raising their fists and roaring, with bright light flashing in their eyes.
It seemed that as long as they executed the Emperor of Zhou, they would find the meaning of life.
At this moment, a beautiful woman hidden in the crowd had her eyes full of horror, "General Bai Qi, every time I see you, you always make my eyes light up!"
The woman was none other than Li Shishi.
Seeing that the people wanted to punish the Great Zhou Emperor so much, Bai Qi smiled and shouted:
"Where is the Minister of Justice?"
The Minister of Justice in the crowd immediately ran over, bowed to Bai Qi and said, "Your humble servant, the Minister of Justice, pays respect to the Grand Marshal!"
Yes, at this moment Bai Qi was one of the three highest officials in the entire Zhou Dynasty.
They are the three giants in the court who are on par with the prime minister and the general!
The Minister of Justice was only the chief official of one of the six ministries, so of course he had to bow when he saw Bai Qi.
Bai Qi nodded and asked, "What crime should the Great Zhou Emperor be punished for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, framing loyal officials?"
With a gulp!
The Minister of Justice swallowed hard, then looked at the anxious Emperor of Great Zhou, and then glanced at the three silent priests out of the corner of his eye.
He knew that the situation was hopeless, so he immediately bowed to Bai Qi, and replied respectfully as if he were a subordinate paying respect to his superior:
"Your Highness, according to the laws of the Great Zhou, you should be torn into pieces by five horses!"
