Volume 1, Chapter 144: Killing the Great Zhou Emperor
Dismembered by five horses!
When the Minister of Justice announced this punishment, the face of the Emperor of Zhou changed drastically.
"How dare you! I am the emperor!"
He didn't expect that the Minister of Justice would now obey Bai Qi's orders. This old guy was not so submissive even when he was an official under him!
But no matter how the Emperor of the Great Zhou roared, the Minister of Justice turned a deaf ear to him.
At this moment, the people and soldiers were so excited that their faces turned red, and they shouted in unison:
"Divide your body into pieces by five horses, draw your body into pieces by five horses!"
"If the emperor breaks the law, he will be punished just like the common people!"
"Severely punish the Emperor of Great Zhou!"
"Anyone who betrays the Great Zhou Dynasty and colludes with foreign enemies should die!"
At this moment, not only the soldiers brought by Bai Qi were shouting, but even the imperial guards who were originally guarding the capital of the Great Zhou were also roaring one by one.
They were also soldiers and once wanted to defend their country.
But what the Emperor of Zhou did had already broken their hearts.
They felt ashamed to have such an emperor.
Yang Wudi, who was standing by, opened his mouth wide. Who could have thought that one day a minister would be able to judge the king?
The most important thing is that we have the support of all the people and soldiers!
Even no one in the court opposed it.
Yes, at this moment, the generals were even looking forward to it. They had long disliked the Emperor of Zhou.
I've long hoped that he would die soon.
It was just that in the past, out of loyalty to each other as monarch and ministers, they suppressed this idea deep in their hearts.
The civil officials, on the other hand, were indifferent. It didn't matter to them whether the emperor of the Great Zhou was dead or alive. What they cared more about was whether the prince they supported could ascend to the throne!
Even the civil officials began to whisper to each other, preparing to jointly support a prince. As for the current emperor of the Great Zhou, he was already worthless!
"Three offerings, save me!"
The face of the Emperor of the Great Zhou turned pale. He didn't expect that he had obtained the elixir of longevity and had a lifespan of more than 300 years. He hadn't even enjoyed it yet, and now he was going to die!
And he was judged by his subjects!
Even if he dies, he will die in shame!
The Emperor of the Great Zhou could even imagine what an ugly mark he would leave in history books.
You can’t die. You absolutely can’t die!
The Emperor of the Great Zhou placed all his hopes on the three priests, but the three priests remained silent. Finally, the Emperor of the Great Zhou could only look to his daughter, Princess Anyang.
"I am your biological father! Daughter, save me!"
The Emperor of the Great Zhou pleaded hesitantly.
Princess Anyang bowed deeply to the Emperor of Great Zhou. Just when the Emperor of Great Zhou thought Anyang was going to plead for him, Princess Anyang said coldly:
"Your Majesty, I beg you to punish me!"
What!
The Emperor of the Great Zhou only felt that the world was spinning!
Is this my own daughter?
This is an enemy!
He almost vomited blood, pointed at Princess Anyang with trembling fingers, and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Bai Qi laughed out loud, the purpose of this trip had been achieved!
Now it’s time to send the Emperor of Zhou on his journey.
"Come here, prepare for the execution!"
Bai Qi threw the Emperor of Zhou to the ground. He was not afraid that this guy would die now. After all, the Emperor of Zhou had given him so many elixirs. As long as he didn't chop off his head directly, he would be fine.
The vitality of the Emperor of the Great Zhou is still quite strong.
Following Bai Qi's order, Da Zhuang and others immediately dismounted, grabbed the Emperor of Zhou, and began to tie up his limbs and head with ropes as if they were holding a chicken.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou struggled frantically and cursed angrily. Da Zhuang thought that this guy's curses were too harsh, so he raised his fist and punched him hard on the mouth.
With a bang!
The front teeth of the Emperor of the Great Zhou were knocked out again.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty screamed in pain.
At this time, a soldier asked, "It seems that the emperor has been cut into pieces. He can't be torn into pieces by five horses!"
After all, to be torn apart by five horses, one has to use five horses to tie up a person's limbs and head, and then pull them in different directions.
But the Emperor of the Great Zhou was missing an arm, so he couldn’t be tied up.
Da Zhuang scratched his head, and finally an idea came to him: "Isn't there still one leg?"
"Brother Dazhuang is still the best!"
The soldiers burst into laughter, and the Emperor of Zhou almost fainted after hearing it.
However, despite what the soldiers said and how they laughed, they still only tied up one arm and both legs of the Emperor of the Great Zhou.
After the four horses were ready, the people even made way for them to run freely.
Bai Qi then stood beside the Emperor of Zhou, ready to carry out the execution. After all, he had to kill the Emperor of Zhou with his own hands, so that he could get a huge reward!
He is the emperor of the Great Zhou. The reward for this is definitely more than killing the Xiongnu Khan!
Just as Bai Qi picked up the whip and prepared to execute him, the Emperor of Zhou shouted the most vicious curse at Bai Qi: "Bai Qi, you framed me today, and you will not die a good death in the future! No matter who gets the throne, there will be no room for you!"
The Emperor of the Great Zhou was not afraid that Bai Qi would declare himself emperor. If Bai Qi did so, the royal family of the Great Zhou would surely rise up and attack him.
"You don't have to worry about that! Who dares to kill me?"
Bai Qi sneered and whipped the four horses hard. The four horses immediately raised their front hooves and ran forward madly.
"No!"
The Emperor of the Great Zhou let out a shrill scream, staring at Bai Qi with his eyes fixed, and the next moment, he was dead without a complete body!
【bite! Congratulations to the host for killing the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the experience value will be increased by 500,000! 】
A system voice sounded in Bai Qi's mind.
I went so much?
Bai Qi even wanted to kill another Great Zhou Emperor!
This was simply too much, completely beyond his expectations.
Just as Bai Qi was immersed in the system's rewards, thunderous cheers broke out from the crowd.
"Long live the Great Zhou! Long live Bai Qi!"
"Long live the Great Zhou! Long live Bai Qi!"
The people were so excited that they were going crazy. The emperor of the Great Zhou had really been brought to justice. This was the greatest prosperity that had never happened in the 854 years since the founding of the Great Zhou!
No, since the establishment of the feudal dynasty, since ancient times, there has never been a minister who can judge the king!
This is so satisfying!
Yue Shenqiang was shocked. Bai Qi really did it!
What else can a minister do?
His worldview completely collapsed at this moment.
He didn't know whether what Bai Qi did was right or wrong, but he always felt empty in his heart.
The civil officials looked unhappy at this moment, because they found that the more the people shouted, the more something was wrong. It was understandable to say "Long live the Great Zhou".
After all, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, even the emperor could be punished the same as the common people if he broke the law!
Then this is definitely something worth celebrating for the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is also something that the people would like to see.
but!
Saying "Long live Bai Qi" is too much!
So the Minister of Rites ran out quickly, knelt directly in front of Bai Qi, and shouted loudly:
"General Bai Qi, the Grand Marshal, has returned with his troops and killed the tyrant! This is a major event that will benefit the country and the people!"
"I, your humble servant, now begs the Grand Marshal to appoint a new ruler!"
"A country cannot be without a ruler for a day! This matter cannot be delayed!"
After he shouted like this, other civil officials also reacted. If they had allowed the people to continue speaking, Bai Qi would have been crowned with a dragon robe and become the emperor.
The next moment, all the ministers of the Ministry of Personnel ran out, knelt in front of Bai Qi, and shouted loudly: "Please ask the Grand Marshal to appoint a new king!"
At this moment, Cao Changqiu's face was extremely ugly. He was also one of the Three Dukes, and his status was equal to that of Bai Qi.
But now all the civil officials did not take him seriously and even asked Bai Qi to establish a new king.
This made him feel mixed emotions.
I wanted to stand on the same camp with Bai Qi before, but now the more I look at Bai Qi, the more I dislike him.
Princess Anyang, who was standing by, had already dismounted, lifted her red skirt, and prostrated herself before Bai Qi, saying in a clear voice, "Please ask the Grand Marshal to appoint a new ruler!"
At this moment, Bai Qi looked at the civil and military officials, the numerous soldiers, and the people of the capital, and asked loudly:
"So who do you think should be the ruler of the Great Zhou?"
