Her Highness the Princess also stood in the middle of this group, wearing a magnificent coat and a gold bracelet on her wrist.
Upon seeing this, all the people were mesmerized.
"What's going on?" This was the standard reaction from everyone.
The gong stopped, and a silence slowly enveloped the entire gate.
Li Hu looked up and began to speak, but his voice was so weak that the people could not understand what he was saying.
What's going on?
"I can't hear you, speak louder!"
At that moment, a guard behind him stepped forward and poked her.
Li Hu raised his voice and started again: "I am Li Hu, the former general of the Great Xia!" He spoke louder and louder, his voice echoing on the city wall.
"Today I have come here, before Heaven and before all the people, to confess my sins."
The crowd below the city wall began to shout and yell, filling the air with all sorts of mockery and profanity.
Li Hu raised his voice again, trying to make sure everyone could hear him. "I betrayed the late emperor, I betrayed his trust and entrustment," he shouted, "I conspired with Wei Maozhen to secretly alter the imperial edict and enthrone Wei Maozhen as emperor!"
Not only that, I murdered Marshal Lin Wenzhong and his eldest son by despicable means.
I also colluded with the Dos people, intending to assassinate the King of Shu of Great Xia. I also attempted to cede territory from Great Xia and to persuade other countries to send troops to attack King Lin Mo of Shu.
Everything I did was planned and carried out together with Wei Maozhen.
"Impossible, right? His Majesty would be that kind of person?"
"You're lying, you're lying!"
The people below the city wall started shouting and yelling.
Seeing this, Li Hu turned his gaze to the distance, to Empress Wei Maozhen.
Wei Maozhen was pale and trembling uncontrollably.
But after seeing Zhao Zhilan, she finally mustered up her courage and walked to the city wall.
At this moment, all the people stopped their commotion and quietly looked at Wei Maozhen.
“Everything Li Hu said is true!” she finally said.
"What?" Everyone was astonished upon hearing this.
"Your Majesty, would you really do such a heinous thing just to deal with the King of Shu?"
"Impossible, impossible!"
Li Hu and Wei Maozhen had a close relationship, and since they both confessed to these crimes, it's highly likely that the truth is true.
But the people couldn't accept it right away.
The "wise ruler" and the good emperor in their hearts are actually this kind of person.
At this moment, Sun Mian knelt down in front of Lin Mo. “No one is perfect,” he said in a deep and resonant voice. “These two men have confessed their sins before Heaven and the people.”
Sages and deities teach us the importance of compassion. Your Highness, Regent, what should be done with these two sinners?
The surrounding area was filled with a cacophony of voices.
Seeing this, Lin Mo slowly walked out from behind.
"Lord Sun is right, no one is perfect!" Lin Mo said. "The Buddha said, 'Lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot.' My chief strategist Yao Guangxiao requests that I allow Wei Maozhen to shave her head and become a nun."
Meanwhile, Her Highness the Princess of Great Xia has been pleading with me to forgive them.
After speaking, Lin Mo looked at Zhao Zhilan with a smile.
"Therefore, I have decided..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Mo suddenly froze.
"System, what the hell are you doing?" Lin Mo suddenly blurted out something no one could understand. "What the hell am I doing?!"
