Chapter 315: Qi Huoyuan was sentenced to death
Qi Huoyuan, who was in the dust, returned to South Korea and immediately met the king of Han.
King Han, who had just seen Qi Huoyuan come back, was still very happy, thinking that Qi Huoyuan would bring the news he wanted, but who knew that Qi Huoyuan came back and told him that it was a failure of this mission.
This made King Han's face change at that time, from the sunny weather just now to the haze weather.
Seeing that not only did King Han's face change, but even the warm tone just now disappeared immediately, Qi Huoyuan's heart began to feel uneasy.
"You mean, you didn't bring Qi Kexue back?" King Han's cold tone made all the courtiers below shiver.
"The old minister deserves to die, he failed the emperor's trust, please punish the emperor." Qi Huo Yuan Lima knelt down, his knees touching the hard ground and making a clattering sound.
"Damn? Damn it, I've already given you two chances, and you didn't finish it twice, so what's the use of me leaving you? It seems that you are old and it's time to abdicate and make way for you. King Han's words made Qi Huoyuan, who was originally nervous, even more unconfident in his heart.
Is the meaning of the words of King Han ......
No, King Han won't be so ruthless.
"Your Majesty, please give the old minister a chance to atone for his sins, so that the old minister can continue to serve the country." Qi Huoyuan kowtowed as he spoke, hoping that King Han would be able to let go of his life's path.
"I've given you a lot of opportunities, but you haven't cherished them once, and it seems that I'm too tolerant to make you so presumptuous.
Come on, take off Qi Huoyuan's top flower feather, press it into the prison, and ask for beheading ten days later. With a wave of his hand, King Han took a person's life like this.
Qi Huoyuan couldn't have imagined that King Han was really so ruthless, but if this thing was not done well, he would take his life.
He is unwilling, how can he be treated like this? How can you not even give him a chance to live.
Even if he really didn't complete the task given to him by King Han, he wouldn't be guilty of death, right? There must have been something else he didn't know about all this time.
But what's the use of thinking about these things now? It's all late.
As soon as the emperor's golden words came out, where was there any hope of taking it back.
"The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life!" After Qi Huoyuan heard such an order from King Han, he lost his strength at that time.
The whole person sat on the ground as if his soul had been drained of his soul.
But the human desire to survive is still supporting him, and he has to make a final effort, to make a final effort while he is still in front of King Han, hoping to pick up a dog's life.
"Your Majesty, spare the ministers, the emperor will spare his life!" Hoarse shouts echoed throughout the Golden Luan Palace.
That is the last cry of life, that is the desire for life, that is the last desire of an old man to survive.
However, in the eyes of King Han, these were just the last struggles of a completely useless person, and in his eyes they were just wasting his time.
With an impatient wave of his hand, the guards outside the Jinluan Hall immediately dragged Qi Huoyuan down and put him in the prison.
This scene is not uncommon in the Jinluan Palace.
King Han's punishment of Qi Huoyuan was very happy, but it still sounded the alarm again in everyone's hearts.
Everyone says that a companion is like a tiger, and this is true.
Qi Huo Yuanxian didn't say how the task given to him by King Han was done this time, just looking at the many achievements made before King Han ascended the throne, as well as the loyalty when he supported King Han when he ascended the throne, he should be spared this old life.
It's a pity that after King Han ascended the throne, Qi Huoyuan didn't know moderation at all, and his merits were high, and he had already offended Tianyan and laid the root of the curse, which was why he was really sentenced to death.
When Qi Huoyuan was dragged down, none of the courtiers in the palace interceded for him.
Some only have sympathetic gazes, gloating gazes, and some are simply insensitive.
This is the final fate of the former generation of heroes.
*
In the gloomy prison, there was the sound of ghosts crying and howling, which was terrifying to hear.
Suddenly, there was a creak from the gate of the prison, and someone forcefully opened the large rusty iron door of the prison.
As the iron door was opened, a man's shout was heard.
"Let go of me, I want to see the emperor, I want to see the emperor." Take a closer look, this person is none other than Qi Huoyuan, who has just been taken off the top and wears a flower feather.
At this time, Qi Huoyuan was no longer the high-spirited him he was at the beginning, and now he was disheveled, and his clothes had become dirty.
His hands were chained by merciless chains, and his arms were carried into the prison by two officers and soldiers.
Qi Huoyuan was still very unconvinced, and he still shouted that he wanted to see King Han, he didn't want to die like this.
He didn't want to die, he hadn't lived enough, and there were still old and young people at home waiting for him to raise.
He hasn't enjoyed the blessings of his children and grandchildren, he still has a lot of things to do, he doesn't want to die like this, don't, resolutely don't.
But how can everything be done as well as it should?
The officers and soldiers here have long been surprised, and everyone who enters the prison is the same, all of them want to see the emperor, and all of them refuse to accept their fate.
But how many of the people who came in here could really go out?
It's not that he will be locked up here for the rest of his life, and he will accept his fate from now on, or he will be dragged out and beheaded for public display after being locked up for a while, obviously, Qi Huoyuan is the latter.
"I advise you to stay here honestly, cherish your last ten days, don't work hard, you will never see the emperor again in your life." It is the cell boss here who speaks.
The new prisoner came in today, he had to take a look, anyway, he was also in charge here, and it was not good to be too lazy.
The cell boss yawned, drank tea, and watched Qi Huoyuan still be locked up in the prison after making a useless struggle there.
Seeing that Qi Huoyuan only had ten days to live, the cell boss kindly comforted.
After hearing the cell leader's persuasion, Qi Huoyuan was like a ball of anger that wilted all of a sudden.
Yes, how could he not know that where could anyone who entered here still be able to see the emperor.
His clamor and shouting was just in vain, and now he was just a man waiting to die, ten days, did he only have ten days?
I can't imagine that his dignified hero of a country will end up like a field, which is really ridiculous.
He just didn't want to admit this fact from the bottom of his heart, he just didn't want to die yet, he ......
What's the use of what he thinks?
After realizing this cruel reality, Qi Huoyuan once again slipped from the wall to the ground.
In the prison, the ground was covered with straw and smelled rancid.
From time to time, a few rats popped out of the straw, making squeaky sounds.
The rats here are big, with their long tails dragging behind them, and they are the lords of the place.
Seeing the newcomer Qi Huoyuan, the mice were not alarmed, the mice here had already exercised and were not afraid of humans.
After staring at Qi Huoyuan for a while with round eyes, he cautiously approached Qi Huoyuan, who was motionless, and was about to gnaw on his toenails.
The mouse just approached Qi Huoyuan, Qi Huoyuan moved coldly, and the mouse immediately ran away smartly, and when it ran away, it also made a squeaky angry cry.
After the cell boss saw that Qi Huoyuan had already recognized the reality and would not make any more trouble, it would be meaningless to stay here any longer.
got up and patted his ass and left.
After the cell boss left, the two subordinates dared to occupy the only table in the prison, I don't know if this is considered that there is no tiger in the mountain, and the monkey is called the king?
After the two soldiers sat down, they took out the wine that they didn't know where they had just hid it and drank it boldly.
In the dungeon that was still full of rancid smell just now, a few wisps of wine faintly wafted in.
Qi Huoyuan has never been an alcoholic, but wine is also indispensable when socializing.
The few wisps of wine fragrance that came from this brought Qi Huoyuan's attention back, making Qi Huoyuan's originally empty eyes have a few glimmers of light.
I don't know if it's the reason for the imminent death, Qi Huoyuan is now starting to miss home, his wife, that is, Qi Kexue's mother, and Qi Kexue, who has never been around, and the other children in the family.
He stayed in the dark prison and began to think back to what he had done.
He remembered how he had used his own flesh and blood to gain power.
He remembered how he treated Qi Kexue, and then how he sent her to Qi Huan's hands.
He remembered how he used vile and nasty means to get what he wanted from other people.
He remembered how he had admired his hair-tied wife at first, and how he had treated her after he had caught it.
Suddenly, he found that none of the things he remembered at this time had anything to do with his name or his interests.
He had pursued something all his life, and when his life was about to end, he didn't even think about it at all.
Is this what he's been pursuing all his life? Is this what he spent his whole life for, giving up his flesh and blood, and giving up his family affection?
It is said that what is most important to a person is what he thinks before he dies.
His mind is now full of his hair-tied wife and his most sorry daughter, Qi Kexue.
Could it be that deep down in his heart, what he cares about most is actually his wife and children?
The most important thing for him is not the fame and fortune he pursues at all, but the family affection that has always been by his side and has never been cherished?
Finally at this moment, Qi Huoyuan saw everything clearly, but unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now, and it was too late to understand everything.
At this time, he couldn't do anything but wait here for death.
If the sky gives him another chance, he will definitely change his past mistakes, treat his wife well, treat their daughter well, and make up for all the things he didn't do before.
He will no longer pursue illusory things such as fame and fortune, he will do his duty to be a good husband and a good father.
Thinking of this, Qi Huoyuan couldn't control the desperate feeling in his heart, and cried bitterly.
