Chapter 257: The Great Zhou Emperor dies
After Xiao Huangting gave the order, it quickly spread throughout the people.
The people voted to decide the life and death of the emperor, and it was really the first time that the yellow flower girl got on the sedan chair.
Around the square, the rebels surrounded the scene, the scorching sun shone on Xiao Yuanshan's body, and he was hung in the air and had to endure both physical and mental torture at all times.
On the periphery of the square, there are ten huge vats, which are also the containers for the people to vote.
The people only need to write "life" or "death" on the paper, and they can influence Xiao Yuanshan's life and death.
On this day, the people of Jinling City put on a big show and divided into ten rows to cast their precious votes in the tank.
"Don't grind, get out of here after voting."
The soldiers on the side urged hard, but they didn't treat the people as human beings at all.
If Xiao Huangting hadn't played this kind of game, these people would have been slaughtered by the rebels a long time ago.
The people also dared to be angry with the rebels, they only hoped that there would be divine soldiers from heaven to drive these southern barbarians out of Jinling, so that they could live in peace and stability.
In a metropolis of 900,000 people, even voting costs a lot of time.
At this time, Xiao Huangting was not idle, he gathered all the old ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and just said to them: "Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die." ”
For ministers who are willing to submit, the position remains unchanged and continues to work; Those who do not want to surrender will be killed, and no hands will be spared.
Under the coercion of Xiao Huangting, most of them chose to surrender, and they were also human beings, both old and young.
......
After several days of voting, the ten giant vat was filled with slips of paper.
After a few more days of statistics, the results are finally out.
Xiao Huangting couldn't wait to know the answer, but after learning the final vote results, he was completely stunned.
"Lord Wang...... Oh no, Your Majesty, is this the vote of the people? ”
The statistician almost called the wrong name.
"What!! There are more than 600,000 votes! It's impossible. "Xiao Huangting can't figure it out.
Why would a faint king who was debaucherous and built a lot of construction projects be affirmed by the people? ! Didn't they dream of killing him?
Now he gave them a chance, but why didn't they want to kill him?
Why! Why the hell is that!!
"Your Majesty, it has exceeded 100,000 votes, so will Xiao Yuanshan kill or not?" Someone asked.
From the beginning, they didn't expect this kind of result, and they had long been ready to kill Xiao Yuanshan.
"Yes, of course...... Kill!! Xiao Huangting said.
"How do you explain the number of votes to the people?"
After all, that's more than 600,000 votes, which means that more than half of the people chose to protect Xiao Yuanshan.
But Xiao Huangting has always gone his own way, and said, "Explain what! Do I need to explain what I do to the lowly people? It's ridiculous. ”
"But you're the emperor now." The man's kind reminder.
Xiao Huangting suddenly realized that he was now the emperor, so he reluctantly took a cinnabar pen and drew an "X" on the statistical table of votes.
The word "ten" was erased, and 600,000 became "60,000".
He said: "Isn't this solved, 60,000 people agree, it's not that I want to kill him, but the people want him to die." ”
Xiao Huangting's operation really stunned everyone, it turned out that he could still do this, and the knife cut his ass and opened his eyes.
Xiao Huangting didn't feel inappropriate about this, he was an extremely conceited person, he didn't care about the eyes of outsiders, he only cared about the things he cared about.
In order to make the results authentic, he sent the respected ministers of the former imperial court to announce the results.
In the end, Xiao Yuanshan failed to counterattack with the votes of "68,723".
The people were skeptical of this result, after all, most of them wrote "sheng", but the old minister who announced the result was a great Confucian, and they were convinced.
As a result, Xiao Yuanshan was publicly executed.
......

The news reached Xiao Wuxin's ears, and he immediately understood the reason.
Xiao Wuxin couldn't help laughing, admiring Xiao Huangting's shamelessness.
"Dead castrations, the roots of the children and grandchildren are gone, and there are so many flowery intestines." Xiao Wuxin scolded.
Xiao Yuanshan was in a catastrophe, which was expected, but he didn't expect to end his life in such a funny and hasty way.
"Pass my order to launch an attack on Jinling tonight."
Xiao Yuanshan will definitely not survive today, what Xiao Wuxin wants to do is to take advantage of his unpreparedness and catch Xiao Huangting off guard.
After all, Emperor Zhou was dead, and Xiao Huangting must have started to prepare for many matters to board the plane to become emperor, and that was also the time when their precautions were the most lax.
......
Jinling.
On the execution ground, Xiao Yuanshan was escorted here, he was also the emperor anyway, and Xiao Huangting gave him a decent death sentence.
Hanging!
At least leave a whole corpse.
Xiao Yuanshan was hooded and tied to the gallows.
Under the watchful eye, the two executioners stood on the left and right sides, with Xiao Yuanshan's neck as the center point, and the two twisted the rope in the opposite direction.
As you twist more turns, the rope moves closer to the center point.
Hearing the creaking sound of the rope rubbing, Xiao Yuanshan, who was strangled by the neck, couldn't even make a sound.
I saw his body struggling instinctively, which was a reaction before suffocation.
With the two executioners working together, Xiao Yuanshan's painful struggle finally broke off.
A generation of Great Zhou emperors was strangled to death in front of the public.
put an end to the dynasty of the era in which he ruled,
