Suddenly there was a drum sound, and the noisy crowd fell silent. Under the escort of the dragoon, more than a hundred prisoners, all of whom were members of the Murong family, old women and children, were tied in a long string with hemp rope and stumbled over. These princes, princesses, princes, and princesses who were still high up a few days ago, although they were still wearing gorgeous and luxurious clothes, their faces were pale, their whole bodies trembled, and they were miserable, completely devoid of their previous arrogance and compelling bearing, and were escorted to both sides of Ling Gaotai and knelt on the ground.

Walking at the end is Murong Bao, the emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom, unlike other prisoners, he does not have a rope on his body, and he is still dressed as an emperor, wearing a nine-inch crown through the sky, wearing a twelve-chapter gown, and a foot pedal auspicious cloud pattern bare, wearing the emperor's crown uniform to be sentenced was he proposed to Lan Khan last night, at first he mentioned Chan Rang, and gave the emperor's position to Lan Khan, but Lan Khan refused. Then he proposed to wear a crown and be punished, for no other purpose, that is, he wanted to not be able to save the country but to retain the last dignity of being the emperor, he repeatedly told himself that when he was sentenced, he must not be afraid, do not panic, do not tremble, cannot shed tears, cannot beg for mercy, and ascend to heaven calmly and peacefully. Unexpectedly, Lan Khan really agreed to his request, sent a sacrificial dress, and made a special explanation that he could not tie the rope.

Everyone began to talk again, and some asked, "Why is Murong Bao still wearing the emperor's crown robe?" Isn't he already deposed? "To say that our new emperor is really generous, he even allowed him to wear a crown and be punished!" "Murong Bao is also a decent death." "Murong Bao has committed nine major sins, and heaven is intolerable, so it stands to reason that he should not be given such preferential treatment......

Murong Bao couldn't hear these discussions of the common people, he held his head high, his expression was natural, he strode forward, majestic, without the slightest look of a prisoner and a sad expression, just like the suburbs of heaven and earth in the past, solemn and majestic, sacred and inviolable! A dragoon lieutenant guided him to the case, and everyone knew that this case was actually prepared for Murong Bao, who was about to be executed, and there was another discussion.

Murong Bao sat down cross-legged, and there was no eunuch to wait, so he made his own crown, smoothed the placket of his clothes, and sat upright, without squinting. On the table in front of him were a few plates of snacks and a plate of dates, as well as a pot of wine and a few empty glasses, he glanced at it, picked up a date and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly, as if he was invited to enjoy the coming slaughter carnival.

After waiting for about half an hour, there was a sound of drumming in the distance, the voice was melodious and tactful, hearing this voice, the people of Longcheng, who were accustomed to seeing the emperor out of the patrol style, immediately knew that the new emperor was coming, and sure enough, the mighty team came in one after another, and it took half an hour before all of them were in place. The new Emperor Lan Khan wore the same crown dress as Murong Bao and walked to the shed above and sat down, condescendingly, looking around, from today onwards, the rivers and mountains under his feet and the people on the ground will all belong to Talan Khan.

The dragoon captain arranged around Ling Gaotai immediately beckoned the people on the mountain to kneel down and kowtow, and everyone knelt down obediently and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The people in front stood up after shouting, and the people behind knelt down the mountain and shouted. Lan Khan was on a high place, and saw the crowd kneeling down in batches like undulating mountains, one after another; Long live the sound came wave after wave, like a sea of mountains, laughing, and said to his wife Yi next to him: "Being an emperor is really enjoyable!" ”

Yi said with a smile: "The concubine wishes Your Majesty great blessings and peace in the country!" ”

"Well, that's good!" Lan Khan turned to his eldest son, Lan Mu, and said, "Has the hour come?" ”

Lan Mugong said, "It's coming soon." ”

At this time, twelve executioners with big shoulders and round waists, each holding an eight-inch wide life-chasing knife in their hands, strode to the Ling Gao platform, raised their legs and stretched their waists, and did warm-up exercises before killing. The dragoon suddenly became nervous, worried that someone would take the opportunity to rob the law field, so he picked up the back of his knife and slashed at the crowd that was squeezing forward, and after a ghost crying wolf, the crowd retreated to the outside of the cordon like a low tide, and became honest.
