Chapter 357: Arousing the wrath of the crowd
Death table.
At this time, the audience was already full of people, and the news that King Zhao wanted to execute the queen had already spread.
The purpose is to let Zhao Han appear, and the queen is just a bait, King Zhao may not kill the queen, on the death table, King Zhao looked at the queen so haggard, and he was very anxious.
He didn't want the queen to endure this!
is even more worried that the queen will not be able to think about it.
Zhao Han already knew about such a breaking news three days ago, so he would inevitably come to the execution table to save people.
Now he has settled the child in an ordinary family, this child is Zhao Lixiang's weakness, and at the critical moment, he can threaten Zhao Lixiang with the child.
Even if Zhao Lixiang committed suicide in exchange for the child's life.
Zhao Lixiang also had no choice.
Zhao Han came to the execution table and did not directly expose his identity, because at this time, he knew that if he appeared in front of King Zhao, those people who were secretly pregnant with ghosts, such as Zhao Heng, would definitely make Zhao Han passive for a while.
Therefore, Zhao Han decided to wait for the opportunity!
Take a look first, and then make a move when it's time to make a move, so that you won't fall into King Zhao's trap and be controlled by King Zhao for no apparent reason.
At this time, Zhao Han hid all his face, lowered his head, wore a hat, and still had a murderous aura. Those who saw Zhao Han's appearance did not dare to approach Zhao Han at all.
No one knows if a dress like Zhao Han is an assassin who can kill with a sword without blinking an eye.
I only heard it, and King Zhao shouted: "The crown prince Zhao Han has betrayed the Zhao country, such a rebel son, now he is afraid of crime and evasion, the queen is the queen of the prince, so here, in the name of King Zhao, I execute the queen." ”
As soon as the words fell, the audience began to be lively.
"The queen is not guilty, why did she kill the queen? The queen is not guilty! ”
The crowd began to stir, and many people shouted loudly.
But Zhao Han didn't jump like thunder directly, on the contrary, Zhao Han was very calm, just raised his head slightly, and let his eyes follow the edge of the hat and look at the stage.
Soon, Zhao Han withdrew his gaze, because at this time, he found that it seemed that someone had noticed him.
Bury your face deep under the hat again.
King Zhao's face became gloomy, he glanced coldly at the crowd in the audience, and then said:
"The crown prince Zhao Han has betrayed Zhao Guo, such a rebel, and now he is afraid of crime and escapes.
The queen is the crown prince's mother, and although she did not directly participate in the prince's betrayal, she, as a mother, cannot escape the blame. Therefore, in the name of King Zhao, I execute the queen. ”
King Zhao's tone was firm and cold, and he had clearly made up his mind.
The crowd began to stir, some began to cry, others began to shout angrily.
King Zhao's fingers tapped lightly on the hilt of his sword, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Suddenly, a man rushed out of the crowd and shouted, "Wait! King Zhao, you can't do this! ”
King Zhao's eyes narrowed, and he saw clearly that the person was Meng Yi.
He used to make great achievements on the battlefield, but at the same time he was a very arrogant man.
King Zhao asked coldly, "General Meng, what do you want to do?" ”
Meng Yi said without fear: "King Zhao, you can't execute the queen. The queen is innocent, she has not committed any crimes.
If you want to execute the crown prince, that is your power as the king of Zhao, but you cannot sacrifice the life of the queen. If the queen died, weren't you afraid of causing public wrath? ”
Obviously, Meng Yi was threatening King Zhao.
King Zhao's face became even more gloomy.
He said coldly, "General Meng, are you rebelling against my power as the King of Zhao?" ”
Meng Yi replied without fear: "Yes, I am rebelling against your power as the king of Zhao, I think your decision is wrong, the empress is innocent, and she should not pay with her life for the prince's betrayal." ”
King Zhao's brows tightened, and he was silent for a moment.
Then, suddenly, he shouted: "Okay! Since you want to intercede for the Empress, I will send you to a desolate place on the edge, and you will not be able to return to the Imperial City for the rest of your life. ”
Hearing this, Meng Yi was slightly stunned!
He looked at the queen, and the person who was beside the queen at this time was Zhao Ji.
To say that Meng Yi wants to save people, the person he wants to save is Zhao Ji, not the queen, if Zhao Ji dies, for Meng Yi, it is the loss of a close friend.
However, Meng Yi also knew that he had no reason to stop King Zhao from killing Zhao Ji.
If it were to tell the fact that Zhao Ji did not make trouble in Yan, presumably King Zhao would be suspicious that Meng Yi and Zhao Ji were already in the same group.
This is what King Zhao fears the most.
If he knew that Meng Yi and Zhao Ji were in the same group, then, no matter what means were used, King Zhao would kill Meng Yi, and this was not the first time Meng Yi threatened King Zhao.
In King Zhao's heart, he had already seen Meng Yi very unhappy!
"King Zhao, I didn't mean to threaten you, but now in front of the people of Zhao, if you execute the queen, you will definitely lose the support of the people, which is very unfavorable to King Zhao." Meng Yi bowed slightly and explained.
Under the death penalty stage, it has become a mess, and many people are pleading for the queen.
"You ......" King Zhao was speechless when he heard this.
Meng Yi was right, if the queen was executed at this time, he would inevitably lose the support of the people and adversely affect him, the king of Zhao.
"Please Your Majesty King Zhao, don't execute the queen mother!"
"The queen mother is wronged, and I hope that His Majesty King Zhao will be clear!"
"That's right, the queen mother has done a lot of good things for the people of Zhao over the years, and she can't be killed for trumped-up charges!"
Seeing that King Zhao and Meng Yi seemed to be discussing something, the people in the audience immediately pleaded for the queen as if they were frying a pot.
Many of them were people who had received the favor of the queen before, and they naturally did not want to see the queen executed at this moment.
"Good! What a wise monarch! ”
At this time, Zhao Heng laughed loudly on the stage: "Since the people are all interceding for the queen, it is inconvenient to say anything, so please let King Zhao be the master." ”
As he spoke, he arched his hand to King Zhao and turned to leave the execution table.
King Zhao's face changed several times, and finally he breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly: "The queen mother is not guilty, but it is impossible to release her immediately!" ”
Then, King Zhao said ruthlessly: "It's noon, the knife and axe hands, start the execution immediately, and immediately kill the queen, the four princes Zhao Ji!" ”
The noon bell echoed in the palace, it was the call of death, and the corners of King Zhao's mouth raised a fierce smile, the fate of the queen and the fourth prince Zhao Ji was already doomed.
"Yes!"
The axemen came out, their gazes cold and cruel, their swords glittering bloodthirsty in the sunlight.
The execution began, and the queen and Zhao Ji were taken to the center of the execution ground.
The queen looked at those axemen, her eyes were full of determination and determination, while Zhao Ji was clenched into fists, his eyes were full of fear and unwillingness.
At this moment, Qiu'er broke through the blockade of the guards and came to the center of the execution ground.
Her eyes gleamed with determination, and blood dripped from the tip of her clenched sword.
"King Zhao, are you really going to kill the queen and the four princes?"
Qiu'er's voice was full of anger and sadness.
When King Zhao saw Qiu'er appear, he was stunned at first!
Then he sneered: "Who are you who dare to break into the execution ground, do you want to save them?" You can't save them. ”
"I can't watch you kill innocents."
Qiu'er's voice was firm and decisive.
Before the words fell, Qiu'er had already stepped forward quickly, stabbing the two axe men with a sword.
Her swordsmanship is like the wind, like electricity, the sword is deadly, and the move kills.
The two axemen were powerless under Qiu'er's attack, and soon fell to the ground.
King Zhao was stunned by Qiu'er's actions, he looked at the sword and axe hand on the ground, and then at the sword in Qiu'er's hand, and a wave of fear surged in his heart.
He realized that he might have underestimated Qiu'er's strength and courage.
Qiu'er walked towards King Zhao with her sword in her hand, her eyes full of challenge and threat.
King Zhao couldn't help but take a step back, the fear in his heart spreading like wildfire.
At that moment, King Zhao made a decision.
He raised his head and looked at Qiu'er, his eyes shining with determination.
"It's past noon, and you have killed the axeman, and now you will die!"
King Zhao's voice echoed in the air. His decision left the entire execution table in silence.
Qiu'er smiled coldly!
He said ruthlessly: "My identity, if King Zhao does it to me, it must be very unfavorable to you!" ”
