"Is Colter, the Governor of the Holy City, here?" Cohen's eyes swept among the officials.

"In. Colt hurriedly stood up: "Please command." ”

"In five days, I will execute the rebel leader Lu Man, right on the altar of the Holy Capital, you prepare. Cohen laughed and said, "At his own request, he's going to die laughing." I would like to invite the inhabitants of the Holy Capital and the representatives of the military from all countries to see it. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Were the other rebel prisoners executed at the same time?"

"Together, together. Cohen nodded, "There's no need to waste too much time on these filthy scumbags. ”

"Your Majesty, the so-called laughing death is a special method of execution, which is not suitable for civilians to watch. The dean stood up against it: "The people will be dissatisfied with us when they see Lu Man having such a comfortable way of dying." ”

"Why?" Cohen scratched his head.

"Because of that...... It's to give Lu Man a few women...... Let them take the poison together......"

"No, although they all die laughing, my method is special. Cohen smiled: "Colter, you can prepare three hundred sheep and starve them for three days." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"So that's it for today's meeting, guys. You've just arrived in the Holy Capital, and the official residence has just been arranged, so you need some time to settle down with your family, so go back and clean up! ”

"Thank you for your concern, and say goodbye to Your Majesty. ”

Five days later, the Grand Altar of the Holy Capital was opened to the public on time.

The inhabitants of the Holy Capital had been informed of the execution of Lu Man, even hundreds of miles away. They also sent representatives to the Holy Capital to see it. Early in the morning. The influx of people put the altar around the tightness.

Fortunately, Colter's preparation was relatively adequate. The inhabitants also obeyed the control of the guards when they entered the altar, and those in the front row sat on the spot, and those in the back could stand, leaving a passage between every ten rows.

The altar was topped by a curtain in a small circle, and a circle of seats was placed outside, which was reserved for the delegates of various countries. In the war against the rebels, the nations or noble families were represented in both armies.

Soon after the sun had risen, the chief judge who oversaw the execution arrived at the altar. This was followed by representatives of the parties. They sat down one by one under the watchful eyes of the inhabitants of all the Holy City. However, the deputies were somewhat puzzled by this arrangement, and the punishment called "dying with laughter" was indeed inappropriate for the public to watch.

For any empire, the death penalty was rarely used on nobles under normal circumstances, and nobles were executed only for extremely severe crimes. Even if it is a death sentence, because of their status, the nobles will not be physically tortured, they will all walk the last step of their lives with a smile on their faces.

It is a tradition, generally in a secluded place. Mix the slow-onset poison in fine wine and give it to a few beautiful women. The magician unleashes the magic of the illusion, making the nobles forget where they are, and then picking up the wine to solve themselves.

A large bed in the curtain was eye-catching, and it was for Luman, but what were the hundreds of sheep under the altar for?

On the side of the altar, in a place where the crowd was not crowded, there was a carriage under heavy protection, the curtain of the carriage was lowered, and the people outside could not see who was inside, and even the ordinary officials did not know who was inside.

A Guards officer ran to the carriage and knocked on the door.

"Told the Superintendent of the Interior, the Justice said that the execution would begin soon. ”

"Got it, step down. "Firin. Princess Rhona's voice rang out.

In the carriage, in addition to the four interior overseers, there was also a woman, and that was Bernie. Princess Ebbinghaus.

She sneaked out of the palace in the middle of the war to see her enemy die - in fact, she only found the head of the intelligence system left in Kinshasa by the Al Qaeda family, and last time she held the dagger around her neck to keep the enemy from approaching, but this time, she put the dagger around her neck to blackmail someone to take her away.

As for Kinshasa's subsequent panic, she couldn't care so much. Seeing Lu Man executed was more important to her than anything else...... At this moment, the nervous princess was holding Firin's hand tightly.

On the main road, the convoy escorting Lu Man and his henchmen was slowly moving towards the altar. Seeing Lu Man on the first car, the people were indignant!

Countless fists were waving in the crowd, and the roars of "Kill him!", "Ten thousand corpses!" and so on came and went, and the human wall of several rows of guards was washed crookedly, and it took a lot of words for the officers to calm the restless crowd a little. Soon, more voices were heard with crying.

"You devil, give back my daughter!"

"You pay my mother to ......"

Countless rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, and pebbles flew towards the carriage where Lu Man was, venting the people's resentment against Lu Man...... In the end, the soldiers had to shield the carriage in case someone fished in the water and killed Lu Man in advance.

Finally they came to the altar, and the soldiers lifted a group of prisoners down from the wagon and made them kneel in a row under the altar. Nominally, it was for the people to confirm, but in fact, it was for Her Royal Highness the princess in the carriage next to her to see it clearly.

In the face of the angry shouts of the people, the expression on Lu Man's face was numb. His head was covered with crumbs and egg yolks, and he let the soldiers carry him around, without any intention of resisting, and he had no objection to his current situation.

"Sister, is this Luman?" saw the enemy, Bernie. Princess Ebbinghaus's hands trembled.

"Yes, he is Luman. Fei Lin took out a handkerchief and lovingly wiped the tears from the corners of the eyes of Her Royal Highness the Princess: "He is about to surrender." ”

"But why can't you just cut off your head?" said Her Royal Highness the princess indignantly, "Why should such a bad man let him die laughing? ”

"When it comes to hate, no one hates him more than his husband. "Sitting across from Diel. Merlin persuaded softly: "My princess, you can see how our husband punishes him." ”

"Sister Diel. Princess Bernie blinked her eyes in confusion: "Did His Majesty Cohen tell you about the execution of Luman?"

"It's been so busy lately, and there's so much going on in an empire! we haven't had time to see each other a few times. "Diere. Merlin shook his head: "It's Cohen's character, though. Do you think he can spare Luman? Luman will die a terrible death......"

At this time. The crowd outside burst into loud cheers. Because Cohen in a royal dress. Al Kaida was riding a black war horse, surrounded by guards, galloping from the avenue at the other end.

"Long live the Emperor!"

Loud cheers poured over the capital, and after a series of pro-citizen policies were announced, the public's support for Cohen increased day by day, and at this time, they did not skimp on their enthusiasm at all.

Listening to the thunderous cheers in his ears, Cohen was a little annoyed in his heart, he hated this person who had taken away his status as a friend. But he also knew that the hearts of the people were fragile and sensitive, and that the people wanted to see the emperor respond to their support at this moment...... So, Cohen had to force a smile and stretch out his hand with a small wave.

After finally dismounting, Cohen walked past the prisoner in a few steps, saw the miserable appearance of Luman, ordered someone to bring water to wash his face, and then walked up the steps next to the carriage to the altar.

"It's so strange to know that my sisters don't even look at me here. Princess Bernie commented on Cohen's behavior.

"You didn't pay attention, the husband has already waved to us. Winsley whispered, "It's the kind of gesture that only a few of us can understand." ”

"Ahh

The four interior superintendents blushed and did not answer. In the end, Filine finally said a "general greeting" and passed it perfunctorily.

Cohen walked up to the altar and the delegates of various countries came to salute. Everyone said innocuous polite words. After a while, the sound transmission magic was arranged, and an officer came over to ask His Majesty Cohen to speak.

"His Majesty the Emperor speaks—be quiet!" the mighty officer shouted and immediately withdrew from the transmission area. Up and down the altar, there was silence.

With a stern look on his face, he slowly walked to the fence of the altar with his hands behind his back. In the sun, his black hair is particularly conspicuous. Far and near, hundreds of thousands of people followed him from different angles, standing on altar squares, on both sides of the streets, and even on the rooftop walls...... They were looking forward to the Emperor's first speech.

"To me personally, this altar does not find me very affectionate, even though it is well maintained, even though it is the place where you first heard about me. But no one expected that the Emperor's opening words would be like this: "But you, my people, you have made me feel kind—after a period of darkness and darkness, you, the people of the Spya Empire, are gathered here again!

"Long live the Emperor! Long live! Long live!" countless hats were thrown into the sky, and the people bent down to the altar to salute. In the carriage, the Overseer of the Interior is telling Her Royal Highness about the "Holy Capital Altar Incident" that made Cohen famous in the Empire.

His Majesty the Emperor raised his hand, and the people gradually quieted down.

"The rebels are plotting rebellion, the holy capital is in turmoil, you have lost your loved ones, your families are broken, and the cause of this qiē is only for that handful of rebellious selfishness!" Cohen walked slowly by the fence: "Today, we want everyone to understand that no matter who he is, no matter what he does, he must bear the corresponding responsibility and consequences - bring me the rebel Lu Man!"

The soldier under the altar agreed, grabbed Lu Man and rushed to the altar, the long staircase did not take much time.

"He, it's Lu Man, the rebel boss!" Cohen pointed to Lu Man behind him: "As for the crimes he committed, I don't think there is any need to say more, I just want everyone to remember one thing, all the enemies of the empire, we will never let go!"

"Never let go! Never let go!" the people once again erupted into a loud voice.

His Majesty Cohen walked back to his seat amid cheers, and the young justice walked up with a text in his hand.

"The leader of the rebel army, Lu Man, an official sent by His Royal Highness of the Original Gods, has won the trust of the royal family, and the official is the left minister of the empire, but this person is a wolf-hearted, gathers rebels to cause chaos, and is the culprit of the civil war in the empire, committing heinous crimes!" Jack's face was majestic, and his usual frivolous appearance was not traced: "After the deliberation of the Minister of the Interior of the Empire, and the approval of His Majesty the Emperor, it is now decided to execute Lu Man and his subordinates!"

"Lu Man will complete the death penalty on the altar, and the rest will be tortured under the altar. Jack closed his hand in Chinese jiàn and shouted, "Verify the identity of Lu Man and his men." All of them will be put on the execution table!"

"Kill them!" the crowd shouted again. Many people's voices have become hoarse. These people looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally they looked forward to this day.

For the last time, Luman was pushed to his knees in front of Cohen.

Cohen looked at him, ten days of milk baths had made Lu Man's already delicate skin even more delicate, but he knew that he was not far from death, Lu Man's spirit was a little decadent. Looking at the sinner in front of him, Cohen wanted to have a few words, but he was not in the mood at all.

"So far. Is there anything else you have to say?" Cohen asked softly.

"Let go, let go of my daughter...... Please......"

"I can't think of any reason to let her go, especially on this altar. Cohen shook his head: "No one will let go of a vicious woman." ”

"I—I've told you everything I know...... And it didn't ...... A false word...... "Lu Man shed old tears: "Please, let her ......"

"Look at my mood!" Cohen smiled, "She's got half a chance." ”

"If you will promise before the messengers that you will spare my daughter, I will tell you one of the most important things. A smug smile escaped from the corner of Lu Man's mouth: "I...... I've been in the temple for years, and I know the inside story and there are many hidden events. I am willing to say all this, and it will be very good for your future reign. ”

"Are you saying that you know these things, but you don't tell me?" Cohen was not angry. His face was as usual: "Then, I can sue you." Your daughter's fate will be tragic. ”

"Cohen. Kaida, although you and I are enemies of each other, I have always thought you are a smart person. Knowing that this was the last chance, in order to save his daughter, Lu Man could be said to have spared no effort: "Yes, you won me, you are already the emperor of Spia, but how are you going to rule this empire? How do you control these people? I know, you have not thought about this at all...... It's a lot harder than beating me!"

"Really, do you think I'm going to say yes?" Cohen understood that Luman had chosen this moment to reveal the inside story in order to catch himself off guard and agree to his terms.

"You can trust me on this matter, and if what I say is not true, you can punish my daughter at any time. Lu Man felt that his conditions could make Cohen tempted: "I have been planning for so many years, and I am naturally prepared for everything, and I am willing to leave this qiē to you...... Please let her go, she is still young and not sensible at all, and she will never cause trouble for your rule in the future. ”

"I refuse. Cohen shook his head slightly: "You just wait to take your daughter and your inside information to die." ”

"You! You must know that these are things that are greatly beneficial to the country!" I don't know if I am worried about my daughter's life, or if the information I am about to hand over is despised by Cohen, anyway, Lu Man is excited: "Even if you are the king of a country, you can't ignore these things! These things will make you famous on the continent and prosperous for the country!"

"I'm already famous on the mainland. Cohen smiled faintly: "There's me Cohen." For a day in Sibia, if you don't rely on your so-called insider, state affairs will naturally prosper. ”

"And ...... And the Temple! With this news from me, the Temple will not dare to oppose you again......" Lu Man smiled: "Can you despise them? Even if the Temple moves its little finger, you will be extremely uncomfortable." ”

"In fact, I've been despising them and will continue to belittle. ”

"Hahaha...... If you ignore the people's hearts and despise the temple, nothing good will come to you!" Knowing that Cohen could not agree to his terms, Lu Man laughed wildly: "Stupid, stupid! I'm waiting to see what happens to you!"

"Do you think you still have a chance to see? What is your so-called statecraft calculation?" Cohen grabbed Lu Man by the hair and dragged him off the ground: "Look at these people below, they are waiting to see what happens to you, what is the inside story? What is the secret incident? Fuck it, Young Master Ben is going to beat it all up! Tell me the conditions? Don't be afraid to sue you, Young Master Ben will settle this account with everyone! I will repay all those who make me uncomfortable a hundred times!"

"You, you...... How dare you talk like that...... You can't defeat them......" Lu Man looked at Cohen in horror, and finally understood what Cohen meant: "You...... You're the real rebel!"

"You're right. Cohen let go of Luman, laughed and gestured, and the two soldiers dragged Luman into the curtain. Throw him on the bed. Tied up with strips of cloth.

At that time, a representative asked: "Your Majesty." You don't have to tie up when you die laughing, right?"

"That's my method, you see. Cohen replied slowly, "As an emperor, of course I will fulfill my promises. ”

A soldier took off Lu Man's shoes, leaving his feet bare, then took a bucket of translucent rubber and applied it. Someone brought a few sheep on the side, and the delegates looked at them suspiciously, not understanding why.

"Honey, is it honey?" a representative smelled.

Lu Man was tied up to death, and the magician carefully released the little magic. Let Luman's teeth not be closed, lest he bite his tongue and commit suicide - the delegates saw this, and knew in their hearts that what awaited Ruman was torture, because magicians would only use such means until the extremely painful penal law was used.

Lu Man also understood, and his body began to struggle, but this was too late, and the soldier had already torn off several parts of his body and smeared honey on his skin.

The sheep were led to Luman, and the sheep, which had been hungry for several days, smelled the honey. They all stuck out their tongues to lick their food, and the rough, wet sheep's tongues rubbed back and forth against the delicate skin—and Lu Man immediately began to laugh wildly! His body struggled. There was a soft thud from the cloth band, and if it hadn't been tied tightly, he would have jumped up a long time ago.

Only then did the people under the altar react, it turned out that there was more than one way to die with laughter, this was the real way to die with laughter! For a while, people's eyebrows fluttered, and they also learned the means of the emperor's majesty from the side.

Lu Man's laughter continued, and the faces of the delegates turned white, but when they saw Cohen's cold face, no one dared to step forward to intercede.

It wasn't long before Lu Man's laughter began to go out of tune, from breathless to breathless, and his tone began to twitch, but the sheep's tongue was so powerful that he couldn't even spare time to curse.

Cohen got bored of hearing this, and stood up to leave, and when he glanced at it for the last time, Luman's body was shaking violently.

Under the altar, Lu Man's men were not treated so well, they were all naked and tied to wooden stakes, and the experts of the Judge Advocate General's Office were preparing knives to cut them with a thousand knives. The people standing nearby couldn't wait, shouting for revenge and waving their fists in excitement.

Cohen looked left and right, knocked on the door of the carriage, and sat inside. As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw that the faces of several ladies were a little pale.

"What's wrong?"

"It was a terrible sound that tickled to the bones. Kelly showed a disgusted expression on her face: "Husband, let's go back to the palace!"

"He still has to laugh for a day or two before he dies, so I specially arranged for someone to bless him with vitality and let him rest every once in a while. Cohen said lightly, but seeing the paler faces of several ladies, he quickly changed the subject: "I said princess, do you want to go back too?"

Princess Bernie couldn't bear it anymore, and nodded again and again.

"Alright, let's go back!" and leave him here laughing slowly. Cohen opened the door and gave a few orders, and the royal guards escorted the carriage away.

Under the altar, the first cut was officially fired, and the people were jubilant.

Cohen, who was in the carriage, looked at the people outside the window with an indifferent expression, which made several ladies a little strange. Winsley asked, and Cohen only said that he was a little tired these days.

In fact, Cohen was thinking about something else.

If the war had turned out to be a defeat and he had been executed here today, what would the people have like? If the Luman faction had benefited, they would have cheered the end of the war as they do now, right?

For these people, justice is not the most important thing, the most important thing is to have food, clothing, and play...... They are afraid of only one thing, power, absolute power!

The same is true of theocracy, so is the imperial power, so is the military power, and nothing is exceptional......

Unbeknownst to the agitated public, it was their eager reaction to the execution that made waves in the hearts of His Majesty the Emperor, and this incident had a great influence on the future governance strategy of the empire. At the same time, His Majesty Cohen also abandoned some of his previous ideas that were not realistic, and was determined to formulate the most suitable laws and authorities for the people.

What kind of people there are, what kind of laws govern them. Thinking of this, Cohen's face returned to a smile.

"Princess, your father, I have sent an envoy to explain this matter, so you don't have to worry. Cohen looked at Princess Bernie who was snuggled in Felin's arms: "In addition, you can also be the guest of honor at my enthronement ceremony, and stay in the Holy Capital for another two months, what do you think?"

"That's the best, and I'd like to spend a few more days here with my sisters. Princess Bernie reluctantly sat up straight: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

"No thanks. Cohen added, "I have an idea, would you like to hear it?"

"Your Majesty, please speak. ”

"That's right, you know I only have two older brothers, and my parents don't have daughters. Cohen smiled and said, "If I could, I would like to be your brother...... In other words, you will have the status of a princess of the Sibia Empire, and it will be more convenient for you to move around each other, and if you want to relax, you can come directly, and the doors of the palace will always be open to you. ”

"This ......" was a little suddenness to Princess Bernie: "I'm fine, but I don't know if my father will agree." ”

"Then we will send an envoy to your father at once, and he will bring with him a letter written by my father himself, and a gift sufficient to show our sincerity. Cohen smiled and said, "I think, even if it is only for the sake of harmony between the two empires, your father will agree." ”

"If my father agrees, of course I will have no objection. Princess Bernie also smiled and replied, "In that case, I can not call you Majesty, I also like to be with my sisters." ”

Of the people in the carriage, only Felin knew that Cohen's motives were impure, but as Cohen's wife, she naturally wouldn't turn her arms out.

"Look at you, I haven't slept well in the past two days. Felin stroked Princess Bernie's cheek and said with pity, "I'll have a good rest when I go back, can my sister cook for you?" ”

"I don't have that good cooking skills. Winsley was embarrassed: "Look at what you said." ”

"It's okay anyway, as long as everyone is happy. Cohen looked at the ladies in front of him: "Everyone, the past is over today, take today as a starting point, and everyone should be ready to meet the challenges of the future." ”

Before Felin's answers, Princess Bernie raised her hand and said, "Okay, little spy princess, I will write this sentence of Brother Cohen in a secret letter and present it to my father." ”

The laughter in the carriage spread outside, making the corners of the white shadow walking by the carriage also have a smile on the corner of their mouths. (To be continued......)
