Chapter 41 Execution Day

The next day, the morning sun rose.

On the square in front of the palace of the barbarian king, there was already a sea of people.

Today is the day of the execution of the remnants of the fox clan.

This was decided three days ago.

Although among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, there are many people who have a lot of complaints about this execution, after all, the person who is going to be executed, before that, is still the ninth princess of the country, the Khan's own flesh and blood.

The tiger poison does not eat its children, but the Khan wants to kill his own daughter.

This made many ministers feel uncomfortable.

However, there are also some who support Khan's decision.

They called the Khan's actions a righteous extermination of his relatives.

He spared no effort to praise Jieli as a good king who understood righteousness.

It is uncertain whether Jieli heard these words or not. But it was clear to everyone that as long as it was the Khan's decision, no matter who it was, could not be changed. Even those who have a lot of grievances in their hearts are the same.

The executions took place as scheduled.

In the middle of the huge square, as smooth as new, the executioner stood upright like a knife. The decapitation knife in his hand, under the light of the morning sun, flashed with a cold glow.

Around the square, it was early crowded with the people of the royal capital who came to see the excitement.

Some of them suffered greatly during the Fox Rebellion in the past, some lost their relatives in the rebellion, and some seemed to be ordinary people, but they had inexplicable thoughts.

No matter what their identities were, since they were standing here, they were naturally very happy to see the death of the Ninth Princess.

In front of the people, on each side of the square, there were a hundred elite soldiers. They were under the command of the king and were a formidable force that belonged only to the khan.

Time passed slowly, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the eight kings arrived one after another, and these big people who could only hear from the people in rumors on weekdays appeared one by one today, which made today's execution even more extraordinary.

"I heard that today's execution was presided over by His Majesty the Khan himself. Someone said something like that.

If you heard such a thing at any other time, some people would think that it must be a lie, but at this moment, no one would think so.

The Manchu Dynasty was full of civil and military personnel, but no one dared to sit on the high position of the supervisor and beheader.

What does this mean?

It means that they are not qualified to sit in this position.

If none of them are qualified, then there is only one person in the whole country who is qualified.

Over there is the owner who holds the land.

Khan, the supreme king of the state.

At three o'clock in the morning, the gate of the palace slowly opened, and the huge honor guard slowly walked out of the door. Seeing this scene, everyone in the square held their breath and watched nervously as the team approached.

In the procession, five golden carriages opened one after another, and these carriages were unique in shape, and they were special vehicles for the children of the royal family. It is the car of the only five princesses who are still left.

After the five golden carriages, a guard of honor followed majestically, and behind the procession, a magnificent carriage engraved with two wolf head carvings appeared in the field of vision of everyone in the square.

Everyone was excited.

The carriage was the special car of the king Khan, and only the supreme king and his majesty the khan were qualified to ride the two-headed wolf chariot for the patrol.

This is equivalent to the symbol of Wang Khan.

Everyone in the square had their eyes fixed on the two-headed wolf cart at the moment, and no matter where it went, they didn't let go at all.

Five golden carriages and two-headed wolf chariots passed through the square, and under the eyes of everyone, they came to the north of the square, next to the most prominent supervisor.

The five princesses were the first to get out of the car, and just as their feet were on the ground in the square, everyone knelt down at the same time and spoke, "Meet Her Royal Highness!"

Countless people shouted in unison, like thunder and rage.

The five princesses waved their hands slightly, and everyone got up.

The next moment, everyone's eyes converged on the two-headed wolf cart again.

I saw the five princesses shouting in unison, "Please get out of the car." ”

The voice fell, and on top of the two-headed wolf cart, an ordinary old man, fifty or sixty years old, his eyes were faintly cloudy.

As soon as this person appeared, the audience immediately boiled.

"See His Majesty the Khan!" everyone knelt down and shouted again.

Jieli's expression remained unchanged, looking at the people and officials in the square, they all bowed to him, but waved his hand slightly, "Everyone, don't be polite." ”

"Your Majesty!" another thunderous cry echoed throughout the square.

Jieli was expressionless, and sat on the top of the official position, and the five princesses led by the eldest princess stood on the side of the deputy seat, looking at their father solemnly.

"Today, everyone, we will put a man to death. Jieli looked at everyone and spoke, "This person is the remnant of the blood of Hu Tian, the head of the rebel party of the fox clan in the past. Today, Ben Khan only asked everyone one word, should this person be killed?"

"Kill, kill!"

"You shouldn't kill it......" Suddenly, a discordant voice reached Jieli's ears.

"Who said you shouldn't be killed?" said Celestia.

"It's the old minister. A person stood up from the queue of civil and military ministers, holding his head high, it was Yuan Lin.

"It turned out to be Taigong, why do you think this person shouldn't be killed?" Jieli was still expressionless, looking in the direction where Yuan Lin was.

Yuan Lin said: "Your Majesty, no matter what you say, Princess Langyue is also your own flesh and blood, are you really so hard-hearted, and don't care about the father-daughter relationship between you and the Ninth Princess?

Jieli's face remained unchanged, he looked at Taigong, and said silently, "What Taigong said is too emotional. Ben Khan, is the king of a country, how can he be swayed by the private feelings of his children, although Lang Yue is the daughter of Ben Khan, but she is also the remnant of the fox clan who was condemned to death by Ben Khan in the past, so that even if she is really the daughter of Ben Khan, Ben Khan must kill his relatives in righteousness, so that he can be worthy of the people who handed over the hope of this land to Ben Khan. ”

"Your Majesty Mingjian!" the unanimous voice came from the square again.

"Your Majesty, the Ninth Princess is not guilty, and putting her to death will hinder judicial fairness......" Yuan Lin said again.

But Jieli no longer listened to him, but waved his hand and dragged him down with his own soldiers.

"Your Majesty, it's so unfair...... Yuan Lin was still shouting when he was dragged away.

It wasn't until his figure disappeared from view that the sound gradually dissipated......

Jieli looked at everyone and said, "Okay, the people in the way have left, now, pass on my word and bring people to enter the ...... of Langyue."

After the words fell, a prisoner car drove out of the palace.

Inside the prisoner car, a down-and-out figure was tied up by five flowers.

It was Langyue.

Although not much time has passed, her person is much haggard.

In the past, she was eccentric and a high-ranking ninth princess.

Now she is silent, and she is a death row prisoner that everyone shouts to kill.

Unkempt and smiling, but now full of dirt, it looks more like a beggar begging on the street than a princess of the country.

The prisoner cart slowly entered the square.

The voices of the people shouting "should be killed" grew louder and louder.

Eventually, the prison van stopped.

The people inside, escorted by two guards, came to the center of the square.
