Chapter 958: Suppressing people with imperial power
At this moment, the shape shì is extremely unfavorable to Anne. Anne couldn't show any evidence in her favor at all, the mole she said was speculation, and the story about Wu Lai was so bizarre that many people didn't believe it, thinking she was telling fairy tales.
Anne no longer defended, and she felt that it was futile. Looking at the man sitting in the presiding judge's seat, the more I looked at it, the more disgusting I felt. slandering loyalty and goodness, without a little belly, such an emperor will die sooner or later.
However, Prince Norton retorted: "Whether Anne was captured by the Deran Empire or not, whether she rebelled, as the Judge just said, is just maybe, there is no real evidence. Without evidence, it cannot be used as the basis for a sentence, otherwise, it is not advisable to arrest a person and sentence him as long as he is suspected of rebellion. ”
"As for Anne's defeat, the Tenth Fleet was wiped out, everyone is a soldier, everyone knows that victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, who can guarantee that they will always win and not be defeated? Even the legendary Marshal Brandy was always known as the defeated general before the Battle of Alex. If such an experienced and promising young general who has made great contributions to the Empire and received the Order of the Imperial Warrior was executed just because of his defeat, it would be chilling for all Imperial soldiers. ”
Podo XIII immediately retorted: "Judge Norton, please note that no matter how experienced, promising, or how much she has contributed to the Empire, these are not grounds for total annihilation. This is the first time since the Emperor succeeded to the throne that a main fleet was completely annihilated. We should set an example by killing chickens and monkeys. Maybe Anne was a little wronged and a victim, but everyone is responsible for what he did, isn't she ashamed that she lost the Tenth Fleet and is still alive and well?"
Khan, he is going to sentence others to death, isn't it just a little wronged, it's a great grievance, okay? This guy of Bodo XIII stood and talked without backache in order to cause Anne to die.
In the entire courtroom, only two people, Bodo XIII and Prince Norton, argued, and the others were silent.
Finally, Podo XIII exclaimed: "The presiding judge now pronounces the sentence, and Anne Lane is sentenced to death, to be executed in three months' time. ”
Not only Prince Norton, but the other six bigwigs in the military department all said in unison: "Judge Chief, your announcement of the sentence is not in accordance with the trial procedures. The final verdict will be announced only after we have deliberated together. ”
Bodo XIII snorted angrily: "Hmph, this emperor is the emperor of the empire, the supreme commander of the empire, and he is sentenced to death, do you still have to discuss it with you?"
The seven bigwigs were silent.
Now that Bodo XIII has disregarded the emperor's face, used the emperor's power to suppress them, and broke the rules of the military court, they can't help it, who calls this an empire, and the imperial power is supreme.
"This guy finally showed his ugly face. It is not to convince people with reason, but to oppress people with power, and sooner or later they will reap the consequences. Wu Lai commented.
The few of them were still sitting leisurely in front of the screen, tasting the special snacks of the Bodo Empire while watching the live broadcast of the trial. It's more enjoyable than watching a blockbuster movie.
He Wen said in a disdainful tone: "Empire, the emperor is the biggest, he naturally does whatever he wants, who can restrain him in the Bodo Empire? I didn't expect him to think of this today, he should have done this in the military court a few days ago." ”
Wu Lai smiled: "Hehe, at that time he was not the chief judge, and he was embarrassed to directly use the imperial power to interfere with the outcome of the trial, but this time he grabbed the position of the chief judge, and he could justifiably use the imperial power to oppress people." ”
Han Xue said a little anxiously: "Anne has been sentenced to death, and the seven bigwigs of the military department seem to be intimidated by the imperial power and acquiesce to this, you are still in the mood to laugh." ”
Wu Lai hugged Han Xue in his arms and asked, "Xue'er, how do you say I can save Anne? To save Anne is just a gesture for us, but after we save her, what should we do?"
Wu Lai's words caused everyone to ponder.
Now that Bodo XIII is intent on killing Anne, and will not hesitate to use all means to sentence her to death, do they really want them to kill Bondo XIII? or warn Bodo XIII not to fight Anne's idea, otherwise he will bear the consequences. That's actually a good idea. However, Wu Lai felt that killing Porto XIII or intimidating him would make the game seem to be over, which was too boring. He still wants to watch more plays. After all, it is not easy to come to the Hata Empire once, and I am afraid that I will not come again in the future.
Since you come to play, you have to have fun, and you can't leave regrets, this is Wu Lai's principle.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Wu Lai smiled and said: "Don't think about it too much, take one step at a time, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." ”
At this time, it seemed that Podo XIII had truly regained the feeling of being an emperor.
"MD, I'm the Emperor, I can do whatever I want, that's right!"
He suddenly pointed to Marshal Lucas in the audience and said: "Lucas, in the past few days, in order to save your granddaughter Anne, you have bewitched all the generals, plotted against you, the evidence is conclusive, and the crime is unforgivable, and the presiding judge now sentences you to death, which will be executed in three months." ”
As soon as the words fell, the audience was in an uproar, and the entire military court was more lively than the vegetable market. Everyone didn't expect him to suddenly point the finger at Marshal Lucas, who had already returned to the field.
Everyone was a clear-eyed person, and they already understood that Bodo XIII was going to kill Marshal Lucas's family! In fact, everyone knew for a long time that Podo XIII and Marshal Lucas were not dealing with each other. No, to be precise, Bodo XIII did not like Marshal Lucas. Marshal Lucas shone too brightly, and Bodo XIII naturally felt the pressure.
After all, Marshal Lucas is the god of the imperial army, although he has lived in seclusion for twenty years, but he still enjoys high prestige, if Marshal Lucas is dealt with in this way, will Bodo XIII not be afraid of committing public anger and leading to mutiny?
However, Bodo XIII did not seem to be worried about anything.
He has long been in power, and he has made a lot of preparations over the years. With his current strength, he is actually not worried about mutiny. It's just that, in order to be foolproof, he didn't dare to underestimate the influence of Marshal Lucas too much.
In case Marshal Lucas's influence exceeds his expectations, it will be a big loss.
Counting the number of generals here today, and the number of petitions made the other day, he felt that he might have overestimated the influence of Marshal Lucas.
After all, Lucas has resigned for twenty years, his time has passed, and how many people still remember him?
In fact, Marshal Lucas no longer posed a threat to the imperial power of Bodo XIII, but Bodo XIII thought that the grass should be eradicated and could not leave future troubles, so he was bent on killing Marshal Lucas's family. Otherwise, Anne will really grow into the imperial female military god in the future and become the second Lucas, then it will be too late for him to regret it.
Podo XIII is now in high spirits, he feels that he can deny a qiē, he can say that Marshal Lucas's past exploits are Marshal Lucas's dirty dealings with the Teresan Empire, and he can slander Marshal Lucas as the biggest traitor of the Empire, because he is the Emperor. He can identify the hero of the empire as a traitor, or he can make the traitor an hero of the empire. The people of the empire are actually the ones to be fooled. As long as you grasp the public opinion of the empire, you will control the people of the empire.
Bodo XIII felt that he could turn his hands into clouds and rain on his hands, and the whole empire was under his control. That's why he dared to make the above judgment against Marshal Lucas.
