Brother Hui has now sat on the high chair prepared for him, and the table in front of him is also covered with bright yellow.

Below his desk, there were two more desks on the left and right, where people from the Dali Temple and the Imperial Ancestral Hall sat respectively. The other civil and military officials were standing on both sides of the stage. At a glance, it seemed that almost everyone who could be there had arrived.

Throughout the dynasties until today, countless important officials have been beheaded outside the Meridian Gate, but there are very few royal heirs.

Generally, those who did something wrong were either banished to a distant fiefdom, where they were not allowed to leave without the emperor's summons, or were secretly executed, such as by poisoning someone with wine or making a three-foot long white silk thread.

Zhou Zhian was the first former emperor to be tied up like this and waited on the platform for execution like an ordinary prisoner.

After capturing Zhou Zhian this time, Brother Hui informed the people of Yu Zongtang. He did not even use a negotiating tone and directly informed them of the time and place of Zhou Zhian's execution.

Of course the people in Yuzongtang had no objection, nor did they dare to have any objection.

The enemy who killed his relatives and made him an orphan, if he is caught, of course he will be killed, how can I let him go.

When Brother Hui passed by Zhou Zhian, he just slowed down his pace but did not stop, because he didn't know what to say to him after stopping.

The pain that man brought to Brother Hui is not something that can be healed by scolding him or kicking him a few times.

E

In fact, even if he chopped off his head, Brother Hui still couldn't get rid of the hatred in his heart.

Meow, why haven't mother and father come yet? Brother Hui shifted his attention and didn't look at the enemy kneeling on the stage.

But there was a sudden commotion in the crowd not far away; "Oh no, there is an assassin, protect the emperor." Someone on the minister's side shouted nervously.

However, the young monarch on the stage was still sitting upright, without any panic on his face. The ministers felt that it was a great honor to assist such a monarch.

Look at the man walking on the stage. Although he never begged for mercy, his trembling body betrayed his inner feelings at the moment, which was enough to make people despise him.

After all, he was once the king of a country. Even if he did some evil things, now that he was caught due to bad luck, he at least has some pride.

When everyone noticed the commotion in the crowd, Zhou Zhian's eyes immediately lit up and he struggled to turn around and look at the crowd.

Just tell me, how could Zhou Zhian be killed so easily? God will not let him go! Huh?

Unexpectedly, before he could get excited, the riot had stopped. He saw someone wearing the robes of the Royal Guards dragging a few people, or corpses, towards the city wall. He knocked the people in his hands to the ground and left them alone.

"Zhou Zhian, how was it? Are you excited about the scene just now? Are you thrilled? It's a pity that a few insignificant ants are seeking death without knowing their own limitations." Mu Yingbao walked up to Zhou Zhian and asked with a smile.

"If you ask me, you shouldn't be executed today. You should be stripped naked and hung on a pole on the city wall. Then your shrimp soldiers and crab generals will come to rescue you. We will catch one if they come, and kill a pair if they come. I guess we will catch them all in a few days." Mu Yingbao said again with regret.

Xue Wenyu stood beside her and let her bully his former master.

"Xue Wenyu, you are a rare talent, but why do you fall for a woman like this? She will ruin you, your future, and everything you have. A dying man speaks well." Zhou Zhian saw that his people had failed and had no hope of survival. He was tied up and could not get up to kick this woman. He watched her laughing and teasing him, and he hated her with gnashing teeth.

I have tried to sow discord between him and his wife before and failed, but I still can't help but give it a try.

The Dali Temple tied him up very tightly, and it would be useless even if they released him. He hadn't eaten for a whole day and night, and he wasn't even given a sip of water. How could he have the strength to fight?

Just opening my mouth to say a few words, my dry and hoarse throat feels hot.

Hearing this, Xue Wenyu simply lowered his head and glanced at the passerby; "You should worry about yourself and how many levels of hell you will go to after you die."

After saying that, he looked at his wife again. The more he looked, the more beautiful she became.

She held her waist with one hand and pointed at Zhou Zhian with the other hand. "Speaking of you, should I say Dian Xiao? You are a man of character. In order to obtain the throne, you killed Hui Ge's family without regard for family affection, and even sacrificed your own mother and a brother.

Look at you, you are such a courageous person, but now you have become like this. Why can't you grit your teeth and show a courage to face death? At least, leave a little good impression on the people.

How dare you imitate a shrew and sow discord? Haha, you have successfully aroused my curiosity. How about this, I will play a bet with you? I will write two pieces of paper, each with one

The two characters are: one is life, the other is death. Then, I will ask you to catch the character, and if you catch the character life, I will go and ask the emperor to spare your life and give you a way out.

But if you catch the word death, then there is nothing you can do. Even God can't stand it anymore and won't allow you to continue living.

How about it? Are you interested?" Although Zhou Zhian was confused at the moment, she listened to what he said. Her eyes lit up and then dimmed again in an instant. "Want to tease me again? Do you really think I'm as stupid as Xue Wenyu and will be fooled? Humph!"

Xue Wenyu, who was standing next to him, also heard it clearly. He wanted to speak up to stop him, but then he thought about his wife's clear-cut nature of love and hate. How could she possibly leave this guy alive?

So he didn't say anything, wanting to see how his wife would continue to tease him.

Xue Wenyu understood his wife's temperament, but among the ministers standing on both sides of Brother Hui, were there any who did not understand her very well?

Someone immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it is inappropriate for a First Rank Lady to appear at this occasion."

"Yes, if that's the case, please ask Madam Yipin to come and take a seat."

Two ministers stood up one after another, and Mu Yingbao and Xue Wenyu also looked over.

Both of them were newly selected by Brother Hui in the winter examination. One was a fourth-rank military officer, and the other was a third-rank inspector. Both were in their early thirties.

After they finished speaking, they didn't dare to look at the couple, but clasped their fists, bowed their heads and continued to look at Brother Hui.

Xue Wenyu looked at the two of them, wondering how he was going to settle this account with them.

OK. , towards Brother Hui.

Xue Wenyu looked at the two of them, wondering how he would settle the account with them in the future.

Mu Yingbao, however, was not annoyed, but laughed disapprovingly. "You can still laugh? It's all thanks to you that they have the opportunity to serve as officials in the court, and yet they dare to do this to you openly." Xue Wenyu said to the person beside him in a low voice with great worry.

I'm not worried that someone dislikes my wife, but I'm worried about why she isn't annoyed or angry at all.

The other civil and military officials who didn't hear what happened asked those around them. After finding out, they all pricked up their ears, waiting for the emperor's response.
