Volume 1, Chapter 143: The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people.
"Third Lord, save me, I don't want to die!"
The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty screamed in fear when he saw Bai Qi rushing over with a Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand.
He placed all his hopes on the Third Lord, and
at this moment he wanted to hug the Third Lord's thigh. But the Third Lord put away the countless flying needles floating around his body at this moment, and he didn't want to die with Bai Qi!
Moreover, the Third Lord has always believed that
Bai Qi must have a trump card! Otherwise, Bai Qi would not have come to the capital to die.
Bai Qi was also very nervous at this moment, always paying attention to the Third Lord's every move. If the Third Lord suddenly attacked him, he would definitely take measures.
He still has so much experience points and super skill points that he has not used.
Even if he can't kill the Third Lord, it is very simple to get out of here unscathed!
The reason why Bai Qi put on a posture of dying together is to intimidate the Third Lord, so that he dare not exchange his life with his own!
Sure enough, when Bai Qi's Fang Tian Hua Ji chopped on the left arm of the Great Zhou Emperor, the three worshippers just twitched their eyelids, but had no intention of attacking.
The Great Zhou Emperor screamed, and one of his arms was directly cut off.
"Bai Qi! Do you really want to kill the emperor?"
The Great Zhou Emperor gasped in pain, but fortunately there were a lot of spiritual medicines in the palace, and he also carried a lot with him. After taking a sip of spiritual medicine, the blood on his arm stopped immediately.
At this time, his desire to survive was even stronger!
He looked at Yue Shenqiang, Yang Wudi, and the generals hesitantly, "Can you save me quickly? I am the emperor!" After all,
these people around were all ministers, and finally someone spoke up:
"Bai Qi, show mercy! If you do it again, you will really become a regicide!"
"Even if the emperor is wrong, he is still the Great Zhou Emperor!"
At this moment, it was not only the general Cao Changqiu who persuaded.
Even Yang Wudi frowned and reminded: "If you really want to deal with the tyrant, it is better to let him abdicate first!"
"After abdication, it will be a typical example!"
But now the emperor of Dadu is still on the throne. If Bai Qi executes him without authorization, it will not be justified in terms of etiquette and law.
Yang Wudi proposed a plan, which is to force the emperor of Dazhou to abdicate, and after abdication, let the new emperor deal with him.
At this time, the emperor of Dazhou also begged for mercy immediately: "Bai Qi, I am willing to abdicate! As long as you spare my life!"
Save your life first, and find a chance to kill Bai Qi!
He was calculating in his mind.
Besides, after he abdicated, his son would be the emperor. Is he afraid of being killed?
Bai Qi sneered: "If you want to abdicate, can you clear your relationship? You are dreaming! I am going to judge you, the emperor of Dazhou!"
Bai Qi waved the Fang Tian Hua Ji again, directly stabbed the right shoulder of the emperor of Dazhou, and lifted the emperor of Dazhou high.
At this moment, everyone exclaimed in unison, and the civil officials all thought that Bai Qi was really crazy!
Bai Qi stared at the Great Zhou Emperor and roared word by word:
"As the Great Zhou Emperor, you colluded with the Northern Liang State Master for the sake of immortality, framed the loyal and good, and betrayed the Great Zhou. Do you know your crime?"
At this moment, the people were quiet, and they looked at Bai Qi with wide eyes.
"Bai Qi really dared to judge the Great Zhou Emperor!"
"In the past, they only knew that the emperor would judge the ministers, but they had never seen the ministers dare to judge the king!"
The people felt very relieved.
Princess Anyang's beauty flashed a glimmer of brilliance. Bai Qi always did things beyond her expectations. She had never thought about treating her father like this before.
But it's good this way!
Even if Bai Qi really killed the Great Zhou Emperor, it would not affect Bai Qi's own reputation!
It's true that the man I like does things differently.
Anyang secretly praised in his heart.
At this moment, the Great Zhou Emperor was extremely angry, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
Although he was now being picked up by Bai Qi with his Fang Tian Hua Ji, it did not prevent him from screaming and cursing:
"I am the Son of Heaven. What right do you have to judge me? Even if I am guilty, I only need to issue a self-criticism edict!"
"When will it be your turn as a minister? How dare you treat the king like this?" The Emperor
of the Great Zhou Dynasty was dissatisfied. He felt that even if he was guilty, it was not for these lowly people to judge him.
This was his privilege as the Emperor.
At this moment, the weak Yue Shenqiang also opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
After all, in his concept, what Bai Qi was doing now was too subversive to his worldview.
The monarch is the monarch, the minister is the minister, the father is the father, and the son is the son.
This is the concept he has always believed in.
The people also fell silent. The ethical concepts of the feudal dynasty have always been rooted in their hearts. For a while, it was difficult for people to accept Bai Qi's current practices.
The three worshippers on the side also looked at Bai Qi coldly. He wanted to see how Bai Qi could win the hearts of the people and the army after killing the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
As long as Bai Qi is not in the hearts of the people, and no common people or soldiers are willing to be killed by Bai Qi, then if he wants to kill Bai Qi, he can do so at any time.
Bai Qi looked at the Great Zhou Emperor and grinned:
"If I remember correctly, the first sentence of the Great Zhou law is: The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people!
This has been recognized by everyone since the founding of the country.
Why, now it's really your turn, and you dare not recognize it again, the emperor of the Great Zhou?"
With a bang, Bai Qi's words echoed in everyone's ears.
The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people!
This is something that is said every day, and who doesn't know it?
But who has ever implemented it seriously?
There is an insurmountable gap between the nobles and the common people. Now the emphasis is on doctors!
Even the nobles cannot be dealt with at will, let alone the high and mighty Great Zhou Emperor!
But Bai Qi said this, because when the Great Zhou law was established, it was already stated that no matter who breaks the law, they will be treated equally!
The people suddenly became excited. If the Great Zhou law was really used to execute the Great Zhou Emperor this time, who would be able to escape the punishment of the law if the nobles broke the law in the future?
"The Emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people!"
"The Emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people!"
"Punish the Great Zhou Emperor severely and
give justice to the people! Give justice to Marshal Yue and Marshal Yang!" "Those who betrayed the Great Zhou shall be punished by everyone!"
For a moment, the people were excited, raised their fists and roared, their eyes blazing with bright light.
It seemed that as long as the Great Zhou Emperor was executed, they would find the meaning of life.
At this moment, a beautiful woman hidden in the crowd was full of horror in her eyes, "General Bai Qi, every time I see you, you always make my eyes light up!"
This woman was Li Shishi.
Seeing that the people wanted to deal with the Great Zhou Emperor so much, Bai Qi smiled and shouted,
"Where is the Minister of Justice?"
The Minister of Justice in the crowd immediately ran over and bowed to Bai Qi, saying, "I am the Minister of Justice, and I want to see the Grand Marshal!"
Yes, at this moment, Bai Qi was one of the three officials of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. He
was on an equal footing with the Prime Minister and the General, the three giants of the court!
The Minister of Justice was only the chief official of one of the six ministries, so of course he had to salute when he saw Bai Qi.
Bai Qi nodded and asked, "What crime should the Great Zhou Emperor be punished for collaborating with the enemy and framing loyal officials?"
With a gulp!
The Minister of Justice swallowed hard, then looked at the anxious Great Zhou Emperor, and then glanced at the three silent worshippers with the corner of his eye.
He knew that the situation was hopeless, so he immediately bowed to Bai Qi, and said respectfully,
"Your Excellency, according to the laws of the Great Zhou, you should be torn into pieces by five horses!"
