With that said, she walked up to Taifu Han, held up the jade pendant and said: "This jade pendant was given to me by the emperor. I am standing here now. Anyone who wants to kill Taifu Han must go past me. In the meantime, if
Anyone who damages this jade pendant will be disrespectful to the emperor, so you should consider it yourself!"
"This..." When the ministers saw the jade pendant, they all looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
This is the emperor's jade pendant. Once it is damaged, you may be beheaded.
Now, none of them dared to take the lead.
When Zhou Chun saw all the ministers shrinking their heads, he couldn't help but cursed in his heart, "These shrinking turtles".
Then, he took out a bright yellow imperial edict from his sleeve and said in a deep voice: "Princess Daring Li, how dare you disturb the execution ground. I have here a beheading edict written by the emperor himself. Even if you hold the emperor's jade pendant,
It’s useless.”
As he spoke, he sternly said to the guards behind him: "The Emperor's decree has been issued. The three clans of Taifu Han will be killed today. Anyone who dares to disturb the execution will be severely punished. Princess Li, I think you are a first offender, so I will not care about you."
, someone, pull Princess Li away!"
"Stop!" Chu Xuanchen immediately shouted coldly. His tall body stepped forward coldly, looked at the imperial decree, and said, "Master Zhou, can you let me see this imperial decree?"
Zhou Chun was stunned, "Why, King Li, don't you still believe in Xiaguan? You don't think that Xiaguan will forge an imperial edict, do you?"
With that said, he handed the imperial edict to Chu Xuanchen, "Here, take a look!"
He didn't believe that Chu Xuanchen dared to tear up this imperial edict in public.
Chu Xuanchen took the imperial edict, glanced at it quickly, and suddenly said sternly: "Bold Zhou Chun, how dare you disobey the emperor's order! Come on, catch Zhou Chun!"
"Yes!" Moli and others immediately stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Chun.
Zhou Chun said in disbelief: "King Li, I was ordered to oversee the execution of Taifu Han, but you dare to arrest me? Do you dare to disobey the emperor's order?"
"You are the one who disobeyed the emperor's order!" Chu Xuanchen said coldly, with blazing anger in his eyes, "This imperial edict clearly states that beheading will be carried out at 3:00 noon today, but you secretly advanced it by half an hour. You openly violated the emperor's order.
If you know the law and break it, you will be punished with an additional penalty! Shouldn't this king arrest you?"
"Also, the time has not come yet, and the execution cannot be carried out yet! The execution will have to wait until I report your early execution to the emperor, and the emperor will convict you!"
Zhou Chunsen stared at Chu Xuanchen coldly and said in a cold voice: "King Li, do you know that the execution is the intention of the emperor? Even if the subordinates oversee the execution in advance, the execution must be carried out today. Do you want to go against the emperor?"
As he said that, he looked at the Xuance troops and said, "Also, you brought so many Xuance troops here and openly disrupted the law field. Do you want to rob the law field?"
Lord Wang also took the opportunity to say: "King Li, in this important place of law, no force is allowed. If you dare to use force to arrest Lord Zhou, you are treason!"
Chu Xuanchen sneered, his voice sounding like it was popping out from between his teeth, "It was you who violated the emperor's order first. I only act in accordance with the law. Who dares to say that I am treason?"
At this time, Zhou Chun suddenly walked towards Chu Xuanchen and lowered his voice: "King Li, I know you want to save Taifu Han. But do you know that Taifu Han goes around blaming and criticizing the emperor every day, and he has become a thorn in the emperor's side and a thorn in his flesh.
The Emperor must get rid of him now, do you want to go against the Emperor?"
Chu Xuanchen's face turned dark. It turned out that the matter was exactly as he suspected. The case was related to Taifu Han's edict to Emperor Hongyuan.
No wonder Emperor Hongyuan decided to kill the entire Han family without even investigating. It turned out that he wanted to get rid of Taifu Han.
And Zhou Chun, Master Wang and others are just pawns for Emperor Hongyuan!
Taifu Han was very close to Zhou Chun, and he also heard Zhou Chun's words.
When he heard this fact, his whole heart dropped to the bottom of his heart.
He thought it was Zhou Chun who wanted to frame him, but he didn't expect that the mastermind behind it was Emperor Hongyuan!
In this case, even if King Li saves him today, they will not escape death.
This will only hurt Prince Li in vain.
If King Li is involved, no one will speak for the people, so he would rather die than save King Li.
Thinking of this, he suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled, and said miserably: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! It turns out that this is your intention, you want this old minister to die!"
After saying that, he looked at Chu Xuanchen and said gratefully: "Prince Li, Princess Li, I'm very grateful to you for speaking out for our Han family and standing up for me. At my age, I can have such an old friend like you.
Die without regrets.”
"I brought this matter upon myself and it has nothing to do with you. I ask you and your wife not to interfere anymore!"
"Taifu Han!" Chu Xuanchen looked at Taifu Han sadly, his hands clenched into fists trembling slightly.
Taifu Han said firmly: "Prince Li, I have already harmed the Han family, and I will never harm you again. You don't have to do anything for me. Even if you forcefully rescue me today, I will not live in vain."
As he spoke, he said firmly: "We are proud and ambitious. We would rather die than surrender to life. My Han family is not afraid of death. We are willing to die today!"
After Taifu Han finished speaking, the eldest son behind him also said angrily: "Yes, none of us in the Han family are afraid of death! Dad, since the emperor is determined to kill us, then we don't want to live an ignoble existence."
"Yes, even if we barely survive now, do you think we can escape? Why don't we go to Huangquan together, so that we can have family with us on the road to Huangquan and not be alone." Taifu Han's second son said calmly.
The eldest daughter-in-law of Han Taifu held the child in her arms and said: "Father-in-law, it is an honor for my daughter-in-law to marry into the Han family and become the daughter-in-law of the Han family. Don't worry, my daughter-in-law and the child will not live in an ignoble way."
Taifu Han's pregnant second daughter-in-law also said with grief and anger: "Some people are greedy for life and fear death, some are unjust for profit; some are willing to sacrifice themselves for charity, and some are willing to sacrifice their lives for justice. Father-in-law, I admire your integrity in asking for life for the people, and I admire you for fighting to the death to remonstrate for the people, and would rather die than surrender."
Courage. We, the Han family, are strong and strong. We don’t want to join in others’ misdeeds. We are not afraid of death. We are willing to live and die together with you.”
As he said this, Taifu Han's sons and daughters-in-law all knelt down solemnly and solemnly. No matter how painful their hearts were, they did not show any signs of weakness.
Seeing this scene, Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue felt very uncomfortable. Their eyes were red and their hearts ached.
The people in the audience were very moved when they heard these words.
They wiped their eyes in discomfort, and in their hearts they hated the cruel and unkind Emperor Hongyuan, and traitorous ministers like Zhou Chun.
When Taifu Han heard what his son and daughter-in-law said, he looked happy.
He looked at the children, with tears in his smile, and said sonorously: "Well, they are worthy of being the descendants of my Han family! I want to save the country, but I am unable to save the country. Since ancient times, no one has died, and his loyalty will be remembered in history. I have never been corrupt.
I have never accepted bribes, never behaved improperly, and have never participated in rebellion. I am willing to die to prove my innocence."
