Chapter two

Five days later, the Holy Capital Altar was opened to the public on time.

Regarding the execution of Lu Man, the residents of the Holy City have already been notified, even hundreds of miles away. They also sent representatives to the Holy City to watch. Early that morning, the influx of people destroyed the surrounding areas around the altar.

Strict.

Fortunately, Corte had made sufficient preparations. After entering the altar, the residents also obeyed the control of the security team. Those in the front row could sit on the spot, and those in the back could stand. There were also passages between every ten rows.

A small circle was formed on the top of the altar with a cloth curtain, and a circle of seats were placed outside, which were reserved for representatives of various countries. During the war with the rebels, representatives of various countries or noble families were stationed in the two armies.

Shortly after the sun rose, the chief judge supervising the execution arrived at the altar. Then came representatives from all parties, who sat down one by one under the gaze of the residents of the Holy City. However, the representatives were somewhat puzzled by this arrangement.

The punishment known as "dying with a smile" is indeed inappropriate for people to watch.

For any empire, the death penalty is rarely used against nobles, and only extremely serious crimes will be executed. Even if it is the death penalty, because of their status, the nobles will not be physically tortured, and they will all meet

Take the last step of your life with a smile.

This is a tradition, usually in a secret place, a slow-acting poison is mixed with fine wine, and then a few beautiful women are given, and the magician releases illusion magic to make the nobles forget where they are.

, after all the nonsense, he picked up some wine to deal with himself.

A large bed among the curtains is eye-catching. It was prepared for Luman, but what are the hundreds of sheep under the altar used for? These sheep have been barking in the fence, which makes people uneasy.

Beside the altar, in a place where the crowd was not crowded, there was a carriage that was heavily protected. The curtains were drooped so that people outside could not see who was inside. Even ordinary officials did not know who was inside.

A Guards officer ran to the carriage and knocked on the door.

"Reporting to the Internal Affairs Supervision, the chief judge said that the execution will begin soon."

"I understand, stand down." Princess Feline Rona's voice came out.

In the carriage, in addition to the four internal affairs supervisors, there was also a woman, Princess Berne Ebbinghaus.

She sneaked out of the palace during the second half of the war against rebellion to see her enemy die - in fact, she just found the head of the intelligence system left in Kinshasa by the Al Qaeda family. Last time she

She put the dagger on her neck to prevent the enemy from getting close, but this time, she put the dagger on her neck to threaten others to take her away.

As for the subsequent panic in Kinshasa, she couldn't care less. Being able to see Luman executed was more important to her than anything else... At this moment, the nervous Princess was holding Feilin's hand tightly.

On the road, the convoy escorting Luman and his closest men was slowly driving towards the altar.

After seeing Luhmann clearly in the first car, the people were furious!

There were countless fists waving in the crowd, "Kill him!", "Shatter him into pieces!" and other roars one after another. The human wall composed of several rows of Guards was rushed crookedly, and the officers spent a lot of time talking.

Only then did the restless crowd calm down a little. After a while, more voices sounded with cries.

"You devil, give me back my daughter!"

"You pay my mother..."

Countless rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, and pebbles flew towards Luman's carriage, venting the people's resentment against Luman... In the end, the soldiers had to use shields to protect the carriage to prevent anyone from fishing in troubled waters and Luman.

Killed in advance.

After finally arriving at the altar, the soldiers lifted a group of prisoners from the carriage and asked them to kneel in a row under the altar. It was nominally for the public to confirm, but in fact it was for Her Royal Highness the Princess on the carriage next to her to take a look.

clear.

Facing the angry shouts of the people, Luman's face looked numb. His head was covered with vegetable scraps and egg yolk, and he allowed the soldiers to carry him around without any intention of resisting, and he had no objection to his current situation.

.

"Sister, is this Lumann?" Princess Berni Ebbinghaus's hands trembled when she saw her enemy.

"Yes, he is Lu Man." Feilin took out a handkerchief and lovingly wiped the tears from the corners of Her Royal Highness the Princess's eyes: "He is about to die."

"But why can't we just behead him?" Her Royal Highness the Princess said angrily: "Why should such a bad guy be allowed to die with a smile? It would be better to hang him."

"When it comes to hate, no one hates him more than my husband." Dill Merlin, who was sitting opposite, persuaded softly: "My little princess, just watch how our husband punishes him."

"Sister Dill." Princess Berni blinked her big eyes in confusion: "Has His Majesty Cohen told you about the execution of Luman?"

"I've been too busy lately. There's a lot going on in an empire! We don't even have time to meet a few times."

Dill Merlin shook his head: "But considering Cohen's character, do you think he can spare Luman lightly? Luman will die miserably..."

At this time, the people outside suddenly burst into loud cheers, because Cohen Keda, dressed in royal attire, was riding a black horse, surrounded by guards, galloping from the avenue at the other end.

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live! Long live!"

Loud cheers surged over the Holy Capital like a tide. After the announcement of a series of policies that benefit the people, the people's support for Cohen is increasing day by day. At this time, they are not stingy with their enthusiasm at all.

Listening to the thunderous cheers in his ears, Cohen felt a little angry. He hated this person who took away his friend's status, but he also knew that the hearts of the people were fragile and sensitive. The people wanted to see the emperor's love for them at this moment.

The support was reciprocated... so Cohen had to force a smile and even stretched out his hand to wave slightly.

After finally getting off his horse, Cohen walked past the prisoner in a few steps. Seeing Ruhmann's miserable state, he ordered someone to bring him water to wash his face, and then walked up the steps next to the carriage to the altar.

"Your Majesty Cohen is so strange! You know that your sisters don't even look at them here." Princess Berni commented on Cohen's behavior.

"You haven't noticed that my husband has already waved to us." Wen Sili said softly, "It's the kind of gesture that only a few of us understand."

"Ah? What did His Majesty Cohen say?" Princess Berni asked strangely.

The four internal affairs supervisors blushed and didn't answer. Finally, Feilin finally said "general greetings" to get over it.

Cohen walked up to the altar, and representatives from various countries came to greet him. Everyone said some innocuous polite words.

After a while, the sound transmission magic was set up, and an officer came over to ask His Majesty Cohen to speak.

"His Majesty the Emperor speaks - be quiet!" After the mighty officer shouted this, he immediately exited the sound transmission area. There was silence in the whole place above and below the altar.

His Majesty Cohen looked serious. With his hands behind his back, he slowly walked to the fence of the altar. Under the sunlight, his black hair was particularly conspicuous. The eyes of hundreds of thousands of people from far and near followed him from different angles.

Figures, they stood on the Altar Square, on both sides of the street, and even on the roof walls... They were looking forward to the emperor's first speech.

"Personally, this altar does not make me feel familiar, even though it is well built, even though it is the place where you first heard about me." But no one expected that the emperor's opening remarks would be like this: "

But you, my people, you make me feel kind - after a period of darkness and lack of light, you, the citizens of the Sbia Empire, have gathered here again! Witness justice with your own eyes, and witness the punishment of sinners with your own eyes.

!”

"Long live the Emperor! Long live! Long live!" Countless hats were thrown into the sky, and the people bowed to the altar and saluted. In the carriage, the Internal Affairs Supervisor was telling Her Royal Highness the "Sacred Altar Incident" that made Cohen famous in the empire.

His Majesty the Emperor raised his hand, and the people gradually became quiet.

"The rebels are plotting rebellion, the Holy City is in chaos, you have lost your loved ones, and your families are broken, and the cause of all this is just the selfish selfishness of a handful of rebellious people!" Cohen walked slowly by the fence: "Today, we are going to let

Everyone understands that no matter who he is or what he has done, he must bear the corresponding responsibilities and consequences - bring me the rebellious Luman!"

The soldier under the altar agreed, grabbed Luman and rushed to the altar. It didn't take long to climb the long stairs.

"He is Luman, the culprit of the rebels!" Cohen pointed at Luman behind him: "As for the crimes he committed, I don't think there is any need to say more. I just want everyone to remember that all enemies of the empire,

We will never let it go!”

"Never let it go! Never let it go!" The people once again burst into loud voices.

His Majesty Cohen walked back to his seat amidst cheers, and the young justice walked up with documents in hand.

"The leader of the rebels, Luman, was an official from the original temple. He gained the trust of the royal family and reached the rank of left prime minister of the empire. However, this man was ruthless and ruthless. He gathered the rebels to cause chaos. He was also the culprit of the civil war in the empire and committed heinous crimes!" Jack said with a look on his face.

Majesty, without any trace of the usual frivolity: "After deliberation by the Imperial Minister of the Interior and approval by His Majesty the Emperor, it is now decided to execute Luman and all his men!"

"Lumann will complete the execution on the altar, and the others will be tortured under the altar." Jack closed the document in his hand and shouted: "Verify the identity of Lumann and his men, and put them all on the execution platform!"

"Kill them!" The people shouted again, and many people's voices were hoarse. These people were looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally they were looking forward to this day.

For the last time, Luhrmann was pushed to kneel down in front of Cohen.

Cohen looked at him. Ten days of milk baths had made Luman's already delicate skin even more delicate. Just knowing that he was not far from death made Luman's spirit a little decadent. Looking at the sinner in front of him, Cohen originally thought

He said a few words for fun, but at this time he was not in the mood at all.

"Now that things have happened, do you have anything else to say?" Cohen asked softly.

"Let, let my daughter go...please..."

"I can't think of any reason to let her go, especially on this altar." Cohen shook his head: "No one would let a woman with a vicious heart go."

"I, I have told you everything I know... without... a lie..." Luman shed tears: "Please, let her go..."

"It depends on my mood!" Cohen showed a smile: "She has half a chance."

"If you are willing to promise in front of all the envoys to let my daughter go, I will tell you the most important thing." A proud smile escaped from the corner of Luman's mouth: "I...I have been in the temple for many years, and I know very well that

There are many inside stories and secret incidents. I am willing to tell them all, which will be of great benefit to your future rule."

"Are you saying that you knew these things but didn't tell me?" Cohen said, calmly and calmly, "Then, I can tell you that your daughter's fate will be tragic."

"Cohen Keda, although you and I are enemies of each other, I always think you are a smart person."

Knowing that this was the last chance, in order to save his daughter, Luman could be said to have spared no effort: "Yes, you defeated me, and you are already the emperor of Sbia, but how are you going to rule this empire?

How do you control these citizens? I know you have never thought about this at all... This is much harder than defeating me!"

"Really? Do you think I will agree?" Cohen understood that Luhmann chose this opportunity to disclose the inside story just to catch himself off guard and agree to his conditions.

"On this issue, you can completely trust me. If what I say is untrue, you can punish my daughter at any time." Luhrmann felt that his conditions could seduce Cohen: "I have been planning for so many years, so naturally I am very interested in everything.

I am willing to leave all this to you if I am prepared... Please let her go, she is still young and not sensible at all, and she will never bring trouble to your rule in the future."

"I refuse." Cohen shook his head slightly: "Just wait and die with your daughter and your inside information."

"You! You have to know that these are things that are of great benefit to the country!" I don't know whether he is worried about his daughter's life or whether the information he is about to hand over is being despised by Cohen. Anyway, Luman is excited: "Even if you are a

The king of the country cannot ignore these things! These things will make you famous on the mainland and make the country prosperous!"

"I have already become famous in the mainland." Cohen smiled faintly: "With me, Cohen Keda, in Sibia for a day, and I don't rely on your so-called inside information, the country's affairs will naturally prosper."

"And... there is also the temple! With this information from me, the temple will not dare to go against you anymore..." Luman chuckled: "Can you despise them? Even if the temple moves its little finger, you will be extremely angry.

Uncomfortable."

"In fact, I have always despised them and will continue to despise them."

"Ha...you ignore the people's support and despise the temple, and you won't end up well!"

Understanding that Cohen could not agree to his conditions, Luhrmann laughed wildly: "Stupid, extremely stupid! I'm waiting to see your end!"

"Do you think you still have a chance to see it? What do you mean by running a country?" Cohen grabbed Luhmann's hair and dragged him off the ground: "Look at these people below, they are waiting to see your fate.

What's the inside story? What's the secret incident? Go to hell, I want to beat them all to pieces! Tell me the terms? I'm not afraid to tell you, I want to settle this account with everyone! I will repay everyone who makes me uncomfortable, a hundredfold.

!”

"You, you, you... how dare you talk like this... you can't defeat them..." Luman looked at Cohen in horror, and finally understood what Cohen meant: "You... you are the real rebel!"

"You're right." Cohen let go of Luman, laughing and making gestures. The two soldiers dragged Luman into the curtain, threw him onto the bed, and tied him up with a cloth strip.

At that time, a representative asked: "Your Majesty, you don't need to be tied up if you are smiling?"

"This is my method, just look at it." Cohen replied slowly: "As an emperor, of course I will fulfill my promise."

A soldier took off Luman's shoes, leaving his feet bare, and then took a bucket of translucent gel and smeared it on. Someone brought a few sheep to the side. Representatives from various countries looked at it in confusion, not understanding what was going on.

Why.

"Honey? Is it honey?" one representative smelled.

Luman was tied tightly, and the magician carefully released a small magic to prevent Luman's teeth from closing, lest he bite his tongue and commit suicide. When the representatives saw this, they already knew in their hearts what was waiting for Luman.

Torture, because magicians will only use such methods before using extremely painful criminal methods.

Luman also understood and his body began to struggle, but it was already too late. The soldiers had already torn off the clothes from several parts of his body and applied honey to the skin.

The sheep were led to Luman. The sheep, which had been hungry for several days, smelled the smell of honey and stretched out their tongues to lick it. The rough, wet tongues rubbed back and forth on the delicate skin - Luman immediately started laughing wildly.

! His body was struggling hard, and the cloth belt made a soft sound. If it hadn't been tied tightly, he would have jumped up long ago.

Only then did the people under the altar realize that there was more than one way to die laughing, this was truly laughing to death! For a moment, people were beaming, and they also learned from the side of His Majesty the Emperor's methods.

Luhrmann's laughter continued, and the faces of representatives from various countries turned pale, but when they saw Cohen's cold face, no one dared to step forward to intercede.

Not long after, Luman's laughter began to go out of tune, from full to breathless, and his voice began to twitch, but the tongue was so powerful that he couldn't even take the time to curse.

Cohen was tired of hearing this and stood up to leave. When he glanced over for the last time, he saw Luhmann's body shaking violently.

Under the altar, Luman's men were not treated so well. All of them were naked and tied to wooden stakes. Experts in extorting confessions from the Military Justice Department were preparing knives to cut them into pieces.

The people standing nearby couldn't wait any longer, shouting for revenge and waving their fists in excitement.

Cohen looked around, knocked on the door of the carriage, and got in. When he looked up, he saw several ladies with pale faces.

"What's wrong?"

"That sound is really unpleasant to hear, it makes people feel itchy in their bones." A look of disgust appeared on Kelly's face: "Husband, let's go back to the palace!"

"Is this unbearable? He will have to laugh for a day or two before he dies. I specially arranged for people to give him energy and let him rest every once in a while." Cohen said lightly, but when he saw several ladies, he was even more excited.

With a pale face, he quickly changed the topic: "Princess, do you also want to go back?"

Princess Berni couldn't bear it anymore and nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, let's go back! Let him laugh slowly here." Cohen opened the door and gave some instructions, and the royal guards escorted the carriage and left.

Under the altar, the first execution was officially carried out, and the people rejoiced.

Cohen in the carriage looked at the people outside the carriage window with an indifferent expression on his face, which made several ladies a little strange. Wensley asked, and Cohen only said that he was a little tired these days.

In fact, Cohen had other things on his mind.

If the result of the war was that he failed and was executed by Luman here today, what would the people look like? If the Luman faction had benefited, they would also cheer the end of the war as they do now, right?

For these people, justice is not the most important thing. The most important thing is to have food, clothing, and fun... They are only afraid of one thing, power, absolute power!

Divine power is like this, imperial power is like this, military power is like this, there are no exceptions...

The excited people did not know that it was their enthusiastic reaction to watching the execution that made His Majesty the Emperor feel disturbed. This incident would have a considerable influence on the future governance of the empire. At the same time, His Majesty Cohen also gave up

In the past, some unrealistic ideas were made, and we were determined to formulate laws and power structures that were most suitable for the people.

What kind of citizens there are, there are what kind of laws control them. After thinking about this, Cohen's face returned to a smile.

"Princess, I have sent a special envoy to your father to explain this matter, so you don't have to worry." Cohen looked at Princess Berni nestling in Feilin's arms: "In addition, you can also ascend the throne as me.

As a distinguished guest at the grand ceremony, what do you think of staying in the Holy City for another two months?"

"This is the best. I also want to spend a few more days with my sisters here." Princess Berni sat up with difficulty: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You're welcome." Cohen added, "Besides, I have another idea. Do you want to hear it?"

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"It's like this, you know I only have two brothers, and my parents don't have daughters." Cohen said with a smile: "If possible, I want to be your brother... In other words, you will have one more Sibia Empire.

As a princess, it is more convenient to move around each other. If you want to relax at any time, just come here, the door of the palace will always be open to you."

"This..." This matter was a bit sudden for Princess Berni: "I have no problem, but I don't know if my father will agree."

"Then, we will immediately send a special envoy to your father. He will bring a letter written by my father and a gift that can show our sincerity." Cohen said with a smile: "I think! Even if it is

Just for the sake of harmony between the two empires, your father will agree."

"If my father agrees, of course I will have no objection." Princess Berni also smiled and replied: "In that case, I don't need to call you Your Majesty. I also like to be with my sisters."

Among the people in the carriage, Feline was the only one who knew that Cohen's suggestion had impure motives, but as Cohen's wife, she naturally would not bend her arms.

"Look at you, you haven't slept well in the past two days." Feilin stroked Princess Berni's cheek and said lovingly: "You have to have a good rest when you go back later. Can my sister cook for you? Wen Si

Sister Li’s soup will make you forget all your worries.”

"I don't have such good cooking skills." Wen Sili felt embarrassed: "It depends on what you said."

"No matter what, it's fine as long as everyone is happy." Cohen looked at the ladies in front of him: "Everyone, the past comes to an end today. Starting from today, everyone must be ready to face the challenges in the future."

Before Feilin could reply, Princess Berni had already raised her hand and said, "Okay, little spy princess, I will write Brother Cohen's words into the secret document and submit it to my father."

The laughter in the carriage spread outside, causing a smile to appear on the lips of Bai Ying walking beside the carriage. (To be continued)
