The bloody head rolled down, landed on the execution ground and rolled far away, leaving blood stains all over the ground.
Everyone is confused!
None of the prisoners who were about to be executed were killed, but the prison officer was beheaded first.
Everyone took a breath of cold air.
The key person who ordered the killing was Li Yong!
The most useless and fearful prince recognized in the entire capital!
But the people he killed were the Crown Prince's people.
After a while, when the accompanying general reacted, he became furious and drew his sword instantly: "How brave!"
After this loud shout, all the soldiers drew their swords and pointed their spears directly at King Yong.
When the soldiers were preparing to approach step by step, King Yong raised something high and said: "The Holy Apostle is here, who dares to make a mistake?"
"Ouch!"
There was an uproar.
"Is the imperial edict coming?"
"The imperial edict is coming!"
"The imperial edict has really come!"
In an instant, everyone was filled with anger! The entire execution ground exploded, and both the people and the literati were shouting: "The imperial edict is coming! We are saved!"
Because everyone knows that the only thing that can save the literati now is the emperor's imperial edict.
However, before this, no one dared to think about it.
Nowadays, the emperor is no longer able to control the government, and everything is decided by the prince. It is obviously impossible for the prince to change his decision.
However, a miracle happened!
The edict has really come!
The general who drew his sword was also stunned when he saw the imperial edict in King Yong's hand.
Li Yong glanced at him: "Who are you, general? Why don't you kneel down after seeing the imperial edict?"
"Imperial decree? Where did it come from? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
"Hahaha..." Li Yong laughed loudly, "Your Highness the Crown Prince? Your Highness the Crown Prince offended the Emperor today and has been placed under house arrest in the East Palace! Do you still think that the Crown Prince has the final say in the current court?"
"Ah? The prince is under house arrest...this is impossible!"
"If you don't believe it, then gamble with your head!"
The general hesitated, then finally put away his sword and knelt on the ground.
The general knelt down, and everyone followed suit. A wave of kneeling people suddenly formed in Xuanyang Street. The scene was so spectacular that it was rarely seen in the world.
"The Son of Heaven calls: I have been neglecting political affairs for a long time due to my old age and physical weakness. Today I have received God's will, and I am in good health and full of energy. I am very relieved! This is God's wish for me to continue to rule the world and benefit the people. I remember the kindness of heaven and earth.
, Therefore, a general amnesty will be granted to the whole country. Starting immediately, in the Great China, the prisoners on death row will be imprisoned, and the imprisoned people will be released, and within three years, the taxes in the Great China will be halved. I appreciate this."
"Dead prisoners should be changed to prison terms!"
"Dead prisoners should be changed to prison terms!"
"There is no need to die! There is really no need to die!"
In an instant, the cheers became an ocean!
…
On the bumpy rainy street, the burned houses on both sides have gradually been extinguished.
There are still traces of previous battles all around.
The people around know what happened here. Although there is no one here anymore, no one dares to come close.
At this moment, a group of people hurriedly arrived, and one of them shouted: "Hurry! Hurry! Time is running out. Let's see if the person is found?"
This group of people ran very fast, looking around at the ruins on both sides of the street.
But the man who spoke stood calmly in the middle.
This person is the second prince, Li Xiangyang!
And beside him, the ghost-faced man who had appeared in Jiangnan was still not far away.
Along the way, Li Xiangyang was in a state of utter disarray, with sewage stained everywhere on his body.
I came here in such a hurry because I heard about the important events in the court today.
However, after working hard all the way, there was not much gain, which made Li Xiangyang a little depressed.
"Is the news reliable?"
The ghost-faced man looked around: "Judging from the current situation, there must be a master here who has taken action. It should be the person holding the imperial edict. The master's aura only existed for a moment, and then disappeared quickly. He should be dead."
"Are you sure? Could it be that the Grandmaster deliberately concealed his aura?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, this subordinate is still right. It's just that I doubt that the imperial edict will be here."
Li Xiangyang gritted his teeth and said: "The imperial edict must still be there. The only person in the capital who can kill the Grand Master silently is the one in the palace. If it were him, he would definitely not take anything away."
At this moment, someone from the front suddenly shouted: "Your Highness! Found it! Found the imperial edict!"
"What? Found the imperial edict?!" Li Xiangyang was shocked, "Give it to me quickly!"
At this time, a subordinate came over and took out an imperial edict stained with blood and sewage.
Li Xiangyang frowned when he looked at it. When he opened it again, he found that the text inside was completely unclear.
The ghost-faced man asked: "Is such an imperial edict still useful?"
"It's useful! Even if you can't see clearly, it's still useful! There's still a quarter of an hour until noon. Take this thing to the execution ground and stop the execution. Wait until His Highness arrives!"
"yes!"
The ghost-faced man received the imperial edict and was about to set off when another person came in front of him: "Your Highness! Something bad has happened!"
"What's wrong?"
"Already...someone has gone to the execution ground to stop the execution?"
"What? How is this possible?" Li Xiangyang suddenly shouted loudly.
"It's absolutely true! Tens of thousands of people on the streets of Xuanyang cheered, and all the literati did not have to die!"
"Who is it? Who is it?"
"His Royal Highness Li Yong!"
"Li Yong? What a piece of shit! He actually got one step ahead?" Li Xiangyang cursed, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt something was wrong and asked, "This is wrong, the holy decree is here."
"Li Yong also has an imperial edict in his hand!"
"Oh no! His imperial edict is false! This bitch is so brave, he dares to falsely preach the imperial edict!"
Li Xiangyang was so angry that he jumped up and down.
Everyone was frightened because they had not seen His Highness act so gloomy for a long, long time.
After being silent for a long time, Li Xiangyang snatched the imperial edict from the ghost-faced man's hand, threw it to the ground, and stepped on it!
"Li Yong! What a Li Yong! You hide it so deeply!"
Li Xiangyang is not an angry person, especially in this situation. But his anger at this moment can no longer be hidden. The situation that emerged is really far from his imagination.
Who could have imagined that the most useless person would step in at the most critical moment?
Now that Li Xin had angered the emperor, it was time for him, Li Xiangyang, to stand up, but Li Yong took the opportunity.
This entry and exit has a considerable impact on Li Xiangyang, Li Xin, and the entire capital!
I can't tolerate Li Xiangyang not being angry.
After Li Xiangyang said it coldly, he seemed to have regained his composure. He took a few steps forward and asked, "Where was the imperial edict found?"
The person who brought the imperial edict pointed to a puddle full of blood in front of him.
Li Xiangyang saw the bull-head mask that was cut into two parts and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Take a few steps forward and bend down to pick it up.
When he lowered his head, he was suddenly stunned.
I saw a row of vague bloody footprints on the ground not far from the mask, extending towards the front of the street...
