King of Song

Chapter 323 Execution Ground Bride
Emperor Zhao Xu suddenly issued an edict, and Lin Zhaogai will be executed at noon today!
Hearing the news suddenly, is it strange that Uncle Cao Guo's soul is out of his body?I just heard him muttering to himself: "How could this be? How could..."

There was a reason for Zhao Xu's sudden change of mind. This morning, he received some memorials.

They come from Sima Guang, the left-bearer of Xijing who just returned to Bianjing, Ouyang Xiu, the prefect of Ruzhou, and Su Shi, the general judge of Hangzhou, and many other famous people.

The core is all one, that is, the judgment of Lin Zhao's case was too hasty, and a new trial was requested.In a nutshell, they complained for Lin Zhao, accused Yushitai, the Ministry of Punishment, and Prime Minister Wang Anshi, and some of them even pointed to him as the emperor explicitly or secretly...

Zhao Xu didn't expect that some people would unite to protect a person, but thought it was of the same nature as the Ayun case.It was conservative officials who attacked the new party, and Lin Zhao was just an excuse, which made him very angry...

The emperor is no longer what he used to be, how can he be easily controlled by his ministers?This time Zhao Xu was determined to attack them, and defended Wang Anshi as always.Of course, the most important thing is to maintain the majesty of his emperor...

At this time, Zhao Xu seemed to have a childish temper and a strong rebellious mentality.You guys don't want me to do this, well, I'll let you see, who decides?

Zhao Xu, whose desire for power continued to heat up, was very annoyed. He thought that Lin Zhao's death penalty was already a signal to kill chickens and ban monkeys. It seems that there are still many people who don't appreciate it and don't take themselves seriously?That being the case, let's do a thorough job of scaring others...

Therefore, as soon as he left the court, Zhao Xu immediately ordered Lin Zhao to be executed!

The matter was so sudden that the Iron Masked Sect Master suddenly turned pale with shock when he heard the news.He had already received Jiang Leiting's report that he would arrive in Bianjing today with conclusive evidence, but he didn't want such a thing to happen, and the execution was brought forward by a whole day.

Except for cursing Zhao Xu, all their preparations became insignificant, and there must be an emergency plan as soon as possible.

Perhaps, as Li Cheng said, if it doesn't work, the only option is to use force, and they are not completely unprepared for this.They already had a complete plan and even practiced about the robbery, but the risk was too great.In this situation, I can't be too scrupled. It's really a last resort, and the only way to do it is to rob the magic field...

Of course, before that, there is another trump card, that is the Empress Dowager Cao.Now it seems that she is indeed the one who can turn the tide, although Cao's direct appearance may arouse some people's doubts.But at this moment, preserving Lin Zhao's life is the most important thing.

Ever since, the iron-faced suzerain immediately notified Cao Yi and asked the Cao family to come forward.On the other hand, he is going to arrange other things, trying to make the things handled thoughtfully and smoothly...

Cao Shi and Zhao Fukang were also shocked when they heard the news. They didn't expect their grandson Zhao Xu to be so cruel.The grandson wanted to kill her son, and this situation made her very sad and indignant...

Even though she loves Zhao Xu very much on weekdays, the relationship is far behind after all, and Lin Zhao is her "son", how can her adopted grandson compare to her son?
The Empress Dowager was completely disappointed with Zhao Xu, and she was very angry.Of course, the first thing she has to do now is to protect her son...

This, she can do.The empress dowager personally went to the execution ground, can't she stop the execution?Cao, who has a strong heart to protect the calf, even thought that if someone wanted to touch Lin Zhao today, he would have to step on her dead body...

It's just that such a big battle will undoubtedly arouse suspicion, and then reveal Lin Zhao's true identity.Mrs. Cao knew very well how Zhao Xu and his daughter-in-law Gao Taotao would react if their identities were revealed.Back then they were able to be so ruthless and daring, but now that they are in power, it is even more unimaginable...

Maybe I can save Lin Zhao in one day, but what if I am gone?Cao's greatest fear is that his front foot will die, and Lin Zhao's rear foot will die suddenly...

For a while, Cao Yu was in a state of confusion and couldn't think of a way...

But Zhao Fukang had an idea and said: "My lady, there is a way... Minyan came with me today. She loves her brother very much, and she came to me yesterday and wanted to plead with my mother. If my mother agrees, will it be a matter of course... ..."

"Minyan?" Cao's heart skipped a beat, she turned out to be his daughter-in-law!Beautiful as a flower, intelligent and gentle, really good.

Cao Yu said: "Princess, this suggestion is good, but some things still need to be more careful, and strive to be more reasonable!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When they heard the news, Wang Yu and Lu Huiqing were naturally the most proud. As long as the head fell to the ground, they would be sure.

The imperial decree had already been issued, and he would be executed at noon. From their point of view, there was no possibility of any further changes, and Lin Zhao was doomed.Of course, watching the execution is definitely a must. Whether it is the pleasure of being proud, or witnessing the killing of an enemy with one's own eyes, and comforting the spirit of the younger brother in heaven, it is worthwhile for them.

Although Wang Yu was weak and in poor health, he was definitely a ruthless master. He didn't have the slightest obstacle in his heart when it came to beheading. At this moment, he and Lu Huiqing were standing in the distance watching silently, waiting for the good show to unfold.

Although there were no vegetable markets in the Song Dynasty, there were special execution grounds.However, today's execution ground is quite special, it is on the street where Nanxunmen is located, which is the central axis of Bianjing City.Moreover, the distance from the imperial palace is not very far, there are many people watching the execution, and there are also many officials who are on business or passing by nearby, and all of them have the opportunity to witness the tragic scene.

What Zhao Xu wants is this effect, and only in this way can it play the role of killing chickens for monkeys to see.Since you don't take me as the emperor so seriously, you have to prove with blood who is the master of the empire...

Standing nearby, Wang Yu and Lu Huiqing happened to be able to directly look at the execution ground, and saw Lin Zhao being tied up and brought up from a distance.

Lin Zhao had no expression on his face, his biggest feeling might be the suddenness!

From the trial to the verdict of the case, the speed was very fast, and there was no chance for myself to argue.Don't think about it too much, what can you say with just one mouth?The emperor no longer trusts you, if he wants to kill you, what chance is there for you to survive?
Being brought to the execution ground, the strongest feeling in Lin Zhao's heart was anger and hatred.To Li Fugui, to Wang Anshi, and to Emperor Zhao Xu.

They are all ungrateful things. Although some people may have their own difficulties, is it really appropriate to casually let others be victims?Especially when it happened to him, he was even more furious.

At this moment, I have really become a victim of politics, but I can't change all of this.

Lin Zhao really wants to say, if God gives me another chance, I will definitely hold the power and control my fate; if I have to add a deadline, I hope it will be a lifetime.

But do I still have this chance?
He has already arrived at the execution ground, and his head may fall to the ground in a short time. The low-probability event of keeping someone under the sword usually only happens in film and television dramas.

Will I be so lucky?
Lin Zhao shook his head lightly. If some people wanted to help, they would have already done so. In such an urgent situation, it is reasonable to stand by and watch.He had already heard people from Yushitai say that Sima Guang, Ouyang Xiu, Su Shi and others spoke for him.Lin Zhao was already quite moved by this, but unfortunately he never had the chance to repay him.

What's more, how easy is it to turn things around in a moment?Lin Zhao has given up hope.

I can't help but feel lost in my heart. I have traveled through rebirth and gained thousands of years of experience. I thought I could be like a fish in water in ancient times, but I don't want to be a victim in the power struggle.Lin Zhao couldn't help but feel a bit of a failure. Why didn't the halo of the protagonist who traveled through all the awesomeness happen to him?

No matter, no matter!
Lin Zhao would not dream of going back to before the time when the executioner raised his knife and fell.Or shouting: Lao Tzu will be a hero again in 20 years, these are all meaningless.

At this moment, the only thing he can do is to take another look at the prosperous and prosperous Song Dynasty, and he is about to bid farewell to this world. Lin Zhao has no special nostalgia, and the only thing he is worried about is his family and a few confidante friends.

His eyes searched in the crowd, but he never saw them.It's okay, so as not to part with life and death, let them be heartbroken, but inadvertently, it is inevitable to be a little lonely and sad...

Lin Zhao didn't notice that his uncle Gu Qi was watching him from among the crowd. At the same time, among the crowd, there were many capable people who were paying close attention to the scene on the execution platform, ready to strike at any time.

Wang Dongjian and Li Han were execution officers. Seeing Lin Zhao who had been tied up, he looked at the sundial and said with a sneer, "It's almost time, ready to execute!"

"Wait!"

There was a commotion among the crowd, and a woman in a bright wedding gown came over, who was it if it wasn't Meng Ruoying?
The execution ground and the wedding dress appeared at the same time, causing a commotion!
Lin Zhao looked at Meng Ruoying who was approaching step by step, and unconsciously, his eyes were moist.He already knew what the beautiful girl wanted to do, so he shook his head slightly...

"Who are you? Why are you harassing the execution ground?" Li Han looked at the woman who suddenly appeared and asked in surprise.

"My lord, Meng Ruoying, my servant, is Lin Zhao's fiancée!"

Wang Dongjian said in a deep voice, "What are you going to do?"

Meng Ruoying said: "My lord, please give me some time, there is a very important thing..."

"What's the matter?" Although the family members were allowed to bid farewell before the execution, Li Han felt strange when he saw Meng Ruoying's attire.

"I was looking forward to getting married with Mr. Lang when he returned from the northwest, but now it seems that there is no chance... I don't want to leave any regrets, and I can't wait any longer. I hope to marry Mr. Lang here, and I hope my lord will make it happen! "

"Are you kidding? This is the execution ground!" Wang Dongjian was very surprised and immediately objected.

Li Han said coldly: "Do you know that his head is about to fall, what's the good of marrying a dying man? Let alone a criminal who is collaborating with the enemy and treason!"

Meng Ruoying shook her head slightly, and stood proudly on the execution platform, her bright wedding dress was dancing in the wind, she was truly glamorous.

I just heard her say loudly: "It doesn't matter, even if I can be husband and wife with Lin Lang for a while, I feel very happy. As for Lin Lang's charges, I have no intention of arguing with the two of you, I just want to say
If he deserves what he deserves, I will accompany him to be criticized by thousands of people; if he dies innocently, I will do my best to avenge his wrongdoing!In this life and in this life, we will never change our resolve! "
