C462 The Heavens Couldn't Tolerate It

"Huh, have mercy?" Mu Han couldn't help but sneer. His tone suddenly became incomparably cold as he said, "If I spare your life, then those 23 officials who died in vain, who should I demand compensation from?"

Hearing these words, Grand Tutor Lin was instantly frightened until his face turned pale. He kept kowtowing and begging, "Forgive the Emperor. Forgive the Emperor. It was the Martial King who ordered this old official to do it. It was not my intention!"

"Lin Yi!" Seeing that he was still trying to escape responsibility at this moment, Mu Han immediately became furious and said: "At this point, do you think that by pushing all the responsibility onto the Martial King, you will be safe and sound? What a joke! When you point your butcher's knife at someone else, you should have already resolved yourself! "

Hearing the conversation between the two, the officers were already at a loss for words. Just yesterday, the news of the twenty-three officials being killed had caused a sensation in the mausoleum. However, no matter what, they never would have thought that the true executor of this case was actually someone who was in the same court as them. Immediately, all of them looked at Grand Tutor Lin with eyes filled with anger and hatred. It wasn't just for those officials who had died in vain. They had been on tenterhooks for the past two days. If it wasn't for the fact that they didn't dare to act rashly in front of Mu Han, the officials would have pounced on him and beat him to death a long time ago. Even so, the murderous gazes of the officials were enough to make Grand Tutor Lin feel fearful.

"Emperor. . . Forgive me. It is true that the Martial King threatened this old official and said that if this old official did not agree, he would be the first to take this old official's life. This old official was also forced to do so. I had no choice! " Grand Tutor Lin said with a bitter expression.

"In order to protect your own life, you treated other people's lives like grass. Lin Yi, you are absolutely selfish!"

Hearing his selfish words, Iron Blood Prime Minister Ye Wu was so angry that his entire body trembled. He immediately straightened his body and said righteously: "I plead the Emperor to immediately drag this traitor to the afternoon gate to behead the public and use the atmosphere of the court as a sacrifice to the soul of the loyal soul in heaven!"

As soon as these words were spoken, The moment these words were spoken, all the officials also echoed in agreement: "I beg the Emperor to agree!"

As for Lin Yi, he was already scared silly by this scene. He prostrated on the ground and did not even dare to breathe. He would only repeat it repeatedly. One sentence, "Emperor, spare me. . . Emperor, spare me. . . "

Raising his hand to signal for everyone to quiet down, Mu Han walked in front of Grand Tutor Lin and asked coldly, "Lin Yi, please spare me. . . What else do you have to say?"

Knowing that he would not be able to escape, Lin Xiao immediately became older and older. The wrinkles on his face piled up and at this moment, he said weakly, "This old official has nothing to say. I only hope that the Emperor can let this old official live and this old official will be extremely grateful. "

"Ridiculous! Firstly, you are doing this for your own personal gain. According to the law of Great Yaen, you did not hesitate to murder the lives of many of your colleagues. This is a capital offense. Secondly, You know that the Martial King's actions are outrageous, but not only did you not urge him to stop. . . On the contrary, you even added an additional crime to your crime. In conclusion, your crime can be said to be monstrous. Even if you die a hundred times, a thousand times. . . Yet you still dare to ask for your life! "

Xiao Zhan was about to explode from his whimsical thoughts. He actually had the right to beg for his life after doing such a heaven defying thing. Immediately, he let out a cold snort and scolded with his supreme inner energy, "If you don't die, the heavens will not tolerate it!"

"If you don't die, the heavens will not tolerate it!"

At that moment, the lingering sound of the voice rolled in the air. It sounded like the judgment of the end of the world. It echoed in Lin Xiao's ears over and over again, making him even more unable to raise his head.

"Since the officials insist that I behead them, then naturally I will not do anything about it. " After saying that, Mu Han waved his hand and a domineering aura of an emperor spread out. He spoke in an extremely dignified manner. "Men, drag this man down. He will be beheaded at three o'clock in the afternoon!"

Seeing that he was about to be dragged out of the hall and his head was in danger, Grand Tutor Lin suddenly shouted, "Emperor, you can't kill me!"

Hearing this, Mu Han immediately became interested and gestured for the guards to stop temporarily. He asked with a cold smile, "Why can't I kill him?"

"Because. . . Because this old official was highly regarded by the previous emperor, and now, the corpse of the former emperor has yet to turn cold. If the Emperor kills this old official, then wouldn't that chill the heart of the former emperor! " Grand Tutor Lin could not help but admire his own intelligence. He hurriedly put on a pained expression and said," May the Emperor think twice before acting. After all, the death of this old official is a small matter. But if this causes the previous Emperor to be unable to rest in peace under the nine springs, that would be a huge sin! "

"Oh, you mean killing you will make Royal Father die with everlasting regret?" Mu Han immediately laughed out loud when he heard this. His tone was filled with deep disdain. "Grand Tutor Lin, you have overestimated your own value!"

The fire of hope that had just been ignited by Lin Yi was extinguished in an instant.

At this moment, Minister of Rites, Liu Wenn, thought for a while and suggested, "My king, it has only been a few hours since the previous emperor was buried. According to the taboo, it is indeed inappropriate to see blood today. Why don't we temporarily imprison him in the Imperial Prison and execute him on another day?"

Hearing this, the officials immediately stopped clamoring for Lin Yi's death. Even Xiao Zhan and the others who wished they could chop Lin Yi into pieces were silent, revealing a troubled expression. After all, the death of a person was important, and they did not want to see it happen. Because of a mere treacherous official, they had broken the taboo and caused the former emperor to be unable to rest in peace.

"There's no need for that. Drag him away. As soon as it's three quarters in the afternoon, he will be executed immediately!"

Unexpectedly, Mu Han's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations. He did not even hesitate when he heard this. He said righteously, "In this fight for the throne, twenty-three lords died innocently. Now, we have finally captured the real culprit. If we don't kill him. . . If Royal Father really has a spirit in the heavens, he will definitely feel gratified by my decision. He would not ignore the fear of loyalty just because of the so-called taboo. He condoned the rebels to be free from the law!"

Hearing his words, everyone praised from the bottom of their hearts, "The Emperor is wise!"

Under the stimulation of death, Lin Yi finally lost his rationality and cursed, "Mu Han, you reckless man, you are not worthy to be the Sovereign of Great Yaen!"

"How dare you! How can I allow you to be rude in front of the Saint Emperor?!"

Xiao Zhan was extremely furious. He was about to strike out with his palm, but was stopped by Mu Han. He smiled and said, "Why don't you listen to what Master Lin has to say first? Why can't I be the king?"

Knowing that he was going to die today, Lin Yi completely let go of him. Facing the cold and sharp eyes of the crowd, he said without any fear. "You are just a mere warrior. In terms of strategy and character, you are not even one or two tenths as powerful as Martial Prince. What right do you have to be the ruler of Great Yaen?!"

"Lin Yi, don't you dare spout nonsense here. The disposition you speak of, could it be that you want to be like the Martial King, who doesn't recognize his kin? This is absurd. That is so inhuman. Even if you succeed the throne and become the emperor, you will only be a tyrant in the future. You won't even have the heart of a ruler. How can you talk about ruling a country?!"

Ye Wuriang tried his best to argue with him. However, Mu Han's expression remained the same. He did not take it seriously. He waved his hand and said, "It's fine. Let him continue. "
