I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

Seeing that no one was speaking for him, King Zhao's eyes darkened and his face became gloomy.

He knew that although these officials got along well with him on a daily basis, when it came to a matter of life and death, they would definitely choose to protect themselves and would not care about their own life or death.

It is precisely because of this that he understands that only by saving himself can he save his life!

He looked at Jiang Linglong, his tone full of arrogance and intimidation.

"I am the prince of the entire Great Zhou, the King of Zhao. If you dare to attack me, you will die miserably!"

Seeing that he was still threatening her at this time, Jiang Linglong laughed instead of getting angry.

"You have done something disrespectful, and you still want me to forgive you? That's simply wishful thinking. You should think about whether what you have done will affect your family!"

"They were originally people of noble status, but because of what you did, they lost the protection of their status. How are they going to survive in the future?"

Upon hearing this, King Yan's face turned ugly. He knew that Jiang Linglong was threatening him.

But even so, he had no intention of giving up and looked at her with resentment.

"Jiang Linglong, I don't believe you have the guts to do this! If you do anything to me, you will be the sinner of the entire Great Zhou, and you won't be able to sit in your position for too long!"

Seeing that he was still struggling, Jiang Linglong sighed helplessly.

"Why don't you understand? If you didn't do anything, I wouldn't be able to do anything to you. Now that you've given me this opportunity, I must cherish it!"

After saying this, she no longer paid attention to King Yan, but looked at the dozen or so grand masters.

Their bodies had been controlled by Lu Yuan and they were now unable to exert any strength and could only collapse to the ground.

"What about you? Will you plead guilty?"

Everything was a foregone conclusion, so they naturally dared not deny it. They nodded hurriedly and threw all the dirty water on King Yan.

"It was the prince who told us to do this. We had no choice but to do it. Otherwise, how could we have the courage to do such a thing? It was the prince who instigated us!"

Hearing them say this, the Flame King was filled with anger and roared at them.

"You guys are such a spineless bunch. You gave up so easily. Don't you know that she doesn't have the guts to touch me?"

Seeing that he was still stubborn even at this point, Jiang Linglong was no longer polite.

Originally, she had planned that if King Yan sincerely admitted his mistake, she would give him a chance to live, but would deprive him of all his rights and not take his life.

But in the current situation, it is really unnecessary. We can also use this incident to warn others who are ready to make a move, so that they will know the consequences and will not dare to act rashly.

Thinking of this, Jiang Linglong spoke.

"Since King Yan is so stubborn, I will not be polite any more. Tomorrow at 3:30 pm, you will behead him and let everyone know!"

"Retreat!"

After saying this, Jiang Linglong stood up and left the hall.

King Yan was shocked. He didn't expect Jiang Linglong to really dare to do this to him. He couldn't accept it for a while.

He kept shaking his head and muttering to himself.

"No, you can't kill me, I'm the prince, you can't do anything to me, I'm the prince!"

But no matter what he said, the outcome was already decided and would not change at all. He was just deceiving himself.

After returning to her residence, Jiang Linglong felt mixed emotions.

She had expected this result, but even though she had expected it, she still felt frightened when it actually happened.

Seeing her like this, Lu Yuan appeared beside her and comforted her.

"This is unavoidable. As an emperor, you must be decisive in killing and punishing people. Only in this way can you manage a country well."

"Besides, what King Yan did was extremely treasonous. There is nothing wrong with what you did!"

Jiang Linglong sighed and said helplessly.

"Brother-in-law, the identity of King Yan is extraordinary after all. If he dies, will the others..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lu Yuan.

"These are all things you need to experience. No matter which emperor you are from, you will have to experience all of this bloodbath. There is no way to avoid it!"

"No matter what, I'm here, you don't have to worry about these things!"

His words carried a kind of power that made Jiang Linglong feel inexplicably relieved and she stopped worrying.

The next day, noon.

King Yan had his hands tied and was kneeling on the ground, along with a dozen or so grand masters.

Their faces were filled with fear; they had already anticipated what was waiting for them, so they were naturally terrified.

At this moment, King Yan no longer had the calm and composed look he had before. He looked at Jiang Linglong, who was sitting on the top with a cold face, and began to show weakness and beg for mercy.

"I promise I will never do anything like that again. Please give me a chance for the sake of my status as a prince!"

Jiang Lingling glanced at him coldly and spoke.

"It is precisely because you are a prince that this matter cannot be let go. As the saying goes, the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. If I forgive you like this, then other people will follow suit. Wouldn't I have to forgive everyone?"

Hearing that she was unmoved, King Yan could only use another trick.

"I don't ask you to let me continue to be a prince. It's okay if you demote me to a commoner. As long as you can save my life, that's enough."

Even though he made such a request, Jiang Linglong still refused to give in.

If he had such an idea before, Jiang Linglong would still consider it.

But now that it has come to this, she will naturally not give in. She will definitely make them pay the price for what they have done, and she will never let it go so easily!"

Jiang Linglong knew that among the many onlookers, many were ready to make a move and had ulterior motives.

If I give up at this time, some people will definitely take advantage of me, and it will not be easy for me to deal with it in the future.

It would be better to take this opportunity to let all of them see clearly that this is the outcome.

Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you know what the final result will be.

It's three quarters past noon.

Following Jiang Linglong's order, the executioner raised his sword and cut off the man's head.

The scene was too bloody, and many people did not dare to watch it. They lowered their heads and tried to avoid it as much as possible.

No one expected that Jiang Linglong, who was so young and a female emperor, could have such courage. It was really surprising and shocking. (End of this chapter)
