Chapter 941: 438: Turing Duo dies tragically! Fu Lingxi pleads!_2
She knew that Suo Lun was a stubborn and impetuous person. However, it is precisely such a monarch that could instill fear in his subjects, for they could never grasp his thoughts.
King Zhi Bian also was such a monarch, capricious and inscrutable in his heavenly might.
Moreover, Zhen Yan Princess had already noticed that since Suo Lun entered the royal city, he had greatly restrained his emotions. He hadn’t launched a massacre but instead showed a merciful heart through thunderous actions, trying to accomplish the court’s purge with minimal bloodshed.
Of course, Zhen Yan and Suo Lun did not entirely agree.
For instance, regarding the matter of Marquis FuE, Zhen Yan felt that FuE, backed by the Dragon Temple and also being Suo Lun’s grandfather,
for the sake of Suo Lun’s reputation, and to avoid worsening relations with the Dragon Temple, Suo Lun should not be so decisive against FuE, should not cripple his limbs and disable his martial arts.
However, in such matters, Zhen Yan would not defy her husband’s will.
In the future, even if she had different opinions, she would never openly oppose him but would share her thoughts privately, in bed with Suo Lun.
Zhen Yan had already decided in her heart, as long as Suo Lun did not plot a coup, she would not do anything to betray him.
Would Suo Lun plot to overthrow the dynasty? It was unthinkable by any stretch,
this was his son’s dynasty, would he plan to usurp it? It’s a joke.
Zhen Yan was very accurate in judging people; Suo Lun’s prioritization of his relatives surpassed everything else, he was not a ruthless and unrighteous king.
Moreover, so proud and lofty, his ambition was to build the Rage Wave Kingdom into a stronger power, to become the hegemon among the Human Kingdoms, and his ultimate ideal was to overthrow the massive obstacle of the Dragon Temple.
Any speculation that Suo Lun would plot a coup was a severe underestimation of him.
Zhen Yan’s beautiful eyes turned towards Turing Duo, her stunning face chilling. She did not speak but thought word by word in her heart: "You all underestimate me, Zhen Yan, and you underestimate Suo Lun too!"
Indeed, Suo Lun shrugged and said: "Turing Duo, do not speculate about us with your narrow vision and mind!"
"Yes!" Turing Chen bowed.
Suo Lun said, "Rise."
Turing Chen stood up, respectfully standing beside Tuli Yang.
Suo Lun turned to Black Dragon Platform Minor Minister Yin Du and said, "Begin."
"Yes!" Yin Du said.
Then, he abruptly raised his hand and shouted, "Prepare!"
Instantly, several black-clad samurais opened the prison cart and escorted Turing Duo out.
The directions for five carriages were set!
Five ropes were tied to Turing Duo’s head and limbs!
"Go!" ordered Yin Du.
Immediately, the five carriages moved forward a few steps.
Turing Duo’s limbs were spread wide, and her body was stretched straight in the air.
Turing Chen’s face twitched, eyes sore, he couldn’t help but tear up.
This person about to die was his sister!
Turing Chen had always been hard-hearted, but his father Turing Tuo’s suicide seemed to have completely changed his mental state.
On one hand, his heart had hardened further, allowing him to view the world more objectively and remain calm in honor or disgrace.
On the other hand, his heart had softened because he had become the head of the Turing Clan, he had to take on his father’s role, to protect the family.
Thus, the tragic imminent death of Turing Duo deeply saddened him.
Of course, he wouldn’t narrowly blame Suo Lun for his sister’s death; Turing Duo had brought it upon herself.
Although it was Suo Lun who ordered the execution, he wasn’t the actual killer.
Many were responsible for Turing Duo’s death; the first was her father Turing Tuo, the second was Zhi Li, and the third was himself, Turing Chen.
"Carry out the execution!" commanded Black Dragon Platform Minor Minister Ying Du.
Instantly, the warhorses neighed fiercely and charged forward.
"Ah..." Turing Duo screamed.
Blood splattered everywhere!
Her once beautiful body was completely torn apart!
Turing Duo died a gruesome death!
...
The entire assembly of nobles, lords, and civil and military officials trembled violently. Some even wet themselves on the spot.
It wasn’t that they were faint-hearted or couldn’t bear such scenes; they had all witnessed even crueler sights.
Rather, it was because the sense of empathy was too strong; today it was Turing Duo, tomorrow it could be them, how could they not be terrified?
Suo Lun glanced at the officials present, suddenly squatted down, sitting directly on the steps, and said: "Everyone knows that last night, Prime Minister Yan Wuji committed suicide by poisoning, and now the kingdom is without a Prime Minister, what should we do?"
At these words, everyone was startled.
This was the square, and they had just conducted a dismemberment, blood still fresh, discussing state affairs here, was this really appropriate?
Suo Lun continued, "The Prime Minister is in charge of the affairs of the entire land, indispensable to the King either day. Who should take the position as the new Prime Minister, any ideas?"
The crowd was silent!
Suddenly, Finance Minister Beibu Tuo stepped forward and said, "Would it be possible for Yan Wuzhi to replace his elder brother and take up the role of Prime Minister?"
Suo Lun shook his head and said: "Yan Wuzhi is not yet ready, I have other plans for him."
While Yan Wuzhi was indeed Suo Lun’s designated Prime Minister that was meant to happen ten years later; first to let him serve as governor in lower provinces for two terms.
Beibu Tuo said, "What about Minister of Personnel Lord Heimu?"
Minister of Personnel Heimu, being the uncle of Forbidden Army’s Commander Hei Ningqi, was a Cabinet Minister very close to the King.
However, when Zhi Li wielded significant influence, he had always excused himself at home due to illness. Whether when the world besieged Suo Lun or when Zhi Li unlawfully ascended the throne, he had remained uninvolved, not aligning with the corrupt.
