At this moment, Di Xin felt like his heart was being cut by a knife. He said in grief,"I know you guys blame me!"
"I've been fighting all these years. I didn't take good care of you and didn't be a good father.”
"It was me who suppressed the theocracy nobles. It was I who made you lose the right to inherit the throne. I let you down!”
"Even if one day you raise your butcher's knife and want to kill me, I can understand and admit it!”
"But why did you choose now? Why did you choose to rely on the Zhou people? This is treason!"
Di Xin roared. He felt as if his heart had been hit by a heavy hammer. It was true!
It was because of his son's cooperation with the Zhou people that Yinshang was destroyed.
Why did everyone betray him?
Di Xin slammed his fist on the city wall and roared,"Er 'Lai! What was the crime of defecting to the enemy and betraying the country?”
Di Xin's roar stunned everyone. Zi Jiao and Zi Hong were even more in disbelief." Father, you, you want to kill us?”
"We're your children!"
At this moment, Er 'Lai knelt down and pleaded,""Emperor, spare the prince. After all, they are your sons! Let them atone for their sins!"
"Emperor! Spare the prince!"
The soldiers knelt down one after another. They could not bear to see the most respected emperor personally punish his son.
This would make Di Xin collapse!
All the slaves and civilians remembered how well Di Xin treated them. They didn't want Di Xin to suffer like this.
At this moment, Wei Zi laughed out loud. He felt that he would not be able to escape today. Di Xin would never let him off. Bi Qian was a good example for him.
Now, no one would plead for him, so he wanted to make Di Xin suffer even more!
"Zishou, aren't you Di Xin? Didn't you say that you wanted severe punishment?”
"What's wrong? Your own son betrayed the country, and you're going to let him go?”
"Didn't you say that nobles are guilty of the same crime as slaves?”
"Or do you say one thing and do another? Bullsh * t severe punishment!"
Wei Zi laughed maniacally. He hated the person who stole his throne to the bone!
"Bastard, believe it or not, I will kick your balls!”Er 'Lai was furious. Wei Zi was going to stab a knife into Di Xin's heart!
At this moment, all the soldiers wanted to strangle this beast to death. They were still thinking of how to defeat the Zhou army with Di Xin's lead. How could they let Di Xin be distracted?
"Emperor, don't listen to his nonsense! Let the prince go, we all agree! No one said no." Fei Zhong also walked out and knelt on the ground, pleading with Di Xin.
"Xin! Please, let them go!" At this time, Empress Jiang also rushed over. She could not believe that her son had betrayed his father.
However, how could she watch Di Xin kill her son? She hugged Di Xin's leg and begged him.
"Xin! Zi Jiao, Zi Hong is still young and insensible. Let them off this time!”Daji also dared to come and knelt down to beg for mercy. She did not want to see Di Xin personally execute his own children.
She was afraid that Di Xin wouldn't be able to take this blow. When she was in the Southeast, she saw the most vulnerable side of Di Xin.
Dixin Yangtian roared in anger. He punched the city wall again and again. His hands were bleeding, but he felt the pain.
"Why? Can't you guys fight for it?”
"Why did you have to betray your country?”
"How do you want me to spare you? If I spare you, how can I face the people of Yinshang, how can I face the foundation of our ancestors? Where is the law?"
Di Xin's eyes were bloodshot. He pointed at his two sons and said word by word,""Zi Jiao, Zi Hong, treason! You should be killed!"
When Emperor Xin shouted that he wanted to kill the two princes, Empress Jiang collapsed to the ground as if her soul had been extracted.
"Please forgive the prince!"
At this moment, the people of Zhaoge City rushed over to plead for the two princes.
Empress Jiang's hope was rekindled as she begged,""Xin! Just pardon them from the death penalty!”
" What?" Di Xin laughed bitterly and roared," If the crime of treason can be pardoned, who will protect our country?!"”
"If we let them go, then everyone can betray the country!”
"Even if you are a prince, no, even if I, Di Xin, am a traitor, my crime is unforgivable!”
Di Xin's eyes turned red from the pain and anger. On one side was his country, on the other was his family, on the other was the law, and on the other was love!
It was impossible to have both.
If he pardoned his son who had betrayed his country today, who else could he use severe punishment to restrain afterwards?
If the crime of treason could be pardoned, what other crime could not be pardoned?
The authority of the laws of the Shang Dynasty instantly vanished.
The difficulty of reform was to move the powerful. The difficulty of reform was that it might go against their loved ones!
At this moment, Zi Jiao was finally on the verge of exploding. He raised his bronze sword and roared crazily,"
"Di Xin, you actually want to implement your harsh laws and won't even let your own children off. You won't even give me a chance to change!”
"Di Xin, you are not worthy of being my father. I hate you, and I hate that I am your son!”
"Didn't you want me to die? I'll die for you!"
With the last of his despair, Zi Jiao stabbed his sword into his heart! He stared at Di Xin with the most venomous gaze as if he wanted to eat Di Xin up!
"No, I can't! Jiao 'er!"
Empress Jiang could not accept this blow at all and fainted.
Di Xin's body shook, and his eyes were bloodshot.
He rushed forward and held his son's body that was about to fall, hugging him tightly in his arms.
At that moment, his heart was in extreme pain. His hands were trembling as he closed Zi Jiao's eyes.
"Ah!"
Di Xin roared in pain. He couldn't tell anyone else about his pain.
"Under the yellow stage, when the melons are ripe, the seeds are separated. Once picked, the melons are good!”
Di Xin felt frustrated and blood trickled down the corner of his mouth.
The surroundings were deathly silent. Everyone looked at the scene in disbelief. They thought that Di Xin would take advantage of the situation and let the two princes go.
However, he did not expect Di Xin to really execute his own son!
In the slave society where punishments were not given to doctors, the impact on people's minds was like an earthquake.
At this moment, the theocracy nobles were so scared that they collapsed on the ground, their pants wet.
"I don't want to die. Get out of the way, get out of the way!”
When Zi Hong saw his brother commit suicide, he screamed in horror and waved his bronze sword crazily, wanting to kill a bloody path and leave this place.
However, he couldn't escape at all. He held his sword with both hands in despair and begged with a sobbing tone,"Father, I'm your son. Can't you let me go?”
At this moment, Di Xin was in a daze. He turned his head and looked at Zi Hong. He said hatefully,"
"Why?"
"Didn't I warn you to remember that you are the princes of the Shang Dynasty? But you turned around and defected to the enemy!”
"How can I let you off?"
Di Xin roared.
Zi Hong's hands that were holding the sword were trembling as he cried,"
"Father, let me explain. Jiang Ziya and his men aren't here to attack Chaoge!”
"Yes, Jiang Ziya said that they are helping us to become emperors. Yinshang is still Yinshang. I did not betray the country.”
Zi Hong tried his best to defend himself. As long as it was not treason, he could still live.
"Idiot!"
Di Xin raised his hand and sent Zi Hong flying with a slap. He cursed,
"Has the greed of human nature really made you lose your basic judgment?”
"Jiang Ziya, isn't it beautiful for Ji Fa to become the emperor himself? Why should I leave it to you?"
At this moment, Zi Hong's mouth was bleeding from the beating. His combat strength was on a completely different level from Di Xin's. He held the sword like a fire stick.
He threw away the bronze sword and hugged Di Xin's leg, begging,""Father, I beg you, let me go. Just this once!”
"You can even cripple me as a slave, as long as you don't kill me. I'm afraid!”
As Zi Hong spoke, he suddenly felt a cold pain spreading from his heart. He looked at Di Xin in disbelief and said,"Father, I'm in so much pain. I'm so cold. I don't want to die."
A cold Emperor Sword pierced through Zi Hong's body.
Di Xin hugged Zi Hong as tears rolled down his cheeks. He murmured,
" Hong 'er, you won't be cold soon. You won't be in pain soon. Go to sleep, go to sleep."
"Just treat this as a dream."
Di Xin hugged his son tightly. Two streams of blood flowed out of his eyes. He blamed himself and punched his own heart.
"It's me. I didn't do a good job as a father!”
"It was me who only cared about fighting all day and didn't have time to teach you. That's why you were deceived. It's all my fault, it's all my fault!”
At this moment, Di Xin was filled with guilt.
"When the melons are ripe, the seeds are separated.”
"Emperor!" At this moment, Er 'Lai cried. He punched the ground again and again. He wanted to share Di Xin's pain, but there was nothing he could do.
For the sake of his country, this supreme being in the mortal world was too pitiful!
"Emperor!"
At this moment, all the people of Yinshang knelt down, tears streaming down their faces.
Daji's heart ached as tears rolled down her beautiful face. She did not know how to comfort her man.
No one could understand Di Xin's sadness and grief at this moment.
The most precious thing in an emperor's family was kinship, and what they could not care about the most was kinship.
The laws of the country were in front, and kinship was behind!
Loyalty and filial piety cannot be both!
At this moment, a crazed laugh rang out,"
"Di Xin, you deserve this! Was it comfortable to personally execute his own son? Happy? Is it satisfying?"
"Is this the revolution you want? You reap what you sow!"
Everyone was instantly enraged. They turned around and saw the arrogant Wei Zi.
"Bastard! Are you still human?"
The people of Yinshang were furious. It was this traitor who betrayed Yinshang and bewitched the prince. He still had the face to laugh!
Er 'Lai was enraged and charged towards Wei Zi like a violent bear.
