C197 Dust's End
"You!" Sima Ling was so angry that he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Sima Ling, did you receive a secret letter from the Imperial Uncle? On it, it says that the rebellion in Qi Country has been released?" Hsing Zheng's face was full of sunshine.
"Could it be?" Sima Ling immediately wanted to rush forward, but luckily, he was suppressed by the Imperial Palace Guards.
Hsing Zheng still took a few steps back symbolically, pretending to be scared. "You are not too stupid!" Hsing Zheng nodded. "That letter was written by me using the Imperial Uncle's handwriting."
Sima Ling immediately lost his arrogance and went limp.
"Actually, there was a riot in Qi Country, but it was suppressed by my father a long time ago. Father sending me to the Qi Country Imperial Court was just a smokescreen. If you want to blame me, you can only blame yourselves. You think too highly of yourself. Right now, the Imperial Uncle is probably locked up in a prison by iron chains. As for the spies you arranged in Qi Country and Great Yan, I have also investigated them thoroughly during this period of time in Great Yan. Whatever I want you to know, you will know!"
Hsing Zheng shook off the fan in his hand, "However, if I can deceive this fox, I will need more Zhen'an King to cover for me. He also had Princess Renxi's help. Otherwise, with just my strength alone, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort."
" Report! "A soldier from the front suddenly barged in.
"Speak!" Duan Shuang looked at the Emperor and nodded towards that soldier.
"General Ouyang has already led a hundred thousand troops to the north at noon and is currently in a stalemate with the Wei Yuan!"
"How is that possible!" Sima Ling once again suffered a heavy blow. "Where did the horse come from? I poisoned the horse you bought from Tumeng! "Sima Ling struggled with all his might." Duan Shuang! "
That day, when Kumeng entered Great Yan, the rest station was not far from Ouyang Lingfeng's military camp. The reason Duan Shuang let Ouyang Lingfeng go to the northwest military camp was to train his ability to lead troops. Secondly, he had already secretly built a military factory in the northwest, where eighty thousand soldiers of the Long Howl Army were hidden. An army that had long been approved by the Emperor and directly belonged to Zhen'an King and Duan Shuang. The remaining 20 thousand troops were deliberately seized by the Emperor previously.
Putting aside whether there were brave and good generals, just in terms of numbers, Great Yan would definitely win this battle!
Ouyang Lingfeng had previously followed Duan Shuang to kill enemies many times and secretly built military merits. He was long enough to be a general, but Ouyang Lingfeng had always insisted on playing the game. He only wanted to be nameless and unrighteous. Duan Shuang had previously used the name of punishing him to send him to the northwest. He wanted him to be justified and make plans for today.
"You will definitely lose this battle from the beginning! Because eight years ago, I realized your existence. As long as a spy is detected by others, it means that you have failed! "
" Then why didn't you just execute me? Why did you take such a big detour? " Sima Ling was unwilling to accept this.
"I naturally want you to make the most of your value!" After he finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Cong and said, "Borrowing the power of the enemy to eradicate the rotten people of Great Yan, isn't that bad?"
"Zhen'an King, spare my life! Uncle knows his mistake!" Jiang Cong was once again shocked by Duan Shuang's gaze, "Emperor, I dare not do it again!"
"Suppress!" The Emperor suddenly gave the order.
Just as the sun was about to rise, the Empress Dowager personally hurried from her chambers to the throne room. At this moment, the Emperor, Duan Shuang and the other ministers were sorting out the details of the Palace Rebellion.
"The Empress Dowager has arrived!" The voice of the Outer Head Palace person was like the cry of a chicken as it cut through the early morning sky.
"Mother has indeed come." The Emperor helplessly shook his head.
"This is within expectations." Duan Shuang raised his eyes.
When the various officials present saw this and were about to request their farewells, the Emperor immediately shouted for them to stop. "There is nothing to avoid. All of you can stay here."
"Yes!" With the decree, all the ministers retreated to the side.
The empress dowager entered the hall in a rush and even specially made the empress dowager submit.
When the Emperor Gan and Duan Shuang saw this, they could not help but frown.
"The Emperor should know why Aijia came, Aijia will not beat around the bush." The moment the Empress Dowager entered, she saw that several important officials of the court were present and even put on a few airs.
"If Empress is here to plead for Jiang Cong, then there is no need to say anymore. This matter concerns the politics of the court. It is not suitable for the people in the harem to be involved in politics!"
"Good! Then Aijia must listen to how the Emperor is going to deal with it!" The Empress Dowager used all her strength and her body could not help but sway a little. If it was not for wet nurse Xi supporting her by her side, the Empress Dowager would definitely have fallen to the ground.
"Jiang Cong's crime is monstrous. It is not an exaggeration to sentence him to a death sentence!"
Even though the Empress Dowager's body was supported by wet nurse Xi, she still couldn't help but tremble.
"As for the entire Jiang family, they have committed nine consecutive crimes. Those who participated in the rebellion, Ling Chi, did not participate. The men were not even twelve, and they were exiled to the wilderness. They were twelve, and they were sentenced to death after spring. All the women were sent to the military camp."
" The Emperor might as well kill Aijia as well! "The empress dowager's turbid breath was stuck in her heart. They were going to wipe out the entire Jiang family!
"Mother is a member of the imperial family and is no longer a member of the Jiang family. Why bother forcing her again?"
"Emperor, aren't you too ruthless by doing this?"
"Mother, in front of the law, how can there be any favors? If Zhen were to let the Jiang family go so easily, would he announce it to the world? Under Zhen's rule, under the Duan Clan's rule, anyone can come and take it? Mother, is your heart for the royal family or the Jiang family? "
" But he is your uncle after all! The Jiang family is after all the mother race of you and Xun Er! "
"Mother, when the Jiang family initiated the Palace Transformation, did you ever think that he is my mother race?"
The empress dowager was speechless.
"If the Palace Transformation is successful, the empire of Great Yan will be changed to Jiang." The Emperor stared fiercely at the Empress Dowager, and no longer had any feelings of mother-son relationship.
"This, is this the situation that Mother hopes to see?"
Being framed like this, the Empress Dowager naturally immediately denied, "Aijia did not..."
"Since there is no such thing, Empress Dowager also does not need to argue with Zhen! Just now, Zhen was thinking about the relationship between mother and son. That was why he did not blame the empress dowager for her slip of the tongue. He did not mind the fact that you, a member of the harem, had trespassed into the throne room. But if the empress dowager is still so muddle-headed, then don't blame Zhen for not being courteous! "
"Your Majesty!"
"The Empress Dowager does not need to say anything. " The Emperor raised his head and his gaze no longer lingered on the Empress Dowager. "The Empress Dowager is suffering from hysterical disorder. From today onwards, she will properly recuperate in the Cixi Palace. If there is nothing else, don't come out to avoid aggravation of her illness!"
"You!" The empress dowager was still so angry that she was unable to say a word.
"All of you are here. Regarding this, do you feel that Zhen's choice was wrong?" The Emperor immediately turned his head and asked the important officials at the side.
"The Emperor is wise!"
"What are you still standing there for? Quickly send the Empress Dowager back to the Ci Yu Palace?" The Emperor immediately ordered people to send the Empress Dowager out of the throne room.
"Immediately summon Imperial Physician to the Ci Yu Palace to wait!" Duan Shuang suddenly added.
After dawn, the evil deeds of Jiang Cong, Sima Ling, and the others were immediately spread across the world. All the main criminals had died in public at noon. In a single day, the once prosperous Jiang Clan withered and fell into ruin.
