Chapter 299 Amnesty
In the dungeon, I saw Sima Qing walking slowly with Ran Min and the guards. Sima Qing looked at the Six Kings and started talking.

"Do you know your sin now?"

Before they could speak, Sima Lun rushed forward.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty! I am guilty!"

Seeing that Sima Lun had already bowed his head and surrendered, the few people on the side cast disdainful glances.

Sima Qing nodded and said to Ran Min.

"Let Sima Lun go, and take him out of the dungeon. I will pardon him from death, but he will be reduced to a commoner!"

Sima Qing's words dimmed Sima Lun's eyes. He used to be a prince, but now he was demoted to a commoner, but at least he survived. It might be better to be alive than to die.

"Sima Lun thanked His Majesty for not killing him!"

After speaking, Sima Lun kowtowed to Sima Qing.

Ran Min at the side gave the soldier beside him a look, and the soldier led Sima Lun out of the dungeon.

Then Sima Qing looked at the other five kings and asked.

"what about you?"

Sima Liang snorted, then spit at Sima Qing.

"Bah, the big deal is death. I made a plan to die before I came here. Girl, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

"Ha ha!"
Sima Qing smiled and said to Sima Liang.

"If you are willing to surrender to me, I can exonerate you from the crimes and demote you to common people just like Sima Lun did, but if you are stubborn, don't blame me for being cruel!"
Sima Yue and Sima Ying on the side also laughed.

"We started the incident together, and we are prepared for today's incident. It's just death, so why worry? The Jin Dynasty will eventually be destroyed by a woman!"

"Okay, a good sentence will eventually be destroyed in the hands of a woman! A good one will eventually be destroyed in the hands of a woman! Then you know, because of the Eight Kings Rebellion, the people of the Jin Dynasty will be slaughtered by the barbarians, and the common people will have no means of living , and you! But you only think about fighting for power and position, and don’t care about the life and death of the people! The Immortal Nie Feng has given you a revelation, but you don’t care at all. Nothing? Since you have decided to do so, then don't blame me for not remembering the old love! Come on!"
When Sima Qing gave an order, hundreds of heavily armed soldiers rushed in from outside the dungeon. These soldiers held bows and arrows, and the arrows were covered with poison.

"Come on!"
Sima Qing drank again.

"His Majesty!"
Several officers walked towards Sima Qing.

"kill!"
"Yes!"
Just as the soldiers were about to step forward, King Sima Jiong of Qi and Sima Ai, King of Changsha, shouted.

"Your Majesty, we know we are wrong! We know we are wrong! It was Sima Liang, Sima Ying and Sima Yue who instigated us to rebel, Your Majesty! We are guilty! Please let us go!"

Seeing what Sima Jiong and Sima Ai said, the remaining three were very angry, and they went up and kicked them.

Sima Qing smiled and said to Ran Min.

"Bring them out and demote them to common people."

Ran Min replied.

"Yes!"

Then, he ordered people to pull away the three kings, and brought Sima Jiong and Sima Ai out.

Seeing Sima Jiong and Sima Ai who had come out of the cage, they knelt on the ground and thanked Sima Qing.

"Thank you for your grace of not killing! Thank you for your grace of not killing!"

With a wave of Sima Qing's hand, the soldiers took the two of them out.

Then Sima Qing looked at the remaining three people coldly.

"I intended to let you go, but the three of you are stubborn, come here, let's shoot."

Immediately, the soldiers responded.

"Yes!"
At this moment, only the Three Kings laughed, but Sima Qing ignored it.

Then the soldier shot out the arrow and shot it into the body of the three kings, and the three kings fell dead in an instant.

Ran Min and all the generals knelt down and congratulated.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for putting down the Rebellion of Eight Kings!"
"Ha ha!"
Sima Qing chuckled and waved his hands.

"Okay, get up, I'm tired, I'm going back to rest first, you all go back."
"Yes!"
The soldier received the order, then turned and left. After the soldier left, Ran Min came to Sima Qing.

"Your Majesty, I will send you back home."
Sima Qing nodded and said to Ran Min.

"General Ran, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings is over. We will return to Luoyang after the matter in Lin'an City is settled."

Ran Min nodded, and sent someone to send Sima Qing back.

When Sima Qing returned to the bedroom, he asked Xiao Chan to help him bathe and change clothes and fell asleep. The arrow wound was just right. Sima Qing felt tired at this moment, fell asleep on the bed and fell asleep after a while. In his dream, Sima Qing dreamed of himself He returned to the Heavenly Court with Shangxian Nie Feng, and there was a place he had never seen before.

Early the next morning, Sima Qing called for Ran Min and the ministers of Lin'an City.

Looking at the ministers in the hall, Sima Qing said.

"I thought about it and decided to amnesty the world today."

As soon as Sima Qing finished speaking, all the officials below were shocked.

"what?"
"Your Majesty actually..."
"Think twice, Your Majesty!"
Ministers stood up one by one, excitedly persuading.

Sima Qing looked at these people and continued with a sneer.

"I am the emperor now!"
The group of ministers fell silent after hearing Sima Qing's words.

Sima Qing looked at the expressions of the group of people and continued.

"Now that the Eastern Jin Dynasty has just been established, its foundation is not stable. Some officials dealt with in the Western Jin Dynasty before can be released if they are wronged or have no serious crimes. What to do or what to do."

Seeing what Sima Qing said, everyone nodded.

"Ran Aiqing, you will supervise this matter. I will arrange for someone to deal with it later."

Ran Min said respectfully.

"Chen Ranmin leads the decree!"

Sima Qing nodded and continued talking to the officials below.

"Also, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings has been put to rest. The fiefdoms previously occupied by the Eight Kings will now be unified. I have decided not to set up fiefdoms any more. All regions will be directly under the jurisdiction of the local magistrates. The magistrates will be under the unified management of the imperial court. In addition, the Eastern Jin Dynasty has just been established, and I feel that reducing taxes will save the people from increasing the burden. If necessary, the local government needs to support the local people to carry out local construction.”

All the ministers nodded in agreement, and seeing that they had no objections, Sima Qing asked someone to write the imperial decree and send it to various places.

Then, all the ministers knelt down and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty is holy!"

"Your Majesty is holy!"

Seeing all the ministers like this, Sima Qing nodded in relief.

After the imperial decree was promulgated, the people all over the place cheered and were very happy. They all thought that Sima Qing was a good emperor. Although Sima Qing was a woman, the people admired him very much.The news also reached Luoyang, but at this time Luoyang had no time to take care of it.
