Zhang Yantong could see very clearly that as long as Zhang didn't commit suicide, he would be able to enjoy Chen Yuan's wealth in the future, and what he is doing now is to increase his future wealth.

They are desperate, but some priests of the court are unwilling to do so.

The main reason why they serve the imperial court is for the various resources needed for their cultivation, but now that the imperial court is obviously in decline, why should they work hard?

That is to say, Cao Zhengxian and Sima You paid a higher price to ask them to stay, otherwise, they would have left after the Battle of Zijin Mountain.

But if they stay, they will stay, and they can't do their best.

Therefore, the balance of victory quickly tilted towards Zhang Yantong's side, and the tilting speed became faster and faster, when the first priest fled the battlefield.

It also completely declared the collapse of Cao Zhengxian's side.

"boom!!!"

A thunderclap resounded through the sky, and Cao Zhengxian was knocked into the ground from the void by Xiao Jing's blow, kicking up a cloud of dust several feet high, followed by Cao Zhengxian's coughing.

"Cough cough..."

Cao Zhengxian's face turned pale, and the aura on his body quickly faded. Even if he was the Burning Primordial Spirit, he was still no match for Xiao Jing.

"Cao Yigou, have you ever thought about today?"

Xiao Jing looked down at the old eunuch from above, the grievances between Xuntiansi and Huangjiansi had a long history, if it weren't for the emperor's suppression.

They killed the old eunuch long ago.

"Xiao Jing, you traitorous minister!"

Cao Zhengxian gritted his teeth, and stared fixedly at the figure standing in the sky above, hating only his own lack of strength, he could only watch this Dajin civil strife again.

And he also had a vague premonition that this civil strife would lead to the complete demise of Dajin.

"You, a sycophant who is next to the king, a dog, is also worthy of saying that I am a traitor and a traitor. If you hadn't committed murder for the late emperor, how could there be today's disaster?"

"Shut up, are you worthy of criticizing the late emperor?"

Cao Zhengxian's face was ferocious, and his veins were bulging:

"If the late emperor hadn't failed, our Great Jin Dynasty would have been rejuvenated in the hands of the late emperor. This governor only regrets that Chen Yuan was not cut into pieces by thousands of knives to refine his soul!"

He did not agree with Jingtai's method of blood sacrifice, but he also knew in his heart that if it remained the same in today's era, then the Great Jin would still not be able to change the fate of its demise.

The emperor just advanced this time.

Therefore, Cao Zhengxian still respects Jingtai.

"Since that's the case, then go down and accompany the late emperor."

Xiao Jing raised his hand and waved it abruptly.

A ray of light fell directly on Cao Zhengxian's body. Instead of resisting, he opened his arms, as if he was still looking forward to this scene, since Da Jin was doomed to perish.

Then... it's best not to let him see it.

He started as a young eunuch, followed the emperors of the Sima family, and received the favor of the emperor. Now, he finally went down to see the emperors of the past.

Cao Zhengxian died, he died very quickly, and it was a bit tragic.

The primordial spirit was broken up by Xiao Jingsheng, leaving only a complete body.

Especially in today's scene, it is more like a courtier loyal to the Sima clan who is loyal to the country. On the other hand, Sima Ke himself will be a thief who lures wolves into the house.

He stood in front of Cao Zhengxian's body and looked at it for a long time before slowly looking away.

Accompanied by the death of Cao Zhengxian and the retreat of other royal family members, Sima Ke's party immediately surrounded the second prince Sima You in the Golden Palace with an overwhelming advantage.

The swords were shining coldly, and Sima You sent a young eunuch to tell Sima Ke that he hoped to come in and have a talk with him. He had some last words to say.

After Sima Ke asked Princess Pingyang's opinion, he finally agreed. Xiao Jing scanned it with his spiritual sense and confirmed that Sima You was indeed the only one inside.

There was no other ambush, and with Sima Ke's cultivation, he could easily catch Sima You, who had no cultivation.

Under the eyes of everyone, Sima Ke pushed open the gate of the Jinluan Hall, and at a glance, he saw Sima You in the center of the front, wearing a dragon robe and sitting on a dragon chair.

Turn around and close the door.

Sima Ke walked towards the high platform step by step, and said as he walked:

"Second brother, you are not the emperor yet, how can you wear a dragon robe? This is a capital crime."

Sima You looked down at Sima Ke who was gradually climbing up the steps, and chuckled lightly:

"My father is dead, so what if I wear this dragon robe? It's a pity that this is the first and last time I wear it. Hehe, I really don't want to part with it."

"It doesn't matter, as the emperor's younger brother, after you die, second brother, I can order you to be put into the coffin with a dragon robe." Sima Ke smiled nonchalantly.

"So generous?"

Sima Ke didn't answer. In his heart, the Sima family was about to perish, and it didn't matter if he let his second brother live the emperor's addiction. Anyway, he would be the king of subjugation in the end.

"Second brother asked me to come, what last words do you want to say?"

"Fourth brother, if the second brother said that at the moment you surrounded the imperial city, I ordered everyone not to resist, would you believe it?" Sima You looked at Sima Ke seriously.

"why?"

Sima Ke didn't say whether he believed it or not, he just asked why, he was very curious.

"Actually, it's really meaningless to be the emperor or not. The reason why I have come to this point is that the people below pushed me step by step. I had to do so.

After the death of the father, our Great Jin will not have much strength left. Why do we need to have another civil strife and make our Sima family weak again?It's a pity that Eunuch Cao is unwilling.

He forcibly crossed over and gave orders for me. "

"Where does he have the courage, a domestic slave, to dare to devour the master?"

Sima Ke asked casually.

"Hehe, Eunuch Cao wanted to take the initiative to ask for death. After the death of the emperor, he had such thoughts, but he was worried about the foundation of our Sima clan."

"A slave, he's worried about his master..." Sima Ke sneered.

"Hey, after all, Eunuch Cao also died in battle. Fourth brother, you should keep some morals. No matter what, he is loyal to our Sima clan. It is inappropriate to say these things."

Sima You shook his head.

"Is this what the second brother said?"

"Of course not. I want to tell you that I didn't lose to you, but to Pingyang Huangjie. I didn't expect her to have so many back-ups. Maybe, she also wanted to become the king of the world. The first empress of the world."

"I don't object to this sentence. In fact, I can fight against you, second brother, because it is indeed Huang Jie who is behind the plan for me."

"Tsk, tell me, why don't I have a real sister?"

"Ha ha……"

"Okay, don't waste your time, fourth brother, over there is the confession letter I left behind, pushing all the crimes onto myself.

I am willing to bear all this, and I only hope...the fourth son, you can let our Sima family's 200-year-old foundation last as long as possible for a few more years.

Sima You said a lot, but most of them were exhortations, and as he spoke more and more, his voice became softer and dark blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Second brother, how does poison wine taste?"

Sima Ke asked curiously.

"It's okay...hehe...it's okay..." Sima You wiped the corner of his mouth, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and heaved a long sigh:

"I really didn't expect that our Sima family would fall into the hands of Chen Yuan. If there is a chance to do it again, I will use all means to strangle him..."

"Second brother."

"Ok?"

Sima Ke looked seriously at Sima You whose breath was gradually weakening, and said in a low voice:

"Your exhortation, I'm afraid I won't be able to agree to it."

"why?"

Sima You was full of surprise.

"Second brother, do you know who is driving me to this step, my brother?"

"Miss Pingyang?"

"No, it's Chen Yuan... It's he who asked Zhang Yantong, Xiao Jing and Li Yang to help me ascend the throne, guard Shenjing City and Zhongzhou for him, and use the name of our Sima family to become what my father wants to be. Kind of Emperor."

"You... what did you say?"

Sima You's eyes widened immediately, and the poisonous wine began to reverse rapidly.

"I didn't lie to you, really."

"puff……"

Sima You spat out a mouthful of old blood, full of unwillingness, and with the last of his strength, he roared angrily:

"If you do this, you are right... worthy of the ancestors of the Sima family, worthy of the ancestors of our Great Jin Dynasty, worthy of the father? He... he is the one who ruined my foundation in the Great Jin Dynasty!"

Sima You's voice resounded in the Golden Luan Hall, and he was also unsteady and fell to the ground, his eyes were full of unwillingness, and he wanted to strangle Sima Ke's neck.

He was willing to surrender and stop fighting, but he just wanted the court to preserve its strength, so that the Sima family could have a chance of revival in the future.

He knew Princess Pingyang's character, and felt that the two of them, the siblings, were much stronger than him.

But...he absolutely does not want the Sima family to be destroyed, the Great Jin Dynasty to be destroyed, let alone be destroyed by Chen Yuan, a traitorous official.

Sima Ke squatted in front of Sima You, heaved a sigh of relief, half crying, half smiling, and whispered:

"Second brother, I don't want to either, but I have no choice, I... I have a fucking thief as my father!"

……

Jin Jingtai ninth year, the sixth day of November.

The second son of the emperor, Sima You, was deceived by the treacherous minister Cao Zhengxian. He rebelled against and rebelled against him. On the day the traitor Cao Zhengxian's body was exposed, he shared food for the people in the capital.

The ninth year of Jingtai in the Jin Dynasty, the eighth day of November.

Sima Ke, the fourth son of the former emperor, rose up in the midst of the turmoil. It was what the people wanted, and all the officials obeyed. He officially ascended the throne as emperor.

On the day of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, the first decree he made was to apologize on behalf of his father and repent of the blood sacrifice. After discussion among the officials, Jingtai's posthumous title was designated as 'Ling'.

It's for, Emperor Ling of Jin!

Chapter 722 Return of the King!

Ling is definitely not a good posthumous title.

If Chen Yuan hadn't exposed Jingtai's blood sacrifice to millions of souls during the Battle of Zijin Mountain, neither the officials nor his son Sima Ke would have done such a thing.

After all, no matter what, Jingtai is also his father.

And to be honest, although Jingtai has been in power for decades, although he has not made any outstanding achievements, he has not made any major faults, and he even has very few concubines.

It has never been a major construction project.

At least he can get the posthumous title of Lord of the Mean.

However, it happened that Chen Yuan made his scandal public to the world, and he also produced conclusive evidence to prove that the public opinion in the world is now turbulent.

It is impossible to hide it.

Jingtai must and can only have this posthumous title.

After Sima Ke determined Jingtai's posthumous title, he quickly buried him in the imperial mausoleum. His body had long been destroyed in Chen Yuan's hands, and the only thing in the coffin was the dragon robe he wore. .

On the day of his burial, the people gathered to mourn and see the emperor off during the day, but at night, clusters of fireworks followed, illuminating the night sky of Shenjing City.

Here, there is no intention of banning release.

Of course, it's not appropriate either.

If someone else became the emperor, maybe the whole city would have a curfew, a big trip for the emperor, and the whole city would be vegetarian for three days to pay homage to the emperor.

But Sima Ke didn't. Although the courtiers below were excited to punish those unruly people, he just ignored them and let the fireworks explode in the city.

And his laissez-faire also caused Shenjing City to blow up almost all night on the night of Jingtai's death. It was not until dawn that no one dared to oppose the court.

The reason why these people did this was because they really hated the emperor too much, and the rest of their merits were nothing, but the day when the Emperor Zijinshan ascended the throne and watched the ceremony.

But it brings together nearly a million people.

Although some of them came from the other four prefectures of Zhongzhou, and even people from outside Zhongzhou came to watch the ceremony, but if we count them, most of them are the people of the capital.
