The Road to Survival of the Cannon Fodder

"General Rong's return from victory is a great joy, and I should have rewarded him a lot," Jing Chen looked at the young man who was wiping his hands carefully, and then changed his voice: "But someone gave me something, and I don't know what the general did. How do you explain it?"

The manager put the things on the tray and handed them to Shen Zixun. Shen Zixun raised his hand to take them over, glanced at them and threw them aside.

"Your Majesty is wise, this is nothing more than a villain slandering a lowly minister, it's too much to do."

Seeing that the boy's reaction should be nothing, everyone is at ease. Tonight is probably just a warning and nothing will happen.Unexpectedly, after circulating this letter, everyone's face changed drastically. All of them are charged with fatal crimes. The emperor has decided to attack the young man!

Jing Chen was very annoyed by the young man's attitude, "So, General Rong won't admit it?"

"Of course I don't admit to things I haven't done."

The emperor laughed out of breath, "Okay then, call your lieutenant up, let's get to know each other once and for all."

Everyone waited on pins and needles, seeing that Rong Rang was still drinking tea slowly, they all sighed in their hearts.The general naively thought that he had nothing to do if he hadn't done anything, but he didn't know that the emperor wanted him to die, and there were thousands of reasons.

"My humble minister, Lu Quan, kowtow to the emperor."

"Pingshen!" Seeing Lu Quan, the emperor couldn't help sneering in his heart.What about the ever-victorious general?In the end, it wasn't that he couldn't even keep his lieutenant general. "Then tell me what you said to me, and say it again in front of all your lovers!"

"According to the order!"

"I have been with the general for many years, and I have seen the general go from being unknown to the great military exploits. At the beginning, the general really devoted himself to serving the country, but as time went on, his heart became bigger and bigger. Slowly, he coveted the throne and began to pull Forming a faction to disturb the court. Those letters were found by the general from the general's study with his own hands, and there is absolutely no falsehood."

Everyone stole glances at Shen Zixun, and the young man listened to Lu Quan's words with a smile. His demeanor was admirable.But as soon as these words came out, the boy was really placed on the edge of the cliff, in a dilemma.

Jing Chen's face was pained, but his eyes were filled with joy, "What else do you have to say?"

Shen Zixun was about to speak, but was interrupted by Lu Quan, "My Majesty, I have not finished my speech."

Jing Chen glanced at Lu Quan in surprise, but Lu Quan kept his head down and did not meet the Emperor's gaze.

"The above words were told by the emperor to Weichen!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar, and Jing Chen was furious instantly, "Lu Quan!"

Jing Xian said at the right time: "Your Majesty! You should let him finish his sentence!"

Lu Quan continued: "The emperor has been murderous towards the general for many days. As early as a year ago, he wanted to take advantage of the general's resistance to the edict to deal with the general, but he did not succeed. So the emperor asked Wei Chen to fabricate these words and letters. , the purpose is to put the general to death."

Jing Chen was so angry that he couldn't speak, so he picked up the dishes at hand and threw them at Lu Quan who was kneeling.

Shen Zixun raised his head, his eyes were moist, and his voice was a little hoarse, "Your Majesty, do you really want to treat this humble minister like this?"

Jing Chen choked, and said angrily, "It's nothing! It's Lu Quan, a dog slave, who came to me to talk nonsense! Otherwise, how could I doubt you!"

Jing Xian answered the conversation again, and asked Lu Quan: "Do you have evidence to prove that your words are true?"

Lu Quan's voice was choked up, "I have no evidence to prove it. But my thirteen members are in the hands of the emperor. No matter what happens today, I am afraid that I and my family will not be able to survive."

Everyone took a deep breath, the emperor's method is so cruel.

Jing Chen stared at Lu Quan with dark eyes, wishing to crush him immediately.The scene that should have dealt with the confidant's serious trouble did not appear, but instead caused a commotion.

Jing Chen softened his tone and said to the young man, "I really don't know about this. You have known me for many years, so you don't know how I treat you?"

Shen Zixun's eye circles were red, but he obviously believed the emperor's words, which made everyone anxious, even those who looked down on Rong Rong felt sorry for the young man.

Jing Chen secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but he didn't want the accident to happen suddenly. Lu Yongcong took out a secret order from his bosom, which was written by the emperor to Lu Quan. , And look for an opportunity to pour debilitating poison into the young man's tea.

The emperor's jade seal was clearly printed, and this was a solid proof. Jing Chen's face was bluish and white, and he was speechless for a moment.

Shen Zixun opened his eyes wide as if he couldn't bear it, and finally fell to his knees, weeping uncontrollably.

A group of ministers also looked at me and you, but no one spoke, and the scene fell into embarrassment for a while.

At this moment, Jing Lian stood up slowly, looking extremely abrupt among the crowd of people who were sitting or kneeling.

"When the late emperor was alive, he gave this king a secret decree. This king thought that he would never need it in his lifetime. It seems that today is the time to take it out."

After hearing this, everyone was in shock, why didn't they know there was a secret decree?

Jing Xian unhurriedly pulled out the hairpin, twisted it with both hands, and the hairpin broke.Jing Chen turned pale when he saw this, and had a bad premonition in his heart.

Jing Xian poured out the secret decree and began to read: "In the name of Emperor Chengyun, I will perform the duty of supervising the new emperor in the name of Emperor Chengyun. If there is any stupidity or immorality, I have the right to change the law of the new emperor. Hereby."

After the decree was read out, everyone was sweating profusely, especially Emperor Chengze's face was the most ugly.

"It's nonsense! It is impossible for the emperor to make such a will! Absolutely impossible!"

Jing Xian lowered his eyes and said: "Of course you can tell the truth from the false. It's not the emperor who says it's false. It's stupid to deceive loyal ministers, and it's immoral to harm uncles. I don't know whether what the humble minister said is right or wrong?"

Jing Chen stared at Jing for a few breaths, then suddenly smiled, "So what if it's true? Apart from me, the Cheng Kingdom's royal family has long since lost an heir. After making such a move, could it be that you want to ascend the throne?"

Jing Xun was unmoved, "So the emperor admits that he is fatuous and immoral?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone wiped off their sweat.They can be seen that the prince is well prepared for today.

Jing Chen didn't speak, just looked at Jing Xian.

Jing Xun continued: "As for the throne, nephew don't have to worry about it, and nephew Jing Xun, right?"

Hearing these words, Jing Chen finally lost his expression, and said hoarsely, "Jing Xun? Shouldn't he be dead long ago! Where did he come from again! Dare to pretend to be the throne, I cut him alive!"

Jing Chen with this appearance is really scary, showing a little madness.

One sentence caused an uproar. Under Jing Chen's deliberate influence, people had gradually ignored Jing Xun. This time, Jing Xun only remembered that Jing Xun also had the right to inherit the throne. Revealing Jing Xun's recent situation, is it "should have died long ago"?

It is tolerable for brothers to fight each other when competing for the throne, but it is not as good as a beast to kill brothers after ascension to the throne!Let alone a four-year-old child.Is such a person really worth being loyal to?This doubt flashed through everyone's mind.

Jing Chen acted as if he didn't notice the faces of other people, and still shouted at Jing Xun, as if Jing Xun would be hacked to death here.

Slowly, some people began to kneel down to Jing Xian, "Follow the late emperor's will!"

With the beginning, people began to follow one after another, "Follow the last emperor's will!"

In the end, only the weeping boy, the prince holding the will, and the mad "emperor" remained.

Jing Xun cast a glance at the young man who was still crying, and announced loudly: "The new emperor, Jing Chen, is fatuous and immoral. He follows the last emperor's will and establishes a new emperor! Jing Xun, a son of the royal family, is the best candidate! !"

"The former emperor was wise!"
