Chapter 310 All Executed
"Your Majesty, the Chen family has been working for you and the late emperor all these years. If the Regent punishes the Chen family, it
means that he does not take you seriously!" Chen Chu had no other choice. He had to tie the Chen family and the emperor to a rope.
Now this group of people is like a rope tied around their waists, and they all fell off the cliff together, with only the emperor still on the edge of the cliff.
The others knew that they were not going to survive, and they wanted to cut the rope directly to get rid of the people at the bottom.
In this way, his chances of survival would be much greater.
However, what Chen Chu didn't know was that his position as emperor was not stable.
Even his life and death depended on the Regent's thoughts.
There were more beads of sweat on Ling Changyue's forehead, and his palms became a little slippery.
He turned his head coldly and scolded Chen Chu in a low voice: "Shut up, you have no right to speak here!"
Seeing the little emperor's handsome face was dark, Chen Chu didn't dare to say a word.
Ling Fengxun looked at the reactions of the people, his eyes were calm, as if he was watching a farce.
"Pass on my order to arrest the Chen family and put them all in jail."
Chen Chu's face changed drastically.
Even Kong Jiaojiao was panicked.
She had finally climbed up to the Chen family, how could the Chen family be finished?
Zhao Jun had been pulled up from the ground, but his hands were tied behind his back, and his face was covered with dust and blood.
That was when his cheek was pressed against the ground and it was scratched.
Although it was very cruel, he felt inexplicably happy when he saw the end of Kong Jiaojiao and Chen Chu.
Since we are going to die, let's die together!
Some guards came in from outside and dragged Chen Chu up from the ground.
He shouted in panic and asked the emperor for help: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, save the Chen family, save the Chen family"
However, the little emperor he called did not turn back to look at him, as if he wanted to abandon his Chen family.
Ling Changyue stood in front of Ling Fengxun with his head lowered and his hands clenched into fists, without asking for mercy.
Ling Fengxun then withdrew his gaze from him.
In the lobby, Kong Jiaojiao and the child were also taken away because they belonged to the Chen family. The woman was stunned when she left, obviously she did not expect such an ending.
Only Zhao Jun was left there.
He was so heartbroken that he killed people. His current state was very strange. His eyes were dead and there was no emotion. His
eyes were dark and there was no light. Even when he spoke, he was weak.
Ling Fengxun said to the person beside him: "Give him pen and ink, let him write the names!"
"Yes!"
The guards in the mansion came over, put the paper, pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the ground, and the people who were holding Zhao Jun let go of his hand and asked him to kneel on the ground to write the list.
Ling Changyue also turned around and stared at Zhao Jun's hands, and saw the clattering sound of his teeth biting, but it was useless and could not stop him from finding those hidden stakes.
This was a method that the late emperor had prepared for several years, and he had started to arrange it since Ling Fengxun had not returned to the imperial city.
But now, he had no idea what went wrong, because of Zhao Jun, everything was lost!
The key is, how was Zhao Jun exposed?
Even if Ling Fengxun heard rumors and guessed what he had done recently, or knew that there was a traitor on the border, why did he catch Zhao Jun?
What a coincidence!
The other four generals who rushed back from the borders paid the most attention to this list, staring at Zhao Jun's hand.
Until he wrote down the first name.
Li Nianwen.
When General He saw this name, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Isn't this the lieutenant under my command?"
As Zhao Jun wrote down the second name, even the rest of the people were all stunned.
Although these people's official positions in the army are not very high, they all have a lot of soldiers under their command, and they can be regarded as a considerable force when put together.
If the critical moment really comes, if these people under their command do not obey the order, the consequences will be unimaginable.
As Zhao Jun wrote down more and more names, the hearts of the generals were chilled.
In just a few years, the late emperor had planted so many hidden stakes in the military camp. It was terrifying to think about it carefully.
It seems that transferring the prince away from the border was to facilitate the late emperor to regain control of the military power. Seeing that these small figures were useless, these border generals were loyal to Ling Fengxun and were difficult to be turned against.
Only Zhao Jun was an exception among exceptions.
This group of high-level generals had fought with the prince for nearly ten years, and they were all in a life-and-death relationship.
Afterwards, no one spoke.
There was only the sound of the pen tip scratching on the paper.
Everyone's heart became cold and heavy at this moment, and their expressions were also extremely solemn.
Half an hour later, more than a hundred names were written.
Someone brought the list to Ling Fengxun, who gave the order without even looking at it.
"General He, the people on the list will be identified after investigation. If they were arranged by the late emperor, they will all be executed."
"Yes!"
Under such circumstances, Ling Fengxun could not afford to be soft-handed.
Moreover, Ling Fengxun was always strict in managing the army.
Otherwise, he would not have won so many battles where the outnumbered defeated the larger force.
Strict military rules have always been the iron rule set by Ling Fengxun when he was in the army, and no one was allowed to cross the bottom line.
After Zhao Jun finished writing, he did not put down his pen. He raised his head, looked at Ling Fengxun with bloodshot eyes, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness, the Emperor intends to let me make your master's affairs public, saying that the reason you lost the battle when you first became his disciple was because you revealed military secrets."
Ling Fengxun's face was calm at this time, and all his anger was hidden in his dark blue eyes.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and extremely cold words uttered from his thin lips, "That means that you and the emperor already know the true identity of my master?"
Zhao Jun recalled for a moment, and then said: "I once secretly followed your master, and happened to meet him talking with the enemy general. At that time, the other party knelt in front of your master and was extremely respectful. It was obvious that your master must be a relatively important figure in the Southern Qi Kingdom. At that time, your master discovered me, and your master let me go because of my relationship with the prince."
Ling Fengyan raised his eyebrows.
Even he didn't know about this.
Jun Wuce taught him for three years, and when the three years were up, he disappeared.
As for where he went, he arranged for people to look for him, but there was no trace. It is very likely that the name the other party told him was false.
Now that he heard these words from Zhao Jun, he even felt that his guess made some sense. Jun Wuce must have something to do with Southern Qi
