Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family - Chapter 656 Suicide
Uncle Zhang has followed my father for many years and has always been my father's most capable subordinate.
On the battlefield, they are brothers, the closest relatives, and they can trust each other with their backs.
Uncle Zhang has blocked knives for my father countless times.
His father also rescued him from the iron cavalry and scimitars of the Northern Qi countless times.
They are brothers who trust each other with life and death.
Uncle Zhang watched her grow up. When her father was teaching her martial arts, he would occasionally come to see her father and give her some pointers.
Sometimes when he saw his father punishing her, Uncle Zhang would stop him and say, "General, Xiaowan is still a delicate girl. How can you teach a child like that?"
"Xiao Wan, come here, Uncle Zhang, let Uncle Zhang teach you martial arts, okay?"
"Oh, why are you still crying? It's okay, you just haven't learned this trick yet. Uncle Zhang will teach you later, and I guarantee that your father will be impressed."
"Xiao Wan is getting prettier and prettier."
"Hey, Xiao Wan, have you been practicing martial arts secretly? Even Uncle Zhang can't beat you."
"Little night..."
"Little night..."
No one will call her Xiao Wan anymore.
And he didn't know until his death that she was the Xiao Wan he mentioned.
If he knew that she was still alive, he would have fewer regrets.
……
In the imperial study, the young eunuch knelt on the ground, not knowing how to respond to the emperor.
He did not bring the Duke of Zhenguo and his two sons.
Emperor Jingzhang's face turned pale. Li Huaiying was so bold that he dared to disobey the emperor's order!
Is this a rebellion?
He swept everything on the imperial desk to the ground.
Ling Yan gave the young eunuch a stern look.
The young eunuch quickly crawled out.
Ling Yan bent down and picked up the memorials one by one.
He was actually grateful to the Duke of Zhenguo's family.
Without them, his son and his queen would have died.
Including himself.
However, he couldn't understand why his father did this.
Those five thousand people are the elite among the elite.
It is not easy to train such an invincible army.
It's such a pity that he died like this.
However, when his father talked to him about this yesterday, he did not dare to express his thoughts.
Didn’t Zhang Desheng get punished by the Emperor just because he said a few words for them?
I don’t know where he is being held or what kind of torture he is suffering.
In short, it won't be easy.
I heard that he was poisoned by Ling Heng's secret guard and didn't have many days left to live.
Zhang Desheng has served the emperor for more than forty years, and they have been together day and night. Isn't he closer to his father than them, his sons?
But in the face of power, these seem insignificant.
Ling Yan picked up the memorials, writing brushes, ink, paper, inkstone, paperweight, etc. one by one, placed them on the imperial desk, and then put them back in their original positions.
These should have been Zhang Desheng’s job.
"Father, please don't be angry. Anger is harmful to your health. It is more important to take care of your body."
Emperor Jingzhang had sunken eye sockets, dark purple eye bags drooping on his cheekbones which had no flesh at all, and blue veins on the backs of his withered hands coiled like poisonous snakes.
The twilight seeped in through the silk window lattices, dividing his wrinkled face into two sides, yin and yang.
Ling Yan was actually a little scared of his father: "Father, Father, I really don't understand, since you have already decided to take away the military power from the Duke of Zhenguo, why did you kill those elite soldiers?"
In fact, you can use it for your own benefit.
Emperor Jingzhang was panting heavily, and his hawk-like eyes fell on Ling Yan: "Womanly kindness!"
Ling Yan was so frightened that he dared not say another word.
"The entire Li family army has 300,000 people. Li Huaiying came to Shengjing without bringing anyone else. Why did he bring these 5,000 people?"
Ling Yan raised his head and looked towards Emperor Jingzhang.
"That's because these five thousand people are Li Huaiying's confidants! If I don't kill them, even if I take back 300,000 Li Jun's families, their loyalty will not be to Northern Jin, let alone to me!"
"Kill them, and the 300,000-strong army in the northwest won't be able to cause any trouble."
Ling Yan suddenly realized: "Yes, I understand. Thank you for your teachings, Father."
Emperor Jingzhang snorted coldly: "This is called the way of being a monarch. You should learn it well. I will hand over the country of Northern Jin to you."
"I dare not. Long live the emperor." Ling Heng knelt down quickly.
Emperor Jingzhang wanted to live forever, so he believed Ling Ji and took those pills.
Unfortunately, these pills now make it impossible for him to live to sixty.
"Father, have you figured out how to get Zhenguo Gong to drive the Li family army out of the northwest?"
Emperor Jingzhang had a gloomy face. What Li family army? That was his Ling family's army. The country's most important weapon actually became his Li family's army.
This is simply unreasonable!
"Your Majesty, Lord Luo Wenzhi from the Ministry of Justice requests to see you."
The former Minister of Justice Zhang Mao was Ling Heng's accomplice. As soon as Ling Heng was imprisoned, all of his party members and nine clans were thrown into jail.
The Jingzhao Prefecture Prison, the Ministry of Justice Prison, and even the Dali Temple Prison were all filled with prisoners.
"Let him in."
Luo Wenzhi was formerly the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice and was promoted to the new Minister of the Ministry of Justice yesterday.
He didn't look around, and knelt down as soon as he came in, saluting respectfully: "I am Luo Wenzhi, your humble servant, and I pay my respects to the emperor. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long, long live the emperor."
"Get up, you come to see me, what's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, the guilty Crown Prince Ling Heng has been crying out that he was wronged, saying that he was deceived by the traitors and asked to see your Majesty. Your Majesty, I am really fed up with the noise, so I came to ask for your will. How should the guilty Crown Prince be dealt with?"
Emperor Jingzhang cast a gloomy gaze on Luo Wenzhi's face. This new Minister of Justice was really not smart.
When he raised his eyes, he saw the Cang Lei, and naturally thought of the day when Li Shuangyan put the Cang Lei on Ling Heng's neck.
Ling Heng said that his position as Crown Princess and Queen had always been reserved for her!
Then let her kill Ling Heng.
"Come here and draw up the decree!"
……
It was already late at night when Li Shuangwan, his father and his brother carried the bodies of all the soldiers out of Donghua Gate.
The guards at the city gate did not dare to stop them, let alone close the city gate.
Watching the carts of corpses coming out of the palace and out of the East Gate like dragons.
Zhu Anhe came with all the servants and guards from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Gu Xingyan also sent out all the members of the Daliang delegation.
Countless people who heard the news opened their doors and rushed over with hoes and shovels.
Outside the East City Gate, on the Wulin Mountain where you can overlook the entire Shengjing City, there are nearly five thousand grave mounds piled up one by one and tombstones erected one by one.
This place was specially chosen by Li Shuangwan.
There were new grave mounds standing there as far as the eye could see.
It was like a pair of eyes staring at Shengjing City and the Imperial City of Northern Jin.
She just wanted the soldiers to see how the Northern Jin Dynasty brought about its own destruction.
By the time everything was done, it was already dawn.
The sun that jumped out from the horizon tore through the darkness, finally engulfing the night completely inch by inch.
Although everyone had stayed up all night and was very tired, no one left.
They stood there, wanting to take a last look at the brave warriors who had risked their lives to drive the Northern Qi out of the Northern Jin and put down the palace coup.
At this time, Uncle Li, the only housekeeper left in the mansion, came running over.
"My Lord, someone has come from the palace and wants you to go back and receive the order."
