Xiao Jing raised his hand and waved suddenly.

A stream of light fell directly on Cao Zhengxian. He did not resist but opened his arms, seeming to be looking forward to this scene, since the Great Jin Dynasty was destined to perish.

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

He started as a young eunuch, followed the emperors of the Sima clan, and received favors from the emperors. Now, he finally wants to go downstairs to meet the emperors of the past generations again.

Cao Zhengxian died very quickly and somewhat tragically.

The soul was scattered by Xiao Jingsheng, leaving only a complete body.

Especially in today's situation, it is more like a minister who is loyal to the Sima clan and is loyal to the country. On the other hand, Sima Ke himself will be a thief who leads the wolf into the house.

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

Following the death of Cao Zhengxian and the retreat of other royal family members, Sima Ke's side immediately used an overwhelming advantage to completely surround the second prince Sima You in the Jinluan Palace.

The sword flashed with a cold light, and Sima You sent a young eunuch to tell Sima Ke that he hoped to come in and talk to him. He had some last words to say.

After seeking Princess Pingyang's opinion, Sima Ke finally agreed. Xiao Jing scanned it with his spiritual mind and confirmed that there was indeed only Sima You inside.

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

In full view of everyone, Sima Ke pushed open the door of the Jinluan Palace, and at a glance, he saw Sima You wearing a dragon robe and sitting on a dragon chair in the center of the front.

Turn around and close the door.

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

"Second brother, you are not the emperor yet, how can you wear a dragon robe? This is a death penalty for overstepping the bounds of justice."

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

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

"It doesn't matter. As the emperor's younger brother, after your death, second brother, I can issue an order to have you buried in the coffin in a dragon robe." Sima Kehun smiled nonchalantly.

"So generous?"

Sima Ke didn't answer. In his heart, the Sima family was about to perish. It didn't matter if his second brother lived like an emperor. Anyway, he would eventually be the king of the country.

"Second brother asked me to come over. What last words do you want to say?"

"Fourth brother, if the second brother said that when 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 doesn't make any sense whether I should be the emperor or not. The reason why I have reached this point is because of the people below me pushing me step by step. I have to do this.

After the death of our father, our Jin Dynasty does not have much strength left. Why should we have another civil strife and make our Sima family weak again? It is a pity that Eunuch Cao is not willing.

He forcibly overstepped his authority and gave orders on my behalf."

"Where does he get the courage? A domestic slave dares to bite his master?"

Sima Ke asked casually.

"Haha, Eunuch Cao wants to die on his own initiative. He had this idea after his father died, but he just couldn't worry about the foundation of our Sima clan."

"A slave is worried about his master." Sima Ke sneered.

"Hey, after all, Eunuch Cao also died in the battle. Fourth son, you should keep your mouth open. No matter what, his loyalty is to our Sima clan, so it is inappropriate to say this."

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, I lost to Princess Pingyang. I didn't expect that she had so many back-ups. Maybe she also thought about Si Chen becoming the best person in history.

The first female empress."

"I don't object to this statement. In fact, I can compete with you, second brother. It is indeed the imperial sister who is planning for me from behind."

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

"hehe."

"Okay, I won't waste your time, Fourth Brother. Over there is the confession I left behind, blaming all the sins on myself.

I am willing to bear all this. I just hope that you, Fourth Brother, can sustain our Sima family’s 200-year-old foundation for as many years as possible. If Taizu wakes up, there will be no chance of reviving the Jin Dynasty."

Sima You said a lot, but most of it was just instructions. As he spoke more and more, his voice became softer and softer, and a trace of black blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Second brother, how does the poisonous wine taste?"

Sima Ke asked curiously.

"It's okay. Haha, it's okay." Sima You wiped the corner of his mouth, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he sighed:

"I never expected that our Sima clan would decline in the hands of Chen Yuan. If I had a chance to come back again, I would definitely use all my means to strangle him to death."

"Second brother."

"Um?"

Sima Ke looked seriously at Sima You, whose breath was gradually weakening, and whispered:

"I'm afraid I can't agree to your instructions."

"Why?"

Sima You's face was full of surprise.

"Second brother, do you know who is pushing me to get to where I am today?"

"Sister Pingyang?"

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

Human Emperor."

"What did you say?"

Sima You's eyes suddenly widened, and the poisonous wine began to flow backwards rapidly.

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

"puff"

Sima You spit out a mouthful of old blood, unwilling to accept it, and used his last strength to roar:

"You are right to do this. Are you worthy of the ancestors of the Sima family, worthy of the ancestors of our Jin Dynasty, and worthy of my father? He is the one who ruined the foundation of my Jin Dynasty!"

Sima You's voice resounded throughout the Jinluan Palace, and he was 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 the war, 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 siblings were much stronger than him.

However, he never wanted the Sima family to be destroyed, the Jin Dynasty to be destroyed, let alone Chen Yuan, a rebellious minister and traitor.

Sima Ke squatted in front of Sima You, took a deep breath, seemed to be crying but not crying, seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and murmured:

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

It was the sixth day of the eleventh month in the ninth year of Jingtai in the Jin Dynasty.

The second son of the emperor, Sima You, was deceived by the treacherous minister Cao Zhengxian. He rebelled and conspired to rebel. He used weapons without permission and caused cholera in the imperial city. He then performed the blood sacrifice of the previous emperor. In the end, the fourth son of the emperor, Sima Ke, led the army to put down the rebellion. Later, Sima You was frightened and committed suicide in fear of crime.

On the day the traitor Cao Zhengxian's body was exposed, it was eaten by the people of the capital.

It was the eighth day of the eleventh month in the ninth year of Jingtai in the Jin Dynasty.

Sima Ke, the fourth son of the former emperor, rose up in the midst of crisis and was in line with the people's wishes. All ministers obeyed and officially ascended the throne as emperor. He would change the Yuan Dynasty to Jianping the following year.

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

It’s for Emperor Ling of Jin!
