After being read, the abstinent prince bullies others with his wife every day

"It's not that someone wants you dead," Emperor Jingsheng sneered, "it's you who wants Dayan to perish!"

With a "swish", Emperor Jingsheng grabbed the confession book on the table and threw it in front of Duke Zhou.

"Look carefully for me!"

Duke Zhou knelt down and grabbed the few thin pieces of paper, glancing quickly at them. The more he looked, the paler his face became. He couldn't even kneel down, let alone look at the account books.

Emperor Jingsheng said sternly, "Now you see clearly? The evidence is as solid as a mountain, and you still want to quibble? And Concubine An, who was mentioned repeatedly in the confession, seems to be one of your major helpers."

Duke Zhou was trembling and couldn't utter a word.

"Okay, okay, okay, okay!"

He said "OK" three times in a row, almost exhausting all of Emperor Jingsheng's strength. He gasped and coughed violently. Eunuch Li looked at him with concern. After a while, Emperor Jingsheng waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Come here, immediately banish Concubine An to the cold palace, arrest all the people in the Duke's Mansion, and imprison them in the Sky Prison. They will be executed on a certain day!"

"Your Majesty, I am innocent. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me!"

Duke Zhou's face suddenly changed, and he begged for mercy in panic, "Over the years, even if I have no merits, I have worked hard. Please forgive me for the sake of our friendship, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Jingsheng stared at him coldly, then suddenly revealed a meaningful smile: "Duke Zhou, you don't think that I really didn't notice anything for so many years, do you?"

Duke Zhou was startled, and seemed to realize something: "You, you knew it a long time ago? You were just waiting, waiting for me to reveal a flaw?!"

Emperor Jingsheng did not answer, but smiled calmly and said in a cold voice: "Come here, drag him away! And the others mentioned in this memorial, imprison them all."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The imperial guards acted quickly and captured Duke Zhou and his followers one by one. For a while, the hall was filled with cries of crying and begging.

Emperor Jingsheng leaned tiredly on the dragon throne and pressed his brows, but his expression was unusually relaxed.

He had endured for so many years, and this cancer deeply buried in the Great Yan Dynasty could finally be completely eradicated. He had finally waited for this day.

"Where is the King Chen?"

He looked at Eunuch Li.

"Your Majesty, Prince Chen asked for leave this morning, saying he was feeling unwell."

"I have issued my decree. The Prince of Chen has violated the virtues of his ancestors, disobeyed my instructions, and has monopolized power, gathered his followers, and colluded with the enemy and committed treason. He must be arrested immediately."

"Yes."

Eunuch Li walked out in a hurry. Just as he was about to leave the palace, he bumped into the young eunuch who rushed into the palace to report.

The young eunuch knelt on the ground, panting and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something bad has happened. His Royal Highness Prince Chen, he, he has escaped with his troops!"

Emperor Jingsheng was furious and asked sternly, "What's going on?"

The young eunuch replied tremblingly: "I think His Royal Highness Prince Chen got the news in advance. He has already led his army out of the imperial city. I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

The young eunuch dared not say anything more.

There are troops from Southern Xinjiang that have been buried near Yanjing. If Jiang Chen leads his men to join them, Southern Xinjiang will take this opportunity to counterattack, and the entire Yanjing will be plunged into dire straits in an instant, and everything will be unimaginable.

The clouds were getting lower and the wind was carrying the message that a storm was coming.

……

The sound of horses' hooves was as fierce as wolves and tigers, and they were galloping wildly, raising a cloud of dust on the land of Yanjing. The speed at which they came was unparalleled, and they rushed towards the city gates of Yanjing with a murderous aura.

Even so, the leading horse ran even faster, howling like the wind and sun, with the force of thunder.

Jiang Chen held the reins with a gloomy face, and the resentment of unwillingness and defeat made him burn with anger.

It turned out that Jiang Yu's real purpose of returning to Beijing was not just to investigate what happened that year, but he had long been eyeing him and the Duke's Mansion.

Jiang Chen gnashed his teeth in hatred, recalling that Duke Zhou had reminded him many times not to be careless, but he was stubborn and too arrogant, thinking that everything was under control. Now he realized it, but it was too late.

Now that things have come to this, he might as well go all out and break off relations completely. He has already been prepared anyway; he will do what that loser Jiang Hong cannot do!

Jiang Chen looked back at the elite soldiers following behind him, his eyes flashing with determination: "Send the order, retreat southward, we must leave the capital as soon as possible and join forces with the supporting troops from southern Xinjiang!"

The horses' hooves flew, stirring up the dust on the ground.

Jiang Chen's army was rapidly approaching the city gate and was about to leave the city when suddenly, a cold order resounded through the sky.

"Stop them!"

Following the order, a vast mass of black armor rushed over in the smoke and dust, surging like a wave under the sky, with the snow waves rising one higher than the other.

The heaven and earth were shaking. The black-armored troops rushed over, spread their wings, and in an instant completely surrounded Jiang Chen's army.

Jiang Chen's face changed, and he suddenly raised his arm to rein in the horse. The reins were pulled into a straight line, trembling slightly, and the horse raised its head and neighed loudly.

He stared at Yun Shuning and Jiang Yu who were slowly emerging from the black wave, and sneered, "What a bad fate, it's impossible to get rid of it."

Jiang Yu met his gaze and said coldly, "My father has issued an order, ordering me to lead the army to pursue and bring the traitors to justice. You are guilty of corruption, forming a clique for personal gain, colluding with foreign enemies, and harming the people. Do you know your crimes?"

"Guilt?" Jiang Chen snorted coldly, and drew out the sword at his waist instantly, pointing it directly at Jiang Yu's face: "They are just a bunch of insignificant ants and slaves. It is their honor to pave the way for my great cause. What crime have I committed? But you, Jiang Yu, how do you feel about the poison?"

He sneered, his eyes full of mockery.

Jiang Yu remained expressionless, quickly retreated, and raised his sword to block his attack.

Jiang Chen smiled tenderly, and the moves in his hands became more fierce: "I have to say, you are really lucky. It seems that those broken medicines that let you survive are still somewhat effective. However, I might as well tell you that the longer you delay, the more powerful the poison will be. When it backfires, you should know what it feels like, hahaha..."

He laughed loudly, his eyes full of confidence.
