The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

When the blood gourd appeared in sight, all the officials present frowned slightly with different expressions. The officials' wives beside them stopped crying, and some even fainted from fear.

Empress Yang covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming. The head aunt came over and hugged her. Even though she was the head of the harem, she was still a young girl who had not yet reached the age of marriage.

Zhao Yu's expression was very calm. He took out the Buddhist beads hidden in his sleeve and recited silently.

The Empress Dowager turned her eyes and looked at the calm Concubine Shu, and she, who was already pale, fell from the chair and collapsed on the ground like mud.

"General Chen!"

"father!"

Only Chen Zhengde and Fu Chi blurted it out.

The dragon robe and the Yishan cap presented to him were the most direct evidence of rebellion. Moreover, Chen Zhengde's recent outrageous remarks showed that he had already regarded the throne as his own.

When Chen Zhengde declared his intention to rebel, the officials in the square had already been divided into two factions.

The expressions on everyone's faces at this moment were as colorful as the fireworks that exploded not long ago.

Huang Tong, who was standing next to the dragon case, held a memorial in his hand and read out the evidence of the Chen family's crimes over the years.

From leading the rebels into the capital more than thirty years ago to withholding military pay and supplies during the years of garrisoning in Ningyuan City.

He had his own army and colluded with the Later Jin to oppress the people living on the border and profit from it...The most direct thing now is that the dragon robe was found in Chen's family, proving that he had the intention of rebelling.

The officials present also learned that the Dali Temple had been investigating this matter several months ago.

Everyone thought that General Luo, who was far away in Tumu Fort, was the soldier who walked in carrying Chen Hang's head.

Jiang Nansheng kept everyone in the dark.

What is certain is that the Chen family is finished!

Those Jinwu guards wearing armor dropped their weapons and surrendered.

They were being escorted away right before his eyes. Fu Chi looked at Emperor Jianming with a pale face, hesitating, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Unable to utter a word in defense, he slumped dejectedly into his chair.

Not only him, all those who once supported Chen Zhengde looked dejected.

The evidence of the Chen family's crimes from the eunuch's mouth made Chen Zhengde stand up straighter. He raised his leg and walked towards his father.

Luo Xingzhou stood up and pointed the knife in his hand at Chen Zhengde's chest. He retracted the weapon only after seeing Jiang Nansheng shook his head.

Standing beside Emperor Jianming as a protector.

All Chen Zhengde had in his eyes was his old father. He wailed and knelt on the ground, crawling over.

He looked at his father's head. His gray hair was now disheveled, with the front stained with frightening blood.

The broken marks on his neck showed that my father did not feel much pain during his lifetime. For him, the anger and sadness in his heart almost overwhelmed him.

Only at this moment did he truly realize that he had been tricked by Jiang Nansheng.

The Chen family is the one caught in the trap!

Jiang Nansheng lowered his eyes and looked at him, and said slowly: "Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunion. How can Mr. Chen be separated from his family?"

After he finished speaking, the Chen family members in Ningyuan City appeared at the palace gate.

"Third brother!"

"Husband..."

"Father......"

Men, women, young and old, all looked sad and frightened.

They thought that coming to Shengjing City was a glorious return home, but they had no idea that it was actually a journey of thousands of miles to their death.

The man in black standing on the palace gate leaped up, landed lightly on the ground, and directed the terrified Chen family members to come in.

"Shut up!" he shouted, and swept the crossbow in his hand across the legs of the man walking in front.

The Chen family members knelt on the ground with a thump. In front of them was the winding bloody trail.

Qin Lang took off the helmet on his head and stood beside Jiang Nansheng with a bold look. The armor on his body made him look extremely burly.

"I'm so anxious!" There was impatience in his rough voice.

Jiang Nansheng nodded, cupped his hands and said to him: "I would also like to ask the commander to appease the panicked ministers."

Qin Lang put his helmet on his waist and sneered, "Appease? Lord Jiang wants to let the Jinyiwei take over these rebels?"

Put them all in jail and give them a beating. Then they will behave themselves and answer whatever you ask them!

But where does he have the time?

He wanted to go home before midnight, with his wife and children all warm and cozy, and the whole family reunited.

Jiang Nansheng nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, there is something wrong. Let's leave the next matter to the Dali Temple."

Those who were related to the Chen family were thrown into the imperial prison of the Dali Temple, while those who were not related returned to their respective homes.

The city gates are closed and security is tight, so leaving is absolutely impossible at this time.

The pure ministers, led by Lord Yang, only felt resentment towards the Chen family. They almost became victims of his evil thoughts.

Before leaving, he did not forget to say thank you to Jiang Nansheng for his hard work.

Those who have dealt with the Duke would bow and compliment him by saying, "Young people are to be feared."

The officials who stood in the wrong line had lost their spirit in their eyes, and their bodies were shaky when they were dragged away by the guards. They knew that the situation was hopeless, and they were full of panic, but they could do nothing.

The scene is so similar to the day when the previous emperor passed away.

After Chen Zhengde wrapped his father's head again, he held it in his arms and looked at Jiang Nansheng with red eyes, "When did you start planning this?"

Jiang Nansheng retracted his gaze from Gu Jinchu and sneered at Chen Zhengde: "The Chen family stepped on the Jiang family to rise to power, this is just what you deserve!"

Chen Zhengde stood up, his crimson court robe stained dark by the blood, and murmured in a hoarse voice, "You know... the person who knew about this has long passed away, so when did you know about it?"

This incident happened thirty-four years ago. Chen Zhengde was not yet born, let alone Jiang Nansheng.

When the Duke of Dingguo helped Emperor Taizu conquer the world, there were still constant wars. At that time, Chen Hang was just an unknown soldier. It was he who led the rebels to find the hiding place of the prince of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion.

He then came to prominence under Emperor Taizu and became the General Huaiyuan of today.

It is not an exaggeration for Jiang Nansheng to say that the Chen family stepped on the Jiang family to rise to power.

Chen Zhengde knew that there was no room for maneuver, so he looked at Jiang Nansheng and made one last request.

"Jiang Nansheng, do you dare to compete with me?"
