Changzhou Town, Shenwu Army Barracks

Sima Jiyu looked around at the generals and said sternly:

"When the emperor is in danger, everyone should work hard for the king! Anyone who does not want to obey the emperor but only wants to be a thief will be punished by everyone!"

The generals of the Shenwu Army looked horrified. Looking around the command room, they saw the Sima generals surrounding them in a circle, glaring at them murderously, with their hands on the gun pouches on their waists.

"We will definitely obey your Majesty's instructions." So everyone expressed their stance one after another.

As soon as he entered the command room, he was surrounded by a bunch of colleagues with guns. If he didn't agree, he would die. Who dared to refuse?

"Okay, okay! I know that all my colleagues are loyal ministers of the Jin Dynasty!" Sima Ji held his hands and laughed, then took out the bloody belt edict and said to everyone, "Everyone comes up and signs. With this handprint, we become an alliance through blood, restore the country, and fight against the Cheng thieves together!"

Everyone, look at me and I look at you, no one dares to move.

"Is it possible that you don't want to be the ministers of the Jin Dynasty?" Sima Jixu's face turned cold again.

The Sima generals standing in a circle all drew out their pistols.

"The late emperor promoted you and me in the wilderness, how could we betray the Jin Dynasty?" Among the generals of the Shenwu Army, someone shouted, and everyone nodded and said:

"Opposite to each other, we were all personally promoted by the late emperor, so naturally we are extremely loyal ministers."

Everyone lined up to pay their names on the "Belt Order" and were forced to have their fingerprints pressed and drink blood wine, and then they knew that there was no way to fix the matter.

If this belt edict falls into the hands of Cheng Jinyang, he can implicate everyone on the list and execute them on charges of treason!

In this way, if everyone originally only had two or three points of rebellion, now they have three to four points.

The reason why it hasn't reached five points yet is because everyone has heard of something called the Giant God Soldier...

After locking the Shenwu Army generals into the inner room, General Sima breathed a sigh of relief.

Someone asked:

"They pretend to be loyal ministers on the surface, but in fact they are just obeying the Cheng thief. How about..."

Someone else stopped and said:

"After all, our imperial family has a small number of people and cannot control the entire army. If all the other generals die here, and the soldiers know about it, they will definitely mutiny!"

"It's better to let them sign the Clothes and Belts Edict and leave a clue. If the Clothes and Belts Edict falls into the hands of the thief Cheng, life and death will only depend on his thoughts. Therefore, even if these people are dissatisfied, at least they will not take the initiative to harm us. thing!"

"That's right! If Cheng thief is allowed to obtain the imperial edict, his generals will be purged and replaced in order to control the whole Shenwu army as soon as possible! These old generals just don't care about the royal family, don't they know the truth of death?"

Everyone said something to each other, and soon reached a consensus again, so Sima Jixu waved his hand and said:

"Immediately spread the edict on clothing and belts to the outside world! Let the soldiers know!"

Let’s first make these generals’ reputation for rebellion a reality. Even if you can't do it externally, you must at least do it within the Shenwu Army so that the soldiers can form a consensus and force these generals to acquiesce!

After everything was settled, the Sima generals also left one after another.

When Sima Jiyu came to his senses, he realized that his back was already covered in cold sweat.

Previously, he just relied on his bravery and the support of the clan generals to brazenly fall out with other colleagues.

Now that all the opposition generals in the army are imprisoned, the top priority is to gather the morale of the army as soon as possible and completely control the Shenwu Army.

Ever since he was discovered when he was plotting something big, and when the eldest princess of Nankang came to question her but was imprisoned by him, he had no way out!

Sima Jixuan turned around and came to the inner room, and saw the eldest princess of Nankang sitting there quietly behind the prison fence.

With a few metal railings, it was impossible to contain His Highness. What really made the other party voluntarily be imprisoned was Sima Jiyu's last words:

"The Cheng thief is about to usurp the throne. Even if the Sima family does nothing, they will not be able to escape the destruction of the whole family. Your Highness, who has received the kindness of the late emperor in raising you, will just watch us flesh and blood brothers and sisters being poured with sewage and then pressed." Kill him at the neck?"

Sima Jiyu looked at His Highness silently, while the eldest princess of Nankang sat quietly by the window, but she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Your Highness," Sima Jiyu said, "The generals have been cleared, and the Shenwu Army will be in my hands in an instant."

"The Cheng thief's northern expedition to Nanyang, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, it will be difficult to escape. Next, we will march west to Jiankang, clear the emperor's side, destroy the rebels, and restore a bright future to the Jin Dynasty."

"Ha." Princess Nankang finally sneered.

"Your Highness," Sima Jiyu said sincerely, "If the late Emperor were alive, would Your Highness think he would like to see us succeed despite hardships, or would he be generous and benevolent?"

"You can't succeed." The eldest princess of Nankang whispered, "The Sima family is gone. It's just your personal ambition that drives you to use your mantis as a chariot, so why bother involving other people?"

Sima Jiyu was speechless by what she said. After a long while, his face turned ferocious and he roared:

"How could it be that Emperor Xuan, the great ancestor, created a foundation that would last forever and be destroyed by our generation?"

"Emperor Gaozu Xuan is dead!" Princess Nankang stood up angrily.

"The great ancestor is dead, but the Sima family is not dead!" Sima Jiyu also became furious, "We are just like moths flying into the flame. It is better to make a desperate move than to sit back and wait for death and let others slaughter!"

"Oh?" The burning blade suddenly pierced his back.

Sima Jiyu, who was about to die instantly, his face already spasming sharply due to the severe pain, only then heard a cold voice coming from behind:

"But whatever you want to do...I don't care."

"You, you!" The blade was withdrawn from his body, and Sima Jiyu fell into a pool of blood, with unwilling and resentful eyes, but he was speechless.

His lungs were punctured and necrotic. Now even breathing was a luxury, and he soon fell into a state of near-death.

"Jinyang!" The eldest princess of Nankang said happily and threw herself into her husband's arms without hesitation.

She really didn't expect that her husband would actually abandon the crucial Northern Expedition and come to the rescue in person for her.

"Sister Xinnan." Cheng Jinyang hugged her tightly, slowly feeling the lost fullness and softness, and said softly, "I'm here to save you."

"Yes." Sister Princess nodded, then pulled out a list from the gap in her chest and said:

"They didn't imprison me, I stayed here on purpose."

"These young people... they were discussing things unprotected outside, and I could hear clearly who was who inside. The left column on the list are radical die-hards, I don't care; the right column are all without opinions. , dragged in by the collective atmosphere or fanatical others, if possible..."

"After verification, I will spare these people's lives." Cheng Jinyang nodded and agreed.

The eldest princess of Nankang was startled for a moment, then suddenly hugged his neck and kissed him passionately.
