ace, marriage itself is politics. There's no difference between state affairs and family matters, is there" Li Chen said.Su Jinpa turned her head and said, "It makes no difference to you, but I don't...Chapter 1094: Loyalty, Courage and Bravery

Li Yinhu's death was quite a sensation.

At least he was still put to use by Li Chen and Zhao Xuanji until the very end.

That's putting all the blame on him.

He probably wouldn't mind.

It doesn't matter.

The dead do not speak.

After leaving Zhao Mansion, Li Chen returned to the East Palace and then, on that very day, issued three imperial edicts.

These three imperial edicts shook the world.

Because these three imperial edicts were all personally written by the great emperor.

It not only laid out the entire course of events of the rebellion, but also gave it a definitive characterization.

That was just a matter of time, the scheming usurper Li Yinhu's inevitable plot for an armed rebellion to seize power!

Fortuitously, His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, proved to be wise and valiant, completely crushing this armed rebellion and successfully exposing numerous culprits.

The first imperial edict affirmed the prince's achievements as regent and publicly confirmed his status as heir apparent, solidifying his position.

The second imperial edict condemned Li Yinhǔ's filial piety and loyalty, and ordered the emperor to execute him. The crown prince pleaded for Li Yinhǔ out of brotherhood, but to no avail.

The third edict dealt with all criminals.

No exceptions, all will be beheaded.

The efficiency of the Qin court running at full capacity was beyond ordinary people's expectations.

Three imperial edicts were issued, and before the fast horses sent throughout the land could even leave the city, hundreds of arrested officials had all been executed at the chopping block.

Meng Bingwen was also among them.

Under the torrential rain, he saw his fellow comrades in the same prison garb lined up, being beheaded one by one. Fear gripped him, making his whole body tremble.

And before him, were throngs of Beijing citizens who had come to watch, braving the heavy rain.

Most people don't know the reason behind these events, they only know that King Li Yinhu of Former Zhao rebelled. These people before you were all officials, but because they participated in the rebellion with Li Yinhu, they were beheaded.

The common people's feelings are mostly simple. They don't understand grand principles, but they also know loyalty to the monarch and love for their country, so Meng Bingwen's words, reaching their ears, were nothing but insults and scorn.

"Since the Crown Prince has been acting as Regent, our lives have been quite good. Not only have we had disaster relief, but also tax exemptions, which have greatly alleviated the burden on our people. It's simply outrageous that these corrupt officials dared to rebel! They deserve to be executed!"

Listening to the insults of the common people, Meng Bingwen sighed, "I regret it!!!"

With such a long sigh, the executioner had already arrived behind him.

Hundreds of people being executed collectively, it was a spectacular sight that happened once in a century. However, for the executioners, it was a heavy task.

But he had to behead them all cleanly, so there was no chance for Meng Bingwen to sigh or lament. The executioner raised his execution sword high, still smeared with the blood of the previous beheaded official, and swung it down through the rain, whistling as it cut through the air.

Blood splattered, and Meng Bingwen's head rolled to the ground with a sickening thud.

At the same time, eighty miles outside of the capital city, in Dingling.

As a royal mausoleum, Diling buried successive emperors of the Qin Empire, making it an oversized burial complex.

While on one side of Dingling, hundreds of Jinyiwei in double-winged swallowtail robes stood straight in the heavy rain, looking at an opened tomb.

Chen Tong stood beside the tomb, while Wan Jiaojiao, dressed in mourning clothes, knelt before it, weeping uncontrollably.

"Coffin!!!"

Chen Tong roared.

Eight sturdy men in embroidered official uniforms carried the coffin into the tomb.

"Buried in the ground, sealed in a tomb!"

Chen Tong, after finishing his shout, took the lead and shoveled some soil onto the coffin.

In the blink of an eye, the tomb was complete.

Chen Tong grabbed a stone tablet weighing hundreds of jin and, with a roar, plunged it into the soil in front of the tomb, burying it one-third of the way.

On the tombstone, it is prominently engraved: "Tomb of Wan Dongsheng, Martial Marquis of the Great Qin Empire, Loyal, Brave, and Valiant!"o he immediately said, "This servant will go right away."Li Chen said indifferently: "Today is the New Year's Eve. At noon, this palace will go to the General's Mansion for a meal. In the evening, I w...
