Chapter 1242: General’s Token!

Translator: Lonelytree

The Zhou Clan had been ransacked, and all 233 members of the Zhou Clan, except for Zhou Dehong, had been imprisoned by the Imperial Guards.

This news quickly spread throughout the entire capital.

A few days ago, Jiang Zhennan was arrested, the Defender General’s manor was raided, and now the Zhou Manor was raided.

The various aristocratic families in the capital quickly sensed that something was wrong.

When Jiang Zhennan was arrested, and the Defender General was raided, they had already smelled the scent of a storm.

The reason why Jiang Zhennan was arrested was that he had drugged the Emperor and had been controlling the Emperor all these years.

Therefore, now that the conspiracy was exposed, he was arrested.

After that, there was no movement.

There was no news from the Imperial Palace.

They only knew that the Emperor was seriously ill and that Noble Consort Zhou was serving him by the bed, but she had ordered that no one should visit him.

This was obviously unusual!

However, today, the Imperial Guards suddenly surrounded the Zhou Clan. Not even a fly could fly out. Then, the Zhou Clan members were taken away.

There were no signs, and it was very sudden!

However, in less than half a day, news spread from the Imperial Palace.

The Zhou Family’s Zhou Dehong, Noble Consort Zhou, and the Third Prince plotted a rebellion. Fortunately, the Emperor was wise, so their plot did not succeed.

Then, they heard that the Defender General, Jiang Zhennan, was framed by

Zhou Dehong. Now that he was acquitted, he was re-conferred the title of Defender General and returned to the Defender General’s Estate. They also heard that everything he had stolen was returned as well.

The amount of information was really too much. It was really difficult for them to digest it in a short period of time.

However, at this moment, many people were certain that Jiang Zhennan was still favored by the Emperor. Otherwise, the Emperor could have made use of this mistake and removed this Great General who was in charge of the military from his position. He could even get rid of the Great General, who could threaten his imperial authority.

However, the Emperor did not do so.

Therefore, Jiang Zhennan was still the same Jiang Zhennan from before. His status and identity had not changed. Oh no, there had been changes.

This change made everyone more certain of Jiang Zhennan’s status in front of His Majesty.

In the future, if anyone wanted to frame Jiang Zhennan in front of His

Majesty, they would have to think twice. Otherwise, if they failed to frame Jiang Zhennan, they would be in trouble. Oh no, the consequences might be even more terrible than being in trouble.

No matter what the families in the capital thought, the scene in the palace had not completely ended.

Yuwen Longyan looked at the kneeling Third Prince with disappointment.

This Third Prince was usually hot-tempered and impulsive, but he had crossed the line this time.

Yuwen Longyan sighed and said, “My child, you said that your uncle forced you, so you can take my life as you please just for this position?” Yuwen Longyan pointed at the throne behind him and said,” So, in order to sit on this throne, you were forced to rebel?”

Yuwen Feiye was speechless.

Lin Yuelan looked on coldly from the side. She then turned to Yuwen Longyan

and said,” Old Emperor, your position was originally built by thousands of corpses. It’s understandable for the Third Prince to do this!”

It sounded like she was pleading for Yuwen Feiye, but in fact, she was mocking him for betraying his father for power!

However, Yuwen Feiye’s eyes lit up when he heard that. He looked at Yuwen Longyan with anticipation.

Yuwen Longyan looked at Yuwen Feiye and felt even more disappointed.

He ignored Yuwen Feiye and looked at Zhou Dehong. He sneered,” Zhou Dehong, what else do you have to say?

When Zhou Dehong heard that the Zhou family had all been imprisoned by the Emperor, he still could not believe that his long-planned plan had been so easily destroyed.

Zhou Dehong looked at Lin Yincheng with an extremely ugly expression as he said sternly,” Lin Yincheng, you betrayed me?”

Lin Yincheng said expressionlessly,” My loyalty has always been to His Majesty!’

Upon hearing Lin Yinchengs words, Zhou Dehong was about to go crazy from anger. He shouted angrily,” So you weren’t loyal to me from the beginning?!” Lin Yincheng did not answer, but the answer was obvious.

Zhou Dehong was about to go crazy from anger. His face was ashen as he gritted his teeth and said hatefully,” Good, good, really good!”

Then, he said in a ruthless and decisive tone,” Yuwen Longyan, do you really think that my only reliance is Lin Yincheng? Hmph, how could I be so stupid?”

Yuwen Longyan was not angry. Instead, he smiled and asked,” Oh, Zhou Dehong, it seems that you have a backup plan. Tell me what it is. Let’s see if you, Zhou Dehong, can take my position?

These words were obviously filled with sarcasm and mockery, mocking him for overestimating his own strength!

Zhou Dehong listened to Yuwen Longyan’s words. There was no need to describe his anger. However, since he was already in a difficult situation, he might as well stake everything on it. Perhaps he could still give himself a way out.

Zhou Dehong laughed loudly, “Yuwen Longyan, let me tell you. Jiang

Zhennan’s general’s token is with me! Everyone present knew what this token represented!”

zhou Dehong took out a square bronze medal.

Jiang Zhennan was in charge of one-third of the Longyan Kingdom’s military power, so he needed a general’s token to mobilize the 300,000 soldiers under his command. Otherwise, he would not be able to command these 300,000 soldiers at all.

Zhou Dehong had the ambition to hold the emperor hostage and command the vassals. Of course, he could not bet all his chips on Noble Consort Zhou, the Third Prince Yuwen Feiye, and the leader of the Imperial Guards.

Therefore, under their scheme, Jiang Zhennan was imprisoned, and he took the opportunity to search Jiang Zhennan’s body for the General’s Token.

Originally, he did not intend to use it at this moment.

He knew his sister, Noble Consort Zhou, very well. Although he had used drugs to control the mother and son temporarily, after the matter was done, Noble Consort Zhou would definitely try to destroy him to prevent his son from being threatened by him. It was even more likely that she would die together with him.

However, with this order that could mobilize Jiang Zhennan’s 300,000 soldiers, even if they did not curry favor with him, they had to be polite to him. Because he had this general’s token, he could replace Yuwen Feiye, the puppet emperor, at any time and sit on it himself.

But now, their plan had failed. Not to mention the beautiful wish of becoming an emperor, even if they could survive, it was still a problem.

Yuwen Feiye’s face turned pale when he saw Zhou Dehong take out the token.

He did not expect Zhou Dehong to have such a trick up his sleeve.

Now, he was in a dilemma.

When everyone saw this token, they were all shocked.

‘Eh, you have one of these tokens? I have one too!”
