Chapter 1678 I will not accompany you
Sima Lun finally took the imperial edict from the hand of the imperial eunuch, and then tore it into pieces one by one. With his hand raised, the yellow fragments fluttered in the wind and scattered on the water of the Wei River. They were soon swallowed up by the river and disappeared without a trace. Sima Lun chuckled and said, "Go back and tell Sima Zhao, let him play slowly by himself, and I will not be with me."
After saying that, Sima Lun ignored the shocked expression of the imperial envoy's eunuch, stepped onto the war horse, and whipped westward.
After finding his mother, Sima Lun no longer had any concerns here. As for Sima Zhao's life and death, Sima Lun was indifferent. Originally, Sima Lun planned to kill him to avenge Sima Shi, but now it seems that there is no chance. Sima Lun must be responsible for the 100,000 troops who follow him and stay away from Chang'an, a place of right and wrong.
As for Sima Zhao's fate, Sima Lun didn't have to worry. First of all, Cao Liang would definitely not let him go. The Wei army had already siege the city, and Sima Zhao had no way out. He became the emperor as he wished, but he became the shortest-lived emperor. Everything was his own fault and he could not blame others.
Sima Lun waved his whip and left, and never looked back at Chang'an City.
The imperial eunuch stood by the Weishui River, and the cold wind blew, and he was completely messed up in the wind. Sima Lun tore the imperial edict and turned around very casually. If he returned to Chang'an to report his life, Sima Zhao, who was furious, would probably not give him good fruit.
Even if Sima Zhao did not cure him, he would not be able to defend Chang'an City without rescuing troops. Instead of dying among the chaotic army, it would be better to run away before he returned to Chang'an, so that he would have a chance to save his life.
So the imperial eunuch took off his palace clothes, tore them up and dirty them, and mixed them among the fleeing people, heading north.
The subordinates who accompanied him watched the eunuch flee alone, and they looked at each other in a row, and finally chose to get involved in the refugees and escape.

In the palace hall, Sima Zhaozheng summoned all the ministers to discuss matters, but today there were not many ministers attending court. Many of them took leave while sick and did not come to court.
Needless to say, these ministers were not really sick, but had plans. Now that the Great Jin Dynasty is about to be destroyed, many people obviously do not have the intention to survive and perish with the dynasty. In this crisis, they did not think about working together, but were thinking about their own way out.
Sima Zhao couldn't help but be extremely angry, his face turned blue, and he said angrily: "I am not dead yet! The Great Jin Dynasty has not yet died! You are so anxious to sell your owners and seek honor. It's so outrageous! Yang Jun, the court guard——"
The court guard Yang Jun came out of the squad and bowed and said, "I am here."
Sima Zhao said in a deep voice: "Look at how many people in this hall who have not arrived, and then go down and lead troops to investigate immediately. All those who have not attended court today will be arrested, sent to the heavenly prison, and tortured. If anyone colluded with Cao Liang, he will be killed without mercy!"
Sima Zhao was really angry this time. Usually, some ministers took leave, but it was reasonable. How could people not get sick if they eat grains and grains? But now, the civil and military officials in the court have become "ill" and two-thirds of them. Isn't they pretending to be sick?
When it comes to the originator of the pretending disease world, Sima Zhao's father Sima Yi is the first to recommend Sima Zhao's father. That is the Taishan Beidou in the pretending disease world. Compared with Sima Yi, these ministers are simply a thousand miles apart, and they are completely showing off their talents. If Sima Zhao let these guys act recklessly, what is his majesty as an emperor?
It is true that the Wei army is at the city, but before the country collapses, these people are already eager to find another way out. It is really outrageous. Sima Zhao doesn't give them some color to see it, wouldn't this emperor be idle?
Yang Jun bowed and said, "I will receive the order."
Yang Jun is the best person to flatter and offer, and steal opportunities. He is deeply despised by the ministers and is ashamed to be a member of him. Therefore, Yang Jun had a feud with many ministers in the court, but Yang Jun was deeply loved by Sima Zhao and promoted him to the court magistrate and held the power of justice.
This time, Sima Zhao wanted to punish those officials who did not attend court. Yang Jun roughly estimated that among these ministers who did not attend court, many of them had personal grudges with him. Now Yang Jun was extremely happy in his heart. The long-awaited opportunity for revenge finally came. Once these people fell into his hands, they would have to peel off even if they were not dead.
How could Yang Jun let go of this great opportunity? He bowed his promise and left the hall excitedly.
After issuing the order, Sima Zhao's bad mood finally calmed down. Although the law did not rule the crowd, these court officials were too bold and too arrogant. Sima Zhao was not dead yet, so he didn't give him any face. These people must not tolerate them, otherwise, they would make people think that he, the emperor, was weak and could be bullied, and more people would join the ranks of defectors.
Whether it is killing a chicken to warn the monkey or knocking on the mountain and shocking the tiger, Sima Zhao cannot be merciful, so those who dare to indulge him will be punished as due.
Yang Jun's style of work was decisive. Before the arrest, he wrote a list of people who had the deepest grudge against him would be in the forefront, and then treat him according to the name, without any preparation.
Those ministers who took leave did not rule out that most of the people who were really sick were not sick, but planned to surrender from the city. They did not want to die in the war. They heard that Cao Liang had extremely generous conditions and treatment for the surrendered ministers, which naturally made them excited.
They don’t expect to be promoted to the position of the government. It’s already a burning incense to be on par with their current status.
Just as they were secretly planning, Yang Jun rushed over with the imperial guards, and without saying a word, he captured these officials.
Some officials knew that Yang Jun was revenge on his own, so they scolded him on the spot, but Yang Jun didn't care at all. Instead, he waved his hand and arrested all the ministers and imprisoned them in the heavenly prison.
Just being imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison is definitely not enough to cure their crimes. Yang Jun became a cruel official this time and tortured these ministers strictly. He would naturally reveal it from their mouths.
