Chapter 657

"King Yan is dead! King Yan is dead

A bodyguard who protects the king of Yan shouts out, and other bodyguards look at the king of Yan who is lying in a pool of blood. At this moment, all the bodyguards lose their will to fight, and they flee one after another.

After the bodyguards collapsed, the soldiers lost their will to fight. Now that the king of Yan is dead, who is willing to continue to work for him?

Soon, the news of King Yan's death spread to all parts of Yingzhou City with the scattered soldiers. Under the influence of this news, the Yan army was in a mess.

Cui Shangan was very sensitive to the change of Yan army. He immediately led the soldiers to launch a fierce attack. At this time, Yan army, which was already lax, kept retreating, and more and more Huainan soldiers poured into the city.

While the king of Huainan attacked Yingzhou, Li San arrived in Bozhou. According to Xiao Ming's plan, when Yingzhou was destroyed, the fourth prince also died.

After meeting the Tian and Ji family leaders in Bozhou, Li San mentioned the killing of the fourth prince.

"Kill the fourth prince!" Tian Wen was shocked.

Ji Tong, the head of the Ji family, was also surprised. He said, "Li Tongling, is this really the emperor's order?"

Li San's eyes turned. It was Xiao Ming's idea to kill the fourth prince, but Xiao Ming couldn't bear it. After all, killing his brother was a cruel thing, and it would even be the reason for being criticized in the future.

So he said, "this matter can only be understood, but it can't be explained in words. If you can do it, you will naturally please the emperor. Whether you can do it or not depends on you."

Tian Wen and Ji Tong look at each other. They are both smart people. They understand what Li San means.

"In that case, please allow us to discuss with Commander Li." Tian Wen said.

Li San nodded, "in that case, I will not disturb you." After that, Li San turned and left.

At this time Tian Wen said: "at this time it seems that the emperor means, but the emperor does not want to bear the charge of killing his brother."

"Yes, it's just that if we kill the fourth prince, the emperor will tear down the bridge in the future. I'm afraid our end will be hard."

"That's true, but if we please the emperor, the status of our two families will be preserved." Tian Wen has some expectations.

Ji Tong pondered for a while, and he said: "but I have a way to kill the fourth Prince rashly. Naturally, the crime is extremely serious. However, if we remove the charge of the fourth Prince and put him in prison, and then commit suicide in prison, it has nothing to do with us."

"Yes, brother Ji is really brilliant. In that case, we will invite the fourth prince to the banquet at noon today." Tian Wen said with a smile.

Ji Tong also laughed at the same time.

At noon, the fourth Prince and his bodyguard arrive as promised. Tian Wen has a banquet waiting for him and his family general. In the side rooms on both sides of the main hall, Ji Tong leads the trilogy. He can only call it Tian Wen's Cup wrestling.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Tian." The fourth Prince arched his way.

Tian Wen said cordially, "Your Highness has been in Bozhou for more than a year. Now I have time to invite your highness and your family members to a banquet. I'm really ashamed."

"It's serious outside the staff. I don't know the rules. I didn't come to visit you!" The fourth prince sat down and was about to become the new king of Yan. He was very happy.

After a pause, the fourth prince asked, "Yuanwai Tian invited us here to discuss Bozhou government affairs. I don't know what Yuanwai wants to discuss?"

All the people took their seats. Tian Wen zhengse said: "a few days ago, the people complained to someone that many good fields were occupied by his highness and brought into the imperial villa. Moreover, his highness also collected taxes from them privately. I don't know how his highness explained this?"

The fourth Prince's expression froze in an instant, and the other family members immediately calmed down, one by one showing the color of panic.

He really did it. He didn't trust the king of Yan or these Bozhou aristocrats, so he took advantage of the time to drive away the king of Yan to occupy the land and collect taxes to enrich his own Treasury for conscription.

After all, there was no army he could trust. He was always the puppet of these powerful families. However, the land he occupied was owned by the king of Yan, his son and the officials who fled with him.

He originally thought that the Tian family and the Ji family would turn a blind eye, but he didn't expect that Tian Wen would mention it at this time.

Eyes turned, the fourth Prince skin smile meat does not smile, way: "member outside this is what meaning?"

"What do you mean? Your highness, the matter of King Yan has not yet been settled. It is unknown whether the king Yan is his highness. It is not appropriate for your highness to occupy the land at this time. After all, the land now is the emperor's. as a governor of Bozhou, I have to take care of it. "

"The governor of Bozhou? I'm joking. When did you become an assassin The fourth Prince sneered.

Tian Wen then took out the imperial edict brought by Li San. He said: "this is the imperial edict. The emperor has appointed a certain governor of Bozhou. As a governor of Bozhou, the lower officials have the responsibility to administer the Royal Property for the emperor."

The fourth prince was shocked, and his eyes narrowed. Xiao Ming sealed Tian Wen, but he didn't care about him. Suddenly, he had a bad feeling in his heart, so he said: "Mr. Tian, you should pay attention to evidence. You can't convict me with a few naughty people's nonsense."Tian Wen said coldly, "then I'll make you convinced. Come on, take the books!"

As Tian Wen's voice falls, the door of the side room suddenly opens, and Ji Tong rushes out with his songs and surrounds the fourth prince.

This scene made the fourth Prince and his family turn pale. He vaguely understood something. He said with a sneer, "Xiao Ming is really tall. After enduring so long, he finally wants to fight me."

"Well, there's an account book with all your criminal evidence!" Tian Wen pointed to the account book in his hand, "what else can you say?"

How can the fourth Prince be willing to let go? Now that he is trapped by Tian Wen, he still keeps calm: "Mr. Tian, don't forget that we are all grasshoppers on a rope. Do you think the emperor will let you go in the future? This edict can make you an assassin today and kill you tomorrow. In this case, why is it necessary? You and I are united. This Yan state is not our has the final say. When Rong Huafugui comes to the end, he can't enjoy himself.

"Ridiculous, do you think that with the little people you recruit privately, you will be the opponent of the emperor? You're really good at calculating, but how can we go along with you? " Tian Wen then said: "fourth prince, your ambition is very clear. If you want to blame it, you are too greedy. We not only know about private soldiers, but also the emperor knows it clearly."

Having said that, Ji Tong immediately asked Bu Qu to detain the fourth Prince and others and put them in prison.

The next day, Li San got the news that the fourth Prince committed suicide in prison.

At this time, he immediately sent a secret guard to the prison to confirm. As Tian Wen said, he sneered twice. Tian Wen and Ji Tong are really old foxes.

Now that the fourth Prince is dead, we just need to get rid of the king of Yan and his son, and the state of Yan will be stable.
