"King Yan is dead! King Yan is dead! ”

One of the guards protecting King Yan shouted, and the other guards immediately looked at King Yan who was lying in a pool of blood, and at this moment, all the guards lost their will to fight, and they fled one after another. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

And after the collapse of the guards, the soldiers also lost their will to fight, and now that King Yan is dead, who is willing to continue to work for King Yan?

Soon, the news of King Yan's death spread throughout Yingzhou City with the scattered soldiers, and under the influence of this news, the Yan army was in chaos.

Cui Shangan was keenly aware of the changes in the Yan army, and he immediately led his soldiers to launch a fierce attack, at this time, the already disheartened Yan army continued to retreat, and more and more Huainan soldiers poured into the city at this time.

At the same time that the King of Huainan attacked Yingzhou, Li San arrived in Bozhou, and at the same time that the city of Yingzhou was broken according to Xiao Ming's plan, the four princes should also die.

After meeting the Tian family and the Ji family patriarch in Bozhou, Li San mentioned the killing of the four princes.

"Kill the Four Princes!" Tian Wen was shocked.

Ji Tong, the patriarch of the Ji family, also looked surprised, and he said, "Commander Li, is this really the emperor's order?" ”

Li San's eyes rolled, this killing of the four princes was naturally Xiao Ming's idea, but this matter could not be borne by Xiao Ming, after all, killing his brother was an unkind thing, and it would even become the reason for being attacked in the future.

So he said: "This matter can only be understood, not spoken, but if the two of you do it, you will naturally please the saint, and it depends on the two of you whether you can do it or not." ”

Tian Wen and Ji Tong glanced at each other, both of them were smart people, and they understood what Li San meant.

"In that case, please allow the two of us to discuss." Tian Wen said.

Li San nodded, "Since that's the case, I won't bother the two of you." With that, Li San turned around and left.

At this time, Tian Wen said: "At this time, it seems that it is the emperor's intention, but the emperor does not want to bear the charge of killing his brother." ”

"That's right, it's just that if we kill the four princes, the emperor will cross the river and tear down the bridge in the future, and I'm afraid we won't have a good end."

"That's so, but if you please the emperor because of this, the status of our two families will be preserved." Tian Wen was looking forward to it.

Ji Tong pondered for a moment, and he said: "But I have a way, it is naturally a great crime to kill the four princes rashly, but if the four princes are charged with the crime, put him in prison, and then commit suicide in the prison, wouldn't it have nothing to do with us." ”

"That's right, Brother Ji is really smart, in this case, we will invite the four princes to a banquet at noon today, and put on a Hongmen banquet." Tian Wen said with a smile.

Ji Tong also laughed at the same time.

At noon, the four princes arrived as promised with the guards, Tian Wen set up a banquet in the mansion and was waiting for him and the generals, in the side rooms on both sides of the main hall, Ji Tong led the trilogy and could only Tian Wen's cup for the number.

"Thank you Tian Yuanwai for your kindness!" The four princes arched their hands.

Tian Wen said cordially: "Your Highness has been in Bozhou for more than a year, and it is really ashamed to take the time to invite His Highness and all the generals to come to the banquet now!" ”

"It's serious, but the king doesn't know the rules, and he didn't come to visit!" The fourth prince sat down straight, and he was about to become the new Yan King, and he was very happy in his heart.

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

Everyone sat down, and Tian Wen Zhengse said: "A few days ago, the people complained to a certain person, saying that a lot of good land was forcibly occupied by His Royal Highness and included in the Imperial Village, and His Royal Highness also collected taxes from them privately, I don't know how His Royal Highness explained this matter?" ”

The expressions of the four princes froze instantly, and the other generals suddenly quieted down when they heard this, and their faces showed horror one by one.

Speaking of which, he didn't trust the King of Yan or these Bozhou tycoons, so he took advantage of the time to drive away the King of Yan and encroached on the land, and collected taxes to enrich his treasury for conscription.

After all, there is no trustworthy army for him, he has always been a puppet of these wealthy clans, but the land he invaded belonged to King Yan and his sons, as well as the officials who fled with King Yan.

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

His eyes rolled, and the fourth prince smiled without smiling, and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"What do you mean? His Royal Highness's matter of King Yan has not yet been decided, and it is unknown whether this King Yan is His Royal Highness, and it is not appropriate for His Royal Highness to encroach on the land at this time, after all, the current land is logically owned by the emperor, and this official has to take care of it as the assassin of Bozhou. ”

"The history of Bozhou thorns? It's a joke outside the staff, when did the outside become a thorn in history. The four princes sneered.

Tian Wen took out the holy decree brought by Li San at this time, and he said: "This is the holy decree, the saint has already sealed a certain title as the history of the Bozhou assassin, as the history of the Bozhou assassin, the lower officials have the responsibility to govern the royal property for the emperor." ”

The fourth prince was shocked, his eyes narrowed, Xiao Ming sealed Tian Wen, but he ignored him, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, so he said: "Tian Thorn History, everything pays attention to evidence, you can't convict me with a few Diao Min's nonsense!" ”

Tian Wen said coldly: "Then I will convince you, come here, bring the account book!" ”

As Tian Wen's words fell, the door of the side room suddenly opened, and Ji Tong rushed out with his subordinates, surrounding the four princes.

This scene made the faces of the four princes and the generals turn pale, he vaguely understood something, and he sneered, "Xiao Ming is really tall, he has endured it for so long, and he is finally going to do something to me." ”

"Hmph, there's this account book that records all your incriminating evidence!" Tian Wen pointed to the account book in his hand, "What else do you have to say!" ”

How could the fourth prince be willing to be captured, now that he has fallen into Tian Wen's trap, he still keeps calm: "Tian Tingshi, don't forget, we are all grasshoppers on a rope, do you think the emperor will let you go in the future?" This decree can make you a assassin today, and tomorrow it will kill you, so why bother? You and I join forces, this Yan Kingdom is not our final say, and when the time comes, the glory and wealth will be inexhaustible. ”

"Ridiculous, do you think that with the little people you recruited privately, you will be the emperor's opponent? You're really a good plan, but how can we be like you! Tian Wen said at this time: "The fourth prince, your ambition is obvious, if you want to blame it, you are too greedy, not only do we know about this private soldier, but the emperor naturally knows it clearly." ”

After that, Ji Tong immediately asked the subordinates to detain the four princes 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, and sure enough, as Tian Wen said, he sneered twice, this Tian Wen and Ji Tong are really old foxes.

Now that the four princes are dead, now they only need to get rid of King Yan and the prince of Yan Wang, and the country of Yan will be stable.
