Chapter 653: 4 Prince's death

"The King Yan is dead! The King Yan is dead!"
One of the guards who protected King Yan shouted loudly, and the other guards immediately looked at King Yan who was lying in a pool of blood. At this moment, all the guards lost their intent to fight and they fled.
After the guards collapsed, the soldiers also lost their fighting spirit. Now that King Yan is dead, who would continue to work for King Yan?
Soon, the news of King Yan's death was spread to all parts of Yingzhou City along with the disintegrated soldiers. Under the influence of this news, the Yan army became a mess.
Cui Shangan was keenly aware of the changes in the Yan army, and he immediately led the soldiers to launch a fierce attack. At this time, the Yan army, who had been distracted by the army, kept retreating, and more and more Huainan army soldiers poured into the city.
At the same time that King Huainan attacked Yingzhou, Li San arrived in Bozhou. According to Xiao Ming's plan, at the same time that Yingzhou City was broken, the four princes should die.
After meeting the Tian family and Ji family head in Bozhou, Li San mentioned the killing of the four princes.
"Kill the four princes!" Tian Wen said in shock.
Ji Tong, the elder of the Ji family, was also surprised. He said, "Lord Li, is this really the emperor's order?"
Li San's eyes rolled. It was Xiao Ming's idea to kill the four princes, but Xiao Ming couldn't bear this matter. After all, the killing of brother was an unkind thing, and it would even become the cause of being attacked in the future. .
So he said: "This matter can only be understood and cannot be said, but if the two do it, they will naturally please the Lord. As for whether it is done or not, it depends on the two."
Tian Wen and Ji Tong looked at each other, both of them were smart people, and they understood what Li San meant.
"In that case, please lead Li to discuss with us." Tian Wen said.
Li San nodded, "In that case, I won't disturb the two of you." After that, Li San turned and left.
At this time Tian Wen said: "It seems that the emperor meant it at this time, but the emperor did not want to bear the charge of killing his brother."
"Yes, it's just that if we kill the four princes, and the emperor will cross the river to demolish the bridge in the future, we will probably not end well.
"That's the case, but if it pleases the emperor, the status of our two families will also be preserved." Tian Wen had some expectations.
Ji Tong pondered for a while, and he said: "But I have a way. It is natural to kill the four princes with a heinous crime. However, if the four princes are taken out and put him in prison, and then commit suicide in the prison, wouldn't it have nothing to do with us? ."
"Yes, Brother Ji is really clever. In that case, we will entertain the Fourth Prince at noon today and put on a Hongmen Banquet." Tian Wen laughed.
Ji Tong also laughed at the same time.
At noon, the four princes and their guards arrived as scheduled. 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 throw a cup for Tian Wen. number.
"Thank you Tian Yuan for your kindness!" The fourth prince arched his hands.
Tian Wen said cordially: "His Royal Highness has been in Bozhou for more than a year. I am ashamed to have time to invite His Royal Highness and all the family generals to come for a banquet!"
"The outsiders are serious, but the king doesn't understand the rules, so he didn't come to visit!" The fourth prince sat down straight, and he was about to become the new King Yan, he was very happy.
After a pause, the fourth prince asked; "Tian Yuan Wai invited us to discuss the government affairs of Bozhou. I don't know what Yuan Wai wants to discuss?"
Everyone was seated, and Tian Wenzheng said: "A few days ago, the people complained to a certain person, saying that many fertile fields were taken into the imperial estate by His Highness, and that His Highness also privately collected taxes from them. I wonder how His Highness explained this? "
The expressions of the four princes froze in an instant, and the other families immediately calmed down after hearing the words, and all of them showed horror.
He did this indeed. He didn’t trust King Yan or these Bozhou tycoons, so he seized the land while driving away King Yan and collected taxes to enrich his treasury for conscription. .
After all, there is no army that he can trust. He has always been the puppet of these tycoons, but the land he invaded is owned by King Yan and his son, as well as the officials who fled with King Yan.
He originally thought that Tian and Ji would close one eye, but he didn't expect Tian Wen to mention it at this time.
Turning his eyes, the fourth prince smiled without a smile, and said, "What does this mean outside the member?"
"What is it? The matter of King Yan has not been decided yet. It is unknown whether King Yan is his Highness. It is not appropriate for His Highness to invade the land at this time. After all, the land now is supposed to belong to the emperor. As Bozhou governor, he cannot Don't worry about it."
"Bozhou provincial governor? Yuanwai joked, when did Yuanwai become governor." The four princes sneered again and again.
Tian Wen took out the imperial decree brought by Li San at this time. He said: "This is the imperial decree. The saint has already named a Bozhou governor. As a Bozhou governor, the lower officials are responsible for the emperor's jurisdiction over the royal property."
The fourth prince was shocked. His eyes narrowed. Xiao Ming sealed Tian Wen but ignored him. Suddenly he felt a bad feeling in his heart, so he said: "Tian Cishi, everything is about evidence. I can’t be condemned by a few spooky nonsense!"
Tian Wen said coldly: "Then I will convince you, come, and bring the account book!"
As Tian Wen's voice fell, the door of the side room suddenly opened, and Ji Tong rushed out, leading the trilogy, and surrounded the four princes.
This scene made the four princes and Jia Jiang pale. He vaguely understood something. He sneered and said, "Xiao Ming is really high. He has tolerated it for such a long time, and finally he wants to do it on me.
"Huh, there is this account book that records all your crimes!" Tian Wen pointed to the account book in his hand, "What else can you say!"
How can the four princes be willing to catch it~EbookFREE.me~ Now that Tian Wen’s trap has been caught, he still remains calm: "Tian Shishi, don’t forget, we are all grasshoppers on a rope, you think Will the emperor let you go in the future? This imperial decree can make you a provincial governor today, and it will kill you tomorrow. If so, why is this? You and I join hands, this Yan Kingdom is not our final say. , Glory and wealth can never be enjoyed."
"It's ridiculous, do you think that some of the people you recruited privately will be the emperor's opponent? You really have a good calculation, but how can we get along with you!" Tian Wen said at this time: "Four princes, your ambition is clear. Jie, blame you for being too greedy. Not only do we know about this private placement soldier, but the emperor naturally knows it all."
After all, Ji Tong immediately asked Trilogy to detain the Four Princes and others into prison.
The next day, Li San got the news that the four princes had committed suicide in prison.
At this time, he immediately sent a secret guard to the prison to confirm it. As Tian Wen said, he sneered twice. Tian Wen and Ji Tong are really old foxes.
Now that the four princes are dead, now only need to remove the Yan Wang and the Yan Wang Shizi, the Yan kingdom will be stable.
