The imperial court abolished several important princes one after another, and the vassal princes outside were all nervous, but it was a different matter when it came to the imperial court.

"In fact, as long as the emperor comes out, there is no vassal who dares to continue to resist!"

"It's time for the emperor to pursue the victory and wipe out all the vassal kings in one fell swoop."

"Your Majesty, we have abolished five princes in a row. It's time to take action against King Yan. King Yan is the head of all kings. As long as he surrenders, there will be no more vassal kings in Ming Dynasty from now on." Worry about the future!"

In the court hall, all the ministers were beaming with joy.Thinking of the successive good news from the court recently, everyone was very excited.

"Zicheng, Qi Aiqing, teacher, what do you think?"

The young emperor was also very excited when he sat on it, watching the eagerness in his eyes.Taichang Temple Minister and Hanlin Bachelor Huang Zicheng, Minister of War Qi Tai, and Hanlin Minister Fang Xiaoru, the three most trusted officials of the emperor, all nodded in unison.

Wei Guogong Xu Huizu's face showed worry, but he saw that all the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty were in agreement.Afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would be accused of helping King Yan and his sister, so in the end he could only keep his mouth shut.

"It should be fine. Qi Tai has been in charge of the Ministry of War for many years. Fang Xiaoru is famous for his wisdom and foresight, and their views should not be wrong. And even if there is a fight, the imperial court has millions of soldiers. And Yanjing only has tens of thousands of people, so it shouldn't be wrong. Something will happen!" After the emperor had decided to deal with Queen Yan next, Xu Huizu, who returned home, couldn't help but mutter to his subordinates in his study.

His subordinates quickly persuaded him, but standing at the door, he wanted to go to the study to ask his elder brother what happened to Dai Wangfei and his second sister, but Xu Zengshou was stunned.

Turning around slowly, thinking about the father who treated King Yan like father and son.Thinking of King Yan and eldest sister who treated him so well, thinking of his second sister who was demoted to a commoner by the acting king and whose whereabouts are still unknown.Looking back at the study with the door closed tightly, he thought of his elder brother's expression of no guilt after Sui'er and Xu'er fell into the water.Thinking of his elder brother's indifferent expression when he said lightly that the Dai Wang and the second sister were demoted to common people and exiled to another place.Xu Zengshou turned around suddenly, and immediately returned to his yard.

The imperial court was still thinking about what excuses to use to deal with King Yan of Yanjing, but at this time, a personal guard of the Xu Mansion who followed Xu Zengshou quietly left the capital and went straight to Yanjing.

The bodyguard next to my younger brother suddenly disappeared, and when this matter was reported to Wei Guogong Xu Yaozu, he was immediately shocked.When someone reported that Xu Zengshou had approached him when he was discussing matters in the study, he immediately became furious.

"Tell me what you did!" Kneeling his younger brother in the Xu family's ancestral hall, Xu Yaozu's neck became thick with anger.

Xu Zengshou is his father's youngest son and his youngest brother, who has been doted on since he was a child.Seeing him bowing his head and saying nothing now, Xu Yaozu raised his hands high for a long time, but he didn't continue the fight after all.

"In the future, we are never allowed to contact Yanjing again. Remember that we are just courtiers, and we must put the emperor and the country first in everything. As for the personal matters such as the relationship between children and children, we must let go if we can!"

Xu Zengshou didn't answer. After the gate of the ancestral hall behind was slammed shut, he trembled and then continued to kneel in silence.

The affairs of Duke Wei's mansion were reported to the palace by spies. On the second day, Emperor Zhu Yunqi met Xu Zengshou, who was already the governor of the left.

"Does Aiqing think that I did something wrong? Do you think that I have wronged King Yan, and that King Yan will definitely not rebel!"

Thinking that he would be punished by his brother because he did not agree with his brother's political views, Zhu Yunwen said in a good temper.

"Your Majesty, King Yan is the head of all kings, and he has a very high prestige in the army. He has already obtained everything he can get. He is already extremely rich and honorable. He will definitely not think about anything else!"

He said something that he didn't believe even himself, but at this moment, he could only say so.The emperor cut down the vassal, and his three sisters, together with their children, would be demoted to common people.He may even be locked in that narrow palace for the rest of his life, and suffer a lot of suffering for the rest of his life.And if King Yan really has great ambitions, at least King Yan will not harm his family at will.

Xu Zengshou is Xu Da's old son, so he is not very old.Looking at this Xu Zengshou who is only a few years older than himself, but innocent and stubborn.After all, Zhu Yunqi didn't want to explain to him, and wanted to persuade him not to be too naive.

"Go down!"

Impatiently waved him back, after Xu Zengshou went down.Zhu Yunqi decided that he never wanted to see this person again and could not reuse this person again.

At the end of June in the first year of Jianwen, Zhu Yunqi was thinking about what excuse he would use to arrest King Yan.In Yan Wang's mansion, Shi Gecheng, the head of the palace who had met him earlier and said a few words, suddenly sent a letter to report that Yan Wang was completely fine!

"The people who come here immediately imprisoned all the slaves and envoys of King Yan in Beijing, and ordered Qi Tai to interrogate them carefully. They also asked the chief envoy of Peking, Zhang Bing, and the commanders Xie Gui and Zhang Xin to act immediately, and immediately Capture King Yan and bring him to the capital!"

Zhu Yunqi, who felt cheated, was even more itchy at the moment when he thought of Yan Shizi who he had let go because of his soft heart.

"Your Majesty, King Yan has been pretending for so long, and the royal guards around him have contributed a lot. Why don't your majesty order them to press down all the important and important generals around King Yan and punish them together!" Looking at Yan Look at the familiar name on the letter sent by Prince Shi Gecheng.He didn't expect Chen Lin to be deceiving himself from the very beginning, thinking that if Chen Lin's affairs were seen by interested people, it would definitely put him and the Chen family at a disadvantage.So even though he was a bit reluctant, Chen Shui still wanted to kill his relatives righteously once.

"I understand. I will give an order. When all those slaves who dare to deceive the emperor come, I will interrogate them one by one and tell them what will happen to them if they dare to deceive the emperor!" abnormal.But seeing Chen Shui's loyalty at this moment, Zhu Yunqi's mood strangely improved a little.

Zhu Yunwen, who was in a better mood, immediately recruited Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru.Several people discussed it, and finally decided to follow the emperor's wishes, and immediately sent someone to arrest Yan Wang Zhu Di who was pretending to be paralyzed.But considering the power of King Yan, there are also a lot of guards in the palace.So everyone unanimously decided to be foolproof, and they must successfully arrest Yan Wang Zhu Di in one go.

The imperial court's order was sent down immediately, before the emperor's imperial decree was about to reach Yanjing.The servant next to Xu Zengshou, the governor of the left, sent another letter to Yan Wang's mansion.

Twelve days later, when the emperor's envoys had just arrived in Yanjing, the guards of Yan Palace dragged the body of Chang Shi Gecheng out of Yan Palace and threw it into a random grave!

Zhang Xin, who was in charge of monitoring King Yan, was shocked when he heard the news, and immediately took his hands down to the Luan Grave Mound.When he saw the horrific corpse devoured by wild dogs, even the well-informed Zhang Xin couldn't help feeling his scalp tingling.

He rushed to Beiping capital in a daze, and met the secret envoy of the imperial court.After receiving the secret order for them to seek to apprehend King Yan, half of his soul was lost.

Xie Gui and Zhang Bing beside them were discussing how to capture King Yan and how to avoid a direct conflict with the guards of King Yan's Mansion.But what Zhang Xin was thinking about was still the servant of the royal family who was twisted into a strange shape and swallowed by wild dogs.

"Sir, what's the matter with you?"

Some subordinates noticed that his face was not right and immediately worried, Zhang Xin, whose face was pale, froze, and immediately exited the Dusi Yamen under the pretext of feeling unwell.

Returning home distraught, Zhang Xin was restless.Seeing that the old mother was very worried, Zhang Xin immediately probed in a low voice: "If the mother is ordered by the court to arrest the king of Yan---"

"Capture King Yan!" The voice suddenly became louder, and Zhang's mother immediately said in shock: "You can catch King Yan, he is the prince and grandson of a nobleman, how can you touch such a person!"

I don't want my son to get involved in such a thing, I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, I'll burn myself.So Zhang's mother immediately talked about King Yan's merits over the years, and warned him that if he acted impulsively, it might bring misfortune to the whole family.

Frightened by his mother, Zhang Xin, who couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, broke out in a cold sweat, and finally decided to sneak a visit to Prince Yan's Mansion.

When Zhang Xin visited secretly, Zhu Di was discussing the next step with his subordinates.If the pretending to be paralyzed is seen through, the court is bound to take action.So at the moment everyone is discussing whether or not to raise the issue immediately, and what name should be used to raise the issue.

And Zhu Di, who knew that the imperial court had issued a secret edict, after receiving the news of Zhang Xin's visit, thought about it and immediately ordered his subordinates to bring Zhang Xin here.

"Your Highness, will there be fraud?" Thinking of this person's eyes staring at the palace from time to time since he came to Yanjing, Qiu Fu worried with lingering fear.

"He is here to help His Highness!" Afraid that King Yan would really hear Qiu Fu's words, he would drive out those who were willing to serve him.When discussing matters for several months, Chen Lin, who had always pretended to be dumb, opened his mouth without thinking much.

"How do you know?" Zhang Wu asked while rubbing his head.

Seeing that Chen Lin opened his mouth and looked like he didn't know how to answer, Zhang Fu who was beside him smiled and immediately whispered: "A group of idiots, the situation of our Highness is so special now. If it's not important, if It's not that he is determined to submit to His Highness, Zhang Xin, why did he take such a risk in the middle of the night and fall into the shoes of others!"

Zhang Fu is extremely smart, and his father is Zhang Yu, one of the most powerful generals around King Yan.Therefore, Zhang Wu and Qiu Fu, the generals who still have doubts about their work, can only accept the indecent title he gave abruptly.

And not long after, when Zhang Xin was kneeling below.After telling the secret edict of the imperial court and the actions of the Dusi Yamen tomorrow like pouring beans, everyone no longer cares about other things.

"My lord Commander's kindness, I will definitely remember!" Knowing that Zhang Xin couldn't stay for long, Zhu Di immediately gave him what he wanted to hear the most.

"There, there, this is what the subordinates should do!" The heart that had been hanging in mid-air in fear all day finally returned to its normal beating.Hastily said a lot of words of swearing allegiance to the death, seeing that the time was getting later and later, Zhang Xin reluctantly withdrew.

As soon as Zhang Xin withdrew, Zhu Di immediately stood up and said without hesitation, "Go to the Yuandian!"

The round hall is the place where the king of Yan and the generals of the guard army competed in martial arts, and it was also the place where the king of Yan marched and dispatched generals to deliver military orders.As soon as everyone knew that King Yan had made up his mind, they all followed up with great vigor and excitement.

The excitement of the crowd infected Chen Lin who was caught in it little by little, and followed everyone to the back of the round hall.Looking at the map of Yanjing that Zhang Yu and Ji Gang personally spread on the big table, Chen Lin's eyes widened in excitement!
