Chapter 262: Clear the Court and Get Rid of the Tyrant
Hearing Jiang Chen's question, Le Bo couldn't help but turn his head and look towards Ban Cheng.
He was very curious about what conditions this close friend of his father had agreed to from Jiang Chen.
In response to Jiang Chen's reminder, Ban Cheng nodded slowly.
"Don't worry, Duke Fuguo, I can't go back on my words once they're spoken."
Having said that, Ban Cheng kowtowed to Jiang Chen and shouted loudly.
"I am Bancheng, and I am here to greet you, my lord!"
Following Ban Cheng's loud shout, both Le Bo and the envoys from Qi State.
Everyone present was stunned!
They simply couldn't believe their ears, Ban Cheng, a great scholar of the time.
He actually called Jiang Chen "Lord"! !
What happened in this matter that made Bancheng submit to Jiang Chen?
Looking at Ban Cheng kneeling before him, Jiang Chen said nothing.
He just nodded lightly and said to Le Bo beside him.
"General Le, all of your Qi's 20,000 prisoners of war are waiting outside the pass."
"I have prepared enough dry food for you. You can leave on your own."
After saying that, Jiang Chen stood up and walked to Ban Cheng, then stretched out his hand and helped Ban Cheng up.
"Mr. Ban, please get up."
Jiang Chen said as he helped Ban Cheng up.
After helping this great scholar up, Jiang Chen said with a smile as he looked at the conflicted look on his face.
"Mr. Ban, please trust me. Later, you will be secretly glad for your choice today."
"Okay, Xiang Huo, show the guests away!"
After saying that, Jiang Chen walked out of the tent without looking back.
Looking at Jiang Chen's departing back, everyone in the tent was at a loss.
Seeing that no one responded for a long time, Prime Minister Huo waved to the silver-armored guards outside the tent.
Upon seeing this, a group of silver-armored guards rushed into the tent and "politely" invited Le Bo and the envoys out.
After being "asked to leave" the tent by the Silver-Armored Guards, Le Bo looked at Ban Cheng who was still in the tent with a complicated expression.
It was only then that he knew...
It turns out that the reason Jiang Chen agreed to release him unconditionally was because Ban Cheng agreed to be loyal to Jiang Chen.
However, Le Bo never knew that the people who were really plotting against him were from Qi State!
And the letter that Jiang Chen gave Ban Cheng to read that day was nothing else.
It was the information that Qi was about to give up on redeeming Le Bo!
Moreover, many high-level officials from Qi State were involved in this matter.
It was precisely because of this that Ban Cheng finally saw clearly the current situation of Qi State.
In today's Qi State, Emperor Tian Min can still command the world.
However, as the power of the major families grew, their ambitions gradually became apparent.
As mentioned before, the reason why Tian Min was able to maintain his rule over Qi.
This is because the three states belong to the royal family, and they have strong military forces.
Possessing the strength that can definitely crush the other major families!
But Tian Min had a fatal flaw that was firmly grasped by other families.
That is, food!!
In the three states governed by the royal family, there are simply not many places for farming.
Therefore, the soldiers under Tian Min's command relied entirely on several other major families to provide food and fodder.
Thinking of this, Ban Cheng turned around and bowed helplessly in the direction of Qi State.
After being asked to leave the tent by Huo Xiang and others, Le Bo and a group of envoys left Juyu Pass.
The 20,000 captured Qi soldiers were now all standing in an orderly manner outside Juyu Pass.
As Le Bo appeared in their sight, all the soldiers knelt on the ground.
"I've met the general!"
Hearing the shouts of the soldiers, Le Bo's eyes became moist.
"Everyone, get up! I will take you home!"
Le Bo wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and shouted loudly to the soldiers.
The words "I will take you home" instantly touched the hearts of these soldiers.
"I'll wait. As you command!"
Just like that, under the leadership of Le Bo.
Five thousand delegation members and twenty thousand soldiers set out together and headed towards the territory of Qi.
Before leaving, they followed the agreement with Jiang Chen.
All the property used to redeem the 20,000 surrendered soldiers was left in the camp.
Looking at the property , Prime Minister Huo smiled slightly.
"It's a good thing these guys didn't break their promise."
…
At the same time, in the Ming Dynasty.
As Xu Shen led an army of 10,000 to counterattack Yunzhou, the entire Ming Dynasty fell into complete chaos.
Xu Shen led his troops and captured the entire Yunzhou in just three days.
In addition, before Zhu Qizhen could react, Xu Xiao's former subordinates rose up in rebellion.
Zhu Qizhen has completely lost control of the entire Ming Dynasty.
For a time, petitions lined up like a queue.
They were sent to Zhu Qizhen's desk one after another!
Looking at these memorials and documents, Zhu Qizhen slumped down on the dragon throne powerlessly .
"These traitors, how dare they betray me like this!"
"I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I am the Supreme Being!"
The endless feeling of powerlessness made this usually extremely tyrannical emperor lose his former pride.
At this time, Zhu Qizhen was the only one left in the huge imperial study.
Zhu Qizhen, who didn't notice this at all, was still shouting loudly.
"Wang Ying, where is Wang Ying!?"
"Someone come quickly, I want to escape, I want to find Shannei Hou."
At this time, Zhu Qizhen was determined to escape from Jijing City, which was surrounded by enemies.
As long as he can escape to Shanneihou's fiefdom, he will be safe!
But when Zhu Qizhen came to his senses, he found that he was the only one in the entire imperial study.
Just when he was puzzled, the door of the imperial study was kicked open by someone.
Hearing the door being kicked open, Zhu Qizhen quickly looked over.
Under his gaze, Wang Ying rushed in with a team of imperial guards.
"Wang Ying obeyed the order of Marquis Wei to clear the court and remove the tyrant!"
"Your Majesty, should I do it myself, or do you want to do it yourself?"
Wang Ying looked at Zhu Qizhen sinisterly and said coldly.
Looking at the servant who used to please me in every way, he is now so rude to me.
Zhu Qizhen's face turned pale and blue...
In this way, Zhu Qizhen was controlled by Wang Ying and his men.
The entire Ming royal family had no time to react and was controlled by Xu Xiao's men.
Surrounded by a group of soldiers, Xu Xiao slowly rode his horse into the Golden Palace.
As Xu Xiao entered the Golden Palace, the civil and military officials who were held hostage immediately pointed at his nose and started cursing.
"Xu Xiao, you traitor!"
"How dare you do such a cruel thing? Are you worthy of the emperor's grace?"
"Bah, we are ashamed to be associated with you!"
Facing the insults hurled at him by a crowd of civil and military officials, Xu Xiao walked away expressionlessly.
The next second, the people who cursed the loudest fell in a pool of blood.
