King Yan died before dawn came.

The news of the defeat of the Yan army in Qi came back in the middle of the night, because the palace gate was closed, and the palace people were not able to get this important military information in time. And by the time he knew, it was too late.

At the critical moment, Prince Dan showed the power he had been secretly cultivating. When a side door of the palace was quietly opened for him, the royal courtiers who had followed him in the dark suddenly discovered the horror of this highness.

No one knew that from a long time ago, Prince Dan had the ambition to covet the throne. As the most capable son of the Yan royal family, he is never willing to do nothing in his life. Originally, after the death of the crown prince, he had successfully seen hope. If you wait with peace of mind, you can naturally ascend to that throne naturally.

However, the development of the situation was beyond his expectations, and Yan Wang's mind became more and more difficult to guess. Before him, if you add the crown prince, there have been three royal princes who have died for different reasons. He doesn't want to be the fourth!

The original hesitant heart, with the arrival of the news of the defeat of the Yan army, forced him to make a decision immediately. If he doesn't take advantage of this opportunity to seize supreme power, then it is very likely that there will be no chance for him or the future of Yan Guo.

Since Prince Dan has made up his mind, these ministers who support him are naturally very excited. King Yan's tactics of playing power in the past few years, coupled with his brutality and anger, have already caused his ministers to deviate from morality and secretly hold a grudge. Even if they are killed for no reason in order not to be angry one day, they will have to fight hard.

The power that Prince Dan has secretly cultivated in recent years also has hundreds of warriors. Although the number of people is not large, they are all willing to die for it. If you add the manpower of several ministers' palaces, there are as many as five or six hundred people in total. It's enough to achieve great things. What's more, there is also an internal response in the royal palace that can provide them with the greatest help.

If it's late, it will change, just do it! The centaurs, who had been organized as fast as they could, quickly entered the palace under the cover of night. An unexpected change in the court inevitably happened.

Soon after, King Yan, who was awakened from his sleep, saw his son and several ministers who had relied on him in the prime of life. They stood in front of them with gloomy faces, blood dripping from the tips of their swords.

"What are you going to do?! Unfilial son...... Who let you break into the palace without permission? ”

There was no fear in King Yan's eyes, only anger. Although he had already realized what he wanted to do from the first time he saw Prince Dan appear. But he still couldn't believe that this son, who was extremely respectful and obedient to him on weekdays, would dare to kill his father and kill the king!

However, King Yan was wrong. The young man standing in front of him had already been red-eyed under the stimulation of power. If there was only this sword distance from the Yan throne, then he would never mind stabbing this sword!

"Father, our Yan Kingdom's army has failed! More than 30,000 soldiers from General Shile down have all died on the land of Qi...... You're afraid you don't know about such a big thing, right? ”

Prince Dan lowered his head and did not meet King Yan's gaze. The old man in front of him had taught him a lot of things. And that includes doing whatever it takes to get what you want most! He's going to achieve that long-awaited goal now, and I just hope he doesn't blame it!

King Yan, who was in a rage, was obviously taken aback. The news came as a big surprise to him. He pushed away a few of his closest attendants who were protecting him, and angrily pointed at the people who had broken into his dormitory, and scolded loudly.

"You! And you guys! Is it really enough to spread rumors and deceive the king like this? ”

Feeling the anger in King Yan's eyes, several ministers were a little awe-inspiring in their hearts. Yan Guoxiang sighed slightly, he took a step forward and stood beside Prince Dan.

"My lord, what Prince Dan said is true, this is the urgent news we just received...... The army of Qi was defeated and the whole army was killed! Even the cavalry of the Qin State and Mu Xueqing, who was known as the famous general of the world, were all killed in battle! The most difficult moment for the Yan Kingdom is coming soon. ”

Hearing his answer, King Yan not only didn't believe it, but became even more angry. He drew his sword from the side and summoned the guards.

"Hurry up! Take down all these rebellious guys. ”

However, no matter how much he shouted, the palace was empty, and there was no response. But seeing that Prince Dan raised his head, he said indifferently.

"Father, save your efforts, there is no one outside anymore...... Your loyal guards, they've all just been killed. ”

"Rebel! No wonder you didn't go to the army and sneaked back. It turned out that I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble! What a damn ......! ”

Before the words fell, a sword was used in the chest, stabbing Prince Dan directly. King Yan is also the master of killing people without blinking, as long as he poses a threat to him, even if it is his own son, he will be eliminated.

It's just that at this point, if you want to kill Prince Dan again, it's not easy to say! A knife reached out from the side, and it easily knocked away King Yan's sword. Then the light flickered, blood splattered, and several attendants who roared and rushed up to protect King Yan had all died on the spot in the blink of an eye.

Prince Dan didn't move, as if he had long expected what would happen. The person beside him withdrew his sword, his cloth was draped in hair, and his expression was indifferent. In the past few years, this royal prince has bought the hearts of Corporal Lixian and gathered a large number of loyal people. And the most powerful of them is the swordsman who shot just now. His name is Leaving the Young. This hidden swordsman was not very famous at this time, but when he took the sword to the Qi country in the near future, he would be widely known because of a major event that shook the world!

King Yan, who was so offended, was splashed with blood on his face and body. It's just that at this moment, he can't care about these things. Because, under his angry gaze, Prince Dan pulled out the sword he was wearing. And this sword is the one he personally gave him yesterday.

"Father, the situation in the Yan Kingdom is about to be critical, and the society is the most important, I hope you can understand the hard work of your son!"

Prince Dan said in his mouth, and the sword in his hand did not hesitate, and directly stabbed into King Yan's chest. Everyone took a step back, although they were all mentally prepared, but they couldn't help but feel a deep chill when they saw this young man killing the king and killing his father.

King Yan felt a sharp pain in his heart, and his eyes suddenly burst into brilliance. At this moment, not only did he not struggle and scold, but laughed silently. Prince Dan withdrew his long sword and watched indifferently as the blood gushed out from the wound, but he heard King Yan say with an intermittent smile.

"Good, good...... You're good! Worthy of my son...... You should have such courage! Yan Guo is in your hands, and I am relieved...... I hope you will have this ruthlessness when you play against strong enemies in the future! Hahaha! ”

In the midst of the miserable laughter, King Yan's body fell backwards and died. Prince Dan fell to his knees, and the other ministers also knelt down. He swore an oath in a deep voice.

"Father, rest assured, I will definitely protect Jicheng, defeat the invading Zhao army, and take back all the lost land......!"

It's just that King Yan will never hear these words of his. Since then, any rise and fall of the land of Yan has nothing to do with him.

When Prince Dan, who had killed King Yan with his own hands, stood up to face everyone again, these ministers, including Prime Minister Yan, all had respectful looks on their faces. They looked at each other, and they couldn't hide the surprise in their hearts. It turned out that everyone had mistaken this young man in the past. Who would have thought that under his slightly melancholy appearance, he had such a ruthless and decisive means!

"The king unfortunately contracted an illness and died, this is a great misfortune for the Yan Kingdom! When this army was defeated and in danger, His Royal Highness was duty-bound to take on the great responsibility of the country. The old minister asked His Highness to go to the front hall immediately, summon the internal and external ministers, etc., ascend the throne, and preside over the plan! ”

As soon as Yan Guoxiang said his word, everyone rushed to echo it. For them, they are willing to risk their lives to help Prince Dan, isn't this the result they want?

So, after controlling the entire palace, without waiting for dawn, Prince Dan ascended to the throne with their joint support. Then, in the name of King Yan, he immediately sent envoys out to all the royal courtiers in Jicheng, ordering them to enter the palace immediately.

At this time, the light of day was gradually brightening, and the news of the defeat of the Yan army in the Qi State had also reached the ears of many people through various channels. This is, of course, a big surprise. At this time, he received an order from King Yan, and he thought that he must have entered the palace to discuss it. At this juncture, no one dares to slack off at will. Soon, the ministers of the Yan Kingdom, dressed in morning dew, came from all directions of Jicheng.

It's just that after they entered the palace, they found that there seemed to be something abnormal, and the atmosphere in the palace was very different from usual. And when they entered the council hall, they were all stunned. Because, in the heavily guarded hall, King Yan disappeared, and the young man sitting high above was Prince Dan.

Except for some people who knew the inside story, the other ministers were a little confused. But their doubts didn't last long, and everyone heard a shocking news.

King Yan died of illness last night. Prince Dan rushed back to inherit the throne urgently to deal with the impending crisis facing the Yan Kingdom!

This really changed the world overnight! King Yan was obviously fine a few days ago, how could he say that he was dead? Many people suppressed the horror in their hearts, looked up at Prince Dan who was wearing the crown, and seemed to understand something.

It's just that at this moment, the people in this hall didn't expect that the situation in Jicheng had not stopped, and Zhao Jun's soldiers had already come in a hurry!
