The four marquis have been inherited for thousands of years, and if you want to talk about conspiracies and tricks, open guns and hidden arrows, they are the best.

However, in the current situation, no means can work, and His Majesty the Emperor only needs them to step down. Therefore, even if Nanhou and Donghou wrote to beg for mercy, it would be useless, why did they know today?

Looking at the dozens of books piled high in front of him, Qin Huang sneered, and didn't even have the idea of looking through them.

"Ying Wei, tell King Ling, you're welcome, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, these people eat things inside and out, they don't deserve sympathy and forgiveness!"

"In addition, the heinous crimes of Nanhou and Donghou will be publicized to the world!"

Two orders were issued in a row, Emperor Qin's will was already very straightforward, Tang Ling was the sword in his hand, the blade of the sword was already hanging above the head of the four marquis at this time, it was time to fall.

The next morning, the corners of the prime minister's mouth trembled slightly, and his underwear was already soaked with sweat, but in this state, he had to read out the holy decree drawn up by Emperor Qin.

"The emperor said, my siblings, do not abide by the law of the country, despise the imperial power, entrench in the locality, call the country China, oppress the people, fish and meat in the country... Now there are four out of twenty heinous crimes, one of them... Thinking of the love of the blood... Leave the title, except for the fiefdom... To edict the descendants..."

A holy decree of a few hundred words, can read the prime minister's face is pale, his mouth is purple, and this big man who drafts the edict is also powerful.

However, this is not to blame the Prime Minister, the entire empire, even the common people know what his relationship with the four marquis is. At this moment, the emperor asked him to read out the decision on the treatment of the second of the four marquis, and the prime minister did not understand what His Majesty the Emperor wanted to express.

In particular, the sentence in the holy decree "colluding with the powerful in the DPRK and China and plotting against each other" is tantamount to making the words clear. The four marquis, the captain, the prime minister, the first two are all powerful people who hold military power, and originally he, the prime minister, is also an existence under one person and above tens of thousands of people.

However, there was a royal historian who disintegrated his henchmen in the place, and then there was the Ling Wan Chamber of Commerce to cut off his back road, because of the existence of the Ling Wan Chamber of Commerce, among the nine kings of the empire, the two most presumptuous have become decorations, and just right, these two are his most iron younger brothers.

Without the ability to control agriculture and commerce, and without military power, the whole family still lives in the imperial capital, under the feet of imperial power. There is no doubt that the two weakest of the four marquis are already ironclad, so who will be next, just look at the sympathetic gazes of the ministers below.

"Plop", after reading the holy decree, the Prime Minister didn't say anything, just knelt tremblingly at the feet of Emperor Qin.

"Turned back?" Faintly, Emperor Qin said.

"The sin of the minister deserves death!" With his forehead on the ground, the Prime Minister replied in a sad tone.

"I won't remove you, I won't punish you, what to do, I don't need me to teach you!" His eyes were slightly empty, and Emperor Qin had a faint imperial majesty on his body.

"You know!" Lifting his body slightly, the prime minister took out a book from his arms and handed it respectfully.

After the guards handed the book into the hands of Emperor Qin, he did not look at it, but looked at the Tai Lieutenant, who was also sweating profusely.

Quietly, Emperor Qin didn't say a word, and the entire hall seemed extremely depressed for a while, and after a while, Emperor Qin spoke: "Ying Yi, show Lord Taiwei the gift I prepared for him!" ”

"Huh"

Flashing out from behind the hall, the shadow came to the captain with a box. Stretching out his trembling right hand, the captain opened the box, and the ministers in the palace did not see what was in the box, but they could guess from the frightened expression of the captain that it contained something that could dash the last glimmer of hope for the captain.

"Plop", the captain was the same as the prime minister at this time, and he couldn't kneel for a long time.

"From today onwards, the fleet directly under the Taiwei will be changed to the fleet directly under the empire, does Aiqing have any objections?" Fiddling with the book in his hand, Emperor Qin said lightly.

"Don't dare!"

"Get up, I won't kill you either, but as a captain, you should let Xian!" Waving his hand, Emperor Qin looked a little bored.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" When he said this, the captain seemed to age ten years in an instant, as if his energy had been drained, and finally he was carried out of the hall by the guards.

······

On the second day after the announcement of the holy decree, Lang Zhongling and Wei Wei divided into two routes and went to Nanjun and Dongjun respectively.

At this time, the people of Dongjun were panicked, and when they saw Lang Zhongling driving into the county with a team of people, they hurriedly closed the door, and the more timid ones hid directly under the table and bed, holding their heads, waiting for the storm to come.

At the gate of the city, only a team of men and horses greeted him at this time.

Seeing the person who greeted him, Lang Zhongling put his hands together, his thumbs up, bent down slightly, and said, "Lord Liu!" ”

"General Wei!" Because he hugged Tang Ling's thigh and became the imperial supervisor of Dongjun, Liu Yan, the eldest man of the Liu family, although he has experienced earth-shaking changes in the past few months, but even so, when Lang Zhongling greeted him, he still looked helpless, it was really because the status of the big man in front of him was too high, so when he saluted, Liu Yan deliberately bent lower than Lang Zhongling to show respect.

"Lord Liu, where is Donghou?" After meeting, Lang Zhongling asked for the first time.

"In the county mansion, yesterday night, after receiving the order of His Majesty the Emperor, the marines sent by His Royal Highness King Ling carried out a surprise attack on the county mansion, but the Donghou was full of cunning, and was finally captured by another team of marines outside the city!" While walking, Liu Yan briefly introduced to Lang Zhongling.

"Your Highness is still fast, if you wait for us to come, it is estimated that they will run away early!"

"The general is too worried, not only is the canal leading to the sea in the county town blocked by us, but there is also the air force of Baochuan Island in the sky to closely monitor it, he can't run away!"

"Hahaha, when you meet Your Highness, this old boy is unlucky!"

The two of them soon came to the county hall, and as soon as they entered the lobby, they saw that the number 100 people were being detained here, and all around, on the wall, at intervals, there was a Marine staring at these people with a gun at every distance, and when he raised his head, several patrol airboats were suspended in all directions in the air.

For such a configuration, Lang Zhongling nodded secretly, and it was difficult to fly with wings, describing Donghou and his family at this time.

"Master Hou, Your Majesty asked me to pick you up!" The title is retained, but from now on, they can only live in the imperial capital, under the nose of His Majesty the Emperor.

In the face of Lang Zhongling, Donghou didn't say anything, just a lonely face, and then looked back at the magnificent county town behind him, Donghou was still silent.

"Master Hou, we're in a hurry!" The other party was immersed in memories, and Lang Zhongling was not so interested, so he reminded him very unwittingly.

Knowing that at this time, Donghou still didn't say a word, and after being called back to his senses by Lang Zhongling, he helped up a group of family members, glanced at Lang Zhongling lightly, and walked towards the door first.
