The fire in the Great Prince's eyes becaenerals in the room and said in a cold voice, ”Does everyone understand what I said?”
The rooeneral with a heavy face knelt with one knee on the ground and said with gritted teeth, ”I don't understand”
”Do you need me to read the posthumous edict once more?” The Great Prince watched his eyes and asked icily”The Crown Prince colluded with Northern Qi and Dongyi assassins to kill the E Mountain in an attempt to steal the throneAfterward, he framed Sir Fan juniorSince I have already accepted the former Emperor's imperial edict, those who need to be disciplined will be disciplined!”
The general glanced at the thin piece of paper at the Great Prince's side and narrowed his eyes”Your Highness, who knohether the so-called posthumous edict is real or fake?”
The Great Prince looked at him coldlyHe then slowly took out a box from his clothes and placed it on the table
The box was openedInside it was a small sealIt was the E forsmoothly passed on
Once the Royal Seal caed draround and bowed in the direction of the sealNo one said a word
”Awaiting Your Highness'rid of the rebels according to imperial orders and has ordered aze slowly slid past the faces of the generals kneeling on the ground to read h he had listened to Fan Xian's advice and inserted many of his trusted aides into the Imperial Army after he had settled into the command, there were still many remnants of Yan Xiaoyi's power from when he controlled the Imperial ArmyIf he wanted to rely on this Royal Seal and posthulyThe corners of the Great Prince's eyes twitchedHe laughedin the world was that easy

Their faces turned coldTheyof misfortune as they walked out of the ranksAll five were subordinates that had been pro Yan Xiaoyi's time
The Great Prince looked coldly at these five peopleAfter pausing for a moment, he faintly said, ”You all knohy I have called you out”
One general's face was the color of dirtWith a thud, he knelt in front of the Great Prince and said, ”Your Highness! I swear I follow you blindly and have no other thoughts”
The Great Prince looked at him and noddedGently, he said, ”I'll have to ask you to stay in this rooeneral's expression changed, but he nodded his head in the end and returned back to the side of the wall
The emotions in the hearts of the other four were couarded by the Great Prince's trusted soldiers in this secret rooe into the Palace?
The four men met each other's eyesIt was the person who had spoken first who opened hisHe had been personally pro that the Great Prince had rebelled, he kneould not be toleratedHis identity had already been set, so he could not just wait helplessly to be tied up
Chen Yijiang was silent for a hness, at this moment, at least 600 or 700 of the 2,000 ihness, hoill you suppress these soldiers without our help?”
He abruptly raised his head and sdou at any ti MountainWhat will you use to resist those savage beasts? I dare ask that you consider again so that you won't put your own life in danger”
Although these words were spoken severely, the silent officers in the roo's weak final struggle
”I never need to think again about the things I have already decided”
The Great Prince looked coldly at Chen YijiangA sense ofintent that had honed when he had killed Hu people in the West
Chen Yijiang's heart trerasped the knife at his waist and pulled it out with a clash before charging toward the Great Prince
The angry roar was cut off in thespears pierced with unusual cruelty into Chen Yijiang's body, skewering hi hi's azed with dissatisfied hopelessness at the Great Prince aspears as his head drooped and he died
At the saed, the other three generals Yan Xiaoyi had left behind also pulled out their knives and charged bravely and hopelessly forwardHowever, the room was filled with the Great Prince's trusted aidesA nuht flashed under the red lanterns
The bodies fell to the groundThe stench of blood gradually roseThe four generals of the Imperial Army died sullenly
The Great Prince calmly looked at the bodies by his feetHe suddenly turned his head to glance at the last generalThe o forwardInvoluntarily, he shook his head and quietly cursed so
”Watch him well” The Great Prince ordered his trusted aides and then walked out of theup to the tall palace walls, the Great Prince stood in a tower buildingHis hand gently stroked the city-guarding crossbows that were firht of the crossbow and toward the square outside the Royal Palace, as well as the four streets already controlled by the Imperial Army
”As per your orders, the 600 people are all off duty right now” The trusted aide that arranged for Fan Xian to lead a group into the Palace stood behind the Great Prince and reported in a low voice
Using half a day, the Great Prince uard scheduleHe successfully moved the 600 i the four already dead generals
The Great Prince faintly said, ”Is everything ready?”
The officer raised his head to glance at the Great Prince and reported with unswerving determination, ”One thousand, two hundred people have already surrendered the area and can take action at any ti inside the caround as 1,200 soldiers loyal to the Great Prince had snuck in the dark and surrounded the 600 soldiersOnce the order came down, they would raise their knives and clean out the last of the restless faction
”Those soldiers should still be sleeping” The Great Prince's expression was a bit coood to die in one's dream”
In the past, the Great Prince had personally led tens of thousands of troops on a Western expedition and completed many meritorious feats by Xi LakeHis most commendable quality, which also inspired his troops to be loyal to him to the death, was his love of his soldiers like they were his childrenHowever, kindness could not maintain an ardom's future, the Great Prince's heart was likeyour orders, Commander” The trusted aide didn't knohat the Great Prince was thinking and was a bit worriedHe thought to hihness's heart suddenly turned soft at this point, no one kneould happen toly and pulled his gaze back from the private residences in the dark to turn his head and look at the Royal Palace enveloped by a dark night
He watched for a long tiive out the order because the rear of the Palace was so quiet
”It is not ently patted the heavy city-guarding crossbow under his palm”If we act first, we may surprise the people in the PalaceFan Xian will decide when it is time to make a move”
He looked at the silent Palace and couldn't help but shake his headHe actually had a lot in co crossbow on the palace wallsAlthough he had great power, he was bound, hand and foot, by specific and illusory thingsHe could only point the crossboard the outside and not allow it to be pointed inside the Palace
