Chapter 473: Shocking Death

The carriage slowly drove to the large square in front of the palace, and stopped at the bottom of the white jade steps. Under the steps, the batches of civil and military officials who were summoned stopped. He looked at the carriage and the soldiers escorting the carriage with complicated expressions.

This is the carriage that the former Prime Minister Ye Tiannan rode.

Over the years, the aristocratic and wealthy families in Jicheng have lived a thrilling life. It is really the king's banner that changes at the top of the city. Seeing him build a tall building, seeing his building collapse. First, the Linghu Clan collapsed. After two years without Ansheng, Ye Tiannan, the Ye Clan who brought down Linghu Chao, was forced to resign and sadly returned to the fief Langya. Doctor Ning Zecheng was ransacked and imprisoned again. The successive political upheavals made people dizzy and at the same time caused turmoil within the country of Yan. Some people were worried, but some were excited. Perhaps this time of great turmoil is just the time for the country of Yan to be reborn from the cocoon and transformed into a phoenix from nirvana.

The old order was broken, and the new dignitaries stepped on the bones of the old people to rise up. The so-called new people and new atmosphere may sweep away the lifeless old spirit of Yan Kingdom.

Some families are happy and some are sad, some are unlucky, others will be prosperous naturally, when stepping on this step, civil and military officials have different moods, but at this moment, seeing the carriage escorting Ye Tiannan arrive outside the palace, everyone's mood is different It's been surprisingly consistent again.

They still have freedom, they can still stand here, they can still go to the palace to discuss politics, and they are still one of the top dignitaries in the Yan Kingdom. However, this person in front of him has experienced great ups and downs for decades, and fell from the peak every time. years ago. The Ye family was almost wiped out, and it would not be easy to be the master of the family again, but this time, it was going to fall to the end.

Gao Yuan has been labeled a rebellious man. Tan Feng. Zhou Yu led an army of tens of thousands to encircle and suppress, as Gao Yuan's father-in-law. Naturally, he would be seated together, but when Ye Tiannan married his daughter a while ago, he was afraid that it would not be grand enough, or that it would not be eye-catching enough. The dowry given to a daughter can be described as appalling, even if the Wang family married a princess, there is no such huge dowry.

Now, this has become one of Ye Tiannan's biggest crimes, and also one of the evidences of his conspiracy with Gao Yuan.

The Ye family will finally be completely wiped out from Yan Kingdom.

All the officials looked at the carriage with pity in their eyes. No matter how you say it, the Ye family is also one of the long-established nobles in the Yan Kingdom. In less than twenty years, they suffered two serious injuries. No matter how thick the foundation is, I can't afford it.

Looking at the carriage, and then looking at the majestic palace, everyone's eyes could not help showing fear. The new king, from an exiled prince, can return to the country to inherit the throne. No one would believe that the new king did not have his own strategies in this.

And back home,

This king seems to be silent, and he pays all the government affairs to a few ministers. He doesn't seem to have any special talents, but in just a few years, the ministers who helped him come to power all fell down one by one. Damei, Ning Zecheng was imprisoned and ransacked his home, Ye Tiannan saw the same fate, and Zhou Yuan, defeated Donghu, although Donghu promised to let him back, but this defeat, someone has to be responsible, except Zhou Yuan, who can Who can afford such a crime? On the day Zhou Yuan came back, the door of the prison was also opened for him.

"Tiannan, Tiannan!" There was a voice calling from a distance, and everyone looked up, but it was Xun Xiu, who was dressed in commoner clothes, and was walking towards here with the support of two family members.

During the mutiny in Jicheng, the king relied on Xun Xiu and Ye Zhong. However, after taking down the Ning family and his henchmen, the king immediately attacked these two people. Ye Zhong ran fast, otherwise Now there is definitely a place for him in the prison, but Xun Xiu, because of his great reputation, finally just dismissed him from office.

Xun Xiu's face was full of sadness. Compared with two years ago, he was much older, his hair was covered with silk like snow, and his face was full of wrinkles. Compared with his old appearance, what hurt him more was his heart. up.

"Tiannan, I'm Xunxiu!" Standing outside the carriage, Xunxiu shouted.

There was no movement in the carriage. Ye Tiannan didn't seem to hear Xun Xiu's voice, which made Xun Xiu even more heartbroken, because Ye Tiannan was dissatisfied with him and Ye Zhong being in Jicheng, and he didn't even notify him of such a major event, and finally ended up like this, but here First, he also had a last resort. At the beginning, he and Ye Zhong didn't know it. The king just asked Ye Zhong to try his best to put people in the Imperial Guard. After two years of operation, Ye Zhong finally succeeded in controlling the army. However, most of the people who have spent so much effort to insert them are from the king's orders, and there are very few who belong to the Ye family. After all, the Ye family has suffered too much in the past few years. There are too few people available, and this matter can't be done with great fanfare. If you want to place people under Ning Zecheng's nose, the qualifications and family background of these people have to be considered. Now that I think about it, Xun Xiu finally understands the tricks in it. The list given to them must have been provided by Tan Feng. These people seem to be Ning Zecheng's people, but in fact, they are people who are loyal to Tan Feng and the king. It is not only Ning Zecheng who is being counted. , and him and Ye Zhong.

This is also the reason why Ye Zhong had no power to resist when the king wanted to deal with Ye Shi.

It is reasonable for Ye Tiannan to be angry. He did not do a good job in this matter. Ye Zhong is just a military commander, and he is Ye Tiannan's think tank in Jicheng.

Ye's complete overthrow this time, he has an inescapable responsibility.

"Tiannan!" He yelled again, although he was sorry for Mrs. Ye, but with his decades of friendship with Mrs. Ye, as well as his teacher-student friendship with Ye Tiannan, Ye Tiannan would not be so unfeeling.

"Sir!" A follower supporting Xun Xiu suddenly widened his eyes, raised his hand, and pointed at the closed door of the carriage, "Look, that's..."

Xun Xiu's eyes froze, he took a step forward, leaned forward, his body suddenly trembled, what caught his eyes was blood, it was blood that was flowing, and the blood was slowly flowing from the bottom crack of the carriage door. flow out.

"Tiannan!" Xun Xiu was shocked, he shook off the arms of the two servants, jumped to the side of the carriage, grabbed the carriage door with one hand, and slammed it open.

Like five thunders, Xun Xiu froze there. The next moment, he leaned back and fell backwards. The two servants behind were shocked, and they stepped forward together to support Xun Xiu. Xun Xiu's face was pale, his eyes were closed tightly, and he was already unconscious.

The two servants raised their heads, also dumbfounded.

Inside the carriage, Ye Tiannan was sitting in the middle, but above his heart, a dagger was inserted right into it, almost half way through, it can be seen how hard the knife stabbed, He's head was resting on Ye Tiannan's thigh, One hand was held tightly by Ye Tiannan, above the throat, a long hairpin was stuck in it. Blood was gushing from the wounds of the two, and the thick blanket on the floor of the carriage had been soaked with blood.

The door of the carriage was wide open, and the scene inside was naturally unobstructed. Countless exclamations came from the square and the steps, and when they gathered together, they turned into a loud exclamation.

Standing in front of the open carriage door, Xu Yanmao was on the verge of fainting, his body was on the verge of falling, his legs were weak, and he grabbed the shaft of the carriage with all his might, so he didn't fall to the ground. They were all brought down, but fortunately only one Ye Feng escaped, but Ye Tiannan did not leave. But now, the consequences of running away in Tianhe County are even more serious. Ye Tiannan actually died, just before Dayan Palace.

Ji Ling was shocked and angry.

He didn't want to kill Ye Tiannan. Anyway, if he hadn't met Ye Tiannan when he was wandering in Qi country, he wouldn't be where he is today. Tracing back to the source, he is very grateful to Ye Tiannan. But gratitude is one thing, and politics is another. Ye Tiannan, Ning Zecheng, and Zhou Yuan, he doesn't want to keep any of these three people.

Bringing Ye Tiannan to Jicheng, he was going to have a good talk with him, as long as he was willing to hand over Langya, testify against Gao Yuan and sever ties with Gao Yuan, he would not hesitate to let Ye Tiannan get a title and retire in Jicheng. This can be regarded as his reward for Ye Tiannan's care for him in Qi country.

But Ye Tiannan died. He didn't die in Langya County, nor did he die on the way to Jicheng, but died in front of his palace. Yan Lingwei's disobedient officer came to have an autopsy. Ye Tiannan and his wife should have committed suicide after entering Jicheng. . This is a demonstration to him, this is a naked breakup with him.

Amidst the loud noise, Ji Ling overturned the big case in front of him, and in the hall, all the servants knelt down on the ground in horror, "Die, die, since you want to cut off your debts, then cut off your debts, it's in your heart After all, Mrs. Ye is still more important than Dayan. So what if he dies? Gao Yuan is going to die too. Once Gao Yuan dies, what else can Mrs. Ye do? With Ye Zhong as a martial artist? With Ye Feng as a brat? ?”

After the shock of Ning Zecheng's imprisonment, another earthquake hit Jicheng. The former prime minister committed suicide before the palace. King Yan was so furious that he abandoned the remains of Ye Tiannan and his wife, and it was Xun Xiu who collected Ye Tiannan's body.

The funeral of Ye Tiannan, who was once famous all over the world, was extremely simple. Except for the Xun family, no one from Jicheng's dignitaries attended his funeral. The only outsider was Ning Zecheng's only daughter, Ning Xin, who now lives in seclusion in Jicheng. .

After burying Ye Tiannan, Xun Xiu's family sold their property and left Jicheng. And Ning Xin, just like her sudden appearance, disappeared into the vast crowd of Jicheng once again after attending the funeral, without a trace.
