The princes and princesses who were about to escape were all captured by the Tiger Army, and they were all escorted back to the inner courtyard of the palace and guarded personally.
Legions are not allowed to enter the city except during special periods.
But at this moment, Qin Fen personally led 10,000 tiger troops into the imperial capital city and completely took over the security work.
All the Imperial Guards who dared to resist were killed without mercy.
The 10,000 tiger troops quickly marched around every corner of the imperial capital. Qin Fen returned to Prince Wu's Mansion with only a hundred personal guards.
"I haven't been home for several years." Standing in front of Prince Wu's Mansion, Qin Fen couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, Qin Yue and everyone from Prince Wu's Mansion came out to greet Qin Fen in person.
"Lao Liu, you are finally back." Qin Yue laughed, opened his arms and hugged Qin Fen tightly.
Qin Fen looked at Qin Yue with extremely surprised eyes: "Fourth brother, your legs..."
"Thanks to Qin Zhan, he cured my leg!" Qin Yue said happily.
"I heard outside that this kid seems to have changed. Has this guy really changed his ways?" Qin Fen said it was a bit unbelievable.
"Uncle Six, it's not good to say bad things about me behind my back!" Qin Zhan and Qin De walked out one after another, with dark lines on their faces.
Seeing Qin De, Qin Fen hurriedly tidied up his appearance, stepped forward and bowed: "Qin Fen, the fierce and powerful army, is here to see King Wu!"
Qin De smiled slightly: "Yes, it's half a day faster than I expected."
Qin Fen smiled and immediately turned to look at Qin Zhan.
In Qin Zhan's memory, the memory of this sixth uncle still stayed eight years ago.
Qin Fen hasn’t been home for eight years!
"Good boy, you are indeed different from before. You are so energetic that even your sixth uncle can't help it!" Qin Fen patted Qin Zhan on the shoulder.
"My nephew pays homage to my sixth uncle." Qin Zhan did not dare to express his gratitude, so he hurriedly bowed his hands.
When he was a child, this uncle would bring him delicious food every time he came back.
Qin Zhan remembers all these.
"Get up quickly." Qin Fen said with a smile: "I'm really happy for you when I see you like this."
"In the past, my nephew was ignorant and made Uncle Six and all the elders worry."
"Okay, go back home quickly. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it later." Qin De spoke, and everyone did not dare to be disrespectful.
The Black Tiger Guard, Huben Army and Tenglong Army guarded Prince Wu's Mansion together. The two commanders Wei Jiang and Xie Yi personally led the troops. No one dared to take advantage of Prince Wu's Mansion at this time.
Qin Fen returned home in triumph, and everyone in Prince Wu's palace was present.
Everyone knows that Qin Fen attacked the city and killed many imperial troops along the way, but he defeated them all.
And Qin Fen's name is also completely famous all over the world.
The meeting hall of Prince Wu's Mansion.
As Qin De took his seat, other core personnel also took their seats one after another.
When Qin Fen saw Qin Zhan sitting next to his father, he couldn't help but be startled, and looked at Qin Zhan with a little more approval.
"Okay, the thing we have gathered together to discuss today is how to deal with the members of the royal family. I want to hear your opinions." Qin De said.
"I think it would be a disaster to just kill them all, to cut the grass without eradicating the roots, and to keep these people alive would be a disaster." Qin Zhen was the first to express his opinion.
"I think we should keep them. If we kill them all, it will be very bad for the reputation of Prince Wu's Mansion." Qin Ji suggested.
"Although the Lan Dynasty has fallen, the empire cannot be without a king for a day. I think the most urgent task is to elect a new king to stabilize the situation." Qin Mu said.
As soon as Qin Mu said this, Qin De immediately interrupted him: "The new king of the empire is a state matter and should be discussed in the court, not our family affairs."
After hearing Qin De's words, everyone was stunned.
Everyone tried their best to kill the Blue Sky Dragon, didn't they just want to replace it?
Why does it sound like the head of the family is not interested in the position of emperor?
Qin Yue also stood up at this time and said: "I agree with what my father said. We are not overthrowing the Lan Dynasty for our own selfish interests. Our Prince Wu's Palace will never get involved in this emperor's position."
On this point, Qin De had already communicated with Qin Yue and Qin Zhan, and also explained it in his family letter to Qin Fen.
Qin Fen also expressed his opinion: "Elders, the purpose of Prince Wu's Mansion is to serve the people of the world. We don't care about the throne. I hope you don't have any wrong ideas."
"But if we sacrifice to do this, wouldn't it be an advantage for others?" Qin Ji asked.
Several elders were determined to recommend Qin De to the throne of God.
But Qin De never wanted to be emperor from the beginning.
He overthrew the decadent Lan Dynasty not only for the sake of the people of the empire, but also for the sake of Prince Wu's palace.
But that doesn’t mean you have to sit on the throne!
"My father appreciates the kindness of several elders, but I cannot sit on this throne."
Qin Yue and Qin Fen have already mentioned this. If these senior officials still don't understand, their lives will be in vain.
"Little Hericium, how do you think these dynasty orphans should be arranged?" Qin De looked at Qin Zhan.
Qin Zhan thought for a moment and said: "My suggestion is to give these princes and princesses some insignificant fiefdoms, preferably barren lands, and let them fend for themselves."
When everyone heard Qin Zhan's words, their eyes suddenly lit up.
Although it was said to be a fief, it was actually a disguised form of exile.
The fault of the empire's corruption lies with Lan Tianlong alone and has nothing to do with these princes and princesses.
Whether to kill or to keep them is a question. We might as well just exile them to the border and let them fend for themselves.
"Young Master, this is a very good plan, I agree." Qin Zhen was the first to express his support.
In this way, it will not only damage the reputation of Prince Wu's palace, but also prevent these princes and princesses from making big troubles.
At the same time, it also solved the problem of imperial borders.
With these princes and princesses guarding the borders of the empire, it also saves military expenses.
This can be described as killing three birds with one stone!
"What if these princes and princesses develop in the future and want to take back the imperial power?" asked a deacon.
Qin Zhan had already prepared for this problem.
"This is better. It gives us a reason to eliminate the root cause." Qin Zhan said lightly.
After hearing Qin Zhan's words, everyone couldn't help but take a breath.
This young master really has a long-term view and has even blocked the enemy's retreat.
Qin De fully agreed with Qin Zhan's suggestion.
"Since no one has any objections, then implement it immediately and exile all the princes, princesses and concubines to the border."
Therefore, Qin Zhan's words directly determined the fate of the royal family's tens of millions.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Ritian, the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, would like to see you." At this moment, Xie Yi suddenly came to report.
Everyone was stunned.
What are the people from the Prime Minister's Palace doing at this time?
And it’s still Zhao Ritian.
"Why did this dandy disciple come to my Prince Wu's Mansion? To give him his head?" Qin Zhen said casually.
With Lan Tianlong being killed, the various ministers of the imperial court were actually dead in name only.
All the imperial departments such as the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Works were completely under the control of Prince Wu's Mansion.
Of course, there were also many foolish and loyal people who were completely eradicated by Prince Wu's Mansion with thunderous means.
Even if the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion want to regroup, they won't send a dandy here.
Qin Zhan asked: "Is he the only one?"
"He was alone, and he was injured," Xie Yi said.
After hearing Xie Yi's words, everyone was even more surprised.
Did something happen in the Prime Minister's Mansion?
Only Qin Zhan guessed that this incident might have something to do with Zhou Lie. He immediately stood up and said, "Take him to my yard to heal his wounds. Don't let him die."
"Yes, I am resigning."
Xie Yi turned around and left. Everyone looked at Qin Zhan, wondering why he cared about Zhao Ritian's life and death.
"Little Hericium, does this matter have anything to do with you?" Qin De asked.
Qin Zhan nodded: "If I guessed correctly, it should be Zhou Lie's masterpiece. It seems that he did not disappoint me!"
"What do you mean?" Everyone looked confused.
Prince Wu's Mansion has never taken action against the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Even if Lan Tianlong dies, the Prime Minister's Mansion is the Prime Minister's Mansion after all, and it cannot be shaken by ordinary people.
"I need to personally verify the specific situation before I know it. I'll come as soon as I can." After saying that, he stood up and left the meeting hall.
Everyone looked at each other in shock. It wasn't until Qin Zhan left that Qin De continued: "Okay, let's continue talking about what we just said..."
Qin Zhan left the meeting hall and returned to his yard.
Before entering the courtyard, I heard Zhao Ritian's screams coming from inside.
"Easy...be gentle, it hurts!"
Qin Zhan pushed the door open and saw a doctor cutting Zhao Ritian's bones.
