Chapter 186 Control the State of Wu
Ye Chen, who received the news of the imperial capital, immediately handed over more than one million troops on the northern border to hundreds of holy soldiers under his command, coordinated by Xiaofang, a young man in white, and took Wang Yu and hundreds of holy soldiers into the air and rushed in the direction of the imperial capital, ready to Hurry to the imperial capital as quickly as possible to maintain the stability of the imperial capital, so that it will not fall into chaos because of the death of Hawang and the important ministers of the empire.
Since Ye Chen and his party were all holy warriors except Wang Yu, the speed of the group was extremely fast. In just half a day, they crossed thousands of miles and came to the top of the imperial city wall.
As soon as he came to the top of the wall of the imperial capital, Ye Chen summoned the generals of the imperial capital defenders and took over the control of the imperial capital defenders. All those who did not accept it were executed for the crime of treason, officially controlling the imperial capital and controlling the imperial capital in the palm of their hands.
After taking over the control of the imperial capital, Ye Chen called Harry, the commander of the imperial capital garrison, to Yefu's study and asked him about the current situation of the imperial capital and the situation of various forces.
As a native general and holy warrior in the imperial capital, Harry knows very well about all forces in the imperial capital. At the same time, Harry is also very smart and aware of current affairs. On the first day of the riot in the imperial capital, he decisively sent troops to enforce martial law and officers in the imperial capital, so that the emperor did not have greater riots and turmoil, and invited Ye Chen returned to the imperial capital to support the army and turned to Ye Chen at the first time. It can be seen that his mind was very clear. He did not dominate the imperial capital without authorization because he controlled the 100,000 defenders of the imperial capital.
After hearing Ye Chen's inquiry, Harry looked at Ye Chen with a respectful face and said, "Marshal, there are three main forces in the imperial capital now. The first force is an aristocratic alliance hurriedly formed by small and middle nobles in the imperial capital. They want to unite and safeguard their titles and interests, and their strength is poor.
The second force is the royalist composed of the major forces of the imperial capital and the remnants of the royal family. They want the subordinate sons of the royal family far away from the imperial capital to ascend the throne and continue the royal family's rule over the Wu Kingdom, ranking second.
The third force is a neutral force jointly formed by the large and small merchants of the imperial capital and the mercenary union adventurer union and the magician union. With the strong force at hand, it protects the safety of its property and life, and watches the changes in the situation of the imperial capital coldly. Its strength ranks first, and there are many strong people!"
Hearing Harry's words, Ye Chen lowered his head and meditated. The aristocratic alliance formed by small and medium-sized nobles was not enough. As long as they did not move their interests for the time being, they would never resist their rule.
The neutral forces formed by the Merchant Mercenary Union Adventurers Union and the Magicians Union don't need to care whether they plan to take advantage of the fire and annex their property, and they will not be idle to react to their rule against the State of Wu.
There is only one royalist composed of major forces and remnants of the royal family, which are the enemies they should deal with. Only they are the biggest obstacle to their own rule of the martial arts!
At the same time, although the royalists formed by the combination of major forces and the remnants of the royal family are the weakest, they do hold the most wealth, and their influence on all parts of Wu can not be underestimated.
After all, as the most powerful power group of Wuguo, the wealth obtained through various means will definitely reach a very considerable level within hundreds of years of Chengping Wuguo. At the same time, its network also covers almost every corner of Wuguo, which is also One of the reasons why Ye Chen must eradicate it.
However, Ye Chen can't lead the army to flatten the royalist. After all, he should also pay attention to the fact that once it is affected, he can't show his shameless side in front of the people of the State of Wu.
Therefore, Ye Chen must find a way to eradicate the royalist with the help of others!
Thinking of this, Ye Chen's head moved rapidly, and the last light flashed from his mind, making his face involuntarily show a faint smile.
Waved his hand and let Harry go back to maintain the order of the imperial capital. Ye Chen sent someone to find Li Xi, a little man who made a living by selling information in the imperial capital, and secretly ordered him to give him a bag of gold coins and let him do it according to his own will.
In the mansion of the Under-Minister of Finance of the Empire of the State of Wu, Li Xi looked at him with a flattering face. Because he was hiding in a secret room, Qian Feifei, the second son of the Under-Minister of the Empire, who was lucky to die, said, "Your Excellency, I have some news to tell you that you are rich. I don't know if you are interested?"
Hearing Li Xi's words, Qian Feifei immediately became interested and said with an excited face, "Thus, if what you say is true, I will definitely give you a red envelope that will satisfy you."
Although Qian Feifei did not survive, most of his family's property was seized by the killers. When he was thinking about how to use the chaos of the imperial capital to make profits, Li Xi gave himself a chance to make a fortune. How could he not be excited!
Seeing Qian Feifei's excited face, Li Xi knew that he had half of his goal had been completed. He was happy and put his mouth to Qian Feifei's ear and whispered.
As soon as Li Xi's voice fell, Qian Feifei said with an excited face, "Are you telling the truth?"
Hearing Qian Feifei's words, Li Xi immediately pretended to be angry and replied, "Your Excellency, who doesn't know that I, Li Xi, am the most honest and know-itable! How can I lie to you! What's the good for me to lie to you?"
Hearing Li Xi's words and thinking of the information about Li Xi, Qian Feifei immediately believed most of it and casually gave Qian Feifei a bag of gold coins and said, "This is a reward for you. If what you say is true, I will give you a richer reward afterwards!" However, if I let him know that you are lying to me, I will never let you go!"
Hearing Qian Feifei's threatening words, Li Xi trembled and replied with a timid face, "Don't worry, the news I gave you is absolutely true!"
Seeing Li Xi trembling all over, Qian Feifei felt that he was not lying to himself, so he waved his hand and drove him out of the mansion.
In the middle of the night, Qian Feifei personally led dozens of escorts who survived, quietly avoiding the sight of the patrol soldiers and sneaked into a luxurious mansion.
When Qian Feifei entered the luxury mansion and saw the broken bodies and red blood everywhere, he couldn't help but be shocked. His face changed greatly, his hands and feet were weak, and a coldness surged from the bottom of his heart. He immediately wanted to leave the luxury mansion with his men and return to his home.
However, what made Qian Feifei feel desperate was that before he left the luxury mansion, he heard a neat footsteps outside the door of the mansion. A team of well-equipped patrolmen, holding a few magic lights, opened the door of the luxury mansion, and came in and counted him. Ten men were blocked in the luxury mansion.
"How dare you break into the mansion of Viscount Hafei!"
Wang Qiang, the captain of the patrol team, looked at Qian Feifei, who was panicked and knew his mistake, and immediately scolded loudly.
"Captain, look, there is a lot of blood and corpses!"
As soon as Wang Qiang's voice fell, before Qian Feifei could respond, he heard a soldier behind Wang Qiang shouting at the corpses behind Qian Feifei.
"Bold bandits dare to attack and kill the imperial nobles! Come on, arrest them all!"
Hearing the soldier's words, Wang Qiang immediately looked in the direction his finger pointed and immediately found blood and broken bodies on the ground. Without any hesitation, he pulled out the sharp weapon from his body and shouted.
At Wang Qiang's order, except for several soldiers with magic crystal lamps, other soldiers roared one after another, pulled out their sharp weapons, and rushed to Qian Feifei and other people.
At this time, how could Qian Feifei not know that he was cheated?
However, Qian Feifei did not intend to be slaughtered, but a cold light flashed in his eyes. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately pulled out the sharp weapon from his head, shouted, and led dozens of his men and patrol soldiers to fight fiercely!
According to reason, dozens of Qian Feifei's men are all at the level of level of level 6 or 7 soldiers, and it should be more than enough to deal with dozens of patrol soldiers.
However, as soon as they fought, Qian Feifei found something wrong, because the dozens of patrolmen who fought against them all had the strength of level 7 or 8 soldiers. At the beginning, they pressed them to fight, but they only had the room for passive defense and had no ability to counterattack at all.
Seeing this, Qian Feifei knew that he had completely failed.
In a moment, dozens of Qian Feifei's men were ruthlessly killed by the patrolmen and shed blood all over the ground, while Qian Feifei captured them alive under the personal dispatch of Wang Qiang, a nine-level soldier and brought them to the imperial capital prison.
In the morning of the second day, Qian Feifei coveted the heirloom of the imperial capital and led dozens of guards to kill the imperial viscount's family. The message spread in the imperial capital, which aroused the anger and vigilance of the imperial capital aristocratic alliance. A large group of nobles united and went to Yefu to let Ye Chen support justice for them.
The nobles in these aristocratic alliance also knew that the imperial capital at this time was under Ye Chen's actual control, so they asked Ye Chen for it.
Of course, if Ye Chen presided over justice, they would use their own means to avenge the dead viscount and thus safeguard the authority of the aristocratic alliance.
At the request of the aristocratic alliance, Ye Chen called Wang Qiang and the soldiers of the patrol team to understand the situation and promised the aristocratic alliance that he would definitely investigate the matter clearly, and the dead viscount would give an explanation to the aristocracy alliance.
After the aristocratic alliance left, Ye Chen personally went to the imperial prison to interrogate Qian Feifei, got the list of his accomplices, and handed it over to Harry to lead the army and arrest people according to the list.
Harry, who received the order, without any hesitation, immediately dispatched a large army to strangle all the major forces and the remnants of the royal family in the imperial capital city, declared that he was an accomplice of Qian Feifei, and resisted his arrest by force before he was killed on the spot.
In just one day, the royalist faction was cleared under the condition that Harry sent an army to strangle him. The force of the imperial royalist faction disappeared after only one day of existence.
After the royalists were hanged, the smart people in the imperial capital were stunned to find that this was probably Ye Chen, the most powerful leader and actual ruler of the imperial capital, who cleared the excuse of dissidents, so they raised their vigilance and gathered their strength to prevent Ye Chen from strangling himself and sending envoys. He brought a lot of gifts and showed his loyalty to Ye Chen.
In this way, Ye Chen took control of the State of Wu and cleared the obstacles to claim to be king.
