Li Rui was full of thoughts, and the sound of his boots outside was getting closer and closer, and he sighed heavily and said, "It's too late..."

boom……

At this moment, the door of the study was knocked open, and an Annan general appeared with a few soldiers with a terrifying expression.

Li Rui looked at the general and said, "General Li?"

The military general smiled coldly and said, "Mr. Li, how can you do it." He glanced at the messy chessboard on the desk and sneered, "You all seem to be very interested."

Li Rui said calmly: "Why, I wonder what crime I committed?"

The general of the army said seriously: "You incite the people to fight against the Ming army, and have a bad intention, and are suspected of imitating the Hu family. They are suspected of usurping the throne. The king and the Ming Dynasty are in unison and are grateful to the Ming Dynasty, but you encourage officials and Confucian scholars to rebel against the Ming Dynasty. In my Annan, rebellion is a rebellion!"

Li Rui smiled and said contemptuously: "Is that right? There is no reason to be a crime to add to it. But Chen Tianping is very calculating and comes to deal with me under the banner of rebellion against Ming. If I resist, the Ming army will not be able to sit idly by. So no matter what, I will definitely lose. He tied it with the Han people and was invincible. Ha... it's ridiculous, ridiculous. I actually lost to a little Chen boy. Very good. Take me, I'm willing to surrender."

The general smiled, and his smile was ferocious, but he said word by word: "The king means... the centipede worm dies without being stiff. Lord Li's disciples and former officials are everywhere in Annan, so... we won't take you today!"

While speaking, the general pulled out the sword from his waist and sent it into Li Rui's abdomen without hesitation.

Li Rui twitched for a moment, and his eyes stared at General Li in front of him. He never expected that the person in front of him was so cruel. He could not have imagined that Chen Tianping had murderous intentions from the beginning and had no intention of letting him survive.

His old face twisted in pain, but he laughed wildly: "It's cruel, it's cruel enough, Hu's cruel, Chen's crueler. Annan is so lucky, so lucky..."

The general sneered repeatedly, kicking Li Rui over with one foot. He pulled out the knife and said viciously: "The traitors and traitors dare to talk nonsense." After that, he took the knife back into the sheath. The man walked out quickly.

Outside this study, hundreds of Annan imperial guards held torches, and everyone was full of murderous intent.

The general clapped his hands and said word by word: "As long as the orders, no one in this house needs to live. They are traitors. Like the Hu family, they are the rebels who have caused trouble to my Annan. No one has to be polite, no matter women or children, they will be killed!"

Under the fire, his face looked particularly terrifying. The red skin illuminated by the fire turned long as he finished speaking: "Kill!"

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

That night, there were soldiers and horses everywhere, and the streets were full of imperial guards holding torches, and there were loud shouts everywhere. I don’t know how many people died in pools of blood, and I don’t know how many people were open, showing an incredible look, but their bodies were gradually stiff and their breathing stopped.

Deep in the palace, someone can't sleep.

Chen Tianping held his hands behind his back, his eyes were blood-red. From time to time, he raised his eyes, and let out a low roar in his mouth: "Time, when is it?"

"Three updates...Three updates..."

"Hu..." He looked up and his pupils contracted.

At this time, the matter must have been completed. Are the damn people still alive? What is the reaction of Ming Jun...?

He was taking risks. Although he started to clean up in the name of anti-Ming, this did not mean that the Ming army would remain indifferent. But now, he must do so, and some people must die.

Chen Tianping began to walk around uneasy, and sometimes his emotions became high and excited. He understood that after dawn, Annan's power truly fell into his hands, and he was the real king of Annan, and no one dared to disobey him from then on.

He has been waiting for this day for too long.

His lips were trembling, and his cheeks were shaking with the clatter of his teeth. Even every step he took, he felt his legs felt a little sore and soft.

"Are they dead... dead? They... must die... yes, must die..."

At this time, an inner servant walked in quickly, stopped from afar at the door of the hall, looked at Chen Tianping in fear, and said, "King..."

Chen Tianping was frightened. The sound really scared him so much that his soul and six spirits dissipated. His whole body arched like a cat, and then immediately pulled out the long sword on his waist.

He always carried this sword with him. Even when he was in Jinling, even in the middle of the night, he still took the sword and clothes to bed.

The sword body clanged, and the sheath flew out, and a silver fox passed by, then pointed at the inner official.

"Who is it, who is it..." Chen Tianping's eyes also looked towards the inner official with the tip of the sword.

Neiyun was startled and knelt down quickly and said, "I..."

"Huh..." Chen Tianping breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said furiously: "Bastard, bastard, who let you in? Is it Li Rui? Is it Li Rui?"

The Neihu hurriedly said, "It was the king's order. The king's order. If there is news about General Li, he should report it immediately."

"Is that true?" Chen Tianping's heartbeat gradually eased a little, but his hand holding the sword still refused to loosen a little. He said coldly: "What's the news?"

"The matter has been completed, and the family has...there are a total of 735 people..."

Chen Tianping smiled.

He put away his sword and let out a long breath. His eyes seemed to have a glimmer of light, and his expression became pleasant, and he said, "I understand, I know, you... go down."

Chen Tianping did not sleep. He was in the hall, and the silver chairs in the silver hall radiated lights in the hazy lights. The hazy light fell into his eyes, making Chen Tianping look energetic.

He walked up, stroked the handle of the chair, rubbed every texture on his head with his fingers, and closed his eyes and raised his chin slightly, as if he was intoxicated.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After dawn, the dawn began to dew, thick fog accompanied by dew, as if cleaning the blood deep in the house, but the bloody smell did not dissipate under the morning breeze.

The corpses were hung at the city gate and the market, and the Annan imperial guards in the brigade were still on high alert.

The air is filled with a terrifying aura, which comes from the depths of human bone marrow.

The Ming army did not act, and there was no news about the Monkey Temple.

And in the palace, Chen Tianping could completely breathe a sigh of relief, everything... was settled.

He summoned all the officials, and the officials of Annan arrived at the Silver Hall tremblingly. Everyone looked at the new king with horror and uneasiness, and did not dare to show off.

Chen Tianping said with a cold face: "The rebel party led by Li Rui has been eliminated. After this, whoever dares to speak out for the extravagant words will be killed without mercy. I hope all the ministers can learn from this." After a pause, Chen Tianping seemed very powerful and continued: "A few days ago, someone wrote a letter to talk about the matter, saying that this king gave Hao Qianshi too much. The so-called listening to both sides is clear and partial, and the secret is hidden. Since this is the case, I had to remove the Left Prime Minister, the State Council Pingzhang and still grant him the General of the Wuwei. As for the fief of Qinghua, it was changed to the four counties of the Tokyo District Government to use this as compensation."

The entire Annan has east, south, north, west, Honghe, Qinghua, Yi'an, and Zhili Badao. The four counties of the east are adjacent to Langsan. The north is close to Guangxi and the east is facing the sea. Because of the mountains, the population is actually not large. Compared with Annan, it is optional, but this is an important barrier for Annan. Because it is mountainous, generally speaking, if Annan has a feud with the Central Plains dynasty, there is no danger to defend.

Chen Tianping knew very well that he would never let Hao Fenglou do anything about the Left Prime Minister, Guo Pingzhang. On the one hand, he would never allow Han people to share his power. On the other hand, Annan would never tame it. As for the enfeoffment of Qinghua, it was even more joked. Qinghua was the richest place in Annan. If Qinghua was lost, Annan would lose half of his wealth. The reason why he threw out this bait before was nothing more than playing power. Now that his political enemies have been completely eradicated, Chen Tianping of course had to break his promise.

But Hao Fenglou is definitely not a person who is easy to mess with. Since you have fooled him, you must take risks. After all, Chen Tianping understands that he needs to use Annan to check and balance the Ming army, and urgently needs the support of the Ming army to consolidate his position. In this case, Hao Fenglou must be given sufficient compensation.

Although the General of the Wuwei did not have military power, he was a top military officer in Annan and had a high status. As for the four host counties, they occupied a large area, accounting for almost 15% of Annan's territory. Although they were all steep mountains and most of the land was not suitable for cultivation, it was painful to enfeoff.

After Chen Tianping said that, the officials in Annan at the bottom had completely understood what was going on. From the very beginning, everyone was fooled by this king. This king not only teased Hao Fenglou and all the officials, but no one could do anything about it.

Could the Ming army rebelled against Chen Tianping? It is impossible, there was an anti-Ming within Annan. Chen Tianping was the most important piece for the Ming army to restrain Annan. If even this piece was abandoned, then from then on, various anti-Ming activities would only emerge one after another, causing the Ming army to lose sight of one thing.

How can all officials beat Chen Tianping? Nothing can be done. Li Rui and those "disrupting parties" have a lesson. At this time, who dares to express his dissatisfaction at all?
