The family power in this era was established step by step in this way.

Chu Qingge was lucky enough to be able to witness it in person and even participate deeply.

As the days passed, good news came from Lu Siming.

After the remnant forces of King Chen and Princess Zhang Ming retreated to King Chen's territory, they were not as difficult to wipe out as expected.

Perhaps King Chen is exhausted.

Or perhaps because King Chen himself was imprisoned in the capital these years, his subordinates who were far away in the fiefdom were not all loyal and tried their best.

When Lu Siming led a group of talented people and elite soldiers to fight against them, it was not that difficult.

It can be said that King Chen's army was retreating steadily.

Later, Chu Qingge learned that when King Chen was secretly plotting in the capital these years, Emperor Yan was not just watching. He was also responding to the situation and causing trouble in King Chen's territory.

In addition, the failure of King Chen's uprising itself shook the morale of the army.

Except for some hardcore, or there is no escape route at all, it is impossible to lead the people of Emperor Yan.

Most of the people who followed King Chen and Princess Zhang Ming knew what they should choose.

After all, those who understand current affairs are heroes, right?
This is a truth that many "readers", even those who don't read, understand very well.

So when Lu Siming fought through, he encountered almost no obstacles that were too difficult.

The generals who responded to the challenge either surrendered or ran away after being defeated.

Probably King Chen also knew that even if he went crazy, he would not be able to do anything to Emperor Yan.

So in the end, he chose to die with dignity.

That is, he set fire to the entire Chen Prince's Mansion and most of Chenzhou City.

Countless people were implicated.

When Chu Qingge received the news in the capital, he only felt that if someone like King Chen became the emperor, it would really be the misfortune of the entire Dayan and all the people.Although the current Emperor Yan is probably a kind person, he is still a wise king.

If someone like King Chen dies, half of the city's innocent people will be buried with him...

It's really as crazy as you want to be.

However, Lu Siming had a different opinion: "Maybe he didn't just want more people to be buried with him. I had people inspect all the corpses found in Prince Chen's Mansion."

When Chu Qingge heard this, his heart moved, "Is it possible..."

"It's what you think." Lu Siming said calmly, "All the corpses were burned beyond recognition. We can only judge the approximate identity of the other party from some remains of clothing."

But such a judgment is obviously very inaccurate.

King Chen and Princess Zhang Ming could have simply found people of similar stature and age to them, wore their clothes, killed themselves for them, and then been burned to death in the palace.

They themselves can escape.

"Does Your Majesty know?" When Chu Qingge asked this question, he had the answer in his heart.

Emperor Yan knew.

Of course he knows, and he will know King Chen and Princess Zhang Ming better than Lu Siming.

Knowing that they couldn't really die so easily.

But so what?

"In order to escape smoothly, King Chen did not hesitate to burn most of the city to create chaos in the city, prevent Emperor Yan's people in Chenzhou city from finding him, and confirm his own death.

So if he escapes in time, he will no longer be King Chen.

The people's support has been lost, his identity has also been lost, and all he has left in the world is his own life. "

For Emperor Yan, this was enough. (End of chapter)
