Chapter 668

Looking at Yuan Tan's fallen corpse, the scarlet color in Yuan Shang's eyes faded significantly.

But before he could react,

more than ten personal guards from Gu Yi's side appeared instantly and captured Yuan Shang.

Like a farce, the curtain fell quickly.

But why this farce suddenly occurred, only Gu Yi likely knew best in his heart.

And the ending of this farce was that

Yuan Tan was killed by Yuan Shang, and Yuan Shang was sentenced to be beheaded.

Guo Tu, Xin Ping, and others vaguely guessed the truth behind the matter, but so what?

Yuan Tan was killed by Yuan Shang; what did it have to do with Gu Yi?

Besides,

Yuan Tan was dead now.

So those old subordinates who were nominally loyal to Yuan Tan could justifiably be incorporated under Gu Yi's rule.

It was truly a move that killed several birds with one stone.

However,

the formal procedures that should be followed still had to be followed.

Regarding Yuan Tan's death, our Prime Minister Gu expressed great regret.

For this, he decided to posthumously enfeoff Yuan Tan as a County Marquis.

Tsk, this County Marquis title is a quite rare reward.

But the key point is,

Yuan Tan was already dead and had left no heirs.

This enfeoffment was equivalent to not enfeoffing anything.

Gu Yi didn't need to pay anything for this.

He just gave Yuan Tan face in name.

Among Yuan Tan's old subordinates, the smart ones naturally understood Gu Yi's meaning.

They successively submitted memorials praising Gu Yi's benevolence and virtue, and angrily denounced Ju Shou and the others for their shamelessness.

Of course, that is a story for later.

Nowadays,

taking Ye City did not mean the war was over. ===== CHAPTER 669 =====
