In the afternoon, less than two hours after noon.

Yesterday evening, they were sent out overnight by the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs, asking them to intercept in time the 30,000 troops of Duke An Guo who had entered the capital, and to reward those petty officials on the spot wherever they encountered them.

After several hours of sleepless nights and running around all night, we finally saw An Guogong's army, and at the same time risked their lives to step forward to intercept them.

Fortunately, they all wore official uniforms when they came.

Only then did he avoid being shot as a bandit.

Immediately, Zhu Xujun, the leader, first told An Guogong the specific intention out of fear. Once An Guogong really had the idea of ​​​​creating a law, he would probably kill them first.

Prevent their intentions from spreading.

Shake the morale of the army.

Therefore, as soon as he saw An Guogong and others stopped, he immediately tried his best and shouted with all his strength:

"His Majesty has decreed that in order to alleviate the suffering of the soldiers from traveling long distances, he has specially ordered us to come and reward the army. We have already brought a reward of one million taels of silver and a letter of appointment from the Ministry of Finance.

Please also ask An Guogong to cooperate and maintain order!"

However, even if he tried his best to amplify his voice, it was impossible for all 30,000 people to hear him. Fortunately, the tens of thousands of soldiers who were closer to him could still hear him clearly.

If you didn't hear what was said clearly, ask the person in front of you.

After a while, everyone also understood and cheered.

For most soldiers, the main reason they come here is to get the reward money, and of course the sooner they get the money, the happier they will be. As for why the money was suddenly delivered in advance, and whether there will be any problems, who cares?

As long as the money is real, that's fine.

However, An Guogong's face was very ugly. For a moment, his fists were clenched, and his mood was difficult to understand.

The military advisors and staff on the border are the generals who assist the country.

They all immediately frowned.

After a long time, Duke An Guo told his most trusted lieutenant next to him, asking him to go over first to receive the order, maintain order, and deal with those officials.

He himself glanced at the remaining auxiliary generals and military advisers, and then led them on horseback to a bush not far away.

"Qinghe, your guess is correct. The imperial court is indeed very afraid of us, but the imperial court's response method is something we did not expect. What do they want to do? Is there any danger for me to come to Beijing?

And do we want to change our original plan?"

After the soldiers were dispersed to guard the surroundings, and only his own confidants were left, Duke An immediately gritted his teeth and asked the military advisor Xu Qinghe worriedly.

This person is considered the leader of his staff.

Fighting and running the army helped him a lot.

Long before Banshi returned to the court, the other party had warned him that the court might be very wary of him, and there was even the danger of seizing his military power or persecuting his life.

It was also his suggestion to lead a 30,000-strong army back to the court, and if there was any danger, immediately raise troops to force the palace to usurp the throne.

But the current situation.

It was obviously not within their original estimate.

"My lord, I think you can no longer be so compassionate and soft-hearted as a woman, always expecting those guys above the court to believe in your loyalty.

Isn't it obvious enough what they mean?

Gu Yu

This obviously doesn't trust you.

If you want to rebel, you won't come back with only 30,000 troops. These 30,000 troops are just because you are worried about your own safety. But they are still worried and now they send these small officials.

It is obvious that he wants to use small favors to alienate the morale of the soldiers.

The world has not yet been unified, and His Majesty is only a three-year-old child. The civil and military officials in the dynasty still have their own selfish motives. It is estimated that they have already made plans to attack you. Even if you are not thinking about your own safety, you are not thinking about your family's children.

If you think about it, you have to consider it for the sake of the people of the world. The world today is far beyond the control of a three-year-old child. Then the officials of the imperial court will fight among themselves.

There will definitely be chaos in the world again.

The world has been in chaos for more than two hundred years, and now there is finally hope of reunification. If the world falls apart again because of your soft-heartedness, then you will be the eternal sinner of the people.

Mr. Guo, we don’t have much chance to hesitate anymore, we hope you will make a decision soon!”

As early as when the news of the late emperor's death spread, Xu Qinghe had the idea in his heart to encourage Duke An Guo to rebel and usurp the throne. However, Duke An Guo wanted to face shame and felt that it was not good for him to bully orphans and widows. At the same time, he also felt that the late emperor was kind to him.

, he can't repay kindness with hatred.

So at first An Guogong refused simply.

He even scolded him.

But Xu Qinghe didn't want to just be a military advisor and then become an ordinary civilian. At the same time, he knew very well that such a good opportunity to seek the throne and usurp the throne was too rare. If he missed it, he would never see it again in the next life.

, in order to take a chance on the merit of following the dragon, and also in order to have the opportunity to be the prime minister in the future, with power over the world.

He did a lot of covert operations.

For example, he could persuade other generals and stir up the idea of ​​serving the dragon and get a title, or he could send people to the capital to spread some false news.

It made them feel that An Guogong was restless.

Even if An Guogong did not rush back to attend the late emperor's state funeral, he was secretly planning it.

He specially planned the defection of many troops.

It made it impossible for An Guogong to go back in time.

Including later reminding An Guogong that some officials in the capital, and even the orphan and widowed couple, that is, the queen mother and the young emperor, might want to take action against him, and advised him to bring more soldiers to protect his safety and go to the capital to receive the reward.

He is present in all of them.

He knew very well that regardless of the reason why Duke An Guo brought 30,000 troops to Beijing, the number of 30,000 troops alone was enough to cause panic in the capital.

Next, the two parties will inevitably test each other.

At the same time, the people in the capital will feel more and more that Duke An Guo may want to rebel and must be dealt with. Duke An Guo will also feel more and more that because of some actions in the capital, the people in the capital will feel more and more that they want his life and take away his military power.

.

Now, Xu Qinghe feels that the time has come.

That is to immediately start from the safety of Anguo Gong's own life, the safety of his family, and the safety of his children to the safety of the country and the safety of the people, and all the excuses are found for him, and he is directly persuaded from the perspective of righteousness, as if he is not rebelling.

The world fell apart in an instant.

It seems like it has fallen into hundreds of years of chaos again.

As for An Guogong, he may not have had the idea of ​​​​rebellion and usurping the throne at first, but as time went by and his power expanded, as well as the influence of some people around him.

In fact, he had already started thinking about it.

Do you want to do the opposite?
