Under Ding Yun's deliberate indulgence, An Guogong went straight to the entrance of the square of the government hall smoothly.

And had to stop temporarily.

Because once he got here, even if he wanted to bring all the troops in, the government hall would not be able to accommodate so many people.

So he had to make certain choices.

I need to bring some people in to test it out.

Or simply raise the flag to rebel?

It is indeed more tactful to bring some people in to test it out. If there is an ambush inside, it will make it logical and righteous for him to rebel.

But he was also worried that there were too many people lurking inside.

It will bring him danger.

After all, as the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. He would not dare to risk his life.

And directly raise the words of rebellion.

I always feel that there is something lacking in justice.

It was precisely because he was entangled with these that after he stopped, An Guogong immediately turned to look at the military advisor beside him. Although he did not ask questions directly, they understood each other's meaning.

After a long time, Xu Qinghe sighed and said helplessly:

“At this point, safety is the most important thing.

Let’s not think about face. Let’s succeed in capturing the little emperor first. It won’t be too late to consider issues of face and orthodoxy after we succeed.”

"Isn't it said that history is written by those who succeed? This smooth journey is really weird, so you must not take it lightly. You must remember that even if you are a lion fighting a rabbit, you have to do your best."

If it were possible, who wouldn't want to take over the throne openly and on the side of justice, but now it's obviously impossible, so we can only consider other things after successfully usurping the throne by any means necessary.

At the same time, because he always felt that this journey was so smooth, he specially warned An Guogong again.

I hope he doesn't let his guard down because of this.

"Okay, let's put up the flag!"

After listening to the words of the military advisor and the explanations of several staff around him, An Guogong finally made up his mind and gave the order.

This was the signal they had agreed upon long ago.

As long as their leading team takes the lead in changing flags and changing the original flag of the Southern Zhou Dynasty to the flag of the Anguo Army, it means that they have officially rebelled, and everyone must immediately obey the order and attack those who resist.

Following his order, the flag-bearers outside immediately made changes. At the same time, the general on the left quickly led his troops straight to the government hall according to one of the previously planned plans, that is, what to do after arriving at the palace.

, surged in, trying to capture the thief first to capture the king.

The other soldiers also confronted the eunuchs and maids nearby, or the civil and military officials who came with them, threatening them not to take any action.

Otherwise, don't blame them for being ruthless.

As for the remaining soldiers, of course they would surround the entire court hall to prevent anyone from escaping.

In order to be able to witness the fruits of victory with my own eyes.

An Guogong specially walked out of the carriage, which was very protective and was covered with steel plates in most places. He looked at the Chaozheng Hall with a smile on his face. However, his face collapsed in the next second, because those who had just rushed into the Chaozheng Hall

The soldiers have all been beaten out.

This is not an exaggerated rhetorical description.

But it flies out in a real sense.

The kind that flies out without feet touching the ground.

"this……"

Before he could say a word, the chief steward who had led them into the palace had already kicked off his feet and flew to Duke An's side like a swimming dragon.

And grabbed his neck.

Then he quickly retreated, and before the others could react at all, he completely took An Guogong's life and retreated in front of the army.

That's right at the entrance to the Imperial Palace.

And when he took action, the young eunuchs and maids who were standing next to him were not idle either. They each chose a direction and went straight towards the generals.

Just a few moments...

They captured less than one general, more than one general in each hand, and even caught one under their crotch.

It probably only takes a minute or two in total.

The leaders were all captured.

The remaining soldiers were all confused for a while. The leaders were captured. So what's the point of following the rebellion? Is there any benefit they can get?

But they didn't dare to surrender immediately.

Because after all, it is rebellion, and it is a matter of beheading.

Fortunately, Ding Yun had already anticipated this and had warned the Chief Internal Control Officer in advance, so the next second the Chief Internal Control Officer used the Lion's Roar Technique included in the Vajra Indestructible Magic Skill to loudly express that the soldiers present had contributed to the country.

This rebellion was only deceived by the thieves.

As long as you surrender immediately and surrender, you will be exempted from the death penalty.

That is a different kind of disarming without killing.

After saying these words, those who had no fighting spirit because Lord An Guo had been captured naturally all disarmed one after another. There were even some who cried and apologized, and basically no one persisted in resisting.

And then, of course, comes the aftermath.

After everyone disarmed, Ding Yun immediately held the little emperor in his arms, and took the rest of the eunuchs and maids who had not done anything, and walked out of the government hall. Then the chief eunuch took the lead and knelt down on Duke An, saying:

"I pay homage to the Queen Mother!

The Queen Mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!

Fortunately, I have lived up to my command, and I have captured the traitor!"

Afterwards, other eunuchs and maids who had captured many of An Guogong's staff, military advisors and generals also kowtowed to those people and saluted Ding Yun, and they only saluted Ding Yun without mentioning the emperor in her arms.

But no one cared about this at this time.

At this point, the other officials and nobles nearby who had not known anything before finally realized that this was the Queen Mother's previous confidence and there was no need for them to worry.

Although most of them are still full of doubts and don't know where the Queen Mother got these tyrannical subordinates, most of them are still happy that there will be no change of dynasty.

As for the few who are unhappy.

Of course, those were the people who had already had the idea of ​​surrendering to the enemy and planned to cooperate with Duke An, and even informed Duke An in advance. Not to mention they were relieved and happy now, it would be better if they were not frightened to death.

Everyone's face was basically pale.

Eyes evasive.

I don’t know what to do!

"The Ministry of War cooperated with Duke Ding to register these soldiers. In addition, although they were punishable by death, they had participated in the rebellion after all, so all previous rewards were withdrawn, and all of them increased their military service by three years.

If someone makes merit again later, it can be offset.

As for An Guogong and these leaders, the Ministry of Punishment took them back for strict interrogation and asked them separately to find out when they had the idea and who was the instigator.

And do you have any follow-up plans?

In addition, after all, An Guo Gong has made great contributions to the country, so the Ai family has specially approved Yi's decree to exempt him from the death penalty. You are not allowed to torture him during the trial. As for the specific punishment, it depends on whether An Guo Gong cooperates or not. Take them all away.

Also, everyone who is here, please don’t leave now, we will have a court meeting together later. Although this matter has been resolved, the subsequent impact still requires everyone’s concerted efforts.”

Although theoretically speaking, it is not an exaggeration to say that Duke An Guo rebelled and killed the nine tribes, but after all, it did not cause much negative impact. Secondly, there were hundreds of thousands of Duke An Guo's troops on the border, and he had just destroyed them.

In a country, the combination of these factors made it difficult for Ding Yun to directly kill the nine tribes of Duke An.

Since it's not easy to kill the Nine Tribes, then just handle him lightly and avoid his life. It can also create a good reputation for yourself, so as not to have bad influence in the future. If someone comes up with some conspiracy theory, they suspect that she killed the donkey.

.

Keeping people around can show your kindness.

This can also be used to appease the border troops.

It can also show to other noble generals and nobles who hold military power, so that they can really feel at ease. They have not even killed those who rebelled, let alone those who have not rebelled.

After saying this, Ding Yun turned around and returned to the government hall.

Others also hurriedly made the handover and handed over the prisoners in their hands to the departments designated by the Queen Mother for processing.

Officials who are qualified to serve in court.
