Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

Chapter 236: The Non-Existent Back-up Plan

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. The old general is devoted to the country and would not dare to act rashly."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "I know whether he is loyal or not, but I am afraid there will be some troubles due to the current situation in the outer palace."

Lu Anyuan felt that there was something else behind his words, so why was it such a problem?

"Hasn't the Emperor already sent General Xie back to the capital to mobilize the troops? Please rest assured, we will reach Gushan early tomorrow morning."

"Mobilize troops, mobilize troops. What kind of troops are you calling for?" The emperor showed a deep sense of ridicule on his face. "The elite Dragon Guards he wants to mobilize are all at the foot of the mountain!"

Lu Anyuan looked up in surprise. It was not until this moment that the doubts in his heart were suddenly cleared up. He had always thought that his second brother was transferring people from Qibei, which would inevitably alarm all parties. It turned out that they were people who came directly from Longwuwei outside the capital. No wonder no abnormalities were reported.

"There are 50,000 Dragon Guards in total. After pacifying the Song Kingdom last time, my father ordered 20,000 to stay in the southern border and station in the surrounding small countries. Doesn't that mean the rest of the people are down the mountain? But who can mobilize these people without the military token? It's impossible!"

Lu Anyuan was extremely shocked. How could it be possible that the troops guarding the capital city had rebelled and turned into rebels? If the Second Prince had such strength, he would not have been punished one after another and rushed all the way to Qibei.

The emperor seemed reluctant to mention this matter and was somewhat displeased. "Forget it, it doesn't matter. I will go down the mountain at dawn tomorrow. I want to see if these rebels dare to kill me!"

"Your Majesty, you can't do that! Even if all the Dragon Guards rebel, there are still the Jinwu Guards and the Weiwei Army in the capital. If things get worse, there are still the Imperial Guards guarding the palace. Your Majesty, don't worry."

"I am worried that Xie Ming is unaware of the situation and rashly enters the Dragon Guard camp. Not only will he die, but the Tiger Tally will also fall into the hands of the enemy. Once they use the Tiger Tally to mobilize those troops first, the situation will be over!"

The mistake the emperor made today was probably the stupidest mistake he had ever made in his life, no doubt about it.

Without knowing the identity and number of the rebels, he blindly misjudged and gave the tiger talisman directly to General Xie to return to the city to mobilize troops, but he didn't know that this move would cost him his life.

He openly questioned the behavior of a certain prince in public. If he made a mistake, he would become the biggest scapegoat of the day. After all, so many ministers saw the emperor's "personal" inquiry.

But he was the emperor, and he could not, at least not show it, something that everyone could regret. In the minds of these ministers, the emperor still remained the same as when he first ascended the throne, with a wise mind and decisiveness, but only the emperor himself knew the marks brought by the years.

"Father! I beg your Majesty to order me to take your imperial seal back to the city and mobilize the Weiwei Army to come to the king's defense. Please grant me your permission!"

The emperor was a little surprised. In his mind, he only remembered that the seventh brother was a little clever, but he had never seen any talent or ability to lead troops in all these years.

Therefore, when the second brother revealed to him intentionally or unintentionally that the culprit of the rebellion was the seventh brother, the emperor was really angry. Did the second brother think of him as a fool?

The emperor thought about it and quickly rejected the proposal. As a person, it would be great if the Seventh Brother could help the new emperor guard the southern border in the future. As for his talent in saving the world, he really didn't think highly of him.

"Yuan'er, I know what you mean, but this matter is of great importance. I have made up my mind. It is impossible for all the Dragon Guards to rebel. I think they have been bewitched by their generals. I will show up tomorrow to let them see who is the master of Daxia!"

Lu Anyuan moved his lips but said nothing.

In fact, he knew in his heart that his father's judgment of him was based on the way he had behaved in recent years. If anyone was to be blamed, it was because he had concealed his incompetence too much in the beginning. Although he was able to protect himself temporarily, in the long run, he eventually lost the emperor's favor.

"Yes, I understand. But I think you should think more about what your father said about deterring the rebels tomorrow. It's too dangerous."

"No problem." The emperor sat back in his chair and waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.

After leaving the Lizheng Hall, Lu Anyuan quickened his pace and first found A Da and A Er, asking them to contact their own people separately. They must break out of the siege and go down the mountain tonight, taking their token to find General Weiwei to come to the king's defense.

Although his own token might not work, especially when they might have already received the emperor's tiger talisman, doing so would only leave "solid evidence" for the person behind the scenes.

But Lu Anyuan had no choice. The Second Prince's move was really brilliant. It meant that the Emperor and his officials could not go down the mountain this time. There was no one in charge in the capital and there was no leader. Even if someone figured it out, they would not dare to act rashly.

Now that he has the tiger talisman, if he can control the city gates of the capital, all the troops near the capital can enter the capital together. It will be like entering a no-man's land!

Nothing can happen to my father now, because my strength is far from enough to defeat all my brothers and ascend to the throne. Even if General Xu exerts his strength now, it may be of little use. Damn it!

This move by the second brother was so unexpected! Who could have imagined how he incited the Dragon Guards to rebel? Could it be...

Lu Anyuan lowered his head and thought of a very absurd possibility. Could it be that he helped him?

Just as he was feeling frustrated, someone suddenly patted him from behind. Lu Anyuan turned around alertly and found that it was the Fourth Prince.

"Seventh brother, my second brother just came to me and asked me to find a way to keep an eye on you tonight."

The Fourth Prince spoke frankly and did not even bring a guard with him, making it clear that he was on Lu Anyuan's side this time and would only give the truth directly.

"Why are you staring at me?"

The fourth prince took a step forward, confirmed that there was no one around, and then lowered his voice: "Seventh brother, no matter how you found out about my second brother's actions, it was very wise of you to let my sister-in-law leave early. Now my second brother is very worried about her leaving the team, and he is worried that it was your trick, so he asked me to follow you."

Lu Anyuan narrowed his eyes and almost laughed in his heart. It turned out that his second brother was "judging others by his own experience". He did something shameful, so he was worried about whether his brother had a backup plan.

However, this actually proves that Yixing must be safe. If she was captured by the rebels, then the Second Prince would not be as worried as he is now.

The fourth prince saw Lu Anyuan's mouth slightly upturned, and he became more certain of his guess. The seventh brother really had a backup plan! Great, it seems that the second brother might be in danger this time.

But he didn't know that Lu Anyuan was smiling for Yixing's safety.

"Fourth brother, you told me that Second brother asked you to monitor me. It seems that you are still on my side this time?"

"Of course. Didn't we agree last time that as long as Lu Chiyan is alive, you and I will not be enemies. I believe you are a man of your word."
