The eldest princess is obsessed with rebellion, but there are six male protagonists

Lu Qing tried to ask what this great achievement was, but Eunuch Cui smiled mysteriously:

"Don't worry, girl. You will know after some time."

Eunuch Cui retired after completing his mission. Lu Qing found two servants, carried General Shen's axe, and went to report to the princess.

Eunuch Cui was keeping the secret and he was unable to get the answer. If Wutong came to report, he would definitely look ashamed for not doing his job well.

Lu Qing was in a very good mood, thinking that he had not done his job well, it must be because of others, not his own problems, so he reported without any psychological burden:

"This servant and Eunuch Cui got along so well, but he still didn't say anything. Maybe it's because he didn't know either."

Shen Quan was borrowing Su Fengyi's study, looking through maps, arranging troops, and planning a counterattack against the Northern Tartars. After hearing her evasive words, he could not help but observe secretly to see if the princess would punish this little girl.

As a result, Su Fengyi not only did not scold him, but laughed and said:

"You said it well, and you did a good job. Since you and Eunuch Cui are so compatible, then don't break this rare bond. Go find Dangui and prepare a generous gift for Eunuch Cui to thank him for the news.

In the future, during festivals, you should come and visit more often, have a good chat with Eunuch Cui, and don’t let this kindness go to waste.”

After receiving the praise, Lu Qing happily bowed and took her leave, and went to find Dangui to prepare a gift for Eunuch Cui.

After Lu Qing left, Shen Quan couldn't help but sigh:

"Your Highness is very lenient to the servants."

Su Fengyi smiled and said:

“Every inch has its own strengths and weaknesses. There is no such thing as a perfect person. When employing people, we should naturally take advantage of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

Besides, Lu Qing was right this time. Qiao Gui sent Eunuch Cui to deliver the message, but he did not tell Eunuch Cui the details. Eunuch Cui himself was kept in the dark, so Lu Qing naturally could not ask for the truth. "

Shen Quan was thoughtful:

"No wonder His Highness wants to give gifts to Eunuch Cui. Qiao Gui is so wary of Eunuch Cui, how can Eunuch Cui not have resentment in his heart? If the two of them are not in harmony, it will be an opportunity.

But what good would it do Qiao Gui to keep this a secret? Could it be that he wanted to withhold the news, hide it from the court officials, and lead the troops to fight the war himself?"

Su Fengyi was already somewhat accustomed to General Shen's ability to speak casually but always hit the point, so she replied:

"That's right. Qiao Gui kept the matter of the Northern Tartar prince's attack on Xinghe a secret because he was afraid that someone else would take away the credit. Although Eunuch Cui is Qiao Gui's most favored godson, he is not his biological son. Qiao Gui is on guard against him."

Is this exactly the case?

Qiao Gui is in the capital, with great power, wealth and splendor. He has too much food and too much free time, so he has a crazy idea and wants to lead troops to fight himself?

Shen Quan found it incredible:

"Merit, how could Qiao Gui think that this must be a great merit and not an irreparable disaster?

Even we are not sure of victory against the Northern Tartars' 50,000 cavalrymen, and Qiao Gui has never led a troop before. Does he think he can win against these 50,000 cavalrymen by himself?

Where does he get the confidence from? How dare he? "

Shen Quan guessed correctly, this was exactly what Qiao Gui thought, and he dared to think so.

Qiao Gui had been in the palace for twenty years, rising from the lowest-ranking menial eunuch to the current eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department. This was the highest position a eunuch could reach, and there was no further rank to be achieved.

Being a eunuch was naturally a great success, but as a man, Qiao Gui felt that his life was full of regrets, and he was not satisfied with anything related to starting a family and a career.

Before Qiao Gui went to Beijing, he had already married, but on the way to escape famine, he encountered bandits. Qiao Gui cruelly abandoned his pregnant wife who was ten months pregnant and fled alone. In his dreams at midnight, he often missed his unborn child and could only sigh about his miserable life. In this way, he cut off the only fate of having children in his life.

There is no hope of having offspring, so if he wants to prove that he is a man of his stature, he can only rely on making achievements.

What Qiao Gui wanted to do was to be the best eunuch in ancient and modern times. He wanted to use his status as a eunuch to defeat the northern barbarians, establish merits that would be passed down through the ages, and gain a reputation that would be praised by generations.

In the original book, after Shen Quan died, the little prince of the Northern Tartars led his troops to attack Xinghe, and an urgent report from the border was delivered to Qiao Gui.

The 50,000 cavalry were only 300 miles away from the capital, but Qiao Gui did not feel any danger. Instead, he felt excited that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, that is, the opportunity to seize the power of the imperial guards from Lu Hong.

In this way, with the border troops and the imperial guards in his hands, he can naturally rest assured and be invincible.

Qiao Gui was born in the market. The fights in the market are nothing more than you punch me, I kick you, you stab me, I chop you with a sword. It all depends on who has more people, and whoever has more people wins.

Therefore, the war that Qiao Gui imagined was just a war with more people than in the market, with no other difference.

Fifty thousand border troops and one hundred thousand imperial guards add up to a total of one hundred and fifty thousand troops.

What’s the big deal if the Northern Tartar army comes? The Da Mu army has 150,000 troops against the Northern Tartar army’s 50,000 troops. With three people beating one, how can they not win?

Qiao Gui imagined this sure-fire great achievement, so he suppressed the critical military power and instead coaxed the emperor to go north to escape the summer heat. On the way, he devised a trick to transfer Lu Hong to check the security of the summer palace. Then he informed the emperor of the critical military situation and changed the route with the imperial guards to Xuanfu.

As a result, the new general of Xuanfu was no match for the little prince of the northern barbarians. He abandoned the city and fled after a confrontation. He happened to meet the imperial guards coming from the north. When Qiao Gui saw the defeated army, he truly experienced the cruelty of war. He panicked and hurriedly took the emperor back.

The emperor, the factory director, and the general had all fled, so how could the soldiers fight to the death? The enemy hadn't even been seen yet, but the 150,000-strong army had already become chaotic and fled indiscriminately, trampling on each other, with many casualties.

The little prince of the Northern Barbarians led his cavalry and chased after them, hacking and killing all the way. The 150,000-strong army was facing the 50,000-strong Northern Barbarian army. It was like a flock of sheep meeting a pack of wolves. They had no power to fight back and fled all the way to the capital.

The walls of the capital city are high and thick, and they could have withstood thousands of troops, but the emperor asked for the gates to be opened when he returned to the capital, so who would dare to stop him from opening the gates?

The city gates were wide open, and the little prince of the Northern Tartars followed the army of the Great Mu Dynasty almost immediately, and they marched into the capital and the palace effortlessly.

The palace was destroyed, and the emperor was in a panic, not caring about taking anything with him. He fled to the south like a stray dog, which became the background prologue for the hero of the original book to start his rebellion.

This time, Su Fengyi had already rescued General Shen and arranged a plan for the two Shen brothers to defeat the Northern Tartars together. Naturally, she would not allow Qiao Gui to commit suicide like this.

This time, even if Qiao Gui wanted to hide the truth, he had no choice. Tomorrow, Su Fengyi would let everyone in the capital know the news of the Northern Barbarians' attack and keep Qiao Gui in the capital so that he would not be able to do anything wrong again.

General Shen was puzzled as to where Qiao Gui got the confidence from. Su Fengyi was not in a position to elaborate on the details, and only said:

"His confidence naturally comes from the number of people he has."

With just these two short words, without mentioning the Imperial Guards, Shen Quan understood what Qiao Gui was thinking, and his eyes became sharp:

"He actually set his sights on the Imperial Guards. If this villain is not eliminated, Da Mu will be in danger!"
