Song Chiyou was speechless and silently took the blame for someone.

"kill."

The chaos in the capital finally subsided. Inside the palace, the palace maids and eunuchs were busy washing away the bloodstains in front of the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

No one expected that the emperor, who had the least chance of winning, would win this palace coup.

This has changed many people's views on Song Chiyou.

The real heroes are hidden in the harem, enjoying her exclusive rewards.

The capital was stable, but the border areas, having lost their two generals, began to fall into chaos.

The soldiers lost their backbone and began to feel insecure.

Late at night, Song Chiyou and Xu Qiudong talked about this matter and said that they wanted to choose someone to replace Yan Xinxuan's position. Xu Qiudong gave him a candidate.

Song Chiyou heard it and directly refused: "No."

Xu Qiudong rubbed Song Chiyou's red ears in an ambiguous manner and said in a calm voice, "Why? Xu Yuren is the most suitable candidate. Haven't you always complained about his high reputation in the capital?"

Song Chiyou blushed and said uncomfortably, "How can a sister like you be like this? Not only did you not ask me to help him get a promotion, but you also tried every possible way to suppress him."

"If your brother knew, he would probably regret sending you to the palace."

Xu Qiudong naturally ignored the previous words and smiled at him. "I clearly remember that it was someone who spread the word that he was attracted to me and insisted on marrying me. That's why my brother was forced to send me to the palace."

Song Chiyou was like being executed in the street. He was so ashamed when he heard these words, but he had to pretend to be shocked.

"No way, it's obviously not me."

"Yeah?"

"yes!"

Song Chiyou changed the subject, feeling guilty. "I'm serious. Your brother must stay in the capital. He can't leave."

After experiencing this incident, Song Chiyou finally confirmed Xu Yuren's loyalty to him. In addition, because of Xu Qiudong, he felt even more at ease with Xu Yuren.

The capital must keep someone who can calm the ministers, and it is obvious that Xu Yuren is the best candidate.

Perhaps, the late emperor had the same idea back then.

Xu Qiudong just mentioned it casually, and when he heard Song Chiyou say that, he didn't ask any more questions.

What Song Chiyou didn't expect was that the next day, Xu Yuren would actually volunteer to go to the border at the morning court.

Song Chiyou did not give any direct answer, but left Xu Yuren alone after leaving the court.

In the Yangxin Palace, Song Chiyou finally rejected Xu Yuren's proposal.

"I have already decided on the person to go to the border, and it is not you."

"Your Majesty, there is no one more suitable than me."

After experiencing this incident, Xu Yuren has seen Song Chiyou's ability.

The emperor no longer needs his help in stabilizing his power in the capital. His presence would be counterproductive, so Xu Yuren wanted to take this opportunity to leave the capital.

He actually knew in his heart that Song Chiyou had been wary of Xu Yuren for so many years, but due to the late emperor's request, he never had the chance to explain.

"This is an imperial decree. You must stay in the capital." Song Chiyou added, "No one is more suitable for the position of Grand Marshal than you."

"General Xu, I need your assistance."

Song Chiyou had said this, so Xu Yuren could only agree, "Yes."

In the end, Song Chiyou sent a general to settle the matter. The general was really capable. Less than a month after arriving at the border, he brought good news to Song Chiyou.

The general integrated all the people under Yan Xinxuan and Min Xueming into one army for management. After going through some things, things finally settled down.
