Outside the city, the five military camps are located.
Chu Yan looked at Yu Shengwu, the commander of the Tianji Camp, with a dark face, but he couldn't vent his anger.
He was annoyed because he was involved in yesterday's incident, but what was equally difficult to deal with was that Yu Shengwu came to the camp early in the morning and honestly admitted it himself.
"General Chu, we are all rough men. What has been done is done. There is no need to investigate the matter of inciting those scholars. This is what Lord Yan and I meant."
Yu Shengwu is already in his forties. When facing Chu Yan, he doesn't follow many rules and expresses his thoughts very straightforwardly.
"We brothers have supported Lord Chu and you, General, in your uprising since a long time ago. Many nobles also strongly supported the Chu family when the late emperor did those things. After Lord Chu came to power, we originally agreed to rebel against the court, but now Lord Chu casually says he won't rebel anymore?"
"General Chu, don't you think about it? Lord Chu is now treating the rebellion as a joke. What kind of thing is this? Is this just playing house?"
Chu Yan was moved by these words, but in the end, he couldn't help but scold with a cold face:
"I have my own plans on how to persuade Big Brother. Why should you worry about me?"
"My eldest brother is just talking, are you planning to incite the scholars? If I don't rebel, will you put a knife to my neck in the middle of the night?"
As soon as the words fell, Yu Shengwu suddenly became anxious and knelt on the ground:
"We, your subordinates, would never dare to harm Lord Chu and the general! General Chu, we are all diehards of the Chu family. We are doing this only to remind Lord Chu that once you have made up your mind to rebel, even if you give up, nothing will change."
"Whether it's us or the common people, they won't think that Lord Chu has turned over a new leaf. General Chu, you should understand that the Chu family is now regarded as traitors by the world. Lord Chu has only one way to go."
"If Lord Chu doesn't rebel anymore, will the Emperor let the Chu family and us go? Even if the Emperor compromises, when Lord Chu has a child, what about his son? What about the future crown prince?"
What Yu Shengwu said is loyalty and true love.
Without knowing the inside story, there is nothing wrong with this statement.
But Chu Yan was so angry that he laughed after hearing the first sentence.
"Old Yu, are you thinking of this as a warning or a threat? Say it again now. Do you really dare to speak so eloquently in front of this general?"
Hearing these words, Yu Shengwu, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but tremble.
Looking up at the Governor Chu in front of him, he hesitated and was unable to answer, and finally gritted his teeth.
"Whether it's a reminder or a threat, I mean it out of kindness."
Yu Shengwu stubbornly maintained a stubborn attitude, but at the end, he went a step further: "Besides, I think that since Lord Chu doesn't want the throne, why should General Chu, who holds military power, be so humble? It would be better for you, General Chu..."
Before he could finish the rest of his words, Chu Yan could no longer recognize him and stepped forward to kick him.
Yu Shengwu was kicked so hard that his body tilted and he almost fell down, but he still knelt obediently and did not dare to resist at all.
"Bullshit!"
Chu Yan started swearing directly.
"Not only did you disobey my orders and act on your own, but you also dared to disrupt the relationship between me and Big Brother. Where did you get the courage?"
"I'm not trying to deceive you, but if Lord Chu really doesn't intend to rebel and become emperor, then you, General Chu, will have to take the throne yourself. This is for the Chu family, and also for the brothers!"
Yu Shengwu's eyes were red as he spoke. "General Chu, let me be frank. If you hadn't rebelled, even if it was just an attempted treason, the emperor might have considered it and forgiven you. But...but what about us brothers?"
This time Chu Yan was speechless.
I stood there blankly, not knowing how to explain these things.
He naturally knew what Yu Shengwu was talking about. Similarly, he also knew that his elder brother could not be unaware of the interests involved.
But my eldest brother is a dominatrix.
He has no choice.
Could it be that the solution he really wants to use is the same as what my elder brother mentioned yesterday, and now let me go to the land of Qi to become the emperor?
Make yourself emperor and resolve conflicts among your subordinates.
The solution is a perfect and good idea.
Chu Yan himself also longed for a glorious history in which he would be recorded in history books as a military general who had achieved great achievements, rather than being a rebel.
But with Anguo's current national strength, it is still too difficult to swallow up Da Qi.
Even though Chu Yan is still a young man now, he has plenty of time to squander his youth and realize his dream of becoming an emperor.
"Ultimately, you were impulsive. You can't change the fact that you made a mistake."
Until the end, Chu Yan sighed helplessly.
"You don't know what my eldest brother is planning now."
Seeing that General Chu's tone had calmed down, Yu Shengwu was also a little surprised and couldn't help but look up.
Afterwards, he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "...If Lord Chu doesn't rebel, what else can he plan?"
The fact that the emperor was actually the empress was still kept secret. Although there were some bold speculations in the palace, most of the civil and military officials outside were still unaware of the news.
Yu Shengwu really didn't understand. Everything was clearly a perfect plan, and all that was missing was the finishing touch.
But why did he suddenly change his mind at the last minute?
He didn't know what happened in Taining City that day, but even so, it still made these soldiers of the Beijing Camp feel very worried.
At first they thought that Lord Chu was coerced by the little emperor, but later they found out that it was not the case.
They simply couldn't imagine what was going on.
After all, the current emperor and the Chu family are like water and fire, and both sides have thorns on their sides and cannot get close to each other.
There must be a winner between Lord Chu and the Emperor.
Chu Yan looked at him and didn't explain immediately. Instead, he returned to the chair and sat down.
After thinking about it, he confessed the truth to Yu Shengwu:
"If I tell you now that the emperor is ours, what would you think?"
"Is the emperor one of ours?"
This one sentence stunned Yu Shengwu, who was kneeling on the ground.
My mind is itching, and I can't quite grasp the meaning of these four words "our people".
"General, I don't understand... Could it be that... the emperor is dead, and the current emperor is one of ours pretending to be the emperor?"
