On the city wall, he couldn't help but look at his elder brother.
"Brother, look..."
"What are you looking at?" Chu Yi turned to look at him.
"I still say the same thing. General Shi seems to be interested in you, big brother. Why don't you show off a little bit of your charm..."
Chu Yan fell silent after saying this, and the meaning behind it was self-evident.
Chu Yi looked at him silently.
"Haha, everything you said today will be presented as evidence in court. I will tell your sister-in-law everything exactly as it is!"
This cold tone penetrated into Chu Yan's heart like ice chips.
Chu Yan was stunned.
Then, the smile on his face became a little forced.
"Brother, that's not what I meant. I meant that if you're willing, I won't tell you about this kind of thing..."
"Well, not only did he come up with bad ideas, he also tried to deceive my sister-in-law and wanted to shake her position. I will tell you all about these things when the time comes!"
Chu Yan: “…”
You're so——
Chu Yan almost got angry.
He was really a little overwhelmed. How could he be working for the benefit of his elder brother, but his elder brother stabbed him in the back?
There was no way. He was obviously aware of his elder brother's attitude towards this matter, and he was not in a position to offer any more advice.
However, because of this, facing the tens of thousands of new troops on Shi Qingxue's side, the situation suddenly became unclear.
Soon, Shi Qingxue led an army of 70,000 and stationed not far from the capital, forming two major forces to compete with the Beijing army.
She herself did not stay at all, and walked straight out of Chang'an Gate with a thousand guards, as if no one was around.
At the gate of Chang'an Gate, Chu Yan still stopped the group of people.
"General Shi, the situation in the capital is currently unclear. To avoid accidentally injuring friendly forces, please dismount and enter the city alone!"
As soon as he said this, Shi Qingxue immediately looked over.
"Accidentally injuring friendly forces?"
"Perhaps General Chu has misunderstood. I have come to rescue you. Perhaps I cannot become allies with these traitors!"
Chu Yan's face, which had been filled with anticipation, suddenly dimmed.
Sure enough, if Qing Xue had already led 60,000 troops into the pass at this time, there was no way he would sit idly by and watch the crisis facing the young emperor.
Chu Yan feels very uncomfortable now.
He shouldn't have listened to his elder brother and said that there was no need to worry about the mere 70,000 new soldiers of mixed quality.
But the actual situation was obviously different. Most of these 70,000 soldiers were indeed new troops formed on the way to suppress the rebellion. After all, they had experienced fighting and were not easy to mess with.
If the rebellion had started half a month earlier, the current situation would definitely be completely controlled by the Chu family.
However, the imperial army was in the south at the time, and if one was not careful, a situation of division between the north and the south could easily occur.
After saying all the nice things, Chu Yan's tone became serious.
"In that case, you can't go in."
sonorous——
A cold light flashed, and Shi Qingxue drew out the spear behind him without hesitation.
"Either I will lead a hundred soldiers into the palace, or... General Chu will wait for the army to attack the city."
"This is my final condition. You can choose one."
Chu Yan: “…”
There is no room for maneuver at this point.
It would be much better if Qingxue went into the city during the holiday.
Anyway, by that time the emperor and the commander-in-chief of the new army will be in the palace. By holding the emperor in your hands, you can command the princes.
After thinking it through, Chu Yan ordered people to open the city gate.
Shi Qingxue didn't say much and led a hundred soldiers into the city.
Looking at the female general walking away, Chu Yan gave orders to the general next to him.
"Tell someone to keep a close eye on Tai'an Gate. If anyone comes out, arrest them immediately!"
"Yes, General Chu, I will arrange it right away!"
…
"My Lord, I cannot wait any longer!"
In the palace, Yuzhu was running around in a panic.
"Your Majesty, if you tell Lord Chu the truth now, he will definitely give up. But if Lord Chu really decides to rebel, it will be difficult to resolve the situation in the future. Moreover...what if Your Majesty encounters danger..."
"Why are you in such a hurry? I know what's going on." Xiao Ling looked very calm.
But Yuzhu might not even realize that she herself was feeling extremely distressed.
Although Chu Yi only controlled the outer city of Taining, this was already a sign of rebellion.
Since the day the carriage left the city, she actually returned to the palace with the help of Fu Xi. She has been staying in the palace for the past few days and has not gone out.
The situation outside is indeed very bad.
"Your Majesty, General Shi has returned to the capital! He is outside now and wants to see Your Majesty!"
Suddenly, the excited voice of the young eunuch came from outside.
Xiao Ling couldn't help but be very surprised. Shouldn't Shi Qingxue be Chu Yi's person?
Could it be that... it is Chu Yi's mission to meet me?
"Let her in."
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Ling waved his hand.
Perhaps she understood a little bit that there were some problems with the little witch's previous inferences.
Mu Ci entered the imperial study with Shi Qingxue.
She originally wanted the Heavenly Guards and the Imperial Guards to find a way to control the capital, but there was no way, His Majesty just wouldn't make a decision.
"General Shi, when we meet His Majesty, we must convince Him. If we don't act now, we will be in a passive position."
On the way, Mu Ci gave instructions.
Shi Qingxue glanced at her and nodded.
…
"I greet your majesty."
"Well, no need to be so polite," Xiao Ling looked at the two of them, "You all know the current situation, so let's be brief."
