After the disappearance of the Ji family, the court was in chaos. Many people secretly speculated whether General Ji was going to rebel. Many people even began to secretly contact General Ji, wanting to take sides, and many officials cursed him.
However, the common people did not feel anything about this. These emperors had done many absurd things, corruption was rampant in the court, and they did not care about the lives of the common people. After General Ji resigned, Chengnan carried out large-scale burning and looting in the country. Many people lost their homes and became displaced. The disaster relief silver allocated by the court was exploited at all levels, and many people starved to death in the war.
Now that General Ji has regained control of the military power, he has quickly defeated Chengnan. After hearing so many rumors, some people will think it is natural.
The emperor began to panic: "If they want to rebel, they have been stationed in Ganzhou and have not returned to Beijing. I'm afraid they are plotting something!!"
On this side, the soldiers stationed in Ganzhou heard that Your Majesty was dissatisfied with the rumors outside and had already taken action against the Ji family. Now they are just waiting for General Ji to return to the capital, so that they can catch the turtle in the jar and execute the entire Ji family. General Ji’s other followers will not be spared.
Liu Jiao: "We were fighting on the front lines, but the emperor listened to slander, cut off the army's rations, and refused to pay. If it weren't for the Jin family's entire clan providing military supplies, it would be hard to tell whether the war would be won or lost. Maybe the emperor would bury our achievements in order to appease the people's anger."
"It would be better to support General Ji as the emperor. General Ji is considerate of his subordinates and is clear about rewards and punishments. He will not let his contributions go to waste."
With others adding fuel to the fire, the soldiers' emotions quickly became agitated.
"We will follow General Ji till death!!"
........
Zhang Qing arrived outside the capital and entered the city under the protection of the Jin family. At this time, the court was in chaos. Zhang Qing took this opportunity to talk to an old acquaintance of General Ji and told him that Ganzhou had successfully revolted and hoped to open the city gates to receive him, so as to achieve internal and external cooperation.
Some of them pretended to agree and secretly gathered troops to resist. When Tu Yufan found out, he killed them in advance.
After receiving the news, Liu Jiao began to prepare to enter the capital. At this time, General Ji also woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw that he was wearing a yellow robe, and others were kneeling beside his bed and shouting "Long live the general".
General Ji: “…”
His eyes were bloodshot and he wanted to bite Liu Jiao to death, but he also knew that the situation was set at this point and it would be too late to regret. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers behind him would be buried with him.
When General Ji's army arrived outside the capital, the rebellious generals who defended the city took the initiative to open the gate, and the army rushed in. General Ji issued a ban on harassing the people.
"After entering the city, looting is prohibited. Violators of military orders will be punished!"
"yes!"
.....
Upon learning that General Ji had entered the capital without much effort, the palace was instantly in chaos. The emperor fled in panic under the escort of the imperial guards. For the sake of his own life, the emperor did not forget to take Tu Yufan with him.
As soon as he escaped to the small gate of the palace, he found that someone was already guarding the exit. The leader was wearing armor and had a rough and unfamiliar appearance. It seemed that such a person had never appeared in the capital.
The two sides immediately started fighting, and Tu Yufan grabbed the emperor by the collar. At this time, the rough man directly asked, "Xiaozi?"
Tu Yufan tore off the disguise. The emperor looked at the man in front of him with a look of doubt and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am General Ji's son-in-law."
Seeing that the emperor was about to faint again, Tu Yufan pulled out a needle from his pocket and stabbed him directly on the head. His eyes rolled back and he fainted.
The rough man said to Tu Yufan excitedly: "Zizi, you stabbed the emperor to death!!"
The guards showed grief.
Tu Yufan's face darkened: "Shut up! He's not dead yet!"
This guy is Jin Chong, the scion of the Jin family. Tu Yufan discovered that he had brute strength, so he trained him to be a private soldier. Later, he discovered that he was gifted and had great strength, so he gradually entrusted him with important tasks. However, he was a little annoying in his way of speaking.
