The edict was clearly written, and he took An Xiuruo's head and gave all the glory that Tan Xiaozu ministers could enjoy. While crying, An Xiuruo picked up the edict and said, "Since I met the general, I have followed my advice, like my teacher and brother. If the situation is like this, I am willing to exchange my head for the general's wealth. But my mother is still there, so I will say goodbye..."

An Xiuruo's mother was named You Yuan. She was old and depressed, and was no longer favored by An Zidao, and was excluded by Yang Fei. So she followed her son to vassal Jingzhou. After more than ten years, she never saw the holy face again, nor returned to Jinling. She relied on each other for life and had a very deep relationship.

Tan Xiaozu threw the sword angrily and said, "Who do you think I am? A person who sells your master and seeks honor? How could Xiaozu be used by the traitors and traitors after being favored by the former emperor? Today, he should assist in the surrender and rebellion. Why should you be suspicious?"

He was not a fool, and he entered the house with a sword alone, instead of leading troops to surround the royal palace, just to show his attitude of being incompatible with Jinling. If An Xiu was so calm, there would be a young master who would be in custody in the curtain behind him, and his personal force did not threaten him at all, so he pretended to be a pretentious person, just deliberately showing weakness to test people's hearts.

An Xiuruo was extremely moved, left the seat and walked to the side to pick up the sword, and personally sent it back into the sheath, saying, "General Zhongyi! I misunderstood the general!"

Seeing that he was happy, Tan Xiaozu stopped, knelt down and said mercilessly: "Your Highness, An Xiuming killed his father and usurped the throne, which is unpopular. As long as your highness is righteous, great things can be accomplished..."

An Xiuruo looked worried, but only helped Tan Xiaozu up without speaking. Yan Wan walked in and said, "Hundreds of thousands of elite troops in the central army, Shen Duren is called the God of War, and Xiao Yushu has great military achievements. It cannot be defeated by a general with a sharp lip. Moreover, An Xiuming occupied the Tianfu and was eager to attack. According to my opinion, we need to make a long-term plan."

Tan Xiaozu said sternly: "Children Huangkou knows what military affairs do you have? Shen Du is old, and Xiao Yushu is so worthy of being a woman? However, the three armies have not moved, but you are here to block the morale of the army. Please ask Your Highness to behead his head and inform the people to cheer up their morale!"

When An Xiuruo saw Tan Xiaozu angry, he hurriedly scolded Yan Wan: "How can you be so rude to General Tan? Why don't you apologize quickly?"

Yan Wan pursed her lips and said coldly: "The mansion discusses affairs and expresses its opinions. If it is a little contrary to you, I will threaten it with my life. How dare I ask General Tan, is this your Highness's Governor's Office or your Governor's Office?"

Tan Xiaozu laughed, his laughter was disdainful, and said, "You sour literati are really unscrupulous, and their words are as good as swords. They are just cherishing their lives and fearing death. It is really ridiculous. The central army is hard to fight, and Xiao Shen can sit and watch the rebels stay in Taiji Hall and be honored to the south. Little do they know that a hundred years later, the one who ruins your reputation is this generation! The killing of your head is not because you and I have opposed it, but because you mislead Your Highness, who is the sinner of Chu!"

Everyone knows how to buckle big hats, but cleverness is a science. Tan Xiaozu was able to get from the bottom to today, not as vulgar as he seems, but deep-minded as Yan Wan, who has never encountered setbacks.

Seeing the two of them talking and their own reasons, An Xiuruo hesitated and said after a while: "Don't argue, let me think about it carefully. Since my eldest brother wants my life, it is really inexplicable, so he can take it. You can't fight with each other and let others laugh at it!"

"Your Highness!"

Tan Xiaozu also wanted to persuade him, An Xiuruo waved his hand and said, "Xiaozu, you go back too, and don't make a decision in a hurry. Brother, you should value you so much, and it may not be a good thing to rely on him."

Tan Xiaozu touched the ground on his forehead and said, "My loyalty to His Highness can be revealed to the sun and the moon. If His Highness is willing to let go, I will release my armor and return to the field and never ask about the world."

"Why is this?"

He Xi's light shone into the house through the diamond-shaped lattice window. Half of An Xiuruo's body was bathed in the light, and the other half was hidden in the darkness. He couldn't see the expression in his eyes, and it was even more difficult to know what he really thought, and said, "Go down!"

That night, the two of them were discussing secretly in the woodshed. The woman who was called the Eighth Lady by Zuo Qiu Shoubai still couldn't see her appearance and whispered: "Today, Tan Xiaozu came to see Your Highness, handed over the secret edict you gave him, and asked Your Highness to raise an army with righteousness. Unfortunately, Yan Wan blocked it. Your Highness did not agree, and said that she was willing to die to fulfill the brotherhood."

Zuo Qiu Shoubai chuckled and said, "Is King Jiangxia who is willing to surrender? The reason why he is hesitating now is that he is afraid of the Central Army and Shen Du. If he is defeated, he will not be able to settle down in a corner. It is better to take advantage of the chips in his hand and talk to the Lord about the best of both worlds." His smile was full of mockery and said, "The best of both worlds? If the An family is friendly and respectful, when will we walk openly between heaven and earth in six days?"

"So you forged a secret edict and deliberately asked Tan Xiaozu to transfer it to His Highness, and completely cut off his idea of ​​peace talks with Jinling?"

"The secret edict is not a forgery, it is indeed the Lord's intention. However, the Lord asked me to act cheaply. If I think Tan Xiaozu could buy it, I would give him the secret edict. You told me that Tan Xiaozu would never betray King Jiangxia, but I still gave him the secret edict, so naturally I wanted to push King Jiangxia behind my back. Unexpectedly, this general who had been garrisoned by Jingzhou for many years was so indecisive. With his sword and axe, he didn't have the courage to fight... An, hey, the more the An army is a dragon, An Zidao is a tiger, and the next group is all rats!"

The Eighth Lady was silent. She received the order from the Five Heavenly Lords and fully cooperated with Zuo Qiu Shoubai. The punishment in Siwantian Palace was clear. Although she was not under the jurisdiction of the water officials, during the mission, once her duties were clarified, she had to obey unconditionally. Even if she was allowed to sacrifice her life, she could not hesitate at all.

But at this moment, she felt Zuo Qiu Shoubai's madness and destruction. His hatred for An had reached an uncontrollable point, and he would probably make a fool of himself to affect the overall situation under impulse. Just like this time, she suddenly handed over the secret edict to Tan Xiaozu. If An Xiu learned that An Xiuming had bribed his subordinates today, his life would be seriously threatened, and he immediately decided to rebel. The group of messengers, including Zuo Qiu Shoubai, would probably become the first wave of sacrifices for the flag sacrifice.

Yes, this is the completion of the task assigned by God, but before the matter is over, as long as you take advantage of the situation, you can also complete the task while ensuring safety.

The believers for six days are not afraid of death, but unnecessary sacrifice is unnecessary. For them, leaving a useful body is more beneficial to the great way than blindly going to death.

Should I report this situation?

The Eighth Lady was in a dilemma.

Tan Mansion.

Xu You and Qingming appeared again like ghosts. Tan Xiaozu was not surprised and told what happened in the palace today. Qingming frowned and said, "Yan Wanming is stubborn, should you let him shut up?"

There is only one way to shut up a living person, that is, to turn him into a dead person. Tan Xiaozu's expression changed: "No!"

Qingming said lightly: "The general needs no worries. Assassinating Yan Wan is just a simple task. You can also make a case to blame the messenger group afterwards, and there will be no trouble!"

Tan Xiaozu smiled bitterly and said, "I am not talking to him. Yan Wan is your confidant. She has relied heavily on her for many years and has died in the hands of the enemy. She has nothing to say. But if she kills her rashly because of a disagreement in politics, I am afraid that once this example is opened, there will be no peace!"

A woman’s kindness!

Assassin from Qingming, he had no psychological burden on assassination. Internal fighting was nothing more than deprivation of authority and life. For those who participated in this game, deprivation of authority was actually not much different from deprivation of life.

Look at Guo Mian. If there is no day to turn over, his life will end from the moment he is expelled from Yan Wan from the palace!

The two looked at Xu You at the same time, waiting for him to make a decision. Xu You said in a deep voice: "It's a pity to kill. Yan Wan has talent. There will be some place to rely on in the future. Moreover, General Tan said that political struggles must not open up assassinations. Once they lose control, the consequences will be unimaginable."

He paused and smiled and said, "Yan Wan is not King Jiangxia after all, and as long as she can convince King Jiangxia, it will be useless no matter how much Yan Wan obstructs it."

Early the next morning, Xu You and An Yuyi met, pretended to be her entourage and went straight to the back house of the palace to meet King Jiangxia's mother You Yuan. Concubine You was less than 40 years old, and her appearance and figure were as beautiful as a girl in her twenties. Her appearance was not beautiful, but she could also be called a graceful one. However, in places like the harem, there were too many little fairies, and she could only lose favor. An Zidao was not ruthless and allowed her to follow King Jiangxia to join the vassal state. She enjoyed glory in Jingzhou over the years, but in fact, she was much happier than the concubines in the palace.

"You are Xu You?"

Before Xu You answered, You Yuan recalled: "Yes, it looks very similar to your mother. It was during the Lantern Festival. She went to the palace to pay her respects. I even pulled her to talk for a long time..."

When people get old, they are easy to recall back then. Xu You immediately climbed along the pole, his eyes turned red, and he said, "When I was young, I heard my mother mention the empress, and there was much admiration in her words. When I saw her today, I felt grateful to Mu Ci'en, but I couldn't help but think of her mother again. She was guilty of being respected by the past and being guilty of death!"

"You are filial, how can you be guilty?" You Yuan shook her head and said, "My wife can't tell you the right or wrong about the tragic incident of the Xu family. But since it has passed, don't take it to heart. It's better to live a good life than anything else!"

After a few more gossips, You Yuan was very good at Xu You Guan and asked with concern: "Yuyi said you want to see Guaner? What's the important thing?"

Xu You heard of An Xiuruo’s small-character Guan'er for the first time, and said, “I came to save your highness’s life!”

"ah?"

You Yuan was shocked and walked closer, held Xu You's wrist and said, "Is anyone going to kill Guan'er?"

Smelling the faint fragrance from the two-breasted gold bars and velvet skirt, Xu You felt calm and stared at You Yuan, saying, "An Xiuming sent an envoy to Jiangling to seek peace, which was just a delaying strategy. In private, he sent an envoy to bribe Tan Xiaozu and other generals in charge of the Governor's Office with a secret edict, saying that he would kill King Jiangxia and gain wealth. Fortunately, General Tan Zhongyi submitted the secret edict to King Jiangxia yesterday and was willing to lead the troops to fight against rebellion. Who knew that Yan Wan was afraid of death and might even be bribed by the envoy, so she tried her best to dissuade King Jiangxia and asked him to surrender. Empress, now that your highness has soldiers, resistance may not be dead, but you have to listen to Yan Wan. After surrender, you will hand over the military power and become a lamb to be slaughtered. How can you save your life?"

Yan Wan wants to reach a compromise with Jinling, it is impossible to hand over military power. Xu You just gave him some eye drops in front of You Yuan. If you don’t say it seriously, how can you

"This...this..."

Xu You's eyes and expression were powerful persuasive. You Yuan was not the powerful concubines in the deep palace who had great means, otherwise she would not have left the palace sadly. At this time, when Xu You said with confidence, he suddenly became confused and said, "Okay, I'll take you to see Guan'er now, and you can persuade him, and you can't trust Yan Wan..."
