A stern look flashed in He Lanmin's eyes: "Tuoba Si must have more than one supporter, An Tong, and Yu Lixi will not be the only assassin. When Yu Lixi left, His Majesty was still angry. I guess this
Now they are not sure whether His Majesty is dead or alive, and want to wait and see. Therefore, we absolutely cannot announce the news of His Majesty's death at this time. All tribal leaders with more than 5,000 troops and horses, as long as they are in Beijing, must be surrendered.
They immediately entered the palace and said, Your Majesty is going to have a public duel with Yu Lixi, and everyone is required to be a witness. If you don't come, you will be guilty of the same crime as Yu Lixi!"
Tuoba Shao gritted his teeth and said, "What does the mother-in-law mean by spreading the news like this, so that the thieves will think that your majesty is still alive and not dead?"
He Lanmin sneered and said: "That's it. When His Majesty punished rebels in the past few years, he always let all the ministers enter the palace together, then captured the rebels and executed them on the spot. This routine will be very familiar to everyone, because there are people who have followed Yu.
It’s the reason for Li Yu’s duel, so I’m afraid no one outside will doubt it.”
Haram frowned: "But Yu Lixi ran away. He will at least spread the news that His Majesty was seriously injured. Then even if there is a spy, he probably won't dare to come."
Cui Hao shook his head and said: "That may not be the case. Yu Lixi did not see clearly whether His Majesty was alive or dead at that time. In addition, Concubine Helan has always had the ability to rejuvenate. He and Tuoba Si must not dare to bet that Your Majesty is dead and escape from him.
It can be known so quickly that at this time, he probably ran all the way out of the city after leaving the palace, and did not dare to notify his accomplices in the city. Tuoba Si has always been on the run, and will not easily do so before the overall situation is decided.
Entering Pingcheng, there should be only some of their accomplices left to watch in the city now, and the leader of the thieves must not be in the city!"
Tuoba Shao laughed and said, "Then we should close the gates of Pingcheng and capture the associates who are friends with Tuoba Si, Yu Lixi, An Ting and others, right?"
A trace of disappointment flashed across He Lanmin's face, and she said: "A Shao, now you haven't even ascended to the big position, and you haven't even gained the support of the ministers. How can you do such a thing? In what capacity do you do such a thing?
Order?"
A trace of shame flashed across Tuoba Shao's face: "I didn't think well, I'm sorry."
He Lanmin sighed: "Ah Shao, such a big change has happened. You will soon rule the world and control the lives and deaths of thousands of people. You must think carefully about everything. You can't be the same childish talker as before.
My mother-in-law can protect you for a while, but she cannot protect you for the rest of your life."
Tuoba Shao gritted his teeth: "In the past, children had little experience in these military and national affairs, and they still needed guidance from their mothers and concubines, as well as your full help. This matter is not only for me to take power, but also for my
Father takes revenge, otherwise, why would he be the Son of Man and stand between heaven and earth?!"
He Lanmin's face flashed with joy, and she nodded excitedly and said: "Only by being extremely filial can one be loyal to the country and care about the common people. Ah Shao, my mother and concubine likes to hear this!"

Cui Hao said sternly: "Your Majesty's filial piety has impressed and moved us. But now, the best way to fulfill your filial piety is to break the thieves' conspiracy. Right now, the only people your Majesty can trust are the people here, the adults from outside the court.
Which of the important ministers is loyal or treacherous depends on their performance. Now it is impossible for us to control the entire Pingcheng, and it is impossible to seal the city and search for thieves, but it is still possible to control this palace city. General Haram, you now have
How many troops and horses are there, and are they reliable?"
Haram said in a deep voice: "The two thousand guards and hunters in the palace are under the control of five generals including me. They are now on duty normally. The five of us did not know about such a huge change until we arrived here. But now
The truth has been revealed, and we will swear allegiance to Concubine Helan and King Qinghe to the death."
The other four generals also said in unison: "We are willing to serve the king and the noble concubine and avenge the late emperor!"
Cui Hao nodded: "With your support, this important matter is half successful. Please go out immediately, mobilize troops and horses, leave 500 people on duty in the square, and 1,500 people bring bows and arrows to the city wall."
Please don't disclose the news of the late emperor's death. Just say that your majesty is going to have a duel with Yu Lixi, and then send Tiqi to go to the city to inform all officials above the minister's rank that they must enter the palace to see him within an hour, and they must
We will set out at the same time as the envoys and leave as soon as they arrive. We can enter the palace in casual clothes without giving them any room to turn around!"
He Lanmin nodded with satisfaction and said: "Master Cui's arrangement is really powerful. In this way, the thieves are not given time to inform and communicate with each other, let alone the opportunity to mobilize troops outside the city."
Cui Hao said calmly: "At the same time, we need to notify the soldiers and horses in the outer city as soon as possible to seal the city gate. Just say that there are tens of thousands of captured prisoners in the city, and they may need to be executed to sacrifice to heaven."
Tuoba Shao said in confusion: "Didn't you say that we don't have the troops to defend the outer city now? But your arrangement is different from what you just said."
Cui Hao waved his hand: "It is impossible to control the outer city, but the order must be issued. This will reveal the good and the evil. If it were the people in the city, they would have already known what happened in the palace today. They would not be surprised. And
If they are traitors, they will think that we are going to block the city and capture people, so they will either run away or simply cause chaos in advance. In either case, the thieves can jump out on their own. I believe that most of the soldiers are loyal to the Wei Dynasty.
Those who are loyal to the country will not follow the thieves to cause trouble at this time. To use an idiom of our Han people, this is called alerting the snake, and the result is also within our control."
He Lanmin nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes, the 30,000 soldiers and horses in the outer city and the northern grassland are mostly from various ministries, headed by Ba Ba Song. If Ba Ba Song did not participate in the rebellion, then we can let him enter the palace.
After the city, tell him the truth of the matter. Let him be loyal to the late emperor and raise an army to fight against the thieves."
Cui Hao said sternly: "Yes, even my father and family don't know about this matter now. This is a business matter, a state matter, above the interests of the family. If my father doesn't come by then, or there is evidence that he has also participated in the conspiracy,
Regarding the matter, please also ask General Hara to behead me first as a clear punishment!"
Haram waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No, no, no, how is this possible? Mr. Cui is so loyal this time, and Mr. Baima is also the founding hero of the Wei Dynasty. How can it be like this?"
Cui Hao said calmly: "To be honest, my father will not tell me everything, but my Cui family has been loyal and righteous for generations. I have also accepted this concept of loyalty to the emperor and the country since I was a child. I believe that my father
I will not betray Wei. When the time comes to explain the truth to all the important ministers and lords, I will also tell the truth about everything I saw. Ten thousand people, this is not only your last chance to atone for your sins and repay the late emperor.
This is also a good opportunity to wash away the humiliation of being a rebellious member of your Lu family, you must not miss it."
Ten thousand people nodded quickly and said: "I will report truthfully."
He Lanmin stood up and said in a deep voice: "Without further delay, let's get started!"
