Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

"You are not allowed to trespass in an important place in the army. Who is coming? Tell me your name quickly."

The generals of the Northwest Army did not pay any attention to the chariots of Song Chengzhou and others, and seemed to send cavalry to mow down the troops if they disagreed.

"Bold, the person coming is an important minister of the court, the governor of the seven provinces south of the Yangtze River, Lord Song Chengzhou."

Song Chengzhou's close subordinates yelled loudly, and the leading general was suddenly surprised. He never expected that Song Chengzhou, the governor of the seven provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, would come to the northwest in person.

Song Chengzhou's prestige was obvious to all in Dakang. After all, the official position of governor of the seven provinces south of the Yangtze River was unprecedented and unprecedented.

"It turned out to be Lord Song Chengzhou. His subordinates immediately rushed to the army and reported the news to Lord Chen Qiao."

The leading general bowed his hand towards Song Chengzhou's chariot, then turned around and hurried towards the military camp.

When Song Chengzhou heard the general's words, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. This meant that Chen Qiao had come to the Northwest Army a long time ago and had already taken control of the entire Northwest Army.

As a marquis conferred by the imperial court, the Northwest General Chen Qiao secretly sent out of Kyoto to the northwest. This was already a sign of rebellion. At this time, Chen Qiao took control of the Northwest Army...

Hearing this result, even Song Chengzhou sighed in his heart. He had been betting that Chen Qiao was not as fast as himself, but he never expected that Chen Qiao was so fast. In a very short time, he Came to the northwest.

"If these people didn't take action immediately, it means that Chen Qiao mutinied. We have one more chance. Remember, no one is allowed to talk nonsense after arriving at the military camp. You are not allowed to wander around in the camp. You must obey my orders in everything."

Song Chengzhou looked at his subordinates' instructions with a face in his mouth, and at the same time began to adjust his clothes, preparing to meet the military marshal of the imperial court.

Not long after, a low horn sounded in the military camp, and then a large number of people poured out of the military camp and began to line up on both sides.

The first young general came to Song Chengzhou's car in person. This general was short in stature and had a dark face, but he looked extremely majestic. Song Chengzhou could tell at a glance that this young general was the famous Chen Qiao.

"Master Song, Mr. Chen has missed his welcome from afar, please forgive me."

Chen Qiao dismounted himself and came to Song Chengzhou's driver.

Song Chengzhou opened the curtain and got out of the car. He looked at Chen Qiao in front of him with some emotion in his eyes.

"Master Chen, your Majesty sent me to the northwest to supervise the army. Do you have any objections?"

Song Chengzhou glanced at the generals on both sides. These generals should be the backbone members of the Northwest Army.

There were about a dozen generals and many captains below. Each of these generals and captains had cold faces and sinister eyes. Even the well-informed Song Chengzhou felt as if he was in a world of ice and snow. .

Judging from the eager looks on these people's faces, there is a high probability that they have guessed the imperial court's intentions. Many of these people should have decided to rebel.

Song Chengzhou also knew in his heart that taking one step out was equivalent to stepping into the gate of hell. Once he entered the military camp, it would be even more difficult to get out alive.

After thinking about it for a while, Song Chengzhou still smiled at Chen Qiao and said, "I went to the northwest to work for the army in accordance with His Majesty's wishes. Your Majesty sees all the generals and generals who sacrificed their lives and blood for the country."

"Also, General Chen Qiao, you couldn't let go of the Northwest Army and came to the Northwest alone. Your Majesty already knew about it and sent me to the Northwest specifically to understand the situation."

"Your Majesty also said that General Chen's situation is special. He came to the northwest privately. According to the laws of Dakang, he should be punished. However, His Majesty thought that your hard work was great, so he asked Old Chen to come and comfort him!"

Song Chengzhou's words expressed both Ning Fan's intention and the court's attitude. In fact, the main intention was to temporarily stabilize Chen Qiao and wait for changes.

In fact, Song Chengzhou had concluded that even if Chen Qiao wanted to rebel, in this era, rebellion could not be decided by one person. No matter how prestigious he was in the military, he still had to make some preparations before committing rebellion.

Maybe these generals absolutely support Chen Qiao, but ordinary soldiers in the army may not be able to follow Chen Qiao in the rebellion. After all, rebellion is a major crime against the Nine Clan, and these ordinary soldiers cannot commit the crime of following Chen Qiao.

Chen Qiao must use means to push these soldiers step by step to a point of no return. Only then will they follow Chen Qiao in rebellion. Otherwise, these ordinary soldiers will definitely not follow Chen Qiao in rebellion.

Song Chengzhou also caught Chen Qiao's unprepared mind and did not dare to break with the court at will. Only at this time did he dare to dance on the tip of a knife.

Sure enough, after hearing Song Chengzhou's words, although Chen Qiao looked ugly, he did not dare to break up with Song Chengzhou. He just invited Song Chengzhou to come to the military camp very politely and entertained Song Chengzhou according to the highest etiquette in the military camp.

"Master Song, does your Majesty really not blame me for escaping to the northwest privately?"

When only Song Chengzhou and Chen Qiao were left in the camp, Chen Qiao also changed his face.

"Of course your Majesty will have ideas, but he asked me to come to the northwest and persuade the general to put the country first and the nation first. Don't take selfish desires too seriously, and don't let the country fall into division and war because of selfish desires. In the midst of war.”

Song Chengzhou looked at Chen Qiao, and the expression on Chen Qiao's face was extremely painful.

"Master Song, if I said that I couldn't help myself, would you believe it?"

Chen Qiao looked at Song Chengzhou.

"Master Chen, His Majesty's trust in you remains the same as before. After all, you have worked hard for the country. Your Majesty told me when you came here. As long as Master Chen is willing to turn around, everything must be discussed."

Song Chengzhou said calmly.

The two sides are playing a psychological game. Chen Qiao's words are also to hold back Song Chengzhouer. Are Song Chengzhou's words not to paralyze Chen Qiao? Both sides have their own agendas.

The conversation naturally ended unhappily. After Chen Qiao left, a faint smile appeared on Song Chengzhou's face. The situation was not as bad as he imagined, and there was still room for redemption.

However, the confidants accompanying him were all worried. After all, they had never encountered such a situation before, and they could not sleep in the enemy's military camp.

In the evening, Chen Qiao prepared a grand welcome banquet. Song Chengzhou naturally dressed up to attend, with a smile on his face. Everything was carried out in a harmonious manner, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves while drinking and drinking.

"Sir, are we really going to stay in this military camp? I'm afraid that after Chen Qiao is ready, our lives will be lost."

After the dinner, several men came to Song Chengzhou's tent and said worriedly.

"Don't be anxious in advance. I have a way. You just need to follow the steps."

Song Chengzhou didn't say too many words, and just asked a few of his men to retreat temporarily.
