Of course, Tian Rumo believed that as long as there was a chance, Queen Li would definitely say a few good words for Xiao Jun and Tian Rumo in front of Emperor Ming of Jin.

Xiao Jun is always her son, and Xiao Jun's future is her future.

If the prince born to another woman in the harem became emperor, Queen Li's ending would be very tragic.

Therefore, Queen Li's neutrality was just a strategy, which allowed her to maintain an important position in Emperor Ming of Jin, and then play an important role for Xiao Jun at critical moments.

After Tian Ruomo and Xiao Jun left, Emperor Ming of Jin's face was so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping out of it. He immediately sent Eunuch Zhu to investigate whether the truth was as Xiao Jun said, that the Red Flag Army had already sided with Xiao Jun and no longer obeyed his orders as the emperor?

Eunuch Zhu sent people to investigate, and news soon came back.

The people sent by Eunuch Zhu went to the Red Flag Army camp to announce the imperial decree, requiring several core lieutenant generals to immediately come to the palace to meet the emperor.

However, the reply was that any soldier in the Red Flag Army who wanted to leave the camp must obtain permission from the prince.

Therefore, several core deputy generals did not obey the order!

After hearing this report, Emperor Ming of Jin sat on a big chair with his mouth slightly open, and did not say a word for a long time.

Eunuch Zhu asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, several lieutenants of the Red Flag Army disobeyed your orders. Do you want to issue an order to punish them?"

Deal with them?

He sneered, "How to deal with it?"

They have all disobeyed the order and are not even afraid of the imperial decree. What else are they afraid of?

How can we deal with them?

These people of the Red Flag Army are in the military camp. If the imperial guards or the imperial guards from the capital are sent to capture them, they will definitely resist.

The Red Flag Army camp contains the most elite soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty. How could the palace guards and the imperial guards of the capital be their opponents?

Those who were sent into the Red Flag Army camp were like fat sheep that walked into a trap, and were simply delivering food to others.

If we send troops to attack and a fierce war breaks out between the two sides, it will seriously threaten the foundation of the territory.

However, there are still ways to intimidate them.

They are now disobeying the imperial order, which is a very serious crime and they can be executed along with all nine generations of their clan.

Well, if we can't catch them, we can go after their families!

He shouted in a low voice, "Send an order to arrest all the family members of the core deputy general of the Red Flag Army and put them in prison. Then send an order to those people. If they disobey the order again, their entire family will be executed!"

Eunuch Zhu went to do it immediately, but he came back soon and reported with a grim look, "Your Majesty, the families of these deputy generals have all been sent away and moved into the Red Flag Army's barracks."

"Not only the families of these core deputy generals, but also the families of the commanders of lower ranks were all sent to the Red Flag Army camp, where they were properly settled and strictly protected."

Emperor Ming of Jin was so angry that he wanted to shout a few times to vent the anger in his heart!

Without his knowledge, Xiao Jun actually did so many things that directly destroyed his foundation.

It was already anticipated that Emperor Ming of Jin would take action against the families of these generals, and preparations were made in advance.

Isn't Xiao Jun leading the Red Flag Army in rebellion?

He shouted, "What can we tolerate? The rebellious son's rebellious intentions are very clear. Order the imperial guards of the capital and the palace guards to form a coalition to suppress the rebellion and send them to the Red Flag Army camp!"

"I will kill all these bastards who betrayed me, leaving no one alive. Otherwise, I will not be able to vent my hatred."

Eunuch Zhu was a little anxious and fell to his knees.

"Your Majesty, I can't!"

Emperor Jin Ming gritted his teeth and asked, "Why not?"

"I also want to depose the crown prince now, remove the commander of the Red Flag Army, and issue a proclamation to the world, announcing the crimes of the rebellious son."

"I'm going to kill him!"

Eunuch Zhu knocked his head to the ground and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, if the Red Flag Army really rebels, the imperial guards of the capital may not be able to defeat them and will not be able to suppress them. The capital will be in danger!"

"Even if the Imperial Guards can defend the city and the Red Flag Army cannot attack, once the rebellion starts, it will surely affect all parts of Dajin."

"As you know, in all parts of the Jin Dynasty, there are many kings and military governors who command their own troops and are truly loyal to the court."

"If the Red Flag Army really rebels, not to mention the Green Mountain Army, other small and insignificant people will definitely seize their own territory and completely break away from the control of the imperial court, and the Great Jin will usher in a chaotic era."

"The country of the Jin Dynasty is in danger. Your Majesty, please stay calm!"

Emperor Ming of Jin wanted to do this only because he was angry at the moment. Once Eunuch Zhu reminded him, he really calmed down.

In recent years, the Jin Dynasty has suffered from natural disasters one after another, and the imperial court has given them greater powers to better deal with disasters. As a result, the power of local military governors has become too heavy, and the imperial court cannot take it back even if it wants to.

How could he not know that once the Red Flag Army rebelled, even if he asked various places to send troops to support the capital, they would only treat him perfunctorily.

They wish the imperial court would be in chaos first!

In particular, it was discussed some time ago that we should use the deterrence of Tian Ruomo's Qingshan Army to recall the military governors from all over the country to the capital, weaken their power, and consolidate the court's rule.

At this moment, if Emperor Ming of Jin really attacked the Red Flag Army, the consequences would be disastrous.

Emperor Jin Ming sat back on the big chair dejectedly, "That rebellious son really calculated every step accurately. I can't do anything about it, so I took this step."

"He is really very cunning and scheming. He has been living in silence for so many years. I guess he has been secretly planning how to deal with me. Once he finds an opportunity, he will strike me with one strike, right?"

Eunuch Zhu was still kneeling there. Seeing the state of Emperor Jin Ming, he quickly comforted him, saying, "Your Majesty, you are wise and brave. Over the years, you have made every possible plan and won every battle. You can determine the outcome of the world and consolidate the country."

"This is just a small defeat for you. Why do you have to be so angry and lose your composure?"

"Your Highness, I believe that you would not want to cause chaos in the Great Jin Dynasty. But has Your Highness ever really wanted to cause chaos in the Great Jin Dynasty?"

"Under the current situation, you may not be able to do anything to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the time being, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't really do anything to you either, right?"

"You are still His Majesty. You are the best in the world in terms of strategy and intelligence. No one can match you. As long as you calm down and plan carefully, you will be able to regain the initiative in a little more time."

Eunuch Zhu is Empress Li's man, and this is not said for the sake of Emperor Ming of Jin.

What he said is true!

Whether Emperor Ming of Jin or Xiao Jun sent troops, it was possible that it would result in chaos in the State of Jin.

Neither Emperor Ming of Jin nor Xiao Jun wanted to see this.

If he comforted Emperor Ming of Jin and gained his absolute trust, he would be able to make greater contributions to the new emperor and have a bright future and be invincible in the future.

How could Emperor Ming of Jin know what the eunuch Zhu was thinking?

He had never been very open-minded and could not hear Eunuch Zhu's inner voice. Of course, he thought that the servant in front of him was loyal to him.
