Hu Hongfeng couldn't help but sighed. He used to not be optimistic about Helian Chunfeng, thinking that he was not the best candidate for succession, but this year, he followed Helian Chunfeng around, watching how Helian Chunfeng cared about the people, how he gradually regained the lost hearts of the late emperor, and stabilized the court. He really didn't want to see any mistakes in Helian Chunfeng.

"General Hu, the rebels will attack in a few days. I... have a merciless request." Helian Chunfeng didn't give an order directly, but used the word "a merciless request".

Hu Hongfeng was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, "The general can't bear it. If your majesty has anything to do, tell the general directly. The general will do his best to share the worries for your majesty."

Helian Chunfeng smiled: "The general is utterly loyal, I naturally know it, but my request may... damage the general's reputation."

Damage to reputation?Hu Hongfeng was startled, and quickly said: "Your Majesty's life must be more important than those false names."

"I want General Hu to lead troops to garrison the embassy in the next few days. No matter what happens in the palace, you must not leave Bai Su for half a step."

As the commander of the imperial guards, Hu Hongfeng disappeared when the rebels attacked the city, and he will be criticized in the future.

As for protecting his lover who has not been recognized by the world for the king of a country, whether he is loyal or not, each person has his own judgment. Helian Chunfeng discussed this matter with Hu Hongfeng in an attitude of entrustment, and it was also to let him make his own choice. In this matter, no matter how the world judges him, he has to bear it himself.

Hu Hongfeng has always known Helian Chunfeng's feelings for Hua Baisu, but he is still shocked by the other party's decision.

Helian Chunfeng had personally selected hundreds of imperial guards to station at the embassy before, and now he is required to stay behind with his own soldiers, he has to take people seriously, so that he will protect the other party regardless of his own safety.

A beautiful image flashed in Hu Hongfeng's heart, followed by boundless bitterness. He is also an emperor, some people accept the harem, and they are extravagant, while some are single-minded, and their love is stronger than gold.

Seeing Hu Hongfeng bowed his head in silence, with a heavy expression on his face, Helian Chunfeng frowned slightly, and asked aloud, "General Hu doesn't want to?"

"No, no, the final general is willing to serve His Majesty." Hu Hongfeng returned to his senses and saluted, "It's just that if the final general cannot protect His Majesty, then His Majesty's safety..."

"General Hu doesn't have to worry about this. There are still many guards beside me. From the current point of view, the chaotic party assembled by Helian Chunzhi is not enough to pose a big threat."

The reason why Helian Chunzhi dared to take the risk to send troops was that apart from being forced not to miss the last chance, he also mistakenly thought that Li Zheng would cooperate with him from inside to outside, and led his troops to surround Yunshui Palace first.

But in fact, Li Zheng had already handed over the list of rebellious parties among the guards to Helian Chunfeng, and Helian Chunfeng secretly sent people to watch those people. Once Helian Chunzhi made a move, those people would be controlled immediately.

Li Zheng had completely gained Helian Chunzhi's trust, and during the few months Hua Baisu left, Helian Chunfeng finally knew the reason why Helian Chunzhi was able to incite so many people.

Back then, Helian Chunzhi's biological mother did not leave the border after receiving the silver taels. She hated the late emperor in her heart, hated the late emperor for taking her son away, and even more hated the late emperor for abandoning her like a bum.

She had lived on the border for a few years, and while she was young, she joined a military adviser. That military adviser was also a strange man, rich and good at strategy, but he didn't want to be an official, so she followed the general at that time and advised him until the general died in battle.

That person had always been dissatisfied with Emperor Cangchuan's various actions on the border. After meeting Helian Chunzhi's biological mother, he was even more aggrieved for her.

Although Helian Chunzhi was in the palace, the military adviser had been communicating with him through letters, telling him how his biological mother gave birth to him with great difficulty, and how he was abandoned by the late emperor, which made Helian Chunzhi feel hatred for the late emperor in his heart, and then gradually taught him and advised him.

At the same time, the military adviser himself opened a school in a city on the border, teaching children poetry and writing letters for the wounded soldiers in the city.

In the past few years, there have been soldiers returning home due to various reasons such as injuries and illnesses. In addition, after the war, the people on the border fled everywhere, which gave this teacher at the border a certain reputation among the people.

He Lian Chunzhi was originally intelligent, and with intentional guidance, he gradually grew into what he is today. He cooperated with the military adviser, one was responsible for instigating the rebellion of the generals and officials in the court, and the other was responsible for inciting the common people. In addition to the various actions of the late emperor, they have cultivated many party members over the years.

After hearing what Helian Chunfeng said, Hu Hongfeng asked without thinking: "Is that person surnamed Fu?"

"Yes, that man's surname is Fu and his name is Lexian. Has General Hu heard of it?"

"That's it." Hu Hongfeng shook his head, "Mr. Fu is extremely intelligent, if the late emperor was afraid of his ability and deliberately suppressed him..."

This is somewhat different from what Helian Chunfeng heard, but in the middle of Hu Hongfeng's words, Helian Chunfeng already understood.

Sometimes people in the army are too capable, which is not a good thing for the king, and the late emperor was inherently suspicious, how could he tolerate him, but I am afraid that this matter was banned in the army at the beginning, so except for a few soldiers at that time, very few people knew about it, and they only thought it was Mr. Fu who did not want to be an official.

In any case, knowing the way Helian Chunzhi assembled his troops, Helian Chunfeng and others were more confident in winning the battle.

Although Hu Hongfeng was uneasy, he still followed Helian Chunfeng's order after he resigned, and brought people back to the embassy again. Unexpectedly, after just one night, someone came to report that the rebel army had entered Fenglin City, and within an hour, they would arrive outside the imperial city.

Chapter 63 Rebellion

"Why are those people going straight to the imperial city? Where is Tan Cai? What is he doing with the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses guarding Fenglin City?" After hearing the news, Hu Hongfeng paced back and forth anxiously in the room. The soldiers and horses of the imperial guards who were in charge of guarding Fenglin City were also under the command of General Tan Cai.

The person who came to report was also a little anxious, and after a while he felt aggrieved and said, "Your Majesty has ordered that you are not allowed to fight the rebels head-on in the city."

There are many people in Fenglin City, and the streets are not too wide. Once the two sides fight, it is easy to hurt the people in the city.
