What to do if you have too many golden fingers? Walk sideways!

"An Mengde" glanced at him.

Then he walked up to Gu Xi, bowed and said:

"Master, I, Tie Niu, am here."

The ministers were stunned.

Eunuch Lin shouted anxiously:

"General An, you are wrong, His Majesty is over here!"

Li Tieniu ignored him and said, "Who am I calling General An? My surname is Li, huh."

Emperor Jichang's face changed drastically.

The person he trusted the most, An Mengde, was actually bribed by the imperial master?

This, how is this possible?

He is his adopted son!

Emperor Jichang felt his wound hurt even more.

He gasped and said:

"Meng De, I treat you better than my own son. If you kill the traitor today, I will make you the crown prince!"

When the 256th Prince heard this, his eyes widened immediately:

"Father! No!"

"He is just an adopted son, he has no royal blood!"

"We are your biological sons!"

Emperor Jichang glanced at the three of them with disdain.

"Shut up!"

The survival of An Ning State is at stake, and their lives are hanging by a thread. Is this the time to fight for the throne?

Li Tieniu looked at Emperor Jichang with disdain and asked, "Who wants to be your crown prince? Wouldn't it be nice to eat chicken legs with the imperial teacher?"

He said to Gu Xi:

"Master, potion."

Gu Xi took out a towel dipped in medicine and gave it to him. Li Tieniu wiped his face and immediately became a different person.

"Hey, I can finally be the Iron Bull again. I still think I am more handsome."

Gu Xi was speechless for a while.

I didn't expect that you are still an ordinary man.

Everyone watched "An Mengde" remove his makeup, and then their eyes widened.

Who is this? How can this person be transformed?

Li Tieniu smiled innocently at everyone.

"My name is Li Tieniu, and I am a soldier under the Imperial Master. An Mengde embezzled military pay and abused the Northern Army. He was executed three months ago."

Some of the Northern Army that followed in were all delighted.

No wonder General An’s temperament suddenly changed three months ago. It turned out that he was replaced!

What a good exchange! What a wonderful exchange!

The way they lived in the past three months was like a real life. They didn't care whether the general's surname was An or Li. They would recognize whoever treated them well as their master.

"General Li! General Li!..." The northern soldiers raised their shiny swords and shouted in unison, their voices excited.

All the civil and military officials in the court were stunned.

Emperor Jichang's face turned pale.

It turned out that the Northern General he recalled was not his adopted son An Mengde, but someone arranged by Qi Dasheng.

Isn't this just inviting a wolf into the house?

Emperor Jichang regretted it deeply.

"Qi Dasheng, you are so scheming that you killed General An a few months ago with the intention of treason. You are so vicious! However, the whole court is watching, your conspiracy will not succeed!"

After Emperor Jichang finished speaking, he became so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Gu Xi felt so wronged.

She really didn't intend to rebel.

Today's incident was really a matter of one thing after another. Given the current situation, she had to resist. She was right and couldn't explain herself clearly.

Li Tieniu widened his eyes and said:

"Old Emperor, you are not allowed to lie with your eyes open. Didn't you summon me back to the capital with a secret decree? You also said that the Imperial Master has too much influence among the people and will threaten the throne, so he must be removed!"

"But the Imperial Master has never said anything about treason. He has always told me to protect the soldiers, guard the north, and never let Beiyan set foot in Anning Kingdom!"

Li Tieniu was honest and straightforward. He gave an angry explanation and most of the people present believed him.

They also knew that Emperor Jichang had come to the throne illegitimately, so they suspected that others were coveting his throne and everyone seemed to be a traitor, even their own son.

He is even less likely to tolerate those who are so successful that they threaten the master.

Emperor Jichang was so angry at Li Tieniu's words that he vomited blood again.

Gu Xi was a little worried at the moment.

Now that they have fallen out, she must fire Emperor Jichang.

But if the emperor is dethroned, who will become the emperor?

These three princes? They look so cowardly, even worse than the old emperor.

Gu Xi glanced at Chu Zhao.

"Today is a good day, how about you take the throne?"

Chu Zhao shook his head:

"No, I'm exhausted as a wise ruler, and I'm afraid you'll chop me to death if I become a foolish ruler."

In fact, he was thinking, as an emperor, he would be sitting in the palace reviewing memorials every day. How could he follow his wife around to pay homage?

Gu Xi glanced at the ministers and said:

"My Lords, you should also know that Emperor Jichang is incompetent, petty-minded, and suspicious of loyal people. If our Anning Country wants to develop, we must change to a wise ruler. Otherwise, you can recommend someone."

When the ministers heard this, they all looked at each other in bewilderment.

What does it mean? The Imperial Master rebelled, wasn't it to become the emperor himself?

Then - the ministers looked at the three princes, and it seemed that none of them had the potential to be a wise ruler, but the parties of the three princes became active.

Perhaps the imperial teacher was too embarrassed to ascend the throne himself and wanted to support a puppet emperor.

A puppet emperor is still an emperor, it is better than being a prisoner.

The clever Sixth Prince had obviously thought of this. He took a step forward, slid down to his knees in front of Gu Xi, kowtowed heavily, and said devoutly:

"Master Imperial Master, I am willing to acknowledge you as my father-in-law. As long as you support me in ascending the throne, I will make you the regent and we will share the world together!"

The corners of Gu Xi's mouth twitched.

Father-in-law? The Sixth Prince is more than ten years older than her.

The second and fifth princes were so anxious that they slapped their thighs and rushed over to kneel and call him daddy, promising more conditions than the sixth prince.

Emperor Jichang was so angry that he vomited three liters of blood.

"Treasonous son! Accept the thief as your father!"

Gu Xi felt very complicated as he looked at the three "sons" kneeling in front of him who were about the same age as his father.

With this character, you still want to be the emperor?

The civil and military officials in the court are too embarrassed to watch. They asked you to compete for the throne, not for the father!

At this moment, there was a commotion at the door. Gu Xi turned around and saw that it was Lin Xiaoxuan.

Behind him followed General Chu Shiting, the Lu family father and son, Shen Kuo, Li Quan, Lan Wei, and several civilians...

He entered the hall, handed the two scrolls in his hand to Chu Zhao, and said:

"Ready."

Lin Xiaoxuan is a commoner and his words are not powerful enough, so naturally he has to find someone who is respected and admired.

Gu Xi looked at the two of them in surprise. What the hell was going on?

Chu Zhao opened the scroll, took a look at it, and then handed it to Old Marquis Chu.

"Grandfather, you read it."

Old Lord Chu took the scroll and took a look at it, he was so angry that he gnashed his teeth.

You kid, others are cheating their fathers, but you are cheating your grandfather!

One of the two scrolls enumerated the ten major crimes committed by Emperor Jichang during his reign, saying that his virtue was unworthy of his position.

The other is a book for all peoples, with countless hand prints and names on it, all expressing gratitude and admiration for the national teacher.

Gu Xi asked Lin Xiaoxuan and others in confusion:

"Why are you all here?"

Lin Xiaoxuan said:

"They all came to the capital spontaneously after hearing that you were murdered. Although they were halfway there, they still wanted to see you when they heard that you were safe. Today, they heard that Emperor Jichang was going to deal with you, and they were all filled with righteous indignation and insisted on going to the palace to save you, so I brought them here."
