Gu Dayong coughed and said worriedly: "The most terrifying thing at the moment is not the rioters. The power of the rioters is actually limited to the imperial guards and the Three Thousand Camps and the Shenji Camp. There are only 20,000 people in total. Even so, I say something that should not be said. Are these Warrior Camps, the Three Thousand Camps and the Shenji Camps really a traitor who is determined to be?"

Looking at Ye Chunqiu who listened seriously without intending to interrupt his words, Gu Dayong continued: "No, I don't think so. To put it bluntly, it's just that people like Qian Qian are ambitious and want to use Prince Xing to achieve the success of the Dragon and to go to a higher level."

Speaking of this, Gu Dayong narrowed his eyes and then said, "The truly determined riots are only 8,000 at most. The others are actually just following the crowd. Whatever Shangguan said, they dare not disobey. Seeing others following Zhu Houguan, they just follow him."

"These people are put in Beijing, which is a drop in the bucket. But the real hateful thing is not them, but other Beijing camps. Our Ming Dynasty has defended many camps of troops in the capital, and so many elite soldiers and generals, but what? What's the use? They have never had any use. They hid one by one and hid in the camp! What do you want to do? They are afraid that they are the ones who are ahead! Why are they not afraid? They are afraid that if they jump out to suppress the rebellion at this time, if Zhu Hou wins, they will die without a place to die! What are they even more afraid of? They are afraid that their tribe members will be implicated, so they have to wait for the final result to come out. Whoever wins, then they shout long live. Alas, they say that raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while, but where is it so easy? These Qiu Ba..."

Ye Chunqiu listened to Gu Dayong's complaints, but in fact he just smiled. Even Gu Dayong couldn't help but despise these Qiu Ba. It can be seen how corrupt these officers and soldiers have become?

Ye Chunqiu shook his head calmly and said, "Who can you blame me? I am outside the pass and dare to pat my chest and say that the new army is absolutely loyal to me, and I dare to say that as long as I give orders to let the new army die, they will never frown! Qiu Ba, who is also in the heart of Eunuch Gu, hasn't Eunuch Gu ever thought about why the gap is so big?"

Ye Chunqiu smiled, looked into the distance, and said with deep meaning: "Actually, it's not entirely a fault for these people! Raising soldiers for a thousand days depends on how to raise them! On weekdays, they treat them as slaves, and scold them at all times, and they are all despised and looked down upon them. Even if they are food, drink and supplies, can they be given enough? If they have made merits, there will be no rewards. Look at it yourself. When this military officer goes to fight, when will it be a civil servant? If they have made merits, they will be robbed by these so-called civil servants and eunuchs. But if they are defeated, Qiu Ba in the mouth of Eunuch Gu will become a scapegoat. Eunuch Gu said they are Qiu Ba, they say they are not loyal and righteous, and they are slick.

, But do they dare to have loyalty and righteousness? If they dare to act loyally and righteously at this time, this is to lead troops out of the camp without authorization. What is this crime? The family is confiscated and exterminated! I have learned a lot of lessons, and it is their way of survival. This is in line with a sentence, "If the king treats his ministers as his brothers and feet, then the minister treats his king as his heart; if the king treats his ministers as dogs and horses, then the minister treats his king as his countrymen; if the king treats his ministers as earth, then the minister treats his king as enemies." Now, although Your Majesty is also good at swords and guns, he pays more attention to military affairs, but the military management is still the method that has been inherited in the Ming Dynasty over the years. The officers and soldiers have made Qiu Ba. Could it be that they still hope that these Qiu Bas who are from the Liba people will be angry and dare to make any arguments?"

Gu Dayong listened to Ye Chunqiu's high talk and was speechless for a moment, because Ye Chunqiu not only cursed the civil officials, but also the eunuchs. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and coughed dryly: "Yes, yes, Your Highness King Lu is truly insightful, I admire him very much."

But Ye Chunqiu was actually very clear. Although Gu Dayong nodded repeatedly, he might not have remembered his own words and probably disagreed with what he said.

Ye Chunqiu naturally knew that he had nothing to say, what else could he say? Many things were powerless to change. In this pass, it was like a big quagmire, in a pool of mud. No matter how you want to change or work hard, it would only fall deeper in the end. This is the old custom that has been passed down for more than 150 years!

Can you change Your Majesty alone, but can Your Majesty change the literati and officials so that they have respect for the officers and soldiers? Even if you change the literati, can you take care of all the officials of the court, be willing to give them more money and give them full supplies?

And... Can you dismiss those hereditary military officers and make the Ming Dynasty new?

Nothing can be changed, and it can still touch the whole body. The final result is not only that it cannot be changed, but it even makes a mess.

Ye Chunqiu understood the joints here too well, but at this time, it was not the time to delve into such matters, and then said: "It is useless to talk about these things now. The most important thing now is to do everything possible to protect His Royal Highness and Eunuch Gu, do it well. The Jinyiwei must report the news at any time, and do not take it lightly."

Gu Dayong said respectfully: "Yes."

After two days like this, the guards outside obviously began to become impatient.

Zhu Houcan also obviously saw Ye Chunqiu's intention to procrastinate.

After all, he didn't calm down. In fact, it might not be that he was not cunning, and he could no longer wait.

You must know that such things must be made immediately and cut the mess with a quick knife, otherwise the longer the time will be, the greater the variables will be.

On the morning of the third day, many people gathered here in the Honglu Temple. Zhu Youzhi and Zhu Hougui were both sitting in the main seats. Then Qian Qian, the commander of the Shenji Camp, Zhu Jin, the commander of the Three Thousand Battalions, Zhang Hong, and some ministers who did not enter the court's convention, are now gathered together.

Dozens of people looked extremely solemn in their faces.

All the fantasies were over. I thought that under this strong pressure, Empress Dowager Zhang would surrender. If so, this would be the best thing. If this could be solved without bloodshed, it would be the best result.

It’s just a pity that as time passed by minute by minute, it was obvious that Ye Chunqiu and Empress Dowager Zhang in the harem were determined to be desperate to the end.
