I am not Yuan Shu

Chapter 182 Tell everything you know and share the glory!
Duan Ying, who had crawled out of a sea of blood and corpses, even felt an inexplicable fear towards Yuan Shu, who was smiling calmly in front of him.

He didn't understand why some people would treat deposing and enthroning an emperor as common as eating and drinking, and why some people would treat the emperor so calmly.

he……

Doesn't he have any fear?
Did he have no respect at all for the Emperor of Han?

You don’t even want to act anymore?
But Duan Ying had seen big scenes before, so he swallowed and forced himself to calm down.

"Mr. Yuan, you...you have been planning this for more than half a year?"

"Yes, it's been more than half a year, and we have prepared everything that needs to be prepared. Tonight is the final blow."

Yuan Shu smiled and said, "I brought most of my men in Maoling to Luoyang, and my father also arranged the warriors that could be mobilized in the Yuan clan outside Luoyang City. Together with the two armies of the Northern Army and the Praetorian Guards, it is no problem to mobilize more than 10,000 people.

Moreover, the King of Bohai is in Liangzhuang outside the city. Captain Duan, thank you for informing me in advance that the eunuchs are going to kill the King of Bohai. This is very important to me. If it succeeds, Captain Duan, you will be the first to achieve the credit. "

Duan Yu was stunned, his mind buzzing, and he suddenly remembered that he had told Yuan Shu before that Wang Fu was going to take action against Liu Kui.

Yuan Shu didn't make any move after that. He thought that Yuan Shu and the Yuan family behind him had all been scared. Who would have thought that they were actually... already prepared for a mutiny?
And brought Liu Kui from Jizhou to Luoyang?

You...you are so awesome for doing great things quietly!

Duan Ying swallowed again and spoke carefully.

"Mr. Yuan, are you guys really going to start a rebellion? Deposing and enthroning an emperor is no small matter. If…if something goes wrong, then, then it will be very bad!"

"Nothing unexpected."

Yuan Shu interrupted Duan Xing and said in a cold voice: "Captain Duan, there is no chance of a catastrophe. There are only two choices: victory and death. If it is not victory, my Yuan family will die without a burial place. Don't worry, this is a battle with no retreat. I will kill all the eunuchs at all costs.

And you, Captain Duan, you have two choices. First, kill me, or capture me, take me to the palace and present me to the eunuchs, reveal all this in exchange for the eunuchs' absolute trust and future wealth and glory, and leave behind an eternal infamy.

Second, follow me, bring people into the palace, wait until night, and help me open the Shuoping Gate and the Canglongque Gate from the inside, let my army in, kill the eunuchs, depose the tyrant, establish a new king, pacify the world, continue the Han Dynasty, and achieve the pinnacle of human officials. "

Duan Ying sat in front of Yuan Shu in a daze, his whole body petrified again, motionless, like a sculpture.

Yuan Shu did not continue to say anything, just looked at Duan Xing calmly, as if what he had just said was not some shocking statement like deposing and enthroning the emperor, but just some trivial matters like what to eat tonight.

He was actually gambling that Duan Ying would not willingly become a eunuch's lackey if he had a choice.

As a healthy man and a veteran warrior, he would not be willing to be ordered around by a group of hermaphrodites all day long, doing all the dirty and tiring work and bearing all the insults.

He would never let go of any opportunity to restore his dignity as a man.

Yuan Shu is a man of credibility.

Yuan Shu believed that the whole Luoyang knew this. The whole Luoyang knew that Yuan Shu was a man of his word and would do what he said. With his credibility, he made such a promise, and Duan Ying had no reason to doubt its authenticity.

So, he must believe it.

Although law-abiding citizens should refuse gambling and drugs, Yuan Shu also believes that there is gambling everywhere in life, it is just a matter of size and amount, not whether it exists or not.

When it comes to the level of imperial power, gambling is nothing out of the ordinary. From ancient times to the present, such gambling has never been absent. The transfer of the highest power has never been smooth. Even if the position of the emperor can be inherited smoothly, the political rule of "a new emperor, a new minister" is no joke.

What he has to do is to do everything possible to maximize his chances of winning, so that when the game begins, he can take advantage of the situation to achieve a great victory.

There were indeed not many guards at the gate of the imperial palace, and the garrison was also very weak, but the walls of the imperial palace were high, deep, and wide. If they could not be taken down in one go, once the enemy reacted and dispatched more people to guard the gate, the palace would be shaken, which would be greatly disadvantageous to the attacker.

This operation cannot be delayed too long. It would be best if it could be completed before dawn, catching everyone off guard. By the time the frightened people react, Liu Li would already be sitting on the throne.

They had to have no choice but to accept reality, end Liu Hong's rule as quickly as possible, start Liu Kui's rule, and enter the liquidation phase as quickly as possible, so as to establish the foundation of Liu Kui's regime. And the premise of all this was - fast!

So, Duan Ying, what is your choice?
Time passed slowly, and under Yuan Shu's gaze, Duan Ying's expression gradually relaxed. He seemed to realize something, raised his head and looked at the calm Yuan Shu.

"Mr. Yuan, I cannot bring many people into the palace, nor can I stay here until night, but I have some ways to stay here. If I can help you open the Shuoping Gate and the Canglongque Gate, what reward will you give me if I succeed?"

"General."

Yuan Shu raised his lips and said with a smile: "The Grand Commandant, one of the Three Dukes, Captain Duan can become the Grand Commandant as a Liangzhou native, become one of the Three Dukes, reach the pinnacle of human officials, establish a government and govern affairs, and leave his name in history."

Duan Ying took a deep breath.

"anything else?"

"You are already the Marquis of Xinfeng County. Your title cannot be raised any further, but I can increase your fief to 10,000 households, making you the only Marquis of 10,000 households in the Han Dynasty, the top of all marquises, and you can ennoble your wife and children."

Duan Ying closed his eyes and took another deep breath.

"anything else?"

"Ten thousand mu of good farmland, ten thousand pieces of silk, one thousand pieces of Sichuan brocade, one hundred taels of gold, and ten thousand taels of silver."

Duan Ying took a final deep breath.

"Can I trust you, Mr. Yuan? Your doctrine is about conscience and unity of knowledge and action. Can I trust you? Will you keep your promise?"

"I swear to heaven, if you break this oath, heaven and earth will forsake you!"

Duan Xing stared at Yuan Shu deeply and stretched out his hand to him. Yuan Shu smiled, raised his hand, and clapped hands with Duan Xing three times to make an oath of alliance.

The oath has been made, and heaven and earth see it.

Duan Ying's expression was obviously much more relaxed. He breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Yuan Shu, and finally laughed.

"Mr. Yuan, you actually told me such a big thing at this time. The word "forbearance" is not enough to describe you."

Yuan Shu chuckled.

"If Captain Duan and I had known each other for several years, I wouldn't have told him now. I am like this, and so is Captain Duan. But it will be fine in the future. As long as the great cause is successful, Captain Duan and I will be friends for life. We should tell him everything and share the glory together."

"Tell everyone you know, and share the glory!"

Duan Xing was very satisfied with these eight words.

Afterwards, Duan Xing and Yuan Shu decided on the specific time to open the gates at night. As soon as the time came, he would officially take action, open the city gates, meet up with Yuan Shu's army, and enter the palace together to kill everyone and all the eunuchs.

This is of course an extremely dangerous thing, but when the other party has no suspicion or precautions, it does not seem to be a difficult thing to do.

As the Inspector of the Imperial Guards who was in charge of investigating all directions, he knew nothing about this matter. If he knew nothing, how could the eunuchs who lived in the palace every day know?
How could the little emperor know?

Even he had just learned that Liu Kui had actually arrived in Luoyang, waiting to become emperor!

After the emperor is changed, I become his loyal minister, enjoying the benefits of his service. Doesn't that mean I can get whatever I want?
Fortune and wealth can only be achieved through risk; Duan Xing, who had emerged from a sea of blood and corpses, understood this truth only too well.
