The Empress Dowager

Chapter 494 The Wolf's Ambition
"What rewards and no rewards? As long as the general gives us a bite to eat." A burly man said, although he said so, he was still very happy in his heart. What is the purpose of being a soldier?It's not that they want to get ahead, but now God has given them a chance, and they can't waste it in vain.

"Yes, yes..." Everyone echoed.

Song Mingyuan looked at the reaction of the crowd and smiled, and said, "Everyone, it's getting late, and this general will not keep you."

"General, I will take my leave!"

"General, farewell!"

"Farewell!"

……

The crowd was not unhappy because Song Mingyuan asked them to go back. Instead, they looked very excited, and they all stood up and hugged Song Mingyuan.

Song Mingyuan smiled and nodded towards them, and asked the servant to send them out of the house.

A few days later, the generals received a notification from Song Mingyuan that they would attack at night tomorrow.

At the same time, Murong Xuan and Murong Yu checked for a few days and found Song Mingyuan at the same time.

In the emperor's bedroom, the old emperor's condition had improved. Murong Xuan and Murong Yu sat on the chairs beside them, looking at the old emperor lying on the bed with solemn expressions.

After a long time, Murong Xuan said: "Father, my son has something to tell you."

The old emperor opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, moved his mouth, and it took him a long time to make a sound: "National affairs? Or family affairs?"

Looking at the old emperor's current state, Murong Xuan felt very uncomfortable, calmed down his emotions and said, "National affairs."

"Speak!"

"Father, this matter is very important, you must not get angry." Murong Xuan was very worried about the old emperor's health, so he reminded him in advance.

"Zhen, isn't he still fine now? Don't worry, I haven't reached that point yet." The old emperor finished speaking in one breath, a little out of breath, and Eunuch Lu hurriedly helped the old emperor calm down.

"Father, General Song has been conspiring with his subordinates in the study of the general's mansion for many days to rebel." Murong Xuan said, looking worriedly at the old emperor lying on the bed.

Hearing the words, the old emperor coughed a few times, his face livid: "Prince, Old General Song fought the world with me back then, and we are brothers and sisters with me. I treat the general's family well. Tell me, why are they dissatisfied?"

"Father, today is different from the past. What's more, this Song Mingyuan is not the old general Song. You can't see this wolfish ambition."

Father has always acted decisively, why would he be so emotional now?Could it be because of illness?
"I am really old." The old emperor said, coughed a few times, and said: "Prince, you say that Song Mingyuan is going to rebel, do you have evidence?"

"Yes." Murong Xuan said, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Eunuch Lu.

Eunuch Lu took the paper from Murong Xuan, helped the old emperor up, and handed the paper to the old emperor.

The old emperor took the paper and looked at it, his face was even more ugly: "This Song Mingyuan is really brave!"

"Father, my son has another piece of evidence here." Murong Yu said, got up and handed the evidence to the old emperor.

The old emperor looked at the evidence that Murong Yu handed over, and coughed a few times: "Rebellious officials and thieves must not be tolerated."

Eunuch Lu patted the old emperor on the back and didn't dare to say anything.

"Lu Cheng, help me up, I want to draw up an order." The old emperor said weakly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Lu helped the old emperor put on his clothes, and helped the old emperor go to the desk to polish the ink, and then Eunuch Lu stepped aside.

The old emperor took a brush and dipped it in ink, and quickly wrote on the imperial decree. After a short time, it was finished.
