He Lanmin opened her mouth wide, but was speechless. She really hadn't thought about this issue in detail, because even Tuoba Gui only mentioned it when he was so complacent just now, and she was full of it before today. How could he induce Tuoba Gui to change his son's name and then kill Tuoba Gui?
The black robe looked at He Lanmin with twinkling eyes and beads of sweat on his forehead, and sneered: "You underestimated Tuoba Gui too much. Although he has been taking your medicine, his mind is not confused. In fact, he put Tuoba Si and you The son treats you differently because of your performance. You are deeply scheming and only for yourself. Although Liu Guifei is also from his enemy tribe, she is willing to die for her son. Tuoba Si is a filial man and is for his mother. His death may even offend his father, so such a person can naturally gain his trust. It seems that he was expelled because he offended Tuoba Gui, but in fact, the real candidate for the crown prince has long been him."
"And Tuoba Gui has slaughtered heroes over the years, and even this time he wanted to kill thousands of people in Qinghe for a prophecy. Such atrocities are also paving the way for his son. The way of civil and military affairs has always been smooth, and the same is true for the emperor's mind. His own methods Being cruel and fierce makes everyone fear him, but after his son ascends the throne, he can win the hearts of the people and quickly stabilize his rule by showing some benevolence and righteousness. This is the method of great chaos and great rule."
He Lanmin nodded thoughtfully: "So, Tuoba Gui also knew that he was about to die soon, so he wanted to let Tuoba Si take over as soon as possible? Then he would expel An Tong on the pretext of interceding for the old heroes who had been killed by him? Going out, but actually asking him to assist Tuoba Si?"
The black robe sighed: "An Tong has been Tuoba Gui's best friend since before, and he is almost the only person he trusts, just like the relationship between Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi. Now that his great career has been decided, he doesn't need An Tong by his side. To make suggestions, you need to use An Tong's wisdom and prestige to teach and assist Tuoba Si. After all, before Tuoba Si was established as the prince, he had very little contact with power, conspiracy, and emperor's mind. And An Tong experienced the entire Tuoba Si Gui Qibing is familiar with the process of starting a business, so he can teach him."
He Lanmin said bitterly: "After working for a long time, it turns out that he has already decided on the candidate for the crown prince. So, he is just looking for opportunities and excuses to eradicate our mother and son?"
The black robe nodded: "Yes, the demise of the Murong clan was caused by Murong Chui being ruthless and retaining the extremely capable but evil-minded Murong Lin. And the threat from you mother and son is greater than that of Murong Lin back then, so, Even if you are honest, he will definitely find an excuse to kill you. The reason why he suddenly came back after massacring Qinghe this time is to blame you. As long as you are imprisoned, Tuoba Shao will definitely assassinate him to save you. In this case, it is justifiable to kill you. After all, all Tuoba Gui's previous killings may seem crazy, but there are always some reasons for rebellion. The same must be true for you mother and son. Otherwise, you will lose people's hearts and no one will Effectiveness.”
He Lanmin said in a deep voice: "Then what should we do now? We successfully counterattacked and killed Tuoba Gui, but according to what you said, An Tong assisted Tuoba Si, and he probably had some secret edict, will, or something like that. What if we ascend to the throne based on this?"
There was a sneer at the corner of the black robe's mouth: "If the old emperor's edict could determine the ownership of the world, then there would not be so many dynasty changes in the world. Tuoba Gui's own world does not depend on anything. Instead of getting the reward from the imperial edict, you can lay it down yourself. As long as you act quickly enough, control the courtiers and soldiers, and allow your son to ascend the throne as emperor as soon as possible, then there will be no problem!"
A hint of excitement flashed across He Lanmin's face: "This is not difficult. Several of the imperial generals who commanded the troops in the palace were bribed by me early, and the main military strength of the Northern Wei Dynasty, except for the soldiers and horses of the Tuoba clan, were many. It is commanded by the adults of various ministries. Tuoba Gui has always controlled the tiger talisman himself. With his death, no one can call upon the troops of Tuoba clan’s headquarters for the time being. I don’t believe he would give the tiger talisman to Tuoba Si.”
The black robe smiled slightly: "The analysis is very good, but you can't be too absolute. Maybe Tuoba Gui has some emergency measures. For example, if something happens to him, where can he ask Tuoba Si or An Tong to obtain the tiger talisman? Therefore, you must quickly master the troops and horses of the other tribes, especially the troops and horses of the major tribes such as Ba Ba Song, Ba Ba Fei, Shusun Jian, Da Xi Jin, Yu Hei, and Er Zhu Yujian."
He Lanmin laughed: "Then in the name of Tuoba Gui, we will order them to come to see you, and then use the imperial guards in the palace to detain them, force them to be loyal to Shao'er, proclaim them emperor, and then use them as hostages to let them The tribes will send troops over, and the generals and officers who are loyal to us will take over the command of these armies. In this way, the overall situation can be decided!"
The black robe nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, it seems that you have not stayed in the palace in vain for these years. You have become very skilled in these tactics. The most critical things in palace changes in the past are two things. One is It is a jade seal, and the second is military power. Now that Tuoba Gui has died like this, you cannot announce the funeral for the time being. You have to ask ten thousand people to notify the leaders of all ministries to come to see him. Just say that Tuoba Gui was sick because of Yu Lixiang's anger, and his body was unwell. Everyone has come to visit faithfully, and since what happened during the day, this statement will not arouse doubts, and Babasong can also be used as a witness."
"You remember, the current Babasong is the head of the Eight Dukes and the leader of the court. Only by controlling him first can the court be stabilized. In addition, Cui Hong and Cui Hao, as Baima Gong, are also from a Han family. Representatives, when the time comes, I will let them take the lead in supporting you mother and son. As long as Ba Ba Song and Cui Hong support them, then your plan will be mostly successful. The remaining issue of withdrawing military power will be done as you just said. If necessary When the time comes, I will also help you!”
He Lanmin kept nodding her head, suddenly thought of something, and said in surprise: "Master, should I inform Shao'er to enter the palace now?"
The black robe smiled slightly: "Go ahead. The first step now is to control the guards and horses in the palace. Cui Hao's scent will not last long. After an hour, these guards will regain their consciousness. At that time, they will If Tuoba Gui's death is blamed on them, it can be said that Tuoba Gui was the one who entered the palace and assassinated Tuoba Gui, and these people are the accomplices. As for how to obtain these confessions, I don't need to teach you."
He Lanmin laughed: "I'm going to make arrangements right away. Tonight, I will control the entire palace, but the adults from various ministries..."
At this point, her brows frowned slightly. The black robe said calmly: "Go and do your business. Call Cui Hao over. His father is one of the Eight Dukes, the head of a Han family. I think, with his father taking the lead, Ba Ba Song, Da Xijin and the others are... There’s no reason not to come.”
