You can't only love the Qing Dynasty when you're eating the fruits of others' labor.

Chapter 234 is a mistake; the one plotting the rebellion is the Empress Dowager!
Jiang Qingyun put down his wine bowl, his eyes resolute.

"Of course I know. The Golden Family is the only legitimate lineage on the Mongolian grasslands."

That one sentence is enough.

All Abu Nai wanted to hear were two words: orthodoxy.

The two of them finished another bowl; the milk wine was rich and had a strong aftereffect.

"Your Majesty?"

"Call him Anda."

"Anda, I have a request of you."

“Don’t say ‘beg’. We are Anda. Saying ‘beg’ will make us a laughingstock.”

"Go to the palace tomorrow morning and tell the Emperor that the Empress Dowager is plotting a coup and intends to install Bomubogor as the new emperor."

……

Abu Nai was startled and looked Jiang Qingyun up and down repeatedly.

Seeing his reaction, Jiang Qingyun sneered inwardly. No wonder Lin Dan Khan, who commanded 100,000 archers, suffered such a crushing defeat back then. You and your son are too weak.

But he still patiently explained:

"Your Highness, it is like this. I personally believe that the Golden Family is the legitimate one. Legitimate is legitimate, even for ten thousand years. They are incomparable to the Khorchin people."

Abu Nai smiled reservedly.

"Dark clouds cannot block out the sun."

Jiang Qingyun thought to himself, "I can see right through you with just one sentence."

"The Empress Dowager is the totem of Khorchin. With her around, the princes of Khorchin will always be superior to your Golden Family."

"If the Golden Family wants to regain its former glory, it must overthrow the Empress Dowager."

"Now, coincidentally, I also want to overthrow the Empress Dowager because she's on the wrong side. This is the perfect opportunity to bring her down; if I miss it, there won't be another chance."

"Anda, I ask you, are you willing to join the side of justice?"

His words were spoken calmly, logically, and with a clear objective.

Abu Nai suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He picked up two jars of milk wine, one for himself and the other for Jiang Qingyun.

"The Eternal Heaven bears witness; drink it, and the covenant is established."

Jiang Qingyun slapped open the wine seal, picked up the jar, and poured the wine over the clothes and boots. One-third of the wine was absorbed by the jar.

"That felt great, that felt great!"

Abu Nai danced with joy.

……

When Jiang Qingyun woke up, he found himself lying on a warm sheepskin blanket, with a naked Mongolian woman lying next to him.

"you are?"

“Abu Nai is my cousin. Young master, you are very fair-skinned.”

Jiang Qingyun shoved away the annoying groping hand and cursed Abu Nai inwardly, thinking that even at a critical moment, he was still drinking and womanizing, truly hopeless.

This kind of incompetent teammate will drag you down with him sooner or later.

"Hey, don't go! When are you going to marry me?"

The woman asked loudly from behind.

Next room.

Jiang Qingyun kicked open the door, pulled the fast-sleeping Abu Nai out of the sheepskin blanket, and angrily sprayed tea all over his face.

Abu Nai was still sleepy:
"Good sir, what are you doing here?"

"Your Highness, if you do not take action now, the Golden Family will have no chance to rise again."

Abu Nai's eyes finally cleared, and at this moment, he actually seriously considered a question: what would he gain if he betrayed Jiang Qingyun?

The answer is: the benefits will be minimal, and Horqin will always be one step ahead.

……

"Your Highness, do you know what to say when you get before the Emperor?"

"How to say?"

Jiang Qingyun took a deep breath and forced a smile.

"Your Highness, listen to me. I will say it once, and then you can repeat it."

Just before leaving the house.

Abunai suddenly said solemnly, "If the Great Yuan Empire returns, I will not forget you."

"Your Highness, what are you saying?"

Jiang Qingyun was startled by these extremely presumptuous words.

“Jiang Anda, stop pretending. You’ve killed so many Manchus; you’re clearly not a loyal subject of the Qing Dynasty. You must have also realized that the Aisin Gioro family is not a good master; they want too much and interfere too much.”

For a moment, poor Jiang Qingyun didn't know how to respond, and could only look at this peer with sincere eyes.

Abu Nai: "The Han military lords and local powerful clans all yearn for our Great Yuan. From now on, you will serve me. On the day the Great Yuan is restored, you will be enfeoffed as the Prince of Lu, and the entire Shandong will be your territory."

Jiang Qingyun bowed his head, clasped his hands, and uttered a classic line: "The Yuan Dynasty far surpasses the Qing Dynasty." Hahahaha~
Abu Nai laughed wildly.

"Good sir, Shandong is yours now."

……

Forbidden City, Meridian Gate.

The atmosphere was tense, with guards standing in rows and the palace gates tightly shut.

Abunai Lema.

"I wish to see the Emperor."

"Martial law has been declared in the capital. May I ask what business Your Highness has with us?"

"This concerns the safety of the capital and the palace. Let me into the palace immediately, or it will be too late."

Half an hour later~
A long ladder was lowered down.

"Your Highness, climb up here by yourself."

Abu Nai swiftly climbed the ladder over the palace wall, then removed his sword and allowed the guards to search him.

Sony: "Your Highness, I pay my respects."

"Lord Suo, please lead the way quickly, it's extremely urgent and cannot be delayed."

"Your Highness, may I reveal a little something?"

"We must report to the Emperor in person."

"Your Majesty, please."

Along the way, Abu Nai noticed that the imperial guards, who usually wore yellow jackets, had all changed their uniforms. They were now riding fine horses, carrying long spears, and clad in heavy armor, creating a tense atmosphere.

The Qing Dynasty was unpopular.

……

Emperor Shunzhi's face was very dark; he simply could not accept the news that Jiang Qingyun, this loyal minister, had betrayed him and acted like Sima Zhao.

"Abu Nai, what do you want?"

"Your Majesty, I have a report to make against someone."

"Who?"

"Queen Mother."

"You are brave!"

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is plotting a rebellion. While in Cining Palace, she used 500,000 mu of grassland and the positions of three ministers to lure the young prince into submission."

Abu Nai's booming voice echoed throughout the hall.

Shunzhi's head was buzzing, Sony wasn't much better off, and Wu Liangfu was even more devastated, realizing that he was in more trouble than anyone else.

Shunzhi quickly sat down, unable to stand steadily. He hadn't slept a wink since last night and was truly exhausted.

A loyal minister is plotting a rebellion!
Mom's plotting a rebellion too!

Am I some kind of tyrannical and incompetent ruler?

Emperor Shunzhi waved his hand.

“Abu Nai, please continue.”

“Your Majesty, the descendants of the Golden Family are only willing to submit to the noblest and most valiant conquerors in the world, the Aisin Gioro Borjigit clan. They are unworthy!”

"Abu Nai, you say the Empress Dowager is planning a rebellion, do you have any evidence?"

"I am the witness."

Abu Nai answered with confidence and clear pronunciation, as if every word he uttered was the most complete evidence in the world.

It must be said that this is also a kind of confidence.

"Your Majesty, you don't distrust me, Abu Nai, do you?"

"No, no, I'm a bit confused right now."

“Your Majesty, things are not chaotic at all. The Empress Dowager wants to make Bomubogor the new emperor. Bomubogor is young and easy to control.”

Emperor Shunzhi's pupils were trembling.

Abu Nai's voice was as loud as a bell.

The three eunuchs outside the hall listened intently.

……

Sony has spoken.

"Your Highness, this is a matter of great importance and cannot be taken lightly. May I ask, who else did the Empress Dowager instigate, and which troops were involved in the palace coup?"

"How would I know? How could she possibly tell Xiao Wang something like that?"

Sony and Shunzhi exchanged a glance.

Sony: "Your Highness, but the Empress Dowager said that Jiang Qingyun killed the bannermen and sealed off the capital. He is the one who is preparing to rebel."
