The mission of Wuguo to Anguo is actually a cover for the people to be seen by the high-level of Wuguo.
After all, An Guo offered 100,000 taels of gold to redeem Emperor Wu, if Wu Guo did not agree, it would seem a little deviant, regardless of the emperor's safety.
But at the beginning of the TV series, the thoughts of Emperor Wuguo's younger brother King Danyang, his wife Empress Xiao Yan and the humerus minister Zhang Song were already in front of them, and they didn't want Emperor Wuguo to come back.
Oddly enough, the means they took were somewhat weak.
King Danyang only sent Zheng Qingyun and a bunch of bandits to kidnap Yang Ying and rob the gold, and after the plan failed, he didn't even arrange a backhand.
Empress Xiao only arranged for Yang Ying to pretend to be King Li, hoping that Yang Ying could mess up the redemption of Emperor Wu.
And Zhang Song sent Ning Yuanzhou and other people from the Liudaotang to escort the mission and take the edict appointing auxiliary ministers from Emperor Wu, but he didn't think about it, if Emperor Wu returned to the country unharmed, how would Zhang Song deal with himself?
With the power of King Danyang and Empress Xiao, they must be able to find out that Zhang Song asked Ning Yuanzhou and others to escort the mission, and he could also predict that Emperor Wu might return to China.
Can they let it go, wait for Emperor Wu to return to China, and overturn their wishful thinking?
Since they can stand at the top of the Wu Kingdom, they will never do anything that they are not sure of, and since they are determined to seize the throne, they will never give Emperor Wu a chance to survive.
Therefore, it is very likely that they will arrange an inner ghost in the mission, so that this inner ghost will participate in the rescue of Emperor Wu throughout the process.
In case Emperor Wu is really rescued from Anguo, this inner ghost will take action to kill Emperor Wu.
So, who is the inner ghost?
This person needs to have strong enough martial arts to live until the day when Emperor Wu is successfully rescued.
He also needed to gain Ning Yuanzhou's trust before he could participate in the whole process of rescuing Emperor Wu.
What's more, this person must have a blood feud with Emperor Wu, so that he can have enough motivation to kill Emperor Wu, not just to complete the task given to him by King Danyang or Empress Xiao.
Counting the people with surnames in the mission, Du Changshi and Yang Ying are definitely not, they are the ones who really want Emperor Wu to return to China.
Neither are Ning Yuanzhou, Yuan Lu, Yu Thirteen, and Sun Lang of Liudaotang, although they hate Emperor Wu's improper command and gave the lives of the soldiers and colleagues of Liudaotang in vain, but they did not hate to the point of killing Emperor Wu, they just wanted to return the innocence of their colleagues.
The only possibility is Qian Zhao.
His younger brother Chai Ming was ordered to protect Emperor Wu in the Battle of Wu'an, but unfortunately died in battle.
During the days when Chai Ming went on the expedition, he would write letters to his brother Qian Zhao every day, reporting the situation on the battlefield, and also mentioning Emperor Wu's erroneous command, which made his brothers die more and more.
learned that Chai Ming died in battle and was also saddled with a reputation for treason, and the person who hurt the most was Qian Zhao.
Before the mission departed, there was a clip in the play where Empress Xiao talked to Qian Zhao alone.
On the surface, Empress Xiao invited Qian Zhao to inspect the paintings, but in fact, what did they talk about?
In the script, after rescuing Emperor Wu, Ning Yuanzhou returned to Anguo to find Ren Ruyi and Yang Ying, while Qian Zhao made an amazing move.
On the surface, he pretended to be the most loyal courtier, and protected Emperor Wu in the carriage.
When the carriage drove near the battlefield where Chai Ming died, Qian Zhao claimed that Emperor Wu wanted to go to a high place to see the scenery, and took Emperor Wu and walked up to the high platform on the mountain alone.
The mountain was high and the wind was cold, and Emperor Wu was shivering from the cold, and he wanted to go back quickly, but when he turned around, he found Qian Zhao holding the hilt of his sword tightly, his face full of hatred.
Qian Zhao forced Emperor Wu to repent of the place where Chai Ming and others died, and then planned to kill Emperor Wu and then commit suicide.
It's a pity that Yu 13 and others arrived and saved Emperor Wu, while Qian Zhao fell off the cliff.
Fortunately, Qian Zhao had already untied the knot, he saw Emperor Wu's sincere repentance, and saw that Emperor Wu didn't care about killing him before, and took the initiative to reach out to pull Qian Zhao up, understanding that Emperor Wu's nature is not bad, and he can be a good emperor in the future.
Therefore, Qian Zhaocai took the initiative to let go of Yu Shisan's injured hand and chose to tie himself up.
It was Qian Zhao's move that made Emperor Wu repent.
Emperor Wu learned to treat everyone as equals, and began to cherish the lives of his courtiers and people, so that he could sacrifice his life to defend the city when the Beipan people invaded.
From this point of view, Qian Zhao indirectly saved hundreds of people, but he still doesn't want him to die! I hope the plot of the TV series will change.
