Chapter 97: Rebellion
Chapter 97: Rebellion
In the evening, Meng Renyi came to Li Zhongyi and asked him to help contact Mrs. Zhao to deal with the powerful minister Zhang Ye together.
To put it bluntly, Li Zhongyi resolutely opposed Meng Renyi helping Meng Chang unite with the Zhao family and defeat the powerful minister Zhang Ye.
According to Li Zhongyi's own observations, although Meng Chang is incompetent in governing the country and has no way to strengthen the army, he is a master in grasping power.
At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, Meng Chang was basically an empty emperor, except for Zhang Tinggui, who was loyal to him, and when he looked up, almost all the people in the court were people with different surnames.
After the last defeat, after Shu lost the northern states of Qin and Feng, Meng Chang, Zhao Tingyin and Zhang Ye expanded their armies at the same time, and the proportion was basically the same.
Now, Meng Chang's strength, if you add the Zhao family's Xiaorui army, is roughly similar to the military power in Zhang Ye's hands.
In Li Zhongyi's view, the current situation in Shu is actually a very balanced triangular relationship, and the three parties are helpless against each other.
If Zhang Ye is defeated now, Meng Chang's strength will definitely be dominant. Next, Meng Chang will definitely cook the rabbit and the dog, first take out Zhao Tingyin's military power, and then let Meng Renyi go home to be a rich idle king.
This is the worst scene that Li Zhongyi wants to see.
To put it bluntly, Li Zhongyi and Zhao Kuangyin went online, but in the end, there was really no way out, and they just left a way back.
In Li Zhongyi's view, the ideal situation is to pull Meng Chang off the horse and support Meng Renyi to become the emperor. Then, the entire Shu Kingdom exerted its national strength to support Li Zhongyi to create an elite army of 50,000 people.
Today's Li Zhongyi is no longer the original military rookie. If he had trained in the army for a few more years, Li Zhongyi would have reason to believe that it would definitely not be an unattainable dream to unify the entire Central Plains with this powerful elite force and the Chengdu Plain, which is rich in natural resources.
Some things are still good, Li Zhongyi didn't want to alarm Meng Renyi for the time being, so he arranged for Wang Dahu to contact Mrs. Zhao in private.
Mrs. Zhao listened to Wang Dahu's relay, and immediately said that tomorrow was a day off, and he was going out for an outing.
After getting Wang Dahu's reply, Meng Renyi was very happy, drank a lot of wine, and insisted on squeezing into the same bed with Li Zhongyi that night to talk at night.
Early the next morning, Li Zhongyi's carriage left the city from the north gate, and after a large circle, it turned to the west of the city.
In the Bodhi Temple in the west of the city, Meng Renyi, who had been hiding in Li Zhongyi's car, met the old lady Zhao.
As soon as Mrs. Zhao saw Meng Renyi, she immediately realized that today's meeting was not just a so-called outing.
After Li Zhongyi and Mrs. Zhao exchanged a few words, they briefly introduced Meng Renyi's intentions.
"Old lady, that Zhang Ye is arrogant and domineering, and he can't be a lifetime, and he has to take over the dynasty alone."
After listening to Meng Renyi's impassioned speech, Mrs. Zhao just twisted her beard and was silent, obviously not fully agreeing with Meng Renyi's analysis.
Mrs. Zhao glanced at Li Zhongyi, who had not spoken much, and suddenly asked him with a smile: "Brother Zhen'er, what do you think of this?" β
Li Zhongyi secretly scolded in his heart, you obviously have the answer in your heart, but you want to push me out to accompany you, you are really an old fox.
"What King Kui said is right, if Zhang Ye doesn't get rid of this fang for a day, my country will not be at peace for a day." Li Zhongyi calmly helped Meng Renyi, but was seen by Mrs. Zhao.
Mrs. Zhao thought to herself, with Li Zhongyi's overall view of politics, it is impossible not to know the truth of the cold lips and teeth. Once Zhang Ye falls, it will definitely be his Zhao family who will be unlucky.
"Brother Zhen, Zhang Ye's momentum is not small, and he has heavy troops stationed in Beijing. If we are a little careless, we will not succeed in fighting the tiger, but we will be bitten by the tiger. Old lady Zhao let out a tentative hand, wanting to find out Li Zhongyi's true thoughts.
"Capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as you find an opportunity to take down Zhang Ye himself first, nothing else is to worry about." Li Zhongyi used his Tai Chi push hand and quietly blocked the temptation of Mrs. Zhao.
With a little slippery head, Mrs. Zhao glanced at Li Zhongyi, who was there, and said lightly: "Although Zhang Ye is in the political hall every day, his sons have always stayed in the army. According to the old man's speculation, Zhang Ye must have made an appointment with his sons to contact him privately, and if something happens, I am afraid that the entire Jingshi will suffer a catastrophe. β
This is indeed a big problem, Meng Renyi frowned, and fell into deep thought.
Li Zhongyi obviously saw the eyes of Mrs. Zhao's secret envoy, but pretended not to see it, but instead picked up the teacup and lowered his head to drink tea.
Mrs. Zhao understood that Li Zhongyi did not understand the overall situation at all, but was forced by Meng Renyi.
To be honest, in the heart of Mrs. Zhao, she is very jealous of Li Zhongyi.
A young man who can regain his life from the Jedi and make miraculous achievements on the battlefield with his own strength alone cannot be overestimated.
Old Lady Zhao looked at Meng Renyi carefully, remembered his previous absurd deeds, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart.
The first emperor had a total of seven sons, except for the two who died young, the remaining five sons, all of whom loved to eat, drink and have fun, including the one in front of him, none of them had the atmosphere of a hero.
Old lady Zhao glanced at Li Zhongyi, who was pretending to bow his head and ponder, and thought of the close relationship between Li Zhongyi and Meng Renyi, and he roughly understood in his heart.
I'm afraid this kid wants to put Meng Renyi on the throne, right?
In the eyes of Mrs. Zhao, compared with the dim-witted Meng Chang, Meng Renyi, who has always been benevolent, righteous and affectionate, is not only ruthless and not black-hearted, but also very naΓ―ve, and obviously not a good material for being an emperor.
The matter is obvious, Zhang Ye is finished, their Zhao family has collapsed, with Meng Chang's character of liking to seize power, will he still be next to the couch, leaving a younger brother with a heavy soldier in his hand?
However, with Li Zhongyi, the demon by Meng Renyi's side, Mrs. Zhao felt that after overthrowing Zhang Ye and Meng Chang, the power of the Zhao family did not dare to expand, and the opportunity to maintain the status quo was actually quite large.
After all, the relationship between Mrs. Zhao and Li Zhongyi is also extraordinary. Mrs. Zhao is not only Li Zhongyi's crowner, but also his nobleman who gave words and numbers.
It's just that Li Zhongyi's current attitude seems to be very supportive of Meng Chang, but in fact it is ambiguous. In this way, Mrs. Zhao was a little unable to understand Li Zhongyi's true thoughts.
coincided with Mrs. Zhao's thoughts, and Li Zhongyi had already calculated how to solve the problem of Zhang Ye and Meng Chang.
At present, it is neither Meng Chang nor Zhang Ye who is blocking Li Zhongyi's pace, but Meng Renyi, a stupid boy who has always been loyal to Meng Chang.
The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is in a hurry, which is the most fatal problem that Li Zhongyi feels a headache.
Zhao Kuangyin carried out the Chenqiao Mutiny, which was premeditated by himself, and he urgently wanted to usurp Zhou and establish himself as emperor.
Meng Renyi, the client, had no idea of replacing Meng Chang at all, Li Zhongyi felt that it was really fucking painful.
Old lady Zhao made up her mind, and if she didn't find out Li Zhongyi's true attitude, she would definitely not show her attitude to Meng Renyi.
"Old lady, can you do this, your majesty will mobilize the guards in the palace to capture Zhang Ye, and you and Prince Kui will each lead the men and horses of the headquarters to attack the military camp of Zhang Ye's sons?" In order to paralyze the "silly boy" Meng Renyi, Li Zhongyi deliberately proposed a seemingly very reasonable proposal.
Meng Renyi pondered Li Zhongyi's opinion carefully, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he stared at Old Lady Zhao's face very nervously.
In the face of a thousand-year-old fox like Mrs. Zhao, who has become a fine man, with Meng Renyi's lobbying ability, he naturally lost the battle and returned in vain.
"Alas, it would be nice if Zhang Ye only had two sons." Old lady Zhao listened to Li Zhongyi's "bad idea", and the more she understood in her heart, this kid must have other plans.
Meng Renyi realized that Zhang Ye's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were commanded by his three sons, and the positions of the military camps they were stationed in were at odds with each other.
Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Zhao family and the Meng family were mobilized in the city, and it was obviously impossible not to alarm the Zhang family, who had always been very vigilant.
Once the sneak attack fails, or the attack is blocked, the coalition forces of the Meng and Zhao families are very likely to be attacked by the enemy, but they are dumplings by the Zhang family.
In order to hide people's eyes, Meng Renyi took advantage of the fact that there was no one around him and hid in Li Zhongyi's carriage in advance.
Old lady Zhao hurriedly seized the opportunity and asked Li Zhongyi: "Brother Zhen, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?" β
Li Zhongyi deliberately sighed and said, "The risk of recklessness is too great, we must think long-term." β
"Hmph, aren't you afraid that Ting Yin will go to the side of the Zhang family?" Old lady Zhao and Li Zhongyi were used to scheming, and they had the heart to tease this extremely cunning boy.
"Hehe, Zhang Ye is the emperor, and the Zhao family is about to fall." Li Zhongyi talked and laughed, and easily broke the false words and intimidation of Mrs. Zhao.
Li Zhongyi knew that Old Lady Zhao was a little dissatisfied with him in his heart, but he couldn't sue Old Lady Zhao, Meng Renyi actually didn't want to be the emperor, so he had to make this decision.
Seeing that Li Zhongyi had broken the key point, Mrs. Zhao didn't bother to continue playing hide and seek with him, so she asked bluntly: "What are you going to do?" β
"What do you think of King Kui?" Li Zhongyi also wanted to know the true opinion of Mrs. Zhao about Meng Renyi.
"It's very good to make a friend of King Kui." Old lady Zhao knew that Li Zhongyi must be able to understand his voice, this smart person fought each other, and there was no need to speak at all, and each other could understand what the other meant.
The Zhao family really didn't think about Meng Renyi, and Li Zhongyi knew that it was this answer, but he still had some regrets in his heart.
"If King Kui can achieve a great cause, he will not forget the kindness of the Zhao family." The meaning of Li Zhongyi's words has been picked very clearly, and he hopes that the old lady Zhao will support Meng Renyi as the emperor.
Over the years, Mrs. Zhao was most worried that there would be no one in the Zhao family, and she would not be able to support the huge family business.
"Hehe, the old man and the whole family have always regarded Brother Zhen as their own family." Old lady Zhao was obviously telling Li Zhongyi that their old Zhao family could trust him.
Li Zhongyi heard the unfinished meaning implied in Mrs. Zhao's words, and he immediately said seriously: "What do you think of the court? β
The opinions of the Zhao family may not be unanimous, at least, Zhao Tingyin is not completely obedient to the arrangement of the old lady Zhao, he has his wings sealed, and often has his own opinions.
Old Mrs. Zhao smiled confidently and said, "When it comes to the major event of the overthrow of the family, you can rest assured on Tingyin's side." β
Li Zhongyi is so shrewd, as soon as he heard this, he knew that the real power of the Zhao family's final decision was still in the hands of Mrs. Zhao.
After reaching a consensus with Mrs. Zhao in private, Li Zhongyi was a little happy in his heart, the attitude of the Zhao family was obviously aimed at him Li Zhongyi, not the Meng family, who held the supreme imperial power.
With the cooperation of the Zhao family, Li Zhongyi drove out Zhang Ye and set aside Meng Chang's plan to be a faint monarch, which added a lot of weight.
Judging from what the old lady Zhao said just now, the Zhao family's requirements are actually very simple, it is okay to keep limited power and wealth, and there is no idea of usurping the throne.
Having said that, the contradictions between Zhang Ye and the Zhao family are deepening, the hatred is intensifying, and the opposites are increasing day by day, and they have become incompatible and incompatible.
This is the fundamental reason why Mrs. Zhao is willing to adopt a cooperative attitude, and no one will gamble casually with the rise and fall of the entire family.
Li Zhongyi had a bottom in his heart, but Meng Renyi was depressed, and on the way back to the city, he kept his mouth closed and didn't say a word.
There was no way, Li Zhongyi could only comfort him, saying a lot of the Zhao family's worries and wanting him to let go.
However, Meng Renyi never got his energy up and looked listless.
