Chapter 541: Catch them all
King Li agreed to help Qin Ming sweep away those forces under the banner of anti-Chu Fuli, because these forces just wanted to form forces in the troubled times, find a reason, and strengthen themselves.
Therefore, King Lili also felt that they should be eliminated, because they were just moths.
When the country is in trouble, they will not stand up, the country will perish, and they will devour their own interests under the banner of recovering the country.
In the end, this kind of person only harms ordinary people.
After agreeing to cooperate, Qin Ming said his plan.
In troubled times, when forming forces, many times they like to find a reason.
It's like during the Three Kingdoms period, the forces of all sides were formed in a proper way.
Even Liu Bei wants to do something, and he also has the name of being the royal uncle.
It can be seen that doing things in the name of the top is the most important thing, and it is also very logical.
Therefore, Qin Ming's plan is to give them a chance to have a name.
This opportunity is the former Emperor of Liguo, the current King of Li.
According to Qin Ming's meaning, it was to let King Li spread the news and invite the so-called loyal people who were involved in the matter, and ask them to meet privately to discuss the restoration of the country.
Anyone who is really ambitious to do things will not let go of this opportunity to be famous.
If there is a discussion with the emperor of the former dynasty of Liguo, then when they go out to do things, they will even more justifiably say that they are against Chu Fuli, this is more right?
Although it may not attract all the people who do things, it can always attract some of them.
When the time comes, all these forces will be gathered together and wiped out, and many problems will be solved.
The main reason is that although these forces cannot threaten the rule of the Chu State, it is not a way to make some trouble.
After Qin Ming's plan was explained to King Li, although King Li was still entangled, he still agreed.
The reason for the entanglement is that he is not sure whether those people really want to return to the country.
What if someone is sincere?
However, whether he is sincere or not, it is not good for the people, so he has to follow Qin Ming's plan.
So, after King Li returned, he found some former ministers and asked them to help spread the news, saying that he wanted to meet those loyal people who wanted to oppose Chu Fuli, and had important matters to discuss with them.
These words seemed to have some secret plan, which made many old ministers think, is their majesty going to turn the tables?
This news spread rapidly in the shadows, and many rebel forces in the west knew about it.
A week later, the leaders of these rebel forces all planned to secretly meet King Li in a restaurant in Yingtianfu.
The whole news was blocked very strictly, and basically no one knew about it, but Qin Ming was clear.
In the afternoon of the same day, King Li told Qin Ming about this, and Qin Ming smiled when he heard it, and asked:
"How many people are going to see you?"
King Li said: "They are all some power leaders, about dozens of people, including the heads of several families, the patriarchs of some famous families, and some so-called warlords who have attracted hundreds or thousands of soldiers, and some gate lords formed by big officials......"
As soon as he heard this, Qin Ming smiled, sure enough, they were some guys who only appeared in troubled times, and the warlord was a model.
"Tonight, let's catch all these people first, and as for the rest, sweep them away slowly." Qin Ming said.
King Li didn't speak, Qin Ming smiled when he saw this: "Don't expect them to really want to restore the country, these people are just for themselves." ”
King Li was silent for a long time and said, "Perhaps, this may really be an opportunity for me?" ”
"Opportunity? Do you think these people can help you get the kingdom back? If it was that easy, it wouldn't have been lost in the first place. Qin Ming's words were mockery.
But it was also a slap in the face, which made King Liwang sober up.
Yes, at the beginning, hundreds of thousands of troops couldn't stop the attack of Chu State, and now they still want to rely on these people who are doing things in troubled times to turn the tables? No way!
Thinking of this, King Li sighed and stopped talking.
Time passed quickly, and in the evening, King Li quietly went out of the palace, dressed in black, and after meeting with a few old ministers, he went to a restaurant.
In the dead of night, forty or fifty people gathered in the restaurant.
Here, some people have high status and are the heads of families, and some people are just so-called loyal people who have formed a force of hundreds of people in troubled times.
Of course, although there are many small leaders, in such troubled times, as long as more people are co-opted, it is not too much of a problem to become a gate valve family in the future.
Many family lords, as well as some warlords and princes, have dozens or hundreds of people at the beginning, and they have slowly grown.
And today, in the eyes of these people, it is their opportunity to continue to grow.
Because as long as they talk to the emperor of the previous dynasty, they can use the banner of helping the emperor restore the country with great fanfare, so that it is easier and more convenient to expand their power.
It doesn't matter whether they will return to the country or not, the important thing is that their future power will make them live a very comfortable life.
That's why they're here.
Around the restaurant, there are some secret people who are sentry.
When King Liwang came, he was immediately invited in.
As soon as he entered the restaurant, many power leaders surrounded him and greeted King Li.
King Li's expression was not very natural, but he still answered them one by one, and then everyone sat down.
Then, the patriarch of a family arched his hand: "Your Majesty, I am waiting for this gathering for only one purpose, to restore the country for Your Majesty!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Chu State is too deceitful, my Liguo must not compromise so much, now, I have secretly developed my power, once the power is expanded, I will help Your Majesty, regain the country, support Your Majesty, and then ascend to the throne!"
A man with a thousand men under his hand spoke.
Next, many people spoke one after another, and they all said that it sounded good, and they all seemed to be loyal and courageous.
However, the more he listened, the more King Li didn't believe it.
It's a simple truth, everyone here has grown stronger, will they really help him take back the country?
Even if it is taken back, will they be willing to let King Li continue to be the emperor?
King Li sneered in his heart, it seems that his initial expectation of being together is really ridiculous.
At the same time, he thinks that these people really think that he is young and easy to deceive?
Therefore, after listening to everyone's words, he said lightly: "Everyone, let me ask you, you must tell the truth. ”
"Your Majesty, please speak!" The head of a family spoke.
They were desperate to get the verbal promise of King Li, so that they could go out and say that it was for Liguo and to do things for Emperor Liguo.
King Liwang thought for a while and said, "I want to know, since you are so loyal, why didn't you stand up when my Liguo was in crisis, why did Liguo disappear, but in the name of Liguo, you formed a force?" ”
This is simply a soul question, the voice fell, and dozens of people in the audience were stunned for an instant, and no one could answer him.
In the quiet restaurant, no one spoke.
After a long time, Qin Ming's body came out and said lightly:
"I said you shouldn't have hoped!"
