Chapter 978: Emperors are all ruthless characters

The best time to sneak attack is at night, especially after the hour, when people are sleepy and fall asleep.

Li Nam once imagined what he would do if he put himself in the position of Wang Kai, the lord of Goryeo.

Compared to the empire, the Goryeo Kingdom is elephants and ants, so Wang Kai and the ministers and people of Goryeo will not be stupid enough to go to war against the empire, and they would rather live like this if they can bear it.

But now that the Jin Kingdom and the Empire are in a big war, if the Empire destroys the Jin Kingdom after winning and becomes the most powerful country in this land, then there is no need for Goryeo to exist, so Wang Kai must do something.

Wang Kai and the other Goryeo people did not want the empire to win, so the first thing he had to do was to inform the Jin people to prevent the empire's troops and horses from attacking from northern Goryeo, and only by doing so could he contain the offensive of the imperial army and keep the two powers in a balanced situation.

In addition, there is an even more dangerous and effective way, and that is to kill the Emperor Li Nan.

In fact, when the proposal of the lord Wang Kai was discussed in the Qiande Palace, it was opposed by the Goryeo ministers who were still loyal to Wang Kai.

Killing the Emperor Li Nan can indeed leave the empire leaderless, and the empire will also be in turmoil due to civil strife, and give up attacks on the surrounding countries, but this does not include Goryeo.

As long as the emperor Li Nan had an accident in Goryeo, whether it was the hands of the Goryeo people or not, the empire would launch the most brutal revenge against Goryeo, and with the army of Goryeo, there was no power to resist.

In the face of the opposition of many ministers, Wang Kai had different opinions.

Ever since the empire sent troops to help the Korean prince Li Ziqian, elevated most of the rights of the lord Wang Kai, and regarded Goryeo as the empire's backyard, Wang Kai hated the empire to the core.

Of course, there is also a large part of this personal hatred, after all, Li Nan once openly befriended his two favorite concubines in front of Wang Kai, although in order to survive, Wang Kai can only pretend to be drunk and pretend not to know, but this kind of thing can't be endured as long as it is a man.

It was because of these hatreds that Wang Kai had already secretly sent his courtiers Zheng Yingwen and Li Hou to envoy to the Jin Dynasty, and was willing to assist the Jin State in defeating the empire.

This time can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the emperor Li Nan only brought a thousand imperial forest troops into the city, and the imperial palace where he stayed was also built by Wang Kai, which naturally hid a lot of secret passages.

What Wang Kai said was right, but at the thought of leading people to attack and kill the emperor, the ministers were still frightened and unwilling to obey orders.

Seeing these courtiers like this, Wang Kai had no choice but to persuade: "Don't worry, as long as we can kill Li Nan, then the Jin State will naturally send troops to resist the imperial army, and Emperor Jin Xizong of the Jin State has also promised that the empire will give me a share of Goryeo at that time." ”

Wang Kai really wanted to kill Li Nan, but the ministers present didn't think so.

For them, whether the lord of the country is in control of Wang Kai or the empire, the difference is not very big, as long as they can keep the glory and wealth of their family, the most important thing is to do so.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the Goryeo Kingdom is destroyed by the empire, everyone becomes the subjects of the empire, and when the empire needs to govern Goryeo, these Goryeo officials will have a chance to be reused.

Therefore, a white-bearded old man said: "Even if we really risk our lives to kill the Imperial Emperor Li Nan, then when the Jin State sends troops to resist the imperial army, won't we also take the opportunity to control Goryeo, and when the time comes, it will be similar to the current situation, so why should we risk the destruction of the entire clan to do this?" ”

Wang Kai looked at the person who spoke and found that it was the patriarch of the Anshan Kim clan in Goryeo.

There are several famous families in Goryeo, in addition to the Gyeongwon Lee family in the line of Lee Ziqian, there are also the Haeju Choi family, the Gyeongju Kim family, the Cheongju Wang family, the Jeongju Yoo family, and the Kim family in Ansan.

Seeing this old fox of the Jin family talking, and it seemed that the people of the other families seemed to think the same way, Renzong Wang Kai was furious in his heart, but he could only suppress his anger.

If you want to be loyal to the monarch and love the country, you must not be able to convince these old guys to help you, so Wang Kai said: "After the founding of Goryeo, the descendants of these prominent families here have helped the royal family govern the country in all dynasties, but now, what are you left of?" ”

Hearing this, the people of the major families present were silent, but a slight anger had already appeared on their faces.

Wang Kai noticed everyone's expressions, and said while the iron was hot: "The Qingyuan Li family was originally the same as your family, but since Li Ziqian defected to the empire, he not only emptied me, the lord of the country, but also drove each of your families out of the center of power. ”

"Right now, the Qingyuan Li family is dominant, I, the lord of the country, can only be a puppet, and your major families have also turned from prosperity to decline, don't you want to change all this?"

These words really hit the hearts of the courtiers of all the families present.

After Li Ziqian defected to the empire, his power ambitions also swelled day by day, not only driving the courtiers of other families out of the center of power and controlling most of the government, but also forming parties for personal gain, selling official positions, and most of the people in his family were corrupt and perverted the law, and did all kinds of evil.

Thinking that if this continued, one day the family that would be persecuted by the Qingyuan Li family would fall, and everyone also had the intention of swaying.

And at this moment, Wang Kai finally came up with his killer idea.

Wang Kai looked around at the ministers and said: "Tonight, this king has decided to personally lead his troops and use the secret passage to attack Li Nan, and it is naturally best for you to go with you, and if you don't want to go, you can leave now." ”

"Huh?" Everyone was very surprised when they heard Wang Kai's words.

You must know that if this kind of conspiracy to assassinate the emperor leaks out, it will be a great disaster, even if he is the lord of Goryeo, it will be a dead end, so everyone doesn't understand, why is Wang Kai so tolerant?

"Of course!" Wang Kai saw everyone's expressions and said proudly: "Everyone has been talking with me for a long time tonight, I'm afraid this matter will spread in the future, and what will happen at that time is a little unpredictable." ”

"I****!" At this time, the Goryeo courtiers present were all scolding in their hearts.

Wang Kai's trick is too yin!

He secretly summoned everyone tonight to discuss the assassination, and then led his troops to assassinate the emperor. If this succeeds, it's fine, but if it fails and the matter spreads, then everyone present will not be able to clear this charge, and presumably the empire will not listen to their justification, this is a dead end!

There was an unusually heavy atmosphere in the main hall at this time, and after half a ring, the old patriarch of the Ansan Jin clan spoke: "The Jin clan still has eight hundred elite soldiers in Kaesong!" ”

With the first person taking the lead, others have also taken a stand.

"We, Haizhou Cui's family, are willing to give out five hundred people!"

"Gyeongju Kim, five hundred!"

"Qingzhou Wang's four hundred!"

"Zhenzhou Liu's ......"
