Chapter 179: Reclaiming the Throne
Chapter 179: Reclaiming the Throne
At the beginning, the scale of the rebellion had not yet formed, and the so-called rebels only demanded that the murderers be held responsible, and that the people involved in the uprising were not to blame for the past, and they did not want to make a big deal about it, but still wanted to reach a compromise with the royal government.
The old king Li Zhengyu did not want to make a big deal out of the matter, so he sent the minister of the Ministry of the Interior as a mediator to mediate, and the minister of the interior agreed to lay down his arms and accept a fair trial after consultation with the rebel soldiers and the local people. The Royal Government will also immediately use the country's strategic reserves to carry out large-scale rescue operations in the disaster areas and relieve the difficult situation in the disaster areas.
Everything was going smoothly, and a storm was over, but just as the Minister of the Interior was about to leave after consultation, a bullet pierced his heart, and the Minister of the Interior died in the car that had started and was about to leave.
Later, a so-called investigation was carried out, and it was proved that the bullet came from the rebels, and it was rumored that the rebel leaders were afraid that the trial would be unfair, and they would be convicted of treason, and not only would they be shot, but even their families would be exiled, so the rebel leaders reversed themselves at the last minute and assassinated the Minister of the Interior.
When Yibin heard the news in the palace, he hurried to the king, wanting to send someone to investigate, and if no one went, he would go himself. Who knew that when he arrived, Li Jianxi and other important ministers were surrounding the king, asking the king to immediately send a large army to suppress it.
As a last resort, the king ordered troops to be sent to encircle and suppress him, and the rebel leaders repeatedly publicly stated that they had nothing to do with the assassination of the Minister of the Interior, and that they were still willing to talk to the government and abide by the agreement reached with the Minister of the Interior, but only aircraft and artillery responded to him.
Although the strength of the rebels was very weak, it was widely supported by the people, especially many middle and lower-level officers responded one after another, and the front-line army of the kingdom began to be chaotic, and the only reliable one was the Royal Forest Army in the royal city, but although the Royal Forest Army was well-equipped and had strong combat effectiveness, it was not many after all, and it was impossible to quell the rebellion.
Just when the rebels were winning and approaching the royal city, Li Jianxi proposed to invite the Dan army to come in to quell the rebellion, and the Shaozhuang faction led by Yibin resolutely opposed it, but Li Jianxi and they insisted repeatedly, and the two sides were deadlocked.
Yibin believes that even if you ask for foreign aid, you will also choose the central country, not the Dan country, the central country sent troops to help Zhuo Guo to quell the rebellion and fight against the Dan country, it has happened many times in history, the central country finally retired successfully, and now invite the Dan country to come, what if the country comes and does not leave.
Li Jianxi vouched for Dan with his life, but Dan only helped Zhuo Guo to quell the rebellion, and evacuated immediately after the rebellion was resolved, and would never stay for a moment. He even asked Yibin for help from someone who had insulted his wife regardless of his face, he was really not a man! And Danguo promised to immediately give Zhuo a large amount of aid, up to half of Zhuo's GDP!
Such favorable conditions made the old king tempted, and finally made up his mind to let the army of the Dan Kingdom come in to quell the rebellion!
No one expected that the first thing the Dan army did when they came to Zhuo was not to quell the rebellion at all, but to take over all the military bases near Wangcheng, and all armies except the Imperial Forest Army must accept the unified command of the Dan General Staff.
The civil strife of Zhuo has not subsided, and it was completely controlled by the Dan State General Capital, and the only one who benefited from it was Lee Kun-hee, who rejected the requirements of the Dan State, and the original prime minister was deprived of the position of prime minister on the grounds of physical discomfort, and Lee Kun-hee was appointed as the prime minister and was in charge of the administrative power of Zhuo Guo.
At this time, the old king woke up like a dream, it turned out that Li Jianxi was eating inside and out, scheming, and colluding with the Dan people to plot this throne!
In fact, Lee Kun-hee's grandfather and the old king's grandfather were brothers, Lee Kun-hee's grandfather was the elder brother, and the old king's grandfather was the younger brother, and according to tradition, the elder brother should inherit the throne, but I don't know why, the throne was inherited by the younger brother. Lee Kun-hee's grandfather also struggled to regain the throne from his younger brother, but at that time, his younger brother's talent and strength were far better than his brother's, he didn't do it, but was caught by his younger brother and almost put to death. However, I was forced to change my surname, and I can't take the surname Liu anymore, change my surname to Li!
But since Lee Kun-hee's grandfather did not give up the plot to regain the throne, since he had a son, he began to educate his children to regain the throne no matter how long it takes, no matter how much it costs, to regain the throne has become their family's immortal ideal, but for three generations in a row, there is no suitable opportunity, they can only endure and keep quiet.
The hibernating poisonous snake will wake up sooner or later, and when it comes to Li Jianxi's generation, he has finally found an opportunity to abolish the king by colluding with the Dan Kingdom and borrowing the hand of the Dan Kingdom!
The old king understood everything, it was too late, he was no longer able to control the whole country, the power was in the hands of Lee Kun-hee, and he, the king, became a puppet.
Along with the army of Dan entered Zhuo Country and the prince of Dan Kingdom, Kato Taka! As the heir to the throne of the future Dan Kingdom, he also needs some capital to convince the public, so this time Kato Takamo recommended himself and came to Zhuo Country as a supervisor.
Zhuo Guo's operation, Dan Guo has been planning for a long time, and with Li Jianxi as the internal response, it can be said that it is foolproof, and Zhuo Guo's army has been stirred up by the rebels.
The military strength of Dan is much stronger than that of Zhuo, so without the resistance of the regular army, it is easy to deal with the rebels, and as a prison army, there will be no danger at all.
Kato Eagle came to Zhuo Kingdom, the boss unceremoniously lived in the palace, in the name of protecting the king, his residence was next to the main hall where the king lived, and the prince's palace was far away, which made Yibin very displeased.
Kato Eagle also often uses various excuses to approach Li Yuji, which does not make Yibin suspicious. Kato Taka came to Zhuo Guo to meet the king, and the old king held a banquet to entertain the prince of Dan, and the royal family members were all invited to participate.
Of course, Prince Yibin, as the crown prince, could not but participate, and at the banquet, Yibin secretly noticed that Kato Ying and Li Yuji were eyebrows, which made him very uncomfortable, and the past came to his heart.
Once the king had something to discuss with Yi Bin, Yi Bin came to the palace, just in time for the front-line fighters to come to report the battle, the old king asked Yi Bin to go back first, waiting for the summons.
Yibin returned to the palace and saw Kato Eagle's car parked at the palace gate from a distance, and Kato got down from inside and entered the palace. Yibin, who has experienced a lot of things, has learned to be patient, and did not rush in, but waited quietly at the door.
When Kato Taka came out of the palace, it had been a full 3 hours, and watching him leave, Yibin drove back to his home, as usual, and did not see anything unusual.
In order to get more evidence, Yibin quietly called the captain of the guard and asked him to install a miniature bugging device and a tracking and positioning device on all of Li Yuji's handbags together with the palace servants.
