Chapter 825: Rebellion
So, led by Li Chengji, a large number of ministers gathered in the Li Mansion. Akari said that it was a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Inside, he was discussing whether Lin Ran had royal blood.
The night wind gusted, blowing the flowers withered. Moonlight sparsely fell from among the leaves. The air is filled with a strong smell of alcohol.
Li Chengji raised his glass and said: "I invite everyone here today to hope that everyone will make a statement, Lin Ran is not a prince, and Lin Zhongchao and Lin Ce should not inherit the unification." Then Lin Zhongchao should not be the emperor, and Lin Ce should not be the emperor. When they heard this, they were astonished.
But there are also a few bold people who stood up and said: "What Brother Li said is extremely true. Since it is not an orthodox bloodline, how can they be emperors? I think that Emperor Taizu fought bloodily at the beginning, and it was not easy to open the country. How can a foreign surname be the ruler? Isn't this a plot to usurp the throne? ”
When they said this, the crowd said yes.
Seeing that the limelight gradually turned to what he wanted to see, Li Chengji smiled and said: "Actually, it doesn't mean that there must be no orthodox bloodline. Do you remember Lin Junsheng? ”
"Lin Junsheng? Are you talking about the previous Ten Princes, Lin Junsheng? The ministers asked.
"It's him." Lee Sung-gi nodded.
"Isn't Lin Junsheng already wanted? He killed so many people and did so many bad things. At least everything Lin Ran does is still what the people want. "Some ministers pointed it out.
"At the beginning, the first emperor valued the ten princes more, but for some reason, the throne was still inherited by Lin Ran in the end. If Lin Ran was a real royal bloodline, it would be fine, but he wasn't! He is a descendant of the Bai family! What is the Bai family? How can the descendants of the untouchable merchants be crowned unified? Li Chengji raised his arms and shouted.
"yes, yes." The views of the ministers gradually converged.
Originally, these people were Lee Sung-gi's friends. Lee Sung-gi invited them just to let them know what he thought. If you want them to agree, it's just Li Chengji's words.
"Then please take the back of the room and speak." Li Chengji's face suddenly became serious.
The lights in the chamber were dim, and with so many people gathered in the room, the air became even more dull.
However, fortunately, Li Chengji has a high emotional intelligence, and in a timely manner, he asked the slaves and maids to hand them all the tea that nourishes their hearts and calms their minds.
Everyone drank tea and talked, and their interest gradually increased.
"Since everyone thinks that the current emperor is not a real bloodline, if I tell everyone that I have found the Ten Princes, will you support him?" Lee Sung-gi said bluntly.
Since these people are already in the secret room, if they don't agree to support Lin Junsheng, they won't be able to get out. In the future, they will not be able to get out of this secret room. They are already like turtles in an urn, they can only agree, there is no other choice, there is no way out. So Lee Sung-gi doesn't want to beat around the bush anymore.
Sure enough, at first the ministers were silent when they heard these words. After all, this is a rebellion.
Don't say whether they want to or not, whether they are capable or not is a question.
But. When Lee Sung-gi invited Lin Junsheng, they all agreed.
Because they know that if they don't agree, what awaits them is to die here tonight.
"You're surprised to see me, aren't you?" Lin Junsheng came out of the screen and talked and laughed.
The ministers present all knew that this was a game, a game jointly laid out by Lee Sung-ji and Lin Junsheng, and they just stepped into it tonight.
"If you help me become the emperor, then I will divide the land of the world with you, and you will become my vassal king." Lin Junsheng impassionedly promised, "How can the descendants of the Bai family inherit the world that the ancestors of the Lin family worked so hard to win?" You are the courtiers of the Lin family, how can you watch the world of the Lin family being taken away by people with foreign surnames? Remember, you eat the imperial food of the Son of Heaven, not the imperial food of a merchant's descendant. ”
said that the ministers had to work hard for Lin Junsheng.
Lin Junsheng was very satisfied, but he was also worried that if they left here, they would regret it.
When the time comes, he will tell the secret in front of Lin Ce, then he will suffer.
So, Lin Junsheng asked them to swear to the sky and make an alliance with blood.
They did the same, because they didn't have the right to choose.
Lee Sung-gi said: "Then we will be in the same boat from now on." Therefore, everyone must unite and fight together against the descendants of the Bai family. ”
"But are our forces against it?" One of the ministers asked.
That's a good question. Strength is very important, if we can't deal with it, but we insist on dealing with it, if we fight hard, we will only invite unnecessary sacrifices. It's not what I want. We want to win, not fight hard. Lin Junsheng said, "Then can we deal with it?" Since I, Lin Junsheng, am the orthodox prince, and all the ministers who are loyal to the first emperor should be loyal to me, not to the foreign surname, may I ask, since everyone is loyal to me, how can they not deal with it? Unless there are traitors in it. In that case, will you who are loyal to me not go and kill these traitors? If all the traitors are killed, how can the world not belong to me and you? ”
These impassioned words finally touched the ministers present. They suddenly felt that, indeed, if they continued to support Lin Ce, they would not be loyal ministers, and they seemed to be not very loyal in the past. But next, they want to be a loyal minister who is only loyal to Lin Junsheng.
And just like that, the ministers agreed. Then they dispersed.
Lee Sung-gi and Lin Junsheng sat under the moon drinking tea.
"Your Majesty, the next step is to unite these ministers and suddenly launch a forced palace." Li Chengji looked proud, as if he had successfully helped Lin Junsheng become emperor.
Lin Junsheng's eyebrows were still wrinkled: "It's not that easy." You forgot, there are also Zhou Jinxuan and Zhou Yuheng, father and son. ”
"Then break them apart." Li Chengji said confidently, "When the time comes, find a minister, lie that there is an urgent matter at home, and use the mercy of Zhou Yuheng's father and son to support them?" ”
"I hope so. However, Zhou Jinxuan's father and son are not vegetarians. If I had been so foolish, I wouldn't have gotten to this point. Lin Junsheng was still worried, "You know, we only have one chance. ”
If they can't succeed, what awaits them is failure and death.
"It will definitely succeed, after all, if there really is no one who can do it, and what about Yeluqi." Lee Sung-gi said, "Yeluqi is resourceful. ”
"The problem is that Yeluqi is unwilling to help us, if we send him, he will only tear down our platform." Lin Junsheng shook his head, "No, you can't send him." I can't set myself on fire. ”
