Chapter 289: Secretly Prepared, Gentle Knife (I)

Chen Sheng was interested and asked, "How to push the boat along the water?" ”

Shen Luoyan was confident, and said eloquently: "Shenglang, if what I expected is correct, then it won't be long before King Zuo Wu will definitely come to contact you, a 'clearing the clouds and fog and paving the bloody road', intending to take you for his own use." Katsuro, you can agree to come down and get in and join their plan. On the other hand, we should prepare in advance and secretly support another person who is qualified to be the emperor. After King Zuo Wu killed Zhao Gou, we will suddenly attack and kill King Zuo Wu. In this way, the person we support will be able to become the new emperor. That's what it means to go with the flow. ”

Chen Sheng stroked his palms and smiled: "The praying mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind." It's really a good plan. When King Zuo Wu knew that he had worked hard and ended up making wedding clothes for others, his complexion would be wonderful. Well, so who should we support? How do you make this person eligible to be emperor? ”

Shen Luoyan said with a smile: "The successor candidate is ready-made. Zhao Gou, who is impotent, has no sons, and the other sons and grandsons of his father Song Huizong have all been taken captive to the north by the Jurchen Tartars, so on the surface, it seems that only the son of King Zuowu, Marquis Anzhen, can inherit the throne. Because in terms of blood, he is the closest person to Zhao Gou. However, this is only limited to the Tai lineage. ”

Chen Sheng was reminded all of a sudden. He nodded, "I see, that's right." In that year, Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, died of 'candle sound and axe shadow', and Zhao Guangyi's younger brother inherited his brother's business and ascended the throne, called Song Taizong. After that, the throne of the Song Dynasty has always been inherited in the line of Taizong. However, although the people of the Taizu family were neglected, they also avoided the chaos during the Jingkang Revolution and survived many people. These descendants of Taizu can inherit the throne. ”

Shen Luoyan said with a smile: "Shenglang can understand it at a point." Actually, it's not a clever idea, but it's just a plagiarism of history. Historically, Zhao Gou selected two children from the descendants of the Taizu line, one Zhao Ying and the other Zhao Zhuo, and then raised them in the palace as princes. In the end, Zhao Gou chose Zhao Ying as his heir, which was Song Xiaozong in later history. However, to raise the descendants of Taizu, in history, it happened after Marshal Yue was killed in the Fengbo Pavilion. Now we can advance this matter and let Zhao Gou's soft bones get out of the way early. ”

Chen Sheng said with a smile: "Because of this, on the surface, it seems that Marquis An Zhen will be the only candidate to inherit the throne, but in fact, Marquis An Zhen will not even have the slightest hope of ascending the throne." King Zuowu may have known that his son was about to miss the throne, so he made a decisive move, intending to rebel and seize the throne. Then again. Plagiarizing history is much more clever than plagiarizing poetry and the like. So, Luo Yanyu, do you think we should continue to support Zhao Jin, or change it to support Zhao Zhuo? ”

The beauty military advisor relaxed and said, "Zhao Ming, this kid, has not done a bad job in history, and he is known as the rule of Qianchun." We don't have to bother with substitutions. But Katsuro, just a few of us, we can't talk about who to support to be the emperor. ”

"I understand. In order to depose the emperor, it is necessary to have a minister in the court as the presiding officer. Moreover, this minister must be highly respected and have an unshakable position in the eyes of the rest of the court, so that he can speak with weight. ”

Chen Sheng paused and sneered: "So Mr. Zhuge was the first to be squeezed out." Originally, I thought that arranging Mr. Zhuge to sit in Bianliang was Qin Hui's conspiracy. Now it seems that King Zuo Wu has definitely contributed to it. Without Mr. Zhuge and the four famous arrests under his seat, it would be much easier for King Zuo Wu to seek a usurpation of the throne. At the very least, if the four famous arrests are still there, the bloody cases that the thirteen murderers did before will definitely not succeed. ”

Shen Luoyan suddenly said: "Although Mr. Zhuge is upright, he is by no means pedantic. Otherwise, how could he be able to fight with the traitor Cai Jing for so many years in the previous dynasty and still stand, and now he has come to fight with Qin Hui again? In fact, now that the Jin people have almost been disabled, they can't rest well for a year or two, and they have no ability to go south again, let alone attack Bianliang. Therefore, there is no practical need for Mr. Zhuge to stay in Bianliang. We can think of a way to send the news back to Bianliang and let Mr. Zhuge secretly come back to Lin'an and preside over the overall situation. ”

Chen Sheng nodded and said: "If Mr. Zhuge is here, then as an old minister of the three dynasties and the teacher of the Son of Heaven, he is definitely qualified to preside over the canonization of the new emperor." However, just in case, I think we should find another minister of sufficient weight to support the new emperor with Mr. Zhuge together. ”

Shen Luoyan groaned: "It's not easy to ......find a minister with the same prestige as Mr. Zhuge Wait, I remembered. Li Gang, Master Li is not bad. ”

Chen Sheng thought for a while and said, "Li Gang...... I remember. At the time of the Jingkang Revolution, he was appointed by Song Qinzong as the squire of the military department and the right man of Shangshu, responsible for presiding over the defense of Bianliang City against the Jin army. The Jin army was repeatedly frustrated in attack, so it changed to a strategy of luring surrender. Song Qinzong dismissed Li Gang and took the initiative to sue for peace with the Jurchen Tartars. As a result, the Jin soldiers temporarily withdrew from Bianliang and headed north. Song Qinzong demoted Li Gang out of the capital as soon as possible, and added him a charge of 'dictating the war and spending money on the loss of teachers'. ”

Shen Luoyan sighed and said: "After Li Gang was demoted, the Jin soldiers went south again to attack Kaifeng. Song Qinzong temporarily hugged the Buddha's feet, and once again exonerated Li Gang from the charge and reactivated him. But at this time, Li Gang was already in Changsha, where did he have time to go to Kaifeng for emergency? So finally the city of Bianliang was broken, and the father and son of Huizong and Qinzong also became prisoners and were taken back to the north for resettlement. After that, Zhao Gou ascended the throne in Nanjing, and Li Gang was reactivated. He focused on rectifying the military and government and advocated resolute resistance to Jin. Only seventy-five days later, he was deposed again. After that, he was repeatedly denounced. Now they are civilians without official positions or duties. But despite this, his reputation is still unmatched, and he can definitely be equal to Mr. Zhuge . ”

Chen Sheng nodded and said, "Very good, then it's him." So he sent Juque to contact him. Juque has a simple personality and can most impress the hearts of an upright official like Li Gang. With him on the horse, I believe that he will be able to get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Shen Luoyan added: "Shenglang, take out one of your Huanglong Dan and let Juque bring it to Li Gang." I remember that above history, Li Gang died in Shaoxing for ten years, that is, this year. Although the main reason is that anger and illness are the main cause, it is certain that he is not in good shape now. So, just in case, let's give him a Huanglong Dan. At the very least, make sure he survives this year. ”

Chen Sheng thought deeply about this, and immediately took out a small porcelain bottle from his private storage space. Inside is the Huanglong Pill that was refined by the thief Quanzi when he was in the space of the Divine Domain headquarters. Although this elixir still belongs to the elixir of the Qi training period, it is precisely because of this that not only martial arts masters can quickly recover their internal strength and replenish their vitality when they eat it, but even ordinary people can eat it.

The kind of pill in the foundation building period or even the golden pill period has a great effect, but it is by no means something that ordinary people can eat. Chen Sheng, a great master of refining void, can still withstand it, but a martial arts cultivator at the refining and refining qi level will definitely explode and die immediately, without exception.

In addition, the cultivation of the Thief Quanzi has become more and more advanced recently, and it is already approaching the peak of Qi refining, and it is almost possible to eat the Zhuji Dan to advance to the foundation building period. Therefore, his alchemy ability is also rising. What's more, this bad Taoist priest still has Chen Sheng's support in terms of general points.

In this kind of alchemy, the first thing to pay attention to is the medicinal materials, and the second thing to pay attention to is the strength of the alchemist himself. For example, if two ginseng pills are 50 years old and the other is 100 years old, the medicinal power of the former is naturally far inferior to the latter. Of course, the latter is also sold at a much higher price than the former. Therefore, financial support is very important.

Now in the bottle in Chen Sheng's hand, the pills in it are all refined with high-quality medicinal materials, and the effect is directly increased by three percent compared to the Huanglong Pills he brought to the world of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". However, because of this, its medicinal effect is still too domineering for a dying old man like Li Gang. Therefore, it must be mixed with a lot of water and taken slowly for a long time, so that it can be beneficial and harmless.

Leave the matter of contacting Li Gang to Juque, and next, you should contact Mr. Zhuge . This task, Chen Sheng plans to hand over to Bai Qing'er. First of all, Bai Qing'er's strength in refining the Void Sect Master was enough to ensure that she could go back to Bianliang smoothly and contact Mr. Zhuge smoothly. Secondly, the disciples of the Yin Sect are all diplomats who can speak well and are good at vertical and horizontal affairs. Zhu Yuyan, the queen of yin, was like this, and the two disciples who were carefully cultivated by the queen of yin, Wan Wan and Bai Qing'er, were even more so. To persuade Mr. Zhuge to support the abolition of the establishment and quickly rush back to Lin'an from Bianliang, the responsibility is none other than Bai Qing'er.

It doesn't take much effort to get all this in order. Although Yue Fei also asked why Bai Qing'er and Juque suddenly disappeared. But Chen Sheng knew that Marshal Yue would most likely not agree to overthrow Zhao Gou by such drastic means, even if he knew that if he changed someone as the emperor, the Yue family army would be able to show his strength again, and finally get what he wanted and go straight to Huanglong, Marshal Yue would never agree. In order to prevent extraneous branches, Chen Sheng did not inform Marshal Yue of the shocking truth that he was secretly planning to abolish the matter, but only perfunctorily found some clues about the thirteen murderers, so Bai Qing'er and Juque went out to investigate together. Yue Fei was naturally not deceitful, so he did not suspect it.

And so it was, and three days of peace passed. At dusk on the fourth day, a carriage slowly drove into Yong'anli and stopped in front of Yue's Mansion. The curtain of the car was pulled, and a young man who was dressed and looked rich and noble, but had a polite and polite expression. He personally stepped forward and knocked on the knocker.

(Note: Historically, Li Gang actually died in the first month of the tenth year of Shaoxing.) This article is needed for the plot, let him die a year or two later)
