On the second day of the Lantern Festival, the princess began her third test: usurpation!

Zhang Xuanming was so frightened when he heard that he was almost unconscious. Li Han is old turtle had already guessed a little earlier, although he was still shocked, but he was somewhat mentally prepared. And Ouyang just sighed, as the princess said, he can only hope that the princess will succeed in usurping the throne now, otherwise Song Huizong will not let him go, and he can only run away.

Li Han cleared his throat and said: "Usurpation of the throne, one is a civil usurpation, and the other is a military usurpation." Wen usurped the throne by forcing him to abdicate, Wu Zetian usurped the throne, the emperor was seriously ill, and slowly installed cronies among the ministers, and finally took power. The disadvantage is that the prince surnamed Li in the world is not satisfied, and the division is famous for conquest and rebellion......"

Li Han probably means that there are few courtiers who will support the princess, and most of them are powerless and powerless people, and the princess herself is not very old, she is a woman, and her prestige is very low. There is basically no contact with the ministers of the imperial court, and if you want to abdicate the throne, there will be many branches, and the success rate is not large. Wu Usurpation also had trouble, he didn't think it was difficult to usurp the throne, after all, Song Huizong's virtue had a lot to take advantage of. The trouble he said was with the Western Army. Tong Guan was a favorite of Song Huizong and was about to be crowned king. He is now in the Western Army as a leader in the Privy Council and a supervisor of the army, because the Western Army has no strong generals for the time being, Tong Guan, a eunuch who has fought for more than ten years, is a bit handsome. This person is very bold, and the middle and upper officers will get his benefits from time to time, and once he leads the Western Army to King Qin, it will be a big trouble.

Trouble one, the Western Army is the most courageous army in the Great Song Dynasty, with a perennial establishment of 300,000, and some of the main forces are even four people with one horse. Even if the princess surrenders to the 100,000 forbidden army in Tokyo, I'm afraid she won't be able to withstand it. Trouble two, even if Tokyo withstands and the Western Army is evacuated, the Liao Army will inevitably go south with all its might, and it is not impossible to directly hit the Beijing Division.

Therefore, Li Han believes that the current time is not ripe for usurpation.

Li Han's words made Ouyang and the princess feel cold. Ouyang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he was too tender about usurping. When the princess heard Li Han's words, she also felt that she was too naïve.

But Li Han's words changed, and it was precisely because the Western Army had no commanders, so as long as he found an opportunity to bribe some middle-level generals to pretend to pass on the holy decree and eradicate Tong Guan and his gang, there would be no one in the Western Army to lead King Qin, and the Western Army might turn to watch the direction of the wind. But this old guy just gave people hope and continued to fight, he said, the Xiang army is a local army, and the military power is in the locality. Regardless of whether it is a civil usurp or a military usurpation, it is necessary to take into account the locality. Today, more than 70 percent of the officials in each state and government are Cai Jing or Gao Yu. There are people in the DPRK who are good officials, and local officials also have to cling. In this way, if a few ministers are not handled well, local riots will inevitably occur, and they may also be used by the children of the same Zhao family to sweep the Xiang army into King Qin.

On the other hand, Li Han pointed out that an abnormal change of political power may give the enemy country an opportunity to take advantage of it. I am most afraid that there are internal thieves echoing external thieves, and in the end, not only will they not succeed in usurping the throne, but they will also destroy the great Song Dynasty. Once the son of heaven is a courtier, the change of power will definitely make the courtiers afraid, and it is difficult to predict what will happen.

Ouyang's analysis: The success rate of usurpation is 100%, the rate of being attacked by the enemy country after usurpation is 50%, and the rate of being attacked by the country after usurping is 80%. The mortality rate reached 99%.

After Li Han finished speaking, everyone was silent, and finally Zhang Xuanming, who came to his senses, spoke: "The usurpation of the throne was a gamble, and now the lord has lost the hearts of the people and the army. The Xiang army is made up of displaced people, and most of them suffer from the seizure of land and stones, and I am afraid that they may not be willing to be the king. He also knew that it was now a grasshopper on a rope, and there was no turning back when he opened his bow, and there was a saying that wealth and wealth were in danger: "As for the local officials, they must not dare to raise an army in one family, and if they want to contact each other, it will not only take time, but also need to have a leader." There are also enemy countries, our Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia and Liao have not fought for many years, not that they will not be treacherous, but it is not easy to make a deployment to attack our Great Song Dynasty in a short period of time. As seen by the grass people, since the princess has the intention of usurping the throne, she must be decisive and decisive, and there must be no kindness of a woman. Quickly take control of the temple, the western army, and pacify the place. The grass people think that they must be killed, such as Cai Jing and Gao Yu's gang, which have been entrenched for a long time and are deeply rooted. Killing them without a leader will not make much trouble. The second is the reward, the promotion of the military general is the second product, and even the first product, with actions to show the princess's heart of martial arts, and the generals of the Western Army do not need to be stingy with rewards, anyway, the court is stable, whether you want to take it back is a word from the princess. The third thing is to say: inform the world of the crimes of the current emperor and win over the people. Fourth, it is necessary to turn around: quickly transfer domestic contradictions, so that the court and local governments can focus on other matters. Five to be benevolent, forgiving the world. Sixth, we must be ruthless ......"

The princess listened to Zhang Xuanmin's words and nodded again and again. Or that these two are talented people, and there is only one left...... The princess asked, "Ouyang, what do you think?" ”

"Well...... Zhang Li's second son is really talented, I, Ouyang, am really embarrassed to say. Ouyang was telling the truth: "However, if you want to forge a holy decree or something, I can help, there is absolutely no difference between it and the real one." "I used to think I was a talent, but now I feel like a good-feeling and innocent little doll. Looking at Zhang Gongzi, he doesn't have the strength to catch chickens with his hands, but when it comes to cutting ministers, it's easier than cutting cabbage. Looking at Li Han again, he is thoughtful, and he can't compare with himself. This is called wisdom, not a realm that can be achieved by oneself with a thousand techniques. Ouyang is also humble, not as good as a person is not as good as a person, of course, he is not arrogant, I may not be able to learn what you will, I will definitely not, and I will not be able to learn.

The princess smiled in her heart when she heard Ouyang's reply, this guy also had times to admit defeat: "According to the analysis of the three sons, this usurpation is usurpable, but the current preparation is not thorough enough, right?" ”

Li Han nodded: "Those who have achieved great things are not in a hurry, not anxious, not impatient." But remember, this matter needs to be kept in the utmost secrecy. ”

"Yes!" The princess looked at the three of them behind the screen, these three were all smart people, and after being pulled into the water by themselves, they would not sell themselves. Look at the palace maid in the hall, absolutely diehard. Looking at some of the officials he contacted privately, they were all people who firmly supported the new law and were excluded in the Huizong era, and they had not mentioned the usurpation of the throne, and secrecy was still guaranteed. The princess felt that Ouyang was very strange, and she would basically only talk about usurping the throne on paper, but when it came to other things, she would be the first to go. But you don't want to say it, and you still boast that you have experience, and you almost believe him to say that the usurpation is so simple.

Li Han said: "The current important thing is the Western Army, and the best policy is to exterminate Tong Guan and support the Western Army." The middle strategy is to transfer Tong Guan away from the Western Army, and the Western Army is neutral. The next strategy is to use the military system to develop the cronies in the Western Army and contain the Western Army. ”
