Shen Gai looked at Zhang Shi for a while, then sighed slightly.
As a literary leader with considerable academic achievements, Zhang Shi is now planning such a thing. It seems that the death of his father and the failure of the war had a huge impact on him, so much so that his temperament changed drastically. .
But it wasn't his fault, the only thing Shen Gai could confirm was this.
"It is indeed a pity for Mr. Zhang. If Mr. Zhang were still in the current situation, it would not have reached this irreversible point..."
Shen Gai sighed for a while, then became nervous again, and said softly: "What you said is very risky, and taking action requires all kinds of planning. Now that we are pressed for time, how can we plan to ensure that nothing goes wrong? If we plan now, is it already too late? What’s up?”
Zhang Shi shook his head.
"My lord is confused, how can we get a perfect method in the world? We don't have a perfect method, so do they? Does Yu Yunwen dare to say that he has a perfect method to repel the enemy? Isn't he thinking of risking his life to repel the Ming Dynasty? In the current situation No one has a perfect solution, what we need to do is very simple, as long as we can win the cooperation of an army."
"Which army?"
"The Royal Guards."
"this……"
Shen Gai frowned and said, "Not to mention that the imperial guards are the emperor's personal soldiers and confidants. Whether they can win over them is really a question. Even if they can win over them, what should we do next to get rid of Yu Yunwen and force the official to abdicate?"
"As long as we win the cooperation of the Forbidden Army, we can control the communication between the palace and the outside world. Then we can let Yu Yunwen enter the palace under the guise of the emperor. Once he enters the palace, it will be easy to kill him. After killing Yu Yunwen, we can quickly go there The imperial palace controls the emperor.
After that, we will force the Supreme Empress to issue an edict and depose the emperor, and we will quickly install the new emperor on the throne. Then the prime minister will serve as Pingzhang Army's state affairs, with full regent power, and order the troops in the city to stop resisting and open the door to surrender. In this way, the overall situation is settled! "
Zhang Shi described the coup process very easily, but Shen Gai was frightened.
"You say it's so easy, but every step is fatal! Why is it so easy? If anything goes wrong, we will all die!"
"The coup that no one thought of is often the easiest. Even the coup that we who planned the coup envisioned was just planned. Then the emperor and Yu Yunwen had no way to prepare for it. Who would prepare for a coup that never happened? So. First, the outcome is only between 50 and 50.”
Zhang Shi said: "After the Imperial Guards in the capital were destroyed by the Ming army, the first reconstruction was completed under my father's hands. My father personally presided over the selection and promoted a group of officers to be the main officers of the Imperial Guards. Now this Except for the dead ones, the batch of officers were basically senior officers of the Lin'an Forbidden Army.
Today's Lin'an army, except for His Majesty's Palace Forbidden Army, is all commanded by Yu Yunwen, and we have no way of starting. However, the deputy commander of the Palace Front Division, Lu Yongyan, who is in charge of the Palace Forbidden Army, was not only personally promoted by his father, but also from the same hometown as me. "
"Ah, is this... such a fate?"
"If I didn't have such a fate, how could I make such a dangerous suggestion to my husband? For such a dangerous matter, even if I don't think about it for myself, I must consider it for my husband."
Zhang Shi said with a smile: "I am willing to lobby Lu Yongyan on behalf of the Prime Minister, and I will also ask the Prime Minister to take charge of the situation. I believe that as long as the Prime Minister is willing to take charge of the situation, the ministers in the DPRK will definitely be willing to obey the Prime Minister's lead! Let's work together to save the Song Dynasty and avoid the disaster of destruction!"
With that said, Zhang Shi straightened his clothes and knelt down to Shen Gai.
"May your Majesty take charge of the overall situation and save our lives!"
Shen Gai was so moved by Zhang Shi's kneeling that he felt like he saw hope of living.
He thought hard for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and threw all benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust behind his head. The pain and hatred of having his head smashed by Zhao Xun with a flying tea bowl came to his heart.
Zhao He, you are unkind, don’t blame me for being unjust!
He helped Zhang Shi up and said seriously: "If you really convince Lu Yongyan, I will definitely take charge of the situation! We must not allow the confused king and the treacherous people to destroy the foundation of the Song Dynasty left by our ancestors!"
"Thank you sir!"
Zhang Shi was overjoyed.
When Zhang Shi was about to take action, Shen Gai suddenly called out to Zhang Shi.
"Before I left the Ming army camp, the Ming army commander Zhang Yuejing specifically told me that Yu Yunwen wanted to be alive and not dead. Death would not count, so try not to kill him, but try to find a way to capture him alive."
Zhang Shi blinked.
"Then tie him up tightly, put a piece of cloth in his mouth, and knock him out. As long as you control him, it's not difficult at all."
"That's great, then I'll leave everything to you, husband!"
Shen Gai held Zhang Shi's hand tightly and entrusted his life to him.
The two then split up.
Shen should call his trusted bosses and old bureaucrats to talk to them about the situation, clarify their interests, and let them not worry about what is about to happen.
Zhang Shi spent money to bribe the imperial guards and asked them to inform Lu Yongyan that his old friend Zhang Shi was visiting.
Lu Yongyan was very grateful to Zhang Jun, a fellow countryman, for promoting him from a junior officer to a mid-level officer and giving him a promotion. After Zhang Jun died, he was sad and panicked, worried that he would be implicated, but he did not , Zhang Jun only died alone and was not involved in the army.
With the foundation laid by Zhang Jun, the next few military chiefs promoted him. After the new Forbidden Army was reestablished, he sneaked into the position of deputy commander of the Front Division.
Although the Palace Front Division is only half-assed, and some of the organizations are on Zhao Gou's side, Lu Yongyan is in charge of all the Palace Division under Zhao Hao. After this war, he even assumed the responsibility of protecting the palace. .
However, as a person who lives a leisurely life, Lu Yongyan prefers the position of a mid-level officer. It is neither above nor below. It is just right and saves a lot of troubles. Once he takes up a senior military position, he will have a high probability of becoming an enemy. It is the must-kill target of the Ming army.
The conscience of heaven and earth, Lu Yongyan has never faced the Ming army since he joined the army. He is very afraid of the Ming army. He wanted to resign and return home several times, but failed.
So when Lu Yongyan heard the news that Zhang Shi wanted him to join in launching a coup, he almost peed in fear.
"Brother Jingfu, don't scare me, this kind of thing... will make you lose your head!"
"Since ancient times, people who do great things have to risk losing their heads. As long as they succeed, they will not lose their heads, and they will have great wealth that was unimaginable before!"
Zhang Shi whispered: "And if you think about it, we will definitely not be able to defeat the Ming army. We are no match for the Ming army. When the Ming army breaks through the city wall and comes to Lin'an City, you who are guarding the palace will bear the brunt and will not be able to escape even if you want to. Isn't it still a death?
We have a 50% chance of winning in a major event, but if the Ming army is allowed to attack the city, there is a 10% chance that we will die. Comparing the two, what do you think can we choose to survive and live better? Should we work together to achieve great things, or should we just sit back and watch? "
