Lu Yongyan thought about it and felt uneasy.
"Is this too offensive and dangerous? Then...it is the Emperor after all! How can we betray the Emperor? We will be punished by God."
"The moment he killed my father, I no longer regarded him as the emperor. He was my enemy. Even if he was punished by God, I would avenge my father!"
Zhang Shi's eyes were filled with sparks of hatred: "What's more, he was the one who caused the Ming army to go south. It was he and Yu Yunwen who desperately wanted to destroy the Ming Dynasty's Yellow River embankment. This made the Ming Dynasty furious and sent troops south. He did it himself He has committed such a sin, but he has to drag us all to be buried with him. Is there any emperor like this?"
Lu Yongyan felt that what Zhang Shi said made sense, but he still felt scared.
"This matter is too big...can you give me some time to think about it?"
"You can consider it, but time waits for no one. We only have twelve hours. Now almost three hours have passed. We still have nine hours. Everything is irreversible. We will definitely die. Yongyan, if you want decided."
Zhang Shi said: "Do you want to die by the sword of the Ming Dynasty, or do you want to fight for the world's wealth? If you succeed, you can become your wife and your son!"
Lu Yongyan swallowed and took several deep breaths.
"Gong Deyuan has been very kind to me, and I will never be able to repay it in my lifetime, so...so for this matter...Brother Jing Husband, when we are doing great things together, can you please join me and be courageous for me?"
"I can work with you right now to convince your subordinates and embolden you!"
Zhang Shi said happily: "Is there anyone among your subordinates who is unreliable? If so, we will deal with him directly!"
Lu Yongyan felt a little more relaxed and nodded.
"Although most people listen to me, there are still a few thorns that have not been resolved. If they can be resolved this time, everyone will listen to me."
Zhang Shi said he understood.
"Then I will help you once. Anyone who dares to go against you is going against me!"
Zhang Shi was in full swing. On the other side, Shen Gai also had a good chat with a group of his old bureaucrats. Everyone was frightened after hearing what Shen Gai wanted to say, but Shen Gai carefully analyzed the pros and cons for them. Analyzing the situation, they gradually calmed down.
The more Shen Gai said, the more a group of old bureaucrats felt that Shen Gai's words made sense.
Which of them is not the head of a wealthy and prosperous family?
Who doesn’t have a lot of clan members besides their family members who want them to live a luxurious life?
Once the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty, according to the Ming Dynasty's method of doing things, none of them would be able to survive, and they would all die.
Now there is a chance to survive, but the emperor has to give it up - isn't it traitorous? So what? So what if you betray your country? It’s not like it hasn’t been sold before!
Old bureaucrats, you look at me and I look at you. They gradually lost their voices and gradually unified their thoughts.
They felt that what Shen should be planning was meaningful. Although it felt a bit treasonous, there was nothing they could do in order to survive. They did not want to die for their country, nor were they willing to part with their privileges, nor were they willing to die for Zhao Xun.
Finally, Zhou Linzhi, who had been silent, made a suggestion.
"After the Empress Dowager deposed the emperor, we should not support the crown prince as emperor. The crown prince is twenty-two years old, older, decisive, and has the ability to manage government affairs. He will never be willing to be controlled by others. I I think this approach is inappropriate.”
Shen Gai immediately glanced at Zhou Linzhi.
This guy is usually calm and calm, but he sees things very accurately.
"So who does Mao Zhen think should be chosen as emperor?"
Shen should ask his opinion: "How about the second prince?"
"The emperor has three sons. The prince is the eldest son. The second prince is twenty years old and has a reputation as a virtuous man. He is also old and is not suitable to be the emperor."
Zhou Linzhi still shook his head.
"According to what you say, the third prince is eighteen years old and an adult. He has always been favored by the emperor and praised his heroic demeanor. Can he be the emperor?"
Shen Gai looked at Zhou Linzhi with some dissatisfaction.
Zhou Linzhi stroked his beard and smiled.
"Although the third prince has a heroic demeanor, he is frail and sick. He has been in poor health since he was a child. This is no secret. At this moment, the third prince is ill and is lying on the hospital bed taking medicine."
Shen Gai was stunned and suddenly realized.
The ministers also suddenly realized.
That makes sense!
Although the third prince Zhao Dun "has a heroic spirit", he is in poor health, so he cannot show up all the time and is in charge of the government. It is natural that he needs "virtuous ministers" such as Shen Gai to control the government on his behalf.
It seems that Zhou Linzhi is really a person who has his own opinions on issues.
With Zhou Linzhi's suggestion, the old bureaucrats expressed their opinions one after another, saying that they would follow Shen Gai to complete this matter, eradicate the treacherous ministers, and depose the ignorant king.
At the stall where they expressed their stance, Zhang Shi came back and brought good news.
Lu Yongyan agreed to join the gang and complete this exciting "palace change" with them.
There was not much time, so they just did what they were told. The group of people did not make any adequate preparations at all, and they did not even have time to do any psychological construction. During the action, some people even wondered what they were doing, but this did not prevent them from doing anything. They use their instincts to tell them what the best thing to do is.
Save yourself, save your family, save everything they have.
Whoever threatens everything they have will be killed.
They targeted Yu Yunwen, but Yu Yunwen didn't know anything about it at this time.
As time passed, Yu Yunwen climbed to the highest point of the city wall and looked outside the city. He saw the Ming army camps and troops in the dark in the distance, and he felt very gloomy.
"Binfu, let's have something to eat."
Yang Wanli walked to Yu Yunwen with several steaming meat buns and handed them to Yu Yunwen.
"The steamed buns stuffed with meat are freshly steamed. They are very fragrant. Eat some."
Yu Yunwen looked at Yang Wanli, then at the white meat buns in his hand, smiled, took one to his mouth, and took a big bite.
"Just eat one?"
Yang Wanli himself took one and stuffed it into his mouth and took a big bite: "You haven't eaten in the morning. It's almost night now. It's been a whole day. It's impossible not to eat."
"Where can I eat..."
Yu Yunwen smiled bitterly and said: "The enemy is currently eyeing Lin'an City. The morale of the troops in the city is unstable and rumors are spreading. We still don't know how long the city can hold on and whether it can really repel the Ming army. If there is a slight mistake, the Song Dynasty will be destroyed." How could I not be careful with my hands?”
"These things... Binfu, can you tell me something?"
Yang Wanli looked at Yu Yunwen as if he was looking at something very, very far away.
"I did it, and the Ming people didn't lie."
Yu Yunwen knew what Yang Wanli wanted to ask, so he answered directly.
Yang Wanli closed his eyes and sighed deeply.
"I thought this was really a rumor. If that's the case, then..."
"Yes, I planned it together with the officials. I originally thought that destroying the Yellow River embankment in the Ming Dynasty would buy more time for the Song Dynasty, but I didn't expect that stealing the chicken would end up losing the rice. Hmm... maybe this is what God is doing to me. Take retribution, I don’t care about human life as retribution.”
Yu Yunwen sighed deeply and said: "Once the Yellow River embankment is destroyed, I don't know how many people will die and how many families will be destroyed. These are all caused by me, so I have long been prepared to bear the consequences, but I didn't expect What’s more, Mingguo still succeeded, it’s really a formidable opponent.”
"If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing."
Yang Wanli whispered: "Binfu, I will never stand on your side in this matter. Once the Yellow River bursts, the consequences will be terrible. Hundreds of thousands of people will die and millions of people will be displaced." ! Haven’t you seen enough of the tragedy of Sanyi Huihe back then?”
