Ascension to the throne and proclaiming himself emperor will definitely require the support of the army, and it will definitely be too late to train troops on your own.
At this time, the best way is to instigate rebellion against the Forbidden Army and the garrison.
Of course, this sounds ridiculous, like letting a cat act like a mouse.
Li Zhaoliang looked at Yu Fuguo in surprise, thinking that Yu Fuguo was joking.
"Mr. Yu, now is not the time for jokes. If you use the imperial army and the garrison to start an uprising, wouldn't you be throwing yourself into a trap?"
Huairen was also very surprised and asked: "Could it be that my father-in-law has an insider in the Forbidden Army and the garrison?"
Speaking of internal responses, Li Zhaoliang suddenly remembered that Yu Fuguo once served as a garrison eunuch.
"I have remembered that Mr. Yu once took charge of the garrison."
Li Zhaoliang looked at Yu Fuguo expectantly, but Yufuguo poured cold water on him and said: "Your Majesty, how many years has it happened? Besides, the old slave is now a traitor. Who of those bastards in the garrison would dare to recognize the old slave?
"
Li Zhaoliang was disheartened when he heard this.
Come to think of it, it's been many years since Yu Fuguo left.
Coupled with the fact that the Imperial City Division surrendered to the enemy, who in the garrison would dare to have anything to do with Yu Fuguo?
"Then why did Mr. Fish say that?"
Huairen was a little dissatisfied and felt that Yu Fuguo's remarks were irrelevant.
Yu Fuguo said: "Your Majesty, Sir Huai, don't be impatient. Always have an idea in advance and then take action."
"The Forbidden Army is not monolithic. Does everyone want to follow the ghost?"
"With repeated defeats ahead, don't they want to find another backer?"
"The same goes for those people in the garrison mansion. The prince has his destiny, and they must also want to curry favor with him."
"Of course, this matter cannot be rushed. It must be planned slowly."
Li Zhaoliang thought about it carefully and it seemed to make sense, but he was still worried.
"I'm just afraid that the Forbidden Army and the garrison will go back and forth. If the matter is leaked, the matter will be over."
Yu Fuguo said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Your Majesty asked the old slave to come back to assist you in becoming emperor."
Huairen suddenly said: "Father, I heard from the prince that you have the emperor's secret edict in your hand. Why don't you pass the secret edict on to everyone?"
"If there is an emperor's decree, they will definitely respond."
Li Zhaoliang immediately said: "No, if the emperor's secret edict is taken out and everyone knows about it and informs the ghost, the emperor's life will be at stake."
The secret edict had been torn up by Yu Fuguo, and Li Zhaoliang could not take it out, so he opposed this approach.
Of course, he is right to worry.
If the secret edict was known to the ghost, Li Chengdao would be dead.
Yu Fuguo also said: "Sir Huai, the emperor did not hesitate to sacrifice the entire Imperial City Division and let the old slave sneak back to Jinling City to assist the prince in proclaiming the emperor, just to clear up the relationship and avoid being discovered by the ghost fetus."
"What you do is tantamount to telling everyone that this is the emperor's will."
"If the ghost fetus rushes back from the front line, neither the emperor nor the prince will be safe."
When Li Zhaoliang heard that the ghost fetus was coming back, he felt a chill on his back.
Huairen sighed slightly and said, "In that case, I don't know how to deal with it."
Li Zhaoliang asked Yu Fuguo: "Mr. Yu, are you sure you can instigate rebellion against the Forbidden Army and the garrison?"
Yu Fuguo said: "Old slave will have to try to find out. However, the old slave has a special status and may not be able to meet them. This matter needs to be done in the name of the prince."
Yu Fuguo is a traitor. If he goes to the Forbidden Army and the garrison like this, they will definitely not believe him.
Li Zhaoliang said: "It doesn't matter, my father-in-law can act in the name of the king."
Yu Fuguo immediately said: "Can the prince give me a token? It can also be used as a token."
Empty talk, who would believe it?
It's different if you have a token from the palace. It can at least prove that you are Li Zhaoliang's person.
Li Zhaoliang immediately took out the token from his waist and handed it to Yu Fuguo.
Yu Fuguo carefully collected the token and hid it.
Huairen asked: "Eunuch Yu's strategy is to instigate rebellion against the imperial army and the garrison?"
Yu Fuguo said: "This is just one of the steps. The army must be there, and the ministers in the DPRK also need to be contacted. This matter will bother Mr. Huai."
Huairen immediately said: "There is no need to worry about this matter. I have contacted more than a hundred officials from the DPRK and China."
Long Chen was listening to the conversation between the three of them, and he was also thinking about how to turn the situation around.
It was Long Chen's idea to instigate rebellion against the Forbidden Army and the garrison, because it was impossible to train the troops again, and it was unrealistic to mobilize troops from outside.
If the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty were quietly mobilized, or if Ji Xianxian's soldiers and horses were allowed to enter, the defenders in the city would inevitably resist fiercely, and it would be a melee.
Li Zhaoliang will also be notorious for collaborating with the enemy and treason, and seeking power and usurping the throne.
The people who instigated the rebellion against the Imperial Army and the garrison were all Nanliang's own people. After proclaiming himself emperor, he was justified. It can be said that the people's will is what the destiny is.
Therefore, in terms of the army, it is wisest to use the imperial army and the garrison.
The army alone is not enough. We must also have the support of the ministers of the DPRK and China. Let Huairen contact us about this.
All the high-ranking officials in the court were taken away, especially the six important ministers. The remaining officials were not high-ranking, so Huairen could take care of them.
As for the most important public sentiment, nursery rhymes are still circulating, people are still talking, and more and more people will support Li Zhaoliang.
If the army, ministers, and people's support are all in place, then the title of emperor will be secure.
While the three of them were talking, Long Chen suddenly looked back at Lin Zi, and Yu Fuguo asked, "What's wrong?"
Among the four people in the pavilion, Li Zhaoliang has a low level of cultivation, Huairen is a civil servant, and only Yu Fuguo and Long Chen have high levels of cultivation.
"Someone!"
Long Chen said lightly.
Li Zhaoliang and Huairen stood up in fright. Yu Fuguo immediately asked them to sit down and comforted them: "No need to worry, Yinglong will just capture them."
After saying that, Long Chen's body flashed and he was gone.
Li Zhaoliang was startled and asked in surprise: "The cultivation level of this shadow dragon is so high?"
Li Zhaoliang is knowledgeable and knows how powerful this kind of movement is.
Yu Fuguo smiled and said: "The secret guards around the emperor are just ordinary people."
"My lord, please wait a moment and we will arrest them immediately."
At this time, Sha Wuliang, the headman of the garrison mansion, was slowly sneaking towards the pavilion with his body low and under the cover of darkness.
Arriving 10 meters away from Wangyou Pavilion, Sha Wuliang stopped.
From this distance, Sha Wuliang could hear the sound, but couldn't see clearly the people in the pavilion.
Judging from the sounds, one of them is Li Zhaoliang and Huairen, and the other two Sha Wuliang cannot be distinguished.
a little further
Sha Wuliang stood up slowly and planned to move forward a few meters to try to see clearly who the other two people were.
At this moment, a hand pinched the back of Sha Wuliang's neck. The hair on Sha Wuliang's body stood up, and he immediately drew the knife and stabbed behind him.
When the short knife stabbed out, his wrist was also pinched. Sha Wuliang still wanted to struggle, but a huge force pushed him to the ground, his mouth was buried in the mud, and he was completely unable to move.
This man is so strong!
Sha Wuliang felt completely overwhelmed by his strength, and he had no power to resist in front of this man.
With his fingers pointing at his back, Sha Wuliang couldn't move and his mouth was filled with mud. Long Chen picked up his belt and carried Sha Wuliang back to Wangyou Pavilion.
Li Zhaoliang only saw a shadow flash past, Long Chen had returned, and there was a man on the ground.
