Chapter 41 Difficult? Not difficult?
On the second day of the Lantern Festival, the princess began her third exam: usurping the throne!
Zhang Xuanming was so scared that he almost fell into a coma when he heard that he usurped the throne. Li Han was an old turtle had guessed a little earlier, but although he was still shocked, he was somewhat mentally prepared. Ouyang just sighed. As the princess said, he could only hope that the princess usurped the throne successfully, otherwise Song Huizong would not let him go, and he could only run away.
Li Han cleared his throat and said, "Weapon the throne, one is Wen usurpation, and the other is Wu usurpation. Wen usurpation means to force abdication. Wu Zetian usurpation is the emperor who is seriously ill and slowly arranges his confidants among the ministers, and finally takes over the power. The disadvantage is that the princes and princes of Li in the world are dissatisfied and the army is famous for fighting against Wu rebellion..."
Li Han probably meant that there were few ministers who would support the princess, and most of them were powerless and powerless. The princess himself was not old and a woman, and had a low prestige. He had basically no contact with the ministers of the court. If he wanted to abdicate, there would be many troubles and the success rate was not great. Wu usurped the throne, so he did not think it was difficult to usurp the throne. After all, Song Huizong had a chance to take advantage of the virtues. What he said was the Western Army. Tong Guan was a favorite minister of Song Huizong and was about to be named king. He is now in charge of the Privy Council and a military supervisor. Since the Western Army did not have a strong general at the moment, Tong Guan, a eunuch who had fought for more than ten years, was a bit handsome. This person was very generous, and middle-aged and superior officers would get his benefits from him from time to time. Once he led the Western Army to serve the king, it would be a big trouble.
Trouble 1: The Western Army is the most brave army in the Song Dynasty, with a total of 300,000 units all year round, and some of the main forces have one horse. Even if the princess surrenders to Tokyo's 100,000 imperial guards, she may not be able to withstand it. Trouble 2: Even if Tokyo withstands, the Western Army will be taken away, and the Liao army will inevitably go south with all its might, and it is not impossible to directly attack the capital.
Therefore, Li Han believes that the current time for usurping the throne is not ripe.
Li Han said something, making Ouyang and the princess feel cold. Ouyang couldn't help but sigh that he was too tender about usurping the throne. After hearing Li Han's words, the princess felt that she was too naive.
But Li Han changed his subject, and because the Western Army had no general, he just wanted to find an opportunity to buy some intermediate generals and fake imperial edicts to wipe out Tong Guan and his gang, and there would be no one in the Western Army to lead the king, and the Western Army might turn to observe the direction of the wind. But this old guy just gave people hope and continued to attack. He said that the Xiang Army is a local army, and the military power is in the local area. Whether we usurpate the literature or the military, we should take the local area into consideration. Now more than 70% of the officials in each prefecture are Cai Jing or Gao Qiu. Some people in the court are easy to be officials, and local officials have to cling to them. In this way, if several ministers are not handled well, local riots will inevitably be avoided, and they may be used by the same Zhao family and swept the Xiang Army into Beijing to fight for the king.
Another thing, Li Han pointed out that abnormal regime alternation may give the enemy country an opportunity to take advantage of it. The most fear is that internal thieves respond to external thieves, and in the end, not only fail to usurp the throne, but also ruin the great power of the Song Dynasty. Once the emperor and the ministers are in a daze, the alternation of regimes will definitely make the ministers afraid, and it is unpredictable what will happen.
Ouyang analyzed: the success rate of usurpation is 100%, the attack rate of being attacked by the enemy country after usurpation is 50%, and the attack rate of being attacked by the country after usurpation is 80%. His own death rate has reached 99%.
After Li Han finished speaking, everyone was silent, and finally Zhang Xuanming, who was awakened, said: "Ususpending the throne was a gambling, but now the lord lost the people's hearts and the army was lost. The wing army was all caused by refugees, and most of them were suffering from the land grabbing the stone gang, and I am afraid that they might not be willing to serve the king." He also knew that now was a grasshopper with a rope, and he had no turning back. There was also a saying that wealth and honor were seeking danger: "As for local officials, there was no need to worry about it. They would definitely not dare to raise an army together. If they wanted to contact each other, it would not only take time, but also a leader. There was also an enemy country, our Song Dynasty, our Xixia, and our Liao Dynasty had not fought for many years. It was not that they would not betrayal, but it would be not easy to make arrangements to attack our Song Dynasty in a short time. Just like the grass people looked at it.
Since the princess has the intention to usurp the throne, she must be decisive and must not be kind to a woman. She quickly controls the temple, the Western army, and appeases the local people. The grass-roots believe that one should be killed, such as Cai Jing and Gao Qiu, who has been entrenched for a long time and is deeply rooted. If they kill them, they will not cause much trouble. The second is reward, and promotes military generals to the second rank, or even the first rank, and use actions to show the princess's desire to value martial arts. The generals of the Western army do not need to be stingy. Anyway, the court is stable, and whether to take it back is just a word from the princess. Third, it is said: to inform the crimes of the current emperor in the world and win over the people. Fourth, it is necessary to turn: quickly divert domestic conflicts and let the court and the local government focus on other matters. Five, be kind, be generous, and be lenient to the world. Six, be cruel..."
After hearing what Zhang Xuanmin said, the princess nodded repeatedly. Either they were both talented people, and there was one left... The princess asked: "Ouyang, what do you think?"
"Well... Mr. Zhang and Li are really talented, and I, Ouyang, are really embarrassed to say it." Ouyang said the truth: "However, if I want to forge an imperial edict, I can help, and it is absolutely no different from it." I originally thought that I was a talent, but now I feel that I am a little baby with a good and innocent feeling. Looking at Mr. Zhang, I don't have the strength to grab a chicken, but when it comes to chopping ministers, it is easier than cutting cabbage. Look at Li Han, I think carefully, and it is not something I can compare with. This is wisdom, not a state that can be achieved by using thousands of techniques. Ouyang is also modest. If you are not as good as others, you are not as good as others. Of course, you don't think you can do it. I may not know what you know, but I can learn. You will definitely not know what I know, and you will not learn.
When the princess heard Ouyang's reply, she smiled in her heart. This guy also gave in: "According to the analysis of the three young masters, this usurpation can be usurpated, but the preparations are not detailed enough at present, right?"
Li Han nodded: "Those who achieve great things should not be anxious or anxious. But remember that this matter needs to be kept very confidential."
"Yeah!" The princess looked at the three of them behind the screen. These three were smart people. After being dragged into the water, they would not sell themselves. Then look at the inner guards in the hall, they were absolutely loyal. Then look at some officials who contacted privately, they all firmly supported the new law, were excluded during the Huizong era, and they had not mentioned the usurpation of the throne, and there was still a guarantee of confidentiality. The princess thought Ouyang was very strange. He basically only talked about usurpation on paper, but he was very polite when talking about others. But if you don't know, don't say it, and even boasted that he had experience. He almost believed that he said that the usurpation of the throne was so simple.
