Chapter 953 Preparation
After hearing Liang Xing's words, Zhao Guodong's face turned pale. He let go of his hand holding Liang Xing's collar, slowly returned to his seat and sat down, then lowered his head and said nothing.
Zhao Guodong thought to himself: "Yes, I have had a deep relationship with the King of Qin. If the King of Qin takes risks in Beijing, he will not be able to escape!"
Zhao Guodong sat there hesitated, and he was right to hesitate. This was a rebellion, and it was successful. Natural Duke and Marquis Wandao. But now Zhao Guodong is already a duke. Could it be that King Qin succeeded and could he be named the king? It is easy to say, but it failed? Not only Zhao Guodong lost his head himself, but his whole family, all his relatives, friends, and subordinates were going to be in trouble with him.
But if you don’t listen to the King of Qin or arrest Liang Xing and hand it over to the emperor? This is not possible. Even if Zhao Guodong doesn’t launch here, the Qin King in Beijing will launch it. At that time, either the prince dies or the Qin King dies. If the prince dies, the emperor will definitely resent the Qin King’s party. Zhao Guodong is the biggest official of the Qin King’s party. Who will he deal with him if he doesn’t deal with him? If the King of Qin dies, the prince will be able to spare Zhao Guodong even if he becomes the emperor?
Zhao Guodong was thinking about it and was unable to make up his mind. Liang Xing saw a low laugh at the side and said, "Can you make up your mind? Can you listen to the words of the villain? This time there is another person who came to Shenyang with the villain. The villain came to the adult's place, and that person went to another home in the city. Even if the master of the Taiwan Strait arrested the villain and gave it to the emperor, that person would launch a mutiny as promised!"
Zhao Guodong heard that he had accomplices and was very curious. He knew that the King of Qin was born in the Second Division. There were many people in the King of Qin in the Second Division, but who was the iron-killer who could still do rebellion even though he knew that he could still do it?
"Who is that person? Who else is the accomplice of the King of Qin?"
Liang Xing smiled and did not answer, but continued: "If the National Taiwan Master agreed, the villain would naturally make it clear to the adult, but now the adult does not agree, the villain would not say it!"
Zhao Guodong knew that these dead soldiers were carrying poison on them, and they would commit suicide as long as the matter was leaked. In this way, he could arrest him and give it to the emperor, but he still couldn't explain it clearly without a proof of death.
When Liang Xing heard Zhao Guodong hesitate, he whispered: "Master Jiantai, have you forgotten that the emperor was bewitched by the civil officials last year because of the mere 10,000 troops and sent someone to criticize you? The King of Qin promised you that as long as the matter was completed, all the ministers in the court who wrote the letter to impeach you back then were immediately executed, and the title of Master Jiantai was the prince and your concubine's son was the prince. At the same time, let Master Jiantai serve as the Grand Marshal of the National Army!"
As for the official position, Zhao Guodong didn't care about it. He is now a duke, and even if he becomes a prince, he is only bigger than the current royal palace and eats better. As for the national military commander Zhao Guodong, the Grand Marshal of the National Military and Horses, he is self-aware. In addition to him, there are four military commanders in the army, including Qian Yong, Wang Jinbao, Ma Kun, and Zhou Yu. Even if the King of Qin ascended the throne to make him the Grand Marshal, the four military commanders could listen to him, Zhao Guodong, so the Grand Marshal of the Military and Horses must be a free agent.
However, what Liang Xing said about killing all the damn damn old ninths was quite attractive. When Zhao Guodong mobilized troops within his own authority, he was almost framed as a warlord by those damn old ninths, which made the emperor personally issue an order to denounce him, making him very embarrassed in the army. Later, those damn old ninths were even more overdoing the Liaoning governor who should have been a military general to a civil servant. Now, Zhao Guodong has to be controlled by the governor in everything he does.
Zhao Guodong analyzed that even if he didn't get involved, someone would definitely take action tomorrow. If he succeeded, he would not make any contribution, and if he failed, he would still have to push the jar. Thinking of this, Zhao Guodong began to feel a little moved.
"What should the emperor do if the King of Qin said he had nothing to say about it?" The abdicated emperors in ancient China had never had a good ending, and few could live until they died naturally. Zhao Guodong was not a human being, he should remember Zhu Hongsan's life-saving grace, so he did not want the King of Qin to kill Zhu Hongsan in order to get to power.
Liang Xing laughed and said, "Where did Master Jiantai think? The King of Qin is His Majesty's son. If he kills the lord, how could he ascend the throne to the emperor? So His Majesty must be alive! The King of Qin means to imitate Xuanwu Gate, and His Majesty abdicates and becomes the Supreme Emperor at that time!"
Zhao Guodong was right when he thought about it. It was already illegal for the Qin King to rebel. You should know that the five major troops in the country have more than 200,000 new-style troops, and only one-quarter of their own northeast. If the Qin King kills the emperor, then a few military leaders will immediately have the name of clearing the emperor's side, and then the country will definitely be full of war. But it will be easier to keep the emperor's life. I will issue an imperial edict to pass the throne to the Qin King in the name of the emperor. This is completely legal in law, and the military leaders will lose their name if they want to cause trouble.
Zhao Guodong nodded and said, "Okay, I agree! Now you can tell who the other person is!"
Liang Xing laughed and said, "Please ask the National Taiwan Master to come later, that person will come later! The villain is about to say goodbye! The villain will also rush back to Beijing and report the matter to the King of Qin. I hope that the next time I meet with the National Taiwan Master is at the King of Qin's ascension ceremony!"
Liang Xing got up and left, but Zhao Guodong had no choice but to wait in the secret room. After waiting from afternoon to late at night, his concubine Zheng sent the maid to find him three times, wanting the master to go back and rest. However, Zhao Guodong is full of worries now, and he has time to think about men and women, so he scolds the maid away.
Zhao Guodong waited until the third hour of Hai, and it was only half past ten o'clock in the evening when the butler outside the door came to inform Zhang Bao for a visit.
Zhang Bao has now taken over Zhao Guodong as the commander of the Second Division. Why did he do so late? Could he be the other person Liang Xing mentioned?
After entering the house, Zhang Bao asked, "Sir, is Liang Xing gone?"
Zhang Bao said this and Zhao Guodong knew that Zhang Bao was that person. Unexpectedly, Zhang Bao had such thick eyebrows and big eyes and betrayed the revolution. Zhao Guodong knew very well that he graduated from the second phase of the teaching team and was the emperor's absolute direct line. In addition to Zhao Guodong, he also knew that Zhang Bao was the secret spy in the army. At that time, all the secret spys in the second division were under his jurisdiction.
Zhao Guodong was still a little unbelievable and asked, "Zhang Bao, did the King of Qin ask you to come?"
Zhang Bao nodded and said, "That's right, the general of the Mo has already defected to the King of Qin. This time the King of Qin is going to launch in the capital. Let Mo cooperate with the Lord to attack the palace and arrest His Majesty in the future!"
Zhao Guodong didn't believe that Zhang Bao could betray the emperor, so he asked: "Zhang Bao, aren't you your Majesty's confidant? Why are you..."
Zhang Bao smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, Mo Zheng has no choice. Mo Zheng is too close to the King of Qin. Now you and I have tied up with the King of Qin. We are going to be unlucky together!"
Zhao Guodong thought about it, so he had no way out and could only try hard!
Zhao Guodong fought for the rest of his life and was very determined. As long as he made a decision, he would go on without hesitation. Now that he has decided to make Zhu Hongsan rebellion, he must be prepared.
Zhao Guodong has not directly managed the army for many years since he handed over the Second Division in the Battle of Jinan, so he also asked Zhang Bao who the generals of the regiments in the army.
"Zhang Bao, this matter is important. Does the Second Division have a general you trust?"
Zhang Bao smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, you are also a leader. Now the generals above the regiment need the orders of the Military Affairs Office to be transferred. The last general dare not say that he has an absolute confidant in the Second Division! But if the regiment commander is not good, we can use the battalion commander!"
Zhu Hongsanding's military system had 3,500 people, the first regiment had five battalions, and the first battalion had 500 people, and the five hundred people were a large formation.
Zhao Guodong couldn't help but frown when he heard Zhang Bao say this: "There are now two thousand Jinyiwei in the palace, and the thick palace walls, without two thousand people and five cannons, it is impossible to hit it!"
"Sir, we can't disturb the regiment commander. Anyway, tomorrow is the Spring Festival, and the city will hold a lantern festival. Can adults transfer from each regiment to several battalions in the name of insufficient staff in the city inspection department. Will there be enough staff in this way? As for the artillery final, they can be secretly transported into the city with a large cart, so that they will not alarm the snake."
When Zhao Guodong heard that it was not bad. As long as there were cannons that opened the palace gate, the two thousand Jinyiwei in the palace were nothing. Although Jinyiwei and other guys were good at fighting, it was not enough to face the real elites of the Second Division.
"Okay, let's leave this matter to you. Tomorrow afternoon, all the people entering the city will be concentrated in the Governor's Office. Let's do it when it's dark!"
After Zhao Guodong and Zhang Bao finished their discussion, they began to prepare separately. The next day, Zhao Guodong used the Governor's Guard to issue a document to Shenyang Mansion, saying that in order to ensure the security of the Lantern Festival on the Shangyuan Festival, two thousand troops would enter the city from the North City Gate in the afternoon and let the gate-guarding inspection department release it.
There are still several levels between the Governor's Office and Shenyang Mansion. In fact, according to official customs, the Governor's Office should not directly issue orders. However, the Shenyang Prefect did not take it seriously. After all, the emperor is in the city now, and Governor Zhao made sense to ensure the emperor's safety and did not abide by the rules.
As the governor of the Northeast, Zhao Guodong had 200,000 troops under his command, and more than 80,000 troops in the new army, but his troops were all scattered all over the place, and the only one in Shenyang was the Second Division stationed outside the north city of Shenyang.
In the afternoon, the Second Division received a military order from the Governor's Office, and drew four battalions from each regiment to the city to maintain public order. After receiving the order, Zhang Bao called five regiment commanders to convey the order. The five regiment commanders did not think much about it, and only two thousand were drawn, which was completely within the governor's authority.
In the afternoon, two thousand people mobilized into the city from the small north gate of Shenyang, which is the Dizaimen gate, and gathered at the school ground at the gate of the Governor's Office in the North City.
Zhao Guodong was waiting anxiously in the mansion in military uniform. After finally waiting until dark, Zhang Bao finally came, bringing good news that the cannon had entered the city.
