Li Zhu felt a little exhausted mentally and physically.
He was full of excitement and confidence a month ago, but with the changes in the situation this month, he is now a little unsure that his original decision was correct.
In Huanghaidao, the war entered a stalemate. Although Li Shi had blocked the rebel offensive, the national power of the entire kingdom was like a river without a dam, flowing wildly.
Now, in addition to the two to three thousand troops in the royal city, basically all the troops he could mobilize in the north were sent to Li Shi's hands.
The south, he didn't even know what the south was like now. A pirate group of almost three thousand people landed from Busan and had caused trouble all over the south. Do you dare to believe the pirates of three thousand people? This kind of nonsense is just a lie.
To deceive those fools, he, Li Zhuo, is wise and powerful and has already seen through the origins of these pirates.
It is nothing more than the rebellion of the Li family and the Shen family and the pirates they colluded with. Whether it is the Li family, the Shen family or those pirates, the people standing behind them are all Ming people.
The day before yesterday, a letter was sent to Li Shi, asking people from the Li family and Shen family to go to the front line. Although these people may not really be executed by Li Shi, Li Shi still gave them to him. In any case, it is impossible for Li Shi to surrender.
He was very sure about the other party's. Asking for these relatives of the Li family and the Shen family was probably just a way for Li Shi to leave a way out for himself.
Even Li Shi is leaving a way out for himself, so where is his way out?
He suddenly remembered Jin Changsheng. It seemed that he had not seen Jin Changsheng for several days, and Jin Changsheng had not asked to see him. These days, for Jin Changsheng and him, both sides had a tacit understanding of turning a blind eye to each other.
Jing, but at this moment, Li Zhu was thinking about the other party. At least, with Jin Changsheng's wisdom, he would be able to come up with some useful plans for the development of the subsequent situation!
Outside the palace gate, there was a faint noise, but the noise soon stopped. Li Zhu did not take it seriously and was still immersed in his own thoughts.
The palace door creaked open, and groups of heavily armed soldiers rushed in. Several chamberlains tried to stop them, but they were chopped down to the ground by the swords and guns in the hands of these soldiers.
Li Zhu looked at the soldiers rushing in in astonishment. Some of their faces seemed a bit familiar. They should be soldiers loyal to him. Why did they suddenly turn their swords and guns on him?
Then, next to these heavily armed soldiers, he saw some more familiar faces, Jin Changsheng, Li Shi, and even prisoners who were supposed to be detained in the army, Shen Quanyi, Li Qianye and others, and more
Ministers!
"You, are you going to rebel?"
Li Zhu felt panicked and pointed at the ministers who had been loyal to him: "Those who try to conquer the superiors below will be punished by the three tribes!"
"The king is acting rebelliously and corrupting the court. I can't bear to see the king continue to make mistakes!"
Li Shi had a serious look on his face: "Shi would like to lead the civil and military officials of the imperial court to ask the king to abdicate!"
"Your Majesty, please abdicate!" Dozens of courtiers behind Li Shi bowed down and shouted at the same time, and behind them, the swords and guns in the hands of the unarmed soldiers were projected from outside the palace into the palace.
There was a cold light shining in the light.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Li Zhu laughed angrily and pointed at the courtiers who bowed down: "You are all my loyal ministers and good deeds. In the face of a powerful enemy, you don't think about how to defend yourself against the enemy, but you work together to create my king's destiny."
opposite!"
"Li Shi, everyone in the world knows how I treat you. Even if you succeed in usurping the throne today, do you think everyone in the world will be convinced? You ungrateful villain!"
"Your Majesty, please save some dignity for yourself!"
Li Shi said in a deep voice: "Li Shi and I have never thought of treason, let alone usurp the throne. After the king abdicates, Li Shi and his colleagues will do their best to assist the crown prince and become the new king Li, just like before,
The king led his ministers and expelled Lord Gwanghae!"
"It was the king who failed his ministers, not the ministers who failed the king!"
Li Zhu wanted to say something more. Hearing these words, a burst of anticipation suddenly surged in his heart: "So, you are only rebelling against me, the king, and not against me, the Li family?"
At the foot of the white jade steps, all the ministers spoke out again: "Please, Your Majesty, abdicate!"
The soldiers came up, and Li Shu wisely shut his mouth and allowed the soldiers to take him down. The matter seemed to be a foregone conclusion. As long as there was another chance in the future, he would not incur death for himself just for a moment of pleasure.
Misfortune.
And since these rebellious officials and traitors have decided to rebel against him, they will definitely not be afraid of killing him, the king!
In the main hall of the palace, everything became quiet. Li Shizhi issued an order without hesitation, asking his soldiers to take over the entire royal city, while the civil servants were whispering together, discussing matters related to their own future and the future of the country.
The problem.
"No womanly kindness!"
Jin Changsheng was beside Li Shi, watching Li Shi issue orders, and suddenly said: "General Li should know which officials in the royal city had the greatest reaction to the king being forced to abdicate. Taking advantage of the troops entering the city, these troubles
We must solve them all before the new king ascends the throne!"
"Thank you, Mr. Jin, for reminding me. I won't give myself a chance to regret!" Li Shi nodded: "Everyone will do what I have to do as promised. The rest is up to Mr. Jin and everyone else!"
"Do you really want to support the crown prince to ascend to the throne?"
Jin Changsheng said in a low voice: "If General Li becomes king, no one will dare to object at this moment!"
"Mr. Jin, we are wise people and don't speak secretly. If I were to covet the throne, the first thing I would do would be to kill you, Mr. Jin and Mr. Park Zhijie. Li Shi, I still have some self-awareness!
"
Li Shi grinned: "Mr. Jin is still alive and well, isn't he?"
Jin Changsheng took a long breath and seemed relieved: "That's very good. You and Li Shenzheng and others have discussed the matters in the palace. It's time for me to go to the post house now!"
"So, do I, you, Shen and Li have the final say in the court now?" Li Shi looked at each other.
"Let's do this for the time being. There can be no chaos in the city, and there can be no objections. I want to go to the Ming people, and they will stop attacking us immediately!"
Jin Changsheng nodded: "More specific matters will be discussed after Park Zhijie rushes back from the south. In any case, from now on, all the power of the court cannot be controlled by the king alone. Perhaps, we can follow the example of the Ming Dynasty and establish
There is a cabinet, and all matters, big or small, are handled by the king on his behalf!"
"Let's talk about it then!" Li Shi was obviously not interested in this: "You go to meet the people of Ming Dynasty first!"
