The Li Baihong brothers were startled by the sudden voice from behind the bead curtain, and their hearts trembled.
When did the speaker come, I and others were completely unaware of it.
Except for the Li Yunlong brothers, all of them winked at the guards standing behind them. If the words that I and others just said were accidentally spread, it would be enough to kill several of my brothers!
Li Yunlong slowly raised his head and motioned to the brothers to calm down.
Although Li Baihong and others did not know the reason, they still chose to believe in Li Yunlong. They had to believe that after all, they were all grasshoppers on a rope.
No one could run away if something happened, but no order was given to the guards to cancel the alert.
After all, this is a business that involves killing heads, so it's better to be careful.
Li Yunlong looked into the bead curtain with a calm expression. However, the bead curtain was set up very cleverly. People inside could roughly see the situation outside. Looking in from the outside, they could only vaguely see two figures.
Unable to know the true identity of the visitor from Lushan, Li Yunlong was a little disappointed and gently raised the wine glass in front of him: "May I ask which of your Excellency is here?"
"Wan Yang, the commander-in-chief of the Kingdom of Jin, is very polite. He has met all the princes."
When the Queen revealed her identity, except for Li Yunlong who sat quietly, the other four brothers suddenly felt their hearts pounding.
Li Baihong stared at Li Yunlong closely, tapping his fingers uneasily on the table in front of him: "Third brother, you said there is someone who can help us achieve our great ambition. So you are talking about people from the Jin Kingdom?"
"Do you know what you're doing?"
The fourth child, Li Yunping, originally wanted to retreat from this matter, but now that he learned that the queen was from the Jin Kingdom, he felt even more reluctant.
"Third brother, don't forget who we are. No matter how much we deal with our own family, we can't deal with it too much, but if we are linked to people from the Jin Kingdom, it is like seeking the skin of a tiger."
"You must not become a national thief, otherwise we will have no face to meet the ancestors of the Li family or our father a hundred years from now."
The fifth child, Li Qing, and the seventh child, Li Zhi, also looked at each other: "Third brother, fourth brother is right!"
"Ordinary people are familiar with the truth, not to mention that we are relatives of the Li family."
"The people of the Jin Kingdom have always been eyeing my dragon, how could they be so kind as to help us seize the throne?"
The words of the brothers seemed to be spoken to Li Yunlong, but in reality they were spoken to the Queen behind the bead curtain.
It can be seen that except for Li Yunlong, although the other four brothers are jealous of the chair, they have not been carried away and know what to do and what not to do.
The empress behind the beaded curtain narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced at the brothers outside. She originally thought that the third child had informed the brothers about the matter, but the brothers still came to the appointment because they were dazzled by the benefits.
Now it seems that things are far from as simple as I thought.
Li Yunlong kept them in the dark and planned to catch up after meeting with him.
Um?
The queen paused slightly and stared at the position of her second child, Li Baihong, thoughtfully.
She noticed the hidden cunning meaning in Li Baihong's eyes, and after thinking about it for a moment, the queen nodded as if she had some understanding, and couldn't help but look at Li Baihong a few more times.
I secretly thought that the second child's thoughts were indeed unusual.
Although she was secretly happy, she still pretended to be righteous. The empress suspected that the second son might have the intention of liaising with the enemy country in the future, so she removed Li Yunlong as a stumbling block and inherited the throne openly.
In other words, Li Baihong was planning to use Lao San as a stepping stone.
Sure enough, no one born in the royal family has a simple mind.
On the other hand, the fourth child, the fifth child, and the seventh child sincerely do not want to deal with themselves.
Especially the fourth child, the firm look in his eyes cannot be faked.
The Queen smiled faintly, shook her head slightly, and looked at the fourth child, Li Yunping, with pitiful eyes.
You often walk along the river without getting your shoes wet. It would be difficult to get off a pirate ship.
This is a path destined to be irreversible. If you participate in it once, you are destined to only go one way to the end.
"Princes, please don't rush to a conclusion. Why don't you listen to what I, the commander, mean?"
Li Bohong and others cast their gaze behind the bead curtain, wanting to hear how the Queen persuaded them and others.
The Queen picked up the tea cup and tasted it briefly: "Princes, how sure do you think you can pull down the new monarch who has gradually gained control of the army without me, Da Jin, as a foreign aid?"
"I won't say any more nonsense, Commander!"
"As the prince said just now, as long as the new king and the eldest daughter of the Yun family are married, the Yun family will definitely stand by the new king. After all, the general of the Tiger Army, Yun Chong, is carrying the identity of the head of the country.
No choice.”
"Three of the six guards in Northern Xinjiang are in the hands of the new king."
"Maybe you still think that there are three more guards you can use."
"It's just that the six guards of Northern Xinjiang are united. Do you think you have a good chance of winning over the other three guards?"
"Plus 300,000 new cavalry and 100,000 imperial guards."
"We have 700,000 elite soldiers at hand. If there is no external aid to help, we will only rely on some government soldiers that you have coerced and lured, and the personal soldiers in their respective fiefdoms."
"Although your personal soldiers have already exceeded the 5,000 number stipulated by the Dalong Court. Although I don't know the exact number of commanders, it is impossible to exceed 200,000."
"The new ruler doesn't even need to go to war. The Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang of the 300,000 and half of their battle-hardened elite soldiers can defeat your rebels."
"The frontier soldiers who make a living by licking blood with their swords are not a bunch of idle soldiers. They can be compared with the soldiers you have just recruited."
"Leaving aside the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang who have been on the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang, the 300,000 new monarchs stationed in the capital alone are no match for your troops."
"Three hundred thousand cavalrymen have been training for four years from the fourth year of Ruian to now the first year of Tai'an."
"Although they have not been on the battlefield, their training methods must have been heard by all the princes. They are the training methods carefully formulated by Liu Mingzhi, the Duke of Ding of your country. Their instructors are all experienced in hundreds of battles from the Western Regions.
division."
"My commander is not afraid of losing face to all the princes. If your troops meet them on the battlefield, they may not be able to stop them if they charge together and they will be defeated in one blow."
"I don't need to elaborate on what will happen to the princes and even your wives, children, and children when the time comes!"
Li Yunlong gently fiddled with the tea lid in his hand. Although he didn't say a word, the corner of his eyes kept focusing on the brothers.
Except for the fourth child, Li Yunping, the other three were somewhat moved but hesitant. However, only the second child knew in his heart whether the look on his face was true or false.
"Second brother, fifth brother, seventh brother, you have to think clearly. A person who always keeps an eye on your family's property suddenly wants to help you seize it. Do you think this is realistic?"
"One mistake will lead to eternal regrets. It's not too late to rein in the situation!"
"If you dare to collude with Jin Guo, Li Yunping will not agree even if he dies. At worst, he will confess the matter to his elder brother."
"I admit it whether I killed or chopped it into pieces!"
"In a word, I have nothing to say about my family's affairs, but if I are asked to rebel against the country and face the enemy, I would rather die than obey!"
"With just a thought, you may kill millions of my dragon's army."
"What will happen if you get the throne at that time? Without the frontier soldiers to guard you, you will become the food on the plate and the wine in the cup in the eyes of the Jin people!"
"Although the throne is important, the 600-year history of my Li family is even more important!"
