1188 Best Timing
In addition to Li Feng, Zhang Ji and Xiahou Xuan, there were also relatives of Li Feng and Zhang Ji, including Li Feng's younger brother Li Yi, the assassin of Yanzhou, Li Wei, the scattered cavalry squire, Li Feng's son Li Tao, and Zhang Ji's son Zhang Miao, the lieutenant of the palace.
Xiahou Xuan because of his special status, it is inconvenient to participate in his matter with great fanfare, after all, Sima Shi always sends people to monitor Xiahou Xuan, if Zhang Ji Li Feng and Xiahou Xuan have too much contact, it will inevitably make Sima Shi suspicious, so they just agreed with Xiahou Xuan that after the matter is completed, Xiahou Xuan will be the general and preside over the government, because only Xiahou Xuan has this prestige, Zhang Ji and Li Feng sit in this position, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public.
However, Zhang Ji and Li Feng have already booked a position for themselves, that is, the hussar general and Shang Shuling, and the three will also preside over the court of Wei, and the power of Sima Shi will also be shared by the three of them.
It seems that Xiahou Xuan doesn't have to do anything, but the benefits are the greatest, which seems to be a little unfair, Li Feng's younger brother complained in private, but immediately let Li Feng go back.
If you want to get rid of Sima Shi, but the prestige of Li Feng and Zhang Ji is far from enough, there must be a person with a reputation that can shock the ministers of the DPRK and China to stand up and act as a leading figure, so that this mutiny operation can be successful.
And Xiahou Xuan is probably the only suitable candidate, first of all, he has a deep grudge with the Sima family, although he is on an errand in the court, but he has no real power, and belongs to the marginalized characters of Sima Shi, and secondly, Xiahou Xuan, as the leader of the metaphysical faction, has a large number of fans in and out of the court.
Although this mutiny was organized by Zhang Ji and Li Feng, without Xiahou Xuan, they would not have succeeded at all, so Zhang Ji and Li Feng willingly gave up their head work to Xiahou Xuan, and it was enough for them to get a piece of the pie.
In fact, Xiahou Xuan is not taking advantage, because this matter is risk-sharing, successfully carved up power, failed to guillotine, although Xiahou Xuan did not participate in the specific mutiny, but it is equivalent to putting his life in the hands of Zhang Ji and Li Feng, once the mutiny fails, Xiahou Xuan will inevitably be wiped out by the three clans.
Now the plan is being carried out in an orderly manner, although Zhang Ji and Li Feng are full of confidence in this operation, they still have to act carefully, after all, the Sima clan has been in charge of the government for several years, and their party members are numerous, and the roots are deep, and it is indeed not easy to root up this force, and this thing must be done very secretly, and cannot be known to other outsiders, once the news is leaked, with Sima Shi's means, pinching them to death is like pinching them to death.
In order to ensure that the news is not leaked, that is, the fewer people know, the safer it is, so Zhang Ji and Li Feng discussed, as much as possible to narrow the scope of insiders, except for the descendants of the people, other people are not allowed to tell, even if it is the Zhang family and Li Feng's domestic servants and slaves, they will not let them know as much as possible, at most on the day of the operation, they will be notified to set off, even at that time, they will not be told the specific goal, just ask them to obey the order and obey the command.
Most of the domestic servants and slaves who were listed in this operation were also the henchmen and slaves of the Zhang family and the Li family, and they were told to go east, but they did not dare to go west.
In fact, Zhang Ji and Li Feng's operation has been planned for a long time, and it turned out that they planned to buy the people in the palace, and when Sima Shi entered the palace, they would find an opportunity to kill him.
Li Feng was ready to buy Su Shuo, the supervisor of the Yellow Gate, Yongning Commander Le Dun, and the redundant servant Liu Xian, Li Feng deliberately secretly gave each of the three of them a generous gift, and at the same time threatened them: "A few of you are in the inner court, there are many illegal things, the general Sima Shi is strict and resolute, if what you do is known by the general, Zhang Dang's fate will be your end." ”
Su Shuo, Le Dun, and Liu Xian were so frightened that their faces turned pale at the time, what happened to Zhang Dang, they witnessed it with their own eyes, when they were in the palace, Zhang Dang was the waiter of the Yellow Gate, and in order to tie up Cao Shuang, even the talents of the first emperor were given to Cao Shuang, so in the harem, Zhang Dang was a steady step, and he wanted the wind to get the wind and the rain. However, after the Gao Pingling Incident, Sima Yi eliminated Cao Shuang's remaining party, and Zhang Dang was also among them, and was beheaded in the city.
As palace people, who did not have any corruption and bribery, they also knew that Sima Shi could not rub sand in his eyes, and once their bad deeds were known by Sima Shi, they would really die without a place to be buried.
Su Shuo and the others were so frightened that they knelt down for Li Feng, and said repeatedly: "Li Zhongshu save me." ”
Li Feng said quietly: "Don't worry, as long as I Li is here, Dingbaoer and others are fine, but you have to obey the orders of a certain person, and after the matter is completed in the future, Dingbaoer and others will soar." ”
Su Shuo and the three of them bowed their heads and obeyed their orders, Li Feng didn't dare to accept the gifts they gave them, Li Feng said to them with a smile: "This thing is just a little bit of heart, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will be prosperous and rich in the future, and it is indispensable." ”
Through threats and temptations, Li Feng won the support of Su Shuo, Le Dun, and Liu Xian, they were just waiting for a suitable opportunity, as soon as Sima Shi entered the palace, they would immediately close the palace gate and ambush Sima Shi.
But such an opportunity is indeed difficult to find, after all, Sima Shi will stay in Sima Mansion most of the time, occasionally go to the court to enter the palace, and the guards around him are crowded, plus the commander of the forbidden army in the palace, most of them are also Sima Shi's people, and it is not easy to do it in the palace.
Without perfect certainty, Li Feng and Zhang Ji didn't dare to make a move easily, they could only secretly wait for the opportunity and wait until there were few guards around Sima Shi before making a move.
Unexpectedly, Sima Zhao's wife Wang Yuanji died suddenly, and the Sima family held a big funeral, Li Feng and Zhang Ji suddenly realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime God-given opportunity, as long as they could seize this opportunity and ambush Sima Shi and the people of the Sima family and their cronies in one fell swoop, a big thing could be accomplished.
It is not a good strategy to do it in Sima's house, although the Sima family has no time to take care of other things in order to do the funeral, but Sima's house is a tiger's den in Longtan, and if you want to break through, there is almost no possibility of success, so you can only give your life in vain.
Only when the funeral is out, leaving Luoyang City, is it an excellent time.
