"No, this must not happen!" Shi Miyuan almost jumped up from his chair, waved his hands again and again, and shook his head like a drum. 八一Chinese ].

Zhao Hong and Zong Tianxuan glanced at each other, and their faces became a little ugly. Zong Tianxuan said in a deep voice: "Why not? Could it be that what Master Shi said before was all false, and he didn't really want to overthrow that faint monarch and set up King Deng as the emperor? ”

Shi Miyuan hurriedly waved his hand again, and said: "No, no, no, don't misunderstand, you have been dissatisfied with the control of the faint monarch for a long time in your heart, His Royal Highness King Deng is the one who belongs to the destiny of heaven, and he will assist King Deng to make up his mind, and there is no reason to change it, how can he be distracted." ”

When Zhao Hong heard this, his face became a little better, and he said, "Master Shi, since this is the case, then why did you stop Mr. Gong's plan just now?" ”

Shi Miyuan took a breath, and then said, "The two of you will listen to me, and it's not too late to make a decision." ”

Zhao Hong and Zong Tianxuan were only able to get along with Shi Miyuan through Wang Shiyong and Sun Bingwen. It turned out that Wang Shiyong and Sun Bingwen were Zhao Kai's old departments, and after Zhao Kai's defeat and death, they switched to Zhao Chen's side, but Zhao Chen did not reuse them, and only gave the two of them a Jilu scattered official, and later these two followed Shi Miyuan, and then gradually promoted, and now Wang Shiyong is the governor of Huizhou, and Sun Bingwen is the governor of Yanzhou, and they have become Shi Miyuan's party.

And Zong Tianxuan was contacting Zhao Kai's old department, and after learning that the two of them were coming out, he immediately came to the door and asked them to support Zhao Hong and overthrow Zhao Chen's rule together. However, Wang Shiyong and Sun Bingwen are also old fritters in the officialdom, and after learning about Zong Tianxuan's intentions, they were noncommittal, and said ambiguously, first stabilized Zong Tianxuan, and then went to Shi Miyuan to discuss.

After Shi Miyuan listened to the two of them, he immediately realized that this was a rare opportunity. Because Shi Miyuan is an ambitious person who pays for his own talents, now the power of the six ministries is greatly enlarged by Xu Xiang, and the squire of the six ministries is the candidate official of Shangshu, and he will even have the opportunity to enter the political hall in the future and become the ruling minister. But for Shi Miyuan, after never being willing to follow others, it is absolutely not enough to just get to this point. What he wants is to stand at the pinnacle of power, to become the sole ruler of power, and to say that there are no two people.

But through careful observation in the past few years, Shi Miyuan has a clear heart, Zhao Chen is by no means an emperor who is easy to fool, and it is difficult for him and Yang Yan to separate. As long as there is a combination of Zhao Chen and Yang Yan, then in the imperial court, it is not difficult for him to become the ruling minister, or even enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, but it is absolutely impossible to hold power alone. can only be honest, be a subordinate under Zhao Chen, and dedicate his talents to the Jiangshan Society of the Great Song Dynasty.

Of course, Shi Miyuan was unwilling, and also made many moves, first gelding the people, taking advantage of the opportunity of the great victory over Western Xia, creating public opinion, and letting Yang Yan serve as a privy envoy, planning to push Yang Yan to the forefront first, and then slowly find a way to deal with him. But he didn't expect that Zhao Chen didn't let Yang Yan serve as a privy envoy in the end, and still retreated behind the scenes, which also made Shi Miyuan's plan come to fruition.

However, Shi Miyuan was not reconciled, and bribed the palace servants through people, seized the emperor's queen, and spread rumors, saying that the emperor and the queen were in a collision of luck, so there was no queen, and he came to slander Yue Ying. Once the queen falls out of favor, she can create another opportunity to compete for the position of queen for Concubine Yang. In order to control the harem, and then slowly take things over. Just a few days ago, news came out from the palace that Guo Dada and other five chamberlains were all executed by the emperor for the crime of great disrespect.

Shi Miyuan is now, at least for now, the position of the queen and Yang Yan is as stable as a rock and difficult to shake. And although Shi Miyuan did these two things very secretly and did not involve himself, but the paper could not contain the fire after all, and now Huang Yunguan outside the city was also seized by the imperial court on the charge of confusing the public with evil words and vainly discussing the imperial court. Fortunately, that veteran Zheng Xuan was quick to escape first, so he was not captured. However, it is accepted by the whole country. In the future, if the matter is revealed, he will die without a place to be buried.

Of course, Shi Miyuan has not thought about using the most extreme method to carry out a coup d'état to change the current situation.

But Shi Miyuan also knew that the coup d'état must be supported by military generals, who were the generals of the Sanya Forbidden Army. After all, he is only a civilian official, and although he has established some forces and recruited a number of fellow parties, his influence in the military is still far from sufficient.

Although he and Li Quan have formed an alliance, Li Quan is now stationed in Jinghu after all, and it is difficult to play a big role. Moreover, Li Quan was born in Caokou, which determined that it would be very difficult for Li Quan to become the commander of the Sanya Forbidden Army, and in the short term, I am afraid it would be difficult to count on it. At the same time, under the current name, a coup d'état is almost tantamount to a rebellion, and he has no friendship with other generals, so among the generals in Beijing, no matter which one he is, he can't pull Longlong.

What's more, there is still Yang Yan in the capital now, although he has no specific official position, he has a good relationship with most of the generals, and he is also quite majestic in the army. Although Shi Miyuan did not lack the courage to take risks, he also knew that he had no chance of winning if he carried out a coup d'état in such a situation. Therefore, Shi Miyuan is now at a loss.

But the information provided by Wang Shiyong and Sun Bingwen to Shi Miyuan suddenly made him suddenly open his mouth and see another prospect.

Although he hadn't seen it before, he had heard of Zong Tianxuan's name a long time ago, in fact, Shi Miyuan had always looked down on people like Zong Tianxuan. Moreover, some of Zong Tianxuan's behaviors and practices when he assisted Zhao Kai were simply scoffed. However, Shi Miyuan also understands that Zong Tianxuan also has his advantage, that is, he can fight, and he still has a group of people who can fight. And in their own sphere of influence, it is precisely the lack of such people. If you can form an alliance with Zong Tianxuan and complement each other, then you have great hope for your success.

And Shi Miyuan also believes that a simple-minded person like Zong Tianxuan is not difficult to accept, and Zhao Hong is just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, which is easier to deal with, there are very few people like Zhao Chen who have the quality of a generation of famous monarchs, and Shi Miyuan does not believe that he will be lucky to this kind of field and meet a second Zhao Chen.

Therefore, as long as it is done, that Zong Tianxuan and Zhao Hong are not like puppets, they are completely at their own mercy. In this way, you can realize your ambitions, take power alone, and say nothing.

Of course, Shi Miyuan is also pure, this is also a great adventure, after all, if it is under Zhao Chen, there is still a chance to become a capable minister or a famous minister, after working honestly for decades, and making some fruitful political achievements, in the name of the third duke, he will return to his hometown in the name of the third prince, and he will not lose his father's ending. And once he allied with Zong Tianxuan and Zhao Hong, he either succeeded and reached the peak, or he was ruined and discredited, and there was no place to bury him, and there was no second way to go.

But Shi Miyuan also understands that those who achieve great things, what can they achieve without taking risks? And the greater the risk, the greater the benefit. At the same time, Shi Miyuan is also full of confidence in his own ability. I believe that as long as you arrange and plan by yourself, you still have a considerable chance of success.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Shi Miyuan finally decided to form an alliance with Zong Tianxuan and Zhao Hong to carry out a big plan together.

However, whether or not to form an alliance in the end must wait for an interview with Zong Tianxuan and see their attitude before making a final decision. Before the final decision, Shi Miyuan did not plan to come forward to contact Zong Tianxuan in person, but still Wang Shiyong and Sun Bingwen were still the two sides to pull the strings, and in order not to leave any handle, all the correspondence was all oral narration, without a piece of paper and half a penny.

And at this time, Zhao Chen's birthday, Zhao Hong wanted to follow Zhao Qianru into Beijing. Zong Tianxuan originally planned to take advantage of Zhao Hong's entry into Beijing, launch a surprise attack, assassinate Zhao Chen, and then make Zhao Hong the emperor. After learning that Shi Miyuan was willing to take refuge in his side, he was also very happy, because with Shi Miyuan in the court, the chances of success were greatly increased. Therefore, he planned to take advantage of Zhao Hong's entry into Beijing to meet with Shi Miyuan and discuss together.

And Shi Miyuan also ended in failure because of his two plans, and he also knew that he could only take the road of coup d'état, so he also readily agreed to meet with Zong Tianxuan and Zhao Hong.

I thought that after seeing Zhao Chen today, I would be fine. That's why I agreed with Zong Tianxuan that the time to meet Shi Miyuan was tonight, but Zhao Qianru came tonight, and Zhao Hong had been thinking about meeting Shi Miyuan, so he seemed restless. Fortunately, Zhao Wanru asked him to rest first before he could get out. As soon as he returned to the room, Zong Tianxuan arrived, so he asked Da Kui and Xiao Kui to guard the door, and Zong Tianxuan took Zhao Hong to see Shi Miyuan.

The meeting place was in a deserted ancestral hall in the west of the city, and Shi Miyuan also came in civilian clothes, without even bringing a family member with him.

After the three of them met, they negotiated quite harmoniously at first. It wasn't until later that Zong Tianxuan proposed that he wanted to take advantage of Zhao Chen's birthday to lead people to infiltrate Jiankang, attack the palace, kill Zhao Chen, and then support Zhao Hong as the emperor.

After Shi Miyuan heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked: What are these people thinking? This mind is too simple, what do you think the palace is? Own backyard? Can you come and go? Attacking the palace at this time, isn't that a dead end? But that's fine, simple-minded people are easy to control.

Of course, this requires them to be able to follow their own arrangements first, so Shi Miyuan immediately made up his mind in his heart, if he couldn't persuade them to give up the plan to attack the palace, he would immediately draw a line with them and leave. Anyway, I only saw them once this time, and I didn't have any written letters with them before, so I just won't admit it when the time comes. If you do it a little more desperately, it is also a feasible plan to simply go to Zhao Chen and buy Zong Tianxuan and Zhao Hong at a good price.
