From eunuch to emperor

Li Zhaoliang's carriage slowly arrived at the Wangyou Pavilion. At this time, the sun was sinking, cicadas were chirping in the forest, insects were chirping in the bushes, and frogs were croaking in the pond.

Liao Houqi put down a plate of melons, fruits and pastries, and served a jug of wine and a cup.

After setting things up, Liao Houqi lit the incense burner again.

In summer, there are many mosquitoes near the water, and incense burners must be used to repel mosquitoes.

"Just wait outside."

Li Zhaoliang gave orders, and Liao Houqi immediately asked the guards to put martial law outside.

Li Zhaoliang was eating melons and fruits, slowly waiting for the time to pass.

The sun disappeared, the bright moon rose in the east, and the silvery moonlight fell on the pond, and the cry of the frogs was particularly loud.

In the woods, a man came out and bowed to Li Zhaoliang: "I pay my respects to the lord."

Before it was three o'clock, Huairen arrived first.

Huairen, like Li Zhaoliang, was very anxious, so he arrived early.

"Master Huai, please sit down."

Huairen sat down, and asked around the circle: "Isn't Yu Fuguo here yet?"

Li Zhaoliang said: "The agreed time is the third watch, which is still early."

"Lord Huai, don't worry, just wait for a while."

Huairen nodded slightly, and waited patiently at the Wangyou Pavilion.

Outside the Wangyou Pavilion.

Sha Wuliang, the head catcher of the garrison mansion, approached quietly with a dozen people, and the guards of the palace were patrolling back and forth.

After careful observation, Sha Wuliang ordered in a low voice: "You guys watch outside, I'll go in and check the situation."

The subordinate was a little worried, and said: "Sha Tutou, there are so many of them, if they are discovered, it's not a joke."

Sha Wuliang said: "You don't need to say, just watch outside."

After finishing speaking, Boundless Sha slowly seeped into it.

In the Wangyou Pavilion, Li Zhaoliang only had one wine glass, and Huairen could only eat some fruit and cakes to pass the time.

After a while, two shadows came out of the woods and went outside the pavilion.

By the moonlight, Li Zhaoliang recognized Yu Fuguo.

"Grandpa Fish."

Li Zhaoliang got up happily, and Huairen got up after him.

"The slave pays his respects to the lord, Mr. Huai has not seen you for a long time."

Yu Fuguo met Li Zhaoliang and saluted Huairen.

Seeing Yu Fuguo, Huairen felt a strange feeling in his heart.

"Elder Yu... are you serious...didn't join the enemy?"

Huai Ren still expressed his inner doubts.

Yu Fuguo said embarrassingly: "The lord must have already said this matter, our family is also on business according to the order, so we have to bear the infamy of a traitor."

"If our family is not like this, how can we escape from the control of the ghost? How can we bring back the emperor's secret edict?"

"Daliang's 400-year foundation cannot be destroyed in our hands."

Yu Fuguo spoke sincerely, and Huairen was filled with grief and indignation when he heard it.

"Elder Yu is willing to bear this notoriety. This junior admires him. Please accept this junior's respect."

Huairen is a passionate man, and Yu Fuguo's rhetoric made him excited.

It is really admirable that the eunuch, who is not a good eunuch in the eyes of the world, can do such a thing for Daliang.

Yu Fuguo immediately bowed and said: "Lord Huai, our family is just a eunuch, we dare not be the ones, we have to rely on Master Huai."

Li Zhaoliang held the hands of the two of them and said, "Both of you are loyal ministers of Daliang, please sit down and talk."

The two sat down, and Long Chen stood behind Yu Fuguo.

It was only then that Li Zhaoliang and Huairen noticed Long Chen.

Li Zhaoliang asked, "Eunuch, who is this?"

Yu Fuguo immediately said: "This is Yinglong, the emperor's personal bodyguard. He was originally the emperor's shadowy bodyguard. This time, in order to achieve great things, he also came with this old slave."

"Shadow Dragon, I have seen Wang Ye and Lord Huai."

Long Chen immediately bowed and said: "This subordinate has seen the prince and Mr. Huai."

Li Zhaoliang was a little surprised, and asked, "Why didn't I see you last time?"

Yu Fuguo said: "The last time I was guarding the outside, this time I brought him to see the prince. Yinglong is the emperor's personal bodyguard, with high martial arts skills. If the prince wants to achieve great things, he must rely on this person."

"Once the prince ascends the throne, there will be many assassins. If there is no expert protection around him, he will be in danger."

Li Zhaoliang deeply believed that there were no masters in his palace, and he was worried all day long, fearing that someone would break into the palace and assassinate him.

Li Zhaoliang asked excitedly: "Can the shadow dragon be given to me?"

Yu Fuguo was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect to send Long Chen to Li Zhaoliang's side...

Huai Ren immediately said: "Your Majesty, Shadow Dragon has been with Eunuch Yu for a long time, and it will be more effective by Eunuch Yu's side, so it's better not to take away the beauty of others."

Huairen secretly stepped on Li Zhaoliang's foot, signaling Li Zhaoliang not to take in people who don't know the details.

The suspicion on Yu Fuguo has not been clarified yet, it was the first time Long Chen saw him, if he was brought by his side as a guard, if it was an assassin, the consequences would be disastrous.

Li Zhaoliang also came to his senses, and said with a smile: "Yes, it is of great use for the emperor to give it to the father-in-law. How can this king take away people's love."

Long Chen thought to himself: This Huairen is not an idiot, he is quite alert.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Li Zhaoliang began to talk about serious things.

"Grandpa Yu, you keep talking about the situation."

Li Zhaoliang first asked Yu Fuguo to talk about things.

Yu Fuguo said: "This old slave is ashamed to come to Jinling City by order. Until now, he just made up a nursery rhyme."

"If you want to achieve great things, you must have soldiers and horses in your hands."

"To put it in a rebellious way, when the emperor raised troops from Qingren County, he had a hundred thousand black armored troops in his hands. Now the prince has...only the government soldiers."

It is impossible to be an emperor without force. Li Chengdao secretly trained the Black Armor Army back then, and then took advantage of the opportunity to enter the capital to face the saints and raid Jinling City to calm the world in one fell swoop.

In contrast to Li Zhaoliang, there are only more than 100 soldiers in the palace, and they are all weak people.

When selecting the government soldiers, Li Zhaoliang deliberately selected some old and weak soldiers, just to reassure Li Chengdao.

Now it is necessary to employ people, only to find that it is too weak.

Huairen said: "I have contacted people of insight in the court, there are more than 100 people, and they have family soldiers in their hands."

At these times, newcomers joined, and the number of family soldiers of these people totaled more than 3000.

Yu Fuguo said helplessly, "Lord Huai, there are still [-] forbidden troops and [-] garrison troops in Jinling City. I'm afraid we can't rely on family soldiers alone."

Huairen was a little helpless, and said: "Then what should we do? It is impossible to train troops temporarily now, and when the soldiers and horses are trained, who knows what the situation will be?"

Li Zhaoliang was also very anxious, and asked, "If Eunuch Yu said so, he must have plans."

Yu Fuguo said: "I don't have any plans, it's just an idea."

Huairen immediately asked: "Eunuch, please tell me."

Yu Fuguo said: "It is said that stones from other mountains can attack jade, and it is definitely not good to train soldiers at this time."

"What our family means is to use the forbidden army and the garrison army to revolt."

Li Zhaoliang and Huairen were dumbfounded when they heard this, feeling that Yu Fuguo was telling a joke.

Relying on the forbidden army and the garrison to claim the throne, it is better to surrender yourself.
