Chapter 5
Zhao Xin dismissed his attendants, ordered Yu Huatian to guard the door, and then took out a "random top-level general card".
use!
Another golden light flashed.
The sturdy young man in armor had a resolute face and an air of dominance, and a pair of thick eyebrows like blazing fire. He looked like a mixed-race person.
Behind him was a strange weapon, similar to a spear, but with a special shape on the blade. It was a hand holding an iron pen, with the index and middle fingers of the hand holding the pen stretched out together in a sword-like shape.
"General Li Cunxiao pays homage to His Majesty!"
【Li Cunxiao】
Machiavellianism: 57
Commander: 81
War Martial Arts: Yellow Ninth Rank
Ambition: 99 [Permanent value]
Loyalty: 100 [Permanent value]
——The king is no better than Xiang, and the general is no better than Li!
Who is Li Cunxiao?
In the past, Zhao Xin had browsed relevant information about famous historical generals on the Internet.
The most powerful general in the late Tang Dynasty, General Flying Tiger!
Invincible in attack and battle, sweeping through thousands of troops, with no rivals!
During the same period, there was a fierce general named Wang Yanzhang, who ranked second in martial arts. Li Cunxiao could easily defeat him in a few rounds, and even his reputation after death could scare him away.
Unofficial history records that Li Cunxiao killed a tiger with his bare hands when he was eighteen years old. Later, there was a legend that he captured Chang'an City with only eighteen riders.
As for the later generations' comments on "Li Yuanba in the early Tang Dynasty and Li Cunxiao in the late Tang Dynasty", comparing the two, that is pure nonsense.
Li Yuanba is purely a fictional character in the novel. His prototype was just a sickly man who lived to the age of sixteen. However, Li Cunxiao left a great reputation in history books with his strength.
No general is better than Li, and no king is better than Xiang! Li, referring to him, is Li Cunxiao.
This is a person who is as famous as Overlord Xiang Yu!
In history, the ranking of peerless generals, Li Cunxiao's second place may be controversial, but he definitely deserves to be in the top three!
Zhao Xin stared at Li Cunxiao with burning eyes, inexplicably surprised.
With trembling hands, he stepped forward to support him, "General Li, please get up quickly!"
Yellow Ninth Rank is the realm of martial arts.
In the original novel, the author divides the characters into four realms: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang based on their combat power.
Each realm is further divided into nine grades, with grade nine being the lowest and grade one being the highest.
According to the system's explanation, when the value of the combat attribute exceeds 100, it enters the "yellow" realm.
Although the specific values cannot be seen, Li Cunxiao's "Yellow Ninth Rank" combat value is obviously much stronger than Yu Huatian.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Cunxiao stood up as he was told.
Zhao Xin was delighted.
He can kill the enemy on horseback and guard the enemy when he dismounts. Such a brave general can be the one to take charge of the palace guards in the future.
but……
Controlling the imperial guards is not as simple as killing Concubine Shu. He only has Yu and Li in his hands, which is not enough.
Zhao Xin called in Yu Huatian who was guarding outside the door. When the latter saw Li Cunxiao, his eyes remained calm.
However, when Li Cunxiao saw Yu Huatian, his tiger eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
"Brother Yu, would you like to spar with me?"
Both of them came from the system, possessed memories of this world, and were familiar with each other.
Li Cunxiao was a straightforward and warlike person. When he saw Yu Huatian, he wanted to fight him.
Strictly speaking, Li Cunxiao is a military general, and his martial arts are all domineering, powerful, and vigorous.
Yu Huatian, on the other hand, is more of a martial artist, focusing on moves and body movements. His "One Sword Transforms into Three" technique is even more treacherous and difficult to defend against.
The different kung fu skills made Li Cunxiao "feel the prey" and he couldn't help but feel itchy.
“…”
Zhao Xinxin said: I summoned you out just to let you find someone to fight and exchange skills?
Yu Huatian glanced at Li Cunxiao expressionlessly, standing behind Zhao Xin with a cold look on his face.
He was completely indifferent to Li Cunxiao's words.
Zhao Xin stopped Li Cunxiao's foolish behavior and sat down. "I want to seize the Imperial Guards. What are your countermeasures?"
Although Yu Huatian was ordered to establish the Western Factory, this was by no means a one-day job.
Wang Jin controlled the East Factory, the Embroidered Uniform Guard was infiltrated by him, and the Imperial Guard was controlled by the powerful prime minister and his party.
The tyrant emperor had been on the throne for more than five months, but he had no real power at all. The empress dowager, his adoptive mother, had already stripped him of his power in the Forbidden City.
Now, the Queen Mother's brother Cui Cen holds the position of Prime Minister, in charge of all government officials, and has great power in the court and the country.
Half of the officials in the court were students of Cui Cen, and their words could decide the fate of the court. The government was firmly controlled by the Cui family, the in-laws.
The tyrant emperor was just a puppet, and the imperial power had fallen into the hands of others, with no one left to rely on.
If Zhao Xin wants to control the harem, he must take control of the military power.
The Imperial Guards are undoubtedly the strongest military force in the Forbidden City.
But at this time, the imperial guards were controlled by Cui's faction.
Li Cunxiao glanced at Yu Huatian beside him with his fierce eyes, raised his thick eyebrows, patted his chest and said carelessly:
"Your Majesty, this is just a matter of imperial guards. How difficult is that? If only a few men with Brother Yu's skills could come, I would issue a military warrant and slaughter all the imperial guards in the palace in half a day!"
Zhao Xin: “…”
Do you think Yuhuatian can be wholesaled?
Even if he could wholesale, Zhao Xin would never allow this guy to kill people and spill blood in the palace.
He wants to take back power and reverse the plot, not to rebel against himself!
"Shut up!"
After Zhao Xin refuted, he turned to look at Yu Huatian, asking him what countermeasures he had.
Yu Huatian bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, compared to the Imperial Guards, I prefer to eliminate Wang Jin first. Eliminating this beast will not only gain control of the East Factory, but also gain access to spies throughout Kyoto!"
After a pause, Yu Huatian pursed his lips and pondered, "However, Wang Jin will definitely not sit idly by and wait for death, and the Queen Mother will not sit idly by and watch him be executed..."
Zhao Xin frowned slightly and concentrated on thinking.
but……
After much thought, he still couldn't come up with any plan, which made him sigh inwardly: If he had a counselor, why would it come to this?!
Otherwise, he would have no idea what to do if he just relied on himself to figure it out.
Forget it, let’s consider the plot reversal first!
There is a system. As long as you reverse the plot and have points, you can participate in the lottery!
Only then can you enhance your hard power!
Suddenly, a light flashed in Zhao Xin's mind. He stood up and said decisively, "Go to Changle Palace!"
Favoring the Empress of Changle Palace, wouldn't that be considered a plot twist?!
In the original novel, Queen Su Qingyu possesses stunning beauty and is known as the most beautiful woman in the world.
Because the Queen Mother was his adoptive mother and the emperor had been rebellious since childhood, Su Qingyu was also disliked by the Queen Mother because of the marriage she arranged, and she was never favored by the emperor.
Zhao Xin had no intention of taking over for the tyrant from the beginning. He would replace all the concubines in the harem once he came to power!
However, the Queen is not among them.
First, the queen has never been touched by a tyrant.
Second, the reputation of being the most beautiful woman in the world.
Zhao Xin wanted to go and see whether this "most beautiful woman in the world" really lived up to her title!
…
The emperor's grand move to Changle Palace soon reached the ears of other concubines.
The concubines in the harem were shocked and puzzled. The emperor first killed his favorite concubine Wei, and now he went to the queen in a high-profile manner. Why was he so out of character?
In Huayi Garden, Concubine Xian, who had already dressed up, was confused when she learned that the emperor had gone to Changle Palace.
The emperor didn't come to her, but went to the queen whom he always disliked!
"Does the Emperor still want to kill the Queen?!"
