Everyone strongly agreed: "Yes, King Zhen, the opportunity in front of you is once in a thousand years. If you don't know what to do now, when will you wait?"
All the courtiers under King Zhen tried their best to persuade him, hoping that King Zhen would change his mind, but no matter what they said, King Zhen had only one sentence in the end: "This matter is not as simple as you imagined, and besides, with our current strength, it is not easy at all. It may be successful. This battle is too important. If you succeed, you will become famous. If you lose, you will be powerless. If I am not fully sure, I will not send troops to attack Her Majesty the Queen. As for everyone, you should do your own things first. .”
All the courtiers looked at each other and had no choice but to give up.
Ling Shizi heard the words of the courtiers clearly from behind, and he also felt that this opportunity was very rare, and he must let King Zhen agree to this matter. Although those courtiers gave up, Ling Shizi was not the kind who would give up lightly. His ambition to be the King of Southern Chu is so great that he would give up easily. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he, Prince Ling, must seize it tightly and never let go of any opportunity. King of Southern Chu, that is his dream. In this position, he must persuade King Zhen to overthrow Her Majesty the Queen.
After all the courtiers left, Ling Shizi came out from behind and knelt down in front of King Zhen.
King Zhen was very surprised: "Shizi Ling, what are you doing, get up quickly."
I saw Ling Shizi persistently said: "Prince Zhen, please agree to send troops to attack Her Majesty the Queen. If you don't agree, I will not be able to kneel forever!"
During the past few days with King Zhen, Ling Shizi felt more and more that King Zhen's softness and gentleness were really virtuous and virtuous compared to the cruelty of Her Majesty the Queen. For the position of the King of Nanchu, his son Ling obeyed Her Majesty the Queen, but who knew that Her Majesty was so infatuated with Nanjin, he had no choice but to find King Zhen. Since he could not be Her Majesty's husband, then he Help King Zhen to overthrow Her Majesty's regime, let King Zhen ascend the throne, and then he can still be the King of Southern Chu.
Ling Shizi has already thought up a complete set of perfect plans in his heart, and even thought about how to deal with the defeated Her Majesty the Queen, but now everything is ready, and only the east wind is owed. As long as King Zhen promises to overthrow Her Majesty the Queen, then his plan can be implemented step by step. Thinking of this, Ling Shizi personally went to persuade King Zhen, no matter what tricks he used, he, Ling Shizi, would succeed in persuading His Majesty Zhen Wang to agree to send troops to seize power.
Unexpectedly, King Zhen said helplessly: "Young Master Ling, please hurry up and get up. You heard it just now, and my courtiers' persuasion did not move me in the slightest, so don't waste your energy in vain. It's a big deal, and it's not something you can solve if you can't afford to kneel like this."
Hearing the words, Ling Shizi had no choice but to get up, but he still didn't give up, and said to King Zhen: "Prince Zhen, do you know why I took refuge in you? Besides, King Zhen, you have been keeping yourself safe for the past few years, but Her Majesty the Queen has been oppressing you, not only reducing your military strength, but also reducing your territory. If this continues, your life will be endangered in the next step, King Zhen, you really Are you willing to be oppressed like this?"
King Zhen's heart was suddenly shaken. Her Majesty the Queen has indeed treated herself a little too much these years.
"It's just that although Her Majesty has been reducing my influence, it is also to eradicate future troubles. After all, I am the greatest threat to her, and it is reasonable for him to do so. Besides, if Her Majesty wanted to kill me, she would have killed me. Why bother?" I've been thinking about it, I've figured it out over the years, it's good to be King Zhen, you don't have to worry about political affairs, and you can be at ease, does Ling Shizi say that's the case?" King Zhen said warmly.
Seeing King Zhen's heart, Ling Shizi still refused to give up, and continued to persuade: "Prince Zhen, you have been oppressed by Her Majesty the Queen and have lost your ambitions. Don't you understand? It's Her Majesty who is obliterating you little by little. ah!"
However, King Zhen was still cowardly and fearful because of being oppressed by Her Majesty the Queen all the year round. Although he had the heart of rebellion, he had no courage to fight. So King Zhen still denied this idea, and said to Ling Shizi: "It's not that I don't want to resist with soldiers, but now that Her Majesty's regime is very stable and full of troops, if I attack her, I don't have full confidence. I have been oppressing me for 20 years, and my military strength is far from hers, if I fail, there will really be no chance of standing up."
Seeing that Prince Zhen was already a little tempted, Ling Shizi did not dare to raise troops due to the pressure of His Majesty the Queen, so he made up his mind that he must do something to make King Zhen resolutely rebel against His Majesty the Queen, but how to make King Zhen make up his mind is hard to come by. Only when Her Majesty the Queen touches King Zhen's bottom line, King Zhen will unhesitatingly dislike the banner of resistance, and Shizi Ling will have the chance to become the King of Southern Chu that he has always dreamed of.
After much deliberation, Ling Shizi finally came up with a perfect plan.
King Zhen has a piece of clothing that he likes very much. He is only willing to wear it every festival. It must be very precious. If...
Taking advantage of King Zhen's absence, Ling Shizi sneaked into King Zhen's room, rummaged through the closet, and finally found the precious dress. He saw that the dress was gorgeous and eye-catching. It was not made of ordinary materials at first glance. It was the pearl inlay, there were dozens of them, but for the great cause, Ling Shizi had no choice but to do something to offend King Zhen first. He took out a small white bottle and sprinkled a lot of colorless poisonous powder on it , and then put it back in its original form. "Prince Zhen, you believe so much that Her Majesty the Queen will not harm you, this time I want to see if you still believe her, haha..."
Then he ordered someone to tell King Zhen that Her Majesty the Queen would return to the city tomorrow and asked King Zhen to put on that precious dress and go out of the city to meet Her Majesty the Queen. King Zhen agreed without thinking too much.
Seeing King Zhen agreeing without even thinking about it, Ling Shizi was filled with joy, but he still pretended to be puzzled and said: "Prince Zhen, it sounds like this dress is very precious. I wonder if I am lucky enough to appreciate it?"
King Zhen smiled and said: "It's just a piece of clothing, but it is indeed my favorite one. Since you want to see it, then I will take you to have a look."
After speaking, he led Shizi Ling to his room.
