Chapter 396: Li Rubing joins the gang

Crown Prince Zhang Lin inherited the throne. As Zhang Lin's die-hard supporters, Zhang Chuan and Sima Chong will definitely be valued. In this way, if Li Rubing wants to shake Zhang Chuan's position as the general, it will become even more impossible. So Li Rubing is very worried now. He really doesn't want to travel than Zhang Chuan. He still has great ambitions and longing for the position of the number one in the Zhao military.

Just when Li Rubing was at a loss, a letter from Situ Zhuangping came to him. Zhuang Ping invited him to pass the mansion. Li Rubing realized that this might be his last chance, so Li Rubing resolutely decided to go to the appointment. At the agreed time, at the midnight of the night, he knocked on the door of Situ Mansion on time. What Li Rubing didn't expect was that he not only met Situ Zhuangping, but also met the son of the old King Zhao, the younger brother of the new King Zhao, and Zhang Xian, the Marquis of Yunzhong of the dynasty. Li Rubing soon realized that the person who invited him tonight was actually not Zhuang Ping, but Zhang Xian, and Zhang Xian must have had some plans to secretly meet the important generals in the army at this sensitive time.

After greeting each other, everyone sat down. As soon as they sat down, Zhang Xian said to Li Rubing: "General Li seemed to be surprised to see this marquis!"

Li Rubing nodded and said, "Yes, now that the previous king has passed away, the Marquis, as the parent and child of the previous king, naturally has to manage the national funeral, but now he appears here late at night, which really surprised me!"

Zhang Xian smiled, then a hint of gloom appeared on his face, and he sighed and said, "I want to manage the national funeral for my father, but someone will not give me a chance. In fact, the person who invited the general tonight was not Lord Situ, but me!"

Li Rubing nodded. He knew who would not give Zhang Xian the chance to manage the national demise, but Li Rubing would not say it. It would be enough for everyone to understand such a thing. There is no need to make it clear. What Li Rubing cares more about is what Zhang Xian wants to do to invite him?

Seeing that Li Rubing seemed not surprised, Zhang Xian knew that Li Rubing had probably guessed it, so he did not make any politeness. Instead, he said: "The King praised General Li many times before his death, saying that General Li was the first military leader in the Great Zhao Dynasty since General Zhao Xin. Unfortunately, because of General Zhao Xin's last order, the King had to enthrone Zhang Chuan as a general. Since Zhang Chuan defeated the Central Plains, the King began to regret it. He once threatened to withdraw Zhang Chuan's position as General Li and let General Li take over the military power of the Great Zhao Dynasty. However, the King passed away before he finished all this, so that General Li has not yet obtained the status he deserves. This Marquis really feels worthless for General Li!"

Zhang Xian put a high hat on Li Rubing as soon as he came up. Li Rubing knew all this, but I have to say that Zhang Xian's words reached Li Rubing's heart, so he sighed and said, "Thank you for your concern. Although I am a little unwilling to accept it, everything has become a foregone conclusion. Even if I am unwilling to accept it, I can only accept reality. In fact, as long as I serve Da Zhao, there is no difference between having the position of the general and not having the position of the general!"

Although Li Rubing seemed indifferent in words, Zhang Xian and Zhuang Ping still heard a strong sense of reluctance from it, so both of them laughed. Zhang Xian said, "Since that's the case, why doesn't General Li fight for himself anymore? Don't say that there is no chance, now I will give General Li a chance!"

"Opportunity? What opportunity? Please tell me clearly!" Li Rubing didn't understand Zhang Xian's words, so he asked!

This time, Zhang Xian did not respond, but gave Zhuang Ping a wink. Zhang Xian didn't need to say anything about the next thing, just leave it to Zhuang Ping.

Zhuang Ping knew it and smiled and said to Li Rubing: "General Li should know that the Marquis was the favorite prince of the previous kings, and the former king had planned to depose the Crown Prince Zhang Lin many times and make the Marquis the Crown Prince. The reason why he failed to accomplish this was because of the opposition of General Zhao Xin and Mi Xiang."

Li Rubing nodded. Although he had been in the army for a long time, he had heard of these rumors. However, he was just a general under Zhao Xin at that time. Zhao Xin supported Zhang Lin, with Zhao Xin here. Even if Zhang Xian was so outstanding, as long as Zhao Xin did not nod, he would not want to take the position of prince, so Li Rubing didn't care about these things.

Seeing that Li Rubing did not object to his statement, Zhuang Ping continued: "After General Zhao Xin's death, the previous king had already become interested in Yi Chu, but the sudden death of the previous king made this matter unfulfilled. Now Mi Fang took out a so-called will of the previous king and passed the throne to Zhang Lin. This was contrary to the original intention of the previous king, so neither the official nor the marquis would admit this will!"

Although Zhuang Ping had told Zhang Xian that in order not to fight for a while, he temporarily admitted the fact that Zhang Lin succeeded to the throne, but in front of Li Rubing again, in order to stand firm in his righteousness, Zhuang Ping had to deny that the will was true.

"Mr. Situ said that this will be false? But why didn't Lord Situ and the Marquis come up?" This shocked Li Rubing. He didn't expect that the will of the former kings who convinced all the civil and military officials of the court were actually false. If all this was true, then the person who forged this will be really bold. Li Rubing could probably guess who it was. Except for the prime minister Mi Fang of the dynasty, there would be no one else. But what puzzled Li Rubing was that since Zhuang Ping and Zhang Xian thought the will was false, why didn't they mention it when they were read? But until now, he quietly told himself?

Zhuang Ping shook his head and said, "Mi Fang is the prime minister of the dynasty and has a high prestige. Since he has determined that the will is true, most of the civil and military officials in the dynasty will admit it. Moreover, Zhang Lin has the support of Zhang Chuan and Sima Chong, the two generals in the army. Even if this official and the marquis propose it in public, it will be useless. It will even be taken down by Mi Fang in public. Therefore, we choose not to issue it. However, this official and the marquis still will not recognize the authenticity of the will. Therefore, I hope General Li can help this official and the marquis to correct the situation!"

"Remedy the trouble? How to correct the trouble?" Li Rubing was still shocked, so he did not continue to investigate what Zhuang Ping said, but asked how to correct the trouble.

Zhuang Ping glanced at Zhang Xian and said solemnly: "Military, take down Mi Fang and Zhang Lin and get back everything that belongs to him for the Marquis. Jie Shi, the position of General Li belongs to General Li!"

"What! Mutiny? This is impossible. No one has ever done anything since Zhao Liguo!" After hearing Zhuang Ping's words, Li Rubing was very shocked. He thought that Zhang Xian and Zhuang Ping would take some extreme actions to correct the so-called trouble in his heart, but they didn't expect that they actually wanted to mutiny. This was simply crazy.

"Nothing is impossible. Although no one has ever succeeded in mutiny, it is because they do not have a strong support. Li Rubing is the first person in the army, with countless elite soldiers and generals under his command. As long as General Li can raise his arms and shout, all the soldiers in the army will follow. Besides, General Li must also know the relationship between Zhang Chuan, Sima Chong and other veteran generals and Zhang Lin? As long as Zhang Lin sits on the throne for one day, General Li will not want to replace Zhang Chuan and become the general of the dynasty and hold military power.

To help the Marquis make trouble, this is General Li's only chance. Unless General Li is always under Zhang Chuan and Sima Chong, he will not be able to move. As long as General Li is willing to help the Marquis, as long as the Marquis takes back the throne, the position of General Li belongs to General Li. Please consider it carefully!" Seeing that Li Rubing disagreed, Zhuang Ping immediately analyzed the pros and cons for Li Rubing, and also pointed out what the situation Li Rubing faces once Zhang Lin holds the throne, which made Li Rubing hesitate.

Li Rubing was a little moved. It is true that, as Zhuang Ping said, the mutinies in history basically lacked the support of a strong military force, and he had the support of a group of generals in the army. As long as he could lead them, Li Rubing could still pull up a team of thousands of people in this Jinyang City. As long as he operated properly, he could hit the target with one blow, and there was still a lot of potential. Moreover, Zhang Xian might be nok, as long as the situation was accomplished, the general's throne would be his own, so Li Rubing was silent.

When Zhuang Ping and Zhang Xian saw that Li Rubingmo remained silent and fell into silence, they were not in a hurry, because they believed that Li Rubing would make a correct decision, so they waited quietly.

After a long time, Li Rubing raised his head and said to Zhuang Ping and Zhang Xian with a firm look on his face: "Mr. Situ and the Marquis are right. Since the will is fake, then the king Zhang Lin is naturally fake, so it is imperative to calm down the trouble. Li Rubing is willing to help the Marquis and Lord Situ with help. I wonder if the Marquis and Lord Situ have already made plans in their minds?"
