Sima Qian looked at Xia Houxian in horror.
The generals who came here at this moment were also stunned after seeing this scene.
Some of them looked at each other a few times, a little confused.
What's happening here? Didn’t you say that the prince should come?
Sima Qian immediately shouted loudly: "Zhong Hui! We only obey the orders of General Wei! Whose order are you following?"
"Stupid! Can't you see it now?!"
Zhong Hui looked at Sima Qian with a straight face, eyes full of disappointment.
"Who gave me my sect?!"
"Who gave him the position of Captain Ma?"
"How did Xiahou Gong come from Hebei?"
"Now, His Majesty is threatened by the rebels in the court and is imprisoned in the palace! Luoyang is in chaos! General Wei is away and cannot intervene in this matter in time. Shouldn't Duke Xiahou lead an army to attack the rebels?"
Sima Qian was a little dizzy.
Zhong Hui's position was given by his second brother, and Ma Long was arranged by his second brother. Without his second brother's nod, Xiahou Xian would not have been able to arrive in Luoyang. But now that the ministers and the emperor were at war, and his second brother was not in Luoyang, let the clan take the lead and directly Suppress the ministers, take down the emperor as well, and then take back the power? ?
Zhong Hui did not say what the plan was, he just told what happened, and these were all the truth. He just wanted the other party to think about it based on these truths.
Sima Qian still felt something was wrong.
If Ma Long and Zhong Hui are both his own people, why didn't the second brother tell him?
This is not right, something is wrong!
When Zhong Hui saw Sima Qian who was still hesitating, his face became even more angry, "Okay, okay!"
"Since you don't obey, then I won't care. I'll ask General Sima to personally come forward to attack the traitors in the court!"
"Now the ministers have gone to the palace. If you delay the time and miss the opportunity, haha, you will be responsible for everything!"
Sima Qian wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Sima Xun beside him.
Sima Xun was doubtful. He didn't know as much as Sima Gan, and he didn't know how to solve it. At this moment, a school captain who had been very close to the Sima family in recent days stood behind Sima Gan.
"General, I think Zhong Hui has something to say."
"This position is just a fictitious one. All the generals are ours. Even if Xiahou Xian is appointed as the general protecting the army, we still have the final say in the Chinese army. We can order everyone to deal with him at any time."
"When Wang Guan came here earlier, he obviously really wanted to seize power. If he missed the opportunity, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for us."
Hearing this confidant's words, Sima Qian looked bitter and said in a low voice: "You don't know something. This Zhong Hui is the most cunning one. I'm afraid of being deceived by him."
"We have cleaned up the generals arranged by the ministers and replaced them with our people. What are you worried about? We will follow them. If something is really wrong, we will directly order the generals to take down them!"
"Malong is only a battalion, how can it oppose us?"
After hearing these words, Sima Qian finally felt at ease, yes.
After the Wang Guan incident, Sima Qian suddenly realized that there was something wrong with those from wealthy families in the army, that is, those with the surnames Xun, Wang, and Gao.
These people clearly wanted to wait until Wang Guan arrived and directly force themselves to approve without giving themselves the possibility to defend themselves.
After realizing this, Sima Qian decided to take action first.
He relied on his confidants with the surname Sima and other surnames around him to take care of these people. Now they are still tied up in the tent and guarded by soldiers.
According to the opinions of his confidants, he promoted a group of real talents to occupy various important positions.
Now the Chinese army staying in Luoyang can almost be said to be completely under their control!
Do we still need to worry about an airborne temporary commander in this situation?
If this guy really has ulterior motives, wouldn't it be better to just call on everyone to get rid of him? These generals are all members of their own family, will they still obey the orders of a temporary commander?
Sima Qian gained courage and looked at his confidant Li Zhao approvingly.
"Colonel Li still understands justice and is a loyal minister in the temple!"
He looked at Zhong Hui and quickly put on a smile, "Mr. Zhong, we are willing to accept the appointment!"
As soon as Sima Qian bowed his head, the other people named Sima naturally did not dare to say anything and expressed their acceptance one after another.
Only then did Zhong Hui hold the edict in hand and formally announced the order.
Xiahou Xian put on his armor, put on his armor, and held the General Seal Tiger Talisman.
By this time, Xia Houxian felt a little dizzy.
Xiahou Xian is the grandson of Xiahou Dun and the grandson of Cao Cao.
He had commanded the Chinese army in the past, but since Cao Rui temporarily changed the edict, he was imprisoned in disguise and lived a life of darkness.
When he came to Luoyang this time, he never thought that one day he would regain command of the Chinese army.
Until now, when he looked at the captains saluting in front of him and the General Seal Tiger Talisman in their hands, he finally believed this.
At this moment, the old man's temperament suddenly underwent a shocking change.
He seemed to have returned to decades ago, and his eyes became sharp.
"Chinese Army! Listen to my orders!"
"Infantry, the Second Battalion of Shesheng immediately sealed off the capital and many surrounding county checkpoints and conducted strict inspections! No one is allowed to enter or exit!"
Ji Kang and Sima Xun came out and saluted Xiahou Xian.
"only!!"
"The military guards, the backbone, and the three battalions of the central guards, follow us into the city!"
"Yueqi and Tunqi stick to the camp and listen to my orders!"
Xia Houxian quickly issued the edict, and all the captains agreed.
Hearing this arrangement, Sima Qian didn't think much. He looked at his cronies. Although he didn't speak, everyone understood what he meant.
The Chinese army camp immediately became lively. The captains rode their horses and walked towards their own camps. Some generals shouted, the soldiers gathered in a hurry, and there were horses neighing in the distance.
The camp, which had been in a state of deathly silence, came to life, and there was a buzz of people everywhere.
Zhong Hui stood behind Xia Houxian, his face looked a little sickly pale.
This paleness is not due to fear, but due to excitement.
It is no coincidence that the ministers suddenly attacked His Majesty.
This is something that my eldest brother has single-handedly facilitated.
As early as when the elder brother said those words in front of Wang Xiang, Zhong Hui knew what the elder brother was thinking.
The eldest brother wants to sit on a mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers, watching the emperor fight with his ministers. When they are both defeated, he will lead the army to clean up the mess and make General Wei become a general again.
This is a great idea, great!
I think so too. Now I am leading a group of generals from the Sima family to kill the ministers and lead them to defect to the emperor.
Zhong Hui's eyes became more and more fanatical. Faced with such adversity and situation, who else but me could achieve this? !
I will assist the Holy King! !
He really wanted to see his brother's expression when he learned all this.
Xia Houxian suddenly looked at him at this moment, "Shiji, what should we do later?"
Zhong Hui's eyes suddenly sobered up, and he laughed, "After sealing off the inside and outside of the capital, we can directly attack the Shangshutai, and then take them to see His Majesty."
Xia Houxian's eyes were very suspicious, "Is it that simple?"
"I will take care of the rest, sir, don't worry."
Zhong Hui's attitude was a bit perfunctory, but Xia Houxian didn't dare to say anything more.
To Zhong Hui, Xia Houxian just wanted to exclaim: My grandfather! This young man!
When Zhong Hui and Zhang Hua led the men to kill the soldiers guarding them and then gave instructions for the next steps, Xia Houxian was already convinced.
The times are developing too fast, and those young people in the past are not comparable to those today.
Zhong Hui made a successful news move, taking advantage of Sima Qian's delay in receiving news from the city, and using some facts to directly let him convince himself by his confidants who were already around him.
At this moment, the ministers were still quarreling in the chancery.
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the mobility and efficiency of temples were extremely low.
When there was a rebellion in Yongliang, Bashu and other places, the temple supplies would always arrive in the hands of the other party on time after the whole army of his family was wiped out.
It seems that all the ministers in the Wei and Jin Dynasties were dismissed and went to work, including their historians. The historical materials they left behind have been ridiculed by future generations for thousands of years. The serious official historical materials written by the temple's historians are full of unorthodox monsters, things are contradictory, and the characters and time are completely inconsistent.
At this moment, the Shangshutai was in a smoky atmosphere, and the frightened ministers were divided into seven or eight different positions, quarreling with each other.
And this is the kind of "virtuous people" Wang Xiang expects to govern the world.
"We must contact General Wei as soon as possible. Go find Wei Ting now!"
"We can't go to Tingwei! We have to go to the General's Mansion!"
"No, we still need to appease the guarding general first!"
The ministers had different opinions. If there were not soldiers blocking the door, some people would have fled. They could come together to enjoy the blessings, but not to suffer.
A few people had even begun to show signs of dissatisfaction, tearing off their collars and muttering something to each other.
They may not be convinced, but just like Pei Xiu, they are unwilling to participate.
Looking at the chaotic situation in front of him, Wang Xiang remained silent.
Finally, Wei Wei Xin Chang hurried to the Shangshu table.
After he arrived, the officials stopped fighting.
He had already learned the seriousness of the matter from the soldiers who went to see him.
He hurriedly saluted the Third Duke, "Masters, I'm late, what should I do next?"
"Please go to the palace as quickly as possible! Re-command your subordinates, order them to open the gate of the imperial city, and then appease the guarding general and tell him not to do anything stupid."
Gao Rou quickly began to give instructions.
Xin Chang quickly accepted the order.
Gao Rou looked at Xun Yi again and said helplessly: "Mr. Xun, you still have to go to the Tingwei Mansion in person."
Xun Yi looked at Sima Fu and said, "Wouldn't it be better for the Grand Master to go?"
Sima Fu had a straight face and refused to answer the question.
Xin Chang couldn't wait any longer, he had already turned around and left.
There was suddenly silence in the Chancellor's Desk. Wang Xiang slowly stood up and said, "The situation today is different from the past."
"My lords, the current situation is the same as when the ten constant servants held the emperor hostage. We must not hesitate any longer. We will collect the central army first, and then enter the imperial city to eliminate the traitors around your majesty."
