"What are you going to do?!"
"Archery!"
"Whoosh~~~"
"I surrender! I surrender!!"
Just when the two sides encountered each other, Xun Biao, the captain of the city gate, dropped the weapon in his hand and knelt down aside to express his surrender.
Next to him was the body of the Marquis of Chengmen, with seven or eight feather arrows stuck in his body. Blood flowed across it and soon reached Xun Biao's feet, but Xun Biao did not dare to move.
The Chinese army quickly seized control of the city gates, and even the gate lords of several city gates were not at their posts at all. They were scattered somewhere at this moment.
It would be unbelievable for such a thing to happen in other dynasties, but it is not surprising that it happened in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
After all, this is a half-crazy era.
The officers and soldiers of the Chinese army quickly took control of all the gates of Luoyang City and enforced the ban.
Xia Houxian sat in a chariot and led many soldiers into Luoyang City.
When these tens of thousands of people rushed into Luoyang from various city gates, the whole of Luoyang was in a panic.
The people fled in panic, and the soldiers also shouted loudly, telling everyone to return to the house and not go out. The lieutenants led their soldiers and began to establish their respective jurisdictions. The soldiers rushed into one street after another, Soldiers stopped and guarded all road intersections.
Xia Houxian's chariot charged rapidly on the road to Luoyang, and several generals followed him on horseback.
Following Xiahou Xian was the most elite backbone camp.
When he heard the sound of soldiers outside, Zhong Yu subconsciously felt something was wrong. He hurriedly led people out of the door, but as soon as he walked out, he saw someone standing in front of the door, staring at him with a smile.
"Zhang Hua? What are you doing here?"
"Of course I'm keeping an eye on Mr. Zhong to prevent you from doing anything bad."
Zhang Hua smiled, and dozens of warriors around him raised their crossbows.
He pointed the crossbow at Zhong Yu.
Zhong Yu frowned. These people didn't look like soldiers, but like street knights.
But not all of them, some of them are dressed as officials.
In the distance, the soldiers can be seen moving forward, getting closer and closer to here.
Zhong Yu seemed to understand something, "How long have you been standing here?"
"After I came out of your mansion, I sent people to stay here and keep an eye on you. After I went to see the people, I came here. While you were discussing important matters in the mansion, all the people you sent out were already here. I was subdued."
Zhong Yu looked at these rangers and suddenly wanted to laugh.
"You are really so greedy that you even want to use these villains? How did they get their powerful crossbows?"
Zhang Hua smiled and said nothing.
He led everyone, approaching step by step, and forced Zhong Yu back into the mansion, with Zhang Hua blocking the door.
"You'd better wait here."
"Surround the Chancellor's Desk!"
Xia Houxian raised the sword in his hand high, and the soldiers immediately surrounded the Chancellor's desk, blocking the way.
The noise outside had already attracted the attention of the officials inside the stage.
At this moment, Gao Rou led the ministers out and saw the densely packed soldiers outside. It was completely unclear how many there were. Wherever his eyes could touch, there were all the soldiers with fierce faces.
Gao Rou's face was pale and his whole body was shaky. This time, he finally didn't pretend. He really couldn't accept it.
What happened to these soldiers?
Why does Xia Houxian appear here?
Where are our people?
Countless thoughts appeared in his mind, but there was no answer.
Xia Houxian just stood on the carriage, lowered his head, and looked at these ministers.
Cui Zan looked at him, then at Zhong Hui behind him, and suddenly realized something in his heart.
"We all fell into General Wei's scheme."
"He deliberately sent Zhonghui to provoke His Majesty to do such a thing and make us turn against each other, and then he would pacify the temple in the name of helping His Majesty."
Cui Zan sighed and said helplessly: "We fell into the hands of General Wei this time."
"No wonder Zhong Yu doesn't care about our behavior at all. It turns out that he arranged all of this."
Several ministers around him also nodded.
Looking at the soldiers in the distance, their eyes were full of helplessness.
However, they were not afraid. General Wei did not dare to execute them all.
Not to mention General Wei, even the general would not dare to come.
It’s just that I have put so much effort into doing so many things. Oh, it’s such a pity.
The ministers started talking at this moment, their words full of disappointment.
Gao Rou's expression was extremely ugly at this moment. He looked at Sima Fu who was standing aside. Sima Fu saw the suspicion in his eyes and said quickly: "Mr. Situ! Don't worry too much!"
"Are you worrying too much?! It's you who brought this up!!"
"Sima Fu! I thought you had changed your ways, but I never expected that you still retained such a skill!"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the ministers looking at Sima Fu suddenly became different.
Sima Fu only felt aggrieved.
He admitted that he did cooperate with Master Sima in the past, but this time, I really didn't!
How did he know such a thing would happen!
Sima Fu's face was very ugly, but he didn't explain anything.
If power returns to Sima Zhao, it will be a good thing for the entire Sima family. Although his lineage may be suppressed, Sima Zhao will not show mercy to him, but for the sake of the whole, he is willing to sacrifice.
Xia Houxian looked at the ministers in front of him and felt very angry.
He didn't expect that the officials would dare to despise him so much.
He had surrounded them, but they still dared to secretly conspire here?
This is not taking yourself seriously at all!
Just when he was about to give the order, Wang Xiang suddenly came out and paid homage to Xiahou.
"Greetings to Mr. Xiahou. I wonder why you are here?"
When Xia Houxian saw Wang Xiang, his eyes became even fiercer.
"I was seriously ill at the beginning, and you kindly sent me back to your home. Today I have recovered from my serious illness, so I came out to express my gratitude."
Hearing Xiahou Xian's words, Wang Xiang hurriedly explained: "Xiahou Xian, if it weren't for this serious illness, you wouldn't have received this general seal."
The ministers looked at Wang Xiang with a half-smile but not a smile. The ministers were not afraid of Sima Zhao. Sima Zhao would not kill them all, but it was hard to say about the three giants who were provoking trouble.
Sima Fu was probably arranged by Sima Zhao, and he will be fine.
That is Gao Rou and Wang Xiang.
These two people usually jumped the highest, but now they were probably going to fall the hardest.
No wonder Wang Xiang couldn't wait to come out and bend his knees.
But Wang Xiang cursed in his heart at this moment, Sima Zhao, this is the emperor's conspiracy!
That Zhong Hui has been the emperor's man for a long time, and you are still talking nonsense here. Later, when you meet the emperor, I wonder if you will bend your back!
Xia Houxian narrowed his eyes and Zhong Hui whispered a few words.
"Take Gao Rou and Wang Xiang into custody, and the rest of the officials will go to the palace with me!"
The ministers did not dare to say anything. Gao Rou's face was very ugly and she did not struggle. Wang Xiang was the most bitter and kept shaking his head.
Wang Jing's face was full of worry. Could it be that His Majesty fell into a trap? Deceived by Zhong Hui?
The group of people drove slowly towards the palace.
Xia Houxian stood on the chariot and walked at the front. He looked at the ministers behind him and then at Zhong Hui beside him.
"It is better to deal with Gao Rou and others here, and say that they died for resisting, so as not to bring a bad name to His Majesty."
Zhong Hui shook his head, "Don't be reckless."
"How can you, a minister of the temple, kill you just when you say you want to?"
Zhong Hui's eyes were particularly bright, and he could even hear his own heartbeat. These people didn't understand the whole story, how could they die here?
They must die clearly!
He must let them know whose hands he died in. This drama is about to reach its climax. This coup will be remembered by future generations. This is the first step for him to become the most virtuous minister throughout the ages. !
Zhang Hua should have controlled his brother at this moment.
The ministers were like a flock of sheep at this moment, slowly walking towards the palace, complaining.
Gao Rou and others had drawn such a big pie for them before, but in the blink of an eye, the pie was gone and they became prisoners.
This was somewhat unacceptable to them.
The most unacceptable one among them should be Zheng Chong. At this moment, this old man is walking at the front of the ministers, with two soldiers guarding him closely.
Why do all the ministers make a puppet before doing anything? Of course it's just for use in case of an accident.
Zheng Chong knew without thinking that those three guys would pour dirty water on themselves to reduce their punishment.
Zheng Chong was originally a little old man who had nothing to do with the world. He just wanted to pursue his own knowledge in peace and not get involved in temple affairs. However, he was forced to the forefront by the officials. There was no benefit at all, and he was asked to be the mastermind. .
Even with Zheng Chong's cultivation, he couldn't help but want to curse at this moment.
Should honest people be bullied like this by you? ?
Zheng Xiaotong was rescued by the soldiers. At this moment, he was a little confused. He got into the car directly. Ji Kang looked at him with a smile.
"Are you okay?"
"No problem, why are you here?"
Ji Kang shook his head, "Don't ask too much. Speaking of which, I still don't know what happened, but Zhong Shiji is quite talented. With him here, there is no need to worry about anything going wrong."
Ji Kang said, pointing to Zhong Hui in the distance.
As if there were eyes behind his back, Zhong Hui actually turned around and nodded in their direction, with a smile on his face.
Zheng Xiaotong breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that nothing bad happened."
"Where are we going now?"
"Of course I want to go to the palace. I thought about it seriously for a long time. Judging from the situation, His Majesty is probably going to take charge."
"Huh?? Your Majesty"
"Keep your voice down! Don't tell anyone about this yet!"
"I just heard someone say that you came to the Chancellery from the palace and scolded Gao Rou. Hahaha, you are a true gentleman. I have been very disrespectful to you in the past. I hope you can forgive me!"
"Don't dare, don't dare."
The ministers were finally driven all the way to the gate of the imperial city.
