The imperial city gate was slowly opened.
Wei Shu stood calmly on the city wall. His tall body made him look like the guardian spirit of the imperial city. The wind blew up his sleeves, making him even more majestic.
The ministers were driven into the imperial city by the soldiers like cattle and sheep.
A minister raised his head and looked at Wei Shu on the city wall.
Cui Zan couldn't help but said: "It seems that Xin Chang has surrendered to General Wei a long time ago."
"We only wanted to let Xin Chang persuade Yang Hu to surrender, but we forgot that Yang Hu could also persuade him to surrender!"
All the ministers sighed.
At this moment, Xia Houxian was standing not far away, watching these people enter the palace one by one.
Sima Qian stood beside him, looking even happier than Zhong Hui.
If he had doubts about Xia Houxian's behavior before, but after seeing the reactions of the officials, he really believed it.
Even the ministers said this, can it be false?
It seems that the second brother was afraid that he would think too much, so he did not tell him.
The way he looked at Xia Houxian and Zhong Hui was suddenly different.
"Xiahou Gong Zhonggong, what should we do next?"
Zhong Hui glanced at him. Sima Qian and the ministers confirmed their suspicions to each other. After seeing Sima Qian, the ministers firmly believed that it was Sima Zhao who did it. After hearing what the ministers said, Sima Qian firmly believed that it was his brother.
This fool's value can't be reached, that's all.
Zhong Hui suddenly laughed, and the look he looked at Sima Qian became much gentler.
"Sima Jun, yes, I was originally worried that these things would fail because of you, and I also advised General Wei not to let you know too much, so as not to leak it."
"Now it seems that I misjudged the person."
"You didn't hinder my big things. Instead, you contributed a lot. At your age, it's really good to be able to do this."
After being praised by Zhong Hui, Sima Qian felt flattered.
He knew Zhong Hui's temper, even his second brother didn't hear anything good from Zhong Hui, and he was often ridiculed by him with various metaphors.
He was such a person that no one looked down upon, but he was actually being kind and gentle to him today.
Sima Qian hurriedly said: "I don't dare to talk about contributing, as long as it doesn't hinder me."
"Well, of course there is no hindrance."
"The next thing is the most important thing. My brother is already ready to try everyone in court. Business is business. Do you understand?"
Even if Sima Qian didn't understand at the moment, he still had to nod.
Seeing him nodding, Zhong Hui asked: "Then you know what to do?"
Sima Qian was stunned and said quickly: "Idiots don't dare to make rash guesses. Please give me your instructions."
Zhong Hui ordered: "After punishing the ministers, their positions need to be filled by someone. Let's summon the captains of the various ministries and let them pretend to take the key positions in the court. The Shangshulang of Shangshutai and Zhongshu cannot Let me out again."
"Then we will wait for General Wei to come back. By the way, there is another dirty thing to do."
"This matter is for the Sima family, you must handle it!"
Sima Qian shuddered, he had already thought of what this matter was.
We are going to take action against the emperor!
At this moment, Sima Qian already had great trust in Zhong Hui.
After the officials were driven into the palace, Zhong Hui looked at Xia Houxian and said, "General, let's wait for the captains first and give my brother some time. Let him help the emperor deal with the traitors first, and then take advantage of the opportunity to replace him. them."
"good."
Xia Houxian did not refuse, and some soldiers went around to summon the captain. Zhong Hui also recruited a few cronies, gave them instructions, and conspired in person, but no one dared to come over and eavesdrop.
Sima Qian stood in the crowd, looked at Zhong Hui in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh: "Zhong Gong is really the remaining prince of my great Wei Dynasty!"
"With such a strategy, we were able to capture all the ministers in the temple. It's really impressive!"
Xia Houxian glanced at him, "Don't worry, there will be something more emotional later."
While everyone was waiting for the captain, the officials had already been escorted into the palace.
Immediately, the guards in the palace took over these ministers and escorted them all the way towards Tai Chi Hall.
When the ministers arrived at the Tai Chi Hall, Man Changwu stood in the way.
Man Changwu loudly said Cao Mao's edict: "Your Majesty is in Zhaoyang, and all ministers can go there!"
The ministers complained. After walking all the way, everyone was very old. Why did Sima Zhao torment himself so much?
When the ministers arrived at the Zhaoyang Hall, they saw Xin Chang standing at the entrance of the Zhaoyang Hall, with many soldiers around him. His face was full of bitterness.
Zheng Chong looked at him and shook his head, his eyes full of disappointment.
Seeing the fate of the ministers, Xin Chang knew immediately that the situation was over.
Sima Zhao's army entered Luoyang, and the ministers completely lost power. He wanted to leave, but the soldiers on the side stopped him.
"Your Majesty has ordered you to stay here to protect the Queen Mother."
"Your Majesty's edict? Didn't you see that General Wei's people are here?"
Xin Chang just wanted to curse at people. Are these soldiers crazy?
The soldier said coldly: "Please do as you please."
Xin Chang took a deep breath and looked at the ministers with a dark face, "Your Majesty has an edict, and the ministers have done it!!"
Everyone was shocked and looked at each other. Wang Xiang reacted the fastest and was the first to kneel in front of Zhaoyang Palace. "I am guilty! Your Majesty, please punish me!"
Only then did the ministers react, and they all knelt down in the direction of Zhaoyang Palace.
"I am guilty!!"
"Your Majesty, please punish me!!"
Xin Chang remembered the emperor's instructions and reminded: "You can apologize to the Queen Mother!"
The ministers changed their words and shouted again: "I am guilty!! Please punish the Queen Mother!!"
In the Zhaoyang Palace, Queen Mother Guo's face was red. She was sitting in the upper position, trembling all over. The ministers were really asking for forgiveness outside at this moment.
Cao Mao told her at the beginning that he would make all the officials kneel down outside the Zhaoyang Palace to apologize to her.
Queen Mother Guo was very happy, but she just felt that Cao Mao was coaxing her.
Unexpectedly, he actually did it!
The ministers who usually looked down upon them and looked down upon them were kneeling outside the palace gate and begging themselves to forgive them.
If Cao Mao hadn't reminded her, she would have wanted to go out now and take a good look at the faces of the ministers.
The ministers just knelt and sat outside Zhaoyang Hall.
After all, they were old and had traveled a long distance, so the ministers were a little unable to bear it at this moment.
Just as they were waiting impatiently, footsteps came from behind.
The ministers quickly turned around, only to see a chariot heading in their direction.
But the person coming was not Xiahou Xian, because the chariot was completely different from Xiahou Xian's chariot, and it was impossible for Xiahou Xian's chariot to drive into the imperial city.
A young man stood on the chariot. He was wearing armor and holding a long sword, with a resolute look on his face.
This person is Cao Mao.
Cao Mao was majestic and unparalleled at this moment.
The moment he saw the armor, Gao Rou's expression changed, his eyes suddenly became frightened, and he almost fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment.
Zheng Chong's expression wasn't much better, his chest was rising and falling, and he was stunned.
Sima Fu's face was stunned.
The ministers had never seen the emperor wearing armor, let alone Cao Mao looking so powerful.
They were all a little stunned at this moment.
Wang Jing's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.
Wang Xiang looked at the emperor who had come from afar, but fell silent, with some complexity in his eyes.
He is indeed my favorite disciple.
The chariot passed by the ministers. The ministers did not dare to get up, so Cao Mao came to the front of the ministers.
He stood on the chariot and looked at the ministers in front of him. The ministers saw the general beside him, who was Yang Hu.
Yang Hu didn't know why the emperor insisted on wearing Emperor Wu's armor.
But since he wanted to do this, Yang Hu could only get it for him.
Cao Mao looked at this scene that was completely different from the future. It was still a familiar chariot, a familiar armor, and a familiar long sword. The difference was that no one dared to glare at him anymore. All the ministers were kneeling in front of him. .
Cao Mao looked at the ministers in front of him one by one, not hiding his hostility at all.
The ministers were shocked by Cao Mao just now, but now they came to their senses.
What prestige are you pretending to have here?
You are nothing more than a knife in Sima Zhao's hand.
What kind of prestige are you trying to show here? You're still wearing armor, do you want to kill someone?
Why do you think Sima Zhao didn't dare to touch you? It’s not because of our virtuous ministers.
Now you help Sima Zhao to kill us all. Let’s see how you live in the future. Sima Zhao will not take our lives, but will be the first to take your life!
Most of the ministers were a little angry, but they didn't dare to show up at this moment.
Xin Chang was also in despair at the moment. Why couldn't His Majesty understand?
At this moment, a large group of people from a distance finally came over. Xia Houxian led the generals and walked quickly towards here. Zhong Hui was standing among the crowd. He saw the emperor standing on the chariot. His eyes lit up.
When everyone arrived here, they did not pass by the ministers, but just stood behind them.
Sima Qian was a little excited at the moment and was looking around.
Not long after, Zhong Yu appeared here with two officials, one of whom was Zhang Hua. He walked slowly towards this side with a straight face.
Sima Qian was overjoyed and hurriedly came forward to pay his respects.
Zhong Yu just frowned, looking directly past him and looking at his brother.
Zhong Hui couldn't bear it anymore, he threw his head back and laughed.
"Xiao Xing! Let's do it!"
At this moment, Ma Long gave an order, and the surrounding soldiers rushed forward. Sima Gan was pushed to the ground before he could react. The other captains were also subdued quickly at this moment, and they had no chance to fight back. .
"What's going on? What's going on?!"
Sima Qian was shocked, not only him, but also the officials were shocked at this moment.
Why were the Sima family members arrested? ?
After losing the military support, these people had no resistance at all.
After subduing these people, Zhong Hui exhaled and walked quickly towards the emperor.
Walking in front of the chariot, Zhong Hui bowed and saluted.
"Your Majesty!! All traitors will be brought to justice!!"
"Please issue an edict!!"
Gao Rou trembled and slowly looked at the emperor on the chariot.
The entire Zhaoyang Hall suddenly became silent.
All the ministers trembled all over.
Could it be that
Cao Mao raised the sword in his hand and pointed it at Gao Rou.
"Old thief!!!"
"Do you still dare to despise the king?!"
