When Grand Tutor Zhu Ji took people to check, Gou Xi, the hussar general of the Huns and Han Kingdom, had already taken control of the Chang'an city gate.
Grand Tutor Zhu Ji, along with several followers and soldiers, walked through the streets and crowds under the watchful eyes of groups of sergeants bearing the banner of Gou Xi, and finally met General Gou Xi.
Upon seeing Gou Xi, Grand Tutor Zhu Ji immediately showed a very dissatisfied face and said in a scolding tone.
"General Gou, how dare you lead troops into Chang'an without the emperor's order? Don't you know this is a serious crime!?"
As if he felt that his words were not harsh enough, Zhu Ji continued.
"Why don't you take your troops and leave the capital quickly?"
When Gou Xi heard this, his face suddenly turned cold.
To be honest, when Zhu Ji, an important minister of the Huns, came to see her, Gou Xi fantasized about Zhu Ji's countless good words to persuade or win over her.
He never expected that Zhu Ji, an old man, would scold him when he came up.
Looking at Zhu Ji's attitude, he doesn't take himself seriously at all.
Gou Xi's heart immediately surged with murderous intent.
"Gou came here under the order of Her Royal Highness the Queen, how can it be said that he did it without authorization!"
"The queen is the master of the harem, how can she take care of the affairs of the court? Don't say anything else, please lead your troops and leave as soon as possible!"
Zhu Ji said very seriously.
Even though Mr. Zhu spoke so forcefully, he was actually really panicking inside.
When he went out, Zhu Ji already knew that many Xiongnu nobles in the city were in panic all day long when they heard that Liu Yao was defeated and died.
Many people have already packed up their belongings and are preparing to flee Chang'an and go north to join the Qianghu tribe.
Even if he knew that Gou Xi had led troops into the city without authorization, Zhu Ji had no men to mobilize for a while.
"I have sent people to summon Ma Ye, Yang Wanqiu and others. After General Gou leads his troops to leave, they will take over these city gates!"
Tai Fu Zhu Ji Qiang said calmly.
The Ma Ye, Yang Wanqiu and others he mentioned were the Qiang and Hu leaders who committed riots and looting in Chang'an City.
It's pitiful that the Huns and Han kingdoms were so big that they had to use these Qiang, Hu, and cockroach thieves to scare Gou Xi.
However, after Gou Xi heard it, she laughed loudly and did not take Grand Tutor Zhu Ji's threat seriously at all.
"Hahaha, this is such a coincidence!"
Gou Xi sneered and continued.
"Gou and Taifu coincidentally coincide with each other. I have also sent people to summon Ma Ye, Yang Wanqiu and others."
When Zhu Ji heard this, he was immediately stunned.
At this moment, a soldier of Gou Xi came up to report.
"General, Ma Ye, Yang Wanqiu and others are already here!"
Gou Xi glanced at Zhu Ji proudly, and then said loudly.
"Bring them here!"
Soon, a group of Qiang and Hu generals wearing various robes and military uniforms came to Gou Xi in small steps with hurried expressions.
"Meet the General!"
When these people saw Gou Xi, they all bowed respectfully.
As for Taifu Zhu Ji and others next to them, they were not noticed at all.
Gou Xi raised her chin high and winked at the attendant beside her.
Soon, several Gou Xi's soldiers came over carrying more than a dozen bloody heads.
"These rebellious thieves have been punished by me on the spot. If you don't restrain the troops to follow my orders, the knife in Gou's hand will not stop for a moment!"
After hearing what Gou Xi said, Ma Ye, Yang Wanqiu and other Qiang and Hu leaders all loudly stated that they would resolutely follow General Gou's orders and would never dare to disobey in the slightest.
When the Taifu Zhu Ji next to him saw this scene, he immediately became very confused.
He remembered that Gou Xi's sergeants based on refugees were less than 20,000 at most, while the total strength of the Qiang and Hu leaders such as Ma Ye and Yang Wanqiu was at least 50,000.
Why are you so respectful to Gou Xi?
After seeing Ma Ye, Yang Wanqiu and other Qiang and Hu leaders all come to express their submission, Gou Xi immediately felt determined.
When he saw Taifu Zhu Ji's confused look, he suddenly felt bad breath in his heart.
However, this alone is not enough.
"The Tutor may not know yet. All the Thirty-Six Wubao Forts outside Chang'an City have elected Gou as the leader of the alliance and will come to Chang'an to take charge of the overall situation. If anyone does not obey my orders, they will never leave Chang'an alive!" Gou Xi said fiercely. said.
"Thirty-six Wubao?"
Tutor Zhu Ji looked at Gou Xi in shock.
The Thirty-six Wubao were the locals from Guanzhong stationed in the fields outside Chang'an.
After the Xiongnu occupied Guanzhong, they initially allocated all the fertile land near Chang'an to the Xiongnu headquarters.
However, these Huns had no intention of farming at all, which resulted in large areas of fertile land becoming deserted. In the end, they had to leave the Han people in place to continue farming on the Huns' behalf.
These powerful Han people and ordinary people were divided into thirty-six forts, numbering more than 100,000.
If these Wubao all obeyed Gou Xi's orders, then these Qiang and Hu people would indeed not dare to go against Gou Xi.
However, Tutor Zhu Ji quickly discovered the blind spot in this.
"Impossible! Gou Xi is lying to you!" Zhu Ji suddenly shouted loudly.
He glanced at Gou Xi and found that Gou Xi was looking at him with a playful look.
Zhu Ji ignored them and continued shouting at the Qiang and Hu generals.
"Gou Xi first learned of the news yesterday. How could he possibly manage thirty-six Wubao in one day!"
"Even if I walk through them one by one, the day will never end!"
"Gou Xi is just lying to you!"
The more Taifu Zhu Ji said it, the more he felt it made sense.
However, the Qiang and Hu generals next to them were like stupid pigs and dogs, and had no understanding of Grand Tutor Zhu Ji's analysis.
Zhu Ji was anxious and said quickly again.
It is a pity that the Qiang and Hu generals were completely unaware of the truth and rationality in it, and they all continued to look at Zhu Ji blankly.
Seeing these indifferent eyes, Grand Tutor Zhu Ji suddenly realized.
"You Qiang thieves have evil intentions!"
These Qiang and Hu generals are not that easy to deceive at all. Now they must be willing to obey Gou Xi's orders.
Gou Xi saw that Zhu Ji was so angry that he was going crazy, and immediately laughed.
"Hahaha, Master, don't get so angry!"
"You are still of great use to us!"
After Gou Xi said this, she waved to the left and right, and a group of soldiers rushed up and controlled all the guards of Tai Fu Zhu Ji.
Even Grand Tutor Zhu Ji was caught in the middle by two big and round soldiers.
"Gou Xi, are you going to rebel?" Zhu Ji shouted while struggling and spitting.
"Rebellion? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Gou Xi wants to protect the territory and the people in Chang'an, and he needs the help of the Grand Tutor!" Gou Xi said.
"What are you going to do?" Tufu Zhu Ji couldn't get out of the control of the two strong men.
"Trouble, Taifu, to open the treasury and official warehouses, and then summon the nobles in the city to the palace to discuss politics!" Gou Xi said coldly.
The Huns fought in the Central Plains for several years, and almost all the wealth they accumulated was transferred to the treasury in Chang'an, and the official warehouses stored a large amount of grain, cloth and other necessary materials.
Such an important place is naturally surrounded by high walls and heavily guarded.
Gou Xi naturally needed to ask Zhu Ji to order the doors to be opened. After all, the guards in these places were the most loyal Huns.
"Traitor! How dare you cause trouble? I will never be your accomplice!"
Zhu Ji immediately cursed.
He felt very regretful now. If he had known that he was going to be so humiliated, he might as well have led his troops to fight Gou Xi.
"Don't obey? Hum!"
When Gou Xi saw this, he immediately waved his hand.
"Crack!"
There were several sounds of swords chopping flesh, and more than a dozen blood stains shot out quickly.
Taifu Zhu Ji's bodyguards were all beheaded in the blink of an eye.
A large amount of blood suddenly flowed all over the ground.
Zhu Jideng's legs suddenly became weak, and his original boldness was gone.
Gou Xi knew that Zhu Ji had lost his courage, so he immediately asked his trusted generals to take Zhu Ji to take over various treasury and official warehouses.
Gou Xi himself led the remaining soldiers and ran towards the palace together with Ma Ye, Yang Wanqiu and other Qiang and Hu leaders.
At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the entire city of Chang'an was shrouded in darkness. Only some soldiers walking back and forth held torches and wandered back and forth in the streets like pythons.

Pingyang, the eastern capital of the Huns and Han Kingdom.
Seventeen-year-old Liang Wang Liu Yun was sitting at attention in the hall. After hearing the report from the emissary sent by Zhu Ji, the Grand Tutor of Chang'an, he felt surprised and nervous at the same time.
Although he was Liu Yao's eldest son, his biological mother was just a slave girl from the Western Regions and was never favored.
Especially after Yang Xianrong became pregnant, Liu Yao reserved the position of heir to the unborn baby early, while ignoring Liu Yun, the eldest son.
So when Liang Wang Liu Yun learned that his father Liu Yao had died in battle and that he needed to inherit the throne of Chang'an, his heart was completely filled with joy.
As for the pain of losing his father and the danger of his family and country, he did not think of it for the time being.
"The Taifu said that the situation in Guanzhong is critical now. The king must travel lightly and rush to Chang'an to inherit the country!"
Lai Shi emphasized again and again.
"I know, of course I know it!" Liang Wang Liu Yun said with a grin.
At this time, an official who looked like a master next to him tugged on his sleeve, and only then did Liang Wang Liu Yun retract the smile on his face.
"Come here, take the envoy down to rest!"
After sending away the envoy, Liang Wang Liu Yun immediately laughed wildly.
Then he said to the official next to him.
"Uncle, this is so great, I will become the emperor!"
This official was the teacher of King Liang and his uncle. He was actually a businessman from the Hu State in the Western Regions.
This curly-haired, blue-eyed foreigner from the Western Regions was also smiling all over his face.
"Congratulations, Your Highness!"
"Haha, we are all happy together!" Liang Wang Liu Yun said happily.
"However, Your Highness, please don't just be happy. There are still very important matters that need to be dealt with as soon as possible." said the foreigner from the Western Region named Zhi Tu Lian.
"What are you going to do?" Liang Wang Liu Yun asked puzzledly.
"Did your uncle mean to pack your bags?"
"If this is the case, there is no need to worry. I have decided to pack lightly and set off early tomorrow morning! I only take the horses and three days' rations with me, and no other burdens."
His uncle, Zitu Lian, shook his curly hair and said.
"Your Highness, that's not what I'm talking about."
"Then what did uncle say?" Liang Wang Liu Yun's gray-green eyes widened.
"His Highness's two younger brothers are still in Pingyang. Their mother's family is stronger than the King's. There is no guarantee that they will not be supported. If they come to seize His Highness's throne, how can they be checked and balanced?"
When Liang Wang Liu Yun heard this, his expression immediately darkened.
