Luoyang City, inside the Forbidden Palace.

While Li Rui was humming an incomprehensible song and putting the steaming dishes on the table in preparation for a meal, the large number of dignitaries in the Forbidden Palace could not even sit still, let alone eating.

Everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

Sima Yue, the old turtle, once again showed the characteristics of the old sinister family. After escaping from the iron gate pass, he silently led hundreds of confidants on fast horses to get rid of the army, and drove all the way. Within two hours, he

Arrived in Luoyang. When he arrived in Luoyang, Luoyang was still sleeping in the dark and knew nothing about his arrival. Sima Yue showed no politeness and summoned all the generals of the Forbidden Army with his token and ordered them to blockade the city.

When the citizens of Luoyang woke up from their deep sleep, they found that the entire Luoyang had turned into a huge prison.

, they all became prisoners locked up in this prison.

Not only them, but even the emperor and even Yang Chen, the big figures who planned this operation, were all trapped in the forbidden palace and lost contact with the outside world. The emperor was shocked and asked Yang Chen in a trembling voice: "Yang Ai

Sir, didn’t you say that the old thief was bound to die this time? Why is he back?”

Yang Chen also looked confused: "I don't know, I don't know! As far as I know, the old thief was besieged by the barbarian army at Tiemenguan. He was surrounded and couldn't break out at all. How come he fell into the trap overnight?"

Back to Luoyang? Could it be that he made some ulterior deal with the Hu people and betrayed the country's interests to save his life?"

The old man was summoned to the palace last night to discuss the plan with the emperor. Perhaps he was too absorbed in chatting and did not come out until the palace gate was closed. The result was good, Sima Yue returned like lightning, and the imperial army mobilized to block the palace gate and put him

I was blocked entering the palace.

The emperor was shocked and angry: "Why is the old thief's life so tough? You can't kill him like this!?" He paced back and forth in the palace irritably, looking like he was in a state of confusion. A group of old ministers shook their heads secretly. This emperor

They are still too young and too impetuous. Compared with the clan kings such as Sima You, Sima Jun and even Sima Yi, they are far behind. With such a boss, they have no confidence.

An old minister with white beard and hair, Wen Yangchen, asked, "Where is Lord Dongping now?"

Yang Chen replied: "According to the message sent by flying pigeons last night, Duke Dongping's army is still one day's journey from Luoyang."

The old man said with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Isn't Duke Dongping always famous for his quick actions, as fast as lightning? Why is it so late this time? It takes so long to walk so long and you still haven't arrived yet?"

Yang Chen smiled bitterly: "I heard that he was attacked by a group of refugee armed forces on the way. He stopped and fought hard with the group of refugees, and gained a lot..."

The old man rolled his eyes and said: "This guy has no sense at all! How long has it been since he was in the mood to beat up the homeless? We are all going to be killed by him!"

However, they later discovered that things were not as bad as they thought. For example, Yang Chen tentatively asked the Imperial Army who blocked the Forbidden Palace to go home, but the Imperial Army did not embarrass him much and agreed immediately. This made those

The ministers who were trapped in the attack were relieved, and almost rushed out of the forbidden palace one by one and slipped back home, leaving the emperor alone in the dangerous and unpredictable wolf den.

Although Luoyang City is now also tightly sealed, it is still much better than the information island of the Forbidden Palace. Returning to the mansion, Yang Chen mobilized the human resources at hand, and soon, the information he wanted was continuously sent to him.

into his hands.

The first key piece of information: It was Bei Gongjing who led four thousand cavalry to attack for dozens of miles, breaking the siege of Tiemenguan in one fell swoop, and rescuing that old turtle Sima Yue from the encirclement of the barbarians;

The second key piece of information: The 70,000-strong army led by Sima Yue suffered very slight casualties in this battle, and the main force was basically intact;

The third key piece of information: Sima Yue still firmly controls the Forbidden Army, whether it is in Luoyang City or is being withdrawn from Xin'an to Luoyang;

The fourth key piece of information: Yangxiu also participated in the Battle of Tiemenguan and performed as bravely as ever, killing many Hu generals.

The fifth key piece of information: Sima Yue did not seem to intend to break up with them. After taking control of Luoyang, although he sent a large number of people to arrest people, they only arrested relatively light characters, such as Yang, Pei, and Xiao.

None of the family members were arrested.

After mastering this key information, Sima Yue had a good idea. He immediately sent people to Tiemenguan to pass the order and asked Yangxiu to come back quickly. As soon as Yangxiu came back, he immediately locked her up. This little girl is so courageous.

She is so big that she actually dares to ruin the Emperor's good deeds. If she is not punished, she will not be able to explain to the Emperor!

After imprisoning Yang Xiu, Yang Chen mobilized Chang Shui, She Sheng, and Yue Cavalry to confront the imperial army controlled by Sima Yue. The powerful families in Luoyang City also lined up and divided into two camps to glare at each other fiercely.

, they would fight whenever they had a disagreement. There was no way, this time it was not just Sima Yue who was tricked by the Iron Gate Pass, but a lot of powerful people from aristocratic families were also tricked. Even the clay figures have a three-point earth nature,

What's more, these powerful men have never been very good-tempered, and now they have fallen out. What else do they have to be afraid of? They have armed their own soldiers, generals and even the servants in the house. As long as Sima Yue gives the order, they will immediately attack.

If you start killing, even if the killing is bloody, you still have to let out this evil breath!

Until now, the emperor and the group of people who supported the emperor were horrified to discover that Sima Yue was so powerful that more than half of the powerful families in Luoyang City were his supporters! On the other hand, the emperor had very few supporters, and Sima Yue really

If he gets serious and directly carries out an armed coup, no one will be able to stop him!

The emperor was frightened and kept urging Yang Chen to enter the palace to ask him for advice. But now Yang Chen could do nothing. Gou Xi was afraid of the powerful forbidden army in Sima Yue's hands, and stopped when he learned that Sima Yue had successfully escaped and returned to Luoyang.

Bei Gongjing made it clear that he did not want another internal fight in Luoyang City under the current situation of a powerful enemy. Unless Sima Yue really wanted to do something disloyal, he would not lead troops into King Jingqin; other personnel

There are still some troops in there, but they are all in vain. They are far behind Bei Gongjing and Gou Xi. They don’t even have the courage to stand in line for fear of being attacked by Sima Yue...

Both the Emperor and Yang Chen felt unprecedented loneliness and helplessness.

So, while Li Rui and Bei Gongchun and their daughter were happily enjoying the stew, the emperor was furious in the forbidden palace. He overturned the desk angrily and broke everything he could. His eyes were red.

Roaring loudly: "Why is everyone siding with that old thief? Why is everyone helping that old thief against me? Am I still the emperor of the Jin Dynasty!?"

Yang Chen said helplessly: "Your Majesty, please calm down, things are not that bad yet. Although the old thief is rampant, he still has concerns and never dares to do such a treasonous thing..."

Sima Chi roared: "He has sealed off the entire city of Luoyang, what else can he not dare to do?"

Yang Chen said: "The army of Duke Dongping is only one day's journey from Luoyang. The main force of the Liangzhou army is in Xin'an. If anything happens to Luoyang, they can come to support at any time! Your Majesty's safety lies in the hands of Duke Dongping and Beigong Jing.

Once he crosses the drawn bottom line, he will definitely be attacked in his belly! That old thief is always cautious and will not fail to see this! Your Majesty, just rest assured, that old thief will never dare to..."

Sima Chi sneered: "What if he dares?"

Yang Chen frowned.

Sima Chi said: "What if he dares? No matter how brave Dongping County Duke and Bei Gongjing are, they are still a day's journey from Luoyang, but the old thief who wants to kill the king only needs a glass of poisonous wine, three feet

Bai Ling! As for Bei Gongjing after the incident, how can Duke Dongping retaliate, and what’s the use to me?”

Yang Chen couldn't help but be speechless...

Yes, no matter how much revenge Bei Gongjing and Gou Xi take after the incident, it will be meaningless to Sima Chi, because he is already dead! Even if Sima Yue is chopped into eighteen pieces and fed to the dogs, he will not be able to see it.

!

Sima Chi vented his anger and seemed to have exhausted all his strength. He sat slumped on the ground and murmured to himself: "I am afraid that the foundation of Emperor Wu's lineage will be ruined in my hands... I am not willing to accept it, I really am not willing to accept it.

!”

Yang Chen was about to comfort him when a huge commotion suddenly came from outside the palace, and the sound of the collision of armor leaves could be clearly heard. A young eunuch stumbled in and shouted to Sima Chi: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, it's not good."

,The King of East China Sea is here!”

Sima Chi's face suddenly turned pale, he jumped up suddenly, turned around and wanted to run into the depths of the palace. However, Sima Yue's gloomy voice came over first: "I have something to ask for, Your Majesty.

Why did you turn around and leave?"

Sima Chi suddenly froze on the spot as if he had been stabbed, and he could not move forward no matter what. He mustered up the last bit of courage to look back, and saw Sima Yue leading hundreds of soldiers under the dim candlelight.

He walked in swaggeringly. The soldiers all had their swords out of their scabbards, shields and crossbows, and they were ready to kill if they disagreed.

Looking at these soldiers, Sima Chi's complexion turned pale, and his legs were shaking like chaff. The young eunuch who rushed in to report the news was a bit brave, standing in front of Sima Chi and pointing at Sima Yue's

Nose cursed: "You are an old thief who has brought disaster to the country and the people. You led the soldiers to break into the forbidden palace. You are really treasonous. Aren't you afraid of being struck by five thunders?"

Sima Yue sneered without saying anything. But a soldier beside him was unceremonious and swung his sword. The young eunuch's sharp curses suddenly stopped, and a head rolled to the ground with a grunt, and a column of blood spurted out.

Up to six or seven feet tall!
