Chapter Seventy-Two: Palace Changes

When Lou Zhao heard Chen Yuankang explain his intentions, his first reaction was to choose to escape.

He is Lou Zhaojun's half-brother, he has followed Gao Huan since he was a child, and he knows that his brother-in-law is a person who misses his old love, even if he loses Luoyang, he will not be blamed, so why bother to stay here as a target.

At least he had never heard of a coup d'Γ©tat and allowing the forbidden army to be controlled by his opponents.

Staying in Luoyang is in danger of life, fleeing back to Jinyang, and you can also follow your brother-in-law to the south and make meritorious contributions.

Could it be that the 200,000 Xianbei army can't recapture Luoyang City?

Gao Longzhi witnessed Lou Zhao's choice and reinvigorated his spirits:

It's really not that I'm cowardly and cowardly, even a general in the army like Lou Zhao, who is the world's best in cavalry and archery, after judging the situation and sizing up the situation, he also feels that it is a wise move to go to Jinyang to report the news.

Thinking like this, Gao Longzhi glanced at Chen Yuankang, and said in his heart: He is your sovereign's maternal uncle, can you threaten me, a pretending relative, with a sword, can you dare to force Lou Zhao into danger?

Chen Yuankang's long sword was left outside the palace gate, and not everyone was qualified to carry a sword into the palace.

But Chen Yuankang still has a sharp mouth.

"The reason why I came to report the news was that I heard that the kings were about to make a move, so I went to Miyagi to avoid trouble.

"The general should take advantage of the fact that the news has not yet spread, strike preemptively, and immediately summon the generals of the forbidden army in the name of deliberations, capture or kill those whose positions are unknown, and replace them with henchmen.

"At that time, the general only needs to close the palace gates everywhere and isolate the news, and the thieves are in a hurry, and they lack siege equipment, so they can only look at the wall and sigh."

Saying that, Chen Yuankang coaxed:

"The king ordered the prince to be the governor of Gyeonggi, and led 30,000 troops south to settle in Luoyang, which will arrive soon, which is also the reason why the kings are eager to rebel.

"The general only needs to hold the palace, and when the prince arrives, the thieves will surely disperse! If you abandon the army and go, how can you protect yourself when you encounter thieves on the road! ”

Lou Zhao and Gao Longzhi didn't know that Gao Cheng was appointed as the governor of Gyeonggi, and it was impossible to know that there were only 3,000 people under Duan Shao's command.

"Is what you said true? Ah Hui Zhen led 30,000 people south? ”

Lou Zhao was pleasantly surprised.

If it is really a thunderbolt, it can indeed deter the forbidden army for several days, and barely defend the city.

He was worried that he would wait for Gao Huan to receive the news, and then raise troops from Jinyang, even if he defeated the rebels, he could only enter the palace to collect his body for himself.

Chen Yuankang had a sloppy eye, and he said with a straight face:

"Yuanyasu didn't dare to deceive, and the prince was indeed ordered to lead 30,000 horses to garrison Gyeonggi. The situation is urgent, please don't hesitate, so as not to lose the opportunity! ”

Gao Longzhi was the first to be moved, and then persuaded Lou Zhao, if it was really as Chen Yuankang said, Miyagi was the safest place, and he even wanted to bring his family members over.

Lou Zhao is also a decisive character, and immediately summoned the generals of the forbidden army to discuss the matter in the name of discussing rewards.

It turned out that compared with the local border army to loot materials to make a living, the Luoyang Forbidden Army relied more on the rewards of the Son of Heaven to accumulate family funds, but these rewards were always withheld by the generals.

Now seeing that Lou Zhao wants to renegotiate the distribution of rewards, everyone is overjoyed, these days, how can anyone not be greedy for money, Lou Zhao, as a leading general, wants more shares, and he can't treat them badly.

After handing over the blade to the guard, Lou Zhao did not appear for a long time, and it was inevitable that there would be some discussions, and then it was found that there was no person placed by Lou Zhao in the hall, and finally realized that something was wrong, and there was a riot.

Lou Zhao was wearing armor and led a group of swordsmen to pour in.

"General, what do you mean!"

"Lou Zhao! You're going to kill me, wait! ”

"We are innocent, how can you kill unjustly! The Son of Heaven blames, you can't afford it! ”

The Son of Heaven is to blame? Lou Zhao snorted coldly, and he shouted to the generals:

"King Qinghe conspired against him, he was noticed by King Gao, the army is about to go south, and he will control the situation in the palace, if you are of the same heart as King Gao, you can wait for King Gao here, and we will not be embarrassed!"

As soon as they heard this, many generals who were in contact with Yuan Yan and others tried to rush out of the hall, but they were slashed and killed one by one by Lou Zhao's henchmen and his subordinates.

They couldn't figure it out until they died, and it was clear that it was not time to do it, so they were found out by the Gao family.

"We have no two hearts."

The rest of the crowd shouted one after another, staying in the lobby honestly, and letting the subordinates be taken over by Lou Zhao's cronies.

When Lou Zhao ordered people to lock the palace gate, Chen Yuankang was leading a team of armor soldiers to break into Yuan Shanjian's dormitory with Gao Longzhi.

"Your Majesty, the king of Qinghe, who is plotting against each other and wants to abolish the emperor and stand on his own, also asks His Majesty to issue an edict to announce his guilt to the world."

Ten-year-old Yuan Shanjian was still in a panic, and he trembled:

"Father, no, King Qinghe is my biological father, how could he do such a mess, there may be a misunderstanding."

Gao Longzhi shouted loudly:

"Your Majesty is the heir of Emperor Xiaoming, what does it have to do with King Qinghe! The minister has prepared an edict for His Majesty, and please use the seal for Your Majesty! ”

After that, Gao Longzhi was going to go forward to grab the seal held by the palace people.

"Gao Longzhi! How dare you bully the Son of Heaven like this! ”

It turned out that the queen broke in surrounded by palace people and scolded.

The armor soldiers dared to follow Gao Longzhi and others to persecute the Son of Heaven, but they did not dare to stop Her Royal Highness the Queen.

Because she is Gao Huan's daughter.

When Empress Gao heard that Gao Longzhi's leader had broken into the harem, she was worried that he was going to kill the king, so she hurriedly ran over.

Chen Yuankang, who had been quiet, stood up and stopped Queen Gao:

"Servant Chen Yuankang, serving in the Shogunate of the Son of the World, His Royal Highness, we are not bullying the Son of Heaven, but the King of Qinghe is rebelling, we are ordered by the Son of the Prince, please ask the Son of Heaven to issue an edict.

However, the Son of Heaven took into account the grace of birth and rearing, and was unwilling to act, so he had to make this decision in a hurry.

"The Son of Heaven is safe and secure, please don't obstruct Your Highness."

The twelve-year-old Empress Gao blinked her eyes and asked for confirmation with suspicion:

"Is it really what Brother said?"

"Exactly."

"I won't go, I won't obstruct it, just watch from the sidelines, if I really dare to harm the Son of Heaven, I will let my brother deal with you and others."

Although he didn't drive Queen Gao away, he finally didn't add to the chaos.

When Chen Yuankang looked back, Gao Longzhi had already taken away the seal with the help of the armor and used it instead of the Son of Heaven.

"Don't kill my father! Don't hurt my father! I can give up the position of the Son of Heaven and return it to King Gao, you don't want to slaughter my family!" ”

Yuan Shanjian cried and begged on the couch, which made Queen Gao, who had planned to comfort her husband afterwards, unable to stay any longer, and covered her face and left under guilt.

Gao Longzhi handed the edict to Chen Yuankang, who handed it over to Lou Zhao, and he led a group of armor soldiers to guard Yuan Shanjian.

Chen Yuankang held the edict tightly and was excited.

He didn't have any evidence to confirm that Yuan Ji was going to rebel, all of this was just speculation based on the kings of the sect taking advantage of the emptiness of Luoyang to gather slaves.

Now that there is an edict from the Son of Heaven, it can be regarded as a final conclusion on this matter, not to mention that Chen Yuankang believes in his own judgment very much.

When he found Lou Zhao, he looked at the palace wall, and there were indeed many clan servants gathered outside the palace gate, and the person at the head was Qinghe Wang Yuangan.
