Chapter 456 Palace Change
Faced with the obscurity of millions of troops, Luoyang's court officials now felt that they had to save themselves. Sima Ji would definitely not worry, because the Jurchen cavalry he brought did not know what the concept of a million troops was. Almost all the Jurchens were Jurchens who could not understand the numbers, and they were also indifferent to the numbers upwards.
The imperial guards are divided into eight passes, and they can collapse at any time. Since they have decided to take action, they cannot hesitate. The reason why they really impressed Sima Han was that Sun Xiu wanted to give it a try and recruit all the children of all fourth-rank officials in Beijing to join the army. He knew when he heard this news that Sima Lun and Sun Xiu had already aroused public anger.
Of course, the hearts of the people are the hearts of the people, and the hearts of the gentry are even more hearts of the people. When the children of the gentry in Luoyang want to kill Sun Xiu and get there soon, what else can hesitate?
"General Wang Yu, I know what you think. As long as one of the eight kings who sent troops wants to implicate you, you are in danger. So if you want to show your sincerity, you must take ruthless measures." Since you decided to take action, Sima Han also showed the other side of the Sima family. You can be harmless in normal times. At the critical moment, you must be ruthless. "All the party of King Zhao is being killed. Only with their blood can you save the lives of many court officials. I believe the general understands the interests in this. It seems that there are several generals who have good relationships with the generals. I wonder what will make a decision at this time?"
Wang Yu was stunned and fell into a conflict. If he wanted to fight back, he had to make some achievements. At this time, no friendship could be tolerated. Even if he started killing his friends, Wang Yu finally said cruelly, "Wang Yu knew how to do it, and once he took action, he would naturally be merciless. All the Zhao Wang party was being killed."
"Okay, General Wang Yu is loyal to the emperor and protect the country. At that time, he urges him to speak for the general. I believe that the Eight Kings will definitely not blame him." Sima Yan saw that Wang Yu had made a decision, so he comforted him happily, "It is better for anyone to survive than to survive by himself."
"What Gong Guangling taught me is!" Wang Yuqiang agreed with a smile. This determination was not so easy to make, but since he had made it, he was fired without turning back. Wang Yu said goodbye and went back to contact his old subordinates.
The wounded soldiers of the imperial guards all over Luoyang wailed and screamed to testify. It was definitely not a false statement that all court officials wanted to turn against each other. After Wang Yu returned, he directly called his generals to the mansion. There were three Sima people, who spoke straight to the point. "Now, the coalition of kings is as high as one million, and there are great troops of kings outside the eight passes of the capital. As long as any pass is broken, we will die without a burial place. Whether it is for Sima Lun to be buried with him or to seek life in his life and save his life is all within the thoughts of the Lords."
What Wang Yu wants to do now is very simple, but it is something that the imperial guards often do since the mid-Eastern Han Dynasty, coups! The imperial guards participated in the coups more times than they went to wars.
Now the people in Luoyang are in a state of danger, and all the court officials are in danger. This naturally includes the generals and schools who came to Wang Yu's home. Even if someone was promoted by Sima Lun, in this environment, it would be useless to report Wang Yu. The kings' army rushed into Luoyang, and they were still going to die. What else can hesitate about this? So they expressed their attitude, "I am willing to listen to the general's orders, kill the treacherous and the emperor is welcomed back."
"Okay, it's not too late. The kings will go back immediately and take action tonight. Many royal families have already prepared it. They will tell you if they are to make trouble. It depends on them. In the end, Wang Yu did not forget to pull out the banner of the royal family. You must know that outside the eight passes is the coalition of the kings. The banner of the royal family is still very useful at this time. It is also a threat to his generals not to report it as soon as they leave the palace.
This threat is very useful. No imperial guards in the palace came to capture him within two hours. Wang Yu took advantage of this time to take a break and wait for the action tonight. Compared with the previous coup, this attack was already very hasty and the lineup was not huge. Sima Han had not even been crowned king. The remaining main force was just a Left Guard General, but there was no way. The two had to grab the time. One day later, the kings might have led the army to rush in.
Sima Lun was very tired, and Sun Xiu was also very tired, especially Sun Xiu and the party members who were closely tied to Sima Lun were almost not in their own residence, because in this environment, they did not dare to appear outside the palace. Only under the protection of the palace's walls and the imperial guards in the hall could they sleep.
Especially in recent days, as the situation at the Eighth Pass was critical, more urgent reports were reported, and the larger mansions became a vegetable market. The officials of the government offices entered the industry. In almost a quarter of an hour, more than a dozen imperial edicts would be issued and sent to all parts of the city. Many guards and soldiers entered the industry, like ants on the hot pan were circling around Luoyang under the leadership of the main general, and they had no idea where they should be sent.
On the other hand, the wounded soldiers of the imperial guards all over the city were wailing. Luoyang had already lost the gracefulness of the heart of the Jin Dynasty. The embarrassment of being unpredictable was fully revealed at this moment. The people of the capital also fled and went out of the city to find a quiet place. But the entire Sizhou was surrounded, where can they go?
Of course, more people are just panic inside. They are calm on the surface, but in fact they just don’t know where to escape.
All of this gave Sima Han and Wang Yu the opportunity to show their skills. The Zhao Wang party was in the palace, and the goals were very concentrated, so there was no need to worry about the battle spreading throughout the city. After all, they did not have much direct power in their hands.
At midnight at midnight, outside the Nanye Gate of the Imperial Palace, Ma Han of Guangling Company and Wang Yu, the Left Guard General, quietly emerged, followed by nearly a thousand imperial soldiers with swords and guns, who were silent but silent.
Wang Yu signaled the imperial guards behind him to stop, and approached the Nanye Gate with a few personal guards, nodded to the several personal guards. All of them took out their crossbows and aimed at the imperial guards at the Nanye Gate, and swished...
Almost as the arrow was leaving the strings, Wang Yu pulled out his waist knife and shouted, "Sima Lun usurped the throne, the kings raised their troops, you will follow me into the palace and welcome the emperor back."
Bump... Six or seven crossbow arrows shot the imperial guards at the Nanye Gate almost at the same time. At the same time, the imperial guards led by the two also came out of the lurking place and rushed into the Nanye Gate for a moment.
This coup can be said to be the most hasty in history, but Sima Lun's party, who was frightened by the coalition of kings, still had fatal mistakes when they had the intention to make plans and no intentions. Now they have to pay the price for this.
As soon as he rushed into the Nanye Gate, the left guard general Wang Yu led a part of the imperial guards to the Secretariat. He knew that Sun Xiu and his son must be sleeping there, but Sun Xiu, who was not sleeping soundly, did not react slowly, and directly asked someone to close the gate of the Secretariat. However, this act of repairing the sheep was too late, and the Secretariat was not a place to resist.
Wang Yu directly chopped down the blocking officials, climbed up the high wall and shouted at the soldiers behind him, "Get on the rocket, burn them all to death if you don't come out!"
"Recipe the order!" The imperial soldiers participating in the coup replaced the rockets and shot arrows into the high walls. In a short while, the fire broke out inside. At the same time, Wang Yu ordered the soldiers to start hitting the door. There would not be too many troops in the Secretariat, so he could hit the door boldly. The flames in the Secretariat soared into the sky. Even if Sun Xiu and others didn't come out, they would soon die on the spot.
On the other hand, Ma Han, the Guangling Company, joined the three Simas who were recruited as internal support, headed straight to Sima Lun's bedroom. On the way, he killed a group of palace guards and finally surrounded Sima Lun in the bedroom where he lived. Sima Han shouted with a cold face, "Search out all Sima Lun's sons, and ran away to ask you."
‘Receive the order!’ The imperial guards under the command of Sima of the three ministries were scattered and divided their troops to search the palaces in the palace. They also understood that this was an opportunity to make contributions, and they all worked very hard when they ran.
"Go to each prefecture to find all the royal families." After giving a light order, Sima Han also led the remaining imperial guards to the palace. He did not rush to enter and arrest Sima Lun, because he didn't know how to treat Sima Lun, and he had to wait for other royal families to come before he could decide the capture. In addition, he was also waiting for news from Wang Yu. If good news came from Wang Yu, the coup would be completed.
Outside the Secretariat, the blazing flames finally played a role. No one would choose to be burned alive. Sun Xiu and others who were hiding in the Secretariat did not want to die like this, so they could only rush out with their teeth. Xu Chao rushed out of the gate and looked up and saw Wang Yu's figure. He was shocked, "It turned out to be you, Wang Yu."
What greeted Xu Chao was to use the knife neatly. Xu Chao was shocked and hurriedly avoided, saying, "Why is this? You don't even recognize me."
The response to Xu Chao was to use the knife more and more urgently. Of course, Wang Yu knew Xu Chao. The relationship between the two was very good, but before that, he had decided to use the blood of his friends to protect his life. Xu Chao could not blame him.
Finally, after a scream, Xu Chao died and stood in front of his friend. Wang Yu shouted hideously, "No one except the royal family, I will kill you all."
"Have you heard the general's words? Kill them all!" Zhao Quan shouted in a trembling voice when he saw Wang Yu's expression, regardless of the indiscriminate killing against everyone coming out.
After killing the Secretariat, Wang Yu and others marched into the hall and beheaded the former general Xie Xian of King Zhao, Luo Xiu, Sima Duke Wang Qian and others in the hall. Sun Bi, who was a clan with Sun Xiu, was caught by the three Simas of Xuanhua in the hall and beheaded on the spot.
In the palace, in order to show his sincerity, Wang Yu started a massacre here. In addition to leaving Sun Xiu for the court to be tried, Sima Lun would not let go of all the party. When the royal family got the news and came to the palace, they were shocked by Wang Yu's ruthlessness.
"Where is Sima Lun?" Sima Yue, the King of Donghai, asked hurriedly after seeing Sima Han.
