Chapter 188 Incident
The general trend of chess in the world has slowly kicked off.

Luoyang, which has been in peace for several years, has just experienced a peaceful Yuanchen.

On the second day of the first lunar month, General Cao Shuang presided over the visit to Gaoping Mausoleum.

The long cold winter was unbearable, and the snow and ice outside the city had not yet melted. Under the instigation of He Yan and others, Cao Shuang was going to take his brothers and cronies out of the city.

Da Si Nong Huan Fan reminded: "The forbidden area of ​​Luoyang, the center of the world, once there is a change, and the city gate is closed, where will the general go?"

Since the Empress Dowager Guo was placed under house arrest, the beauties and famous utensils in the palace have been used arbitrarily, fertile land and Muyi have been invaded at will, and loyal and upright people in the court have been demoted at will.

Cao Shuang's brothers and confidantes, Wei Fu, became more and more prosperous, and no one dared to speak.

"Who dares to be evil!" Cao Shuang replied arrogantly to Huan Fan.

Deng Yang and Ding Mi looked at him coldly.

As usual, Huan Fan sighed and walked away.

And this is not the first time Huan Fan persuaded Cao Shuang.

Deng Yang said flatly: "Oh, Da Sinong really has no eyesight, who in this city of Luoyang dares to be an enemy of the great general?"

He Yan said with a smile: "Da Sinong still has eyesight, but his virtue is not enough. This kind of people's general should not be approached."

Because of his status as a child of Qiaojun, Huanfan was talented, and he was carefully cultivated by Emperor Ming. However, he competed with Zou Qi, the governor of Xuzhou, for a mansion, and wanted to kill Zou Qi, the governor of Xuzhou, by virtue of his power of envoy. Zou Qi noticed it and wrote a letter of impeachment.

Emperor Ming had no choice but to transfer back to Huanfan and be demoted as governor of Yanzhou.

He was not satisfied with his appointment as governor of Yanzhou.

Emperor Ming called him Jizhou Mu.

Lv Zhao, the general of Northern Zhengzhou at that time, entered the official position late, and his qualifications were not as good as Huan Fan's.

Huan Fan called his wife Zhong Chang's family and said: "I would rather be a prince and kneel to the third prince than to be under Lu Zizhan."

Zhong Chang's family persuaded him bluntly: "The king was in Qingxu before, and he wanted to kill the governor of Xuzhou because of trivial matters. Everyone said that the king was difficult to be a subordinate. Now he is ashamed to be under General Lu, which is to offend the superior."

Huan fan became angry and stabbed his abdomen with a knife around his head. Zhong Chang was pregnant and died of abortion. Huan fan also said that he was ill and could not go to office.

If it weren't for his status as a child of Qiaojun, Huan Fan would have been kicked out of the Luoyang court long ago.

Later, he became the Dasinong, and his reputation was not good.

He was squeezed out by the gentry, so he moved closer to Cao Shuang.

Cao Shuang also kept a respectful distance and rarely adopted his strategies.

Therefore, Huan Fan's name was not included in Cao Shuang's list of worshiping the mausoleum.

In the early morning of the sixth day of the first lunar month, colorful clothes fluttered, flags fluttered, and gongs and drums shook the ground.

Cao Shuang's brothers and confidants are surrounded by a group of powerful children.

Xun Kai, Zhong Hui, Jia Chong, Pei Xiu, Wang Hun, Wang Chen, Wang Ye, etc. all accompanied them.

A gorgeous carriage pulled by six white horses was walking on the Bronze Camel Street.

Guards with distinctive armor guard the left and right.

Under the awe and fearful eyes of the people, he slowly left the city.

In the city, two pairs of eyes were watching Cao Shuang and his party from the attic.

Brother Sima Shi and Sima Zhao didn't say a word.

After the city returned to calm, the two brothers slowly went downstairs, walked into Sima Yi's ward, and knelt down in front of the bed.

There was a strong smell of medicine in the room.

Sima Yi closed his eyes, looking sick and old.

"The general has already left the city?" Sima Yi coughed twice and asked softly.

His old illness is not all fake.

Otherwise, it would not have fooled Li Sheng and others.

Naturally, the stone tiger entrenched on the mound also had some grave aura.

"It's out!" Sima Zhao excitedly said.

Sima Yi opened his eyes slightly, and a ray of light fell on Master Sima's face, "Why didn't you say a word when you waited for the opportunity for many days?"

"Cao Shuang will be defeated, why do you need to say more? Father rests, and we will see tomorrow." Master Sima looked as usual, as if he was talking about something trivial.

The father and son have planned for many days, and at this moment, everything is ready, so naturally there is no need to say more.

Only Sima Zhao was at a loss.

Time passed by, and the father and son sat opposite each other in the room until nightfall.

Waiting is always the most torturous.

Sima Yi was always drowsy, falling asleep and waking up, waking up and sleeping again.

Sima Zhao was restless and stayed up all night.

But Sima Shi was sleeping peacefully as usual.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month in the tenth year of Zhengshi, at dawn, Sima, father and son walked out of the ward.

Young and strong men stood densely on the corridors and gardens.

Clothes of different colors and ages, it seemed that people from the market had all poured into Sima's mansion.

The same red cloth was tied on the left arm, as if stained with blood.

Although they don't have weapons and armor, the murderous, evil, and deadly aura in their eyes is enough to show their determination.

Sima Zhao, who was still in a coma, woke up suddenly, and his heart was turbulent. When did his elder brother raise such a group of dead men?

Sima Yi's eyes lit up, and he laughed loudly: "This son is so good!"

Master Sima drew out his long sword from his waist, pointed obliquely at the dark sky, "Rise up!"

Accompanied by this roar, the dark clouds over Luoyang surged more violently.

The father and son sent troops to Sima Men.

The Simamen defenders were brought under control before they woke up.

At this time, Jiang Ji and Sima Fu were also able to come.

"Arsenal! Arsenal!" Jiang Ji panted.

With tears streaming down his face, Sima Fu knelt down in the direction of the imperial palace, "The emperor is above, our Sima family has no choice but to raise troops, just to set things right, gods..."

"Shu Da is important." Sima Yi interrupted the oath before he finished speaking.

Jiang Ji got a cart, but after Sima Yi got into the cart, he said to Master Sima: "Take the same ride!"

Master Sima got into the chariot without hesitation, raised the reins, and said, "Drive!"

More than two thousand dead soldiers followed closely behind.

The imperial city is in the northwest, and the arsenal is in the northeast, separated by the General's Mansion.

Sima Yi and Sima Shi took a car together and went straight to the arsenal.

But during the first lunar month, there was an endless stream of people visiting relatives and friends in Luoyang. Perhaps it was God's will, and the cars of Sima Yi and Sima Shi were blocked in front of the General's Mansion.

Master Sima made a prompt decision, jumped out of the car and swung his sword to drive away the crowd.

At this time, on the enemy building of the General's Mansion, Cao Shuang's subordinate Yan Shi pulled the heavy crossbow to aim at Sima Yi, but was stopped by the deputy general Sun Qian, "You don't know what happened!"

After repeated pulling three times, the heavy crossbow failed to shoot out, but Master Sima drove away the crowd, and the dead guarded the chariots and horses to rush through the last hurdle.

After occupying the arsenal, [-] dead men wore armor and held blades. Sima Yi summoned Gaorou Wangguan, guarded Sima Gate with Sima Fu and Sima Shi, and led troops into Yongning Palace with Sima Zhao, seeking the decree from Queen Mother Guo to dismiss Cao Shuang's party members.

After receiving the edict, Sima Yi said with a smile: "Wen Hui will be Zhou Bo today!"

So Gao Rou acted as the general and took over the forbidden army in the city.

Huan Fan was ordered by Queen Mother Guo to lead the army.

Huan Fan's approach to Cao Shuang was originally only to get closer to power.

He has not been reused in the Cao Shuang Group, so with his character, he naturally has resentment.

Just as he was about to fulfill his orders, his son urged Huan Fan, saying that the emperor was in the hands of Cao Shuang, and he had a lot to do.

Regardless of the dissuasion of his subordinates, Huan Fan insisted on going out of the city to Gaoping Mausoleum.

Jiang Ji panicked and said: "The brains are gone."

Sima Yi said disapprovingly, "Shuang and Fan Nei are estranged and careless. If you are in love with Zhandou, you must not use it."

So Wang Guan led the army.

Wang Guan, Jiang Ji, and Gao Rou all occupy the position of Jiuqing, they are older than Sima Yi, and they are all veterans of the four dynasties.

From the beginning of the army to the present, the soldiers were bloodless, and none of the courtiers or generals resisted.

Only the general joined the army, Xin Chang, encouraged by his sister Xin Xianying, led the army out of Luoyang and defected to Cao Shuang.

Afterwards, Sima Yi and Jiang Ji led troops to settle on the Luoshui pontoon bridge, cutting off the connection between Gaoping Mausoleum and Luoyang.

In front of all the generals and officials in Luoyang, we made an oath: "The Empress Dowager, the God of Luo, I, Sima Yi, had no choice but to do what I did today, only to help Wei, and had no other ambitions. General Cao Shuang is an honored relative of the clan. He has made great contributions to the country, so long as he resigns from the position of general, he will not do any harm, or else both human beings and gods will abandon him!"

During the Wei and Jin dynasties, metaphysics prevailed, and Heluo played a pivotal role.

Sima Yi's majestic Grand Tutor, a veteran of the four dynasties, made such a solemn oath that everyone present was moved.

Jiang Ji was so excited that he personally wrote to Cao Shuang to persuade him to surrender.
