Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 72 Palace Change
When Lou Zhao heard Chen Yuankang explain his intention, his first reaction was to choose to escape.

He is Lou Zhaojun's same mother and brother, and he has followed Gao Huan since he was a child. He knows that his brother-in-law is a nostalgic person, even if he loses Luoyang, he will not be blamed, so why stay here as a target for others.

At least he has never heard of the reason for launching a coup, but allowing the imperial army to be controlled by the opponent.

It is life-threatening to stay in Luoyang, and if he fled back to Jinyang, he could follow his brother-in-law to the south and make meritorious deeds.

Could it be that the 20 Xianbei army still can't take back Luoyang City?

Gao Longzhi witnessed Lou Zhao's choice and regained his spirit:
It's really not that I'm cowardly and timid. Even Lou Zhao, a general in the army who is the world's best cavalier and archer, feels that it is wise to report to Jinyang after assessing the situation.

Thinking in this way, Gao Longzhi glanced at Chen Yuankang, and thought: He is your lord's real uncle, you can threaten me, a false relative with a sword, so you dare to force Lou Zhao into danger?

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

But Chen Yuankang still had a sharp mouth.

"The reason why I came here to report the news was because I heard that the Zong Kings were about to make trouble, so I went to Miyagi to avoid disaster.

"The general should preemptively take advantage of the news before it spreads, and immediately use the pretext of discussing the matter to summon the generals of the imperial army, capture or kill those who do not know the position, and then replace them with confidantes.

"At that time, the general only needs to close the gates of the various palaces to cut off the news. The thieves have rushed to attack and lack the siege equipment, so they can only look at the wall and sigh."

As he spoke, Chen Yuankang coaxed:
"Your Majesty ordered his son to be the governor of Gyeonggi, and led [-] troops to the south to garrison Luoyang, which will arrive soon. This is why the Zongwangs are eager to rebel.

"The general only needs to defend the palace city. When the prince arrives, the thieves will surely collapse! If you abandon the army and run away, and meet the thieves on the way, how can you protect yourself!"

Lou Zhao and Gao Longzhi didn't know that Gao Cheng was appointed governor of Gyeonggi, and it was even more impossible to know that there were only 3000 people under Duan Shao's command.

"Sir, are you serious? Ah Hui really led 3 people to the south?"

Lou Zhao said in surprise.

If the method of thunder is really used, it can indeed deter the imperial army for several days and barely defend the city.

What he was worried about was that after Gao Huan received the news, he would raise troops from Jinyang. Even if he defeated the rebels, he would have to go to the palace to collect the corpse for himself.

Chen Yuankang made a sloppy eye, and said seriously:
"Yuan Kang dare not lie, the son was indeed ordered to command 3 troops to garrison the capital. The situation is urgent, so please don't hesitate, the general, so as not to miss the opportunity!"

Gao Longzhi was the first to be persuaded, and turned to persuade Lou Zhao. If it was true what Chen Yuankang said, Miyagi would be the safest place, and he would even wish to bring his family members here.

Lou Zhao was also decisive, so he immediately summoned the generals of the imperial army to discuss the matter under the pretext of discussing rewards.

It turned out that compared with the local frontier army who lived by looting supplies, the Luoyang Forbidden Army relied more on the emperor's rewards to accumulate family wealth, but some of these rewards were always withheld by the generals.

Seeing that Lou Zhao was going to renegotiate the distribution of rewards, everyone was overjoyed. In these days, how could anyone not be greedy for money? As the leading general, Lou Zhao wanted more shares, so he couldn't treat these generals badly.

After handing over the weapon to the guards, Lou Zhao didn't appear for a long time, so there was inevitably some discussion, and then he realized that there was no one placed by Lou Zhaoan in the hall, and finally realized something was wrong, and rioted.

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

"What do you mean, General!"

"Lou Zhao! You want to kill us!"

"I'm innocent, how can you kill me unjustly! The emperor blames me, you can't bear it!"

Emperor to blame?Lou Zhao snorted coldly, and he shouted to the generals:

"King Qinghe plotted rebellion, and was noticed by King Gao. The army is about to go south, and he ordered the general to control the situation in Miyagi. If you agree with King Gao, you can wait here for King Gao. We will not make things difficult for you!"

Hearing this, many generals who were in contact with Yuan Quan and others tried to rush out of the hall, but were hacked and killed one by one by Lou Zhao's confidant and his troops.

They couldn't figure it out until they died, how did Gao find out the news before it was time to act.

"I will wait for nothing."

The rest of the people shouted one after another, and stayed in the lobby honestly, allowing the series to be taken over by Lou Zhao's cronies.

When Lou Zhao ordered people to lock the palace gate tightly, Chen Yuankang and Gao Longzhi were leading a group of soldiers to break into Yuan Shanjian's bedroom.

"Chen Gao Long's message to His Majesty, the king of Qinghe has plotted against the law and intends to abolish the emperor and stand on his own. Please also issue an imperial edict to announce his guilt to the world."

Ten-year-old Yuan Shanjian was still in panic, he said tremblingly:

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

Gao Longzhi snapped:
"Your Majesty is the heir of Emperor Xiaoming, what have you to do with King Qinghe! I have already prepared an imperial edict for Your Majesty, please use your seal!"

After saying that, Gao Longzhi wanted to go forward to grab the seal kept by the palace man.

"Gao Longzhi! How dare you bully the emperor like this!"

It turned out that it was the queen who broke in surrounded by the palace people, shouting and cursing.

The soldiers dared to follow Gao Longzhi and others to persecute the emperor, but none of them dared to stop the empress.

Because she is Gao Huan's first daughter.

When Empress Gao heard that Gao Long's leading soldiers had broken into the harem, she was worried that he was going to kill the king, so she hurried over.

Chen Yuankang, who had been keeping calm all this time, stood up and stopped Empress Gao:

"Servant Chen Yuankang, who works in the prince's shogunate, I would like to inform your highness that we are not bullying the emperor, but the king of Qinghe conspired against him. We are ordered by the prince to ask the emperor to issue an edict.

"However, considering the grace of childbearing, the Son of Heaven is unwilling to do anything, and in desperation, he has no choice but to make a bad move.

"The emperor is safe and secure, please don't obstruct your Highness."

The 12-year-old Empress Gao blinked her eyes and asked doubtfully:

"Is it really what brother said?"

"Exactly."

"I won't leave, and I won't obstruct it. I'll just watch from the sidelines. If I really dare to harm the emperor, I will let my elder brother deal with you."

Although Queen Gao was not driven away, it would not add to the chaos.

When Chen Yuankang looked back, Gao Longzhi had already taken away the seal with the help of the soldiers, and used the seal instead of the emperor.

"Don't kill my father! Don't kill my father! I can give up the position of emperor and return it to King Gao. Don't kill my family!"

Yuan Shanjian was crying and begging on the couch, which made Empress Gao, who had planned to comfort her husband afterwards, unable to stay any longer, covered her face and walked away under guilt.

Gao Longzhi handed the imperial edict to Chen Yuankang, who handed it to Lou Zhao, while he himself led a group of soldiers to guard Yuan Shanjian.

Chen Yuankang held the edict tightly, feeling excited.

He didn't have any evidence to confirm that Yuan Quan was going to rebel. All this was just speculation based on the conjectures made by the Zong kings taking advantage of Luoyang's emptiness to gather slaves.

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

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 leader was Qinghe Wang Yuanqian.
