Please call me Your Majesty!

Chapter 175 Huan Yi will never let Chu Shizhao down.

The sudden appearance of the Liangzhou army led by Huan Jie was completely beyond Chu Shixu's expectations.

This is sheer rebellion!
Without the court's dispatch, what reason did the Liangzhou army have to come to Chang'an? This was an act that was out of the court's control.

Even if the Fourth Prince had thought that Chu Shixu wanted to force the emperor to abdicate, would the Prince of Jin have the courage to predict it in advance and have the Liangzhou Army be ready to support Chang'an at any time?
This is impossible.

Or maybe Chu Shizhao also had the idea of ​​seizing the world and let the Liangzhou army enter Chang'an in advance, but this is very illogical.

Because Chu Shizhao was in the south, even if the Liangzhou army helped him seize the world, he could not come over and had no way to come to Chang'an.

Therefore, this matter was simply a fantasy for the Eastern Palace.

After all, this was the most unlikely situation. When Chu Shizhao was in the south, he had no way to dispatch border troops, and he had no reason to do so. The people of the Liangzhou Army left their own garrison areas and came to Chang'an without any dispatch from the court.

Even if this Liangzhou army came to rescue the emperor, it is still a capital crime.

No matter who wins, the actions of the Liangzhou Army are an encroachment on the imperial power. This is a blatant provocation to the royal family and their Great Zhou's country.

Now the situation in Chang'an is completely messed up.

The Eastern Palace team headed by himself actually had less than one-third of the influential people in Chang'an. They only gained momentum in a short period of time due to the chaos led by Chu Shixu. What he expected was that the border troops from Fanyang would enter Chang'an, cut the Gordian knot and settle the situation.

If Chu Shixu continues like this and fails to completely control Chang'an, giving his father room to react, then it will be a real dead end, a dead end with no chance of success.

In the imperial city, Emperor Yongjin was surrounded by guards from the Wude Division. Officers and soldiers led by Dou Li were guarding the main roads of the imperial city.

Guo Qian led the few Wudesi guards in Chang'an to support Huangfu Jian, who was in charge of the three armies. He planned to let the old general command his old subordinates and organize a team to fight against the rebels.

Huangfu Jian still hasn't figured out the situation outside. The first-hand information he received was from people from the East Palace.

It is said that the emperor has passed away and Chu Shixu is going to take over his position.

Chu Shixu ordered him to organize the army and be ready to be dispatched at any time. When the turmoil in Chang'an was settled, he was appointed as the general.

Huangfu Jian had experienced many ups and downs in Liangzhou, so he could not be fooled by such a cover-up. He noticed the strangeness of the matter at the first moment and did not dare to accept Chu Shixu's order at all.

What a joke.

Emperor Yongjin passed away.

No decree of succession?
Even though he was a military man, he knew that the emperor's death had to go through many procedures. None of the ministers showed any signs, and Emperor Yongjin was fine, but suddenly died, leaving him to take over the throne. Such a hasty disclosure made Huangfu Jian believe that there must be something wrong.

He refused to leave the tent and asked his personal guards to guard the main road because he saw the danger and treacherousness in it and did not want to fall into a trap.

It was not until Guo Qian came with the imperial edict from Emperor Yongjin that Huangfu Jian realized that the Eastern Palace had done something outrageous.

He was forcing the emperor to abdicate, and with the sword of the nobles he aimed at his father's head.

Huangfu Jian was more aware of how much influence his every move at any time would have on the court. If he followed Chu Shixu, it would be time for the court to change its owner.

However, Huangfu Jian couldn't do this.

He was a powerful man born in Liangzhou, and for generation after generation he had been looked down upon by the great families in Guanzhong. For many years, the Guanzhong gentry regarded the people of Liangzhou as barbarians, and felt that their loyalty and integrity were unreliable.

Now that I have really done it with Chu Shixu, what does it matter even if I get wealth and glory?

What Huangfu Jian wanted was to improve the status of people from Liangzhou in Chang'an and other places. He did not want to see the scholars and soldiers from Liangzhou being despised by people from Guanzhong again.

He has experienced this kind of grievance.

Therefore, Huangfu Jian did not want the Liangzhou men who came after him to suffer such hardships and grievances again.

"Being loyal to the emperor is the duty of a minister." Huangfu Jian confirmed the official document on the imperial edict.

He also knew that Guo Qian was a close confidant of Emperor Yongjin.

After ensuring that there were no problems with the imperial edict, he probably had a clear understanding of the situation in Chang'an, and immediately ordered his personal guards to dispatch the Liangzhou troops who were ready to receive orders at any time in the Three Prefectures Army.

However, the nobles behind Chu Shixu had already done this, and they were obviously not stupid enough to let Huangfu Jian form an effective command and really suppress the momentum of the Eastern Palace. After failing to obtain Huangfu Jian's guarantee and loyalty, the nobles had already used those available men to surround the Liangzhou Army, which was resting in the Three Prefectures Army and was unaware of the situation.

They informed the soldiers of the Liangzhou Army that the Eastern Palace and General Huangfu were hosting a banquet to entertain all the soldiers, and asked them to lay down their weapons and gather in the camp.

At the same time, he secretly deployed manpower, and when the soldiers of the Liangzhou Army were still a little dazed and unaware of the movements of the outside world, he directly shot and killed these Liangzhou soldiers from the high platform outside the camp.

If these Liangzhou troops were really forced to take up arms and form effective combat power, they would indeed be no match.

However, it is very easy to use some tricks to trick these people into laying down their weapons, and then use the advantageous terrain to kill them.

Chu Shixu really needs this power, but if this power blocks his way forward, he must eliminate it when necessary.

As soon as Huangfu Jian did not respond, the people of the Donggong Party killed most of Huangfu Jian's old subordinates who could be deployed.

The situation has become so chaotic.

Winning or losing is really important.

The loser will have his entire clan exterminated.

Those big families who followed Chu Shixu, those members of the Donggong Party obviously knew that they had gone too far and it was difficult to turn back now, so they decided to do it completely.

These soldiers of the Liangzhou Army never imagined that they traveled thousands of miles to aid Chang'an, but did not die at the hands of the Huns, but died at the hands of their own people.

When Huangfu Jian learned the news, his face turned blood red. You have to know that these Liangzhou troops were the team led by Huangfu Jian himself.

In order to show his loyalty to the court, he told his soldiers that if their superiors in the court gave them any instructions, they should try their best to follow them as his orders.

Unexpectedly, just this one sentence killed thousands of his elite soldiers, leaving only less than 500 personal guards by Huangfu Jian's side.

Huangfu Jian gnashed his teeth, he led his warhorse and shouted: "My fellow soldiers, the East Palace plotted rebellion and killed my brothers and sisters. Now, His Majesty has issued an order, ordering me to eliminate the rebellion."

"Wherever I go, I will kill anyone who stands in my way."

He doesn't care whether you are in the Eastern Palace or not. He just wants revenge for his men.

Since His Majesty wants him to eliminate the rebellion, why not just kill the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace who is plotting to usurp the throne!
And outside Chang'an.

Huan Yi rushed towards Chang'an with only a hundred cavalrymen.

Huan Jie was firmly opposed to this rash expedition, because he was very suspicious of how Huan Yi knew that the Eastern Palace was planning a rebellion.

Leaving the jurisdiction like this and going to Chang'an without Chang'an's dispatch, isn't this tantamount to going against Chang'an?

If nothing had happened, this act alone would have been enough to charge him with the death penalty for treason.

But at this time, Huan Yi had no choice but to fight.

No matter what, this is related to the great cause of Prince Jin. If the East Palace succeeds, the situation will be extremely unfavorable for Chu Shizhao.

Huan Yi knew that she had neither the ability nor the power to persuade her second brother Huan Jie, but she tried her best and borrowed more than a hundred elite cavalrymen from the Huan family.

By then, if nothing really happened in Chang'an, Huan Yi could use the excuse that more than a hundred cavalrymen were chasing Qiang bandits and got lost all the way to Chang'an.

You can turn back at any time.

If something big really happened, these more than a hundred cavalrymen could still do something. For example, Huan Yi could go directly into Chang'an and kill Chu Shixu of the Eastern Palace, or even kill Chu Shizhao's brothers and leave only Chu Shizhao.

Moreover, Huan Yi believed that if something unexpected really happened, Chu Shizhao would be able to protect her.

This trust is forged through simulation.

Never let you down.
