Chapter 185 When you wake up
Sima Xiuzhi didn't know that he had actually been poisoned deeply, a poison called ambition, and this poison only had an antidote called a broken head.
Things seemed to be progressing smoothly. In the name of visit, Sima Xiuzhi successfully poured the poison Ruyi gave him into Lu Qiang's medicine, and then watched Xie Wushuang drink the medicine to Lu Qiang in a coma.
The last obstacle has been removed, and the next step is to deal with those disobedient officials.
Speaking of this matter, Sima Xiuzhi was a little annoyed, because after receiving his notice, many civil officials from the state governments came, and even the capitals of Shuzhong Wang Dan, Jiaozhou Han Yanzhi, Guangzhou Wu Yinzhi and Xunyang Yan Yanzhi came back, but none of the generals who led the army came back.
Their reply is very simple. The garrison general does not have a strong order, and no one has the right to mobilize.
However, Sima Xiuzhi did not have the patience to wait any longer. After the state government officials arrived, they immediately convened these people in the government office and asked Zhou Kui to lead troops to close the city gates and block the streets.
The gate had to be closed, because Zhao Lunwen led his troops to station outside, and after the last incident, he no longer obeyed the orders of anyone, including Wang Zhen's evil.
Deng Xiang didn't know why and was about to ask Zhou Kui what was going on, but he saw that Lu Qiang's personal bodyguard Ding Si came to his room and left without saying a letter.
Deng Xiang was a little puzzled, but he only looked at the letter a few times, and his eyes stood up. After collecting the letter, he went out and got on his horse and rushed to the cavalry battalion.
The cavalry battalion is stationed in the city, but the cavalry battalion still has only 3,000 people, and the 10,000 war horses sent by the State of Qin have not been equipped to the army.
Deng Xiang had just arrived at the barracks, and the people sent by Zhou Kui also arrived. Zhou Kui sent someone to tell Deng Xiang that today, state government officials would discuss major events. In order to avoid small disturbances, Jiangling temporarily martial law and asked Deng Xiang to cooperate.
Deng Xiang sneered secretly and immediately told the person that he would restrain his subordinates and would not lead troops out of the camp. If necessary, he could inform him at any time.
In this way, the last armed force in the city has also stood on the side. Sima Xiuzhi can safely force officials to support him.
Wang Zhenvil and Xie Wangzu looked at Sima Xiuzhi with pale faces. They were all invited by Sima Xiuzhi's own soldiers. At this time, even Tao Yuanming sensed Sima Xiuzhi's ambition.
Under the escort of fully armed soldiers, Sima Xiuzhi went directly to the middle of the lobby, glanced at the officials with a cold expression and said, "Lord Lu's will take over the post of Jing and Jiang Assassy. I hope that all the public will fulfill their duties and cooperate with this officer to kill as soon as possible..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Dan stood up and said coldly, "General Sima, do you think there is Lord Lu's will, and you dare to ask where the will is? In addition, although Lord Lu is still unconscious, he is not dead. How can he say his will?
Sima Xiuzhi knew that there would be some opposition, and he was ready to speak. He smiled and said, "I'm afraid you still don't know the true identity of Lord Lu, right?"
Wang Zhen saw that Sima Xiuzhi wanted to tell Lu Qiang's true identity and hurriedly said, "General Sima, as long as you take out Lord Lu's warrant, we will support you to be the history of Jing and Jiang. Otherwise, even if we agree, I'm afraid that those generals who lead the army will not admit it."
Sima Xiuzhi's hand order to go there? At the same time, Wang Zhen's evil words were also tinging his shortcomings, and he couldn't help but be ashamed and angry.
"Under the whole world, is it Wang Tu, what you have done is the official position of our Sima family. Now that the emperor has gone, you should support me as the Lord. As long as you support me as the Lord and return to Jiankang in the future, everyone can enjoy high officials"
Han Yanzhi heard Sima Xiuzhi's speech sickness and interrupted, "Your Majesty was also placed under house arrest by Liu Yu in Jiankang. How can General Sima say that Your Majesty has gone?"
Wang Zhen gave Xie Wangzu a bad look. The two couldn't help sighing at the same time, knowing that it was impossible to continue to keep this secret.
Sure enough, I heard Sima Xiuzhi sneered and said, "The Jiankang is just occupying a place for Lord Lu. The real name of Lord Lu is not Lu Qiang, but Sima Dezong"
"Wang!..."
Sima Xiuzhi's words can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves. Everyone thought that Lu Qiang was likely to be a royal family, but they didn't expect that he was the former idiot emperor.
After arriving in Jiangling, the officials have visited Lu Qiang. They know that Lu Qiang is indeed ill, but after all, he still has a tone, so most of them disagree with Sima Xiuzhi replacing Lu Qiang.
It can even be said that Sima Xiuzhi's prestige is not enough to convince the public at all. However, if Lu Qiang was the emperor, the situation would be different.
After the surprise, many people began to meditate.
Han Yanzhi did not buy Sima Xiuzhi's account and said proudly, "If Lord Lu is really the first emperor, the only one who can replace Lord Lu is His Majesty Jiankang. At the same time, General Sima can't take out the order of Lord Lu, so General Sima will replace Lord Lu. Please forgive me for not being able to obey."
Yan Yanzhi turned aside Sima Xiu's eyes and hummed, "What can General Sima do even if I stay here? As far as the subordinate knows, General Zhao's people will come into the city at any time. Do you think everything will be fine with Zhou Kui's support?
Sima Xiuzhi thought that someone would object, but now it seems that no one is willing to support him. He can't help saying angrily, "Come on, please go down and wake up."
With Sima Xiuzhi's words, more than a dozen of his own soldiers rushed up like wolves, pressed Han Yanzhi and Yanzhi, gagged and tied them up, and dragged them out.
Wang Zhenshu couldn't stand it anymore and said angrily, "Sima Xiuzhi, you are so bold. Without Lord Lu's order, who dares to deal with the governor of a state? Let go of the two adults"
Sima Xiuzhi smiled gloomly and said, "As long as they are loyal to me, I will let them go immediately."
Everyone understands that Sima Xiuzhi is going to be hard.
What can I do? They are all civil servants with no soldiers and no generals, and they are surrounded by Sima Xiuzhi's warriors. They are all light when caught. In case Sima Xiuzhi is in a hurry, this guy has to kill people!
But if they agree like this, what else do they have to be officials in Jingzhou? You should know that they were all promoted by Lu Qiang.
Just when Sima Xiuzhi and the officials were in a stalemate in the government office, Zhou Kui had already toured outside Lu Qiang's house. Of course, there will be no martial law here. With Lu Qiang's serious illness, not only is it not deserted, but people come from all directions every day to pray for Lu Qiang, hoping that their Lord Lu will get better soon.
However, today, due to the external martial law, there is no endless crowd here.
Although people are not for themselves and will be destroyed, Zhou Kui still has a trace of guilt when thinking about Lu Qiang lying inside. After all, without Lu Qiang, he would not have today.
At this moment, a rapid sound of horseshoes sounded behind him. Zhou Kui, who was about to turn the horse's head, looked at the sound, but saw that it was a captain under him.
"General, it's not good. Someone opened the gate with Lord Lu's order. Now General Zhao's army has entered the city."
"What?"
Hearing this, Zhou Kui almost fell from his horse and turned his head and looked at the Assassin's Mansion in surprise. At this moment, he suddenly understood that Lu Qiang was afraid he had woken up long ago and waited for the moment when they started!
As if cooperating with Zhou Kui's idea, the earth under his feet suddenly shook. Zhou Kui's soldiers turned their heads and saw the cavalry rushing here.
At the same time, the door of the Assassin House was also opened, and countless bodyguards swarmed out. At the moment, eight strong men came out of it carrying a soft couch.
His face is still a little unhealthy and pale, but Lu Qiang, who is very energetic, sits on it. Next to him was He Wuji, dressed in a uniform.
Under the accumulation of power, Zhou Kui and his men did not have any resistance at all, so they knelt directly to the ground.
At this time, Deng Xiang's cavalry had rushed to the front and surrounded Zhou Kui and his men.
Lu Qiang's soft couch stopped when he passed Zhou Kui, who was kneeling on the ground, and his voice seemed to come from the sky.
"Brother Zhou, does Lu owe you anything?"
After asking this sentence, the soft couch stopped and walked directly to the government office.
Listening to Lu Qiang's words, Zhou Kui couldn't help flowing down.
Looking at Zhou Kui kneeling there, Deng Xiang sighed secretly. General Zhou lost his defeat and did not have that ability, but tried to get something that did not belong to him.
"General Zhou, break it by yourself! Don't embarrass the adults, the adults promise to take care of your family"
Lu Qiang, under the escort of an iron horse, met Zhao Lunwen as soon as he walked across a street.
Zhao Lunwen took the lead and saw Lu Qiang sitting on the soft couch with a haggard face. His heart suddenly became sore. Before tears flowed down, he got off the saddle and knelt on the roadside on one knee, but did not say anything. He was afraid that his choking voice would be laughed at.
Lu Qiang was carried to his side and nodded with a smile, "You're fine. Get up! Let's see what else General Sima can play."
"Yes"
Zhao Lunwen agreed loudly, then stood up and turned over the horse and urged the horse to walk beside He Wuji.
He Wuji nodded to him with a smile. This was recommended to Lu Qiang and did not disappoint him at the critical moment.
There are two big trees in the yard of the government office. At this time, Han Yanzhi and Yanzhi were tied to the tree, and the government was also stripped off. Several Sima Xiuzhi's own soldiers were trying to wave whips to greet them.
Although these two are civil officials, they are very backbone. Except for scolding Sima Xiuzhi, they did not cry for pain.
Sima Xiuzhi couldn't help it. Although he didn't want to kill, the current situation was that he couldn't control these best friends if he didn't kill.
tremblingly pointed to Wang Zhen and others, and said angrily, "You... This is what you forced me to do..."
Before the words fell, the gate of the government office was suddenly knocked open from the outside, and then countless soldiers poured in.
Zhou Kui was responsible for the government office. In order to deter these officials, hundreds of soldiers gathered in the government office, so that what happened outside was not known at all.
Before the stunned Sima Xiuzhi asked questions, he heard someone shouting: "Lord Lu is here"
With the shouting, Lu Qiang was slowly carried into the gate of the government office.
Looking at Lu Qiang sitting high, Sima Xiuzhi opened his mouth in shock, as if he had seen a ghost...
