Chapter 696

ps, chapter anti-theft, corrected later…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Even the remaining dead soldiers in black seemed a little insignificant in the wave of cavalry that could sweep all. No matter how brave or powerful they were, they could not withstand the impact of the cavalry camp.

Therefore, the black-clothed dead soldiers refused to retreat. The battle was finally over, but they could no longer turn the situation around. Almost all the black-clothed dead soldiers fell at the door of the Gaoling Marquis' Mansion.

Cao Liang did not pay any attention to the fleeing rebels. Anyway, the purpose of his trip was to save his family. Now that the Gaoling Marquis' Mansion is safe and sound, Cao Liang's heart can finally be put back in his stomach.

The reason why Cao Liang did not pursue the escaped rebels was because he had more important things to complete.

The situation in Luoyang City has become increasingly tense. Gaoling Marquis' Mansion has been attacked by rebels. With the first time, there will be a second time and the third time. This time may be considered a lucky defence, but the next rebel attack may be more fierce than this time. Cao Liang cannot guarantee whether the family soldiers who stayed in the Marquis' Mansion can defend it.

Therefore, the Gaoling Marquis Mansion is no longer a livable place. In the past, in order to confuse Sima Yi, Cao Liang had to put his mother, wife and children in danger. Fortunately, he was kept this time, otherwise Cao Liang would really regret it for life.

The rebellion of the Sima family has broken out, and the Gaoling Marquis' Mansion has also become an important target for their attack. Obviously, it is no longer meaningful to continue to stay in the Gaoling Marquis' Mansion, and evacuation has become a top priority.

At this moment, the Luoyang Palace became much empty due to the departure of Emperor Cao Fang. It was precisely because of this that when Sima Zhao led his troops to capture the palace, Sima Zhao couldn't believe it.

Logically speaking, the palace is the most solid place in the world. Usually, the palace is very cautious. No one can even get close to the palace, let alone occupying the palace.

Sima Yi listed the capture of the palace as one of the three most important things. One was to capture the twelve cities in Luoyang City, the second was to capture the arsenal, and the third was to control the palace.

What made Sima Yi mixed with joy and sorrow was that the operation to capture Luoyang City Gate was relatively smooth, but he personally led the team to capture the arsenal. As a result, someone set a torch in front of him and burned the arsenal, which made Sima Yihu's plan to arm the entire private army failed.

Now Sima Yi can only rely on Empress Dowager Guo. If the emperor leaves the city, then Empress Dowager Guo becomes the leader of the harem. If she can stand up and support the Sima family at this time, the current unfavorable status of the Sima family can be eliminated.

After withdrawing from the arsenal, Sima Yi immediately decided to meet Empress Dowager Guo. He even didn't bother to take care of the attack on the Gaoling Marquis' Mansion, so he just appointed Jia Chong to lead his troops.

Sima Yi rode his charge car and went straight to the palace. At this time, Sima Zhao had completely controlled the imperial guards of the palace. Sima Yi could enter by car and travel freely.

However, Sima Yi did not do this. He got off the car at the door of the car as usual and walked to Yongning Palace to see his respect for Empress Dowager Guo.

Yongning Palace is located in the northwest corner of the palace community and is the most remote place in the entire Luoyang Royal Palace.

Cao Shuang was tyrannical and forced Empress Dowager Guo to Yongning Palace, not allowing Empress Dowager Guo to meet the emperor, which was equivalent to Empress Dowager Guo being in a state of semi-housed arrest.

On the surface, Empress Dowager Guo succumbed to Cao Shuang and did not dare to resist at all, but Empress Dowager Guo is not a simple woman. She can go from a captured border woman to the queen who will eventually become the queen who commands the throne. Can a woman with no brains do it?

The temporary forbearance is just for the final counterattack. From this point of view, Empress Dowager Guo has similarities with Sima Yi.

What's more, they have a common enemy, Cao Shuang.

Therefore, when Empress Dowager Guo knew about Sima Yi's purpose, she hit it off and agreed to Sima Yi's request one by one. She personally wrote an imperial edict to the world to depose all positions of General Cao Shuang, and the Grand Tutor Sima Yi came to take charge of the government affairs and acted cheaply.

Empress Dowager Guo had a deep resentment towards Cao Shuang. The reason why he endured it until now was because there was no chance. Sima Yi, who was pretending to be sick, suddenly stood up and implemented military rebellion. Empress Dowager Guo didn't care whether Sima Yi's military rebellion was a military rebellion, and did not intend to usurp the throne. Anyway, this was an excellent opportunity to deal with Cao Shuang, so Empress Dowager Guo naturally would not let it go easily.

Sima Yi was very satisfied with his trip to Yongning Palace. This imperial decree was definitely like a timely rain. If there was no imperial decree, Sima Yi would face pressure and criticism from all over the country. He could defend himself that this was an act of military admonition, but if there was no imperial decree from the empress dowager, the so-called military admonition would be rebellion.

After receiving the imperial edict, Sima Yi respectfully bowed and bowed. During the entire interview process, Sima Yi maintained a humble attitude as a minister and treated Empress Dowager Guo very well, which naturally made Empress Dowager Guo happy.

There are two different concepts about having an imperial edict or not. To a certain extent, the imperial edict applied for by Empress Dowager Guo put a legal cloak on Sima Yi's illegal actions, making Sima Yi even more wings and want nothing to do.

Sima Yi left Yongning Palace with a relaxed look on his face, and walked all the way to the end of the car door.

I have to say that this section of the road is actually quite long. Not to mention an old man like Sima Yi, who is nearly 70 years old, who is just a young man who walks the entire journey as fast as possible, it is difficult to keep his face and bend his heart.

However, for Sima Yi, it would be worthwhile to get this imperial edict even if he took two more steps. Now he has realized his original plan, which is to obtain the support of the empress dowager, and then submit a memorial to the emperor in Gaopingling, requesting that all positions of General Cao Shuang be removed.

This memorial will undoubtedly be handed over to Cao Shuang, rather than presented to Cao Fang in person. Whether Cao Fang can see it is actually irrelevant. This memorial was written for Cao Shuang.

Sima Yi wanted Cao Shuang to know that as long as he handed over the military power, he would not cause any harm to death. All the titles and salaries were preserved, and Cao Shuang could be a safe and sound wealthy man for a lifetime.

As for the final result, it doesn't matter. As long as Cao Shuang handed over the military power, he would become a fish on the chopping board and let Sima Yi slaughter and take it away.

Sima Yi came to the car door and did not rush to leave the palace. Instead, he sent someone to present him with a pen and write the memorial to Emperor Cao Fang himself, and sent someone to send him out of the city.
