Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1079: All the aristocratic families are imprisoned, and the two ministers are in mourning

The scholars from the aristocratic families gathered in Jixian quickly found a courtyard to meet and planned to discuss a countermeasure to allow Chen Zhi to take back his life, maintain peace in Youzhou, and allow them to continue to be peaceful.

"There is a war going on everywhere at the moment, but there are no weapons in Youzhou. It is a pleasure to attract all parties to surrender. Why is the general confused for a moment and wants to use troops? We are gathered here to dissuade this and prevent the good situation from being ruined." .”

The leader made it clear and explained the reasons, and the others applauded and joined in the discussion.

At the same time, people from aristocratic families who hold positions are also taking action.

"Mr. Lu, you have to come forward this time!"

On the night when Chen Zhi announced his decision, Tang Zi ignored the criticism and went directly to Lu Zhi's house to visit him. When they met, he revealed the reason for his visit.

"Families and clans from various counties and counties sent people over, and they also got the news. It can be seen that the general did not keep the news secret. Since we know it, the Huns must also know it, and they must be prepared. How can this be possible? I'm afraid? If a war breaks out, all life will be ruined, and Youzhou's good situation will be ruined!"

"I'm afraid it won't be easy to change this matter." Lu Zhi smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't know that Tang Zi's words had unfinished meaning, but he also hit the key point, that is, the local clans were actually unwilling to break the current situation. I want to continue making money, but with this war, not to mention making money, judging from the past, I am afraid that even my life will be difficult.

"I have never seen the general lose his temper so much," Lu Zhi saw that Tang Zi wanted to say more, and couldn't help but reveal some secrets, "You think I didn't dissuade you? Yesterday I knew that the general was going to use force against the Xiongnu, so I went over there overnight to dissuade him. , As a result, I didn’t even see the general’s people!”

"Didn't even Lu Gong see the general?" Tang Zi finally realized the seriousness of the problem, "In this case, there is really no room for maneuver, alas."

Lu Zhi was also worried and said: "What is certain at the moment is that this matter is unstoppable, so don't do useless efforts anymore. It is better to prepare early." Of course he was worried, his son was still in Bingzhou. If a war really broke out, his son would be It's dangerous!
Tang Zi was startled and asked again: "What Mr. Lu means is to transfer the family's property..."

"Don't do this!" Lu Zhi shook his head, "What I want is for you to go back and mobilize the clansmen to unify their thoughts. Don't think about any losses. You must be consistent with the general's caliber. Don't have other ideas, let alone Transfer your assets, otherwise there will be endless trouble!”

"This..." Tang Zi frowned, but soon understood, and nodded with a wry smile, "This is indeed true. Mr. Lu, you have seen it thoroughly. This situation cannot be ignored. After the students go back, they will Inform the tribe."

Lu Zhi nodded, and was about to say more, when there was a knock on the door, and then the voice of his confidant in charge came in——

"My lord, something is wrong!"

"What's the matter, come in and tell me." Lu Zhi's heart trembled, and he vaguely guessed something.

"My lord, those people from the Luo family and the Zheng family gathered together to discuss, but they were all arrested by the Secret Service. Now the female relatives of the families have come to our house, hoping that we can come forward to make decisions for them and put this matter to death. Rescue those who were caught.”

"what?"

Lu Zhishang didn't say anything, but Tang Zi couldn't calm down anymore. He asked eagerly: "Are you talking about those people from aristocratic families and clans gathered together?"

"Exactly!"

Tang Zi suddenly turned pale: "This is terrible. I didn't expect the general to be so determined. These people have hit the iron plate!" The reason why he reacted like this was because the Tang family, as the head of Daijun, also Participating in this gathering, this was investigated after the fact, that is not clear, maybe he will also involve himself, ruining his official career!
Thinking in this way, Tang Zi turned to Lu Zhi for help.

Lu Zhi sighed, stood up and said, "In that case, you and I should go to the General's Mansion..."

After the words fell, chaotic footsteps suddenly sounded outside, causing Lu Zhi and Tang Zi's expressions to change suddenly.

When Tong Hai walked in with a group of people, Lu Zhi couldn't help but sneered: "Okay, even here, you guys came here whenever you wanted. Tell me, where will you take me? Where will I be locked up?"

"Mr. Lu misunderstood," Tong Hai shook his head gently, "I'm here to inform you that the people from the aristocratic families who have been arrested, you don't have to worry about it for the time being, and don't leave the house again in the next few days..."

"Okay!" Lu Zhi's eyes widened, "They're going to put me under house arrest. That's awesome! I'm going to see the general now and ask him why he let you vicious dogs go!"

Hearing the word "evil dog", everyone behind Tong Hai showed anger, but Tong Hai still had a smile. He chuckled and said: "If you want to see the general, that's easy, but you have to wait for a while. , because the general at this moment..."

"We have already brought our troops and horses to march westward!" "What!?"

Lu Zhi and Tang Zi were shocked, and then looked at each other.

They really didn't expect that Chen Zhi would have gone on an expedition at this time, and he would do it himself!
What on earth did the Huns do to make the always calm General Zhengbei go to such a state!
………………

Outside Luoyang City, the atmosphere in Shile's army camp was solemn.

Shi Le, who was so high-spirited just a few days ago, no longer wanted to be so angry that he felt like a huge boulder was weighing on his heart.

A group of subordinates, including several major generals, many advisers, and even small officials in the army who are responsible for mobilizing supplies, all gathered here, including Jie people, Huns, Xianbei people, and Han people.

They stared at Shi Le nervously, as if they were waiting for the verdict.

"The news has been confirmed, the Emperor of the Central Plains... collapsed."

Shi Le slowly uttered these words.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the big tent became heavy, and many people's expressions changed wildly.

Immediately afterwards, several officials from the Han family fell to the ground and cried loudly.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

"Hongnu thief, we and you are inseparable!"

"I ask the commander to lead the army to attack the Xiongnu to avenge your father!"

The emotions of these people collapsed in an instant, and they were speechless.

Previously, it was just a rumor, which already caused people to panic, but now Shi Le personally confirmed it, and the Han family officials could not bear the impact immediately, and their emotions collapsed in a matter of seconds.

But what they said made many people angry.

There were many Huns under Shi Le's command. Most of the 3000 people he sent south were Huns, and some of them were promoted to generals and are now in the big tent.

So these people immediately jumped out, pointed at several Han family officials who were crying and shouted: "Where did the emperor come from? The Emperor of the Central Plains is our enemy, and you are actually crying because of his death. You are all traitors! "

"Chang Hou, you usually pretend to be a handsome and loyal minister, but now you have finally shown your true colors, and you still say you are not a spy!"

"At the critical moment, he showed his true colors, Commander, these people are all spies sent by the Han people, let's kill them!"

Several Han officials were already sad, and when they heard these words, they became even more furious and refuted, but they could not stop crying for a while.

The scene was a mess.

"enough!"

Shi Le suddenly stood up and shouted in a deep voice to stop.

"We will postpone the attack on the city for today, and we will discuss it tomorrow! Everyone, please retreat!"
