It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

It is not unreasonable for Yang Xianrong to say such a thing.

Mao Hongbin also knew very well that the current situation was that Sima Zhong did not have any real power and was led by various people. If he had not had the imperial seal by his side, he would have been an outcast and killed long ago.

Sima Ying dared to run back to Luoyang and live in Hanzhang Palace, let alone other princes with hundreds of thousands of horses.

What needs to be solved now is not Liu Yuan's five Xiongnu tribes, but what Sima Ying, Sima Yue and Sima Yong are going to do.

Shangshu Pushe Xunfan, Sili Colonel Liu Dun, Henan Yin Zhoufu, Zhongshu Superintendent He Shaogong and Beijun Mansion Mao Hongbin were all diehard loyalists who stayed with Sima Zhong. For them, if Sima Zhong died, they would not What a happy ending.

It’s difficult for everyone and the situation is very chaotic.

"Hey, why are you kneeling here? Let's eat something first." Mao Hongmao walked over quickly carrying two large food boxes. He paused when he saw this scene and then said, "Even if the sky falls, there will be tall people." The biggest thing in life is to eat! Second brother, eat, eat!"

Mao Hongbin saw that his brother, who was so fair-skinned, was actually complacent and gained weight. He couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Brother, how much have you eaten? Why are you so fat?"

"Hey, the Queen doesn't want to eat, and I'm afraid of wasting it, so I have to grit my teeth and eat it myself." Mao Hongmao smiled happily and started setting the table. Anyway, now there are no pens, inks, papers and inkstones in the study, so it is very clean.

Cuixi and Lanxiang looked at each other and stood up to help.

Zhang Liangxue and Luzhu also immediately went to get clean dishes, chopsticks and hot tea and served them aside.

Mao Hongbin pulled Yang Xianrong's sleeves to calm her down, and then continued: "Anyway, there are so many of us, there will be something we can do."

"I hope so." Yang Xianrong couldn't bear to affect his bad mood to others, and finally endured it himself.

In fact, she was upset.

Another thing is that Sima Ying, who has hundreds of thousands of troops and is in such good shape in Yecheng, can be defeated. So who will come to Luoyang next? Will it be more powerful?

Things cannot be thought about.

Once you think about it, it becomes true.

Zhang Fang is here.

He was Sima Yong's most brutal vanguard general. He burned, killed and looted all the way to Luoyang. When standing at the city gate, after seeing Qin Chaoge, he straightened his armor and shouted: "Open the city gate! I want to go in!"

Qin Chaoge, who was standing on the city gate tower, had already received the news, and saw Zhang Fang approaching from a distance with the arrogant smoke and smoke of a hundred thousand troops. He asked someone to quickly report to Mao Hongbin to inform him of the situation.

Mao Hongbin and several other ministers have been staying in the palace these days, actually waiting for this day.

They had a quick discussion and decided that even if they didn't open the door, Zhang Fang would just barge in with his personality. It would be better to open the door proactively to reduce casualties.

Qin Chaoge got the order and had the city gate opened.

He was also standing in armor at the gate of the city, looking sideways as Zhang Fang swaggered into Luoyang with ten thousand people, while the others were camped outside the city, and there was a smoky atmosphere.

Zhang Fang has a square face, a dark complexion, a ferocious look, and is known for being a rough-and-tumble man. He is tall and strong, and he grew up fighting among gangsters. A fight would cost one's life, and no one dared to provoke him. Every house in Luoyang City is closed, and no one dares to go out.

When Zhang Fang walked in with his people, he felt very boring. He ordered his soldiers to hit the ground with spears, swords and other objects, or drag heavy weapons made of iron and bronze to make a harsh sound.

"I, the general, want to tell everyone in the world that I, Zhang Fang, was the first one to break into the Luoyang Palace!"

He was really arrogant. He entered the palace with a stiff neck and met Sima Zhong.

Sima Zhong looked confused and had no intention of seeing him. If he hadn't been dragged to the throne by these ministers who stayed behind, he might still be sleeping in the palace.

After Zhang Fang saw Sima Zhong, he just made a fist-cup salute, then stood there with a golden sword and said: "Your Majesty, the prince asked me to bring you a message, pack up and go to Chang'an."

"What?" These left-behind ministers all exclaimed.

Sima Zhong felt that he had not heard clearly, so he asked again: "What did you say? I don't understand!"

"I mean, follow me to Chang'an." Zhang Fang pulled his neck and shouted again.

"Presumptuous!" Zhang Du couldn't help shouting.

"Oh, I spoke a little too loudly. Don't be surprised. I'm just a rough person. I grew up in the market, so I speak loudly. There's nothing I can do about it." Zhang Fang looked nonchalant and said There is no intention of respecting Sima Zhong at all.

Sima Zhong looked at him and suddenly asked: "How come I remember that you were a beggar in Luoyang before? How come you are now a general? You are very powerful."

Zhang Fang did not hear the meaning of these words, and was actually quite happy. He said with a smile: "The emperor has a pretty good memory. Those things were only twenty years ago. Now, I, this is not the case." I’m almost thirty, so I won’t mention it anymore!”

"Oh." Sima Zhong responded and ignored him.

But at this moment, Sima Ying and her people had hurried over. He glared at Zhang Fang and asked Zhang Fang: "What are you doing here? Is this a place where you can come?"

Zhang Fang didn't care at all, curled his lips and asked: "Your Majesty, you are already in Hanzhang Palace, why can't I come? Besides, our Prince has said that he will invite the Emperor to live in Chang'an City, because Luoyang Palace is occupied Someone else has taken it!"

"What nonsense is this!" Sima Ying was angry.

"What? Am I wrong?" Zhang Fang also turned dark.

The two parties were very unhappy, but Sima Zhong looked quite happy, and even laughed "hehehe" and asked: "It's good that you are all here. Anyway, Luoyang has been extremely depressed recently, and it is not fun at all." But, have you brought anything to eat? Do you have any roasted leg of lamb? I haven’t eaten anything in the past few days.”

Even Zhang Du, who was standing aside, felt that Sima Zhong was so stupid, and couldn't help but whisper: "Your Majesty, don't say any more."

Sima Zhong was still a little unhappy, and continued to smile "hehehe" and said: "What's wrong? Aren't these all members of my own family? Isn't it okay to talk? Is the sixteenth brother, or the emperor's brother? What if I If you die, this world belongs to Brother Ying!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Fang's eyebrows were already raised.

But Sima Ying looked at Sima Zhong, with a look of surprise in her eyes: Is he really stupid? These words are obviously provocative. Before, Sima Ying and Sima Yong formed an alliance to protect Sima Zhong's Jin regime, but now they were already at war with each other, and Sima Ying was at a disadvantage. Then what Sima Zhong means by what he is saying now, isn't it just to ignite the fire?
