Chapter 712: Too much trouble
Cao Fang was well prepared for her escape plan. On the day Sima Zhao announced that he would move the capital, he began to rely on his only power to operate.
Because of his special status, Sima Zhao arranged basically all his cronies around him. Most of the courtiers were also monitored by Sima Zhao, which basically blocked the possibility of Cao Fang secretly wooing the courtiers.
However, in addition to the attendants, maids and courtiers around him, the Cao family's clan can also see Cao Fang. And because the Cao family clan had so many people, Sima Zhao couldn't fully monitor them, so Cao Fang focused on his own clan.
So after Cao Fang prepared the edict on clothes and belts, he called a clan member to play chess. This time he called the son of Chu King Cao Biao, and handed a piece of clothing and belt edict to the opponent while playing chess.
However, Cao Biao's son is just a microphone. Cao Fang's real high hopes are still the family of Donghai King Cao Lin. After all, the last information from the outside was transmitted to him by Cao Mao. There is a high probability that they have contact with Xiahou Ba.
Facts have proved that Cao Fang's deployment is meaningful. Since then, the Sima family has been focusing on monitoring the King of Chu, Cao Biao, so that Cao Lin could take this opportunity to arrange an escape for Cao Fang.
Coincidentally, Sima Zhao had to urgently arrange the task of moving the capital, so he had been in a hurry these days. The whole Yecheng became a little chaotic, which also gave Cao Fang a chance to escape.
"Your Majesty, we must leave quickly! The entire Ye city is under martial law at night, and Sima Zhao's people are everywhere. If we leave too late, it may be bad."
Although Cao Lin and his cronies successfully slipped in through the loopholes in the guards' patrol to greet Cao Fang, he was still extremely nervous. If there was even the slightest oversight, their whole family would be doomed.
By this time, Cao Fang was not pretentious at all. Throw away all the things that symbolize the majesty of the royal family but affect the running speed, and escape with only the imperial seal.
The group of people climbed out of the palace wall very smoothly and entered the outer wall from the inner wall. After a smooth journey, they successfully arrived at the outer wall of the palace, where the Yunlong Gate could already be seen.
Yunlong Gate is a side entrance of the imperial palace and the outer wall gate closest to the emperor's residence. As long as you pass here, you can rush to Yecheng City, and then the sky will be high and the birds can fly.
Cao Fang's eyes were a little intense, and all he thought about was that he would be out of the sea of misery soon.
However, the facts soon gave Cao Fang a loud slap in the face. When he crossed the seemingly deserted Yunlong Gate, he saw a scene that made his blood freeze.
Hundreds of soldiers quietly surrounded the gate in a semicircle outside the palace. And at the front of the soldiers was the current Situ Sima Zhao!
"Your Majesty, why did you escape late at night? Isn't it comfortable to live in the palace in Yecheng?" Sima Zhao looked like he was having fun, and his smiling face made Cao Fang want to kill him.
"If you feel uncomfortable in the Yecheng Palace, then get in the car and drive quickly, and let's set off for Yijing. The scenery in Liaodong is still very good, which is enough to satisfy His Majesty's idea of hunting in the north."
"Sima Zhao!" Cao Fang's face was gloomy and terrifying, and there was only endless despair in his eyes.
Obviously, Cao Lin's family did not handle matters so carefully, and Sima Zhao had already known about the matter. Sima Zhao, who had learned the news in advance, had already been waiting for a long time.
From the beginning, he, Cao Fang, couldn't run away!
"Your Majesty! What are you waiting for? The emperor's chariot has been prepared for you." Sima Zhao sneered and said hypocritically.
Cao Fang's escape also gave Sima Zhao the opportunity to shock all officials. The main purpose is to force Cao Fang to get in the car and drive north to hunt at this time, so as to scare the wealthy families who are still unwilling to leave, and the matter of moving the capital will be much easier.
However, Sima Zhao still underestimated Cao Fang's determination. After taking a deep breath, this apparently honest puppet emperor did not take Sima Zhao's step, but instead drew his sword with a determined look on his face!
"Since ancient times, there has been no immortal dynasty. What's the point of living like this as a puppet? I swear by the sword of Taizu that only one of me and the Sima thief will survive tonight!"
"King of East China Sea, do you dare to fight to the death with me?"
"Follow Your Majesty to the death!" Cao Lin also knew that there was absolutely no way to survive at this time, and said with the same determination on his face.
Seeing that Cao Fang, who had always been obedient, suddenly became anxious, Sima Zhao was suddenly confused. Especially when he felt that Cao Fang's expression didn't seem to be fake, Sima Zhao suddenly became nervous.
How dare he flip the table? Don't want to die?
"Today I will follow the example of Taizu and personally kill the traitor with my sword!" Cao Fang shouted with determination, and personally raised his sword to kill Sima Zhao.
Of course, when Cao Fang shouted this sentence, a figure did flash in his mind, but it was not Cao Cao...
Seeing the always docile Cao Fang suddenly getting desperate, Sima Zhao was immediately in a panic. He quickly ordered his soldiers to surround him and capture the emperor alive, but he must not hurt the emperor.
By this time, the immaturity of Sima Zhao's wrist was clearly visible. If it were a seasoned powerful minister, he would definitely kill the situation before Cao Fang leaves the palace. After all, the risk is too great.
But Sima Zhao, on Zhong Hui's suggestion, not only sat back and watched Cao Fang walk out of the palace, but even placed the interception point outside Yunlong Gate!
Outside Yunlong Gate are basically the courtyards of various wealthy families. This time his behavior of intercepting the emperor will be clearly seen.
Therefore, according to Sima Zhao's idea, this would be enough to deter those wealthy families who were still cautious and show their Sima family's control over Ye City.
Such a naive way of thinking eventually led Sima Zhao to go too far. When Cao Fang really didn't want to live anymore and had to draw his sword to kill the traitor, he didn't know how to stop him.
The soldiers who surrounded him were scared away by Cao Fang before they even fought. Especially when they saw the emperor personally drawing his sword to fight with them, they were afraid to move forward.
That was the emperor!
"Sima Zhao! You two brothers killed the important officials of Wei and usurped my kingdom. Today I will fight you!" Cao Fang was also completely desperate. He would rather die here than escape. And with this posture, it's not certain who will die first!
"Your Majesty, have you lost your mind? What are you going to do?" Sima Zhao was a little panicked, and hurriedly looked at Zhong Hui behind him, asking for countermeasures.
"Shi Ji, you planned this. Now the emperor is crazy, what should we do?"
At this time, Zhong Hui still looked calm and waved his hand with a smile.
"Don't worry, my lord. Everything is under control. I promise to solve this matter!"
As he said this, Zhong Hui turned his head and waved his hand,
"Where is Cheng Ji?"
