Since Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, had taken control of the imperial government, he had killed dozens of Janissary generals who were close to the king of Changsha, much to the displeasure of the soldiers of the Luoyang Army. The King of the East Sea secretly contacted shangguan mi and others, and soon received a response from the Chinese army in the city and the Janissaries in Miyagi.
However, at this point, the situation is not very clear for the time being. Sima Yue, the king of the Eastern Sea, did not dare to immediately kill Shi Chao in Luoyang City, nor did he send someone with an edict to kill Shi Chao immediately. He first closed the Cloud Dragon Gate and carried the Foolish Emperor out and placed it on the city tower, hoping to proceed step by step, so as to observe the reactions of the generals and ministers.
Shi Chao was panicked. Of the 50,000 elite pawns he had brought from Yecheng, only 500 of them were outside the old deployment of the King of Chengdu, and the rest were the Yamen army that had previously been stationed outside Luoyang. These generals and soldiers were inextricably linked to the Luoyang Chinese Army and the Janissaries in the city, and many of them were relatives or had a love affair with each other.
To everyone's surprise, the foolish emperor who had been sitting on the imperial bed and eating Hayse, probably full of food, suddenly stood up slowly, looked east, walked west, and slowly paced to the gap in the horse face of the city wall, looking down with great interest.

The big fleshy face of the Foolish Emperor appeared above the battlements of the city wall, only Shi Chao still rode on his horse and did not react, and thousands of cavalry and generals behind him all rolled their saddles and dismounted for a while, creeping down in the dust to worship, and the mountain shouted "Long live".
The Idiot Emperor was particularly excited, and kept walking back and forth in several battlements. He shook his arms and smiled as he gestured to the soldiers downstairs. In his mind, the people below and the people behind him upstairs were playing some happy game with him.
Shi Chao was unable to retreat, frozen on his horse, staring blankly at the city tower.
“...... Lion, lion, lion..."
Suddenly, emperor Yi pointed to the stone giant downstairs and shouted.
Whether it was Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, and the courtiers upstairs, or Shi Chao and the soldiers on horseback downstairs, listening to emperors shouting like this, they were like falling into the clouds and fog of five miles, confused, and did not know what emperors meant by shouting "lion".
As a tribute to fanbang, there was no beast lion downstairs; there was no one above the gate tower; there was no flag or armor held by Shi Chaobing.
"General Shi, lion, lion, lion..." Emperor Fool was even more excited, he jumped on his feet, like a child, running back and forth on the city tower, dancing with his hands and feet, affectionately calling Shi Chao, who was standing on a horse downstairs.
Sima Yue, the King of the East Sea, who was standing behind the Foolish Emperor, had already killed his heart. When he saw the cavalry of the Yamen Army downstairs kneeling in unison to salute the Foolish Emperor, he secretly sent someone to adjust the Wangshan above the crossbow (referring to the simple sight on the ancient crossbow machine. During the Western Han Dynasty, there were already scaled wangshan mountains. The crossbow is a rotary linkage device that includes parts such as looking at the mountain, teeth, hanging knife, hook core and key. When Zhang Xian loaded the arrow, the hand pulled wangshan, the teeth rose, the hook core was brought up, and its lower teeth stuck the hanging knife carving, which could use the teeth to buckle the bow string, place the arrow in the arrow path on the crossbow arm, so that the arrow tail was against the string between the two teeth, and then, aiming at the target through the looking mountain, pulling the hanging knife backwards, the hook core broke away from the suspension knife carving, the teeth shrank, and the arrow immediately shot out with the rebound of the string), ready to shoot Shi Chao. Now, seeing emperor Yi clapping his hands so affectionately on the city tower and constantly shouting "General Shi" and "Lion", in a daze, he hurriedly ordered the crossbowmen to stop aiming.

"General Shi, while the King of the East Sea did not issue an edict to kill you in the name of the emperor, you should hurry out of the city and return to Yecheng..."
Behind Shi Chao, someone whispered advice.
Shi Chao immediately felt a chill behind his spine. He hurried back and saw a bearded veteran speaking. It seems that this person has a smile in his eyes and a charitable face.
"Lang Jun, hurry up and run on horseback, a little later, the East Sea King gave an order above the city tower, and these people behind you will want to borrow your head to make a contribution... Don't be afraid, I won't harm you, once upon a time, I once followed Lord Shi Chongshi to Jingzhou and became his subordinate. In lord Shi's Golden Valley Garden, I once saw you..."
Listening to the old soldier's words, Shi Chao's heart was slightly at ease.
