Liu Yu's military coup was successful, but he did not have the slightest joy, because with his position in the army, the coup d'état was enough to succeed dozens of times, and he would never have to wait until today. And after ousting Su Yan from the throne, a new question arose, who to put on the throne, for Liu Yu, this choice was the most helpless.

Coupled with Cao Yi's question, Liu Yu was worried for a while, and when he returned to the Imperial Forest Military Office, Su Yan was still kneeling on the ground and sobbing nonstop, Liu Yu was soft-hearted for a while and moved the idea of establishing Su Yan again, but this idea was only vetoed by him for a moment.

"Your Yimei people have colluded with Su Zhe, the king of Chu, and now they have fled the palace and their whereabouts are unknown." Liu Yu said bluntly.

Su Yan raised his head in surprise when he heard this, looked at Liu Yu with an unbelievable gaze and said, "She...... Why is she doing this? ”

"Push you and my master to a dead end, and her goal will be achieved. Pity you and still treat her as a treasure, in fact, she is also the jackal that your Seventh Emperor Brother planted beside you. Liu Yu sighed and said, and then said a little weakly, "When you get to the domain, live a good life, don't lose your family property and become a beggar on the street." ”

Su Yan immediately kowtowed a few more times and said, "Master Xie doesn't kill me, I will be a good man......"

After speaking, Su Yan barely got up from the ground, but was startled by Qi Fang's opening of the door, and only calmed down when he saw that the person who came did not want to kill him. And Liu Yu and Qi Fang have already gone out, the door has been closed again, and Su Yan will continue to stay in the Imperial Forest Military Office to be detained, and he will still be a prisoner before Liu Yu's official release order.

Qi Fang hurriedly came in to report to Liu Yu the news he had just received from outside the palace: "There are a large number of chaotic people in the city making trouble, taking advantage of the war to burn, kill and loot. Most of them are idle people in society. Now they are basically all brought to justice. Do you need to make an example? ”

Liu Yu began to hear the news, and instinctively thought that the group of Protestants in the city led by the disaster victims were making trouble, but after asking if it was not, his worries were not so great, and now Liu Yue's defense of the Protestants was greater than the strength of the gangsters fishing in the troubled waters of Chang'an City, and in such a critical period of smooth transition, Liu Yue did not want to make trouble.

"The troublemakers will be temporarily detained and dealt with after the trial. The murderer pays for his life. Others can be jailed or issued ......"

Liu Yu explained the matter, convened some of his generals to hold the first meeting after the successful coup, and the venue of the meeting was in the former palace of Yaqian Palace, this time all the generals under Liu Yu, there were no ministers.

At the beginning of the meeting, the first proposal made by Hua Ji'an was to let Liu Yu "obey the heavens" and ascend the throne as emperor.

In front of Liu Yu, he was basically a general who fought with him in the south and the north, and he had experienced countless battles of all sizes, so it was okay for him to be the emperor. At least in the New Army and the Pingnan Army, he has a very high status, but after all, there are still border army generals headed by He Mao. After hearing Hua Ji'an's proposal, many border army generals were silent and had strange expressions on their faces, which made Liu Yu cautious.

If Liu Yu were to establish himself as emperor, it would inevitably lead to another small coup d'état, which he did not want to see.

A smooth transition is what Liu Yu wants at the moment. In fact, the best way was to follow the established slogan "Qingjun side", continue to support Su Yan as the emperor, and Liu Yu took over the regents and became a powerful minister in an all-round way, but he is now on an opposite path with Su Yan, Liu Yue has lost confidence in Su Yan, and the result of supporting Su Yan again is likely to be a coup like today's in a few years.

Liu Yue glanced at Hua Ji'an again, although Hua Ji'an was planning for him, Liu Yu didn't dare to completely rest assured of Hua Ji'an. As a result of Liu Yue's repeated suppression of Hua Ji'an's position in the army, there was a rift between him and Hua Ji'an, and Liu Yu was also afraid that a second general would appear under his command and rebel against him.

Originally, this was the first and only thing to be agreed upon, but Liu Yu was silent at this time. Most of the successful coups in history carry the revenge of dominating the country and the grand strategy of governing the world, but Liu Yu's coup seems to be involuntarily, and even after the coup is successful, he does not seem to be very emphasized, because Liu Yu did not want to be the emperor of Laoshizi at all.

became an emperor, and tiredness also exhausted him to death.

Just when Liu Yue wanted to open his mouth to say his plan, the guard at the door came to report, saying that it was the "national teacher" who asked to see him, Liu Yuxin said that this Wu You would really pick the time to come, there was some chaos in the palace before, Wu You did not take advantage of the chaos to escape from the palace, and Liu Yu also felt that Wu You was very unfamiliar. In fact, Liu Yu felt that Wu You had colluded with Liu Liniang's master, and Liu Liniang's master had collusion with Su Zhe, the king of Chu. Liu Yuxin said that he guessed wrong?

"National teacher, which national teacher?" Huo Yi yelled at the guards.

Liu Yu stopped Huo Yi from continuing, and instructed the guards: "Let the national teacher wait outside, and the general will go out to meet him." ”

Waiting for the guards to go out, Liu Yu said to the generals: "Since you want to obey the heavens, it is always inappropriate if you don't listen to the opinions of the national teacher. ”

Liu Yue said this, which is tantamount to not wanting to say about the successor candidate, which means that Liu Yu already has a comprehensive plan and cannot change it. Liu Yue is ready to cook raw rice at one time, and insists on going his own way, whether Liu Yue wants to be the emperor or who he supports as the emperor, he no longer asks the opinions of the people below.

The generals walked out of the Yaqian Hall with a bit of hesitation, saying that they were returning to the army, but now the actual control of the army is in the hands of the new army generals of the Qi Fang family, and although these generals have high official positions, they are now deprived of military power. Returning to the army means more about finding a place to wait for news. In order to prevent collusion between these generals, Liu Yu also divided them into different military posts to divide the strength of the royalists.

In the end, these generals will rebel, one is to follow Liu Yu's orders, but in fact, it is more because of Su Bi's edict to kill, and these generals are also for self-protection. Now that the emperor has been pulled off the horse, and the city of Chang'an is not peaceful, they will also be ready to move in their hearts, because at this time, no matter who is in power, they are qualified to negotiate the question of who will succeed them, and they themselves can also ascend the throne as emperor. But compared to Liu Yu's prestige, they are not enough to be a country.

In the face of power, there is no question of political belief and political principles, it depends on who has a hard fist and who dares to be worthy of the infamy of the world. And in history, the person in power below one person and above ten thousand people, either doing nothing or going further, depends on whether he has the ambition to be a hero.

At this time, Liu Yu met with Wu You in the Yaqian Palace.

Wu You's face twisted one by one, and when he saw Liu Yu glancing at Liu Yu with a very unkind look, he was not polite when he walked in, he sat down on the kang that originally belonged to the emperor, and sneered: "You little baby, do you want to be the emperor?" ”

Liu Yu was very dissatisfied with Wu You's attitude, saying that he was here to ask for a meeting, as if Liu Yu had something to ask for him. And Wu You's demeanor is clearly telling him: Xiao Lao'er is full of economy, and it is your loss not to listen.

"If you have something to say, you also know what time it is, I don't have time to listen to your ramblings." Liu Yu said impatiently.

Wu You took off his shoes, sat cross-legged on the kang, showed a very enjoyable look on his face, and said: "It's good to be an emperor, with such a warm kang, so many things happened today and the fire was not broken." Don't worry, it's useless to stare at the little old man like this...... Little Lao'er only asks you, do you want to be the emperor? ”

Liu Yu was noncommittal, and asked rhetorically: "What do you think?" ”

"Hey, you kid, you have to throw such a difficult question to the little old man. So in another way, how are you going to solve this mess? ”

Liu Yu said in an unkind tone: "I invite you to come in today, it all depends on your past friendship, and I want to hear your opinion." Wu Lao'er, if you don't have anything to say, please leave. ”

Wu You sighed and muttered to himself there for a long time, until Liu Yu was a little upset, Wu You raised his head and said, "It's okay to say it clearly, but it's just a matter of leaking the heavenly opportunity to damage some lifespan." You emperor, don't be a man. ”

"Why?"

"The number of days, the little old man's life throughout your life, all under the word '戾', if you become the emperor, you will definitely be a violent monarch, harming the people of the world, and you will not die well. Or only by withdrawing from this throne can you be stable for a lifetime, one person under ten thousand people, and one life for the rest of your life. ”

Liu Yu didn't believe Wu You's evaluation of him, but he had to be solemn, in fact, what Wu You said still had some truth.

Liu Yu's temperament lies in a suspicious, he will doubt everyone around him, suspect that they will harm himself, because he is an outsider, he looks at everything in this world with an outsider mentality, and because of this, his political sensitivity is very high, and he will be invincible. If he really became the emperor, coupled with his suspicious personality, it would inevitably happen to kill the minister and the minister's rebellion in the future, so that he would not be stable for the rest of his life.

Another reason why Liu Yu attaches great importance to Wu You's words is that Wu You's words became a prophecy two years ago: live under one person and not be willing to be under others. Under the circumstances at that time, Wu You's ability to understand all this was really a miracle that Liu Yu had to admire the prophecy of this old god.

"What do you think, what should I do?"

"Then who will stand up, you see that now above the government and the opposition, there are not a few princes and grandchildren, even if it is abolished and re-established, anyway, the power is in whose hands everyone knows. But it's hard for you kid to live a peaceful life. ”

Liu Yu scolded: "Phew, no one can stop me if I want to live a stable life." If you don't believe it, we'll see. ”

Wu You showed a knowing look on his face, with his cleverness, it was not difficult to guess what Liu Yu was thinking, in fact, many things were already natural.

"Then the little old man wishes you a happy life, let's see you outside the palace......"

See you outside the palace, that is to say, Liu Yu will not live in the palace for a long time, and Liu Yu is not the emperor. Liu Yu smiled faintly, in fact, he had already understood Wu Youlai's purpose, which was to be a lobbyist and prevent him from ascending the throne as emperor. (To be continued......)
