The fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed smoothly, Chang'an City was still as stable as ever, and the big stone in Liu Yu's heart also fell.

It's just that Liu Liniang and her master Wuding Shitai have not shown up since the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Liu Yu went to ask Wu You, and Wu You said that he didn't know either. This time, Liu Liniang helped Liu Yue solve the terrorist attack of the rebellious party in Chang'an City, and Liu Yu always felt that she owed her something, especially after learning about Liu Liniang's conversation with her master from Huo Yuan.

It's as if there is a sense of sympathy between two hostile people.

The situation in Chang'an City is also stable, and people seem to have quickly forgotten about the change of the Son of Heaven. In Chang'an City under military pressure, soldiers patrolling can still be seen everywhere on the streets, even if someone wants to make trouble, they have to weigh their own catties. Some scholar families in Chang'an City are actually watching anxiously, especially those families who are closer to Su Yan, or those who have been at odds with Liu Yu, they are very afraid that Liu Yu will carry out a big reshuffle before and after the new emperor ascends the throne.

But until the eighteenth day of the first month, two days before the enthronement ceremony, there was still no movement in the palace.

The eighteenth day of the first lunar month is not the day of the court meeting, the palace is very quiet from the morning, and there is a little more warmth of early spring under the slightly smoky sun. Liu Yu and Han Sheng were discussing disaster relief fundraising in the Yaqian Palace, and Lu Chuer came over to report in a hurry, saying that there was a group of people making trouble at the gate of the palace.

"Dare to make trouble at the gate of the palace?" Liu Yu stood up and asked sharply, "Who dares to make such a mistake?" ”

"No...... I don't know what to do. Subordinates also listen to what others say......"

Liu Yu sighed, knowing that it was futile to ask Lu Chu'er again, and he was about to go out to check. The president of the Imperial Forest Army, led Qu Zhu, hurried over. Brought the latest news in front of the palace gate.

"It's a group of Taixue students. They just returned to school yesterday, and today they came to sit down and say ......"

Because the latter words were a bit rebellious, Qu Zhu didn't dare to say it clearly, Liu Yu was not a person who cared about these restraints, and said, "Say it directly." ”

Qu Zhu was embarrassed: "These Taixue students said that when today's son gets the throne is not right, he will disrupt the national program, and he wants His Majesty to return to power......"

"Cut!"

Liu Yu let out a disdainful sound from his mouth. It was also after the Spring Festival holiday, as soon as Taixue started, this group of students came out to make trouble. Originally, Liu Yu could have ignored them completely, but if he ignored them, let these students make some bad moves, and the people would have more discussions, it would inevitably destroy the current stable environment.

"Let's go and have a look."

Liu Yu said that he wanted to go to the palace gate with Qu Zhu, and Han Sheng thought about it and went with Liu Yu. In fact, he also wanted to know how the students at the gate of the Lu Dao Palace were making trouble.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Liu Yue felt that there were still many Taixue students. There were nearly 100 people, almost blocking the main entrance of the palace. The way they petitioned was the same as what Qu Zhu said, "sit and please", without excessive actions or shouting slogans, just sitting at the door and non-violent and non-cooperative. Driven away by the guards of the Imperial Guards, they remained indifferent, sitting on the cool ground like statues one by one in winter. It was only when they saw someone coming out of the palace, and it was Liu Wenyan, the leader of the "troubled country", that they regained their feelings.

"Return to power!" The cries came and went.

Because these are all powerless Taixue students, plus most of them are children of families, and their identities are noble. The Guards couldn't help them. Even as the president of the Imperial Forest Army, Qu Zhu, before Liu Yu's official authorization, he didn't dare to do anything to these officials of the second and third generations.

Liu Yu came out with Qu Zhu, and originally wanted to persuade these students with kind words, but when he saw that these students did not eat oil and salt, he was a little annoyed in his heart. He didn't expect that after launching a military coup, Chang'an City would take the lead in competing with him, and it was this group of students who had enough to eat and had nothing to do. And some of the people and families he was worried about are still being shrunken turtles.

"Blow them away!" Liu Yu ordered.

Qu Zhu was a little embarrassed: "But ......"

"If they refuse to leave, they will leave, the palace is not a place for these students to make a mistake!"

Han Sheng walked over and said, "Little Brother Liu, do this...... Doesn't seem right? ”

"How's that all right?" Liu Yu asked a little anxiously.

"These are just some unreasonable students, and there may be someone behind them, so you might as well start with the people behind them."

Han Sheng reminded Liu Yu, originally Liu Yu saw that these students were making trouble, but he just wanted to solve it in the simplest way, but after Han Sheng's reminder, Liu Yu immediately thought of the family behind these students.

"Then let these students stay here and recruit their fathers and grandparents into the palace! Oh, or their uncle ......"

Liu Yu turned around and went back in the direction of the Yaqian Palace, while Qu Zhu was ordered to summon the helmsman of the family behind these students to the palace to speak.

When Liu Yu and Han Sheng arrived in the palace, the Tai Academy teachers who had come in advance to ask for guilt were already listed at the door, and when they learned that the students had come out to make trouble, they couldn't dissuade them, so they had no other way but to come to ask for guilt. Liu Yu ignored these teachers, but went directly into the Yaqian Hall to wait.

After half an hour, the parents of the students outside arrived at the palace one after another, because the main gate was blocked, and these officials all entered the palace through the Dongye Gate. Several big families in Chang'an City felt that the atmosphere was unusual, and they had already sent people to the palace to persuade their children to go back, and some of the families who started it also felt that something was wrong and sent people to the palace gate. And all this is also under the watchful eye of the Royal Guards.

Because there were a lot of students gathered outside, and there were many family officials who were "invited" this time, they couldn't hold it in the Yaqian Palace, so these people waited in the courtyard outside the Yaqian Palace, Liu Yu came out of the door, glanced at these people, and just said "reflect on it", and went back to the inner court for lunch. The people below looked at each other one by one, neither daring to leave, nor daring to ask more, just standing like that, and they couldn't even go to carry their own children outside the palace gate back to the house.

Gradually, more and more ministers gathered in the palace, the officials of the Ministry of Rites first came, and then the officials of the Ministry of Officials, when these people outside the Yaqian Hall saw the officials of the Ministry of Officials, they all felt the seriousness of the situation in their hearts, probably because Liu Yue wanted to take advantage of this student trouble to carry out a purge of officialdom. Until the afternoon, Liu Yu still did not show up, but Han Sheng, the right minister who entered the inner court with Liu Yu, came alone, entered the Yaqian Hall first, and called the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials in.

Originally, the Yaqian Hall was the place where the Son of Heaven worked, but now the Son of Heaven is just a twenty-eight-year-old girl who does not sit in the court, and now everything is controlled by Liu Yu, and Han Sheng and Liu Yu are "embarrassed". In the seriousness of these ministers, Han Sheng is not only the one who cannot be provoked nor the one who is not easy to provoke, and he is also an accomplice who wants to subvert the state politics of the Shun Dynasty. Now Han Sheng is tantamount to openly using the emperor's office to work, which was disrespectful before, but now no one dares to mention it in a special period.

Not long after, a word came from the Yaqian Palace, and the people from the household department were summoned to come in and speak.

The parents of the students who were waiting outside began to mumble that what should be discussed was not the student trouble, but something else. What to do with those students outside the door? They had already learned from the time they entered the palace that the direction of the palace gate had been cut off by the Imperial Forest Army, and now not only could the students not enter the palace, nor could they return home, but they were not allowed to contact anyone. Could it be that Liu Yue wants to deal with these students with strict laws? Although in this society with strict etiquette, it is also in accordance with the law if Liu Yuzhen does this, but no ruler dares to attack the Confucian people, which is almost a manifestation of "civilized feudal society". It depends on whether Liu Yue dares to risk the world's disapproval.

The students at the gate of the palace went from the initial excitement to the gradual calming down, and then to the uneasiness, they already felt that the reaction of the imperial court was a little too "cold", so cold that they felt terrible, and this feeling of being hung up and down was the most uncomfortable. And their fathers were also waiting outside the Yaqian Hall with their hearts, until the simple meeting in the Yaqian Hall was over, and the people from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households left one after another, and Han Sheng, the right minister, walked out of the house with a stack of papers unhurriedly.

"Han Xiang, in the end...... What to do? There are people who are familiar with Han Sheng, so they can't help but go up and ask.

Han Sheng showed an unfathomable smile on his face, and distributed the paper in his hand to the officials outside the Yaqian Hall one by one, and they took the paper curiously, and found that the one in his hand had a few words written on it, a few numbers. Ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand, the officials didn't understand what it meant when they held the note, and Han Sheng didn't explain it until Liu Yu yawned and stretched his waist.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you see the words in your hand? He returned and prepared a certain amount of silver, and brought it to the palace. ”

Only then did the officials realize that the paper in Lu Dao's hand turned out to be related to silver.

"Marquis Wuyi, you ...... Why is this the money to be paid? Immediately, an official questioned, Liu Yu glanced at the official, it should be from the Ministry of Rites, he didn't remember which one, his face was quite familiar.

"Why?" Liu Yu sneered, "Ben Hou can't answer your question, if you want to ask, you have to ask the sons of your family!" Dare to come to the palace gate to make trouble, tired of being crooked, right? Now, I want you to pay some money to 'ransom' people back, remember, this is a little lesson for you. If you don't want to pay the silver, the son of the noble family is waiting at the gate of the palace, and if you don't eat or drink, you can hold on for a few days, and let it be fate, and this Hou is also benevolent and righteous! ”

The officials stared wide-eyed, how could this be a good trouble, and it would be pulled to the silver, and they would have to pay hundreds of taels, thousands of taels or even thousands of taels once they were handed over. The officials looked at each other and understood that the amount of silver they had to pay was different, and it was also related to their power in Chang'an City and their ancestral property.

Originally, there were a few people who wanted to cry poor, but when they saw Liu Yue's fierce face, they choked back. I had no choice but to go home obediently and prepare the silver. (To be continued......)
