The Three Puritans suddenly launched a gathering of the people, Liu Yuke said that it was expected, but he didn't expect Su Zhe behind the scenes to do this.

When the dog is in a hurry, he will jump off the wall, everyone understands this truth, but Su Zhe's jump off the wall immediately turned from behind the scenes to the bright side, and the court is no longer blind and clueless. Liu Yu is actually in his heart, and he is also looking forward to opening up as soon as possible and facing the enemy head-on, in terms of helpers, Liu Yue is confident that he has more people and horses, and he has a greater chance of winning.

However, after putting it on the surface, Liu Yu also has to face up to many problems, such as the question of which side some old ministers of the old dynasty are on, although most of them are acquaintances, but Liu Yue is afraid that these old ministers will come to eat inside and out, if there are also such generals in the army, then what will happen later will be lively.

In order to avoid mutiny in the army, Liu Yu was also cautious in this dispatch.

Although it was the South Chang'an Battalion and the Dongshui Battalion that were sent to Lu, and the generals used them among the two armies, Liu Yu made careful considerations in leading the generals, and some veterans of the old dynasty, Liu Yue was transferred from the front line and let them be responsible for the backup and reserve. Liu Yu divided the march into two batches, and let a group of cutting-edge generals lead the troops to charge, and these old ministers were naturally willing to pick up ready-made ones in the back.

On the second day of the winter month, the army was dispatched, and by the afternoon of the third day of the winter month, the army had basically besieged Lang County, although the South Chang'an Battalion and the Dongshui Battalion sent a total of no more than 10,000 people this time, and it was not even as many as the people gathered in the past, but after all, these were regular troops, and even the local garrison troops could not compete with them head-on, let alone the cultists who had no faith and even weapons and equipment.

Things are developing in a good way, Liu Yue is clear, but he always feels that something is not right. I have been worried about Su Zhe and Sanqingjiao for so long. Will it be resolved so smoothly?

By the evening of the third day of the winter month. The readiness of the front-line army also continued to spread to Liu Yu, who was in Chang'an City. Liu Yu synthesized the battle report and found that the front line was unusually calm, and the people of the church were gathered, and in large quantities, that is to say, there was no deviation in the intelligence, but the group of people who contacted the Three Puritans did not show up, that is, Su Zhe was the leader of the Three Puritans and the initiator of the gathering of the cultists. It didn't appear in the county seat of Lang County at all.

There was no leader, and the parishioners did not know what to do when they gathered, but the small county of Lang was occupied by this group of parishioners, and it was said that the city was full of people inside and outside the city, and the lives of the local people were disturbed, and after the army was sent over, the situation was even worse. Later, when the rebel army arrived in the locality, they also began to guide the parishioners to leave, and many parishioners felt remorse for the lack of worship of God's grace this time. Because the imperial court's purge of the Three Puritans had not yet ended, there were also some conflicts between these parishioners and the officers and soldiers. However, the third day of the winter month was a skirmish. There were no large-scale fights or killings, and even if there were casualties, they were accidental and did not cause major disputes.

After Liu Yu got the news that night, he felt very heavy in his heart. It seems that he has fallen into some kind of trap, but the way he does it is very special, so he can't say why for a while.

The generals of the imperial court, including the ministers who had just returned to the military department of Chang'an City, gathered overnight in the Yaqian Hall of the palace for a meeting to discuss the war. It is a little different from the previous counterinsurgency, these things happened at the doorstep, Lang County is a small county on the edge of Chang'an City in the final analysis, when such a thing happens, no one can go back to sleep with peace of mind, they are also afraid that there will be a storm in front of them, and Chang'an City is in a hurry, although the probability of this happening is very low.

There are no absolutes.

After several discussions that night, the people in the military department had no clue, and almost everyone thought that it should be that the Sanqing Sect originally felt that the gathering was very confidential and would not be detected by the imperial court, but now that the news had leaked, they had carefully sent a large army to encircle and suppress it, so those high-level leaders of the Sanqing Sect did not show up.

For Liu Yu, this is of course the most ideal explanation, although it seems to make sense, but Liu Yu understands that things are not so simple. If this is the case, then the only chance for the Three Qingjiao to succeed is gone, Su Zhe can be said to have bid farewell to the throne completely, whether he will go into exile in the future, or continue to do stealing chickens and dogs around Chang'an City, no matter what, the Three Qingjiao will gradually be abandoned by most of the people of the Shun Dynasty. If this is the case, then what has Su Zhe been running all these years? He didn't expect that one day the imperial court would find out about his conspiracy, and he Liu Yue would purge the Three Puritans, so he only thought about the trick of gathering the sectarians, so many people were gathering, and he thought that the imperial court would not get the news in advance?

There was no result that night, and Liu Yu did not leave anyone from the military department to spend the night in the palace, and when it was almost midnight, Liu Yu asked everyone to go back to the house to rest first, and then go to the yamen of the military department the next day.

dismissed the people of the military department, Liu Yu suddenly felt that he didn't even have a helper by his side, mainly because he was too arbitrary, and others didn't dare to say too much in front of him. As an outsider, he does lack trust and communication with the people around him. Liu Yu thought about it, maybe only Han Sheng could give him some advice now, because the Manchu Dynasty was the only one who had something to do with the self-contained and tyrannical Chu King Su Zhe and the Youzai Youzai. When he went to the Chu Palace, he visited Su Zhe, and Han Sheng recommended him on his behalf.

It was already late, and Liu Yu originally planned to go to Han Sheng the next day to talk about it, but Han Sheng had been in the Shangshutai Yamen, and the Shangshutai Yamen was originally in the palace. Han Sheng heard that the officials of the military department and the generals in the army in the Yaqian Hall had dispersed, so he hurriedly came over to find Liu Yu and took the initiative to tell him something.

"Brother Han, if you don't come, I'm still trying to find you." Liu Yu invited Han Sheng to sit down in the Yaqian Palace, and at the same time, he also dismissed all the female officials from the palace, so that he could communicate with Han Sheng without anyone disturbing him.

"I've heard a little about the situation in Lang County." Han Sheng sat on the chair, looked at Liu Yu and smiled slightly, "It seems that this chaos has calmed down too smoothly, even I think it's not quite reasonable." ”

Liu Yu smiled, in the end, it was Han Sheng who understood his thoughts, although Han Sheng was old and half of his body was in the ground, but if he wanted to figure out the psychology of others, because he was old and good in the officialdom for so many years, he still engaged in intelligence work, and he also had his own set.

"Brother Han, there is some friendship between you and the Seventh Prince, after all, Brother Han, tell me, what is he ...... What kind of person, or rather, if he is in his style, what is going on? ”

Han Sheng sighed helplessly and said, "Little Brother Liu, you are asking me to stand in his position and think about what is going on in this matter. Then I might as well say ......"

When Liu Yu heard this, he smiled and said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Han Sheng smiled bitterly, "You misunderstood what I meant. In fact, I want to say that in this world, there are only two people, and I can't understand it at all, and I can't see through it. One is you, and the other is him. Brother Liu, from the very beginning, I didn't expect you to be involved in the government, I always feel that you should not do much, and it is true that you are plain and bland, so forget it, who knows that you are not only involved in the government, but also extremely ...... Unexpected ......"

Liu Yue knew that Han Sheng was saying that he was ruthless, and couldn't help sighing: "Brother Han, don't belittle me, the boy, say the Seventh Prince." ”

Han Sheng also sighed and said, "If you want to talk about the Seventh Prince, he has been different from ordinary children since he was a child, and it may have something to do with the personality of her mother, Mrs. Lu, he is very autistic, and he usually doesn't talk to him. That's it, he acted a little grotesquely, when the first emperor was alive, he often told me that he, the seventh prince, was good at everything, but he was not good at communicating with people, and asked me to walk around with him a little more, at that time I felt that the first emperor had considered letting the seventh prince inherit the throne. ”

Liu Yu listened, thought about it, and nodded after the most reluctance. The old emperor not only thought about it, but also did it, if it weren't for him Liu Yu, it would be Su Zhe who is sitting on the throne now.

Liu Yu smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "It's a pity that I wasn't taken by the Seventh Prince, and when I was paying for food, the relationship was not very good, but Ming Jin, who was the king of Huai, was appreciated by him." ”

Han Sheng also smiled and said: "When the first emperor passed on the throne, it is estimated that this was also taken into account, at that time, there was Yuan Bolang, and the martial arts were headed by you and the little girl of the Xu family. At the beginning, it was rumored that you were usurping the throne, but then I thought about it unlikely, in the final analysis, it was the first emperor to see the opportunity, and I knew that you would help...... The Nine Emperors, he has achieved great things...... Alas! ”

mentioned Su Yan, Han Sheng also sighed, after all, Su Yan had only been the emperor for more than a year before he was pulled off the horse. Although it is still the second year of Qichang, there is no change of yuan, and it will be the end of the year between the words, and there is already a rumor in the court that the yuan will be changed, and even the people in the Ministry of Rites seem to be thinking about what era name is more appropriate to change every day.

Liu Yu said with a smile: "Ten years of personnel have been renewed, and now they have been changed, and in two or three years, people and things are very different." Or the Seven Princes, tell me what kind of temper he has. ”

Han Sheng raised his hand and said hatefully: "If you want to talk about his temper, then donkey temper, don't hit the south wall and don't look back." I remember that when he was fourteen or fifteen years old, the first emperor sent him out to lead troops to suppress bandits, and he had to capture the bandits alive one by one to show his plan. At that time, I didn't think he was tenacious, but he didn't change his mistakes. But he still has some brains in the end. It is...... He doesn't have much benevolence, which is very different from the Nine Emperors......"

Liu Yue secretly thought, this Han Sheng is three sentences without leaving Su Yan. However, Su Zhe and Su Yan were originally brothers, and Han Sheng inevitably compared the two.

Han Sheng added later: "Little Brother Liu, I have said so much, in fact, I just want to say that this matter is not simple, no matter what happened at the beginning, the Seventh Prince always felt that you had robbed him of the throne, and he would not let go if he recognized you as an enemy." If you talk about this, it has nothing to do with you, but you are only to blame for your high merit, and now he can only find you to settle accounts. ”

When Han Sheng said this, Liu Yu remembered that Su Yan had drunk some wine that day, and said those words in a hurry. Liu Yu could probably guess that Su Yan, who was imprisoned, saw Su Zhe, and estimated that he would reveal all his "truth" at the beginning. Among them, he Liu Yu helped usurp the throne, which he only admitted to Su Yan. (To be continued......)
