The change of the throne was stable and stable, making the power vacuum period almost non-existent, and the court was stable during the transition period.

Su Yan and Sun Xiaoyu, as well as many of Su Yanxinna's concubines, were placed in Su Yan's old mansion, the Nine Emperors' Mansion, and there were soldiers guarding outside the mansion, nominally for protection, but in fact for guarding. Su Yan could only sigh and hide at home, hoping to get the news of his entry as soon as possible, he was a prisoner in Chang'an City.

Su Bi was taken back to the house by Chai Jin, and was picked up by Chai Jin along with the pregnant Ling Su, Su Bi has been seriously ill since she returned to the house, and the palace sent Qu Ning to diagnose it, Su Bi's physical illness is secondary, and the collapse of her career and the upheaval of her family have caused her to suffer a huge psychological blow, making her temporarily speechless, and she doesn't care who talks to her. Later, even Chai Jin couldn't see her.

Chang'an City has always been in a state of martial law, the city belongs to the military management period, and there are soldiers in the streets and alleys. In order to facilitate the life of the people in Chang'an City, the imperial court opened the market in some specific places in the city at dusk every day, about an hour, and the dusk is also the most lively in Chang'an City these days. Comparatively speaking, the ordinary people living outside Chang'an City do not have such distress, and the families of poor peasants in this era still have sufficient reserves for winter, and only the residents of Chang'an City who have been too peaceful for a long time will be unprepared, thinking that they can do everything with money.

The imperial court has announced that the martial law period in Chang'an City will last until the thirteenth day of the first month, and it will not delay the festive activities of the Shangyuan Festival in Chang'an City. And the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor is prepared on the twentieth day of the first month, which is only an estimated time. It also depends on the specific preparations for the ceremony.

Compared to the last time Su Yan ascended the throne. This time, the new emperor ascended the throne and appeared to be very low-key. Even the people of Chang'an City did not know that the Son of Heaven had been changed and that the new Son of Heaven was still an empress, and in order to hold the enthronement ceremony smoothly, the imperial court also held several meetings of the Ministry of Rites in a row to discuss the specific arrangements for the enthronement ceremony, including etiquette and the list of guests. According to Liu Yu's idea, this time Qi'er ascended the throne, not only should hundreds of officials be present, but also officials from various counties and counties in China, as well as foreign protocols, and envoys from Turkic and Western Regions and Tubo countries happened to be stranded in Chang'an City. The invitation to them this time was also to express the attitude of the new emperor's diplomacy.

In addition, there are some people Liu Yu who don't want to invite and want to invite, that is, the people of the Liu family. Liu Zhao, the former Marquis of Dingguo, has returned to his hometown in Hanzhong for a year, during which Liu Yu has basically cut off contact with his family, and Qi'er has ascended the throne, if the old man is not present, it will not be reasonable. Liu Yu just didn't know if Lu Dao would write a letter to invite Liu Zhao to come, the prejudice between their father and son was quite deep, and they all looked at each other unpleasantly, Liu Zhao was surprised that Liu Yu could have a good face for him because Liu Yu was robbed of Juelu. In order not to be rude in front of people as much as possible. Liu Yu asked Qi'er to draft an edict in the name of the new emperor to restore the title of Marquis of Dingguo. and invited Liu Zhao and Liu Yu's eldest brother Liu He to come to Chang'an City to watch the ceremony.

Liu Yu's worries are not unreasonable.

At this time, in the old house of the Liu family in the south of Hanzhong, Liu Zhao's anger towards Liu Yu was accumulating day by day.

Since the Dingguo Marquis Mansion migrated back to Nanzheng's hometown, Liu Yue did not return to his hometown to visit, according to Liu Zhao, Liu Yu did not come back during the New Year's Festival, even his second brother Liu Ting's funeral did not attend, this is already a big rebellion. In ancient times, when the concept of clan was very strong, clan affairs exceeded that of individuals, and major events such as weddings and funerals were carried to watch the ceremony even if they could not get up while lying on the sickbed, which was the manifestation of the same surname and family.

Originally, Liu Zhao returned to the field, and the family thought that he could finally stay away from the court to cultivate his mind, but who knew that Liu Zhao had been back for less than a year, and his temper was even greater, and he had been busy all his life. Because of this, the family is even more jealous of this old man, the sons are already disgraced when they see him, and the grandchildren are even more reluctant to take a step closer except to ask An Neng to avoid. Liu Zhao had nothing to do, so he danced with a knife and a gun alone, and if he had no opponent, he was angry with the stake, and he didn't stop until the stake was cut or poked over.

As soon as the women in the family were summed up, they were ready to discuss giving Liu Zhaona two more concubines to let him settle down, but as soon as this proposal came out, Liu Zhao said: "No!" "The man went out again to practice his guns. Everyone knows that he is actually angry with Liu Yu, but the family really can't help it, now Liu Yu is no longer the bastard boy who eats idle food at home, and they can't see each other if they want to.

Since Liu Zhao returned to Nanzheng's hometown, some elders of the Liu family have been visiting, and they must have asked Liu Yu, the Marquis of Wuyi, after saying a few words, which made Liu Zhao even more angry. In Liu Zhao's opinion, Liu Yu's marquis robbed him, and his son stepped on Lao Tzu's shoulders to take the throne, and now his son is ungrateful, how can he make him feel good?

Seeing the end of the year, the women in the family heard that Liu Yu had returned from the Turkic expedition, and they all hoped that Liu Yu would bring his family back to see it during the New Year, so that the old man could calm his anger.

This matter was arranged by Liu Yu's eldest brother Liu He, and the women in the family thought that Liu He could talk to Liu Yu, and Liu Yu respected Liu He, and the two communicated easily. So Liu He wrote a letter and sent someone to Chang'an City to see Liu Yu, and when the messenger came back, he realized that there was a little chaos in Chang'an City, and Liu Yu's family was "missing".

Liu Yu disappeared, no one dared to mention this news to Liu Zhao, the family understood that although Liu Zhao was angry with Liu Yu now, after all, the Liu family was now counting on Liu Yu, the only seedling, to maintain the status of the Liu family in the court. If Liu Yu also falls, then the officials of the county and county who celebrate the New Year's festival will not come to give gifts and greetings, and even the elders in the clan will throw their faces to Liu Zhao, how can Liu Zhao still have a face to see at that time? Although the family hid it from Liu Zhao in every possible way, Liu Zhao still saw some clues. First of all, an old subordinate of Liu Zhao came to visit him and mentioned this matter, and he didn't know what Liu Zhao didn't know about the situation, and then he specially sent someone to inquire only to find out that Liu Yu seemed to have fallen out with the emperor, and the emperor wanted to send someone to arrest Liu Yu.

When Liu Zhao mentioned this matter at the family meeting, he saw Liu He's concealed expression and realized that the family had known about it for a long time, but he was not furious, but sighed softly, as if he had expected this result a long time ago, let him look at this matter from an outsider's perspective, and he also understood what rabbit dead dog cooking was.

In this New Year, there are some gloomy clouds in the house. There was no official who came to visit, and even the gift-givers were transferred to other homes, Liu Zhao was not uncommon for others to visit and compliment him, he just felt unwilling, the father and son made great contributions to the Great Shun Dynasty, and he was deprived of Juelu for a while, he began to be worthless for Liu Yue, fortunately, what is the use of assisting an emperor, in the end it is not a bleak ending?

Liu Zhao just sighed behind his back and didn't show it, and the rest of the family was a little restless. Everyone is afraid that the emperor will continue to pursue Liu Yu's "rebellion" and implicate the entire family, and the result of them continuing to send people to investigate is that the confrontation between the court and the military has not ended until the New Year, which is a rhythm that will burn a fire at any time.

The family got together and summed it up, some people thought that the old man should cut off the father-son relationship with Liu Yu, so that he could be completely isolated from the matter, and some people thought that the family should move south to Bashu, and it would be troublesome for the Emperor Shangao to be held accountable by the imperial court. Liu Zhao was very calm, and dissolved the family meeting and let everyone go back to their respective rooms, and then he went to the courtyard to practice knives.

By the ninth day of the first lunar month, the wind and clouds suddenly changed on this day, and it was windy all day. In the afternoon of that day, the county guard of Hanzhong County and the officials of Nanzheng suddenly came to visit Liu Zhao, and Liu Zhao greeted him, and when he saw the visiting team of these dozens of officials, he felt that something unusual might have happened, and even when he returned to his hometown, there was no such a big battle.

There was a sound of blowing and beating outside Liu's house, and there was a jubilant appearance, while there was a lot of discussion in Liu's house, all speculating about what happened. Liu Zhao and Liu He stepped forward, and Hanzhong County Shoushang Shaoming stepped forward and saluted and congratulated him: "...... Congratulations to the Marquis of Dingguo, the Marquis of the First Class ......"

Shang Shaoming said a lot of nonsense, and Liu Zhao heard this sentence clearly. After all, Liu Zhao is a military general, and he doesn't like to dance and ink, and he doesn't like those literary compliments, and this Shang Shaoming is obviously from a bookbag, and he likes to show off his knowledge everywhere.

"Huh?"

Liu Zhao was quite puzzled when he heard that he was promoted to a first-class marquis, his original marquis of Dingguo was only a second-class marquis, although he had also been a first-class marquis, but later when the emperor agreed on the meritorious general Juelu, he was demoted back. How did this come back for no reason?

Thinking about it again, wasn't his title of Marquis of Dingguo also deprived?

Liu Zhao invited the visiting officials into the main hall, and there were too many people to stand in the courtyard, but these people didn't seem to have any complaints, as if they were happy to wait. Shang Shaoming handed over the official letter of the imperial court, because Liu Gengxin used the channels of the government, so the Hanzhong county guard also learned about it for the first time. Liu Zhao took the control and opened it to take a look, and was surprised, it turned out that one of his son's concubines had succeeded to the throne as the emperor, that is, her daughter-in-law wanted to be the empress?

Liu Zhao was unstable and almost fainted with the official letter, Liu He on the side hurriedly supported his father, and the family members waiting in the side hall thought that Liu Zhao was stimulated by something, and he was indeed stimulated. After Liu Zhao filtered the information, he realized that his son's concubine, the fourteenth princess, was just a girl, and the fourteenth princess ascended the throne, so needless to say, Liu Yu single-handedly promoted it, and Liu Yu usurped the country!

"Father, you ...... It's all right, is it? Liu He asked while holding Liu Zhao.

Liu Zhao stabilized his body, feeling that it was time for him to pick something on his shoulder, and pointed to the direction of Chang'an City in the north and said, "It's okay, let's go and arrange the carriage...... Horses, for the sake of the father, set off for Chang'an City! (To be continued......)
