Chapter 451: There Are No Two Heavens, No Two Masters in the Country (4)
It was about to dawn, as the riots in the palace subsided, Fengcui Palace was also silent, the ministers did not make noise, and no one slept after staying up all night, everyone was waiting for news, but the news outside the palace never came.
From the Imperial Forest Army's generals Sui Yi and Li Mi invited out of the palace, there are many speculations about these civil and military generals in Fengcui Palace, some people think that the emperor has taken down Liu Yu and a group of rebel generals, Li Mi and Sui Yi were convicted and pulled out of Lu to behead together, and some people think that Liu Yu is now releasing his previous suspicions with the emperor, Liu Yu is ready to help the emperor quell the rebels, so Sui Yi and Li Mi are needed to be helpers.
The controversy over the generals did not cease until the palace was full of fires, and at that time they felt that the rebels should have entered the city. Later, they saw the rebel soldiers swarming in through the crack in the door, and it was not until the Fengcui Palace was changed by the rebel soldiers that these ministers finally understood that there was a big mess outside, and the rebel rebellion had been successful.
Soldiers entered the palace, which in history meant the end of a dynasty. The Shun Dynasty was founded for 200 years, although there were many wars in the past 200 years, and there was a war to pacify the south 60 years ago, but Chang'an City has been isolated from the scourge of war, and the imperial palace in Chang'an City has not changed the temple for 200 years. The ministers began to worry about their lives, and even more doubted whether they would be able to see the sun on the sixth day of the first lunar month.
Among these people, Han Sheng's mood was the most complicated.
From the time Sui Yi and Li Mi were summoned away by the Imperial Forest Army, he felt that this was a coup d'Γ©tat, and he had already felt that Su Yan couldn't wait to make a move against the rebels and Liu Yu, and Su Yan definitely didn't use Sui Yi and Li Mi's reasoning. With Liu Yu's prestige in the military. If he wants to rebel, there is very little resistance, and Su Yan is young and vigorous.
If Su Yan takes back power in a few years, it will inevitably come naturally. But now, the fledgling Su Yan is taking the Zongmiao Sheji to make a big gamble with the rebels.
But all this was just his speculation after all, and when it was close to dawn, after the new army changed the palace guards, Han Sheng saw Qi Fang, and Qi Fang at this time was ordered by Liu Yu to come over and invite Han Sheng to meet him.
When the ministers in Fengcui Palace saw the generals coming in, everyone turned their eyes on Qi Fang. Qi Fang didn't say much. Walking directly in front of Han Sheng, Han Sheng faced the direct gaze of his colleagues, sighed and followed Qi Fang out of the door before asking, "Is Your Majesty okay?" β
Qi Fang glanced at Han Sheng very embarrassedly and said, "Han Xiang has met General Liu. Naturally, he will tell you the same old words. β
Even the emperor's safety refused to tell him. That's what went wrong. Han Sheng sighed helplessly, feeling a sense of guilt like being a sinner for the ages.
Han Sheng followed Qi Fang to the Yaqian Palace, and at this time, the sky had already begun to brighten. Groups of new army soldiers can be seen everywhere in the palace, the biggest difference between these soldiers and ordinary royal guards is their weapons, these people do not use swords and swords, they all carry muskets on their backs, and they are not in a strict formation wherever they go, and there are not too many norms for walking, which is very different from the rules and steps of the royal forest army.
There were not a few soldiers of the new army outside the Yaqian Palace, and Han Sheng also met two familiar people, the fourth princess Su Bi and his wife. At this time, Su Bi was tied up and stood there, his head turned to the side and did not look at Chai Jin, while Chai Jin was very bored talking to Su Bi, and when he saw Han Sheng coming, Chai Jin came over to salute with a guilty face. Han Sheng didn't return the salute, because at this time, Liu Yu had already greeted him out of the Yaqian Palace.
"Brother Han, it's been a long time."
Liu Yu invited Han Sheng into the door, Han Sheng looked around, there was no one else but Liu Yue, which means that the current palace is already Liu Yu's master. And Han Sheng is now coming to see Han Sheng as a "former prime minister", and his attitude is helpless, although the two have always been friends for the New Year, and they are even in-laws. But at this point, it seems that there is no common language.
"Where is Your Majesty?" Han Sheng asked in a flat tone, did not sit down, nor did he look back at Liu Yu, but just looked at everything in the Yaqian Palace, as if he was looking for evidence of Liu Yu's murder of the emperor.
Liu Yu said: "The emperor and the queen are now in the Imperial Forest Military Office, and they are still fine. β
Han Sheng showed a very complicated expression on his face, glanced back at Liu Yu, and said, "Are you going to risk the world's disapproval and seek to become the emperor yourself?" β
Liu Yu shook his head lightly and replied, "I also came to discuss this matter with Brother Han." β
"There is nothing to discuss, as a courtier of the Shun Dynasty, the old man will never conspire with the traitor, otherwise there will be no shame to see the emperor under Jiuquan." Han Sheng raised his head, and his straight body showed his unyielding arrogance.
Liu Yu sighed, in fact, Liu Yu had already expected the situation at this time before the military coup. This is also what Liu Yu is most worried about, even his former best friend Han Sheng can't tolerate his rebellion, let alone those civil and military generals who were originally just jealous of his power. If Liu Yu insists on going his own way, the world may also fall apart, and then Su Zhe, who is secretly in secret, will raise his arms, and there will be countless responders in the world, and he will only be tired of coping with it at that time.
Liu Yu expressed his position to Han Sheng, saying, "I have absolutely no intention of becoming the emperor myself. β
When Liu Yu said this, Han Sheng's face was finally relieved, but he still looked at Liu Yu with a little helplessness. Liu Yu made a gesture of invitation and said, "Brother Han, please take a seat, and listen to me......"
Han Sheng did not sit down, at this time he represented the integrity of the officials of the Shun Dynasty, even if he hated Liu Yu's rebellious actions, but he could not help but listen to what Liu Yu said, and it was his greatest desire to protect the temple of the Shun Dynasty.
At this time, outside the Yaqian Palace, Chai Jin was still talking bitterly to get Su Bi's forgiveness, but no matter what Chai Jin said, Su Bi refused to listen. Su Bi was extremely disappointed in this husband, she could tolerate Chai Jin's inaction and inability, after all, she was a strong woman, her husband was incompetent, she could stand up, and she could stand up in the court and get the support of the minister. She originally just hated, but the more she thought about it, the more angry she felt, why did her husband finally do a big thing, that is, to destroy the foundation of their Su family and harm her.
"Bi'er, I'...... I'm just thinking about our future...... I...... I ......" Chai Jin said more and more empty-hearted, in fact, in the final analysis, he was used by Liu Yue in order to marry Ling Xu into the door. Liu Yu drew a big blueprint, and Chai Jin didn't expect that the result would be like this afterwards, and he would kill his child's mother. Although Chai Jin was a little afraid of Su Bi, it was impossible for a husband and wife to say that he had no feelings for Su Bi.
"What else?" Su Bi suddenly turned her head and yelled at Chai Jin, tears welling up on her face, "You have the ability to go and live with women outside, and you still have to pay attention to my feelings?" When I go down to the Yellow Spring, I will curse you not to die well, and let your children be cattle and horses for the rest of your life! Hmph, I'm afraid it won't be that long, Liu Wenyan will definitely not let you go after using you! β
Chai Jin lowered his head in a scolding manner, squinted at some generals who were standing not far away and watched the excitement, and felt a little ashamed in his heart. Although he was the hero of the success of this coup, he was still inevitably laughed at, because he made his wife's rebellion, and the matter of cutting off his right hand with his left hand is still quite rare in the world, and in the eyes of those generals, this kind of thing can only be done by the stupid Chai Jin. However, there are also those who think that Chai Jin is smart, because in this way, whether it is the left hand to cut off the right hand or the right hand to cut off the left hand, their family will not be destroyed, and they will seek survival in the cracks in this coup.
Those generals are not as easy as Chai Jin, in tonight's coup d'Γ©tat, although there is basically no stubborn resistance among the garrison troops in the city, but when this major right and wrong is about to change the dynasty, Liu Yu's casual order will change the fate of their family. If Liu Yu wants to be guilty, the major families in Chang'an City basically have a share, and in history, the change of dynasty is often accompanied by the liquidation of political factions.
Chai Jin didn't care about merit or sin now, he first wanted to get Su Bi's forgiveness, but now it seemed impossible. So he decided to beg Liu Yu and ask Liu Yu to pardon Su Bi so that their family could be reunited.
Chai Jin was about to rampage into the Yaqian Palace, but was stopped by the guards at the door, Liu Yu and Han Sheng also happened to come out of the Yaqian Palace, Han Sheng was sad and indignant when he entered, but when he came out, his expression was a lot more relieved, as if he had seen something and was forced to accept it.
"Hulu, what are you doing?" Liu Yu looked at the emotional Chai Jin and asked.
Chai Jin knelt on the steps and begged: "Brother Liu, you said that if I do what you say, I will marry Miss Ling and enter the door, and I have done it now...... But Bi'er, she's going to die, or I won't marry Miss Ling's family, you can let Bi'er go......"
At this time, when the military coup was successful, and the merits and crimes should be determined to be a major military matter, Chai Jin actually came to talk to Liu Yu's children about the conditions, if it was known that Chai Jin acted like this, he would not be laughed off by outsiders. Liu Yu raised his head and glanced at Su Bi not far from the bottom of the steps, at this time Su Bi was also a little curious to look at Chai Jin, and when he saw Liu Yu looking at the past, he just glanced at Liu Yu, and then turned his gaze to the side and ignored it.
"Get up and talk about it later." Liu Yu said a word to Chai Jin, and immediately greeted the general who reported the situation.
At this time, after the pacification of half a night, the situation in various parts of Chang'an City has basically stabilized, the inner city gate and the outer city gate have been taken over by the new army, and the only more troublesome is the resistance of the South Chang'an battalion, now the large-scale resistance has been quelled, but some stragglers of the South Chang'an battalion fled to all parts of the outer city, and some gangsters who fished in troubled waters burned and looted in the city.
These soldiers were cornered and were moving in the direction of the Rogues.
"Close the gates of the city, and put martial law in the city for three days." Liu Yu gave an order to the general, and turned to the guards guarding Su Bi, "Bring her in!" β
"Phew! You traitor, let me go......"
Although Su Bi hates to eat Liu Yu's meat now, she is already a prisoner at this time, and she can't choose it herself. was tied up by five flowers, even if she didn't want to, she was still put into the Yaqian Palace.
At this time, the dawn of the sixth day of the first lunar month has finally arrived. (To be continued......)
