The good words Liu Yu finished talking about himself, and he was scared and frightened by these Su family's royal relatives and relatives, and also gave them hope, and now he is using this strength to pull them back to Chang'an City for interrogation one by one, hoping to get the whereabouts of Su Zhe, the king of Chu.

When he came, Liu Yu was still polite, but when he went back, Liu Yu's attitude seemed a little strong. The vassal kings and feudal lords were not allowed to travel with their families, but were detained together in a large carriage, and when the chariot and his party set off again, Liu Yu withdrew his gaze and glanced at the Zhao Su clan who was lying on the back of the horse panting with a smile.

"Ma'am, it's time to go back to the city."

"Hmm." Zhao Su was physically and mentally exhausted at this time, but he only replied to Liu Yu with a slight consciousness.

But at this time, Zhao Yingxi, who was no one cared about, had already walked towards Liu Yu's horse with a little doubt. Liu Yu patted Zhao Su's face, Zhao Su opened his eyes, and when she saw her daughter coming over, she immediately sat up again, and it was too late to clean up her messy dress.

However, Liu Yu's car was not so easy to approach, and Zhao Yingxi had not yet approached before he was stopped by the guards. With the experience of being tortured for assassinating Liu Yu last time, Zhao Yingxi is also a little more afraid of Liu Yu, although she has a brutal and willful personality on weekdays, she does not dare to be presumptuous at this time.

Zhao Yingxi honestly got into the carriage specially prepared for her by Liu Yu, and then Liu Yu did not put down the Zhao Su clan and went with his daughter, and continued to share a horse with the Zhao Su clan and returned to Chang'an City.

As soon as he entered the city, Liu Yu immediately went in the direction of the palace. At the gate of the palace, the court officials who got the news of Liu Yu's return to Beijing were already waiting, and some of Liu Yu's descendants, Han Sheng, Sui Yu, Li Mi, Sui Yi and others were also listed.

Close to the Royal Palace. Liu Yu asked the Zhao Su clan to dismount. Let her go home with her daughter first. Zhao Su didn't share a carriage with Zhao Yingxi right away. first got into another carriage to clean up the traces of being tossed by Liu Yu, and then collected his makeup and went out to reunite with his daughter.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Liu Yu dismounted with a serious face, without any superfluous words, even those court officials came to greet him, Liu Yu did not pay attention to it at all.

Liu Yu walked ahead and went straight to the direction of the main hall of the palace. Because Liu Yu has many guards around him. Those court officials also felt that Liu Yu's return to Beijing was unusual, and it stands to reason that Liu Yu should be with the Son of Heaven Luan at this time, and the Son of Heaven Luan said that he returned to Chang'an on the tenth day of the first month, but the Son of Heaven still seems to have no action in Luoyang City. Liu Yu came back suddenly, something must have happened. They also knew that something strange had happened at the north gate of the city, and the north of the city was under martial law, but no one knew what had happened.

The court officials followed the procession into the Fengcui Palace, and the ministers of civil and military affairs were separated, while Liu Yu walked directly up the jade steps and stood in front of the dragon chair. Instead, he looked at the suspicious ministers below with a cold gaze.

"During the time when the Son of Heaven and the king left Chang'an City, someone actually wanted to usurp the throne! His heart can be punished! ”

Liu Yu said. Let the court officials understand one thing, someone is in trouble again. That is to say, Liu Yu secretly returned to Chang'an City, and he should have come to sweep away the rebels. The Manchu officials thought about it again, who is this anti-party? Is it that the anti-party has been punished for not taking action? Or is it that the opposition party was originally imaginary, and Liu Yu created it to fight political opponents?

The reason why the court officials think this way is because Liu Yu showed cruel repressive methods in the case of Niu Lu in Huaibei Province, a small Niu Lu is just a petty official in Dongning Province, but it involves thousands of "fellow parties" in the entire Huaibei Province officialdom, and no one believes that Liu Yu is not a political opponent. In their opinion, Liu Yu is now trying to regain power, but whenever he grasps a little thing, he will turn it into a big thing, covering all his political enemies.

Therefore, as soon as Liu Yu's words came out, all the court officials who had a holiday with "Wuyi Marquis Liu Wenyan" were in danger. At the beginning, they were also for the stability of the imperial power, constantly playing right and wrong in front of Su Yan, and following the tone of Yuan Bolang and Lan He, Liu Yu was portrayed as an image of a minister who was greedy for power. Although it turns out that they are not alarmist, Liu Yu is indeed a powerful minister, and even deposed the emperor without authorization, but now that Liu Yu is in power, then they are bringing disaster upon themselves.

After Liu Yu finished speaking, he felt that the courtiers below looked a little unnatural, and he didn't know what to say, his words had already made the courtiers think so much, and they were all thinking about how to avoid trouble first.

In fact, what Liu Yu said just now was just to characterize the behavior of Su Xiao, the king of Shu, and others.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yu slightly modified the escape of the vassal king and the vassal lord. Originally, the vassal kings and vassal lords fled, but Liu Yu determined that they were plotting to rebel according to the ideas of ordinary people, and the plot was the hunting ground in the north of the city, while the vassal king's army in Guannan was characterized as a rebel army preparing to attack Chang'an City.

Since the Su Yan Dynasty, the vassal king and the feudal lord were detained in Chang'an City, their connection with the feudal land has been repeatedly reduced, and the contacts they can mobilize are very few. The vassal kings and feudal lords were also preparing to use these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses as the basis to regain their power and territory.

After Liu Yu finished talking about the "conspiracy" of the vassal king and the vassal lord, although the officials below had doubts, no one put forward any opinions at this time in order to protect themselves. Liu Yu can also justify the name and conduct a thorough investigation of the vassal king and the vassal lord for the crime of treason.

Once they enter this procedure, their life and death are decided by Liu Yu alone, and Liu Yu can also justifiably torture them to obtain the whereabouts of Su Zhe, the king of Chu.

At the end of the brief court meeting, the officials went back to their offices on errands with anxiety, Han Sheng had something to ask for a performance, but Liu Yu did not meet for the time being on the grounds of physical exhaustion. Liu Yue wanted to strike while the iron was hot, and took advantage of the fact that the vassal king and the vassal lord had just been intimidated and had no master, and conducted a surprise interrogation.

Since it was a crime of treason, Liu Yu could change the interrogation from the Third Division to the interrogation of the Military Department, and the methods used were much harsher. After an afternoon of interrogation, both the vassal king and the vassal lord said that they were just "acting according to orders", and it was Su Xiao, the king of Shu, who directly planned the matter.

Su Xiao has been silent, and Liu Yu did not order the torture of him, but just kept him alone, just like he had imprisoned his father in the first place, and let him be left alone to cut off absolutely external contact. When the time was almost right, Liu Yu met Su Xiao, who had a grudge against him for killing his father.

At this time, Su Xiao's spirit was a little depressed, but he was not so depressed, although he did not have the courage of the old Shu King, he could also calm down when he encountered major events. In fact, since he was crowned the king of Shu by the imperial court, he already knew his future fate, and he had changed from an unrestrained feudal official to a prisoner of the ranks, and he tried his best to regain freedom and power.

For a person who has held power for a long time, the sudden loss of power will feel like life is worse than death. In Liu Yu's view, this is a very uncalm performance.

Su Xiao sat silently alone, and when he saw Liu Yu coming in, his expression didn't react. His attitude is easy to remind Liu Yu of the original King of Shu, although the father and son have different personalities, they also have something in common, troubled times or great things. It's just that Su Xiao's plan is not close, and it has been detected by others, if Su Xiao bought Li Yuanzhe to escape from Chang'an City alone, I am afraid that it will not be detected in advance.

"Your Royal Highness, now...... Is it my turn? ”

Liu Yu sat with him for a long time, and Su Xiaocai suddenly asked.

Liu Yu was puzzled at first, but after thinking about it again, Su Xiao probably had a premonition that the deadline was approaching, and the question from the dying man was raised.

Liu Yu said: "This king is here, I want to ask you something, not to send you on the road." ”

The corner of Su Xiao's mouth showed a slightly contemptuous smile, and he said coldly: "If Your Highness knows the Dao, you already know the Dao, and if Your Highness doesn't know the Dao, then even if I die, I won't reveal half a sentence." Your Highness should give it a good time, otherwise I will die by hitting the pillar and biting my tongue to commit suicide, which will only tarnish His Highness's reputation. ”

Liu Yuxin said that this Su Xiao is quite hard-mouthed.

Liu Yu got up impatiently, walked to the door, and threw down a sentence: "This king has something to do, so I won't stop the king of Shu from finding a way to kill yourself, but when the king of Japan comes again, you are not dead yet, and the king can only torture you." ”

Now that Liu Yu has the upper hand, he is not afraid of Su Xiao's play. It's not that Liu Yu has lost interest in Su Zhe's whereabouts, but he doesn't want to think too much about this matter and only increase his worries.

In the end, Su Zhe can only hide in Tibet like a mouse, if Su Zhe has a trump card in his hand, then Liu Yu has been away from Chang'an City for a long time, he has already made trouble and taken Chang'an City. Liu Yu brought Qi'er to Jiankang City, in fact, he also gave Su Zhe such an opportunity. At that time, even if Su Zhe succeeded, Liu Yu was confident that he could rely on the army under his command to snatch Chang'an City back.

Now that Su Zhe himself doesn't seize the opportunity, it means that he doesn't have good cards in his hand, at most, he is encouraging these vassal kings who have a problem with the court to come out and make trouble. But the vassal king would not help Su Zhe to take Chang'an City, but thought about the domain and wanted to return to the domain to be the overlord of the territory.

Su Zhe wants to plot the world, but the vassal king is plotting one party's territory, and his original position is different, and walking together is only driven by interests. Even if they succeeded, the vassal king would not get any superfluous benefits, because Su Zhe was also consolidating the imperial power in the final analysis, and he had a hostile relationship with the vassal king and the vassal lord.

Liu Yu didn't care about Su Xiao, he just wanted him to calm down for a night, so that he could figure out whether to hide it for a Su Zhe, make a fuss, or take it out to exchange some conditions with Liu Yu. As long as Liu Yue knows Su Zhe's whereabouts, it is okay to let Su Xiao's family, or even Su Xiao himself, go, because this Su Xiao is indeed not a big threat in Liu Yu's eyes.

Liu Yu was not suitable to tell Su Xiao what he meant, but he thought of a suitable candidate, who was the "traitor" in the camp of the vassal king, the lord of Hejian County, Zhao Su. What does Zhao Su say is also the daughter of the king of Hejian who once wore a pair of pants with the king of Shu, Liu Yue wanted her to talk to Su Xiao, and by the way, she said her quid pro quo, so that Su Xiao should be tempted to see the preferential treatment that Zhao Su received from Liu Yu.
