During the whole day on the third day of the fourth month, Liu Yu seemed to have nothing to do in the palace, and after reading the book for a while, he felt bored, and he slept from noon to sunset.

"I really don't know how to seize opportunities." Liu Yu woke up and stretched out, Qi'er and the Han sisters in the courtyard were still flying kites accompanied by the palace maids, and there were few opportunities to play, and even the palace maids were full of interest. Lu Chu'er, who was standing on the side, raised her head and looked straight with her eyes, but unfortunately the order to protect the emperor was on her side, and she was the one who could only watch and not play.

Liu Yu got up and met Qu Zhu, after the investigation in the past two days, Qu Zhu has collected the information of the entire officialdom in Huaibei Province and submitted it to Liu Yu for review, Liu Yu is most concerned about the group of people who are in contact with Ling Hui's old father-in-law, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

"There's no movement over there in the Taishou Mansion?" Liu Yu asked while looking at the information.

"Taishou Mansion is very quiet today, Ling Daoqi went out to the Women's Academy at noon, and then returned to Taishou Mansion and never appeared again."

Liu Yu nodded and said, "Pay attention to the situation of the Taishou Mansion and the garrison camp, if anything is revealed, it will be a situation from which it will never recover......"

"Yes." Qu Zhu respectfully accepted the order and retreated to make arrangements.

Liu Yu felt that he had not gained much after reading the information, put down the scroll in his hand, and went to fly a kite with Qi'er and the Han sisters.

At night, the entire Dongning Mansion was quiet. Liu Yu didn't go out for a night visit, in fact, he was waiting for a fire that was about to burn, and now the firewood and sparks were ready. But the fire was not seen for a long time.

"Tomorrow is the beginning of the journey. The husband seems to have something in Dongning Mansion that he can't let go. Xu Xuanzhu noticed Liu Yu's strange situation. Although Liu Yu looked calm today, there was an impulse to try it in his heart, or a sense of excitement before the big war was imminent. Xu Xuanzhu and Liu Yu have been married for two years, and their psychological grasp of Liu Yu is still relatively in place.

"Fortunately, the person next to the pillow is my own person, madam, I can't hide anything from you for my husband." Liu Yu smiled, "Something will indeed happen today." ”

Xu Xuanzhu looked at Liu Yu and said, "Kefujun seems to be waiting. ”

"It doesn't matter if you can't wait, I've already set a time limit. By tonight, even if they don't do it, I'll do it. Liu Yu paused and added, "It's not negotiable." ”

Xu Xuanzhu looked at Qi'er and the Han sisters who were whispering together, after getting along with each other day and night along the way, coupled with flying kites together today, the estrangement between Qi'er and the Han sisters has basically been eliminated, and they have also learned to accept each other.

"Do you want them to avoid it?" Xu Xuanzhu asked.

Liu Yue knew that she was worried about the safety of Qi'er and the Han sisters, and Liu Yu said with a confident smile on his face: "Madam, don't worry, everything is arranged today." There will be no surprises. ”

From the time the lights were on to the last watch, Liu Yu was waiting for news from outside. It's a pity that the entire Dongning Mansion is quiet. Qu Zhu went out to inquire again, and came back to say: "Everything is as usual in the Taishou Mansion, and the garrison camp has not been handed over as usual, or there may be movement. ”

Liu Yu said: "It was I who asked Niu Lu to prepare for action tonight, and the reaction of the garrison camp was also a normal reaction. Are the gates closed? ”

"It's closed before nightfall, do you want to say hello to the city defense camp?"

The city defense battalion and the garrison battalion are the two major garrison forces of the county-level cities of the Dashun Dynasty, just like the defense division yamen and the two battalions of Chang'an City, the difference is that the defense division yamen is under the command of the military department, and the city defense battalion is the responsibility of the Taishou Mansion. These people are only responsible for the guarding and daily management of the city gates on weekdays, while the garrison battalion is a local garrison force, which has the duty of guarding the territory, and will even be requisitioned to the battlefield in wartime.

"The city defense camp is Ling Daoqi's territory, wouldn't it be clear to inform them that they want to show their stuffing? Revisit. ”

Liu Yu waited until the second day, but still did not see any abnormalities in the Taishou Mansion and the garrison camp of Dongning Mansion, Liu Yuxin said that it may be that his fire is not burning enough, and it is time to add some oil to the firewood.

Liu Yu was also a little impatient, and after a while, he ordered Qu Zhu: "You have all the people and horses to trap the Taishou Mansion!" with five hundred ...... A little more, and take eight hundred with you. ”

Qu Zhu knew that Liu Yu brought into the city and guarded inside and outside the palace There were only 1,000 guards in total, and if 800 were removed at a time, the guards in the palace would be loose to a large extent.

"The guards of the palace?"

"You don't have to worry about it, let you go as soon as possible, remember to notify the garrison and let them cooperate on errands, but I believe that if you go out on the front foot, they will act on the back foot."

Qu Zhu took the order and left, and Liu Yu called Lu Chu'er as well. Lu Chuer didn't have to be on duty all night, she had already fallen asleep, but she was woken up by someone, and she stood in front of Liu Yu with a little grievance.

"Uncle, what's the matter?"

Liu Yu ordered: "You take a hundred female guards to seal up the women's academy in the south of the city, and no one in it can be missed." ”

"All with you?" When Lu Chuer heard that he was going to seal down the academy and arrest people, he came to his senses.

"Do you want to go out of the city and send some female soldiers to help?" Liu Yu straightened his face and glanced at Lu Chu'er.

Lu Chu'er smiled and said, "No need, uncle, just take a look." Subordinate...... Oh no, the lowly must have done things beautifully. ”

Lu Chu'er excitedly went to the female army guards to go with her to the women's academy in the south of the city to arrest people, while Liu Yu stood up and put the armor that had been prepared on himself.

Xu Xuanzhu, who still hadn't slept, came out of the inner hall and asked, "The husband has transferred most of the guards away, but do you want to lay it out?" ”

"Or madam, you are smart, this is called winning in danger." Liu Yu put on the armor and found that his body was a little fat, and he couldn't buckle the locks, "Madame came to help, maybe she has eaten too much recently and wants to lose weight." ”

Xu Xuanzhu went up to help Liu Yu buckle the lock of the armor, and then asked: "If the husband wants to take someone, even if he can do it directly, why bother so much?" ”

Liu Yu sighed: "Madame doesn't know what to do, the enemy this time is very fierce. They use the pen as a knife and the tongue as an arrow, and they can stab people to the fullest. ”

Xu Xuanzhu understood when he was on the throne that Liu Yu was talking about those Confucians who mastered the pen.

"Madam, you take care of Qi'er Yi'er and them for a while, and don't let them out no matter what happens in front of you. I will let the guards keep the palace guards airtight, and the responsibility of the defense will be entrusted to you, Madame. Liu Yu instructed while handing the sword to Xu Xuanzhu, Xu Xuanzhu saw Liu Yu's resolute appearance, nodded, and entered the inner hall with the sword.

And Liu Yu wore armor and went in the direction of the main gate of the palace. (To be continued......)
