On the thirteenth night of the twelfth month of the second year of Qichang in the Shun Dynasty, there was a night of bloody wind and rain. From inside the palace to inside and outside Chang'an City, there was a bloody atmosphere. First, thousands of rebels died in the court, and then there was a battle for military power in Chang'an City.

The rebels led by He Mao, the orthodox leader of the Chang'an battalion in the south, and Dong Shu, the orthodox leader of the Dongshui battalion, were unable to conquer the inner city gate after entering the outer city of Chang'an City, and fell into a stalemate for a while. Liu Yu sent a new army to kill from the south gate of the inner city, killing the soldiers and horses of the southern Chang'an battalion by surprise. Then the rebels mutinied, and some generals who were close to Liu Yu killed Dong Shu in front of the battle, captured He Mao, and the rebels collapsed without a fight.

Liu Yu immediately ordered that He Mao, Dong Shu and his subordinates who participated in the planning of the rebellion should be beheaded in front of the army, so as to correct the army's prestige. For the rest of the soldiers and generals who participated in the rebellion, they will not be blamed for the past, and the two battalions of soldiers and horses must withdraw from Chang'an City before dawn and return to the camp for resettlement.

On the fourteenth day of the lunar month, the night of war and chaos in Chang'an City finally calmed down completely. But because of a bloody battle in the south of the city last night, there were many places in the city that were stained with blood, and many corpses were not moved out until dawn, and there was no martial law in the city, but ordinary people still did not dare to step out of their homes, for fear of getting into trouble.

Liu Yu stood on the platform at the south gate of the palace all night, and when it was dawn, his mood still did not calm down. This night changed his mood a lot, especially at the moment when Su Yan died.

The news of all parties in the city was summarized to Liu Yu here, and it also made Liu Yu understand the environment in Chang'an City at this time. With the withdrawal of the two battalions of soldiers and horses from Chang'an City, it means that this rebellion has completely collapsed, and most of the three Qing rebels in the city who took advantage of the chaos to kill people and set fire to them last night have also been arrested. Kill on the spot. At this time, in the city of Chang'an. All instability seems to have been eliminated. But Liu Yu couldn't make it happy, firstly, because the fact of last night's battle was tragic, not only the rebels suffered serious casualties, but even Liu Yu's descendants of the new army were also damaged; is also because of Su Yan's death, and even more because of the culprit Su Zhe, whose life and death are still unknown.

Liu Yu stood on the platform and thought about it all night, but he still didn't understand why Su Yan, who had "repented" at the farewell banquet that day. will turn from the Lamb of Silence to an explosion. Could it be that Su Zhe used some demagogic methods? Liu Yu recalled Su Yan's complaint before he died last night, at that time, Su Yan firmly believed that Su Zhe was dead, and he was "sacrificing his life for righteousness", in order to fulfill his emperor. It makes sense, in order to ensure the foundation of the Su family, Su Zhe gave up his life and created an opportunity for Su Yan to ascend the throne as emperor. But in Liu Yu's opinion, there are still many unreasonable places, first of all, Su Zhe does not need to bury himself in the sea of fire. Moreover, last night Grandpa Wu came out to deliver the decree. But he was killed, so what the hell is going on?

Liu Yu sighed, but unfortunately the holy decree had been lost after the chaos last night, and it should have been burned. At that time, Liu Yu thought that the decrees in the Yaqian Hall at that time were not unified, and some people asked Gonggong Wu to come out to pass the decree, but someone ordered Gonggong Wu to be killed, so that the holy decree could not be publicized.

If he didn't understand, Liu Yu stopped dwelling. He also felt a little tired after a busy night, especially after the matter was resolved satisfactorily. But in this consummation, there are still many things that make him feel unpleasant.

Liu Yu walked down the platform and went straight to the direction of the Yaqian Palace. Although Su Yan had died last night, the other two important people involved in the rebellion, Su Bi and Chai Jin, were now imprisoned, waiting for Liu Yu to interrogate. Liu Yu wanted to get some useful information from the two of them.

Some of the officials who were rescued last night were still sitting scattered in front of the Yaqian Palace, and when they saw Liu Yu coming, these officials got up one after another, but they also had some fearful looks on their faces. Liu Yu still hasn't seen Li Yannian, Liu Yu has been thinking about this question since last night, where did he, the old man, go.

Han Sheng was the one with the highest status among everyone, but he was also the most silent one at this time. Su Yan died, Han Sheng also had a knot in his heart, after all, he was the "loyal minister" of the Su family, and the Son of Heaven who knew the Zen position of the Tao was dead, for Han Sheng, a hurdle in his heart could not be overcome, so he simply ignored Liu Yu.

"Xinzhujun and Linqinghou, where are they now?" Liu Yuwen greeted Liao Mingsheng with a cautious expression.

Liao Mingsheng hurriedly saluted and said, "Back to the prince, the minister has made proper arrangements to temporarily detain them in a safe place." ”

The "safe place" that Liao Mingsheng said is just the place where the Imperial Forest Army used to be in front of Dongye Gate, and the place where Liu Yu used to work when he was the president of the Imperial Forest Army. Liu Yu arrived, but saw several female guards guarding outside, Liu Yu then remembered that Liao Mingsheng, as the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, could not mobilize any troops, only these female guards might be "bluffed" by him and come over to help him complete the task of garrisoning.

Su Bi and Chai Jin now belong to "stealing life". In last night's beheading order, they should have been beheaded, but Liu Yu reluctantly left them alive until dawn in order to obtain information.

When Liu Yu arrived at the Imperial Forest Military Office, Chai Jin was the first to rush out, wanting to hold Liu Yu's legs, but was stopped by the guards behind Liu Yu. Chai Jin was also a little excited at this time, looking at Liu Yu and wow, he didn't know what he was saying. Chai Jin saw such a tragic battle last night, and he was already afraid of death in his heart, and now Liu is coming, as if he is coming to send the law field, no matter how stupid he is, he also knows how to beg for mercy.

Liu Yu waved his hand and asked the guards to drag Chai Jin aside, Liu Yu went straight into the Imperial Forest Army Office, and waved his hand again, so that the guards stood in front of the door and did not enter.

At this time, Su Bi was still covered in blood, sitting on a chair, and her expression was relieved. She has experienced ups and downs, and she has already accepted the facts in front of her in her heart, and she also knows very well that with Liu Yu's means, the chance of success is too small, and she is ready to die.

"His Royal Highness Xinzhujun, don't come unharmed."

Liu Yu entered the door and didn't look for a place to sit, but just greeted in a cold tone.

Su Bi didn't have the majesty of the heroine when she was in Fengcui Palace, she didn't sneer, she didn't even raise her head, she just sat there slightly depressed, and when she heard Liu Yu's voice, she even closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, tears also fell.

Liu Yue didn't know whether Su Bi was sad for Su Yan, who had just died, or sorry for not being able to do it. In fact, this scene has been experienced a year ago.

"Debt. I still have to pay it back after all. Su Bi said for no reason. The voice is flat. thought that Su Bi was emotionally on her deathbed.

Liu Yu succeeded in usurping the throne a year ago. Tui Qi'er ascended to the throne and also experienced the scene in front of her. It's just that this time, in order to calm the people's hearts, Liu Yu did not kill Su Bi. Liu Yu thought to himself that the "debt" mentioned by Su Bi should have been a year ago.

Su Bi suddenly raised her head and looked at Liu Yu with a somewhat resolute expression. said: "Liu Wenyan, you have already won, you have won completely." Why don't you kill this palace? Do you want to come over to see the appearance of this palace so down? Is it to show that you are an overcomer, to show off your might? Laugh at Hongu to your heart's content? ”

Liu Yu coughed, and Su Bi's words were full of resentment and hostility. Liu Yu turned his face to the side, in his opinion, it didn't matter whether Su Bi died or not, and he didn't have any pity for Su Bi. If he didn't exist without Liu Yu, maybe it was this woman who ousted Su Yan from the throne. It's a pity that a mountain is still higher than a mountain. With him Liu Yu, there is no place for her Su Bi. This is "both Yu and Liang".

Liu Yu looked at the bright sky outside and didn't speak, so he knew that Su Bi didn't have the heart to plead at this time, so it was useless to ask anything. Su Bining will not say it if he dies.

Su Bi smiled coldly and stood up suddenly, just when Liu Yu thought she was going to pounce desperately and take precautions, Su Bi suddenly ripped off her clothes, took off the bloodstained court clothes outside, and then reached out and untied the white mid sheet inside.

In the winter, Su Bi only wore these two clothes, and there were not even obscene clothes and pants in them. When Su Bi was out of wreck, Su Bi suddenly lay on her back on the desk on the side, and even pushed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the ground. This scene, Liu Yue vaguely felt familiar, and suddenly remembered that when Zhao Su seduced him, he had almost used the same trick.

But Liu Yue knew that Su Bi was not tempting him. Subi didn't need to do that at all.

"His Royal Highness Xinzhujun, what are you doing?" Liu Yu asked with a sneer.

"Why?" Su Bi smiled, "Liu Wenyan, what kind of gentleman are you pretending to be?" Now, the loot is in front of you, why don't you enjoy it? Could it be that if you let Hongu crawl in front of you on your knees like a dog, you will pounce on Hongu like a wolf? ”

Liu Yu clenched his fists, and he felt that Su Bi was completely out of mockery.

At the beginning, the Zhao Su clan was Ren Liu Yue's desire to take, but at this time, Su Bi was closer to a state of "losing his mind and going crazy", and he would no longer consider the consequences of doing things.

Liu Yu turned his face to the side, and said in a flat tone: "Your husband is still outside and will come in at any time, aren't you afraid to let him know?" ”

"Husband? Hahaha...... Is he a man? What will he say when he knows the truth? Say, Bi'er, what are you doing? You can't do that, hahaha...... Except for a few words, what point does he still look like a man? Su Bi's smile was even more poignant, "He can't be used at all, and now it looks like he has a long ability, and it turns out that his ability is all on his stomach." If he hadn't been delayed on the road for two hours, it would not be you Liu Wenyan who was standing and mocking at this time, but this palace! ”

Liu Yu sighed, Su Bi was angry now, and he was completely blamed on Chai Jin. What is the use of two more hours and two hours less, Liu Yu can't figure it out, but Su Bi is entangled, mainly Su Bi is still entangled Chai Jin is a useless man.

Su Bi was still lying naked on the desk, and said with tears streaming down her face: "Liu Wenyan, do you know what the biggest regret of this palace is?" ”

Liu Yu said in an unkind tone: "I don't know the way, and I don't want to know the way." ”

"That is, this palace hates that he married two years early and didn't meet you...... Instead, he married the useless man. Su Bi finally said the words that had been hidden in her heart for many years, "Do you know how this palace felt when I saw you in Zangyun Fang?" At that time, Hongu thought that such a resourceful and courageous man, if it was a man from Hongu, how good would it be...... The father of this palace asked me to go to the palace and asked me what I thought of you, and at that time this palace strongly recommended you, saying that you were a person who could be of great use. At that time, Hongu didn't even know what kind of person you were......"

Liu Yu listened to these words, and felt awkward in his heart, Su Bi is such a strong woman, and there are times when she is so weak?

“…… Liu Wenyan, I don't know if you still remember, in Zangyunfang, you touched the hand of the palace. Bengong was annoyed, but he also knew that you were unintentional, and Bengong wanted to punish you at that time, but in the end Bengong held back. Hongu thought at the time, if you could be more shameless. Kill Chai Jin. I took possession of the main palace. Let Hongu make you a cow and a horse...... How good is that? Hongu doesn't want to be a feared woman, just wants to be a little woman, and there is a man who shelters me from the wind and rain. I just need to stay at home, teach my husband and children, and wait for my husband to come back every day. ”

Liu Yu frowned and glanced at Su Bi, thinking that this woman was crazy now.

Would she look at a man who had never expressed anything to her, kill his husband, and then be that man's outhouse? Although Chai Jin is indeed useless. But it's not as useless as Wu Dalang. Liu Yu also thought that maybe this was the result of Su Bi's gradual psychological distortion after she found out about Chai Jin's betrayal, and Su Bi herself was not so "shameless".

"This palace doesn't hate that he has women outside, if he has the ability, like you Liu Wenyan, I don't care how many women he has." Su Bi said with a sad expression, "If yes, you are my man." Now sitting on the throne, will it be someone else? Hmph......" a wry smile. "I envy the fourteenth imperial sister, and even more envy the younger sister of the Xu family, to have a man like you. It's a pity ......"

"Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, farewell!" Liu Yu didn't want to talk nonsense with Su Bi anymore, he felt that listening to such a crazy woman, it was better to find someone to torture the useless Chai Jin, maybe there would be some results.

Liu Yu walked to the door, and after walking a few steps, Su Bi sat up with her body propped up, and asked, "What's wrong?" Liu Wenyan, this palace is not as good as the woman in your family? Isn't that what you've been thinking for a long time? As a victor, humiliate Hongu to your heart's content...... Or do you not dare to face this palace at all, because you also know that you can't resist the charm of this palace? ”

Lose your marbles! Must be crazy!

Liu Yu warned himself not to talk to a crazy woman as he walked out of the Imperial Forest Military Office. It wasn't until he took a few breaths that he remembered what he was here for today. He also had to sigh that Su Bi was indeed a capable woman, and she could grasp his "weakness", that is, compassion and softness towards women. Even if she was so down, Su Bi, who was only waiting for the award, could make Liu Yu uneasy and almost fell in touch with her.

Liu Yu looked back at the Imperial Forest Army's office, and then looked at Chai Jin, who was sitting on the ground and crying incontinence. But I also have some understanding in my heart that Su Bi, such a strong woman, if there is a man by her side to help, it is indeed not difficult for her to ascend to the throne. What three princes and four princes, what Su Zhe Su Ren Su Yan, on governing the country, on forbearance, on means, none of them can match Su Bi, but because she is a daughter, she has lost too much.

Liu Yu was thinking about it, and the guards came to report, saying that Liu Liniang was outside the palace to see her. Liu Yu calmed down a little, and thought in his heart that it should be the matter he arranged for Liu Liniang to do yesterday.

"Take good care of the ...... of Mr. and Mrs. Shintake"

Liu Yu gave Liao Mingsheng an order, and not long after he walked out of the city, Liao Mingsheng hurriedly ran over and reported with an embarrassed face: "Lord Wang...... This one...... The ministers have something to do. ”

Liu Yu frowned and looked at Liao Mingsheng: "Why are you so alarmed?" ”

"Shintake-kun...... In the room, he committed suicide in fear of sin and slit his throat......"

Liu Yu closed his eyes and looked up at the sky again. Suddenly smiled helplessly, although this was also Su Bi's most fateful fate, but for some reason, after hearing Su Bi's previous parting words similar to "confession", his mood was also a little heavier.

All Su Bi lacks is a man who can help him.

"Maybe in her heart, she really wants to be a little woman." Liu Yu muttered to himself.

"If you're dead, you're dead." Liu Yu instructed Liao Mingsheng, "Burial well, burial in the imperial mausoleum......"

Liu Yue wanted to say a few more words, but at this time, he couldn't say it.

"Lord Wang, that Linqing Marquis ......"

Liu Yu thought about it, it was useless to embarrass Chai Jin, who was completely clumsy, at this time. Chai Jin was stupid and was used, and only Su Bi and Su Yan were using him, and now that the two siblings were dead, he didn't have the mood to care anymore.

"Hold it in custody first, and in a few days, let it go back." After Liu Yu finished speaking, he didn't stop and went out of the palace gate directly.

Liu Yu was in a very bad mood, Su Yan was called a master and apprentice with him, he was actually a father and son, Liu Yu felt that he had done his duty as a master and taught Su Yan well, if there was no him Liu Yu, maybe Su Yan would become the king of Shengming in the future. But because of the power struggle, Su Yan died, and in the final analysis, it was also his Liu Yu's sin. And Su Bi, Liu Yu has always treated her as a friend-like figure, whether it was a political alliance or a hidden hook in front of the political alliance, that was an old friend, and this old friend was still a strong woman who secretly had feelings for him.

Liu Yu met with Liu Liniang, and Liu Liniang gave a detailed report on what she had done in the past day. Mainly in the Three Puritans, pretending to be Su Zhe's appearance and luring Su Zhe's real body out.

When Liu Liniang reported, Liu Yu was in a trance, on the one hand, Liu Yue was because of nostalgia, and then Liu Yue felt tired, on the other hand, he was physically tired, and because of his psychological fatigue. For the sake of power, he has lost too much, and he is not in the mood to fight anymore.

"Twelve, why don't you seem to be in the mood to listen?" Liu Liniang discovered Liu Yu's abnormality, after all, she is Liu Yu's woman, she is extremely considerate to Liu Yu, and she can also say some things that ordinary subordinates can't say, "Now, we can find the leader immediately and kill him!" ”

Liu Liniang felt that Liu Yu should be energetic now. But Liu Yu is like a frosted eggplant.

"I know it." Liu Yu sighed and said, "Li Niang, after completing this matter, I plan to completely let go of the affairs of the government and be an idle person with peace of mind." When the time comes, the family will live happily and no longer have so many troubles. ”

Liu Liniang glanced at him, like a resentful woman, and said with a little anger: "The family you are talking about is the woman in your palace, right?" (To be continued......)
