Chapter 256: The Beacon of the City (Part II)

King Huai is not a generation of heroes, at most a frustrated politician. But he still chose a tragic way, dying in his own dragon chair and fulfilling what he had asked for all his life.

Liu Yu personally entered the Huai Palace in Jiankang City to confirm the death of King Huai, and the person on the dragon chair was indeed the high king he had ever seen. Even the way of dying carried a sense of majesty, and his hands were on the armrests of the dragon chair, as if he was asleep.

"Brother Liu, no problem, right?" Chai Jin walked over and asked tentatively.

Chai Jin spoke in a strange tone, and those who didn't know how to do it thought that he hid King Huai, and he was afraid that someone would find out the problem if he found a fake one.

"No problem." Liu Yu sighed and said, "Put the corpse of King Huai and wait for the emperor's will." ”

Regarding King Huai, Liu Yu didn't think about how to deal with it, such a rebel minister is a vassal king, and there are usually two ways to deal with it, one is to be low-key and buried casually, or to buy people's hearts and bury King Huai in the specifications of the prince. In fact, it doesn't matter if people die. Liu Yue wanted to know some things that could not be investigated, such as where Su Zhe, the king of Chu, went, whether Qian Hui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, had come to find King Huai, etc., and now these problems have become headless public cases with the death of King Huai.

Meng Chuliang's whereabouts are unknown, King Ding fled south, Zhou Ying was captured and committed suicide, many of the big families in the city fled south, and many were waiting for the court to deal with them at home. Everything is waiting for the new emperor to deal with it.

Now that the Huai King is dead, what remains is the complete pacification of the Huai land, and then the stability of the world by subtracting other vassal kings. Liu Yu felt that he was much closer to the peaceful and carefree life he had targeted, and without the confidant of King Huai, he would be able to sleep peacefully in the future.

Liu Yu brought the news back to Yangzhou. When Su Yan learned that Liu Yu had confirmed the death of King Huai. Just a little bit of a ripple. The time of excitement has passed, and now he feels that he has survived, as if the sky is high and the birds can fly, and there is no need for Liu Yu to scare him with King Huai and Tianxia Sheji all day long.

"The master has worked hard. Sit, sit. Su Yan warmly asked Liu Yu to sit down, and when the master and apprentice sat down, Su Yan didn't know what to say.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what will happen to King Lu Daoding, King Shu and King Jing and others?" Liu Yu asked respectfully.

Only two people were present. It was the first time for Liu Yu to talk to Su Yan so politely, Su Yan was still a little unaccustomed, and was stunned: "Master, let's just say it, you can deal with it as you say." That Dingwang, caught? ”

Liu Yu shook his head slightly and said: "When King Ding heard the news of the destruction of Jiankang City, he temporarily fled south, and the minister thought that he should try his best to appease. ”

"Then appease, no problem." Su Yan said with a smile. He was a little worried, "He won't settle down first." Rebel again, right? Master, do you know that this King of Huai has almost killed me, if there is another King Huai, then ...... I'm really done. ”

"Your Majesty, pay attention to your words."

Su Yan said unhappily: "It doesn't matter what words you use, anyway, master, you hear it alone, Yuan Xiang will come in a while, Yuan Xiang will always say a lot of truth when he speaks, and he can't understand a lot of what he says, and he is tired of talking to him." ”

Liu Yuzhi said that now Yuan Bolang is running back and forth for the establishment of the era name, which should have been prepared when the new emperor ascended the throne a year ago, but unfortunately after the first Guanzhong rebellion, and then the rebellion of King Huai, there was no time for those ministers to prepare and discuss, and now the New Year has passed before the hasty preparation. Fortunately, it is not very complicated to decide on a year name.

Su Yan didn't need to go to Jiankang City to take risks, he just needed to continue to wait for the exact news in Yangzhou City. Liu Yu came out of the palace, just in time for the "air force" to return to the camp, this time sent out a total of more than 200 hot air balloons, in the end only a dozen landed back to the ground, the rest either do not know where to fly, or have already crashed in the middle of the way. Fortunately, the people who operated the hot air balloon also carried umbrella bags, and most of them were able to come back safely.

If Meng Chuliang had seen the fragments of the burned hot air balloon and learned that someone had fallen to his death, he should have thought that Liu Yu might have arrangements for a divine soldier to descend from heaven, but after all, people's thinking is limited now, and there is nothing to be done about things that can be detected in advance.

Huo Yi was organizing the members of those special forces, and when he saw Liu Yu, Huo Ying greeted him and said with anticipation: "This time I have made meritorious contributions, should I be rewarded?" ”

Liu Yuxin said that Huo Yi was really anxious, and now the entire court was working hard to pacify Huainan, and Huo Yi, who should have been in the front, returned to Yangzhou after the war to desert.

"Why don't you solve the remnants of the Huai Army in Jiankang City?" Liu Yu asked.

"Those...... There is no need for me, many people rush to do it, they seem to be more urgent than me. ”

Liu Yu was holding some things in his hand, and he was about to go back to have dinner with Xu Xuanzhu and the Han sisters, and said as he walked: "Those credits, if you don't grab them, there are always people who are more anxious than you." ”

While he was talking, Yuan Bolang had already arrived at the gate of the palace and bowed to Liu Yu from afar.

It is rare that Yuan Bolang, who originally picked his nose and eyes at Liu Yu, now has a little respect for Liu Yu, and Liu Yu can't bear it, the current Yuan Bolang is very much like a powerful villain, but it is just out of a sincere convincing to his military exploits, and he will still confront him when he turns around.

"That old man, he often runs to the palace, what the hell is he doing?" Huo Yi chased after Liu Yu and asked.

"Xiangguo, what is Zhilu Dao for?"

Huo Yi shook his head blankly, Huo Yi didn't know much about the big and small people in the court, he only knew that the one who was the king of heaven was Lao Tzu, and everyone had to listen to the words of the young emperor. If he was someone else, he would only listen to Liu Yu at most, listen to half of it, and the other half would play some tricks.

Liu Yu also wanted Qu Zhu to go to Jiankang City and send the new emperor's latest will to Huaidi, but thinking of the ready-made person with Huo Yao, he didn't want to bother too much.

"These things, hand them over to Chai Jinchai and the horses, and he should know how to handle the rest of the matter!"

In Su Yan's will, there is the disposal of King Huai's body, that is, to bury it on the spot, and the specifications are simple but not bad. In short, keep a low profile. As for King Ding, Su Yan also issued an order to appease Liu Yu in accordance with Liu Yu's intentions.

Now King Ding can be regarded as a bird with a frightened bow, and the army of King Ding has just experienced a rout, and the army that has no support is not a threat, but after all, there are still King Shu among the four major vassal kings, and the court must show a gentle posture to obtain the approval of these vassal kings. and further depriving them of their military power and privileges.

Liu Yu didn't want to go to Jiankang City to experience the vicissitudes of the once prosperous and now Xiao Suo, but that night, Liu Yu received an urgent battle report from the front line, saying that Huo was ill and led the troops to fight again.

"What the hell is going on?" Liu Yu hurriedly asked him about the herald.

"General Liu is like this, our new commander, he made a mistake, he had to put those prisoners in cages and parade in the streets, those prisoners didn't do it, they turned around, many people in and outside the city were making trouble, and Jiankang City was on fire again!"

Liu Yue suddenly understood that this was the result of yesterday's unclean eradication of the deserters in Jiankang City, those deserters were mixed among the people, and they would definitely take advantage of the chaos to make trouble whenever they had the opportunity. Liu Yu clenched his fists, and he couldn't wait to slaughter Huo Ill, an idle kid who had nothing to do! (To be continued......)
