Chapter 279: Returning to the Envoys
Qu Zhu's errand is not as idle as when Liu Yue was the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, if Liu Yue is a part-time errand, Qu Zhu is full-time. After Qu Zhu returned to Chang'an City, he even ate and lived in the palace, and he appeared in Xiaohualou like this, which can only be explained as either escorting Su Yan here, or acting on an errand. Liu Yu didn't receive any news in advance.
Sui Yi went upstairs under the guidance of the guys in Qinglou, and a crisis in Xiaohualou seemed to be resolved, and at this time, Qu Zhu also saw Liu Yu coming over, and he just hugged his fists and saluted in a crowded place, without saying much.
Liu Yu frowned slightly, meaning to ask why Qu Zhu was here. Qu Zhu understood and said in a low voice: "The emperor is also here." ”
Sure enough, it was Su Yan who came out of the palace, such a big thing, if it was just Su Yan's playfulness for a while, he would not have found Min Shaoqing and Ma Feng to accompany him while accompanying the Imperial Forest Army, these two are the kind of Geng Zhichen who admit death. It can't be said that Xiaohualou is doing business.
"Why are you here?" Liu Yu was a little annoyed in his tone, he didn't go to the palace to take care of Su Yan these days, for fear that Su Yan would make trouble.
Qu Zhu was puzzled: "First let the subordinates report to the emperor, and the emperor will explain to General Liu that it is good." ”
Although Qu Zhu also recognized Liu Yu as his boss, the matter involved the emperor, and he didn't dare to make a claim, so he had to go upstairs to ask Su Yan's opinion first. Liu Yu looked up and saw that Su Yan was not waiting outside for the opening of the performance, that is, in a certain room.
When watching performances, you have to keep a low profile, and you will definitely not look for Min Shaoqing and Ma Feng; If you are doing the right thing, you should be cautious, and Xiaohualou should be blocked. Now it's neither, so it means that he wants to use the hustle and bustle of Xiaohualou as a cover and do something that he doesn't want outsiders to know. Liu Yu thought about it. Now Su Yan has to guard against it. Either anti-Turkic. Either to prevent the vassal king who is about to enter Chang'an City, of course, there is an extreme possibility, that is, to prevent him Liu Yu, and discuss the matter of getting rid of him here.
It is not impossible that he was not informed in advance.
Xiaohualou has calmed down after a fuss in Sui Yi, and all the guests who did not flee are waiting for the opening of the performance. Liu Yu went up to the second floor first to wait at Li Mi and Sui Yi's table, Sui Yi leaned over and asked, "What's the situation?" ”
"The emperor is here." Liu Yudao.
Sui Yi's face immediately turned pale. Playing official power here just now, it was already bad to be seen by Min Shaoqing and Ma Feng, but I didn't expect the emperor to be there, that is to say, if he can't come up with a reasonable explanation afterwards, he is likely to be demoted or dismissed.
"Don't worry." Liu Yu said, "I will tell the emperor later, you are with me to check the identity of this Liu Meier, and say that you suspect that she is Liu Liniang." ”
Sima Xuan'er came up from downstairs with some doubts, and she had already noticed the change in the expressions of these court officials. was extremely arrogant with a bit of a game mentality before, but now it's solemn. It's likely that something big is happening. And she, as a female streamer, was only invited by Liu Yu to recognize people, so she didn't get too close to listen to what they said.
"Miss Sima, you can rest here for a while, and go downstairs to do some errands."
When Liu Yu spoke, he saw that Qu Zhu had come down from the third floor of Xiaohua Building, and many guests on the third floor were straight as if they were watching, but they were actually patrolling, and Liu Yue could detect that it was the guards of the Imperial Forest Army. Liu Yu greeted Qu Zhu, and Qu Zhu said, "General Liu, the emperor invites you in." ”
Liu Yu couldn't figure out what Su Yan was doing in the room, Min Shaoqin and Ma Feng continued to sit in the corner of the first floor, and they didn't seem to be in a hurry to go upstairs, and Su Yan only invited him to meet the driver, wouldn't he really want to have a rabbit dead dog cook "blood splashed in Weiyang Palace"?
"Who else is inside?" Liu Yue was cautious and asked more.
Qu Zhu no longer concealed it at this time, and said, "There are also Hui envoys inside. ”
Liu Yu was a little relieved in his heart, it was not a secret that the Hui envoys entered Chang'an City, but because of the sudden insertion of the Turks, this Hui envoy team became extremely mysterious, and the whereabouts on the road were uncertain, and two groups of fake envoys were dispatched. Their precautions proved to be justified, and one of the fake envoys was ambushed by the Turks, suffering heavy casualties. And Yang Lie also reported to Liu Yu that the Hui people would enter Chang'an City within a day or two, but he didn't expect Su Yan to come to this kind of place in person to meet the envoys.
It would be normal for this kind of thing to be done by any one of Yuan Bolang, Lan He, or Min Shaoqing, but Su Yanlai was not normal.
"Who let the emperor go out of the palace and take risks?" Liu Yu stopped and questioned Qu Zhu.
"It's the Marquis of Linqing." Qu Zhu Road.
Liu Yu was stunned, if this was Yuan Bolang and Min Shaoqing's idea, it can be assumed that they hoped to skip Liu Yu and reach some secret agreement with the Hui people, and let the emperor come in person just to not give Liu Yu a chance to refute afterwards. The covenant made by the emperor himself was not reproached by the courtiers.
But when it was Chai Jin, Liu Yu really didn't understand what he was going to do, and who would have guessed what that elm head would think.
"Marquis of Linqing...... Also on it? Liu Yu asked.
Qu Zhu nodded and replied to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu is really a little confused, how can it seem that everyone knows the way, but he didn't notify him, if this is a meeting in the palace, it would be fine, anyway, he has not entered the court recently, since he has put on this posture, he can't complain about others. But this is a secret meeting, and the discussion must also be a major matter of forming an alliance and sending troops, and he can't talk about this kind of thing without having full control of military power.
In other words, Su Yan deliberately joined forces with other ministers to empty his power. This is the most unbearable for Liu Yue.
Liu Yu can tolerate his own power to give way to Xian, and he definitely can't tolerate others to steal his power. In a high position, he will definitely stick to this minimum principle. The difference between the two is obvious, the former can continue to lie on the merit book for a dull life, and will not completely lose power in the court, while the latter is likely to be accompanied by the complete destruction of the Liu family.
Liu Yu entered a room upstairs with a bit of suspicion and annoyance.
In the house, in addition to the guards accompanying the two sides, there were not many people from the Dashun Dynasty and the Hui Dynasty, Su Yan, Chai Jin and Yuan Bolang, the right minister on the side of the court, and the envoy representatives on the Hui side were a total of four, all of whom were exotic people with mustaches and wearing Hu clothes.
The head of the Hui people is very young, and Liu Yu has learned that it should be a prince of the Hui people. However, because the Hui royal family has many wives and children, such a prince is generally not too powerful. In the words of the Han people, they are all concubines.
"Where's the guy?" Seeing Liu Yu suddenly stand up, the Hui people at the head looked at Liu Yu vigilantly, and said in not very pure Chinese, "But the Turkic spies?" ”
"The Dadu envoy misunderstood. He is Liu Yu, the Marquis of Wuyi of the Dashun Imperial Court, my master, and it was I who invited him to come up. After Su Yan finished explaining, he looked at Liu Yu and said, "Master, this is Dadu, the nineteenth prince of Hui, who sent an envoy to Chang'an on behalf of the king of Hui. (To be continued......)
