On the afternoon of the ninth day of the lunar month, Liu Yu finally got the return of the secret agent, and Su Bi was still in the palace. At the same time, in the past two days, the big and small affairs of the imperial court have been put on hold, and there have been many abnormal situations in the large and small offices of the imperial court. Chang'an City seems to be in a state of responding to the enemy.

After getting this news, Liu Yu was still a little relieved.

In fact, what Liu Yu is most afraid of is that Su Bi will be mixed with his enemies behind the scenes, if Su Bi gives up his support for the new emperor and instead supports Su Zhe, the king of Chu who is the "orthodox successor", then Liu Yu will fall into passivity. Since it is certain that Su Bi is conspiring with Su Yan, it means that a big mess may be resolved. But who exactly participated in this conspiracy, and what was the conspiracy, the spies had no way of finding out.

After all, inside the palace walls is a forbidden area.

There is no snow and wind on the ninth day of the first month, the sharp northwest wind blew for a day, such a cold weather, there are no pedestrians on the road, but the fast horse is galloping on the horse road, and every move of the military camp outside Tongguan affects the hearts of everyone in the imperial court.

In the palace, there was a conspiracy that lasted for a day and a night, and there were only four people at the meeting, the new emperor Su Yan, the fourth princess Su Bi, the newly crowned Chang'an Daying President Hu Shaoyu, and the president of the Imperial Forest Army Qu Zhu. There is also a military advisor behind the scenes of the new emperor, who is his new concubine Yimei Cao Yi. Even the other three people present at the meeting did not know what to say, in fact, there was a fifth pair of ears behind this conspiracy.

This time the secret discussion was extremely secret, and the place of the secret discussion was not in the Yaqian Palace, but in the emperor's bedroom. The palace announced to the outside world that the emperor had been sick for the past two days and could not see anyone, so many matters that needed to be discussed in the court were temporarily put on hold, waiting for the emperor's illness to recover. In the two days that the emperor was in the palace, he not only retired the palace maids and eunuchs. The Imperial Guards couldn't get even a step closer to the dormitory. It's time to eat. The head of the eunuchs, Wu Gonggong, will personally send the rice over, and the rice is very simple, not a delicacies of the mountains and seas, just coarse tea and light rice that can fill the stomach.

This secret discussion began on the eighth day of the lunar month and did not end until the ninth dusk of the first lunar month, when it ended, Hu Shaoyu hurriedly left the palace, and Qu Zhu also returned to the palace of the Imperial Forest Army. Su Bi continued to stay in the palace. The emperor summoned several people, including the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, the head of the Yamen of the Six Defense Divisions of Chang'an City, and the president of Dongshui Daying. These people can also be regarded as important pawns of the emperor to stabilize the defense of the capital, and they are all important members of the military, and it is rare for the emperor to summon so many people to meet at one time. And the last time, it was when Li Guifei wanted to usurp power.

Several civil and military officials who led the defense of Chang'an City received the holy decree and hurriedly entered the palace to meet the emperor, and the news was immediately learned by Liu Yu. At this time, it was just nightfall on the ninth day of the first month, and Liu Yu's first reaction when he heard the news was that the imperial court was going to make a move.

Who is the target of the shot, it may be Hua Ji'an, it may be tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the imperial court outside Tongguan. But it could also be him. As for why Liu Yu can be inferred from one detail, that is, Xu Xuanzhu has been ignored by the imperial court recently. As a strong part of the garrison of Chang'an City, the commander of the women's army was not summoned by the emperor, it can be said that the emperor is avoiding suspicion, and it can be said that the emperor is targeting Liu Yu.

I don't want to startle the snake, but the more this happens, the more I startle Liu Yu's snake.

When Liu Yu heard the news, he directly threw down the book and said to Xu Xuanzhu: "Get out of the city immediately!" ”

Xu Xuanzhu found that Liu Yu was a little anxious this day, she understood that Liu Yu was worried about being grounded by the emperor, but she didn't expect Liu Yu to say something out of the city at this time. Xu Xuanzhu felt the indiscriminity in Liu Yu's tone, and was slightly stunned: "After nightfall, the gate of Chang'an City is closed, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out." ”

"It's okay, I have my own way!"

Liu Yu said that he immediately asked the guards of the new army who followed him into Chang'an City to contact the secret agents in the city, and the secret agents immediately spread the news outside the city. At this time, it was the time of the last shift, and Liu Yu's house seemed to be calm, but in fact, Liu Yu was ready to slip away.

Before the summons of the palace ended, news came from outside, saying that Xu Caihua, the deputy marshal of the female army, had directly led the guards into the city without being informed, and was walking in the direction of the military department, as if she was going to report to the military department overnight if there was something important.

"She's coming?" Su Yan was a little confused, at this time it was a tense state of war, and the appearance of anyone would interfere with some military deployments of the imperial court.

Su Bi said in a firm tone on the side: "It is important for the emperor to drive her out of Chang'an City first. ”

Su Yan nodded, in order not to make any extraneous branches, Su Yan immediately asked people to go to the military department to inform that Xu Caihua must return to the military camp immediately.

The matter seems to have nothing to do with it, but since Liu Yu got the Ministry of War to stop Xu Caihua from reporting on his work, he understands that the matter must be related to him. This connection is very subtle, and Liu Yue grasps it very accurately. That is, the female army is also within the emperor's military planning system, why the emperor has not made any deployment to the female army for the time being, because the high-level problem of the women's army has not been solved at that time, and this "high-level" is Liu Yu's wife, Xu Xuanzhu, the commander of the women's army.

Liu Yu felt a chill down his spine, the emperor who was picked up by him was actually beating his idea, although it was not necessary to put him to death, but Liu Yue could guess that the imperial court might use Liu Yu's safety as a threat, forcing Xu Xuanzhu to express his support for the imperial court and start a war with the Huaji'an department.

Although this battle may not be fought, after all, the Huaji'an Department is also the army of the Shun Dynasty, and if the imperial court wants to remove Liu Yu and Huaji'an's military power, it must attack these two people, and it must ensure sufficient backup to obtain the support of the generals of the Huaji'an Department. And once Liu Yu is placed under house arrest, then Liu Yu's subordinates, such as Huo Yi and Qi Fang, may change their position and stand on the side of the imperial court, which is equivalent to trapping Huaji and being alone.

Although Liu Yufan seems to be indifferent, he never wants to lose his freedom, let alone lose his life.

And what Liu Yu expected was exactly right, at this time in the palace, Su Yan had already said his order, the first step was to besiege the forward general's mansion, and take the forward general Wuyi Marquis Liu Yu to the military department for "trial".

When the military generals of all parties in the court who controlled the garrison of Chang'an City were really shocked to learn of this will, most of them had also served in the army under Liu Yu, and Liu Yu had made outstanding achievements in the past two years, and they couldn't accept the sudden attack on the heroes by the imperial court.

But the emperor's order is difficult to disobey.

At the same time, Qu Zhu had personally led the Imperial Forest Army to the Qianfeng General's Mansion to besiege it, but when he arrived, he found that although the female guards of the Qianfeng General's Mansion were still there, none of the male and female hosts in the mansion were left.

Liu Yu's family suddenly disappeared.

Qu Zhu immediately led his troops back to the palace to inform the emperor of the matter, and when the new emperor Su Yan and the fourth princess Su Bi learned that Liu Yu was missing, they realized that they had been discovered by Liu Yu in advance, and with Liu Yu's cunning and cunning, once they found out the danger, they would do everything.

Su Bi immediately made a decision at this time and ordered Qu Zhu: "Close the city gate, search and arrest the whole city, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must dig Liu Wenyan out!" (To be continued......)
