Su Yan sat on a chair in the Yaqian Hall, staring blankly ahead, and things had developed to a point he couldn't imagine. Xiao Yu, on the other hand, looked at him with curious eyes, wanting to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say.

All the palace maids who were waiting by the side tonight were called into the Yaqian Palace, squatting in a cluster with tears wiping their eyes, and Qu Ning was also sitting beside them. The guards of the Imperial Forest Army surrounded the Yaqian Palace.

"How did you become an emperor? Does my father really think I've gotten better? But I already think it's good to be named a king, why do you want me to be the emperor? Is there no one else up to the task? Su Yan muttered to himself, originally he wanted to ask Liu Yu what was going on.

At this time, his master Liu Yu had no time to take care of him, and was arguing with Yuan Bolang, the right minister.

"Commander Liu, what do you mean by this? Why is the old man not allowed to go out to mourn? Yuan Bolang asked aggressively.

Liu Yue said sharply: "Prime Minister Yuan, the new emperor has not officially ascended the throne, the situation in Chang'an is not stable, do you want to make the court situation unstable now, and Chang'an City will not be peaceful?" ”

Yuan Bolang paid attention to etiquette, especially when it came to the national rites of the Son of Heaven's enthronement. But he knew that this kid was consumed with him, and he didn't adopt his opinion at all, and he had his own set.

"What does Commander Liu mean?"

"It seems that all the courtiers should gather, the new emperor will ascend the throne, and at the same time the emperor will mourn!"

Yuan Bolang gritted his teeth and said, "No! ”

"Then I can't help it!" Liu Yu waved his hand, and Yang Lie approached Yuan Bolang with a smile.

Yuan Bolang said nervously: "What do you want to do?" ”

Liu Yu turned sideways, while Yang Lie bowed and said, "Xiangguo forgive me, the lower officials are acting as ordered." ”

Yuan Bolang made a statement to intimidate Yang Lie. On one side, he was put on a chair beside Qu Ning by the guards. He was pressed to the chair by the guards. Yuan Bolang finally compromised: "The old man doesn't fight, okay?" Let go. The old man will sit, without your help! Yang Lie let go of the guard's hand, but he still stared vigilantly from the side.

The hall in front of Yaqian was very quiet, and even if the palace maids cried, they didn't dare to cry out loud. Liu Yu stood at the door of the palace, waiting for the news from outside the palace.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, the first thing to control was the military power inside and outside Chang'an City, and in addition, he also gathered the princes and ministers of civil and military affairs to prevent them from taking the opportunity to make trouble.

Most of the princes and princesses entered the palace one after another. And Liu Yu, the minister of civil and military affairs, was not in a hurry to summon the summons to prevent some people from smelling the wind and making trouble. Everything behaved as if the emperor was going to give instructions on his deathbed. As long as the prince and princess are controlled, even if someone wants to make trouble, there is no support. As for Su Yan, the seventh prince who worried him the most, he also sent the secret agents of the Royal Forest Army to intercept him earlier, escorted him in name, and actually escorted him into Chang'an.

The four princesses and their husbands were the most advanced to the palace, and the six princes, the eight princes and others also came in one after another, but only the four princes Su Ren were missing. This King of Jin can be said to be the most powerful prince in Chang'an City to compete with Su Yan for the throne, and Liu Yue is afraid that something will happen.

Seeing that the fourth watch has passed. Liu Yu and the others were impatient, and said to Qu Zhu, who was waiting beside him: "You take the Wuwei Imperial Forest Army to the Jin Palace." Even if he is tied, he will be tied up, and he will be killed if he resists! ”

Liu Yu estimated that Xu Xuanzhu should take the guards out of the city, and said to Zhang Ye, the commander of the left: "You bring the imperial decree and go to the city gates to issue edicts and block the city gates." Only the south gate of Yu was opened. This is a copy of the commander's handwritten letter, you bring it to Li Duwei, the defense division of the South Gate of Yunan! ”

Qu Zhu and Zhang Ye took orders one after another.

The night gradually faded, and at dawn, Qu Zhu hurriedly brought people to report, saying that Su Ren, the king of Jin, led his family to kill a guard desperately to invite the unprepared Imperial Forest Army, and before Chang'an City closed the city gate, he went to the direction of Chang'an Beida Camp outside the city, that is, Dongshui Daying.

"Bastard!" Liu Yu scolded angrily, and blamed himself for being careless, he didn't explain to the guards who went first earlier, and now that the tiger is returning to the mountain, it is difficult to catch it again. I wanted to lure you into the urn, but I didn't expect the prey to escape before it entered the trap.

Liu Yu remembered that Liu Chengjin, the orthodox leader of the Dongshui Battalion, was the old department of the Four Princes, and if he was hooked up by Su Ren, although the more than 10,000 troops of the Dongshui Battalion would not break through Chang'an City, it was also possible to set up another mountain.

Now that the city gates are closed, there is no need to hide it from the ministers. Liu Yu ordered to go to the yamen of the six defense divisions in the city to give an order, and when everything was almost arranged, he began to issue an edict to order the ministers to enter the palace.

After a long period of delay, Liu Yu planned to order Su Yan to ascend the throne in public at the noon court, but the current situation is urgent, and Liu Yu can no longer make other considerations. On the one hand, it is necessary to arrange the city gate to change the defense, which is to prevent the cronies of the four princes in the city from opening the city gate to welcome the Dongshui camp army into the city, and on the other hand, to occupy the commanding heights of power and morality, and to sit on the throne of Su Yan.

In recent days, Chang'an City has not been peaceful, the three princes have just subsided in rebellion, followed by the five princes, these days the palace has made a sound poisoning case, people are already panicking, and now the inner city and outer city gates of Chang'an City are closed again, which has caused many people to speculate. Although the ministers were worried, after all, the news in the palace was very tightly covered, especially the series of actions of the Imperial Forest Army, which made it impossible to spread a word outside the palace.

As soon as the morning edict was issued, the ministers could only be ordered to enter the court.

Although this time it is an unusually early dynasty, it is not a big court meeting full of wind and rain, it is just the specifications of an ordinary court meeting. The specifications are not large, but the ministers summoned are all the real power factions of Chang'an City, and even the ministers of the Ministry of War who do not participate in the discussion of politics themselves are also among the summonses.

Seeing that the sun was rising, the courtiers had basically gathered in Fengcui Palace, and Liu Yu ordered the south gate of the palace to be closed. While preparing to accompany Su Yan. At this moment, the guards came to report, saying that the national teacher was asking to see him outside the hospital.

Liu Yu couldn't understand why Wu You would look for him at this juncture. But some of Wu You's predictions are accurate, and he is also calculating, and it doesn't hurt for Liu Yu to want to see first.

Wu You was waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and when he saw Liu Yu, he greeted him, and asked on the spot: "Is the emperor a guest?" ”

Liu Yu glanced at him, didn't answer, Wu You continued: "There are some things you don't need to explain clearly, Xiao Lao'er asked you, can you find the book of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

"It should come." Liu Yudao.

"Why should you come?" Wu You didn't have a good breath and said, "Little Lao'er wants to remind you that it is not easy for the Ministry of Rites to return to this person, you are careful that he took advantage of the loophole and let the cooked duck fly!" ”

Liu Yu was afraid that he would make mistakes in some joints, so he didn't ask the reason for it now, and said directly to Qu Zhu: "You take a little eunuch to Fengcui Palace to summon the book of the Ministry of Rites, and say that the emperor summoned you!" ”

Qu Zhu went, Liu Yucai asked the reason, but Wu You didn't seem to hear it, so he just didn't say it.

"Emperor Bintian, how much do you know about the etiquette of the edict succession?" After being silent for a long time, Wu You asked.

Liu Yu made a difficulty, he really didn't know about it. However, he still didn't think there was a big problem during this period.

"With the right minister Yuan Bolang here, he used to be a secretary of the Ministry of Rites, so there shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Wu You sneered: "Did you listen to him? ”

Liu Yudeng was speechless, thinking that he had been singing a one-man show since last night, not to mention Yuan Bolang, and he didn't even ask the opinions of the new emperor Su Yan.

"I think I can do everything, but I make mistakes from time to time. After all, it shouldn't be you, the commander of the Royal Forest, who is presiding over the state funeral. It's too late for you to repent! ”

Although Liu Yu didn't quite understand the difference between being presided over by him or by the right minister, he instinctively realized that Wu You's reminder was reasonable.

Liu Yu was about to take Wu You into the Yaqian Hall to ask Yuan Bolang for his guilt, when Qu Zhu hurriedly came over and said in Liu Yu's ear: "The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Qian Hui is missing." ”

"Missing?" Liu Yue was shocked, "When?" ”

"There are still people at the palace gate, but no one has seen him enter the palace, probably hiding in the city." Qu Zhu Road.

Liu Yu finally understood Wu You's worries, no matter how big a wave of the Ministry of Rites could be, but in terms of the new emperor's accession to the throne, there were many branches. He did sigh a little, if you want to talk about playing tricks, he does have some ghost ideas. But when it comes to the heirloom of the country's important weapon, he is a layman at all.

"What's wrong with Zhilu?" Wu You sneered, "Don't you think you still have one less person?" ”

"Who?" Liu Yu asked.

"What do you say? On weekdays, you and that Mr. Han come in and out, why don't you ask him at this time? ”

Liu Yu finally realized that he had been feeling uneasy all the time, and he couldn't find the reason, it turned out to be Han Sheng's problem. If the other ministers didn't know who the heir of the Dao was at all, Han Sheng knew the Dao earlier than him. And this pair of old friends are almost synchronous in and out on weekdays, and they are also in-laws, but they didn't invite him over at this critical time.

Although it is a family member, if Han Shengzhi Dao tampered with the edict himself, he doesn't know whether Old Man Han will kill his relatives in righteousness.

"Is it too late?" Liu Yu hurriedly asked.

Wu You smiled and said, "Little Lao'er pinched his fingers, he should come uninvited." (To be continued......)
