A farewell banquet, because of Su Yan's gaffe, he lost the taste of the banquet. The people present, including Su Bi and Xu Xuanzhu, were all looking at Liu Yu. Liu Yu's face was also calm, his expression did not fluctuate too much, and after the last moment, Liu Yu lifted the sword and said, "Feast!" ”

Not long after the banquet began, it was about to disperse. The meaning is already obvious, even if Su Yan wants to leave Chang'an City, Liu Yu no longer intends to see him off. In the final analysis, Liu Yu's main purpose in holding this banquet was to test Su Yan, and now Su Yan confessed honestly, saving Liu Yu trouble.

This incident also made Liu Yue more certain that he must use thunderous means to deal with the Three Puritans, and he could not let it have any chance of development.

As soon as the banquet dispersed, Liu Yu asked Lian Husheng and other guards to gather important military and political officials, and held a mobilization meeting to discuss how to exterminate the Three Qing Sects, and then Liu Yue strode out of the Wu'an Palace, except for Xu Xuanzhu who returned to the inner court and Chai Jin and his wife who went home together, the rest of the people followed behind and moved to the Yaqian Palace. Su Yan shrank his head and followed behind, he knew that he couldn't run this time, and Liu Yu also asked him to go over by name, and explained everything he knew about Lu Dao in detail.

In terms of civilian officials, Liu Yu mainly convened officials from Shangshutai, Sansi and Jingzhaofu, most of whom were Liu Yu's descendants, and neither descendants, nor had much to do with Su Zhe, and were basically newly promoted officials of the new dynasty.

Liu Yu entered the Yaqian Hall first, and soon, as the emperor, Qi'er came under the escort of the female official, and today she was discussing a major matter related to the Shun Dynasty Sheji, and Qi'er had to participate, but she came over at most to observe. The one who presides over is still Liu Yu.

Liu Yu divided everyone into several waves. Summoned in batches. It is tantamount to making different people form different departments to deal with some division of labor and cooperation in the extermination of the Three Puritans.

First of all, Shangshutai, mainly Han Sheng and Sui Yu, Liu Yu did not let Chai Jin, who was a royal concubine, attend, because of his special status. In order to completely exterminate the Three Puritans, Liu Yu first issued a decree classifying the Three Puritans as "evil cults" and immediately ordered all parts of the country to be sent to yamen, military offices, and local garrison camps. Thoroughly investigate local religious affairs, strictly prohibit any gatherings carried out in the name of religion, detain and interrogate those involved, and even torture those involved, so as to achieve the goal of qualitative eradication in terms of government decrees.

In the first wave of summons, Liu Yu made it very clear, that is, let Han Sheng and Sui Yu define the Three Qing Sect in the name of the imperial court, determine a programmatic decree of the imperial court, and send it from the imperial court to the locality.

Han Sheng had already heard what Su Yan said in the Wu'an Palace. He already knew it in his heart, Liu Yu said. He immediately understood that the current imperial court wanted to eradicate the Three Puritans, just as the imperial court used to ban Buddhism or Taoism, and the provisions of the decrees implemented were roughly the same. Although Han Sheng didn't advocate this very much, he also knew that the current imperial court and the Three Qing Sect were incompatible, mainly because the head of the Three Qing Sect was Liu Yu's political opponent who had always been cautious, Su Zhe, the king of Chu.

After summoning the people from the Shangshutai Yamen, a group of people left, and Liu Yu immediately summoned Qu Zhu, who was the head of the secret intelligence agency, and Liao Mingsheng, the newly promoted Imperial Governor of the Imperial Procuratorate. These two people are Liu Yu's cronies promoted, and what they want to do is not a righteous and bright thing, but something that involves some conspiracy methods.

“…… Lao Qu, you continue to be responsible for the investigation and follow-up of some important personnel within the Three Puritans, and at the appropriate time to take down these people and interrogate them, so as to know who the superiors behind them are, step by step, and catch out the big fish......"

“…… Mingsheng, you are responsible for gathering a group of people, specially representing the imperial court, to conduct a certain amount of training in Chang'an City first, so that they can expose the so-called miracles of the Three Qing Sects, and they can perform in public all over Chang'an City, and then go to the place. For those miracles that are not easy to crack, you can offer a reward to ask the charlatan to help, those tricks, few of them are original, even if they are original, there are always flaws to follow......"

Qu Zhu is already familiar with the control of the intelligence department, and the imperial court has been secretly monitoring a group of middle and upper class figures of the Three Puritans, and this time the imperial court wants to eradicate the Three Puritans, and his task is slightly heavier. As for Liao Mingsheng, what Liu Yu asked him to do was just a basic debunking trick. In order to convince the people that the Three Puritans are a cult, it is necessary to expose the lies one by one and let the people know that the so-called miracles are nothing more than that.

After summoning the two, Liu Yu first asked Qu Zhu to do errands, and left Liao Mingsheng, and then immediately summoned Li Mi, the secretary of the military department and the president of the Yamen of the General Defense Department, and Yin Wanghu of Jingzhao Mansion.

Liao Mingsheng had just arrived in Chang'an City, and he only had an official title and no available people, so Liu Yue asked Li Mi and Wang Hu to assist Liao Mingsheng in handling this matter. At the same time, Liu Yu also needed to use the officers and soldiers of the Yamen of the General Defense Department and the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion to check the assembly points of the Three Puritans in the city, and at the same time to arrest some of the disciples of the Three Puritans.

Locally, Liu Yue can rest assured that the soldiers of the garrison battalion and the military affairs office will assist the local yamen, but at the foot of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an City, Liu Yue doesn't want to make too much trouble, so he lets the soldiers enter the city. Fortunately, in addition to Jingzhao Mansion in Chang'an City, there are also subordinate Yamen of the Four Cities and Yamen of the Six Defense Divisions, and relying on these people is enough to stabilize the interior of Chang'an City. Li Mi was already very experienced in the previous purge activities, and Wang Hu was a novice, but with Wang Hu's talent of "doing evil", Liu Yue was a little better, and he even proposed to let Liu Yu arrange a batch of fine works in the Three Puritans. Although Wang Hu's proposal is not too good, it at least proves that he is doing things with all his heart.

After summoning Li Mi and Wang Hu, Liu Yu ordered the two to retreat, still leaving Liao Mingsheng and not letting him go. Liu Yu summoned the people of the three divisions next, because Liao Mingsheng was the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and as one of the heads of the three divisions, he also needed to stay.

Liu Yu had almost arranged the previous arrest of the Three Puritans, and the rest was the question of how to deal with the followers, and for some of the followers who could "repent and repent," Liu Yu would naturally pardon their "crimes" in a normal way, so as to divide the Three Puritans so that more of them could get rid of the influence of the cult. However, for those stubborn believers, Liu Yu did not intend to let them go easily, Liu Yu had already decided to add a few cells and prisons in the city to specifically imprison the Three Puritans, and sent a group of people to "educate" them.

Special periods, with special means. Liu Yue knew that the truth of what wildfires could not burn and the spring breeze blew and reborn, and that if we wanted to crack down on the Three Puritans, we had to scandalize them to the point that they were like rats crossing the street and everyone shouting and beating them, and even if they were encouraging some of the content of goodness, they should also be denied in general, so that the people felt that it was superstitious and unrealistic. Liu Yue believes that as long as the work of public opinion is done well enough, the good can also be said to be bad, not to mention that the Three Puritans are originally a cult with a layer of Western religious skin, and it has its own inherent weaknesses, and it is not a problem for the imperial court to crack down on its existence.

Liu Yue had a special explanation for the people of the three divisions, and the disciples were detained from Jingzhao Mansion and the Yamen of the Defense Division, and transferred to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, and Liu Yue felt that it should be appropriate to convict them, first of all, they should not be too harsh, and directly condemn them to death. Liu Yu also knows what Huairou is in the Dao, and he also knows that many of the Taoists are ordinary people who do not know the truth, and Liu Yu also has the sincerity to influence these guilty believers. Therefore, in this regard, Liu Yu also has a special explanation for the people of the three divisions.

“…… Among the believers, if they meet vassals, they can not be blamed for the past, and let them go home, and go to the yamen every day for inspection. For some missionaries, they should be held in solitary confinement to prevent demagoguery. As for those who are in charge, they will be severely punished......"

After summoning the people of the three divisions, Liu Yu immediately summoned the two major battalions around Chang'an City, the generals of the South Chang'an Battalion and the Dongshui Battalion, as well as important generals in Chang'an City, such as Huo Yi and others.

With regard to the local garrison camps, Liu Yu's order was to assist the local yamen and eradicate the cult. As for the garrison troops around Chang'an City, Liu Yu ordered everything to be stable. At the same time, Liu Yu also asked the Ministry of War to strictly investigate the missionary phenomenon in the army, and put an end to any development of Sanqingism in the army.

The meeting lasted until the second half of the night, and when Qi'er was sleepy, Liu Yu was still in a meeting with the officials below to discuss. After the last day, Han Sheng and Sui Yu handed over the decree of temporarily revising the good and eradicating the Three Puritans to Liu Yu, and it was already ugly.

Liu Yu saw that there was no deviation in the decree, closed his eyes and thought about what else was missing. After thinking about it for a while, he opened his eyes and asked Han Sheng and Sui Yu to take the decree back and descend from the imperial court to the place overnight.

By the time all this was done, Qi'er had slept on the soft pillow for more than an hour.

"Get up and go back to the inner court." After doing these things, Liu Yu patted Qi'er's face, Qi'er woke up slowly, looked around with sleepy eyes, and only Liu Yu and a few female officials were left.

"Xianggong, is it over? It's so sleepy......"

"It's windy outside, so if you sleep here, you can sleep first, and then go back to the inner court when it's dawn."

Liu Yu asked Qi'er to continue to sleep on the warm kang in the Yaqian Palace, and personally put a quilt on her and let the female official take good care of her, while Liu Yu left the palace overnight and went in the direction of Liu Liniang's residence in the outer house.

When she went to Liu Liniang, Liu Yu went directly to the backyard to find Liu Liniang, and Liu Liniang was also woken up by the maid in her sleep, and she was also sleepy-eyed. However, she is different from Qi'er, after all, Liu Liniang knows the importance of the road, but no matter how sleepy she is, she also knows that Liu Yue's late-night visit must have something big, and she will come to the door without anything.

"Twelve Shao, you came in a hurry, and the court started to catch fire?" Liu Liniang came to the table, poured a cup of tea for Liu Yu, and asked with a little vinegar.

Liu Yu smiled and said the purpose of the trip.

"Li Niang, this time I came to tell you that as soon as early in the morning, the imperial court will officially issue a decree declaring the Three Puritans a cult, and at the same time, the imperial court will use various means to put an end to the development of the Three Puritans in Guanzhong and the local area."

Liu Liniang spread her hands, as if to say, these have nothing to do with me.

Liu Yu smiled again and said, "Looking for you, I want you to help do one thing, which is to use a group of your people to monitor the every move of the officials in the imperial court, and see how many of them have unknown collusion with the Three Qing Sect and the King of Chu."
