Liu Ru and Wen Shizhong were taken to the prison together.

In the prison, there are many familiar faces for them.

Xu Mu, Xu Shilin, father and son are among them, and there are some rebellious ministers and thieves who have brought disaster to the country and the people.

Before these people came in, they were all Wen Shizhong's henchmen.

Now one by one they are in prison.

Entering the cell, Liu Ru was still breezy and calm.

"I used to be outside, and they were inside. Now that I'm in it, it feels really different." Liu Ru smiled.

"Liu Gongzi, my Liu Gongzi, do you still have the leisure to joke now? Hurry up and figure it out." Wen Shizhong was sweating profusely.

"The world has changed hands, and the dynasty has changed, what else can you do?" Liu said.

"Are you really going to die?" Wen Shizhong asked.

"Yes, I can't live."

Liu Ru sat on the ground and muttered, "I started studying the art of dragon slaying at the age of six, and it has been twenty-six years now...... Now that the great cause has been accomplished, I will die without regrets. It's just that my great achievements are destined to be buried in the long river of history, but it's a pity."

"Young Master Liu, what are you talking about?" Wen Shizhong asked.

"It's nothing, just a little emotion. My life is worth it." Liu said.

He exchanged his life for a country, what was not worth it?

The moment the Great Yan Dynasty fell, Liu Ru knew that he was not far from death.

He never thought that he would leave Wudu City alive.

At this time, Su Xuan appeared in front of them.

"It's been a long time." Su Xuan said.

When Wen Shizhong saw Su Xuan, he immediately ran over and pulled it on the iron frame.

"Your Majesty! Please spare my life! For the sake of our colleagues back then, you are gracious!" Wen Shizhong pleaded.

"You want to kill me, but you can't do it repeatedly, but you've never thought of opening the net." Su Xuan said with a smile.

"Why! How could I possibly want to kill Your Majesty? I'm just doing my best for the emperor of the previous dynasty!" Wen Shizhong said.

"Young Master Liu, do you have a last word to explain?" Su Xuan asked.

Liu Ru looked up at Su Xuan and said with a smile, "Your Majesty knows what you want to do. Now that the matter has been done, I will die without regrets."

"I'm not wrong, you're really hard-boned." Su Xuan said.

"I heard that Your Majesty once used a sword in Shuzhou to kill Xiao Hu?" Liu asked.

"It does." Su Xuan replied.

"I've heard that His Majesty uses an extraordinary sword, can you let me see it?" Liu asked.

Su Xuan raised his hand and waved, but the flying sword was not unsheathed.

Got used to it......

So Su Xuan took off the sword and threw it at Liu Rusi.

Liu Ru drew his sword out of the sheath and watched carefully for a while.

"Good sword! It's been a long time since I've seen a sword so sharp. This sword is still very new, dare to ask Your Majesty, who is this sword from?" Liu asked.

"Kenshin." Su Xuan replied.

"Sure enough, who else in this world can forge such a sword but her?" After Liu Ru finished reading it, he gave the sword *** scabbard and presented it to Su Xuan with both hands.

"I thought you wanted to stab you." Su Xuan smiled faintly.

"That's it, there's no point in it. May Your Majesty be forever." Liu Ru bowed.

"Thank you."

After Su Xuan finished speaking, he turned to the side.

Wen Shizhong was still shouting, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty stays, Your Majesty!"

Su Xuan walked to the edge of a cell and stopped to take a look inside.

Locked in this cell are Xu Mu and Xu Shilin, father and son.

How could Xu Shilin have thought that the little eunuch who competed with him in the country back then has now become the monarch of the empire.

At this time, Xu Shilin thought of Zhou Wenfa.

That damn thing, switched

Su Xuan, it's really shit luck that has gone through eight lifetimes.

Xu Shilin stepped forward and wanted to talk to Su Xuan.

But Su Xuan just glanced at their father and son, didn't say anything, and left.

Su Xuan came here just to take a look at Liu Rus.

If it weren't for the fact that Liu Ru did a lot of evil and killed Zhongliang in the capital. With a talent like Liu Ru, Su Xuan really wanted to reuse him.

He had too much blood on his hands and had to die.

As for Xu Mu and Xu Shilin, in Su Xuan's eyes, they are just a pair of straw bales father and son.

Su Xuan never took them seriously.

After that, Su Xuan issued a decree to crown the eldest daughter Qibao as the princess of Jing'an. The word of the title has not changed, but the title has changed, and the lord of Cheng County has become a princess.

Feng's eldest son, Su Yunmu, was the king of Chu.

Then canonized Xiao Xinrou as the imperial concubine, Xu Qinghuan and Lianxin as the concubines.

As for the establishment of the crown prince, Su Xuan planned to slow it down.

His idea is that it is better to be virtuous and not to be long, and to wait for the children to grow up, and then confirm who is the prince.

Su Xuan discussed this matter privately with several ladies, and they also agreed.

For more than a month, in the court, the civil official team headed by Bai You gradually improved.

Except for Cui Yi and a few other Qingliu from the previous dynasty who still remained in the court, the rest were all young faces.

Because Su Xuan abandoned a lot of complicated rules, this also led to a much more relaxed atmosphere in the court than in the previous dynasty.

Before, the emperor sat and the ministers stood.

Now Su Xuan has set up a seat for every minister of the previous dynasty, and the ministers can sit and discuss things with Su Xuan.

On this day, Su Xuan ordered a group of people to be killed.

Wen Shizhong was punished with Ling Chi and beheaded all over the house.

Liu Ru was punished with Ling Chi, because he didn't dig up Liu Ruye's family background for a month, so he could only give up killing him.

Xiao Hu was full of beheading, but it did not involve the former emperor Xiao Jinghan. Only killed Xiao Hu and his wife and children.

It is normal for Su Xuan to kill Xiao Hu's family, but if Xiao Jinghan is involved, then Xiao Xinrou must also be involved.

Xiao Hu's full door naturally can't include these two people.

Xu Mu's family was all over the house.

Xiao Hu's henchmen were often opened, punished Ling Chi, and wiped out the nine clans.

Chang Bokai was the only one who was punished by Su Xuan for the Nine Clans.

In order to achieve his goal, this person did everything he could, and did not hesitate to kill the lives of 200,000 people in Yuezhou.

Chang Bo's crime is extremely heinous, and it is simply too much to write.

The rest of Wen Shizhong's henchmen were sentenced according to their crimes.

In addition, Su Xuan personally issued a holy decree to pardon a person's crimes.

This person is Xiao Hu's henchman, Xu Wending.

He asked Admiralty to investigate Xu Wending for a long time and dig deep into his background.

Although this person is also a member of the Huazhou Army, he is the backbone. But he did not participate in the cruelty of the people.

After killing this group of people, Su Xuan's grievances with the previous dynasty were basically over.

Next, Su Xuan has one more big thing to do.

Although the new dynasty has gained a firm foothold, there are still Jiangnan that have not been included in the territory.

After another three months, after the court was completely stable, Bai You was willing to ask Su Xuan to convene the military attaches to discuss the matter of the southern expedition.

In fact, most of the affairs in the court are handled by Bai You.

Although Su Xuan is also busy every day, his efficiency is far less than that of Bai You, and even Xiao Xinrou can't compare.

There's no way, there is a specialization in the art industry, who let the family specialize in this?

For this reason, Xu Ershou always laughed at Su Xuan, saying that Bai You was Su Xuan's prince of the prison country.

Xu Ershou dared to joke with Su Xuan like this.

The reason why he said this was because in the past few months, Su Xuan had mentioned to Bai You many times about the southern expedition, but Bai You was ruthless every time

dismissed.

Sometimes Bai You was annoyed by Su Xuan, so he said a word very tactfully.

Get lost.

Su Xuan thought about it, what Xu Ersian said was really right.

Isn't Bai You his prince of the prison country?

The key is that Bai You is staring, and Su Xuan can't lie down even if he wants to.

Inside the Mandarin Palace.

A group of generals discussed with Su Xuan about the conquest of Jiangnan.

The Changning army has 500,000 people, while the Daning army is actually less than 200,000.

It's another scene of a huge disparity in troops.

"The main strength of the Changning Army is in Yangzhou and Jiangling, which can be attacked, retreated, and defended. If you want to eat Jiangnan, I'm afraid it's going to be a protracted war again." Su Xuan said.

"The strength of the Changning Army is not only in these two states, but also in Yuezhou and Yongzhou, and the troops are distributed and very even. Judging from our strength, it is not enough to support us to open such a long front." Qian Wu said.

"Well, my idea is to break through Yangzhou City first. The Changning army in Yangzhou City wanted to hold Yangzhou City, which was more difficult. It is possible that they will retreat to the south of the Canglan River.

As long as we occupy Yangzhou and then use Yangzhou as a stronghold, we can eat Jiangling first. In this way, one-third of the territory of the Changning Army will fall into our hands."

Su Xuan said.

"Eat Yangzhou first, and then attack Jiangling, this method is good." Qian Wu nodded.

If Yangzhou can be attacked, it will be equivalent to dividing the territory of the Changning Army into two.

Jiangling is located on the edge of Moon Lake, and if the Changning army wants to support Jiangling, it has to cross Yangzhou.

If you want to go to Yangzhou, you have to ask the Wushuang Army if you agree.

As for why Su Xuan was so sure that he could eat Yangzhou, the reason was very simple.

They now have hundreds of Divine Gun Cannons, and they have come to the front of the Heaven and Earth Cannons.

As for the muskets, now the Daning Army is no longer in use, and all of them have been changed to arquebuses.

The bows and arrows used by archers are all compound bows.

Even if the Changning army had firearms, the firepower would definitely not be as powerful as the imperial army.

So if you want to break Yangzhou City, it's actually very simple.

Just take the gun mount outside Yangzhou City and bombard Yangzhou City.

This kind of fire covers the past, let alone the city gate, and even the city wall can blast it open for him.

The imperial court wants to concentrate its fire on a city, and I am afraid that no one will be able to defend it.

"100,000 troops, enough to eat Yangzhou. Erthin, Taiping, Admiralty, Shen Qi, Chunfeng. The five of you will go with me to Jiangnan." Su Xuan said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, are you going to take the royal conquest?" Xu Ershou asked.

"Yes! 100,000 soldiers, with 100 cannons, 800 cannons. Is this kind of army enough to eat Yangzhou?" Su Xuan said with a smile.

"Absolutely!"
