Chapter 156: A Game in Chaos (1)

Su Yan sat on a chair in the Yaqian Hall, looking at the front with empty eyes, and things developed to the point he could not imagine. Xiaoyu looked at him with curious eyes, trying to comfort him, but didn't know what to say.

The palace maids who were serving tonight were all summoned into the Yaqian Hall, squatting into a cluster with tears, and Qu Ning was also sitting next to them. The Imperial Guards surrounded the Yaqian Hall.

"Why did you become the emperor? My father really thinks I have become better? But I already think it's good to be a king. Why do you want me to be the emperor? Is no one else competent?" Su Yan murmured to himself. He originally wanted to ask Liu Yu what was going on.

At this time, his master Liu Yu had no time to pay attention to him and was arguing with right prime minister Yuan Bolang.

"Commander Liu, what do you mean? Why don't you allow me to go out for funerals?" Yuan Bolang asked aggressively.

Liu Yu said sternly: "Secretary Yuan, the new emperor has not yet officially ascended the throne, and the situation in Chang'an is not stable. Are you trying to cause chaos in the court now? Chang'an City is not at peace?"

Yuan Bolang paid attention to etiquette and law, especially the national rituals such as the emperor's ascension to the throne. But he knew that this kid was exhausted by him and did not accept his opinion at all. He had his own set.

"What does Commander Liu mean?"

"I think all court officials should gather together, and the new emperor ascends the throne, and the emperor will die at the same time!"

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

"That general is sorry!" Liu Yu waved his hand, and Yang Lie walked towards 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, "I am grateful to the prime minister and the subordinates are ordered to do things."

Yuan Bolang threatened Yang Lie while making words, but was carried to the chair beside Qu Ning by the guards, and was pressed tightly on the chair by the guards. Yuan Bolang finally compromised and said, "Can I not fight anymore? Let go of my hand, I will sit, I don't need you to help!" Yang Lie then asked the guard to let go of his hand, but he still stared at him vigilantly.

The Yaqian Hall was very quiet, and even the palace maids did not dare to cry. Liu Yu stood at the entrance of the hall, waiting for the news from outside the palace.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, the first thing he had to control was the military power inside and outside Chang'an City. In addition, he also summoned the princes and princes and civil and military ministers to prevent them from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.

Most princes and princesses entered the palace one after another, while the civil and military minister Liu Yu did not rush to summon him to prevent some people from sniffing the wind and causing trouble. Everything seemed to be like the emperor was going to ask for funerals on his deathbed. As long as the prince and princess were controlled, even if someone wanted to cause trouble, there was no trust. As for the seventh prince Su Yan, who worried him the most, he had sent spies from the Imperial Guard to intercept him, escort him in name, and actually escort him to Chang'an.

The fourth princess and his wife entered the palace first, and the sixth prince and the eighth prince and others also came in one after another, but the only one was missing the fourth prince Su Ren. The King of Jin can be said to be the most powerful prince in Chang'an City who competed for the throne with Su Yan. Liu Yu was afraid that something would happen.

Seeing that the fourth update passed, Liu Yu and others were impatient and said to Qu Zhu who was standing by: "You take the Five Guards Imperial Guards to the King of Jin's Mansion, and even if you tie him up, you must tie him up. If you resist, you will be killed!"

Liu Yu estimated that Xu Xuanzhu should have taken the guards out of the city, and then said to the left commander Zhang Ye: "Take the imperial order and issue an edict to the city gates to block the city gates. Only the Yunan Gate will be opened. This is a handwritten letter from this commander, and you will bring it to the Yunan Gate Defense Department Li Duwei!"

Qu Zhu and Zhang Ye took orders one after another and left.

The night gradually faded. At dawn, Qu Zhu hurriedly brought people to repay him, saying that King Su Ren of Jin led his generals to kill a guard and invited the imperial guards who were not prepared in advance. Before the city of Chang'an City closed the city gate, he went to the direction of Chang'an Beiying, that is, Dongshui Camp outside the city.

"Bastard!" Liu Yu cursed angrily, blamed himself for being careless and did not explain to the guards who left early. Now that even if the tiger returns to the mountain, it is difficult to catch him again. He originally wanted to lead you into the trap, but he didn't expect that before the prey entered the trap, he escaped first.

Liu Yu remembered that Liu Chengjin, the general of the orthodox leader of the Dongshui Camp, was the old subordinate of the fourth prince. If Su Ren was hooked up, although the Dongshui Camp's more than 10,000 troops would not have broken through Chang'an City, it would be possible to set up another mountain.

Now that the city gate is closed, there is no need to hide it from the ministers. Liu Yu ordered to go to the Six Defense Departments in the city to pass on orders. After everything was arranged, he began to issue a court meeting edict, ordering the ministers to enter the palace.

After a long period of change, Liu Yu originally planned to make Su Yan ascend the throne in public at the Wu court, but the current situation is urgent and Liu Yu cannot make any other considerations. On the one hand, he should arrange the city gate to change defense, which is to prevent the fourth prince's confidant in the city from opening the city gate to welcome the army of Dongshuiying into the city. On the other hand, he should occupy the commanding heights of power and morality and confirm Su Yan's throne.

In recent days, Chang'an City has not been peaceful. The third prince's rebellion has just subsided, followed by the fifth prince. In the past few days, the poisoning case has been heard in the palace. It has been panic. Now the inner and outer city gates of Chang'an City have been closed again, which has caused many speculations. Although the ministers are worried, the news in the palace has been covered up very tightly, especially the series of actions of the Imperial Guards, which has made no words outside the palace.

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

Although this time it was abnormally normal, it was not a major dynasty meeting with storms all over the city. It was just an ordinary dynasty meeting. The specifications were not large, but the ministers summoned were all real power factions in Chang'an City. Even the ministers of the Ministry of War who did not participate in the discussion of politics were summoned.

Seeing the sun rising, the ministers had basically gathered at Fengcui Palace. Liu Yu ordered the closing of the south gate of the palace while preparing to accompany Su Yan. At this moment, the guards came to report that the national teacher was asking for a meeting outside the courtyard.

Liu Yu was puzzled why Wu You looked for him at this critical moment. But some of Wu You's predictions were accurate and he was also very scheming. Liu Yu thought it would be okay to see him first.

Wu You was waiting at the gate of the yard. When he saw Liu Yu, he came over and asked, "Is the emperor's Bintian?"

Liu Yu glanced at him and did not answer. Wu Youxu said, "You don't need to explain some things clearly. I'll ask you, can you find the Minister of Rites?"

"It should be here." Liu Yu said.

"What should be here?" Wu You said angrily, "Young man wants to remind you that it is not easy for the Minister of Rites Qian Hui. Be careful that he took advantage of the loopholes and let the cooked duck fly!"

Liu Yu was afraid of making mistakes in some joints, so he said to Qu Zhu without asking about the reason for his love: "You take a little eunuch to Fengcui Palace to summon the Minister of Rites, and then you say that the emperor summoned him!"

Qu Zhu left, Liu Yucai asked the reason, but Wu You seemed to have not heard of it, just didn't say it.

"Emperor Bintian, how much etiquette do you know for passing the throne in the will?" Wu You asked after a while of silence.

Liu Yu was in trouble, and he really didn't know about this. However, he still didn't think there were major problems during this period.

"With the right prime minister Yuan Bolang, he has been the Minister of Rites before, so there will be no problem, right?"

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

Liu Yu was speechless immediately. Thinking about it, he had been singing a solo show since last night. Not to mention Yuan Bolang, he didn't even ask the new emperor Su Yan's opinion.

"I think I am fully prepared, but I make mistakes from time to time. After all, you should not be the one who presides over the national funeral, a commander of the imperial guards. It is still time for you to repent!"

Although Liu Yu didn't quite understand the difference between being hosted by him or being hosted by the right prime minister, he instinctively realized that Wu You's reminder made sense.

Liu Yu was about to take Wu You into the front hall of Yaya to apologize to Yuan Bolang, when Qu Zhu hurried over and said in Liu Yu's ear: "Qian Hui, Minister of Rites, is missing."

"Missing?" Liu Yu was shocked, "When did it happen?"

"There are still people who saw him at the gate of the palace, but no one has seen him enter the palace. He may have been hiding in the city." Qu Zhu said.

Liu Yu finally understood Wu You's concern. No matter how big a minister of the Ministry of Rites could make, the new emperor ascended the throne was full of troubles. He did sigh for a moment. He did have some tricks when it comes to playing tricks. But when it comes to the inheritance of the country's important weapons, he was simply an outsider.

"I know something is wrong?" Wu You sneered, "Don't you think you have hired one less person?"

"Who?" Liu Yu asked.

"What do you think? Why don't you ask him at this time when you come in and out with Mr. Han on weekdays?"

Liu Yu finally realized that he had been uneasy and could not find the reason. It turned out to be Han Sheng's problem. If the other ministers didn't know who the successor was, Han Sheng knew earlier than he knew. And the old friend's visit and exit were almost synchronized on weekdays, and he was also a relative, but he didn't invite him to come at this critical moment.

Although he was a relative, if Han Sheng knew that he had tampered with the edict, he would not know whether Old Man Han would destroy his relatives for justice.

"Is it time now?" Liu Yu asked hurriedly.
