Chapter 308 The relationship between power and principle

There is no need to pass the King of Shu, nor does it require the confession of the King of Shu. With the confession of the Zhaosu clan and the Prince of Shu, the case was determined to be a strong case.

Liu Yu was ordered to arrest some people at the Shu King's House, mainly involving some counselors of the Shu King. The emperor pardoned Su Xiao, the prince of Shu King who "destroyed his relatives for justice". Wherever Liu Yu went, he did not make too many people at the Shu King's House.

In the Shu King's villa, soldiers came in and out and detained some people related to the case, while some women seemed very nervous. This time, the vassal kings were asked to bring their families into Chang'an City. Many people did not understand why. From now on, the emperor's intention was very obvious. In the future, they moved to Chang'an City and no longer had to leave.

When he saw Liu Yu, Su Xiao, the prince of Shu, who is now in charge of the family, walked forward respectfully and said to Liu Yu: "Marquis Wuyi, please keep your promise and let our family go."

Liu Yu smiled and said, "This is natural. The prince's death of his relatives for justice is a hero of the court. The emperor will let you inherit the throne and be glorified from generation to generation."

Su Xiao sighed, and he also understood that what Liu Yu said was just what the court wanted. It was to seize the military power of the vassal kings so that the vassal kings could not leave Chang'an City. The court first captured the King of Shu with false charges, and then used the confession of Zhaosu to threaten him. In order to protect the King of Shu, he had to obey.

The most important thing about Liu Yu being able to successfully convict the King of Shu this time was to see the cowardice of the second generation of the vassal kings.

This was seen from the first time when Liu Yu came to capture the King of Shu, Su Xiao persuaded his father that the second generation of the Hejian princes, the Zhaosu family, followed by beautiful colors. Liu Yu even saw that after the vassal kings who once seized the vassal land with the Iron Horse Helan Mountain, no longer had the courage to expand their territory. Then they used tricks to play conspiracies, or compromised, and lacked the courage to fight against the court.

In order to have a stable position of himself and his descendants, Su Xiao could even sell his father. Although Su Xiao was forced by Liu Yu, Liu Yu used Zhaosu's confession, he already understood that Liu Yu was cruel and ruthless, and he also knew that the strength of the King of Shu was not as strong as that of King Huai, King Ding and other vassal kings. If he didn't sell his father, he would have to be buried with his father.

But Liu Yu looked down on him a little.

Liu Yu detained all the counselors of the King of Shu without any serious punishment. Liu Yu also knew that this was a frame-up, only confession was required, and no sin was required. Liu Yu stood in the prison cell, and he was very clear. If he was willing to come out to prove that the King of Shu had committed rebellion, then they could get rid of the crime. If they did not follow, they would keep in mind until they understood.

Originally, counselors all value integrity.

Liu Yu's methods were indeed too cruel. With the confession of the prince of Shu, others also understood that their "confession" was the icing on the cake. It was irreversible if they didn't take any trouble, so they were in a dilemma with him. After Liu Yu persuaded him separately, they all expressed their willingness to testify against the King of Shu.

Liu Yu met the emperor with his confession. The emperor convened a new court meeting and made the crimes of the King of Shu to the world. The vassal kings and the vassal lords were in an uproar. The court agreed that the King of Shu was ruthless and gave poison wine. However, the other participants in the ability did not blame the past. Originally, the vassal kings and vassal lords entered Chang'an City to join forces to fight against the court's vassal lords, but they did not expect to pay the life of the King of Shu in such an ending.

The court still did not mention the issue of reducing the vassals, but the other vassal kings and vassal lords also understood that if they continued to stalemate, they would still be the ones who suffered. So after the dynasty was dispersed, they would jointly request the emperor to live in Chang'an City for generations, enjoy the commission taxes of the vassal areas, and no longer return to the vassal areas to take charge of the troops. Liu Yu took the emperor's imperial edict and poison wine to the secret cell and informed the King of Shu for the first time.

When the King of Shu heard the content of the imperial edict, he almost fainted.

He didn't feel anything about being betrayed by his ally's daughter. Even his son was bought by Liu Yu. He felt like he was the end of a hero and smiled bitterly. In the end, he laughed so hard that even tears flowed out.

"Your Highness, King Shu, be mournful and follow the changes." Liu Yu said sarcastic words from the side.

"Sadness? Whose mourning?" King Shu turned to glared at Liu Yu, "Marty Wuyi, Wuyi, who is more vicious than you in the world? Who in this world is more ambition than you?"

Liu Yu touched his face, looking indifferent, as if he was unconscious at all.

"Your Highness, I don't ask for it, and I don't ask for it. If you are wronged, why would the people around you behave?" Liu Yu said innocently, "So, if you have a wrongdoing, you have a debt, don't slander a good person casually!"

The King of Shu wished he could strangle Liu Yu to death, but he knew that this would be of no use. Before entering Chang'an City, he had made great calculations, but he did not think that he would die here.

"I want to see that rebellious son!" King Shu roared.

Liu Yu nodded and said, "The prisoner went to the court and left his head to the death, and asked him to meet his family. This requirement of the King of Shu will naturally allow it."

Liu Yu waved his hand, and Su Xiao, who had been waiting outside, came in with a look of guilt. Liu Yu said, "If you have anything to say, time will not wait for anyone. This marquis will go back and hand in the emperor."

Liu Yu came out and was bored and bored, so he went to see Zhaosu. Zhaosu was still waiting for news at this time. She was afraid that Liu Yu would repent, not only to get rid of the King of Shu, but also to kill them and daughter. He felt that Liu Yu could definitely do it with Liu Yu's style of conduct.

Seeing Liu Yu, Zhaosu hurriedly knelt down to greet him, and was as respectful as if he was treating the king.

"Madam Zhao, don't be so polite." Liu Yu said coldly, but did not go to help Zhao Su and sit down on the chair.

Zhao Su did not dare to get up and said, "Marty, did the emperor have the will to come down?"

"Yes." Liu Yu said, "The emperor issued an order to give Shu King poisoned wine, and the others... will not blame him."

Zhao Su breathed a little relieved, but asked cautiously: "Then I and my daughter."

"Don't worry, Mrs. Zhao, I will do what I say. Mrs. and Ling Yuan will be able to return home tomorrow. The emperor is also planning to let Mrs. You become the prince of Hejian County Prince. In the future, you will be ministers to the same court. We must check each other. If you are disrespectful, who is the lady of Haihan!"

When Zhaosu heard Liu Yu's tone, he felt that his tone was wrong. He was so scared that he didn't dare to raise his head and said, "I dare not blame the Marquis."

Liu Yu did not continue to make things difficult for Zhao Su family, so he stood up and went back to the Shu King's cell. At this time, the Shu King had already made a dying explanation to his son. When Su Xiao went out, two slap marks were clearly printed on his face. It was obvious that the Shu King was angry. But Liu Yu also knew that the Shu King's aura was useless now, and more importantly, he explained some things, involving the development of the family.

Liu Yu left in name but did not eavesdrop, but he still made people secretly inquire about the conversation between the father and son.

Liu Yu thought the King of Shu had something to say to him and criticized him again, but when Liu Yu entered the door, the King of Shu had already drank poisonous wine, as if he had fallen into a coma, and he was lying on the table and couldn't afford it.

"If you have no principles for power, who can you blame me?" Liu Yu sighed helplessly in the end. (To be continued.)
