The military suddenly beheaded Yuan Bolang, and the originally balanced situation was immediately broken. A bowl of water fell on a stone, breaking the calm.

The court immediately held an emergency military meeting overnight. Although the incident was not publicly classified as a rebellion, in fact, everyone in the court thought so. However, Liu Yu still did not attend this meeting. At the same time, Xu Xuanzhu, the head commander of the female army, was not invited to attend. The relationship between Su Yan and Liu Yu became tense again.

On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, on the third day when Yuan Bolang was killed by the military, the court issued a petty horse order to the military camp outside Tongguan to prohibit the army from passing through Tongguan and entering Guanzhong. At the same time, inside and outside Tongguan were tense, and the company was galloping back and forth between the inside and outside Chang'an City for several days, which seemed to make people feel that the court was about to start a war again.

In the past two years, the Shunchao court, which has the political center of Chang'an City, will win every battle and win a complete victory has become the designated action of the conference. The people felt that the court could still win this time, but they did not know that the enemy the court had to face this time were the soldiers who helped the court make achievements, and those were the soldiers of the people of Guanzhong.

If the people knew about each other, they would not accept it. They were still hoping that the men who went on war would come back to reunite with them before the New Year. But the court had obviously blocked this path to reunion.

Hua Ji'an became a figure at the forefront of the court. As a general of the border army, he publicly usurped power and became the commander of the three armies of the court. He also ignored the laws of the court and killed Yuan Bolang, the old minister of the court, which was equivalent to putting Shunchao on the brink of civil strife. As the person involved in this matter, Hua Ji'an actually seemed very innocent. Because he was just a man who was ordered, and at this time he was no longer the commander, and even the position of deputy commander was empty. The border army of the court has now been completely controlled by Liu Yu. And it was not Hua Ji'an who tied up Liu Yu to take care of the entire army, but Qi Fang.

Yuan Bolang was killed, which was also instructed by Liu Yu.

The reason why Liu Yu wanted to kill Yuan Bolang started with the gradual infiltration of military spies into Chang'an City.

Liu Yu seemed to have put everything in his hands. Even the military and political affairs were stolen by Hua Ji'an. He was like an idle person in Chang'an City. But Liu Yu's way of controlling power was very unique, that is, the "remote control" mode, and the remote control that Liu Yu relied on was the transmission system of the female army and Huo Bing's headquarters. Liu Yu's decision would be conveyed to the border army through these channels as soon as possible, and Qi would make arrangements.

Hua Ji'an showed his wisdom on this point. He had no complaints and even gave up his power. Because he knew that Liu Yu's prestige against the border army was beyond his reach. At present, only Liu Yu can resolve the conflict between the military and the court. He can also ensure that the military personnel are not liquidated by the court.

The first thing that the military spies entered Chang'an City was that the court was currently targeting Liu Yu's enemies. Most of these spies were mixed among merchants traveling to Chang'an City from all over the country, and a large part of them were mixed in business travelers in Huai. Because Liu Yu was a northerner, no one would suspect that there were military spies hidden among the Huai people. In fact, most of the spies Liu Yu called this time were also native to Huai people. After investigation, Liu Yu soon discovered that the reason why Yang Lie's intelligence system was paralyzed was because Yang Lie had already been involved in the "hostile camp" at this time, which was the first person in Liu Yu's camp to surrender. Yang Lie is a child of a noble family, and Liu Yu also understood that he was loyal to the court. But at the same time, it also made Liu Yu feel that the court was likely to investigate from Yang Lie that he was currently being resigned from his post, and actually still controlled the military power of the three armies.

But the facts just go against it.

Although Yang Lie betrayed, it was obvious that what he surrendered to was not the current emperor, nor the current ruler in the court. Liu Yu could not notice who Yang Lie surrendered to. This made Liu Yu feel extremely pressured, which means that the biggest enemy behind him was probably not Su Bi, Yuan Bolang or even Su Yan whom he was worried about. In helplessness, Liu Yu rushed to recruit the three armies back to Chang'an City.

A battle for the supreme position is likely to have begun in secret.

Liu Yu could not investigate the culprit behind the scenes, but from his speculation, the most likely culprit behind the scenes was Su Zhe, the King of Chu who had always been secret.

After Su Zhe disappeared, he first defected to King Huai, and then disappeared mysteriously. Liu Yu's search for Su Zhe has never stopped, but the resistance he encountered during this period was unexpected. Su Zhe was not alone in confronting the court. There was an organization behind him, and the rigor and scale of this organization exceeded Liu Yu's imagination. Many of the detailed works sent by Liu Yu to investigate the matter were already dead, and they were unknown.

This behind-the-scenes force is probably prepared by the old emperor Su Yunyang for his son's stable ascension to the throne. Although Su Yunyang trusted Liu Yu very much at that time, he obviously left a move. Although Liu Yu helped Su Yan usurp the throne, Liu Yu could not get some information from the behind-the-scenes intelligence system.

The first thing Liu Yu suspected was Han Sheng, the number one figure in the old emperor's intelligence agency.

Although Liu Yu did not want to doubt the people around him, Han Sheng's special identity forced Liu Yu to doubt this old friend.

However, Liu Yu denied Han Sheng after compiling all aspects of the situation. If Su Yunyang wanted to arrange the funeral, it was obvious that there would be no collusion between these people. Liu Yu was the leader of the Imperial Guard Army to ensure Su Zhe took over. Although Han Sheng was the leader of the intelligence agency, he was also Liu Yu's in-laws, and the two were still close friends. Su Yunyang would not ignore their relationship.

Qian Hui, the former Minister of Rites, was actually a breakthrough point. Unfortunately, Liu Yu was too hasty at the beginning and sent the money back to the court in order to stabilize Su Yan's heart. Qian Hui, who was likely to know the details, died early and failed to find more useful news. Liu Yu immediately thought of his second brother Liu Ting. He took the initiative to contact the King of Chu, but later he was abandoned, but he might also know the news.

Unfortunately, when Liu Yu wanted to continue to investigate the clues, he heard from his hometown that Liu Ting "hanged himself" for no reason.

Liu Ting, who is greedy for life and fear of death, will die, which makes Liu Yu extremely uneasy. Liu Yu immediately wants to ease relations with the court and let Su Yan settle his past grudges, but this effort is futile. The court, led by Yuan Bolang and Su Bi, is inciting Su Yan to carry out a major purge on the military to allow the court to gain absolute control of the army.

When Liu Yu saw that since he could not resolve the conflict, he might as well be ruthless and make the enemies behind the scenes think that the court and the military have reached an irreconcilable level.

Liu Yu immediately ordered Yuan Bolang to behead him.

Yuan Bolang was vicious and had been arranging a plan to eliminate Liu Yu for a long time. Although it had not been implemented yet, it was equivalent to Liu Yu defending himself first.
