Chapter 436: Self-editing, self-directing and self-acting (Part 2)

Just as Su Bi was thinking about the extremely harsh situation of Liu Yu's return to the court, Liu Yu, who was in the National Inn, was also actively preparing for his return to the court.

First of all, the conditions for the rebels to the court and the court's knowledge of his "whereabouts" were a scene written, directed and acted by him. The purpose was to make Su Yan feel that he was standing on the side of the court and not joining the side of the rebels. Now what Liu Yusuo wants is the "understanding" of the court. The two sides reached a "memorandum of understanding". Liu Yu used the condition of helping the court regain military power in exchange for the court's immunity to himself and many military generals in the army who participated in the "rebellion".

What Liu Yu thought was that by then he would really be able to get out of the intrigues of the officialdom and find a place to spend the rest of his life with his beautiful wife and concubine.

Liu Yu is also working hard for this goal.

Su Yan's re-enablement of Su Yi and Li Mi was a signal of showing goodwill to him. Liu Yu couldn't expect that Su Yan, who was at the end of his life, would not accept his help. It was a matter of no loss. Liu Yu helped Su Yan pacify the world, and now he has helped to purify the troubles of powerful ministers in the court. After returning to Su Yan, he should thank him, but Liu Yu also had some unoptimistic places when he was optimistic. Su Yan's growth did exceed his expectations. It was not Su Yan's growth in his country's governance strategy, but Su Yan's suspicion of people and his sensitivity to government figures. At this time, Su Yan made Liu Yu feel more and more crisis.

No matter what, Liu Yu has now had a comprehensive plan, reconciled with Su Yan, returned to the court to help solve the rebel problem, and resigned from Chang'an City to live his own life. Liu Yu even made plans for his future life. He was preparing to spend the second half of his life in the wealthy land of Jiangnan. The climate in Jiangnan was mild and pleasant, and the land and water raised the beauty. Liu Yu felt a little expectant when he thought about it.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, on the afternoon of the day when Cao Jie returned to Chang'an City, the Jingzhao Prefecture and the Liufangsi Office received the emperor's order to stop the search of Liu Yu, which means that Liu Yu is no longer a guilty person. In fact, Jingzhao Prefecture and the Liufangsi had already stopped the search these days at the end of the year. Because Liu Yu was too hidden, they could not search at all.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, when Liu Yu still did not show up, the court suddenly posted a list of articles, announcing that he would award the vanguard general Wuyihou, the "first-class minister" who pacified the Turks this time. Liu Yu was directly promoted to "King of Changye". Liu Yu was also extremely surprised and got the news inexplicably, and he was so crowned as king?

Some jokes also made Liu Yu feel unreasonable. He was ready to approach Su Yan on his own initiative. He did not expect that Su Yan was even more urgent at this time and showed goodwill to him in such a special way. The court's quotation also rewarded the other two military generals who had made contributions this time. Sui Yi was named the Marquis of Dongying, and Li Mi was named the Marquis of Anxiao. In addition, the other meritorious ministers who had not yet returned to the court were not so lucky. The quotation did not mention any of the generals who were still in the rebels.

The court was named king, and it was the king of the opposite sex. This was the second time after the founding of the Dashun Dynasty. The first time was that when the Shun Dynasty was founded, the general Yun Zhou was appointed as the prince. As a result, Yun Zhou was inexplicably poisoned to death six years later, and his descendants were also liquidated by the court. It was also a major purge when the court founded, which was a civil strife. Liu Yu had heard of it for so long.

This time, Liu Yu said that he would have made more contributions than Yun Zhou at the time. After all, Yun Zhou helped the founding of the Shun Chaozu Emperor, and Liu Yu helped the Shun Chao pacify the world. This contribution is just that. It is almost every dynasty and every generation are doing to combat the Turks. This made Liu Yu feel that his king was "deserved of" and was somewhat unreasonable.

The imperial court's reward was considered a "farce" by most court officials. Liu Yu was named king, but there was no increase in fiefdom and salary, so these were not mentioned at all. In other words, Liu Yu only had the title of a king, and he was still in a "missing" state. The court made such an arrangement and explained its position to the rebels to demonstrate. They did not believe that Liu Yu really dared to come out to accept the imperial court's reward this time.

But "Liu Yu" still appeared.

When Su Bi learned that "Liu Yu" had been rewarded, she entered the palace in a hurry and entered the palace. She thought that Liu Wenyan could not escape this time. At first, she thought that even if she was trying to do something wrong, she would have to kill Liu Yu first. Since she became the minister of the regent, she felt that the new emperor's dependence on Liu Yu was too strong, and she was very angry to kill Liu Yu to a large extent.

But after entering the palace, she calmed down a little. Since Liu Yu came back to accept the reward and promised to help the court to quell the rebellion of the rebels, why not use him first and wait until everything stabilizes before killing? Although the latter may be beneficial to the court's usual rebellion, it is definitely not beneficial to the court and the Su family's dynasty. She knew very well Liu Yu's methods. The only result of Liu Yu's ability to quell the rebellion was that he would regain military power. At that time, the court would only deal with Liu Wenyan, who had changed from a wolf Huaji'an to a tiger. The result of the court's attempt to use Liu Yu was probably to return to the mountain.

Su Bi entered the palace with complex emotions and went straight to Fengcui Palace, which was being held in the enthronement hall. She was about to see how Liu Wenyan lived during the escape these days, and was preparing to mock him for a few words to show off in front of him. When she arrived at Fengcui Palace, she realized that it was not Liu Yu who came at all, but a "stand-in-one" who looked a bit like Liu Yu.

"What the hell is going on?"

Su Bi looked at a "farce" that was being staged in Fengcui Palace, and asked Lan He who was silent.

Lan He smiled helplessly, and he didn't understand the play. Although many ministers were not familiar with Liu Wenyan, they also recognized that this was not Liu Wenyan at all. They found a fake substitute to accept the gift of being the king on behalf of Liu Wenyan, so that the court officials were guessing the emperor's intention.

Didn’t the emperor want to make aside his past grudges with Liu Wenyan Bing, but just wanted to use this ceremony to make Liu Wenyan have no appeal among the rebels and make Liu Wenyan not human on both sides?

The ceremony lasted for more than half an hour. At the end of the first half, there was a second half of sacrifice to the sky, but it started to snow outside and the weather was still very cold. This second half could only be left to be done in the future. After all, finding a fake prince to sacrifice to the sky would make people feel that this matter was too hypocritical. Even the court, who was open and honest in everything, was playing this trick, which made every minister feel a little weird.

What exactly does the emperor want to do?

When the farce was over, Su Bi finally had the opportunity to go up and ask Su Yan what it meant to do so. Su Bi was still a little happy. It seems that Su Yan didn't really want to make peace with Liu Yu. It can be seen from today's incident, otherwise Su Yan could have waited until Liu Yu comes back before performing the ceremony.

Who knew that Su Yan had a bitter face and said, "Fourth Emperor Sister, today's... is really not my idea. It's the master. He found someone to act in this play. I am a supporting role, and I don't know what the master is going to do!"
