Chapter 443 The third round (1)

The fifth night of the first lunar month is destined to be a sleepless night. When it was almost midnight, Chai Jin, the Marquis of Linqing, hurried into the palace to invite the emperor. After that, Chai Jin entered the Yaqian Hall and participated in the important discussions in the Yaqian Hall. As soon as he arrived at the middle of the night, several people hurried out from the palace and headed towards several directions of Chang'an City.

Su Bi and Chai Jin and his wife were among the group who went to the Ministry of War. Su Bi was still a little relieved about Chai Jin's sudden "awakening". Her husband did not return to his house to be a turtle with his head, but chose to fight side by side with her on such a special night. It might be that Chai Jin was enlightened, but she still couldn't figure out why she was enlightened.

"Do you know everything if I listen to you?" Finally, Su Bi explained to Chai Jin again, and then Su Bi explained to some officials of the Ministry of War.

The entire defense adjustment in the city was focused on the direction of the south gate of the city. At the same time, Su Bi and Chai Jin rushed to the south gate of the south gate of the city without stopping, climbed the city tower, and prepared for the ceremony to welcome the rebel generals to enter the city.

The ceremony was very simple. After confirming that there were no ambush outside the city, the city gate was opened and a small number of generals were welcomed. Someone would be sent to the palace, namely the Marquis of Wuyi, Liu Yu, who would accompany Liu Yu and Hua Ji'an and other military generals into the palace and then to Yaqian Hall.

This is what Su Yan arranged for her task in this plan.

As for the control of military power after Huaji'an and other military generals entered the city, Su Yan also sent other people to rush into the military camp 200 miles away from the city. Huaji'an and Liu Yu and other generals separated from the army, and then ordered the imperial edict, and then the dust would be settled and all the troubles would be solved at one time.

The torches on the Yunan Gate Tower were brightly illuminated, and more than 3,000 soldiers and horses from the two camps of Chang'an City and part of the Imperial Guards were waiting for her dispatch. Su Bi was still very confident in herself. Especially her husband Chai Jin was still supporting her, which made her feel more at ease. From afar, Su Bi saw a small team of cavalry coming from the city to the Yunan Gate, and soon a guard came up to report that it was Liu Yu, the Marquis of Wuyi, and his wife.

"It's finally here."

Su Bi hasn't seen Liu Yu for a long time. This time she personally welcomed the city tower and met Liu Yu and Xu Xuanzhu. Liu Yu looked much clearer and was too thin and seemed to be sick. Facing Su Bi's greetings, Xu Xuanzhu didn't say anything, but Liu Yu just showed a very reluctant smile and exchanged a few greetings. The couple went up to the city tower with Su Bi and his wife, waiting for news outside the city together.

Soon, the horses came outside the city to report that the military generals were already waiting five miles outside the city, and they would enter the city just by waiting for the emperor's imperial edict.

Su Bi should have gone to announce the edict in person, but she wanted to watch Liu Yu, and she could not let Liu Yu leave the city to prevent Liu Yu from escaping from Chang'an City. Su Bi handed over the imperial edict and transfer order to officials of the Ministry of War to read it out. Finally, she thought about it and asked Chai Jin to go with her.

After another half an hour, a team of cavalry approached outside the city. When they arrived at the city gate, they reported that it was Chai Jin and the officials of the Ministry of War, Hua Ji'an and some military generals.

Su Bi felt a little calm, and it seemed that nothing went wrong. As the city gate opened, Su Bi's mood also rose again. It was time to decide success or failure. She was also afraid of something, but until the team of cavalry entered the city and after the city gate was closed, everything was calm and there was no turmoil.

"Cough cough." Liu Yu coughed twice, as if he couldn't resist the wind and cold. "Your Highness Xinzhujun, should you go to see the emperor?"

"No hurry, let's tell me if I'm talking about it."

Su Bi's face was full of a striking momentum, and she went down the city tower first. When she arrived at the city gate, she saw a man who had caused great headaches for the past six months, and a man who made her hate her teeth. Hua Ji'an was just a man in his thirties who looked very ordinary. He could not be handsome or ugly, but Su Bi had the urge to go up and peel him off.

"Is there anything wrong?" Su Bi was not sure whether this was Hua Ji'an, because she had never seen her before, so she had to verify that other officials from the Ministry of War. Other officials from the Ministry of War went up to check carefully and gave a positive answer. Su Bi was relieved.

As for the other generals around Hua Ji'an, Su Bi basically knew each other, including the fierce general Huo Bing, Liu Yu's confidant general Zhang Wuzhu, deputy commander He Mao, and some generals of the border army. These were basically all the meritorious ministers of the Dashun Dynasty to pacify the Turks, but Su Bi did not see Qi Fang in it. Su Bi frowned slightly.

"Why is General Yunjin not on the list?" Su Bi asked.

At this time, Hua Ji'an had already jumped off his horse, welcomed him respectfully, and clasped his fists and said, "General Qi stayed to coordinate the three armies..."

Su Bi felt something was wrong in his heart. Although Liu Wenyan and Hua Ji'an, the two commanders of the three armies, were already here, and there was not much more Qi Fang, and he didn't expect that he would not be able to stir up trouble, since it was a surrender ceremony for military generals, any troubles must be avoided.

But Su Bi had no other way now. While Hua Ji'an and others entered the city, the team of meritorious veterans sent by the court to receive military power had already set off from another city gate on the way to the military camp. At this time, he was struggling with this, so he might as well take Liu Yu and Hua Ji'an to the palace as soon as possible. This was the real "major trouble" of the court.

"General Hua, Marquis of Wuyi, please." Su Bi made a guide gesture and jumped on the horse first.

A team of people headed towards the palace with the imperial guards escorted along the way. Su Bi was still very at ease. The sword hanging over the head of the court for a long time was finally resolved at one time. After tonight, the power of the court will be reshuffled, and there will be no more powerful generals who can control military power in the future. She will become the strong minister around the new emperor, and no one can threaten her status.

When they arrived at the main gate of the palace, the Imperial Guards were about to fight and were waiting at the palace gate. Qu Zhu, as the commander of the Imperial Guards, came out to greet them with the imperial edict.

Su Bi and Liu Yuhua and Ji'an dismounted to receive the imperial edict. The imperial edict read by Qu Zhu was not complicated, but only let the generals go to the palace to meet the emperor together.

"Don't take the guards," Su Bi said, pointing to the group of about thirty or forty guards behind the generals.

This time, the military generals led the city into the city. In addition to fifty or sixty middle and high-level generals, they also brought a team of about forty guards. Su Bi didn't want these people to get close to the palace because they were afraid of the trouble. Su Bi was also watching Hua Ji'an's reaction.

Hua Ji'an seemed to have predicted that he was already a bird in a cage and did not resist and agreed to enter the palace first. As soon as the generals entered the palace, the palace gate was closed. General Zhongzheng looked a little uneasy, and Su Bi had already taken out another imperial edict from his arms.

"Your Highness Xinzhujun, what's your intention?" Some generals looked at Su Bi uneasy and questioned.

Su Bi sneered on her face: "Don't panic, your Majesty is forced to make such arrangements. You are all meritorious ministers of the court, but you are also military generals with heavy troops. Now hand over your military talismans and then follow the palace to meet Your Majesty."

If it was just a military talisman, these generals would not have any special resistance. However, the military talisman was given by the emperor and should be returned in front of the emperor. This is the rule of the Dashun Dynasty. Although Su Bi was holding an imperial edict in her hand, she did not read it. No one knew whether the military talisman was the imperial edict or Su Bi's personal opinion. If it was the latter, it was not ruled out that Su Bi had the possibility of self-respecting his troops.

"Take it."

The generals did not comment, and Hua Ji'an, who was leading the charge, had already sent a message. Hua Ji'an took out the seal of the commander of the three armies and handed it forward. He was taken away by Su Bi's accompanying guards. The other generals had to take out their respective military talismans and seals, and they were "confiscated" one by one.

When Su Bi saw all the seals, she seemed to feel completely relieved and ordered to the Imperial Guard: "Take these thieves!"

Su Bi suddenly turned his back on his face, which surprised the border generals who were originally going to come to invite rewards. The Imperial Guard rushed forward and took everyone down. Even Liu Yu and his wife and Hua Ji'an were no exception. Compared with the huge resistance of the middle and senior generals of the border army, Liu Yu and his wife and Hua Ji'an seemed to have expected the result today, and their faces were more calm about Su Bi's arrogant and their faces. Just as Su Bi wanted to make further instructions, a few teams of people rushed over to the Yaqian Palace. The head was not someone else, but the eunuch Wu, the closest eunuch, beside the emperor.

"His Highness Xinzhujun, keep people behind him and keep people behind him."

Eunuch Wu came in a hurry and said a few words in Su Bi's ear. Su Bi looked shocked and said something puzzling: "Is that true?"

As he said that, Su Bi hurriedly seemed to be heading towards the Yaqian Palace, and the five large and thick border generals behind Su Bi were already asking loudly: "Fourth Princess, what do you mean? Where are you going to take them!"

Only then did Su Bi remember that there were still these people. The matter was so urgent that she almost "forgot" these big troubles.

Su Bi ordered the Imperial Guards: "Preserve them in place, and do not accept the imperial edict or the orders of our palace, and do not deal with them without permission."

The Imperial Army Commander Qu Zhu respectfully accepted the order. Su Bi glanced at him and thought about it but did not ask him to go to Yaqian Hall together. Instead, she followed Eunuch Wu to the Yaqian Hall alone, and even Chai Jin was thrown away by her.

When he arrived at Yaqian Hall, Su Yan was already like an ant on a hot pan, walking back and forth in Yaqian Hall with his hands on his back. When he saw Su Bi coming in, Su Yan immediately went up and grabbed Su Bi's arm and said, "Sister Four, please tell me quickly...what should I do?"

Su Bi was a little surprised that there were no one else in the Yaqian Palace. After a moment of enlightenment, she remembered that most of the civil and military officials and generals were placed under house arrest by Su Yan in Fengcui Palace. Su Yan's other confidants had been assigned to various places in Chang'an City to guard important positions, and there was no time to come here at this time.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to panic, there is always a solution to the matter."

Originally, all major events were about to be done, and Su Bi did not expect a sudden change. The military's senior generals entered Chang'an City, but the army still rebelled. At this time, the 70,000 troops of the court suddenly spread outside Chang'an City and would attack Chang'an City at any time. (To be continued...)
