Chapter 444: The Third Round (Part 2)

Su Yan and Su Bi both believed that as long as Hua Ji'an was brought back to Chang'an City, it would be equivalent to completely lifting the threat of the rebels. The snake was headless. Even when Su Bi learned that Qi Fang was not among the generals of Chang'an City, she could not have expected that Qi Fang, who had always seemed honest, would dare to rebel openly and lead troops to siege Chang'an City.

"Fourth Emperor Sister, this matter is too serious. Otherwise, go to Fengcui Palace to discuss with the ministers first and see if they can come up with an idea?" Su Yan showed his own panic at such an urgent moment. The nightmare he had been having was finally fulfilled today. When the rebels are really coming, how can he sit still?

Su Bi said anxiously: "When is it now? You are in a hurry. Go and discuss with them what the result will be. Your Majesty should not forget that Chang'an City is not a small city in Xuzhou. Even if it is Xuzhou City, then the army of the King of Rebellion has not been defeated for two months? The Emperor really doesn't have to be too anxious."

What Su Yan didn't want to recall the most was the bleak time in Xuzhou City. At this time, Su Bi compared Chang'an City with Xuzhou City. Su Yan looked gray and said, "Come again?"

Su Bi was slightly stunned and couldn't understand Su Yan's meaning. Su Yan's true meaning was to let me trap the lonely city and be a puppet emperor?

Su Bi said: "I will send someone to persuade Qi Fang to surrender. Qi Fang's old mother is still in Chang'an City and his fiancée. He is just an ordinary general under Liu Wenyan. He is probably bewitched by Hua Ji'an. As long as he declares the righteousness to him, he will definitely surrender!"

Su Yan murmured, "Don't surrender, just withdraw his troops. Fourth Emperor Sister, why don't you discuss it with the master!"

Su Bi was almost crazy. Su Yan had not forgotten Liu Wenyan at this time.

"It's useless. I've killed him!" Su Bi said angrily.

"Ah?" Su Yan was stunned when he heard this. He immediately collapsed on the ground, looking unbelievable, "Fourth Emperor Sister...you...you really killed...the master?"

Su Bi pulled Su Yan, but Su Yan couldn't get up. Su Bi had to tell the truth: "I just took down the person, not waiting for your order from the emperor."

"That's good, that's good!" Su Yan barely got up from the ground, but his legs immediately became weak again.

Because Su Bi followed a sentence: "If you want to completely quell the trouble, then Liu Wenyan must be killed!"

Su Yan squatted on the ground, trembling like a little beggar, and he was still muttering to himself: "Why do you... hate the master so much?"

Su Bi asked with some confusion: "Who told the emperor?"

"No one." Su Yan looked depressed, "Fourth Emperor Sister, what do you want me to do?"

Su Bi thought to herself that it was finally time for me to appear. Now civil officials and military generals are either under house arrest in Fengcui Palace, or they are responsible for their own responsibilities, and everything is just waiting for her to tie the emperor to make suggestions to turn the tide. Su Bi felt like she was the lord of a country for the first time.

"The emperor will send someone to persuade Qi Fang to surrender."

"who?"

Su Bi thought about it. There were no people around her, but she quickly thought of Chai Jin. This should be trustworthy and reliable in doing things. The most important thing is that Chai Jin is her husband. If everything is pacified, it will be a great achievement.

"If you choose a virtuous person, you will not avoid relatives, so the emperor will send his concubine's son-in-law to go."

"Okay, let's go to Prince Chai, Eunuch Wu, you can help me draft an edict immediately... No, it's a letter of persuasion, just write it according to the wishes of the Fourth Emperor Sister."

Su Bi was in high spirits and gave Eunuch Wu an order. Eunuch Wu's hands holding the pen were trembling. While writing, Chai Jin was also called by the guards. When Chai Jin held the letter of persuading surrender, his hands were trembling even more violently.

"If you don't succeed, you will be kind. The prince consort, take care of yourself all the way!" Su Bi looked at her husband with confidence, but Chai Jin felt that Su Bi was going to push him to death.

"I...I...I...I'll go..." Chai Jin was so nervous that he couldn't speak clearly. He took the letter of surrender and walked out of the gate of Yaqian Hall in three steps.

Su Yan was still anxious when he was there, and Su Bi continued to ask for instructions: "Please immediately give orders to behead the rebels' heads and the crimes of the rebels."

"Who is killed? Marquis Wuyi? Or Hua Ji'an? It's already evening now, how can you show it to the public?"

Su Bi said with a fierce look on her face: "Behead the head in front of Fengcui Palace, so that the ministers can see the fate of their daring to be enemies with the court."

Su Yan was completely panicked now. Not only did he ask him to order Liu Yu to behead him, but he also had to be in front of all civil and military officials. He would never dare to do this before, but today he had no choice. He discussed with Cao Yi before, and Cao Yi's answer to him was basically the same. As long as Liu Wenyan was beheaded, all the problems would be solved.

Su Bi is more about trying to stabilize her position and seeking revenge, while Cao Yi is about matters.

Cao Yi knew that Liu Yu's current status in the rebels was as high as ever, and everything was made by Liu Yu, but she couldn't understand what Liu Yu's situation was. But she also knew that as long as Liu Yu died, everything would be solved, because Liu Yu's situation would definitely not include his own death. Su Bi didn't know that Liu Yu still had full control of the three armies now. She only knew that the commander of the three armies was Hua Ji'an. She proposed to kill Hua Ji'an to stabilize the court, while killing Liu Yu was purely to vent his personal anger and consolidate his position in the court.

"Prince, please issue an order."

"Then...then, let's do it for the Fourth Emperor's...!"

Asking Su Yan to personally order Su Yan was a bit cruel. Su Yan chose to continue to watch the wall, which was equivalent to handing over the power of life and death to Su Bi. Su Bi was not polite, and immediately drafted an imperial edict on behalf of Tian, ​​complaining about the ambition of military generals' treason, and then convicted them of the crime: if the crime is unforgivable, they will be beheaded and displayed for public display!

After the edict was drafted, Su Bi showed the edict to Su Yan. Su Yan just glanced at it and waved his hand and said, "That's it."

Then let Eunuch Wu use the jade seal and his hand seal. Such an edict to kill the meritorious generals was completed.

"Eunuch Wu, I'll have to worry about you." Su Bi said to Eunuch Wu, "Please hand over the edict to Commander Qu of the Imperial Army in person. He should know what to do."

Eunuch Wu was shaking his hand with the edict. He was a slave for life. Although he sometimes expressed a little bit of a secret opinion on the court, he had never done any major matters involving the safety of the royal family. Now the edict that killed the generals actually asked him to send him to the public. He felt like he was being held by a knife with his neck and had to move his head at any time.

"Eunuch Wu, what are you waiting for?" Su Bi's face became sluggish when she saw that Eunuch Wu was weak.

"Old slave...go now...go now..."

Eunuch Wu took the edict and walked out of Yaqian Hall in a short walk, and called a few eunuchs and the Imperial Guards to follow him towards the direction of the palace's main courtyard.

At this time, Su Yan was sitting cross-legged on the small kang in the Yaqian Hall, and he seemed to be trembling alone.

"Your Majesty is okay?" Su Bi asked with great concern.
