On the second day of the winter moon, at night, the outer city of Chang'an City had fallen into tranquility. In an ordinary official office in the outer city of Chang'an City, Su Yan's family of three had dinner and lit a candle to sit together. Su Yan'er was happy and was very happy.

"Xiaoyu, after we moved out of Chang'an City, we will build him a large room and a large bed, so that no matter how he rolls on it, he will not be afraid of falling off." Su Yan and Xiaoyu have such a happy and warm time. When he talks, he is also looking forward to the future.

After Su Yan became emperor, there were many concubines, but on the night of Liu Yu's coup, most of his concubines were lost at that time because of chaos in the palace. Even if they were found later, they were all imposed by Liu Yu's original hometown. At this time, Su Yan was left with the original queen Sun Xiaoyu.

After Xiaoyu packed up the dinner, she also took out a bag, which contained items for babies, and just had half a bag. The imperial edict from the Nanwang Jufu was issued, and after she was ready in the past few days, she would go to the vassal state of Shandong, Bohai, with Su Yan. In the past few days, Xiaoyu had already returned to and from here to the Ninth Prince's Mansion and packed up a lot of things. She also planned to take some maids from the Ninth Prince's Mansion to the Vatican together. During the days when Su Yan was missing, Xiaoyu was no longer the weak girl. She had gradually learned how to host a house.

Seeing Su Yan holding her son and having fun there like a big child, Xiaoyu went inside to pack up her things. As she left, a black shadow suddenly flashed outside. Su Yan suddenly looked outside curiously, thinking that the guards outside had come in.

"Maid Song, is it you?" Su Yan asked.

After he returned to Chang'an City, he insisted on not going back to the inner city's Ninth Prince's Mansion. Instead, he wanted to stay in the outer city. At that time, Liu Yu arranged a team of guards to protect his safety. Liu Yu also wanted to prevent Su Yan from having any accidents.

Su Yan held his son to the door and looked out. There was only the direction of the gate. The two guards sat there as if they were talking, and no one was coming. Su Yan knew that these guards were usually very lazy, that is, Bien was not very attentive on duty, and they did not act like the Royal Guards at all.

"Oh! After all, it's not an imperial guard." Su Yan sighed. He was about to close the door, but was startled by the black shadow standing behind him.

"You!" Su Yan was startled, and his son was almost unable to hold him firmly. In front of him was a man in black, even his face was covered, but when he calmed down, he was not afraid, because he had seen this person many times in the past six months, and even if he didn't show his face, he knew who it was.

"How did you... come in?" Su Yan was a little nervous. However, he hugged his son and did not dare to speak. He was afraid of being shocked by his son, and he was afraid that Xiaoyu would know his relationship with these people.

"Your Majesty, why are you so afraid?" The man smiled at Su Yan and then untied the cloth on his face. He was a man, in his forties, looking very smart and cunning. At least Su Yan was frightened every time when he saw him, because in his previous imprisoned life, the person in front of him was the only "outsider" he could see.

"Is it... the Seventh Emperor asked you to come?" Su Yan tried his best to avoid this person's eyes and asked.

"Of course." The man sneered and said, "The leader asked me to ask the emperor, why did you escape?"

When Su Yan heard the word "escape", he was shocked and said, "I...I didn't run away. I was rescued by someone. Besides, the Seventh Emperor brother... knows, you can't even scare me again."

Su Yan said, keeping looking at the direction of the back hall. He was afraid that Sun Xiaoyu would come out at this time and he could not explain the identity of this person to Sun Xiaoyu. At the same time, he was also afraid that this person would not be beneficial to Su Xiaoyu. He knew that these people would not let irrelevant people know that he had contact with these people.

The man glanced at the curtain in the back hall and smiled, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the queen... won't come out to disturb you and me."

Su Yan immediately changed his expression when he heard this: "What do you... mean? What's wrong with you?"

"Don't worry, the queen is just sleeping for a while..."

Although this person said he would not attack Sun Xiaoyu, Su Yan was still very worried. He knew that these people acted extremely ruthlessly and their words were unreliable.

"I've left, you're still here... Why are you here? I'm nothing, I'm just a king of southern China, and I'm playing with it in my palm. I can't help you anything except being a cowardly dog! Why don't you let me go?" Su Yan said sadly, shocking the son in his hand. His son cried loudly. Su Yan comforted him very much, but he was not responsible. Su Yan simply cried with his son.

Su Yan thought about it, and his voice became a few degrees higher: "If you force me again, I will fight you to the death!"

The man smiled and seemed to have expected Su Yan's unusual reaction, but he still comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't be so excited. Actually, I came here to remind the emperor that no one can regret what he promised to the leader."

Su Yan's hands were trembling.

The man added with a ferocious look: "Don't forget that the emperor is also a member of our Holy Sect and must obey the leader. If the emperor abducts the religion, the fate will be as terrible as any traitor!"

Su Yan's body was shaking harder and harder, because he had seen with his own eyes how the church members of the Three Puritans were treated. Once there was something that was not in line with the wishes of the leader, they would even be skinned and cramped. That was the most tragic thing he had ever seen. He had thought that one day he would have no value and would be treated the same way. He thought that if he left the Three Puritans, he would have been protected by the court, so he no longer had to worry. He did not expect that even here, someone would still remind him what would happen if he would be.

Su Yan suddenly fell to the ground and kowtowed to the man.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing? In the Holy Church, your status is higher than that of your subordinates, and this is to destroy your subordinates..."

"I beg you, let me go! I... I have no use value anymore, I can't help you anything. My master... You fight with him, I can't help you... My master is very powerful, and the court is very stable now, and you have never had the chance to fight with him..."

"Does the emperor really think we want Liu Wen to fight seriously?" The man raised his head and smiled, "We are just following the will of heaven to fulfill God's guidance. Emperor, in the doctrine of the Holy Church, should you question the leader's actions?"

"No... it shouldn't be." Su Yan said tremblingly.

"That's it. The leader represents God's will. What God wants us to do will let the leader convey it." The man smiled and added, "Besides, the court is not as stable as the emperor thought. There are many people in the court in which we will contribute everything to the leader's great cause. These people are by no means ordinary pawns, and each one can stand alone."

"...Yes." Su Yan thought for a long time and followed a word.

The man smiled and looked very kind, but Su Yan seemed to think it was fake. Su Yan lowered his head and didn't hear any movement for a long time. He stood up and looked again. The man had left, silently.

"It's like a ghost, pestering people."

Su Yan quickly went into the inner hall to see Xiaoyu's condition. When he saw Xiaoyu breathing evenly, he felt relieved when he saw that he felt like he had fallen asleep.

"No, I have to leave Chang'an City quickly. Only by leaving Chang'an City can I not be entangled by these evil ghosts." Su Yan thought, "I also have to find more guards with my master, so I can't fall into their hands anymore. I can't let the master know my relationship with them, otherwise the master will definitely kill me."

Thinking of this, Su Yan kept wiping his tears and muttering to himself: "Why am I so miserable?"

After crying for a while, Su Yan suddenly remembered something and said to himself: "I also want to remind the master to be careful. These people have already arranged many people in front of the master. The master may not notice it, so it will be dangerous..."

…………

Being in the palace, this night was nothing special for Liu Yu. The only difference was that Han Sheng gave him a list before the night was approaching, saying that some people's promotion was a bit unusual.

Liu Yu kept Han Sheng in the inner court as a guest and discussed some things about the court recently. Liu Yu regarded some things as official business. When discussing, he discussed with Han Sheng as a subordinate as a boss. However, when he arrived at the inner court, Han Sheng was Liu Yu's elder, or an old friend, and he was not so reserved when talking about things.

Han Sheng reported to Liu Yu that some of the people listed in the industry were all newly emerging "rises". Speaking of which, these people were children of Chang'an City, or young officials selected by the old emperor and Su Yan. Originally, these people had their own promotion paths and needed to accumulate experience in becoming officials bit by bit. This time, Han Sheng proposed this mainly because he felt that these people's promotion was a bit too fast and a little bit beyond ordinary.

"All of them are officials recommended by the Ministry of Personnel." After dinner, Liu Yu kept Han Sheng in the study and read the officials in the memorial book and said, "There should be no big problem."

Liu Yu said this because although these people have been promoted in their official positions, their ranks have not increased. They are just transferred from some small yamen to six ministries, which is an improvement from local officials to Beijing officials. Originally, some officials with good character will gradually be released from the court, because they are far away from Chang'an City, and they are more dedicated to their duties and will not act arbitrarily. Transferring the people below to Chang'an City is a manifestation of trust and distrust. It is trust in public, but it is not trust in secret.

"The problem is here." Han Sheng said, "This is the transfer of officials since the Minister of Personnel took office. Brother Liu, look at the transfer situation in the previous few months."

Han Sheng took out another memorial, which listed some promotions for officials.

Liu Yu compared it and found that some officials were sent to the area around Chang'an City a month ago, and were sent to the eighth rank from the seventh rank. A month later, they were already from the sixth rank. However, some officials were transferred from the seventh rank, but they returned from the eighth rank.

Back and forth, some rise and some fall, which is generally unusual. Whether it is rising or falling, there is a sense of evil spirit, which makes Liu Yu feel that this is not like the court, but it seems like a child playing house.
