At a farewell banquet, Su Yan's unscrupulous act of self-indulgence became the taste of the banquet. The people present, including Su Bi and Xu Xuanzhu, were all looking at Liu Yu. Liu Yu's face was calm and his expression did not fluctuate too much. Finally, Liu Yu lifted his sword and said, "Separate banquet!"

The banquet was about to part. The meaning was already very obvious. Even if Su Yan was leaving Chang'an City, Liu Yu no longer planned to see him off. After all, Liu Yu's main purpose of holding this banquet was to test Su Yan. Now Su Yan confessed honestly, saving Liu Yu's trouble.

This incident also made Liu Yu more sure that he must use thunder to deal with the Three Pure Sects and cannot give him any opportunity to develop.

After the banquet ended, Liu Yu asked Lian Husheng and other guards to convene important military and political personnel to hold a mobilization meeting to discuss how to eliminate the Three Puritans. Then Liu Yu stepped out of Wu'an Hall. Except for Xu Xuanzhu who returned to the inner court and Chai Jin and his wife who returned home, the rest followed behind and moved to Yaqian Hall. Su Yan shrank his head and followed behind. He knew that he could not run away this time, so Liu Yu also called him to go over and explained everything he knew in detail.

The mobilization meeting held by Liu Yu this time was mainly military officials. In terms of civil servants, Liu Yu mainly convened officials from Shangshutai, Sansi and Jingzhao Prefecture. Most of the officials were Liu Yu's direct descendants, and they were neither the direct descendants nor had much involvement with Su Zhe. They were basically new officials from the new dynasty.

Liu Yu entered the Yaqian Hall first. Soon, Qi'er, the emperor, came here under the escort of a female official. Today, she was discussing major issues related to the country of Shun Dynasty. Qi'er had to attend, but at most she came here just to listen. Liu Yu was still in charge.

Liu Yu divided everyone into several waves and summoned them in batches, which was equivalent to asking different people to form different departments to specifically deal with some division of labor and cooperation in the eradication of the Three Puritans.

First of all, the Shangshutai, mainly Han Sheng and Sui Yu. Liu Yu did not allow Chai Jin, who was the royal prince-in-law, to attend because of his special status. Liu Yu wanted to completely wipe out the Three Puritans, first of all, issued a government order, classified the Three Puritans as a "cult", and immediately ordered local government offices, military offices, and local garrison camps across the country to thoroughly investigate local religious affairs, strictly prohibit any gathering activities in the name of religion, and detain and question the person involved, or even torture, to achieve the purpose of qualitative elimination in terms of political orders.

During the first wave of summons, Liu Yu made it clear, that is, let Han Sheng and Sui Yu define the Three Puritans in the name of the court, determine a programmatic decree of the court, and reach the local government from the court.

Han Sheng had heard what Su Yan said in Wu'an Hall. He knew that Liu Yu said this. He immediately understood that the court wanted to eradicate the Three Pure Sects, just like the court had to ban Buddhism or ban Taoism in the past, and the regulations implemented were roughly equivalent. Although Han Sheng did not advocate this very much, he also knew that the court and the Three Pure Sects are now incompatible, mainly because the leader behind the Three Pure Sects was Liu Yu's cautious political enemy, Su Zhe, the King of Chu.

After summoning the people from the Shangshutai Yamen, a group of people left. Liu Yu immediately summoned Qu Zhu, the head of the secret intelligence agency, and Liao Mingsheng, the newly promoted censor of the Censorate. These two were confidants promoted by Liu Yu. What they wanted to do was not a righteous task, but something involved in some conspiracy.

"...Old Qu, you will continue to be responsible for the investigation and tracking of some important personnel within the Three Puritans. At the appropriate time, you must take down these people and conduct interrogation. You must know who the superior behind them is, follow the clues step by step, and catch the big fish..."

"...Mingsheng, you are responsible for gathering a group of people, representing the court, first conducting certain training in Chang'an City to let them expose the so-called miracles of the Three Puritans, and perform publicly in various parts of Chang'an City, and then go to the local area. For those miracles that are difficult to crack, you can offer rewards to find help from the martial arts warlocks. There are few of the tricks they created. Even if they are original, there are always flaws to follow..."

Qu Zhu is already familiar with the control of the intelligence department. The court was secretly monitoring a group of middle and upper-class figures of the Three Puritans. This time the court wanted to eliminate the Three Puritans, and his task was slightly increased. On the contrary, what Liu Yu asked him to do was just a basic trick of exposing the truth. To make the people believe that the Three Puritans are cults, they must expose one lie after another and let the people know that the so-called miracles are just like this.

After summoning the two, Liu Yu first asked Qu Zhu to do business, leaving Liao Mingsheng behind, and immediately summoned Li Mi, the Minister of War and the General Defense Department, and Wang Hu, the Chief of the General Defense Department.

Liao Mingsheng had just arrived in Chang'an City, and there were only official titles but no group of available people. Liu Yu asked Li Mi and Wang Hu to assist Liao Mingsheng in handling the matter. At the same time, Liu Yu also needed to use officers and soldiers from the General Defense Department and the yamen staff of Jingzhao Mansion to investigate the gathering points of the Three Pure Cults in the city, and at the same time, he wanted to capture some of the Three Pure Cults' followers.

In the local area, Liu Yu could feel at ease to let the soldiers of the garrison battalion and military office help the local yamen, but at the foot of the emperor of Chang'an City, Liu Yu did not want to make a furious move and let the soldiers enter the city. Fortunately, in addition to Jingzhao Mansion, there are also subordinate four-city yamen and six-defense yamen in Chang'an City, which is enough to stabilize the interior of Chang'an City. Li Mi had already had great experience in the previous purgatory activities, while Wang Hu was a novice. However, with Wang Hu's talent for "doing evil", Liu Yu could understand this side. He even proposed that Liu Yu arrange a batch of detailed works in the Three Pure Land Sects. Although Wang Hu's proposal was not a good proposal, it at least proved that he was working hard to do things.

After summoning Li Mi and Wang Hu, Liu Yu ordered the two of them to retreat, but still left Liao Mingsheng and did not let him go. Liu Yu summoned the people from the Sansi next, because Liao Mingsheng was the chief censor of the Censorate and as one of the heads of the Three Departments, he also needed to stay.

Liu Yu arranged the same thing to capture the Three Puritans before, and the rest was how to deal with the problem of the believers. For some believers who could "repent" in a normal way, Liu Yu would naturally pardon their "crimes" in a normal way to differentiate the Three Puritans, so that more of them could escape the influence of the cults. However, for those stubborn believers, Liu Yu did not intend to let them go easily. Liu Yu had decided to add several prison cells and prisons to the city, specifically imprison the Three Puritans, and send a group of people to "educate" them.

In special times, special means are used. Liu Yu knows what the reason why wildfires cannot burn out and the spring breeze is blown away. To crack down on the Three Pure Cults, they must vilify them, so that they can be like a rat crossing the street and everyone shouting to beat them. Even if they encouraged some good content, they must be denied, making the people feel that it is superstitious and unrealistic. Religious things should be eradicated, without fear of no reason. Liu Yu believes that as long as the public opinion work is done well enough, good can be said to be bad, let alone, the Three Pure Cults are originally a cult covered with a layer of Western religious skin, and they have their inherent weaknesses. It is even more difficult for the court to crack down on their existence.

Liu Yu had a special explanation to the people of the Sansi. The believers were detained from Jingzhao Prefecture and the Defense Department Office, and transferred to the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple. When they were convicted, Liu Yu felt that it should be appropriate. First of all, it should not be too strict and directly convicted of his death. Liu Yu also knew what Huairou was, and he also knew that many of the believers were ordinary people who did not know the truth. Liu Yu also had sincerity to these believers who had committed crimes. Therefore, Liu Yu also had special explanation to the people of the Sansi.

"...If any believer encounters a vassal, he can leave his back and go home and go to the yamen for investigation every day. For some missionaries, they should be detained separately to prevent them from bewitching people's hearts. For those in charge, they will be severely punished and not borrowed..."

After summoning the people from the Sansi, Liu Yu immediately summoned the two camps around Chang'an City, the generals of the South Chang'an Camp and the East Shui Camp, as well as important generals in Chang'an City, such as Huo Bing and others.

Regarding the local garrison camp, Liu Yu issued an order to assist local yamen and eliminate cults. As for the garrison troops around Chang'an City, Liu Yu ordered everything to be stable. At the same time, Liu Yu also asked the Ministry of War to strictly investigate the missionary phenomena in the army and prevent any development of the Three Pure Cults in the army.

The meeting was held until the middle of the night. When Qier was in a difficult situation, Liu Yu was still holding a meeting with the officials below to discuss. Finally, Han Sheng and Sui Yu submitted the temporary amendment and the decree to eradicate the Three Puritans to Liu Yu to see. It was already ugly.

Seeing that the government orders were not biased, Liu Yu closed his eyes and thought about what else was missing. After thinking for a while, he opened his eyes and asked Han Sheng and Sui Yu to take the government orders back and arrive at the place from the court overnight.

After all this was done, Qi'er had been sleeping on the soft pillow for more than an hour.

"Get up and go back to the inner court." After doing these things, Liu Yu patted Qi'er's face. Qi'er slowly woke up and looked around with a sleepy look. Only Liu Yu and a few female officials were left.

"My husband, are you done? It's so sleepy..."

"It's windy outside, so sleep here, just go to bed first, and then go back to the inner court after dawn."

Liu Yu asked Qier to continue sleeping on the warm kang in the Yaqian Hall, put on a quilt on her and asked the female official to take good care of her. Liu Yu left the palace overnight and headed towards the residence of Liu Liniang in the outside house.

When she arrived at Liu Liniang's place, Liu Yu went directly to the backyard to find Liu Liniang, and Liu Liniang was also woken up by a maid in her sleep, and she looked sleepy. However, she was different from Qier. After all, Liu Liniang knew the severity and no matter how sleepy she was, she knew that there would be something big about Liu Yu's visit late at night and would not come to the door without any trouble.

"Twelve Young Master, are you coming in a hurry and the court is on fire?" Liu Liniang went to the table, poured Liu Yu a cup of tea, and asked with a little jealousy.

Liu Yu smiled and expressed the purpose of this trip.

"Li Niang, I'm here this time to tell you that early in the morning, the court will formally issue a decree to declare the Three Puritans a cult. At the same time, the court will use various means to eliminate the development of the Three Puritans in Guanzhong and local areas."

Liu Liniang spread her hands, as if she was saying, these have nothing to do with me.
