Chapter six hundred and sixty-one I deserve the good name, and the evil things are faked by others
It was nothing to kill a few people, but Liu Yu didn't even let go of the group of great scholars and officials in Huaibei Province, let alone a group of students. But the key to the problem was that when the storm was at the forefront, the court was about to unite with the outside world, but such "friendly countries were surprised" incidents occurred. When the students made trouble, it was equivalent to pushing the public opinion tendency of Chang'an City to the Sanqing Cult.
As Lian Husheng killed students at the palace gate and hung some student representatives on the palace gate to show public, more people participated in this "farce" of denunciating the court. First, some officials from the Ministry of Rites and then some old ministers in the court, their news was quickly obtained. Then they made a statement that they would support these students and denounce the court's behavior of banning Buddhas and banning Taoism.
"Who said the court wanted to ban Buddha and ban Taoism?" Liu Yu did not want to make a big deal, so he called all the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the teachers of the Imperial College and the University who came to cheer for the students to the yard outside the Yaqian Hall, and reiterated his position in public, "Last night, I just wanted to search for the rebels and cults that might be hidden in the Buddhist temple. The purpose of locating Taoism is the same. Whether it is monks or ordinary Buddhist believers, after quelling this matter, they will be asked to return to the Buddhist temple and ban Taoism to continue their practice. The court did not intend to ban Buddha or ban Taoism!"
After Liu Yu finished speaking, the officials and teachers below were still very dissatisfied. In fact, they were very dissatisfied with Liu Yu himself. With the incident of killing students at the gate of the palace, they were even more justified, believing that Liu Yu's actions could only prove that he was lying. The fact is that Liu Yu could not tolerate the existence of religion in the Dashun Dynasty, the Three Pure Cults, and the Buddhist and Taoist sects were the same.
At this time, facing the people who were excited to condemn others, Liu Yu knew that these people would not give up without doing anything. Originally, he just wanted to appease the people in the court who had opinions about it first. He did not expect that there were so many people who had opinions. Until now, he could only deal with Lian Husheng first and temporarily suppress the limelight.
Liu Yu ordered Lian Husheng to be imprisoned and wait for the defeat. At the same time, he handed over the garrison of the palace to the new army, temporarily dispatched Huo Bing as the president of the palace guards, and at the same time rebuild the establishment of the Imperial Guards.
Liu Yu issued several decrees in the front hall of Yaqian. Finally, he temporarily suppressed the anger of a group of people outside. As far as Liu Yu knew, the group of students at the entrance of the palace had not dispersed, and more and more people gathered.
"Dear officials." Liu Yu issued the order and walked out of Yaqian Hall again and said in public, "Now is the time when the court is worried and difficult inside and outside. If the problem of the Three Puritans is not handled well, then the city of Chang'an will be uneasy. Then the Turks in the north and Goryeo in the northeast and the countries in the Western Regions will plan for the territory of the Dashun Dynasty..."
Liu Yu deliberately said something very serious. He raised the level of the problem to the security of the country and the nation. All this made him feel like he was reading the script. "Everyone hurry up and advised the scholars to go back, and the court will explain it to them. In addition, if the Marquis of Yong brought his troops to the palace, then he would not only kill one or two people, but he would have killed too many people. Don't say that the court is ruthless, I am ruthless!"
Even those who are familiar with Liu Yu feel a sense of fear coming out of their hearts when they hear Liu Yu's words. Liu Yu is warning these people that if they don't persuade the students to leave quickly, the court may carry out a massacre at the gate of the palace. They are all thinking in their hearts, aren't this King Lin afraid of falling into a stigma for the ages?
Liu Yu didn't care about anything but being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being absent from the side of being accused of being absurd of being accused of being accused of being absurd of being ac
Seeing that the group of officials outside who stood up for the students had no intention of leaving, Liu Yu snorted coldly and returned to Yaqian Hall. While he was blaming Lian Husheng, an evil fire also arose in his heart. He insisted on thinking that he was so arrogant that he was so great that Confucians and students who were in charge of etiquette and public opinion could teach them a lesson.
Seeing that Liu Yu's expression was abnormal, Han Sheng quickly persuaded him: "Brother Liu, don't do anything randomly for now. I will persuade them first. I will still listen to me."
Liu Yu waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Han."
When Liu Yu saw Han Sheng go out, he glanced at Sui Yu who was sitting on the side. The disaster relief matter had been discussed and was about to be implemented, but he encountered such a thing. Liu Yu wanted to discuss this matter with Sui Yu. In fact, he just wanted to find a listener and "exchange feelings" by the way. At this time, Liao Mingsheng, the Censor of the Censorate, was looking for a meeting outside.
Liao Mingsheng had come before, and Liu Yu arranged some things for him, so Liao Mingsheng left. Who knew that he would return again. Liu Yu didn't know that he actually revealed the idea of killing a warning to Lian Husheng. In fact, Liao Mingsheng was the one behind the scenes.
Liao Mingsheng knew how to grasp Liu Yu's thoughts very well. In fact, what he said was right. Liu Yu really had no good feelings for those students. Liu Yu in power and the students who challenged the power would obviously not live in harmony. However, Liao Mingsheng also knew that with Liu Yu's current status, it would be difficult to deal with those students, and he would not be the first to be the first. So he had to indirectly reveal the middle joint to Lian Husheng, so that Lian Husheng, the "fool" lit the explosive barrel. The matter was done, and he had no responsibility. He retaliated against Lian Husheng's disrespect for him. Liu Yu could also pass the test, killing multiple kills in one fell swoop.
"Mingsheng, what's wrong with you coming back?" Liu Yu was not very friendly to Liao Mingsheng, who disturbed his exchange of experience with Sui Yu, and his eyes looked over were also a little angry. His eyes seemed to remind Liao Mingsheng that you shouldn't be here at this time.
"Prince, I have another list here, which I just summarized and dedicated to the prince for reference."
Liu Yu frowned. Over the past few days, Liao Mingsheng has indeed submitted a lot of "lists". In fact, Liao Mingsheng obtained a list of officials who were in contact with the Three Pure Cults through investigations. The list includes mixed personnel, some may have connections with the Three Pure Cults, some may have sympathy, or some have relatives at home participated in the Three Pure Cults activities or believe in religion. Liu Yu felt that handling these matters would have too much impact, so he kept holding on and not making any comments on this matter.
"List? Take it." Liu Yu wanted to see what was different from the previous ones on Liao Mingsheng's list.
Liao Mingsheng handed the list forward. Liu Yu looked at it and couldn't help but frown. Although Liu Yu's current position was unfamiliar with the people in the upper and lower yamen in the court, they knew the names, but these names were very rare. After he looked at it for a long time, only a few people seemed to have seen it. He couldn't remember which yamen it was.
Liu Yu didn't deal with those important yamen officials. Liu Yu didn't want to make things difficult for these sesame and green beans. But Liu Yu seemed to understand something from the slightly evil smile on Liao Mingsheng's face.
"These are the list of students," Liu Yu asked.
"The prince is clear, it is indeed the case. I first investigated the several students who were killed and learned that they... had connections with the Three Pure Cults, and were deceived by the Three Pure Cults to cause trouble with the court. As I thought, even the generals knew about this, so I used military weapons to kill a few people to face the scene."
Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh. Liao Mingsheng really can smooth things over. So, isn't it equivalent to frame-up and accusation?
However, Liu Yu thought about it, this was indeed a good idea. As long as the list was published, it was said that these students had colluded with cults such as the Sanqing Cult. The Sanqing Cult first arranged some people to set fires in the city to cause chaos, and then used their detailed works in universities and Imperial College to instigate students to cause trouble. It was just that the court "clearly observed" and discovered something in advance, so he killed one to warn a hundred.
Liu Yu looked at Sui Yu, and Sui Yu immediately looked away. Liu Yu sighed in his heart. Only Sui Yu heard these words sincerely. Sui Yu also knew what he was going to do, just to accuse the group of students of being connected to the Three Pure Church. This matter is small or big, but it is just the two words of Guan, and what is said is.
"Shuling of Sui Zhong, what do you think?" Liu Yu asked Sui Yu.
Sui Yu was afraid that Liu Yu would ask for her opinions on this matter, and with her personality, she tried not to involve the power struggle in the court. Once she encountered it, she chose to watch, because the main purpose of her entry into the court was that she really liked to prove her ability, especially in front of Liu Yu, and the other was that she wanted to maintain the Sui family's position in Chang'an City in the future. The Sui family became a hot family of officials in Chang'an City from a merchant family, which had a lot to do with her rise in status, and her popularity was even above her brother Sui Yi.
"Secretary..." Sui Yu lowered her head slightly and asked like a little woman, "Can you just ask?"
Liu Yu smiled. He understood what Sui Yu meant, even if she heard it, she pretended not to hear it.
Liu Yu did not make a clear statement immediately and said to Liao Mingsheng: "Mingsheng will do this for the time being. As for the method, you can consider it yourself."
Liao Mingsheng also smiled bitterly. This time he came to offer advice to Liu Yu, but Liu Yu didn't accept it. Instead, he kicked the ball back to him. Although he gave him the power to stop him, it was equivalent to giving him an unguaranteed promise. Whether he handled it well or not is really similar to Lian Husheng, everything must be subject to the pros and cons of the political power struggle. Even if he did things well, Liu Yu might be held accountable afterwards.
But Liao Mingsheng was very "sensible". He understood that the only way he could take over the position was to promote Liu Yu. Now is the time when Liu Yu has problems. If he can't jump out and solve it, what's the use of Liu Yu staying by his side? He refused to take on this dirty and tiring work, so he would wait to be a minor official in the future, and he wouldn't have to do anything.
"Don't worry, Prince, I know how to do it. I will tell people outside, tell them why General Lian killed those students..."
