Chapter 677 The end of the song and the people are scattered (1)

On the 13th night of the twelfth lunar month of the second year of Qichang in the Shun Dynasty, there was a bloody night. From the palace to the inside and outside of Chang'an City, it was filled with bloody smell. First, thousands of rebels died in the palace, and then a battle to seize military power in Chang'an City.

The rebels led by He Mao, the commander of the Chang'an camp in the south, and Dongshui camp in the south, were unable to conquer the inner city gate after entering the outer city of Chang'an City, and were in a deadlock for a while. Liu Yu sent a new army to break out of the south gate of the inner city, and caught the enemy off guard. Then the rebels advanced to the line and mutiny. Some generals who were close to Liu Yu killed Dong Shu in front of the formation and captured He Mao. The rebels collapsed without fighting.

Liu Yu immediately ordered that He Mao and Dong Shu and his subordinates who participated in the planning of the rebellion would be beheaded in front of the army and give their power to the army. The remaining soldiers and generals who participated in the rebellion would be spared. The soldiers and horses of the two battalions must withdraw from Chang'an City before dawn and return to the camp to settle.

On the 14th day of the twelfth lunar month, the chaos in Chang'an City was finally completely calmed down. However, due to a bloody battle in the south of the city last night, many places in the city were covered in blood and many corpses were not allowed to move away until dawn. There was no martial law in the city, but ordinary people still dared not step out of the house for fear of causing trouble.

Liu Yu stood on the Quetai at the south gate of the palace all night, and his mood still did not calm down until dawn. This night changed his mood a lot, especially at the moment when Su Yan died.

The news from all parties in the city summed up with Liu Yu, which also made Liu Yu understand the environment in Chang'an City at this time. As the two battalions of troops retreated from Chang'an City, it meant that the rebellion was completely collapsed. Most of the Three Puritans who took advantage of the chaos to kill and set fire last night were arrested and killed on the spot. At this time, all the unstable factors in Chang'an City seemed to have been eliminated. However, Liu Yu couldn't get up. First, it was because the fact of the war last night was tragic. Not only did the rebels suffer serious casualties, but Liu Yu's direct new army was also damaged by Su Yan's death, and even Su Zhe, the culprit, was still unknown.

Liu Yu stood on the Quetai and thought for a night, but still didn't understand why Su Yan, who had "repentant" at the farewell banquet that day, turned from the silent Lamb to explode. Could it be that Su Zhe was some of Su Zhe's deception methods? Liu Yu recalled the complaints before Su Yan died last night. At that time, Su Yan firmly believed that Su Zhe was dead and "sacrificing his life for justice" to help him become the emperor. It makes sense in theory that Su Zhe gave up his life in order to ensure the foundation of the Su family and created a chance to ascend the throne to the emperor. But in Liu Yu's opinion, there are still many unreasonable things. First of all, Su Zhe did not need to destroy himself in the sea of ​​fire. Moreover, last night, Eunuch Wu came out to issue an order and was killed. What was going on?

Liu Yu sighed, but unfortunately the imperial edict had been burned after the chaos last night, and it should have been burned. At that time, Liu Yu thought that the government orders in the Yaqian Hall were not unified at that time. Some asked Eunuch Wu to come out to issue the imperial edict, but some ordered the imperial edict to beheaded, so that the imperial edict could not be promoted.

Unable to figure it out, Liu Yu stopped tangling. After a night of busyness, he felt a little tired, especially after the matter was successfully resolved. But in this perfection, there were still many things that made him feel unhappy.

Liu Yu walked down the Quetai and headed straight towards the Yaqian Hall. Although Su Yan had died last night, two other important figures involved in the rebellion, Su Bi and Chai Jin, are now imprisoned, waiting for Liu Yu to interrogate. Liu Yu wanted to get some useful information from the couple.

Some officials rescued last night were still sitting in front of the Yaqian Hall. When they saw Liu Yu coming, the officials stood up one after another, but their faces also had a look of fear. Liu Yu still didn't see Li Yannian from it. Liu Yu has been considering this issue since last night, where has his father-in-law gone?

Han Sheng was the highest-ranking one among the people, but at this time he was also the most silent one. When Su Yan died, Han Sheng also had a knot in his heart. After all, he was a "loyal minister" of the Su family. Knowing that the death of the emperor of the abdicated emperor was, for Han Sheng, he simply ignored Liu Yu.

"Where are Xinzhujun and Linqinghou now?" Liu Yu asked Liao Mingsheng, who was greeting with a cautious look on his face.

Liao Mingsheng quickly saluted and said, "Go back to the prince, I have made proper arrangements to temporarily detain them in a safe place."

The "safe place" that Liao Mingsheng mentioned was just the yamen where the Imperial Guards were in front of Dongye Gate, and the place where Liu Yu worked when he was the president of the Imperial Guards. When Liu Yu arrived, he saw several female guards guards guarding outside. Only Liu Yu remembered that Liao Mingsheng, as the chief envoy of the Censorate, could not mobilize any army. Only these female guards might be "bluffed" by him and come to help him complete the garrison task.

Su Bi and Chai Jin are now "stolen". In the killing order last night, they should have been beheaded, but Liu Yu forced them to live until dawn in order to obtain information.

Liu Yu arrived in front of the Imperial Army Office, and Chai Jin was the first to pounce, trying to hold Liu Yu's legs, but was stopped by the guards behind Liu Yu. Chai Jin was also a little excited at this time, looking at Liu Yuwu, I didn't know what he was saying. Chai Jin saw such a tragic war last night, and he was already afraid of death. Now Liu Yulai seemed to be coming to send the court. No matter how stupid he was, he knew to beg for mercy.

Liu Yu waved his hand and asked the guards to drag Chai Jin aside. Liu Yu went straight into the Imperial Army Office, waved his hand and ordered the guards to stand in front of the door and not be allowed to enter.

At this time, Su Bi was still covered in blood and sat on a chair, her expression was relieved. After experiencing ups and downs, she had already accepted the facts in her heart. She also knew very well that with Liu Yu's methods, the chance of accomplishing things was too small, and she was prepared to die.

"Your Highness Xinzhujun, don't be fine."

Liu Yu entered the door and didn't find a place to sit, but just gave a cold greeting.

Su Bi no longer had the might of a heroine in Fengcui Palace. She didn't sneer, and didn't even raise her head. She just sat there slightly dejectedly. When she heard Liu Yu's voice, she even closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, tears also slid down.

Liu Yu didn't know whether Su Bi was feeling sad for Su Yan who had just died or felt sorry for not being able to accomplish anything. In fact, this scene had been experienced a year ago.

"The debts have to be paid back in any case." Su Bi said for no reason. His voice was so dull that he thought Su Bi was feeling before his death.

A year ago, Liu Yu successfully usurped the throne and pushed Qier to the throne, and he also experienced the scene before him. However, in order to calm the people's hearts, Liu Yu thought that the "debt" Su Bi should have happened a year ago.

Su Bi suddenly raised her head and looked at Liu Yu with a decisive expression. She said, "Liu Wenyan, you have won, you have won completely. Why not kill me? You have to come and see me so desolate? Just to show that you are a winner, show your power and show off your power? I laugh at me with all my heart?"

Liu Yu coughed, and Su Bi's words were full of resentment and hostility. Liu Yu turned his face to the side. In his opinion, it was no longer important whether Su Bi died or not, and he had no sympathy for Su Bi. If it were not for him, Liu Yu, perhaps this woman would have driven Su Yan off the throne. Unfortunately, the mountain was higher than the other. With him, Liu Yu, there would be no place for her Su Bi to stand. This is "Who has given birth to Yu and how can you give Liang?"

Liu Yu looked at the bright sky outside and didn't say anything, so he knew that Su Bi had no desire to beg at this time, so he could ask nothing. Su Bi would rather die than say it.

Su Bi smiled coldly and stood up suddenly. Just when Liu Yu thought she was about to pounce on her and was ready for defense, Su Bi suddenly pulled away her clothes, stripped off the blood-stained court suits outside, and then reached out to untie the white mid laner inside.

In the middle of winter, Su Bi only wore these two clothes, not even underwear or underwear. When Su Bi was not covered in her body, Su Bi suddenly lay on the desk on the side, and even pushed the pen, ink, paper and ink to the ground. Liu Yu felt vaguely familiar with this scene, and suddenly remembered that when Zhao Su Shi lured him, she almost used the same trick.

But Liu Yuming knew that Su Bi was not tempting him. Su Bi didn't need to do this at all.

"Your Highness Xinzhujun, what are you doing?" Liu Yu asked with a sneer.

"What?" Su Bi laughed, "Liu Wenyan, why are you pretending to be a gentleman? Now, the spoils are right in front of you, why don't you enjoy them? Could it be that if I let me crawl in front of you on my knees like a dog, then you will pounce on me like a wolf?"

Liu Yu clenched his fists tightly, and he felt that Su Bi was completely mocking.

At that time, the Zhao Su family was releasing Liu Yu's desire to take it, but at this time, Su Bi was closer to a state of "losing his mind" and no longer considered the consequences when doing things.

Liu Yu turned his face to the side, and said in a plain tone: "Your husband is still outside and will come in at any time. Are you afraid of letting him know?"

"Husband? Hahaha... Is he a man? What will he say when he knows it? Say, Bier, what are you doing? You can't do this, hahaha... Apart from saying a few words, how could he look like a man?" Su Bi's smile even more shrill, "He is simply useless. Now it seems that he has grown his skills. It turns out that his belly has gone up. If he hadn't been delayed for two hours on the road, it would not be you Liu Wenyan who stood there to mock him, but me!"

Liu Yu sighed. Su Bi was now angry and blamed Chai Jin completely. What is the use of two more hours or less? Liu Yu couldn't figure it out, but Su Bi was confused. The main reason was that Su Bi was still confused that Chai Jin was a useless man.

Su Bi was still lying naked on the desk, tears flowing down her face: "Liu Wenyan, do you know what is the biggest regret in this life?"

Liu Yu said in a bad tone: "I don't know, nor do I want to know."

"That's why I hate myself for marrying for two years and not meeting you... but marrying that useless man." Su Bi finally said the words hidden in her heart for many years, "Do you know what I felt when I saw you in Zangyunfang? At that time, I thought, how good would it be if such a wise and courageous man was a man from my palace... My father asked me to go to the palace and asked me what I think of you. At that time, I strongly recommended you and said that you are a useful person. At that time, I didn't even understand what kind of person you were..."

When Liu Yu heard these words, he felt awkward. How could a strong woman like Su Bi be so weak?

"...Liu Wenyan, I don't know if you still remember that in Zangyunfang, you touched my hand. I was annoyed, but I also knew that you were unintentional. At that time, I wanted to punish you, but in the end I held back. At that time, I thought, if you can be more shameless, kill Chai Jin, possess me, and let me do something for you... How good is that? I don't want to be a fearful woman, I just want to be a little woman, and a man will shelter me from the wind and rain. I just need to stay at home, take care of my husband and children, and wait for my husband to come back every day."

Liu Yu frowned and glanced at Su Bi, thinking that this woman was crazy now.

He actually wanted to look forward to a man who had never expressed his feelings to her, kill his husband and then acted as the man's housekeeper? Although Chai Jin was indeed useless, it was not useless like Wu Dalang. Liu Yu also thought that perhaps this was the result of the gradual psychological distortion after Su Bi discovered that Chai Jin betrayed, and Su Bi was not so "shameless".

"I don't hate him for having women outside. If he had the ability, like you, Liu Wenyan, I don't care how many women he has." Su Bi Shenrong said sadly, "If so, you are my man. Will it be someone else sitting on the throne now? Hum..." A bitter smile. "I envy the fourteenth emperor girl, and even more envy the sister of the Xu family. If you have a man like you. It's a pity..."

"If you don't say anything, say goodbye!" Liu Yu didn't want to talk nonsense to Su Bi anymore. He felt that it would be better to find someone to question the useless Chai Jin when he heard such a crazy woman talking. Maybe there would be some result.

Liu Yu walked towards the door, took a few steps, Su Bi sat up with her body and asked, "What's wrong? Liu Wenyan, I am not as good as the woman in your family? Didn't you think about this long ago? In the posture of a winner, humiliate me to the fullest... Or do you dare not face me at all, because you also know that you can't resist the charm of me?"

Crazy! It must be crazy!

While warning himself not to talk to a crazy woman, Liu Yu walked out of the Imperial Guard Office. When he took a few breaths, he remembered what he was here to do today. He had to sigh that Su Bi was indeed a capable woman who could grasp his "weakness", that is, his compassion and ruthlessness towards women. Even if he was so down, Su Bi who was just waiting to be given the title could make Liu Yu restless and almost said to her.

Liu Yu looked back at the Imperial Guard's yamen, and then looked at Chai Jin, who was sitting on the ground and crying incontinence. However, he also understood Su Bi in his heart. If a strong woman had a man helping her, it would be difficult for her to ascend the throne. The third and fourth princes, Su Zhe, Su Ren and Su Yan, in terms of governing the country, tolerating the forbearance, and to tactics, he did not get to Su Bi, but because she was a daughter, she lost too much.

Liu Yu was thinking, and the guards came to report that it was Liu Liniang who invited her to see her outside the palace. Liu Yu calmed down a little, and thought to himself that the things he arranged for Liu Liniang to do yesterday had been settled.

"Take good care of Guan Xin Zhujun and his wife..."

Liu Yu gave Liao Mingsheng an instruction. Not long after he walked out, Liao Mingsheng hurried over and reported in a difficult situation: "The prince... this... I have something to report to you."

Liu Yu frowned and looked at Liao Mingsheng: "Why are you so panicked?"

"Xinzhujun... was in the room, and committed suicide for fear of guilt, cut his throat..."

Liu Yu closed his eyes and looked up at the sky again. He suddenly smiled helplessly. Although this was Su Bi's last fate, for some reason, after hearing Su Bi's last words that were similar to "confession", he felt a little heavier.

What Su Bi lacks is just a man who can help him.

"Maybe in her heart, I really want to be a little woman." Liu Yu said to himself.

"If you die, die." Liu Yu ordered Liao Mingsheng, "Buried well and buried in the imperial tomb..."

Liu Yu wanted to say a few more words, but at this time, he couldn't say it.

"Prince, then Linqing Marquis..."

Liu Yu thought about it and it would be useless to make things difficult for Chai Jin, who was completely clumsy. Chai Jin was dull and was used by others, and only Su Bi and Su Yan were used. Now that the two siblings are dead, he no longer cares about it.

"Be detained first, and let it go in a few days." After Liu Yu said that, he stopped stopping and left the palace gate.

Liu Yu was in a bad mood. Su Yan and him were called masters and apprentices, but they were actually father and son. Liu Yu felt that he had done his duty as a master and taught Su Yan well. If it weren't for him, Liu Yu might have become a wise king in the future. However, because of power struggles, Su Yan died. After all, it was Liu Yu's fault. Su Bi, Liu Yu always regarded her as a good friend. In the past, whether it was a political alliance or a hidden hook shot before the political alliance, he was an old friend, and this old friend was a strong woman who secretly fell in love with him.

Liu Yu met Liu Liniang, who reported in detail what she had done over the past day. It was mainly to pretend to be Su Zhe in the Three Puritans and lure Su Zhe out of his true form.

When Liu Liniang reported, Liu Yu was a little dazed. On the one hand, Liu Yu felt tired because of feelings, on the other hand, Liu Yu felt tired because of physical fatigue, and on the other hand, he was physically exhausted, and even more psychologically exhausted. For power, he lost too much and was not in the mood to continue fighting.

"Twelve Young Master, why do you seem to be in the mood to listen?" Liu Liniang noticed Liu Yu's abnormality. After all, she is Liu Yu's woman. She is very considerate to Liu Yu and can also say something that ordinary subordinates cannot say. "Now, we can find the leader immediately and kill him!"

Liu Liniang felt that Liu Yu should be energetic now. But Liu Yu seemed to be frosted eggplant, and she was still there.

"I understand." Liu Yu sighed, "Li Niang, after completing this, I plan to completely let go of the affairs of the court and be a leisurely person. At that time, the whole family will live happily and will no longer have so many worries."

Liu Liniang glanced at him like a resentful woman, and said with a hint of anger: "The family you are talking about is the woman in your palace, right?" (To be continued...)
