Chapter 647: Good wind or bad water (1)

The Three Puritans suddenly mobilized the gathering of religious people. Liu Yuke said that he was expecting it, but he did not expect that Su Zhezhen, who was behind the scenes, would do so.

If you are anxious, you will jump over the wall. Everyone knows this principle, but Su Zhe will jump over the wall immediately from behind the scenes to the open. The court is no longer confused and has no clue. In fact, Liu Yu is actually looking forward to putting it out sooner and facing the enemy head-on. In terms of helpers, Liu Yu is confident that he has more people and has a greater grasp of victory.

However, after the light is put, Liu Yu also needs to face up to many questions, such as the question of where some old ministers in the old dynasty were standing. Although most of them knew each other, Liu Yu was afraid that these old ministers would be stingy. If there were such generals in the army, then what happened later would be lively.

In order to avoid mutiny in the army, Liu Yu was also more cautious in sending troops this time.

Although the generals sent out were the Nanchang'an camp and the Dongshui camp, and the generals used the two armies, Liu Yu made careful considerations on the leadership of the army. Some veterans of the old dynasty, Liu Yu, transferred them from the front line to take charge of the backup and reserve. Liu Yu divided the march into two groups, allowing a group of new generals to lead troops to charge into battle. These old ministers were naturally happy to pick up the ready-made ones behind.

The troops were sent on the second day of the winter moon. By the afternoon of the third day of the winter moon, the army had basically besieged Lang County. Although the Nanchang'an Camp and Dongshui Camp sent only tens of thousands of troops this time, and even the many religious people gathered in the past, these were regular troops and even local garrison troops could not compete with them head-on, let alone religious people who only had faith and no weapons or equipment.

Liu Yu knew about the development of things in a better way. But he always felt something was wrong. He was worried that Su Zhe and the Sanqing Sect, who had been worried for so long, would they solve it so smoothly?

On the evening of the third day of the winter moon, the preparations of the front-line army continued to spread to Liu Yu, who was in Chang'an City. Liu Yu summarized the battle report and found that the front-line was extremely calm, and the people gathered, and there were large numbers. In other words, the information was not biased, but the group of people contacted by the Three Pure Cults did not show up. In other words, Su Zhe, as the leader of the Three Pure Cults and the initiator of the gathering of the Three Pure Cults, did not appear in the county town of Lang County at all.

There was no leader, and the priests gathered and didn't know what to do. The small Lang County was occupied by this group of priests. It is said that people were everywhere in and outside the city, and the lives of the people in the local area were disturbed. After the army sent it, the situation was worse. Later, the army that suppressed the rebellion and began to urge the priests to leave. Many priests felt regretful about the pilgrimage to the gods, because the imperial court's action to clear the Three Pure Ones had not yet ended, and some conflicts occurred between these priests and officers and soldiers. However, the third day of the winter moon was a few small conflicts. There were no large-scale fights or killings. Even if there were casualties, it was an accidental event and did not cause major disputes.

After Liu Yu received the news that night, he felt particularly heavy in his heart. He seemed to have fallen into a trap. But the way he was under this trick was very special, which made him unable to explain it for a while.

Generals in the court, including ministers who had just returned to the Chang'an City War Department, gathered overnight in the Yaqian Hall of the Imperial Palace to discuss the war. It was a little different from the past to suppress the rebellion. These things happened at the doorstep. Lang County was a small county town next to Chang'an City. If such a thing happened, no one could go back to sleep with peace of mind. They were also afraid that there would be a sudden change in front of them and that Chang'an City would be in a hurry, although the possibility of this situation was very low.

Everything is absolutely absolutely true.

After several discussions that night, the people of the Ministry of War had no clue. Almost everyone believed that the gatherings should be the ones within the Three Puritans who thought that the gathering was confidential and would not be noticed by the court. Now that the news has been leaked, the people who listened more seriously and sent large troops to encircle and suppress them, so the senior officials of the Three Puritans did not show up.

For Liu Yu, this is of course the most ideal explanation. Although it seems to be reasonable, Liu Yu understands that things are not that simple. If this is true, then the only chance of accomplishing the Three Puritans will be gone. Su Zhe can be said to have bid farewell to the throne completely. Should he go into exile in the future, or continue to do things to do sneaking missionary around Chang'an City? No matter what, the Three Puritans will gradually be abandoned by most Shunchao people. If this is true, what is Su Zhe doing in the past few years? He did not expect that one day the court would discover his conspiracy. Liu Yu would eliminate the Three Puritans. He only thought about the trick of gathering the church. So many people were gathering, and he still felt that the court would not get the news in advance?

There was no result that night, and Liu Yu did not leave the Ministry of War to spend the night in the palace. When it was almost midnight, Liu Yu asked everyone to go back to the mansion to rest first, and then go to the Ministry of War to talk to him the next day.

After dismissing the Ministry of War, Liu Yu suddenly felt that there was not even a helper around him, mainly because he was too arbitrary and no one dared to say too much in front of him. As an outsider, he did lack trust and communication with the people around him. Liu Yu thought about it and perhaps only Han Sheng could give him some advice now, because the whole court had something to do with the autistic and domineering King Su Zhe of Chu and the leisurely and leisurely him. Only Han Sheng was the only one who went to the Chu Palace to visit Su Zhe, which was also recommended by Han Sheng.

It was already very late. Liu Yu originally planned to go to Han Sheng to talk about this the next day, but Han Sheng had been in the Shangshutai Yamen, which was originally in the palace. Han Sheng heard that the officials of the Ministry of War and the generals in the army in Yaqian Hall had dispersed, so he hurried over to find Liu Yu and took the initiative to tell him something.

"Brother Han, if you don't come, I'm just about to find you." Liu Yu asked Han Sheng to sit in the Yaqian Hall, and at the same time he also sent all the female officials out to facilitate his communication with Han Sheng, and no one disturbed him.

"I have heard of the situation in Lang County." Han Sheng sat on the chair and looked at Liu Yu with a smile, "It seems that the chaos has subsided too smoothly. Even I think it is not reasonable."

Liu Yu smiled and said that after all, he understood that Han Sheng was still thinking about him. Although Han Sheng was old and half of his body was in the soil, he had to think about other people's psychology, because he had been in the officialdom for so many years and was still engaged in intelligence work, so he also had his own tricks.

"Brother Han, you have some friendship with the Seventh Prince. Brother Han, tell me, what is he...?, or, with his style, what is going on?"

Han Sheng sighed helplessly: "Brother Liu, you asked me to stand on his side and think about what happened. Then I might as well say it bluntly..."

When Liu Yu heard this, he smiled and said, "But it's okay."

Han Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "You misunderstood what I mean. Actually, I want to say that there are only two people in this world, I can't understand them at all. One is you, the other is him. Brother Liu, from the beginning, I didn't expect you to be involved in the government affairs. I always feel that you should have no great achievements and be plain and simple, so forget it. Who knows that you are not only involved in the government affairs, but also have extremely...unexpected..."

Liu Yu knew that Han Sheng was saying that he was acting ruthlessly, so he couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Han, don't belittle me, and say the Seventh Prince."

Han Sheng also sighed, "If you want to talk about the Seventh Prince, he has been different from ordinary children since he was a child. He may have something to do with her mother, Mrs. Ye, and he is very autistic and no one talks to him. Even so, he acts a little weird. When the late emperor was alive, he often told me that he, the seventh prince, is good at everything, but he is not good at communicating with others, and asked me to walk with him more. At that time, I felt that the late emperor had considered letting the seventh prince inherit the throne."

Liu Yu listened and thought for a while, and finally nodded. The old emperor did not just want to do it, but also did it. If it weren't for Liu Yu, the one who sat on the throne would be Su Zhe.

Liu Yu smiled as if he was ridiculed and said, "It's a pity that I was not attracted by the Seventh Prince. When I was paying food, I had a bad relationship. However, Ming Jin, who was a master of Huai, was appreciated by him."

Han Sheng also smiled and said, "I guess this was taken into account when the late emperor passed the throne. At that time, there was Yuan Bolang in Wen, and Wu was led by you and the young girl of the Xu family. It was said that you were usurping the throne. Later, I thought it was unlikely. After all, it was the late emperor who had insight into the opportunity and knew that you would help... the ninth prince achieved great things... Alas!"

When talking about Su Yan, Han Sheng also felt emotion. After all, Su Yan was defeated after only one year of emperor. Although it was still the second year of Qichang, there was no change in the era, and it was the end of the year when he spoke. There was a long news in the court that he wanted to change the era. Even the people of the Ministry of Rites seemed to be considering what year name to change every day.

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Ten years of personnel and affairs have changed a lot. Now, in two or three years, people and affairs are very different. Let's talk about the Seventh Prince, what kind of temper he is."

Han Sheng raised his hand and said hatefully: "If you want to talk about his temper, then you will be a donkey temper. Don't look back if you don't hit the wall. I remember when he was fourteen or five years old, the late emperor sent him out to lead troops to suppress the bandits. He insisted on capturing the bandits alive to show his plan. At that time, I didn't think he was resilient, but instead knew his mistakes but did not change. But he was still a little brainless. It was... he had no kindness, which was very different from the ninth prince..."

Liu Yu thought to himself that Han Sheng was indifferent to Su Yan in three words. However, Su Zhe and Su Yan were brothers, so Han Sheng could not help but compare them.

Han Sheng finally added: "Brother Liu, I have said so much, but in fact I just want to say that this matter is not simple. No matter what happened at the beginning, the Seventh Prince always feels that you snatched his throne. If he recognizes your enemy, he will not let go. If this matter has nothing to do with you, but it is only your fault that you have made great achievements. Now he can only find you to settle the score with you."

When Han Sheng said this, Liu Yu remembered that Su Yan had drunk some wine that day and said that in a hurry. Liu Yu could probably guess that when Su Yan, who was imprisoned, saw Su Zhe, he probably revealed all his "truth" at the beginning. Among them, Liu Yu helped usurp the throne. He only admitted this to Su Yan.
