Chapter 678: The end of the song is scattered (Part 2)

The second year of Qichang in the Dashun Dynasty was a major turning point in Shun Dynasty politics. First, Emperor Xiaowen Su Yan abdicated the throne in the first month. After eleven months, Emperor Xiaowen wanted to restore the throne and was killed in Fengcui Palace.

In order to commemorate Emperor Xiaowen Su Yan, Liu Yu did not change the reign, and continued to use the Qichang reign until the sixth year of Qichang, before the reign was changed.

Su Yan's party was killed with Su Yan and Su Bi, and Chai Jin was completely destroyed after being imprisoned. The three Puritans in Chang'an City were also wiped out in this battle. However, no one knew whereabouts of the leader Su Zhe. Although Liu Liniang had investigated Su Zhe's general whereabouts, he needed to use manpower and material resources to search. In order to ensure the stability of Chang'an City, Liu Yu did not send troops to conduct this large-scale search, but he still asked Liu Liniang and her subordinates to continue to secretly investigate.

With Su Yan's death, Han Sheng's resignation was another big blow to Liu Yu.

Han Sheng was loyal to the Su family's Jiye. Although Su Yan's death was not caused by Liu Yu's own hands, Liu Yu's reputation for usurping the throne has been recorded in history and cannot be changed. As an old minister of the previous dynasty, Han Sheng chose to retire and return home for Liu Yu's in-laws to completely eliminate his own officialdom.

Liu Yu arranged for the direct officials on the 16th day of the 12th lunar month, and was also his old friend Sui Yi as prime minister. In less than two days later, Sui Yi was dismissed from the position of right prime minister and formally appointed former Secretary Sui Yu as prime minister. Sui Yu became the helmsman of Dashunchao, who was above tens of thousands of people, and was the helmsman of female.

On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month of the second year of Qichang, nearly half a month after the bloody battle at the Cuigong Palace in the Imperial Palace, Chang'an City had basically calmed down under the implementation of the Huairou policy after Sui Yu entered the cabinet as prime minister. The army first withdrew, and then a series of government orders were implemented in the imperial court, which greatly promoted favors. All walks of life in Chang'an City and the lives of the people had returned to normal.

On this day, Liu Yu personally led a new army to the Wuzhen Mosque on Wangshun Mountain more than 100 miles away from Chang'an City. The day before, the princes and monks from the Tianzhu Kingdom also arrived here.

There were no famous generals who walked with Liu Yu, but only Liu Liniang in general uniform. This trip was also arranged by Liu Liniang. Liu Yu arrived just to completely settle something that he had always been worried about.

When he arrived at the blue valley of Wangshun Mountain, Liu Yu got off his horse. He looked up at the Buddhist temple among the mountains. Because the sky was cloudy, he was hidden in the clouds and mist, and could not see the whole picture of the mountain. Liu Yu arranged for Liu Liniang to go up the mountain first and block the path of people in the Buddhist temple from the flanks. Then he personally led Liu Liniang, led the guards and new soldiers to step across the mountain gate, climbed the thousand-level stairs, and arrived in front of Wuzhen Mosque.

Unlike the Buddhist temples in Chang'an City, Wuzhen Mosque is located between mountains, except for some major Buddhist festivals every year. It is not open to outsiders, and it is also in the dense forests of the mountains. It seems very calm at this time. It is like a shelter outside the world in the mountains, without monks or incense.

Liu Yu looked at the surrounding environment and said nothing. He reached out and made a gesture. The soldiers behind him rushed forward quickly and wanted to forcefully enter the main hall of the Buddhist temple. However, he saw a little novice monk who was so scared that he could not see the seven souls. Seeing that Liu Yu and other soldiers were holding weapons in their hands, they were sitting there screaming, as if crying, and as if they were venting news.

Liu Yu didn't say much nonsense. He went straight forward and wanted to enter the palace gate. The little shaman wanted to stop him, but the soldiers pressed him to the ground. Liu Yu glanced at the little shaman, turned around and passed the palace gate, and came to the front with a smiling middle-aged monk with a greasy face. He didn't look like an ordinary monk, but he didn't look like a Middle-earth man, with a very outline of an Indian horse face.

"This donor came from afar, I don't know who he is looking for?" He talked about the Chinese pronunciation, but his tone was twisted and turns, not like he had just learned it, just like a Chinese dialect who insisted on pretending to be a foreigner and to deviate from his tone.

"Take it!"

At Liu Yu's order, the middle-aged monk was directly pressed down by the guards. The middle-aged monk was shouting "What to do, what to do" and was about to struggle. At this time, the guards had already rushed into the small gates of the back hall on both sides of the huge Buddha statue.

Soon, the sound of soldiers and swords intersecting came from inside. Liu Yu knew that the person he was looking for was inside.

The sound of war and gunfire continued from the back hall to the side hall behind the back hall. When the sound of the back hall faded, Liu Yu personally took his men and horses around the back hall and went directly to a platform. Next to the platform was a cliff, but on the opposite side, there were a group of monks, holding their swords and sticks, as if they were trying to defend the back hall. Liu Yu glanced at him and saw the person he was looking for. He was about to order a forcibly attack, but the opposite side blocked the way with gunpowder and firecrackers.

"There are monks from the Tianzhu Kingdom inside, what are you going to do?" a white-bearded old monk shouted.

"Don't you be a monk from Tianzhu." A guard shouted, "You know the truth and surrender!"

As soon as the guard finished speaking, the other side threw firecrackers over, trying to completely block the soldiers' way forward. But at the same time, Liu Yu arranged for the soldiers who flanked the mountain to enter the back hall of Wuzhen Mosque from the side. The monks guarding the platform outside the back hall were attacked from the front and back and obviously could not support it, so they fled into the back hall. They originally wanted to close the door and fight the army to fight to the death, but before the gate was closed, the soldiers had already rushed in.

Then a more tragic sound of firefighting sounded, accompanied by a scream.

Not long after, the resistance in the back hall had been calmed down. Liu Yu personally brought people into the back hall, and saw many corpses of monks lying on the ground, but still no one was looking for. Several monks captured alive looked determined, but except for the Indians with a big face outside, none of them had the characteristics of Indians in the back hall, they were all ordinary Central Plains monks.

Liu Yu showed a confident smile on his face. He did not continue to ask the prisoners in front of him, but made a "kill" gesture. Soon there was no living in the palace. The "Indian" who was taken in behind was frightened and shouted: "I know, the secret you want, don't kill me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he had been shot in the chest. It was Liu Yu himself who fired it.

"No living stool is left around the Buddhist temple, regardless of whether it is involved!" Liu Yu gave the last order and took Liu Liniang and a group of guards out of the Buddhist temple and went straight down the mountain.

Liu Yu did not want to leave, but went to a place in the back mountain. In a dense forest, he saw the guards sending signals with fireworks from afar. Liu Yu rode his horse to the middle of the dense forest, but saw several monks wearing monks' robes trapped and tied up in the grass by the guards.

Liu Yu stepped forward and the guard came up to report the situation. Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction.

After Liu Yu came, the monk who was in charge was lifted up by the guards in the cassock and collar. When Liu Yu saw this person, he showed a cold smile on his face. Although he hadn't seen him for a long time, Liu Yu could still recognize him at a glance. This was Su Zhe who he had been looking for in recent years.

When Su Zhe saw Liu Yu, he had no sad expression on his face, but just smiled coldly, and there was a gloomy atmosphere of a hero's unsuccessful look.

"What else do you do besides digging tunnels?" Liu Yu asked with a sneer.

Su Zhe did not answer, but just snorted coldly. The next second, Liu Yu had already drawn out his sword and stabbed directly into Su Zhe's throat, without giving him any chance to say anything.

When Su Zhe fell to the ground and struggled, and then he remained motionless, the big stone in Liu Yu's chest finally fell down.

What Liu Yu sighed about was Su Yan who died in Fengcui Palace. Before Su Yan died, he thought Su Zhe used his life to fulfill his throne, but he did not know that Su Zhe was just hiding evil intentions and used him.

"Kill on the spot and bury it. Today's matters must not be mentioned to outsiders!" Liu Yu gave the order, and the soldiers immediately took action, killing the person and burying the body. Liu Yu also had to return to Chang'an City. In another three days, the beginning of the New Year, and Liu Yu no longer wanted to worry about hatred.

The end of a period of hatred is also the beginning of a new life.

PS: There are one or two chapters left, and the novel is completely completed. How to write it in the end needs to be considered a little.

Perhaps the novel has ended from the moment Su Yan ascended the throne, and the subsequent content is just a dog-tail continuation.
Chapter completed!
