Chapter 2209: Breaking up the skin and confronting each other head-on
In the interception and killing at the palace gate just now, although Liu Yu was protected by Liu Er, he also participated in the fight personally, so his body was covered with blood stains.
The reason why he went to the palace with bloodstains all over his body was naturally Liu Yu's intention, in order to frighten the civil and military ministers of Liu Ji's faction, give them a warning, and at the same time announce the news that Liu Yu was back.
From the current point of view, the effect of Liu Yu's show of force is very obvious. Everyone present was shocked and couldn't believe that Liu Yu could survive Wu Ban's interception.
Seeing this, Liu Yu smiled coldly, his eyes full of coldness, and glanced at the ministers.
Seeing Liu Yu looking over, Zhang Song, Qiao Zhou, Gong Lu, Cheng Ji, Pang Xi and other surrendered ministers all looked ashamed and lowered their heads in unison, avoiding Liu Yu's sight.
They were originally Liu Yu's subordinates, and Liu Yu also gave them important positions. However, when Liu Yu was in decline, they rebelled and surrendered to Liu Ji.
After the surrender, Liu Yu not only did not threaten their families, but even took the initiative to send their families back.
Therefore, Liu Yu did not feel sorry for them in any way. On the contrary, they felt sorry for Liu Yu, his old master.
Now that Liu Yu has returned to Chengdu, these surrenders are naturally the most embarrassed and have no face to face their former masters.
Zhang Song, Qiao Zhou and others felt that they were too embarrassed to meet Liu Yu, but there was one exception, and he was Wu Yi.
Not only did Wu Yi dare to look directly at Liu Yu, but he also had a cold face and murderous intent in his eyes, because Liu Yu was holding a human head in his hand, which was the head of his brother Wu Ban.
"hehe."
Liu Yu smiled coldly, looked directly into the eyes of everyone, and strode into the hall with Wu Ban's head, followed closely by Liu Er.
After entering the palace, Liu Yu saluted Liu Bian and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Yu, is here to see you."
Liu Bian thought that Liu Yu would die, and he felt despair in his heart. He thought that he would bear the blame, but he did not expect that Liu Yu would appear in front of him alive. All of a sudden, he was filled with joy, happiness, and other emotions, and he ran straight away. He grabbed Liu Yu's hand and said excitedly: "Brother Wang, just be okay, just be okay."
Seeing Liu Bian's attitude, Liu Yu was relieved. Although he guessed that Wu Ban was Liu Ji's person who was ambushing Liu Bian, what if?
What if Liu Bian is not smart and wants to get rid of his ally before killing Liu Ji?
Even if this possibility is extremely low, Liu Yu still has this worry, but now it seems that Liu Bian should not know about the interception and killing at the palace gate.
"Thanks to His Majesty's great blessing, I was able to escape this disaster."
Liu Yu said humbly, after all, Liu Bian is now his most important ally, and he cannot fall out with Liu Bian until he defeats Liu Ji and takes power completely.
When Liu Bian saw that Liu Yu was so humble and respectful towards him, his feelings for him greatly increased. Just as he was about to speak, Wu Yi on the other side jumped in and attacked him.
"Liu Yu, even if you go to the palace covered in blood, and you even have a human head with you, you are disrespecting His Majesty. Do you want to rebel..."
Before Wu Yi finished speaking, he was frightened by Liu Yu's eyes. Those eyes were cold and biting, as if he were looking at a dead man. Even though Wu Yi had been in battle for a long time, he was frightened and speechless.
"This is the head of Wu Ban, the palace guard."
Liu Yu raised Wu Ban's head and showed it to the ministers. Then he smashed it at Wu Yi's feet and said coldly: "Wu Ban claimed that he was ordered by your Majesty to eliminate thieves for the country. I dare to ask Your Majesty, have you ever done so?" Have you given such an order?"
"I swear to God that I have never issued this order. If you tell any lies, I will be struck by thunder."
Liu Bian swore with a serious face. Now he couldn't believe anyone except Liu Yu. If he wanted to gain Liu Yu's trust, he had to show his attitude. Swearing was only the first step.
Liu Yu nodded, walked up to Wu Yi, and sneered: "Since His Majesty has never issued this order, it means that Wu Ban is falsely passing on the imperial edict.
In accordance with His Majesty's imperial decree, I led my army thousands of miles here just to resist the southern barbarians and protect our country.
But Wu Ban ignored the Han Dynasty and pretended to pass on the imperial edict in order to murder the king.
Wu Ziyuan, Wu Ban is a member of your Wu family, shouldn’t you give me an explanation?”
Under Liu Yu's pressing step by step, Wu Yi's face became paler and paler, his legs became weak, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat, but he had to grit his teeth and hold on for the sake of his family.
"This is all Wu Ban's personal behavior and has nothing to do with my Wu family. Besides, Wu Ban announced his withdrawal from the Wu family three days ago." Wu Yi argued.
Snap, snap, snap.
Liu Yu clapped his hands and sneered: "Do you think you can clear up the relationship in this way? Where is Zhang Song?"
"exist."
Suddenly called by Liu Yu, Zhang Song was startled at first and walked out subconsciously, but then he realized something was wrong. He was no longer Liu Yu's subordinate, and he suddenly had the urge to slap himself.
"Zhang Song, you were once in charge of Yizhou's laws. Tell me, what is the crime of falsely preaching the imperial edict? How should it be punished?" Liu Yu sneered.
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhang Song broke out in cold sweat on his forehead and stammered: "False, false transmission of the imperial edict is treason, and the nine tribes should be punished."
After saying this, Zhang Song immediately stepped back, fearing that Liu Yu was still questioning him.
Liu Yu did not continue to embarrass Zhang Song. Instead, he stared at Wu Yi and sneered: "Did you hear that? Wu Ban committed treason and should be punished. Do you think that unilaterally telling him to leave the Wu family would be enough?"
Can I exonerate your Wu family?"
"This, this..."
Wu Yi was completely panicked. He looked around the court, hoping that someone would stand up and speak for him. But Liu Yu was standing here now, and no one dared to stand up and speak for him. Otherwise, what would Liu Yu do if he turned against them?
Seeing that no one could speak for him, Wu Yi was completely desperate, and Liu Yu was ready to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. Wu Yi and the Wu family were the chickens.
"Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for me."
Looking at Liu Yu kneeling in front of him, Liu Bian was stunned. He had no idea that Liu Yu could force Wu Yi and the Wu family into a dead end with a single backhand. Naturally, he felt extremely happy in his heart.
"Uh-huh, Wu Ban pretended to pass on the imperial edict, plotted to kill the King of Chengdu, and passed on my edict..."
"Wait a minute."
A familiar voice came, obviously not loud, but like thunder, exploding in everyone's ears, but everyone's eyes widened unconsciously.
Everyone, including Liu Yu and Liu Bian, subconsciously looked outside the hall and saw a person in a wheelchair being pushed over. They were none other than Shu King Liu Ji and military advisor Chen Ping.
"Liu Ji."
Seeing that the person coming was Liu Jishi, Liu Yu's eyes widened immediately, and then he felt dizzy. If Liu Er hadn't caught him in time, he would have made a fool of himself and fell over.
Although Liu Yu did not fall to the ground, his face was full of despair. At this time, he only had one thought in his mind, that is, it was over.
"Su Qin mistook me."
Liu Yu wailed in his heart, no longer as domineering as before.
