    The Sanqing Sect suddenly launched a gathering of followers. Liu Yuke said he was expecting it, but he didn't expect that Su Zhe, the man behind the scenes, would do this.  Everyone knows that dogs will jump over the wall when they are in a hurry, but Su Zhe's jump over the wall immediately turned from behind the scenes to the public. The court was no longer clueless to smear the case.  In his heart, Liu Yu actually longed to get out of the way as soon as possible and face the enemy head-on. In terms of helpers, Liu Yu was confident that he would have more people and be more sure of winning.  However, after making it clear, Liu Yu also had to face up to many issues, such as the question of which side some veterans of the old dynasty were on. Although most people were sensible, Liu Yu was afraid that these veterans would take advantage of them. If  There are such generals in the army, so what happens next will be exciting.  In order to avoid mutiny in the army, Liu Yu was also more cautious in sending troops this time.  Although the South Chang'an Camp and the Dongshui Camp were sent out, and the generals were also from these two armies, Liu Yu made careful considerations on the leading generals. Some veterans of the old dynasty were transferred from the front line.  , and put them in charge of backup backup.  Liu Yu divided the march into two groups and let a group of new generals lead the charge into the battle. These veterans were naturally happy to pick up what was ready-made from behind.  The troops were dispatched on the second day of winter, and by the afternoon of the third day of winter, the army had basically surrounded Lang County. Although the South Chang'an Camp and Dongshui Camp sent only tens of thousands of troops this time, they were not even as many as the church members who gathered in the past.  But after all, these are regular troops, and even the local garrison cannot compete with them head-on, let alone the believers who have no faith and do not even have weapons and equipment.  Things are developing for the better, Liu Yu knows this very well.  But he always felt that something was not right. He had been worried about Su Zhe and the Sanqing Sect for so long.  Will it be resolved so smoothly?  By the evening of the third day of winter, the preparations of the frontline army were also continuously reported to Liu Yu in Chang'an City.  Liu Yu synthesized the battle reports and found that the front line was unusually calm. The religious people had gathered in large numbers, which meant that there was no deviation in the information. It was just that the group of people contacted by the Three Puritans did not show up. That means  .  Su Zhe, as the leader of the Three Puritans Sect and the initiator of the congregation gathering, did not appear in Lang County at all.  Without a leader, the parishioners gathered and didn¡¯t know what to do. The small Lang County was completely occupied by this group of parishioners. It was said that there were people everywhere in and outside the city, and the lives of the local people were disturbed.  After the army was sent over.  The situation is worse.  Later, when the army to counter the rebellion arrived, they also began to encourage the Catholics to leave. Many Catholics felt regretful that they had not been able to worship God this time because the imperial court's campaign to purge the Three Puritans had not yet ended, and there were also conflicts between these Catholics and the officers and soldiers.  There were some conflicts.  However, what happened on the third day of winter were all minor conflicts.  There were no large-scale fights or killings. Even if there were casualties, it was accidental and did not cause any major disputes.  After Liu Yu received the news that night, his heart felt extremely heavy.  He seemed to have fallen into some kind of trap.  It's just that the way the trap was set up was so special that he couldn't explain why for a while.  The generals in the imperial court.  Including the ministers of the Ministry of War who had just returned to Chang'an City, they gathered in the Yaqian Hall of the palace overnight for a meeting to discuss the war.  It is a little different from the previous counterinsurgency campaigns. These things happened right at home. After all, Lang County is a small county near Chang'an. When something like this happens, no one can go back to sleep peacefully. They are also afraid that there will be a disturbance ahead. Chang'an  Johto is panicking, although the chances of this happening are low.  There are no absolutes in everything.  After several discussions that night, the people in the Ministry of War had no clue. Almost everyone believed that the Sanqing Sect originally thought that the gathering was kept secret and would not be noticed by the court. Now that the news has leaked, they are still cautious.  Chongzhi sent a large army 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 make sense, Liu Yu understands that things are not that simple.  If this is the case, then the only chance for the Three Puritans to succeed is gone. It can be said that Su Zhe has bid farewell to the throne. Will he go into exile in the future, or continue to secretly preach around Chang'an City? In any case, the Three Puritans will also  Will gradually be abandoned by most people of Shun Dynasty.  If this is really the case, then what exactly has Su Zhe been doing all these years?  He didn't expect that one day the court would discover his conspiracy, and Liu Yu would purge the Three Puritans. He just wanted to gather the believers. With so many people gathering, he didn't think the court would get wind of it in advance?  There was no result that night, and Liu Yu did not leave anyone from the Ministry of War to spend the night in the palace. When it was almost midnight, Liu Yu asked everyone to go back to his house to rest, and then go to the Yamen of the Ministry of War to talk the next day.  After dismissing the people from the Ministry of War, Liu Yu suddenly felt that there was no helper around him, mainly because he was too arbitrary and others did not dare to say too much in front of him.  As a foreigner, he indeed lacks trust and communication with the people around him.  Liu Yu thought for a while, now he can?Perhaps Han Sheng was the only one who had some opinions on him, because in the whole court, Han Sheng was the only one who had something to do with both the autistic and tyrannical Chu King Su Zhe and the leisurely and leisurely him.  When he went to visit Su Zhe at the Prince of Chu's Mansion, it was Han Sheng who introduced him.  It was already very late, and Liu Yu originally planned to go to Han Sheng to talk about the matter the next day, but Han Sheng was always at the Shangshutai Yamen, which was originally located in the palace.  When Han Sheng heard that the Ministry of War officials and military generals had dispersed in Yaqian Hall, he hurried over to Liu Yu and took the initiative to tell him something.  "Brother Han, if you don't come, I was just going to find you." Liu Yu asked Han Sheng to sit down in the Yaqian Hall. At the same time, he also sent all the female officials out so that he could communicate with Han Sheng without anyone disturbing him.  .  "I've heard a little bit about the situation in Lang County." Han Sheng sat down on the chair, looked at Liu Yu and smiled slightly, "It seems that the chaos has calmed down too smoothly. Even I feel that this  It¡¯s not very common sense.¡± Liu Yu smiled. After all, it was Han Sheng who understood his thoughts. Although Han Sheng was old and half-buried, he still had to figure out other people¡¯s psychology because he had been in the officialdom for so many years.  , or doing intelligence work, he also has his own way.  "Brother Han, after all, there is some friendship between you and the Seventh Prince. Brother Han, tell me, what kind of person is he? In other words, based on his style, what is going on?  " Han Sheng sighed helplessly and said: "Brother Liu, you want me to put myself in his position and think about what is going on. Then I might as well speak frankly" Upon hearing this, Liu Yu said with a smile:  "But it doesn't matter." Han Sheng smiled bitterly and said: "You misunderstood what I meant. Actually, I want to say that there are only two people in this world, and I can't understand them at all. One is you, and the other is Bian.  It's him. Brother Liu, from the very beginning, I never thought that you would be involved in government affairs. I always thought that you should be insignificant and just be ordinary, so forget it. Who knows that you are not only involved in government affairs,  The methods are extremelyunexpected" Liu Yu knew that Han Sheng was saying that he was ruthless in his actions, so he couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Han, please don't belittle me, talk about the Seventh Prince." Han Sheng also sighed.  One sentence said: "As for the Seventh Prince, he has been different from ordinary children since he was a child. It may have something to do with the character of his mother, Mrs. Yi. He is very autistic and no one usually talks to him. That's why he behaves a bit weirdly.  When the late emperor was still alive, he often told me that he, the seventh prince, was good at everything but not good at communicating with others. He also asked me to walk around with him more. At that time, I felt that the late emperor had considered letting the seventh prince inherit the throne.  "Liu Yu listened, thought for a while, and finally nodded.  The old emperor not only thought but also did this. If it weren't for Liu Yu, Su Zhe would be sitting on the throne now.  Liu Yu smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "It's a pity that I was not favored by the Seventh Prince. When we were paying for the food, our relationship was not very good. However, Mingjin, who is the King of Huai's meticulous work, was appreciated by him." Han Sheng also laughed.  He smiled and said: "When the late emperor passed the throne, he probably took this into consideration. At that time, there was Yuan Bolang in the civil service, and you and the daughter of the Xu family were in charge of the military affairs. At first, there were rumors outside that you usurped the throne, but later I thought it was impossible.  , in the final analysis, it was the late emperor who saw the opportunity and knew that you would help the Ninth Prince achieve great things Alas!" Han Sheng also sighed when he mentioned Su Yan. After all, Su Yan was pulled down after being the emperor for just over a year.  Although it is still the second year of Qichang, there has been no change to the reign name, and it will be the end of the year as we speak. There have been rumors in the court about changing the reign name, and even the people in the Ministry of Rites seem to be thinking about which reign name to change more appropriately every day.  Liu Yu said with a smile: "There have been many changes in personnel and affairs in the past ten years. Now, after two or three years of changes, people and things are completely different. Let's talk about the seventh prince, what kind of temper he has." Han Sheng raised his hand and hated it.  Said: "If you want to talk about his temper, then he has the temper of a donkey. He will not look back until he hits the south wall. I remember when he was fourteen or fifteen years old, the late emperor sent him out to lead troops to suppress bandits. He insisted on capturing the bandits alive one by one to show his strength.  At that time, I didn¡¯t think he was tenacious, but he knew his mistakes and refused to correct them. But after all, he had no sense of kindness, which was very different from the Ninth Prince" Liu Yu.  I secretly thought that Han Sheng never left Su Yan.  However, Su Zhe and Su Yan were brothers, so Han Sheng could not help but compare them.  Han Sheng finally added: "Brother Liu, what I have said so much is actually to say that this matter is not simple. No matter what it was like at the beginning, the seventh prince always felt that you had robbed him of the throne. He was sure of it.  As an enemy, you won¡¯t let go. If this matter comes up, it has nothing to do with you, but it¡¯s just because of your superiority that now he can only settle the score with you.¡± Han Sheng said this, Liu said.  The more he remembered, Su Yan had drunk some wine that day and said those words out of desperation.  Liu Yu could probably guess that Su Yan, who was imprisoned, sawZhe, he probably revealed all his "truth" back then.  Among them was the fact that he, Liu Yu, helped usurp the throne. He only admitted this to Su Yan.
