Originally, it was nothing to kill a few people, but Liu Yu didn't even spare the group of Confucian scholars and Confucian officials in Huaibei Province, let alone a group of students. But the crux of the matter is that at the cusp of the storm, when the imperial court was about to work together to unite with the outside world, an incident like this "that shocked the allies" occurred. When the students caused trouble, it was equivalent to turning the public opinion in Chang'an City towards the Three Puritans. There was a push over there. As Lian Husheng killed students at the palace gate and then hung some student representatives on the palace gate for public display, more people participated in this "farce" to denounce the imperial court, first some officials from the Ministry of Rites, and then some court officials Zhonglaochen, they received the news quickly, and immediately they expressed their support for this group of students and denounced the imperial court's ban on Buddhism and Taoism. "Who said that the imperial court wanted to ban Buddhism and Taoism?" Liu Yu didn't want to make the matter too big, so he directly called all the officials from the Ministry of Rites and Taixue and university teachers who came to cheer for the students to the courtyard outside Yaqian Hall, and publicly banned himself. reiterated his position, "Last night, we just wanted to search for possible gangsters and cult members hiding in the Buddhist temple. The purpose of searching the Taoist temple is the same. Whether it is a monk or an ordinary Buddhist and Taoist believer, after calming down the matter, they will let They returned to Buddhist temples and Taoist temples to continue their practice. The imperial court had no intention of banning Buddhism or Taoism!" After Liu Yu finished speaking, the officials and teachers below were still very dissatisfied. In fact, they were very dissatisfied with Liu Yu himself. Not satisfied. Taking advantage of the incident of killing students at the palace gate, they came even more confidently, thinking that Liu Yu's actions could only prove that he was lying. The fact was that Liu Yu could not tolerate the existence of religion in the Dashun Dynasty. This was true for the Three Purities and Buddhism and Taoism. in this way. At this time. People who come to denounce in the face of passionate public sentiment. Liu Yu knew that these people would not give up unless they did something. Originally, he just wanted to quickly appease those in the DPRK who had objections to this. He didn't expect that there were so many people who had opinions. So far, he could only deal with Lian Husheng first and suppress the limelight for the time being. Liu Yu ordered Lien Husheng to be imprisoned and await his fate. At the same time, he completely handed over the palace guards to the new army. He temporarily assigned Huo Bing as the presidential leader of the palace guards, and at the same time rebuilt the organization of the Imperial Guard Army. Liu Yu issued several political orders with a face in Yaqian Hall. Finally, the anger of the group of people outside was temporarily suppressed, and as far as Liu Yu knew, the group of students at the entrance of the palace had still not dispersed, and more and more people were gathering. "Dear ministers." After Liu Yu issued the decree, he walked out of Yaqian Hall again and said in front of everyone, "Now is the time when the imperial court is facing internal and external troubles. If the problem of the Three Puritans is not handled well, the city of Chang'an will not be peaceful. Then the Turks in the north, Goryeo in the northeast, and other countries in the western regions will all plot to conquer the territory of the Dashun Dynasty" Liu Yu deliberately sounded serious. Elevating the level of the problem to the security of the country and the nation, all this made him feel that he was following the script, "You should hurry up and persuade those scholars to go back, and the court will explain it to them. In addition, if Yonghou leads the troops to the palace Come on, we won¡¯t just kill one or two people at that time, we will kill many more. Don¡¯t say that the court is ruthless, but you can say that I am ruthless!¡± Even those who are familiar with Liu Yu felt a deep feeling in their hearts when they heard Liu Yu¡¯s words. A feeling of fear emerged. Liu Yu was warning these people that if the group of students were not persuaded to leave quickly, the court might carry out a massacre at the gate of the palace. They were all thinking, isn't this King Lin afraid of being infamy for all eternity? Liu Yu doesn¡¯t care about being infamy or not. His principle is to live in the present. Whoever makes him uncomfortable will be made ten times more uncomfortable. Now Lian Sheng is killing people just to make him a warning. Since the goal has not been achieved, it has made these people even more unscrupulous. Thinking that justice is on their side, they can be so unscrupulous and make him uncomfortable. Then he has no reason to sit back and do nothing. Instead, It doesn't matter if you kill a million people as a warning. Liu Yu saw that the officials who stood up for the students outside had no intention of leaving for the time being, so he returned to Yaqian Hall with a cold snort. While he was blaming Lian Husheng, an evil fire also arose in his heart. He insisted on giving a lesson to these Confucian scholars and students who were so arrogant that they thought they were great and were in charge of etiquette, law and public opinion. Seeing that Liu Yu's expression was abnormal, Han Sheng quickly persuaded him: "Brother Liu, don't mess around for now. Let me go and persuade them first. They will listen to what I say." Liu Yu waved his hand and said: "Thank you, Brother Han." Liu Yu saw Han Sheng going out and glanced at Sui Yu who was sitting beside him. The disaster relief matter had been discussed and was about to be implemented when something like this happened. Liu Yu wanted to discuss this matter with Sui Yu. In fact, he just wanted to find a listener and "exchange feelings" by the way. At this time, Liao Mingsheng, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was outside seeking an audience. Liao Mingsheng came here before. Liu Yu arranged some things for him, and Liao Mingsheng left. Who knew he would come back again. Liu Yu didn't know yet, but he actually revealed the idea of ??killing one person as a warning to Lian Husheng, and Liao Mingsheng was actually the mastermind behind it. Liao Mingsheng knew how to grasp Liu Yu¡¯s thoughts. In fact, what he said was right. Liu Yu did not have a good impression of those students. Liu Yu, who was in power, and the students who challenged the power obviously would not get along well, but Liao Mingsheng also knew that , with Liu Yu's current status, it is difficult to deal with that group of students, and he will not be the one who stands out. So he had to indirectly reveal the middle joint to Lian Husheng, and let Lian Husheng, a "fool", light the explosive barrel. The matter was done, and he was not responsible. It avenged Lian Jisheng's disrespect for him, and Liu Yu could get through it easily. He achieved multiple things with one stone. "Mingsheng, why did you come back?" Liu Yu was not very friendly to Liao Mingsheng who interrupted his exchange of ideas with Sui Yu, and looked at him with a bit of anger. His eyes seemed to remind Liao Mingsheng that you should not be here at this time. "Your Majesty, I have a list here, which I have just summarized and dedicated to Your Majesty for reference." Liu Yu frowned. In the past few days, Liao Mingsheng has indeed submitted a lot of "lists". In fact, Liao Mingsheng passed the investigation and A list of officials in the imperial court who had contact with the Three Puritans was obtained. There is a mix of people in this list. Some may be related to the Three Puritans, some may just be sympathetic, or have relatives in the family who have participated in the activities of the Three Puritans or are religious believers. Liu Yu feels that dealing with these matters will cause The impact was too big, so I just kept it in check and didn't make any fuss about it. "List? Bring it here." Liu Yu wanted to see how Liao Mingsheng's list was different from the previous one. Liao Mingsheng handed over the list. Liu Yu couldn't help frowning after reading it. Although Liu Yu was in his current position, he knew the names of people in the government and government offices even if he was not familiar with them. However, these names were very uncommon. He looked at them for a long time. There were only a few people he seemed to have met before, but he couldn't remember which yamen they were from. Liu Yu did not deal with those important government officials. Liu Yu did not want to embarrass these people. But Liu Yu seemed to understand something from the slightly sinister smile on Liao Mingsheng's face. "These are the lists of students." Liu Yu asked. "Your Majesty Mingjian, this is indeed the case. I first went to investigate the few students who were killed and found out that they were related to the Three Purities Sect and were bewitched by the Three Purities Sect to cause trouble with the court. As I thought. , it should be that even the general knew this, so he fought against him and killed a few people to set the record straight. "Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh, this Liao Mingsheng is really good at smoothing things over. So, isn't it tantamount to framing someone? But Liu Yu thought about it and realized that this was indeed a good idea. As soon as the list was announced, it would be said that these students had colluded with cults such as the Sanqing Sect. The Sanqing Sect first arranged for some people to set fire to the city to cause chaos, and then used They worked hard in universities and colleges to instigate students to cause trouble. It's just that the imperial court was "clearly aware of everything" and discovered it in advance, so he killed him as a warning to others. Liu Yu looked at Sui Yu, and Sui Yu immediately averted his eyes. Liu Yu sighed bitterly in his heart. Only Sui Yu heard what Liao Mingsheng said. Sui Yu also knew what he was going to do, which was to frame those students. It is related to the Three Puritans. Whether this matter is small or big, it's just a matter of officialdom, whatever it is. "What do you think of Sui Zhongshu Ling?" Liu Yu asked Sui Yu. Sui Yu was afraid that Liu Yu would ask for her opinion on this matter, so based on her character, she tried not to get involved in the power struggle between the DPRK and China. Once they met, she also chose to watch, because her main purpose of entering the court was that she really liked to prove her abilities, especially in front of Liu Yu, and she wanted to maintain the Sui family's status in Chang'an City in the future. . The Sui family's sudden rise from a merchant family to a popular official family in Chang'an City had a lot to do with her rise in status. Her popularity was even higher than that of her brother Sui Yi. "Your Majesty" Sui Yu lowered her head slightly and asked like a little woman, "Can you not ask?" Liu Yu smiled, he understood what Sui Yu meant, even if she heard it, she pretended not to hear it. Liu Yu did not make a clear statement immediately and said to Liao Mingsheng: "Mingsheng will do this for the time being. As for the method, you can decide for yourself." Liao Mingsheng also had a wry smile in his heart. He came to offer Liu Yu advice this time, but Liu Yu did not accept it. Instead, kick the ball back to him. Although it gives him the power to make a decision, it is also equivalent to giving him an unguaranteed promise. Whether he handles it well or not is really similar to Lian Jisheng. Everything must be subordinated to the interests and gains of the political power struggle. Even if he does things well, he may be held accountable by Liu Yu afterwards. But Liao Mingsheng is very "sensible". He understands that the only way for him to rise to power is to rely on Liu Yu's promotion. Now is when Liu Yu has a problem. If he can't jump out and solve it, then what's the use of Liu Yu keeping him by his side? If he refuses to take on this dirty work, then he will just wait to be a small official somewhere, and he won't have to do anything. "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know how to do it. I will go talk to the people outside and tell them why General Lian killed those students" "Yes." Liu Yu nodded and said nothing more. Now that Liao Mingsheng is by his side, he does do some "bad things" without him having to do it himself, which saves a lot of trouble.
