The palace is still under high security, with only one main gate open. The city gate is even more closed, and the martial law orders in the city have not been lifted yet.

The court officials sitting outside the Yaqian Hall began to call them to enter the hall to speak according to the yamen. It was lunch time at this time. Many court officials had not had water and rice since the morning, and now they could not eat a meal and they could not be called Ansheng rice.

Liu Yu took advantage of the opportunity when Su Yan met the court officials and Yang Lie had been waiting at the door for a while.

"Commander Liu, things are a little bad. The people sent to welcome the King of Chu have not yet sent back their letters!" Since Yang Lie became the right commander of the Imperial Guard, he has taken over some of the agents and intelligence work. Most of the secret spies sent to "welcome" the King of Chu this time were also from Yang Lie's subordinates.

Liu Yu frowned. His most worried was that he had not removed the roots.

Qian Hui, the Minister of Rites, disappeared for no reason. If he contacted King Su Zhe of Chu, what would endanger the orthodox handle of the throne of Su Yan. A trace of wind would cause a big wave and would easily be taken advantage of by others.

King Huai!

Just like the old emperor's criteria for choosing heirs, no matter who becomes the emperor, he must first stand the challenge of being a huge power and respecting King Huai. The reason why King Huai has not been able to withstand the challenge of revering King Huai over the years is because he thinks he has no certainty of victory. This is determined by many elements. The most important thing is that he lacks the support of public opinion. His brother Su Yunyang is stable in becoming the emperor. Without excuses such as "clearing the king", it is difficult to issue soldiers.

Liu Yu was afraid that the King of Chu would fall in love with King Huai, because there was a detailed work of King Huai by the King of Chu, Mingjin.

"One is the King of Chu and the other is the money back. You must find it out and let them stand in front of me!" Liu Yu gave a death order to Yang Lie.

Yang Lie took the order and left. Now the defense of the palace has basically been taken over by another new right commander Lan Jing. Yang Lie is fully responsible for the arrest of money and "welcoming back" the King of Chu. This errand seems simple, but Yang Lie also understands the urgency of the incident. Liu Yu and his intelligence work were also handed over to him, which is to train him to be the president of the Imperial Army. For this reason, Yang Lie worked harder to do his job.

It was already noon after Su Yan met the court officials, which was the hottest time of the day. The court officials waited in the open space for a morning, and finally waited for the will to disband the court. With the departure of the court officials, Yuan Bolang and others also surrendered one after another. Only Liu Yu and Su Yan, as well as a few palace maids were left in the Yaqian Hall.

"Can you... go down?" Su Yan looked at the palace maids in a "discussed" tone.

The palace maids were frightened and hurriedly stepped out of the hall. Xu Xuanzhu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have to go back to handle some female military affairs, so I will leave."

"Master's wife, go slowly." Su Yan nodded and said respectfully.

When there were only two masters and apprentices left in Yaqian Palace, Su Yan finally let go of his restrained mood and relaxed, with a smile on his face.

"Master, did you know I would be the emperor for a long time?"

"How could I know in advance?" Without others, Liu Yu stopped being polite and changed into his usual tone, nor did he have as much red tape as between the monarch and the ministers.

Su Yan said with a puzzled look on his face: "Master, why did you ask me to go to the mansion to make trouble? I can't figure it out. The father was so angry that day. He poured a large basin of cold water on my head. He woke up all the wine at that time. I thought my father would definitely send me to a remote place to be King Yu, but I didn't expect to be the emperor today. It's still like dreaming."

"There are many things that cannot be explained to you. Don't think too much about it. Be your emperor with peace of mind. If you have troubles, you can help you solve them." Liu Yu said, "Sleep and have a rest. You have to go to Zhengying Palace to watch the spirits at night! I also want to go back and rest."

"Master is leaving?" Su Yan jumped off the kang and just put his shoes on his feet: "I'll leave the palace with the master and be a companion on the road."

Liu Yu frowned and said, "You are the emperor now, and the palace is your residence. Even Xiaoyu will move to the inner court to live with you. Why is it that I left the palace with me?"

Su Yan was stunned and smiled and said, "That's right. But Master, my family has not been cleaned up yet, and there are a lot of things to be moved here."

"If you have something, just ask the guards and the eunuch to do it. Also, you are surrounded by dangers, don't mess around!"

Su Yan couldn't understand Liu Yu's words and nodded in confusion. In fact, Liu Yu reminded him not to be proud. There were countless palace maids in the palace. He used to have a criminal record of a little palace maid. Now that he became an emperor, if something happened during the national mourning, it would cast a shadow on his throne.

After leaving Yaqian Hall, Xu Xuanzhu was waiting for him at the door.

This time, there was warmth in the distress, and the couple's relationship was improved. Originally, Xu Xuanzhu could have gone home first, but she still couldn't let it go and wanted to walk with Liu Yu.

"Husband, why did the late emperor pass the throne to King Yu?"

This is the third time that Liu Yu asked this question. The first one was Han Sheng, the second one was Su Yan, and the third one was his wife. In fact, Liu Yu couldn't answer this question. Even if Xu Xuanzhu knew that he would keep it a secret for him when he planned to usurp the throne, he still didn't want Xu Xuanzhu to increase his worries for nothing.

"Because King Yu is the legitimate son." Liu Yu faced the same question for the three of them, and the answer was the same.

The Han sisters were temporarily placed in the outer city by Xu Xuanzhu and guarded by their daughter's army. At this time, the couple went to the outer city in person and took a look at the reactions of the people after the martial law was lifted in the city. When the people heard the news of the national mourning, the reaction was not particularly fierce. However, some people hung white cloth at the doorsteps of their homes. When they went out to meet, they would express their grief to mourn the ancestors.

It doesn’t matter to oneself. People these days only want to live and then continue the family line. They don’t care who is the emperor, but they care about whether the emperor can give them peace and prosperity.

Taking the Han sisters back to the house from the outer city, Liu Yu was about to go in to rest when he saw Lu Chu'er hurried in.

"Son-in-law, son-in-law, that... is here again." Lu Chu'er said in a clueless manner.

"What's here again?" Liu Yu was a little unlucky. If Xu Xuanzhu had said this to him, he would have understood it very clearly. But he knew that Lu Chu'er was not saying that, so she would not inform him whether she "that" came.

"It was that girl that day, she cried so hard. Son-law, are you..." Lu Chu'er's face suddenly turned red, probably thinking about what her general and son-in-law were doing in the carriage.

Liu Yu still didn't understand who this naughty Qing was talking about. There were so many girls coming to the house. If you want to say that he came crying... Could it be Li Zheer?

With questions, Liu Yu came to the door and a pink and green figure immediately came into his arms. It was not someone else, but Qi'er.

The pear blossoms are raining, and Qi'er's crying is sad.

"Brother Liu...Woooooo, they... want to kill their mother and father."

The mother was detained and her father had just passed away. Qi'er was already very sad. Suddenly, she heard that her mother was going to be "sent to death". She was so scared that she was gone. She hurriedly wanted to ask Liu Yu for help. The inner court had already blocked her. Fortunately, some guards recognized that Qi'er and Liu Yu had a different relationship. They informed Lan Jing, the right commander of the Imperial Guard. Lan Jing specially asked several guards to escort Qi'er over.

In order to gain Liu Yu's appreciation, Yang Lie, Lan Jing and a group of Imperial Guards were doing their best to do their best, and even these details were done well. After all, everyone understood the principles of the emperor and the ministers. Only by currying against Liu Yu can they gain the appreciation of the new emperor.

"I should not mention the matter of burial for the sake of death. Qier, don't worry." Liu Yu comforted.

"No, before Qi'er came out, a female official took a white cloth to the inner court..." Qi'er said anxiously.

Giving white silk? Liu Yu was shocked at the moment. Could it be Yuan Bolang?

"Let's go into the palace and take a look! Who dares to disrespect the emperor's orders!"

Liu Yu asked the guards to inform Xu Xuanzhu, but he himself kept taking the guards back to the palace. When he asked, it was indeed Yuan Bolang who was his own opinion and wanted to take action first and then report! The white silk had been sent to the inner court. Yuan Bolang himself was lying across the door of the inner court with a knife, and Su Yan was "kindly" persuading him and asking him to give way.

"The old emperor is a king, and all the great gifts should be presided over by me. The emperor must be particularly kind to the rule of burying concubines for thousands of years. But this white silk is still to be given. If all the empresses want to accompany the old emperor, wouldn't the emperor give them this opportunity?"

Yuan Bolang is obviously changing his concept. He said that he was asking the concubines to choose life and death, but the meaning of the white silk is not obvious? Could it be that those concubines still have to commit suicide by holding their necks with their knives?

"Old man, if you don't let go, I will be the first to chop you!" Liu Yu came out from behind like a crazy beast.

Yuan Bolang was shocked when he saw Liu Yu holding the sword. He thought that you would be able to deal with others with this trick, but Liu Yu came up with a arrogant temper and said that he could really do it. When it comes to being foolish, he thought he could not compare with this kid.

"What are you going to do?" Yuan Bolang lay on the ground, his momentum was not that strong.

"If you want to die, you will die by yourself, all the guards... follow my commander to save people!"
