Chapter 295 Hunter and Prey (1)

The vassal kings and vassal lords who were originally planning to fight with the new emperor were disrupted by Liu Yu's appearance.

Liu Yu poked at the door and closed the door, like a trick of "closing the door and letting go of the dog". At noon, the eunuch of the deacon had to light the palace lanterns to illuminate the Fengcui Palace. The originally noisy Fengcui Palace was quiet at this time. Because these vassal kings and vassal lords also knew that they could get involved with the emperor, they were a family, breaking their bones and connecting tendons.

But in front of this powerful minister Liu Wenyan, nothing is done. The soldiers in charge are always arrogant and domineering.

On this point, King Jing felt the most deeply. Since Liu Yu entered this gate, he did not dare to raise his head again. Until now, King Jing's land was still occupied by Liu Yu's army. Liu Yu said one thing, his position as a vassal king would be lost, and his family would be confiscated and exterminated for the crime of accusation of rebellion.

"Everyone, please continue, my subordinates are here, there, it's okay."

Liu Yu leaned against the door, acted like he was going to get entangled to the end, and refused to leave.

The King of Shu glanced at Liu Yu and was worried. He knew what these vassal kings and vassal lords were afraid of. Although the reduction of the vassal was the new emperor and the court's strong leadership, it was only promoted under the basis of the strong military strength of the Dashun Dynasty. When Liu Yu held military power, no one was afraid of his revenge afterwards, so he did not dare to speak out again as a leader.

If you continue to be silent like this, it must be that the emperor will say whatever he says, either handing over the vassal state or fighting each other, and there is no possibility of recovery.

"Emperor." The King of Shu walked forward and said, "The old minister also knew that the court was going to war with the Turks now, so he joined forces with several princes and dukes to collect a batch of military rations and military pay, which will be transported to Chang'an City soon. I hope the emperor will compassion for our loyalty to the king and the country and accept this batch of money and grain."

Su Yan looked embarrassed and said, "What I want is not these."

The King of Shu said: "I heard that some treacherous villains in the court have alienated the relationship between our royal people and compared us with the rebellious rebellious rebel kings. What I want to say is that the rebellious rebellion and rebellion are indignant. If the people of the Dashun Dynasty rise up and attack them, my royal people are even more responsible..."

It seemed like he was a loyal minister. Liu Yu interrupted him and said in a non-yin tone: "Your Highness, what you said doesn't seem to be right. You didn't seem to attack the rebellion of the King of Rebellion, and it seemed that you had sent a notice, and you were following the rebellion... Please forgive me for not knowing the minds, and I don't remember some things very clearly. I'm talking nonsense, forgive me!"

If someone else said these words here, he would definitely be scolded by the vassal kings. Maybe he would ask the emperor to pull him out and behead him. But Liu Yu said this. Others could only stare at him.

Everyone knows that Liu Yu was the minister of the late emperor's orphanage. He had military power in hand, and Chang'an City said that he would destroy the vassal kings. At most, the new emperor could only give his opinions. "It's better not to do this." Some vassal lords even suspected that the court did not send Liu Yu to the expedition this time, just to prepare for the failure to reach a conclusion to reduce the vassal kings. He was preparing to let Liu Yu lead his troops south again.

The King of Shu was inconvenient at this time, so he had to suppress his anger and explained, "We just wanted to numb the King of Negro and let him expose his arrogant claws. Otherwise, how could the Marquis of Wuyi easily cut off the King of Negro's wings and sharp claws?"

Liu Yu smiled and said, "So, you, King Shu, have you made great contributions to eliminating the King of Rebellion? My subordinates are really ignorant and always think that the King of Rebellion is in the same group as the King of Rebellion. Forgive me, forgive me!"

The more polite Liu Yu spoke, the more he smiled, the less he dared to speak. At this time, two of the four major vassal kings were dead, and one of them was beaten, and even the border was occupied by the imperial army. Now the only one who could speak with his chest raised his chest was left.

The King of Shu ignored Liu Yu's cold words and said to Su Yan: "Emperor, the vassal king's guarding the land is the rule set by my ancestors of Dashun Dynasty. The old minister is not greedy for power, but for you. The old minister is already old, and no one is afraid of the tiger with tooth loss. If the emperor is going to take back the vassal territory of the old minister, just say it, I will definitely obey it. Please make it clear!"

As soon as the King of Shu finished speaking, the other vassal kings knelt down and said the same thing: "I will definitely obey it, please let the emperor make it clear."

The vassal kings were all intent, which was putting pressure on the emperor. If Su Yan really proposed to "reduce the vassal states", it would mean that these vassal kings and vassal lords would be opposite to him. Even if these people were placed under house arrest in Chang'an City, civil unrest would still arise in their fiefdoms. The current focus of the court was to eliminate the Turks, and they also expected that the court would not dare to fight on both sides.

Su Yan thought that these vassal kings had compromised and were about to decide to reduce the vassals, but Yuan Bolang shook his eyes at Su Yan and handed a note on it. Liu Yu didn't have to look at it from a distance and guessed that the content written on this note should be "Long-term plan". On this point, Yuan Bolang is more cautious than him, which does not mean that Liu Yu's enterprising is wrong.

"Oh, princes, county dukes, princes, what are you doing?" Liu Yu walked forward and kept saying, "The emperor just wants to be more stable within the territory of the Dashun Dynasty. That's right, is that happening?"

Su Yan was confused and nodded, "What Wuyi Hou said is."

"Since the purpose of the Emperor and you are to be for the future of the Dashun Dynasty, and today is a good day for the vassal kings to meet the new emperor, why not say anything unpleasant? This... I am also hungry. Can the emperor hold a banquet and take care of the meal?"

Su Yan thought Liu Yu would say something constructive, but he turned out to be yelling that he was hungry. After all, the court meeting opened for a whole morning, and it was already noon.

"Then...then I will give you a banquet first! My uncles, uncles, and princes and ministers will have dinner with me." Su Yan said.

Liu Yu waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, this is not possible!"

When no one else said anything, the Prince of Hejian jumped up and accused him: "You foreign minister, we royal people want to have dinner together, can you still dare to raise a question?"

"Prince, I haven't finished my words yet. What are you so anxious?" Liu Yu said with a harmless smile on his face. "What I mean is that it is rare that all the princes gather from all over the world to Chang'an City today. It's better to have a unique picnic and barbecue. Do it yourself and have enough food and clothing. Now there are too many animals in the hunting grounds that you may not be able to deal with if you don't slaughter a little. Is that okay?"

When the vassal kings and the vassal lords looked at each other, they all felt a little confused about Liu Yu's intention. Could it be that he wanted to use conspiracy in the hunting ground and assassinate them all?

Now it's already past mealtime, I have to go to the hunting ground and hunt and barbecue by myself. I have to eat this meal, but it's not even dark? Liu Yu just now shouted that he must have other plans.

The King of Shu asked Su Yan for advice and said, "Emperor, the old minister is old and weak, and is not suitable for hunting."

Liu Yu smiled and said, "In this way, His Highness the King of Shu will do it himself. The ministers will help you hunt and prey. After the barbecue, it will be delivered to your mouth. Is this good?"

The King of Shu was shocked and even if he didn't poison the food he ate, he would not be able to eat it.

"I thanked Wuyi Marquis for his kindness, but... Even if I cannot hunt, there are still 100,000 soldiers of the Shu army. They will bring prey to me and taste it. There is no need for Wuyi Marquis to work hard!"

The King of Shu was very loud, as if he wanted to tell Liu Yu and the Emperor that he still had 100,000 troops, and even if he could not capture Chang'an City, he would fight to the death.

Liu Yu smiled indifferently. He was not afraid of the threat from the King of Shu. At that time, King Jing claimed to have an army of 200,000, but was destroyed by his 3,000 new army. He had no temper at all. To be honest, the army of each vassal king was only well-trained, and the rest were all ordinary local regiment training and were not very useful.

"Since the King of Shu has 100,000 hunting for you, why not... let's go?"

Su Yan nodded at this time, nodded and said, "I have wanted to go to the hunting ground to hunt these days. Today, I rarely gather with my relatives, so I agreed to hunt at the hunting ground by Marquis Wuyi!"

The emperor wanted to go out of the palace to hunt, what a big deal, it was when the vassal kings entered the palace.

The vassal kings and vassal lords both noticed something strange, but because the emperor's attitude was firm and the matter was unclear, it was difficult for them to raise objections. Some wanted to be sick and go back to rest, but were rejected by Su Yan. Qu Zhu did a good job in traveling in the imperial carriage, escorting the imperial guards, etc., and the horses were ready when the vassal kings and vassal lords left the palace gate, as if they were preparing in advance.

"Dear princes, please get on!"

Liu Yu waved his hand and dragged out dozens of good horses, all of which were well-trained war horses. The vassal king and the vassal lord jumped on the horse reluctantly. Following the imperial carriage to the hunting ground in the north of the city, Liu Yu immediately sighed at the beautiful scenery around him.

"This kid is rogue, what is your purpose?" Prince Qingshui asked while taking advantage of his time to ride a horse beside the King of Shu.

The King of Shu said with a deep smile: "You think Liu Wenyan is an easy-to-handle master, so you are wrong. Look at King Jing's current attitude and you will know how clever his methods are. No matter what his purpose is, he cannot lose our prestige. As long as he suppresses him, the little emperor will have no choice but to do anything!"

The group finally arrived at the hunting ground. As soon as they entered, Liu Yu seemed to be looking for prey everywhere. Unfortunately, this place was not as full as he said, birds and animals were full of dangers, because it was spring and there were very few prey activities. In addition, the group of the carriages was too ostentatious, and the prey was hiding far away, so even a bird could not be seen.

"Marquis Wuyi, this is what you call a hunting ground for many beasts? Where is there?" The Prince of Hejian walked forward and condemned.

Liu Yu smiled and said, "There are not many animals here, but when you come to Hejian County Prince, you will have more animals."
