I have 800,000 private soldiers. The emperor forces me to hand over military power?

hiss!

Liu Ziyu took a breath and looked at her adoptive father Liu Xinwu, with a clear desire for power and desire flashing through her eyes.

One was a high-ranking military general of the imperial court, and the other was the uncle of the founding emperor. Liu Ziyu could still understand the weight between the two.

Furthermore, as the current emperor Zhao Qian raised the sickle to purge the old officials of the previous dynasty, Liu Ziyu, the adopted son of King Wuning, would also become a target of purge sooner or later.

In recent days, the red-clad guards who frequently appear outside the general's mansion and monitor his every move are good evidence of this.

If the Turkic barbarians hadn't been plundering Wuzhou before, and the emperor needed him to guard Wuzhou, and now the counter-insurgency war was about to happen, and the emperor couldn't spare the time to deal with him, I'm afraid his official position as a third-rank general would have been wiped out long ago.

If the emperor is in a good mood, he may be able to disarm and return to his fields to live a long life.

If the emperor is in a bad mood, he may be imprisoned for the rest of his life and die unjustly.

Even if his adoptive father, King Wu Ning, did not take the risk to come to Wuzhou to summon him, Liu Ziyu had already begun to plan the future for himself and his family.

The arrival of his adoptive father Liu Xinwu only accelerated the time for him to make a choice.

Liu Ziyu only took a few seconds to think before making a decision.

I saw him looking at Liu Xinwu firmly and saying word by word: "Dad, the child can be where he is today because of his support."

"Back then, when I followed my father in revolting in Changshan County, I swore that the direction my father was pointing was the battlefield where my son would fight!"

"Today, children still have this attitude!"

With that said, Liu Ziyu straightened up with a plop, knelt down in front of Liu Xinwu, and continued to say sonorously: "Dad, please tell me what to do!"

"The child and the two thousand soldiers of the general's palace are all dispatched by dad!"

Ha ha!

Seeing this, Liu Xinwu, who was sitting on the chair, laughed loudly, then waved his big hand domineeringly and said: "My son, Ziyu, my father did not misjudge you!"

After speaking, Liu Xinwu pulled up Liu Ziyu, who was kneeling in front of him, and whispered a few instructions into his ear.

Liu Ziyu nodded continuously while listening.

Finally, Liu Xinwu said: "Ziyu, this matter is of great importance. You must personally lead the troops to handle it. You must not make the slightest mistake. Do you understand?"

Liu Ziyu nodded heavily and said, "Dad, don't worry, my child understands!"

Liu Xinwu said: "Well, dad is waiting for your good news at home!"

"Dad, the child is gone!"

...

Hai hour time.

The city of Wuzhou was quiet except for the watchman's monotonous and repetitive sound, echoing in the silent streets.

The Daxin Dynasty implemented a curfew policy, and Wuzhou, an important border town, strictly implemented the curfew policy. When Xu Shi arrived, the streets and alleys in the city became deserted.

Of course, the curfew is only for ordinary people.

For the city's dignitaries, merchants and wealthy people, night is the beginning of a day's exciting life.

In the inner city, there is the Fireworks Willow Lane which is open all night for the upper class to have fun.

Obviously, the red-clothed guards who walked in front of the emperor and were the emperor's minions were naturally among the upper class in Wuzhou City.

While monitoring Wuzhou General Liu Ziyu, he could not help but go to Fengyue Place to soothe his muscles and relax his nerves.

Tonight, Wuzhou City has a cold wind and dark clouds.

Before our eyes, the first snowfall of this year is coming.

In the inner city of Wuzhou, in Fireworks Willow Alley, in a romantic place called "Yanyu Tower", the charcoal fire in the copper stove is burning brightly, and several women in thin clothes are playing the piano, playing the flute, and dancing. .

What a scene of singing, dancing, and drunkenness.

The person responsible for being stationed in Wuzhou and monitoring every move of General Liu Ziyu of the Huben Army in Wuzhou was a member of the Red Guards.

At this time, the red-clad guard Baihu was hugging him from left to right, and two disheveled young women were drinking and having fun at the same time.

The few red-clad guards under his command, although they did not enjoy the blessing of being surrounded by people like their immediate superiors, they still had one of them with their arms around each other, and they were very busy with the hands of the gorgeous women dressed in colorful clothes.

He didn't notice at all that Yanyu Tower was already surrounded by dense footsteps.

General Liu Ziyu of Wuzhou Huben Army personally led a thousand soldiers to surround Yanhualiuxiang. The soldiers were all wearing armor and swords and were armed to the teeth.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Liu Ziyu, who was wearing bright light armor and holding a short sword with a ring head, waved his hand, and his soldiers immediately took action and kicked open the doors of several romantic places in Yanhualiu Lane.

Boom!

Along with the wooden door being kicked away, the biting north wind blew into the Yanyu Building.

Immediately afterwards, countless soldiers of the Tiger Army wearing armor and carrying knives poured into the Yanyu Tower. All the men in the Fengyue venue in Yanhua Liuxiang were not spared, and all were taken into custody on the spot.

"ah--"

"What are you doing?"

"I am the magistrate of Wuzhou County, and you are using violence!"

For a time, the Yanyu Building, which was originally bustling with people singing and dancing, was filled with the screams of women, the angry scolding of men, and the banging sounds of things being knocked over and broken.

"Bold maniac, I am Cai Shouyi of the Hundred Household of the Red Clothes Guards. I have a belt given by the Emperor here. Seeing this is like the Emperor himself. You thieves, why don't you kneel down quickly!"

While he was talking, Cai Shouyi, who was hugging the two brothel girls, suddenly jumped on the table, took out a waist badge symbolizing the identity of the red house guard, and shouted back several of them who were about to go to him. The soldiers of the Huben Army who took him into custody in front of him.

Taking this opportunity, several of Cai Shouyi's thugs also hurriedly pulled out their Xiuchun knives from under the table, and confronted the officers of the Huben Army in a show of force.

"Oh, isn't this General Liu? The flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple!"

At this time, Yanyulou's heavily made-up madam also hurried over with her plump waist twisted, her hand holding the orchid finger and fanning her handkerchief.

"General Liu——"

Clang!

Before the madam could rush to Liu Ziyu to say the warm and polite words, she felt a flash of white light in front of her eyes, and then a cold tingling sensation came from her neck.

It was the ring-headed dagger in Liu Ziyu's hand, and the blade was already on the Madam's neck.

The old bustard's face turned pale, and he said with a cry: "General Liu, the person standing behind Yanyu Tower is a member of the imperial court's Prime Minister Qin. You are going against Prime Minister Qin by doing this!"

snort!

Liu Ziyu snorted coldly and ignored the madam of Yanyulou. Instead, he passed her and went straight to Cai Shouyi, a member of the red-clothed guard family, who was trying to resist.

Here, Cai Shouyi, who was drunk, finally recognized the person.

He immediately scolded: "Well, you Liu Ziyu, I have noticed something wrong with you a long time ago. I didn't expect that you are really nothing. You are rebelling!"

Liu Ziyu sneered and said, "Cai Shouyi, you are right. This general is rebelling. What can you do to me?"

"Liu Ziyu, you——"

Standing on the table and looking down at Liu Ziyu, Cai Shouyi, the red-clad guard of the Baihu family, was choked for a long time and could not speak, and his legs were trembling.

Liu Ziyu didn't waste any time and directly ordered: "Kill none of the red-clothed guards alive!"

"The rest of the people, those who follow the king of Jin will prosper, and those who go against the king of Jin will perish!"

"Got the order!"
