In the face of Liu Yu's gradually breeding killing intent, Xiao Daocheng was as anxious and uneasy as an ant. Under the original intention of rushing to the hospital in a hurry, he even considered raising troops to rebel, but under the timely dissuasion of his subordinates and relatives, he calmed down, changed his strategy, and chose to wait for the opportunity to counterattack.
Liu Yu's indiscriminate killing of innocents caused panic among the people of the government and the wilderness, and in order to protect himself, Wang Jing, the captain of the Yue Cavalry, took the initiative to show his loyalty to Xiao Daocheng and monitor Liu Yu's every move. But one Wang Jingze alone is far from enough, Xiao Daocheng sent Wang Jingze to secretly make friends with Liu Yu's cronies such as Yang Yufu, Yang Wannian, Chen Fengbo and others, hoping to seek cooperation. Several people knew Liu Yu's brutality, so they reached a consensus and waited for the opportunity to appear.
However, opportunities don't come easily. After a long time, Xiao Daocheng fell into fear again. He was even ready to entrust his entire family to Huangfu Su, who was stationed at the border, and if the plan failed, let them defect to the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Luckily, there's no end to it. The opportunity that everyone had been waiting for finally came. On the night of Dinghai Day in July of the fifth year of Yuan Hui, Liu Yu once again went out to carnival in casual clothes. His cronies mistakenly thought that Liu Yu wanted to get rid of Xiao Daocheng, but they didn't expect him to have another plan and go elsewhere to mess around.
Until the next night, the carnival of Liu Yu and others was not over. The group came to Xin'an Temple to steal dog meat to enjoy, and after being full of wine and food, Liu Yu, who was already drunk, was sent back to Renshou Hall to sleep. Since it was the Begging Festival, Liu Yu had a strange idea and said that he wanted to see the Weaver Girl cross the river, otherwise he would kill Yang Yufu.
This bizarre request made Yang Yufu helpless, but he knew that Liu Yu would never break his word. Considering that the conspiracy between himself and Xiao Daocheng might be leaked, Yang Yufu found Yang Wannian and others to conspire and prepare to assassinate Liu Yu.
Originally, it was almost impossible to assassinate the emperor in the heavily guarded palace, but because Liu Yu entered and exited the palace gate at will on weekdays, the palace doors did not dare to close at night. The palace guards didn't even dare to go out, and the Praetorian Guards were even more far away, and the palace became almost defenseless.
This provided an opportunity for Yang Yufu and others to take advantage of. Yang Yufu asked Wang Jingze to go out of the camp to wait for news, and after confirming that Liu Yu was asleep, he and Yang Wannian took Liu Yu's self-defense saber and beheaded Liu Yu. Poor Liu Yu never thought that he would end his life like this.
After succeeding, Yang Yufu and others falsely passed on the holy decree and ordered the outer court to perform**. Subsequently, Chen Fengbo hid Liu Yu's head in the sleeve of his robe, claimed that he was sent by the emperor, opened the Chengming Gate and left the palace, and handed over the head to Wang Jingze.
After Wang Jing got this "heavy gift", he hurried to Xiao Daocheng's place, knocked on the door and shouted that the big thing had been accomplished. However, Xiao Daocheng, who was frightened, thought it was Liu Yu's trick and didn't dare to open the door for a long time. In desperation, Wang Jing threw the head into the wall, and after Xiao Daocheng confirmed that the head was Liu Yu, he acted quickly and entered the palace smoothly under the cooperation of the inside and the outside.
On the morning of Jichou Day, Xiao Daocheng stood under the locust tree in the courtyard in front of the palace in full gear, and summoned Yuan Cang, Chu Yuan, and Liu Bing into the palace in the name of the empress dowager to hold a meeting. Facing Xiao Daocheng, who held military power, several people were all panicked and unanimously expressed their obedience to Xiao Daocheng's arrangement.
Originally, Wang Jingze and others planned to support Xiao Daocheng as the emperor in one step, but Xiao Daocheng knew that it was not yet time to become the emperor, so he stopped Wang Jingze, and there was no doubt that the power in the court was in the hands of Xiao Daocheng.
Xiao Daocheng then planned to set up a puppet first and send people to welcome Liu's third son, Liu Zhun and King An Cheng, to succeed him to the throne. However, Liu Zhun did not dare to open the door because he was afraid, and it was not until Yuan Cang arrived that he reluctantly entered the palace.
After that, Xiao Daocheng listed Liu Yu's crimes in the name of the empress dowager, and issued an edict to depose Liu Yu as the king of Cangwu County. On the day of July Renchen, eleven-year-old Liu Zhun ascended the throne of the emperor and changed his name to "N Ming". Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Liu Zhun is just a transition, and Liu Song's world will be Xiao Daocheng sooner or later.
