Chapter 648: Good wind and bad water (Part 2)

Han Sheng said a lot, but to sum it up, it was basically nonsense. Liu Yu knew everything he knew before, but still didn't know what he didn't know. Although Han Sheng didn't seem to have helped him this time, Liu Yu's heart was calm.

Since Su Zhe did not hit the wall and did not look back, he would naturally make a move. He just kept it up. Su Zhe could not form a climate now. After all, Liu Yu's concern for Su Zhe was lies in his own concern about usurping the throne. Liu Yu liked to oppress others with force, but he preferred to convince others with reason.

After all, in the matter of usurping the throne, Liu Yu felt that he was not worthy of the old emperor who trusted him, nor did he deserve Han Sheng, who still trusted him. Liu Yu deceived everyone, and some people didn't care about him, but he still cared about the thoughts of these relatives and friends around him, especially since Su Zhe has been hanging on his head, as if the facts would be exposed at any time.

He always cared too much about this matter, and the more he cared about it, the more serious he felt it was. But after all, the Three Puritans were a folk religious organization. Without the government or army to support him, even if they were to defeat the sky, they could only be a group of peasant uprising troops. Thinking of this, Liu Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was not afraid of Turkic cavalry, but he was still afraid of a group of peasant rebels? Wouldn't he be worried about it?

Han Sheng came over, not just chatting with Liu Yu. Han Sheng also brought a lot of official business to ask Liu Yu to give instructions. Because Liu Yu was busy quelling the rebellion in Lang County these two days, some official business was delayed, Han Sheng was unsure of his mind and came to ask him.

What Han Sheng said was basically tax cuts in Lingnan cities, because Lingnan had just experienced a chaotic war. Although the impact was not too great, many places were resolved peacefully. However, because Lingnan had suffered from wars for a long time in public, after the imperial court quelled the rebellion, Liu Yu had repeatedly stated that he would give some policy compensation to the people of Lingnan, especially some ethnic minorities who made contributions to the quelling of the rebellion.

"We should reduce as much as possible, and don't end up ineffective, but the people who suffer in the end will be ordinary people." Finally, Liu Yu said, "In the next few years, we will try our best to save taxes, and rely on the Commerce Department to temporarily support the expenses of the court. After a few years of rest, the people of Shun Dynasty will become rich."

Han Sheng smiled and said, "Just don't want to start a war with the outside world again then."

"Where to start a war?"

Han Sheng pointed to the north and said, "Don't you want to completely pacify the Turks? There are also those small countries in the western frontier, Tubo Nanzhao and Annan, or Goryeo Ryukyu?"

Liu Yu smiled and said, "A country always needs some bordering countries. If everything is flat, it must unify the entire earth. Why not tell Brother Han that some places on the earth have not been discovered by others."

Han Sheng frowned and said, "Earth...ball? There are still places where people are missing in the world?"

Liu Yu didn't want to explain this to Han Sheng, and it was hard to explain it if there were too many. Liu Yu approved the official document, and he was a little tired and wanted to go back to rest. He personally sent Han Sheng out of the yard outside the Yaqian Hall and turned back to the inner court. When he arrived at the bedroom, it was already half past midnight, and it was midnight.

When he got up the next day, Liu Yu went to the Ministry of War to inquire about the situation. The front line was evacuating the religious people, but the conflict continued to occur. What was sent back in the morning was the news from the first half of last night. The conflict had a tendency to intensify. Because it involved the issue of the religious people spending overnight, Lang County naturally could not accommodate 30,000 to 40,000 people to educate the people. Many religious people simply stayed in the city and spent the night in the streets. The local garrison army, as well as the newly appointed Lang County County lieutenant, and the army sent by the court, were all trying to get these religious people to leave Lang County. This was a place of failure.

There was a conflict between the court and the people. If Liu Yu was there, he would definitely issue an order to let the people who like to spend the night in Lang County stay there. As long as the army traps them, don’t let the people occupy the city completely, then there will be nothing. The people who stay in the city for a few days and find that there is nothing in the gods and ghosts. They will have to disperse even if they don’t disperse. The court will definitely not care about so many people who eat, drink, defecate, and the needs of their own survival cannot be guaranteed. If they don’t hurry home, they can still take root in Lang County?

But Liu Yu was in Chang'an City and did not go to the front line, so the first order did not go on, and then something happened. Some minor conflicts arose between the army, the gathering of religious people and ordinary local people, and later it gradually evolved into an open enemy. There was nothing wrong, and it caused trouble.

At noon, Liu Yu was upset about the news, so he went to the city for a walk. Chang'an City had just lifted the martial law and there were a lot of people on the streets. Liu Yu was walking around to relax. As he walked, he unconsciously walked towards the Chess Tower. This time he returned to Chang'an City, he had not yet returned to the Chess Tower to take a look.

When he arrived at the Qi Building, the chess house had already replaced him, but he still retained his private room. Liu Yu went upstairs and sat in a familiar place, but felt that his heart was empty. Many things were no longer what he thought. The changes over the past two years have made him completely transcend his original life and become someone he himself cannot recognize.

There are too many things, things change.

Shortly after Liu Yu sat down, news came that something happened on the front line. In order to quell the civil unrest earlier, the local government had a major conflict with the religious people, and many casualties were killed and injured. Originally, the imperial army was going to "put the rebellion". When something happened, the soldiers were eager to make contributions and many "provoking trouble" were sent to the streets. As for whether the killed ones were causing trouble, it was hard to say, because many people were just joining in the fun and didn't know the truth.

When this big conflict happened, things were not simple. The troops of the Nanchang'an Daying and Dongshui Camp were not stationed in the city. After this incident, tens of thousands of religious people inside and outside the city blocked the city gate and closed the city gate, and Lang County was really occupied. On the evening of the fourth day of the winter month, Liu Yu received an urgent report from the afternoon and found out that Lang County had fallen into the hands of the religious people. Because the imperial army did not bring the supplies for the attacking city, they did not have the time for Huo Bing to climb the wall, Lang County became an isolated city. The army attacked the city gate several times in succession, but were all defeated by the religious people who threw stones and wood down the city tower.

The situation in the city was also very chaotic because there were still a small number of soldiers in the city. They had weapons on their hands, but they could only occupy some dangerous places to fight against a large number of religious people. Ordinary people, especially those who rushed the religious people out of the city last night, became the targets of religious people venting their anger. Liu Yu learned from the war report that when it was almost dusk in the afternoon, the soldiers outside the city attacked the city again, and the religious people on the wall had no weapons on their hands, and even threw the elderly, weak women and children of the residents in the city, causing stones to hit people.

This time, the situation has become very tense. Liu Yu didn't want to take action himself, but now it seems that he has to go there. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
