A heavy rain washes the entire Guan City clean. In addition to reducing the scorching heat of the hot summer, it seems that through a dripping vent and release, the tense atmosphere lingering in the city has also faded a lot.
The clouds dispersed, the light reappeared, and a faint rainbow bridge hung in the sky. Inside the Guan Yamen, Emperor Liu Chengyou sat quietly inside, his expression seemed slightly complicated, and there was a little sadness in his emotion.
What he holds in his hand is a memorial. There is a faint trace of blood mixed between the words. Although it has dried, it adds more weight to it. This is the memorial written by Hu Zai.
Hu Zai, this talented man with great literary talents, could not survive the summer and died in Tongguan camp. Before his death, he supported his illness, wrote lightly with a trembling pen, and wrote a prose, which combined his last talents with Sincerely, I place my trust in this table.
Between the words, one can see the literary talent of Hu Zhi. The rhetoric is still gorgeous, but when he was dying, there was a bit more sincere emotion. However, if you look at his suicide note, you can find that what he describes is the "Hu Zhi". The evaluation and review of my short life, coupled with the mental journey since becoming seriously ill, and of course, most of the page is about the gratitude for Liu Chengyou's kindness and the blessings and expectations for the Han Dynasty. Well, highlight the word "lick", And the licking is full of emotion and full of literary talent.
He slowly closed the memorial, thought for a moment, dipped his pen in ink, and wrote three words on the cover: "Sentimental Poems". Then he handed it to Zhang Dejun and said: "Hu Zai died young. It's a pity. I feel sorry for him from the bottom of my heart." This article was circulated to the court to promote his talents and loyalty. His body was buried and sent back to his hometown. He gave his family two hundred guan of money, fifty shi each of rice and millet, and twenty pieces of silk. In addition, Tao was given Gu writes an epitaph for Hu Zai!"
"Yes!" Zhang Dejun responded: "His Majesty treated Hu Langguan so kindly, even if he dies, he should die with joy and die with no regrets!"
No matter how Hu Zai ended up in the original history, in Liu Chengyou's era, he was enough to leave his name in the history books. His excellent funeral was praised by Liu Chengyou as "The Song of Love", which was handed down from generation to generation, plus the Northern Tour During this period, Jing Huzai drafted more than a hundred edicts and articles, which were enough to help him spread his name...
For Hu Zai, who suffered from a chronic illness and was difficult to cure, the past half year has been better than the past thirty years. It can indeed be described as dying without regrets.
Before long, Guo Tong came in to pay his respects. His steps were brisk and his expression was filled with joy. He held the memorial in his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the chaos in Guanzhong has been settled. The leader of the thieves, Wang Shun, is dead. This is a detailed report. , please take a look at it, Your Majesty!"
Hearing this, Liu Chengyou did not see joy on his face, but looked uninterested and waved his hand: "I won't read it for now, tell me about it!"
"Yes!" Guo Tong was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, cleared his throat, and reported: "On the 20th, the commander-in-chief Zhao Hongyin led his army to pacify Yueyang. After the chaos in Weinan, he led his army to advance westward. Stationed in Xingping. During this process, two generals, Murong Chengtai and Ma Renyu, had led 2,000 Southwest Iron Cavalry and forced more than 4,000 Wang Shun rebels into Xuelu Town in the west of Jingzhao.
On the night of the 22nd, the rebels were trapped in a desperate situation. Feeling that the situation was not good, they escaped at night. Using the forced Han people as bait, they went north to attract the attention of our army, and concentrated the Shu prisoners to break out to the south. They were defeated by Generals Murong and Ma. After investigation, they were surrounded and annihilated on the north bank of the Weihe River.
The leader of the bandits, Wang Shun, was cunning and could not escape. At the same time, he used most of the bandit army as bait and led a small number of pro-party followers. They took advantage of the chaos to escape, took other routes, smuggled across the Wei River, and sneaked into Yusi County.
However, even though the thieves were cunning, they did not expect that the government would be well prepared after the chaos in Weibei spread. The thieves thought they were hiding, but in fact their whereabouts had already been exposed. County Lieutenant Gao Qiong did not alert them, but planned their route to the Zhongnan Pass. , ambushed them in Taiping Town, and all the thieves from Wang Shun on down were captured and killed!"

"This Wang Shun does have some wit!" Liu Chengyou commented with a smile on his face.
"Before and after the chaos, a total of more than 4,000 thieves were killed and more than 2,600 people were captured..." Guo Tong continued.
"How many of them are prisoners of the former Shu army?" Liu Chengyou asked.
"About half!" Guo Tong replied.
"What were the losses in the affected counties? How many people died? How much property was damaged? How many acres of crops were destroyed?" Liu Chengyou asked again.
"Your Majesty, we don't know these yet, we still need statistics!" Guo Tong told the truth.
"Command Chang'an and tell Li Shaoyou that I want to know the exact results as soon as possible!" Liu Chengyou ordered, and then asked: "What is the situation in Guanzhong now?"
"After Wang Shun's rebel army, which caused the most trouble, was wiped out, the chaos has basically subsided. Even if there is turmoil in the rest, there is no need to worry. At present, General Zhao will still lead people to clear out the escaped rebel army to avoid causing further trouble. Dao Si Arrangements are also being made for the people to return home, and the government organizations to appease the people, repair the damage, and harvest summer grain. I think it won't be long before the situation will be completely settled!" Guo Tong said.
Seeing Liu Chengyou nodding, Guo Tong reported again: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to tell me how to deal with the captured bandits."
"All Shu prisoners who participated in the rebellion will be executed. As for those Han people who were forced to do so, they need to be carefully screened. Those who take advantage of the chaos to do evil and become traitors will also be sentenced to death. I don't believe that they are all innocent. Let Guanzhong Press the Inspector and interrogate him carefully!" Liu Chengyou said coldly.
"Yes!" Guo Tong responded and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, yesterday, the inspector-general Shen Yu died of illness while on duty!"
Liu Chengyou raised his eyebrows, his expression sank slightly, and said: "Send a message to Tokyo and ask Sun Fangxi to come and take over as the inspector of Guanzhong. When he investigated the Huainan case, he did a good job!"
Guo Tong wrote it down and continued to report: "In addition, the commander-in-chief Zhao Hongyin and the former chief envoy Hu Yanke successively requested reports. There was chaos in Guanzhong and they were responsible for military and political affairs. Please ask the court to punish them!"
"These two people are quite proactive!" Liu Chengyou muttered, and after a moment of silence, he said: "The cause of this chaos is the responsibility of the guilty, and the court will have its own fair judgment! Send it back to Tokyo for the prime ministers to discuss it. Those who want to come to Tokyo Ministers, you must also be concerned about the situation in Guanzhong."
Before the rebellion, the three high-ranking officials of Guanzhong Daosi, Hu Yanke, had been replaced by Li Shaoyou. Shen Yu died of illness, and Zhao Hongyin was punished for pacifying the rebellion. This change is already big enough. It seems that who will bear the responsibility has been decided, and there are even some The result is...
As for the Yunyang government where the chaos originated, the government was basically wiped out. The dead were already dead and there was no way to pursue them. As for the other prefectures and counties that clung to the city and protected the people, they still had to be rewarded for their efforts.
After thinking seriously for a while, Liu Chengyou raised his eyes and looked at Guo Tong and said, "Please remember this. Report the results of the chaos in Guanzhong to Tokyo and ask the court officials to discuss the follow-up."
First, reward those who have contributed to the fight against the chaos and violence this time.
Second, officials from various counties in Guanzhong were mobilized to fill the gap.
Third, discuss tax exemptions for the people in the affected prefectures and counties.
Fourth, the resettlement of the remaining Shu army prisoners in various states."
"Yes!" Guo Tong responded.
He got up and walked out of the hall. Looking at the washed blue sky, Liu Chengyou felt relieved. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Password, Luan Jia will set off westward tomorrow. I am going to Chang'an." trip."
"yes!"
"Inform the prefectures and counties along the way in advance that there is no need to greet them. The chaos in Guanzhong has begun, and everything is focused on peace and order for the people!" Liu Chengyou added: "I will then issue an order in front of the Southwest Army and ask Xiang Xun to bring the southwest generals and military envoys to arrive. Chang'an, meet me!"
Originally, Liu Chengyou had no plans to go to Chang'an. After three months of patrolling, he was already ready to return. If it had not been related to the chaos, he would have been close to Tokyo.
However, the chaos in Guanzhong was raging, the prefectures and counties were destroyed, and the people were killed. As the emperor, he was near Tongguan, so it was unreasonable not to go around and take a look.
Of course, Luan Jia's personal visit and the emperor's visit to comfort the soldiers and the people are also conducive to the cohesion of people's hearts and the restoration of order. At the same time, since the founding of the country, he, the emperor, has never been to Guanzhong and has seen Chang'an. This is the first time.
On the other hand, he also needed to personally inquire about the southwestern armies and the military preparations for the expedition against Shu. It must be said that the prisoner chaos in Guanzhong greatly touched Liu Chengyou, and he began to think about it, to have power, to have power. What was the result of the rebellion of the two "Shu armies" in Germany? They began to think about whether the hidden dangers of deploying the southwest army were too great and whether the delegation of power was too heavy. After leaving Beijing for many years to manage the southwest, Xiang Xun's loyalty remained...
