The courtyard where Su Ren lived suddenly became lively because of the fact that many people came. The annex is very large and has many rooms, which is completely large enough for dozens of families. Su Ren had no family members, so he vacated the entire backyard and gave it to the families of the craftsmen who moved in, for these people, Su Ren was very generous, not only did he not collect money but also took care of the food, but he also got the gratitude of the craftsmen.

Since that day, Liu Jian has come to the courtyard more and more often, and he has not left many times, pulling Su Ren to hide in a place where no one is talking. Han Qing felt curious, and asked Huang Shisan and Manniu about it, but he found the wrong person, and asked Su Ren again, but Su Ren told Han Qing with a smile that everything would be understood in a few days.

At noon that day, Su Ren was playing with a few children in the yard, listening to the children tell about the past of Luo Datou's mother, and the gossip made Su Ren listen to it with relish. I don't know where these boys know about it, but they actually said that they have noses and eyes, and it feels like seeing them with their own eyes. The others were smirking, and Luo Datou also giggled, not knowing that he was the laughing stock of others.

Liu Jian came again, this time with a red face. Neither rushed to speak with Su Ren, nor interrupted the narration of several children's eyebrows, and Liu Jian also laughed together when a few children said they were happy.

The children were frightened and quickly turned their heads to look. Su Ren is an outsider, and his face is pleasant, so the children are naturally not afraid. Liu Jian is the little son of Huainan Kingdom, although he has lost power, the fear of the powerful still keeps the children away from Liu Jian. The story stops immediately, and a few clever children are already running to the backyard.

Su Ren handed Luo Datou a plate of pastries beside him, patted his head, and motioned for him to take it down and divide it for everyone, and then invited Liu Jian to sit down: "Look at your appearance today, that incident seems to have eyebrows?" ”

Liu Jian nodded again and again: "I have contacted some people, and they have agreed." ”

"It's really a good thing, but can you find out their details?"

"That's natural, they are also victims of this chaos, and they have come forward to contact people, much better than me! And I also sent someone to inquire, these people have no contact with the prince and the fifth uncle, and they are always bullied by them. ”

"Good! When are you ready to get your hands on it? ”

"I think the sooner the better, sir?"

Su Ren shook his head: "I heard that the envoy of the imperial court is coming soon, otherwise I will wait for the day when the envoy of the imperial court enters the city, what does the little prince think?" ”

"I'm afraid not!" Liu Jian said: "The envoys of the imperial court have only arrived in Luoyi, and it will take more than half a month to reach Shouchun, and the art of war will be exhausted after a drum, and the people's hearts will be cold for half a month." ”

"This is all the art of war? Terrible! Su Ren gave a thumbs up.

Liu Jian smiled: "I can complete the contact in three days, and once it is completed, I will be ready to start, although it is in a hurry, but it will not leak the news." ”

"That's fine! Then I wish the little boy success! Su Ren picked up the tea bowl and touched it with Liu Jian.

Three days is not long, but it is not short. Liu Jian's secrecy measures this time were very good, and neither Liu An, nor Liu Qian, nor Liu Hong were aware of it beforehand. That morning, before Liu An woke up, the chamberlain in the palace knocked on the door. Liu An was furious, turned over and fell to the ground, and opened the door with his sword.

"No, no, oh no!"

"Why are you so panicked, you are also an old man in the house, why do you know the rules so much?"

"King, something is wrong!" The waiter hurriedly knelt down and looked at Liu An pitifully.

Liu An took a deep breath: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

"It's messy! Town! The chamberlain spoke upside down: "They are crazy, they are coming this way, and the doors of the house are blocked......"

Liu An raised his foot and kicked the waiter's chest: "Tell me well, what happened?" ”

Liu Qian, Liu Hong, Zuo Wu, Wu Bei and other Liu An's henchmen were quickly called into the palace. The gate can't go anymore, don't think about the back door, these people all came in over the wall, fortunately, the literati at that time had not completely lost their force, and the wall was quite neat.

In the lobby, Liu An's anxious group turned, rubbing his hands and pacing: "Say, what should I do now?" ”

Liu Qian said: "Immediately send someone to find the lieutenant, there was a rebellion in Huainan, and he sent troops to suppress it, these untouchables actually besieged the palace, they are tired of it!" ”

"Never!" Wu was hurriedly said: "Judging from the ministers, there are thousands of people who came this time, if you send troops to suppress it, I am afraid that it will really provoke a civil uprising out of control!" Besides, it is understandable that these people gather in front of the palace, and they must have lost their lives, so they can only turn to the king for help. ”

Liu Hong nodded, got up and saluted: "Father, the child also thinks that what Wu Zhonglang said is right, the more this time, the more you can't let Shouchun really mess up!" The child guessed that there must have been someone behind the people's troubles, otherwise they would not all have jumped out on the same day and at the same time. ”

"Who's at who's instigating?"

Zuo Wu said: "Who instructed you can slowly investigate, the top priority is how to deal with these people, it seems that if the king does not explain today, this matter may be difficult to settle." ”

"Bold Zuo Wu, how do you let your father explain? Could it be that the untouchables should be allowed to live in the palace? "Liu Qian is alone today, and he can only fight alone, and almost everyone's proposals have to be refuted.

Wu was laughed: "Open the warehouse and release the grain, and send troops into the city to avoid a bigger riot." ”

Liu An thought for a while: "It's okay to transfer troops into the city, open a warehouse and put grain ......, and the grain that has been closed for a long time may be difficult to support, and it is even more impossible to use military rations." ”

"The grain and grass that the king has hoarded outside the city can be evened out a little." Woo was immediately proposed.

Liu Hong hurriedly said: "What Wu Zhonglang said is also a solution, but the number of those people is too much, even if the grain and grass outside the city can solve the urgent need, it is a drop in the bucket, today's matter has temporarily subsided, what about tomorrow?" In my opinion, we still have to find a way to open the doors of the closed shops, and let the big ones who have fled come back, so that is the long-term solution. ”

Liu Qian smiled: "Fifth brother, do you know where the big families who fled have gone?" Even if they do, they may not come back, and I should not have let them go in the first place. He turned to Liu An and said, "Father, the child still thinks that sending troops to suppress it is the most effective, and these untouchables will never do this again if they only let them know that they are afraid!" ”

Zuo Wu smiled: "Where do you think the prince will send soldiers and horses to suppress it?" How many troops should I send? ”

"My Huainan soldiers are strong and strong, where can I not find a suitable soldier and horse? The county soldiers who are responsible for defending Shouchun are good, and the father can order the lieutenant to lead the troops to protect the palace, and he still dares to disrespect the king's order? ”

Zuo Wu smiled again: "The lieutenant may not dare on weekdays, but it's hard to say today, the matter has been going on for so long, and the minister and the lieutenant have not made any moves, so it is estimated that it will not work to count on them." ”

"Then transfer my father's private soldiers, didn't they happen to be outside the city?"

"Once the private soldiers enter the city, if there is a conflict, the subordinates believe that the lieutenant will never sit idly by and attack those people inside and outside, even if the king's private soldiers win, the losses will be great."

Liu Qian was speechless, and sat on the ground with his head down. There is really no chance of winning alone, and the idea that he can't come up with is immediately refuted by others, and he is speechless when he is said, and even Liu An's eyes are a little weird when he looks at him. At this time, Liu Qian remembered his manpower, but unfortunately the only two were angry with him.

Liu An was one head and two big, and he was pacing from beginning to end, and he did not express any opinion on the discussion in the hall.

"Father, the child is willing to go out to see on behalf of the father, and under the appeasement of the good life, presumably those people will not be embarrassed, and if the child is not happy, he will come to the door to borrow some food from the rich families who remain in the city, and stabilize the situation in the city for the time being."

Wu was nodded: "What the fifth prince said is extremely true, and now there is only this way." ”

Liu An took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay, let's do it first!" Temporarily appease these people, but we must find out who is behind the trouble, it is so vicious, this king will never let him go! ”

Liu Jian and Su Ren hid in the far corner and watched. A large crowd of people gathered in front of the palace, and compared to the later demonstrations with banners and slogans, these Han people were simply too civilized, there were no screams, no slogans, and no confrontation. A large group of people knelt outside the palace in the dark, silent, allowing the cold wind and hunger to cause harm to themselves.

Liu Jian looked excited: "What do you think, sir?" It's huge, right? All of them are here today, and my grandfather must have a headache at this time. ”

Su Ren sighed and shook his head: "To be honest, it's really not good?" If I were the king of Huainan, I would ignore it, and when those people were hungry and couldn't stand it, they would naturally leave. ”

Liu Jian's face turned green in an instant: "How is that good?" ”

"Shout! Shout loudly! To do this, there must be appeals, and it is necessary to let the King of Huainan and the entire Shouchun know that only by shouting out their own demands can they have a role, and thousands of people shout loudly together, and they will be terrified when they hear it. ”

"Shouting what?"

"To eat, to live! Just these two sentences are enough, keep shouting, and shout together, loud! ”

"Will it work?" Liu Jian frowned.

"It's better than kneeling in silence, they've been kneeling for so long, maybe your grandfather doesn't know, try it, it won't take much effort to make a sound."

There was not much time, and there were shouts from other places one after another, which were sporadic at first, but it didn't take long to converge into a loud voice, and when everyone shouted together, the feeling of blood boiling came. From lying on the ground with his head down, to straightening up and staring at the palace, the last one stood up straight and raised his right hand. The sound was loud and deafening, and with every shout, the glossy gatehouse of the palace shook three times, and pieces of dust fell.

"Squeak!" The gate of the palace opened, and Liu Hong, under the protection of more than a dozen guards, walked out of the gate. It's a concept to hear it inside the door, but it's a different feeling when you actually come out and see it.

"It's out!" Liu Jian was overjoyed.

Looking over along Liu Jian's fingers, the person who came out was Liu Hong, Su Ren's eyes rolled, and he instructed Liu Jian: "Go quickly, don't let them continue to change, don't stop, when the king of Huainan comes out counts!" ”
