Chapter 648: The Wind Is Not Smooth (Part II)
Han Sheng said a lot of things, but to sum up, it was mostly nonsense, Liu Yue knew the Tao before, and those who didn't know the Tao still didn't know. Although Han Sheng didn't seem to help him this time, Liu Yu's heart was settled.
Since Su Zhe doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back, then he will naturally make a move, and he just needs to follow. Su Zhe can't form a climate now, in the final analysis, Liu Yue's unease about Su Zhe lies in his own concern for the usurpation, Liu Yue likes to oppress people to submit by force, but he prefers to convince people with reason.
In the final analysis, in the matter of usurping the throne, Liu Yu felt that he was not worthy of the old emperor who trusted him, nor was he worthy of Han Sheng, who still trusted him to this day. Liu Yu deceived everyone, some people didn't care what he thought of him, but he still cared a lot about the thoughts of these relatives and friends around him, especially when Su Zhe had been hanging over his head, as if the facts would be exposed at any time.
He always cared too much about it, and the more he cared, the more serious he felt. But in the final analysis, Sanqingjiao is a folk religious organization, and without the support of the government and the army, even if it breaks through the sky, they can only be a group of peasant rebels. Thinking of this, Liu Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was not afraid of the Turkic cavalry, but he would also be afraid of a group of peasant rebels? Aren't you worrying about the sky?
Han Sheng came over, not just gossiping with Liu Yu, Han Sheng also brought a lot of official affairs to Liu Yu for instructions. Because Liu Yu has been busy with the chaos in Lang County in the past two days, and some official business has also been delayed, Han Sheng couldn't make up his mind and came to ask him.
What Han Sheng said was basically a matter of tax reduction in various cities in Lingnan, because Lingnan had just experienced a chaotic war. Although the impact is not too great. In many places, it was resolved peacefully. However, because Lingnan has suffered from war and chaos for a long time, after the imperial court quelled the rebellion, Liu Yu also repeatedly said that he would give some policy compensation to Lingnan people, especially some ethnic minorities who contributed to quelling the rebellion.
"How much should be reduced, try to reduce, don't go up and down after the most Lu is ineffective, and it is the people who are suffering after the most Lu is the ordinary people." Liu Yu said, "In the next few years." In terms of taxes, we try to save as much as possible, and rely on the Department of Commerce and Trade to temporarily support the expenses of the imperial court. After a few years of recuperation, the people of the entire Shun Dynasty will also become rich. ”
Han Sheng smiled: "You kid, don't want to start a war with the outside world again." ”
"Go to war, where to go?"
Han Sheng pointed to the north and said, "Turks, don't you want to be completely pacified?" And those small countries in the west, Tubo Nanzhao and Annam, or Goryeo and Ryukyu? ”
Liu Yu smiled and said: "A country, there must always be some bordering countries, if everything is flat, then the whole earth must be unified." You might as well tell Brother Han that there are some places on the earth right now. I haven't been noticed. ”
Han Shengyi frowned and said, "Earth...... Ball? Within these four seas, there are still places that no one has visited? ”
Liu Yu didn't want to explain these things to Han Sheng, it was too much to explain. Liu Yu approved the official document, and he himself was a little sleepy and wanted to go back to rest. He personally sent Han Sheng out of the courtyard outside the Yaqian Palace, and turned back to the inner court, and when he arrived at the bedroom, it was already halfway through the hour, and it was midnight at the third watch.
The next day, Liu Yu first went to the military headquarters to inquire about the situation, and the front line had been evacuating the parishioners, but conflicts were constantly generated. In the morning, the news came back in the first half of last night, and the conflict has a tendency to intensify, because it involves the problem of parishioners staying overnight, and Lang County naturally cannot accommodate 30,000 or 40,000 parishioners, and many parishioners simply lie in the city and spend the night in the open air on the streets. The local garrison, as well as the newly appointed county lieutenant of Lang County, and the army sent by the imperial court in the past, are all trying to get these parishioners to leave Lang County.
There is a contradiction between the imperial court and the parishioners, if Liu Yu is here, he will definitely issue an order to let those parishioners who like to spend the night in Lang County just stay there, as long as the army traps them and does not let the parishioners completely occupy the city, then there will be nothing. The parishioners stayed in the city for a few days, and found that there was nothing in the gods and ghosts, and they had to disperse if they didn't disperse, so many people ate and drank, and the court would definitely not care, and their own survival needs could not be guaranteed, and if they didn't hurry home, they could still take root in Lang County?
But Liu Yu was in Chang'an City and didn't go to the front line, so this first order didn't go down, and there was an incident later. There were some skirmishes between the army, the gathered parishioners, and the local people, which gradually turned into open confrontations, and there was nothing to do.
At noon, Liu Yu felt upset when he waited for the news, so he went to the city for a walk, Chang'an City had just lifted martial law, and it was much more difficult for people on the street, and Liu Yue walked around to relax. As he walked, he unconsciously walked towards the chess building. When he returned to Chang'an City this time, he hadn't returned to the chess building to take a look.
To the chess building, the guys in the chess building have been replaced, but his private room is still retained, Liu Yue went upstairs and sat in a familiar place, but he felt empty in his heart, many things were no longer what he thought, the changes in the past two years have made him completely detached from his original life and become a person he can't recognize.
There are too many things, and things are wrong.
Not long after Liu Yu sat down, news came that something had happened on the front line. In order to quell the civil unrest as soon as possible, the local government had a major conflict with the parishioners, and there were many casualties. Originally, the imperial army was going to "quell the rebellion", and when something happened, those soldiers were eager to make meritorious contributions, and there were many "troublemakers" on the street. As for whether the people who were killed were making trouble or not, it is difficult to say, because many people were simply joining in the fun, and they did not know the truth.
With this big conflict, things are not simple. Originally, the armies of the South Chang'an Camp and the Dongshui Camp were not stationed in the city, and this incident, tens of thousands of parishioners inside and outside the city blocked the city gate, and as soon as the city gate was closed, Lang County was really occupied. On the evening of the fourth day of the winter month, Liu Yu got an urgent report from the afternoon, only to know that Daolang County had fallen into the hands of the people, because the imperial army did not carry the burden of attacking the city, and they did not have the time to climb the wall of the group of descendants of Huo Yao, and Lang County became a lonely city. The army attacked the city gate several times in succession, but was repulsed by the parishioners who threw stones and wood from the towers.
The situation in the city was also very chaotic, because there were still a small number of soldiers in the city, and they had weapons in their hands, but they could only occupy some dangerous places to fight against a large number of parishioners, and the ordinary people, especially the people who drove the parishioners out of the city last night, also became the targets of the parishioners' anger. Liu Yu learned from the battle report that by the end of the afternoon, when the army outside the city attacked the city again, the parishioners on the city wall had no weapons in their hands, and even let the old and weak women and children of the city residents be thrown down and stoned.
This time, the situation became very tense. Liu Yu didn't want to do it himself, but now it looks like he has to take a trip. (To be continued......)
