The imperial court's desire to rein in power is very obvious, and the so-called new policy has not injected fresh blood into the social economy. It doesn't benefit the people.

Liu Yu always felt that something would go wrong, but after all, this was the first major thing Su Yan set out to do after becoming emperor, and he just let it go if he could.

At the same time, the second group of soldiers of the border army has been retreating in the direction of Guanzhong, most of these generals are Guanzhong people, with the new army and the garrison troops around Chang'an City being the majority. However, the people in the imperial court did not think that this was an ordinary withdrawal of troops, they thought that this was Hua Ji'an "forcing the palace".

As the saying goes, the snow is a good year, but this year, there is a lot of snow in Chang'an City, and the people in the city are most concerned about the clearing of the snow. In the streets and alleys, the government also put up notices and hired scattered people to clean up the snow in the city. It seems that the government seems to be very considerate of the people, but the cleanup organized by the government is only a few streets in the city where commerce is developed, and as for the several slums in Chang'an City, they don't care if they are buried by heavy snow, and every household still has to clean up the snow in front of their doors.

When Liu Yu returned to Chang'an City, he had more time, and if he didn't go out for a few days, he wanted to go for a walk in a crowded place. It happened that on the tenth day of the first lunar month, Sui Yi and Li Mi came, these two people used to be the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, and the other was the president of the Yamen of the Defense Division, which can be said to be a combination of power, but this time they returned to the dynasty in triumph, although their official positions were not reduced, but they were not promoted, and more importantly, they all had grades and no official positions, and they were also idle like Liu Yu, and became alternate officials.

As soon as people were free, Sui Yi pulled Li Mi to find Liu Yu. Talk to him about it. In fact, it's also to find a way out of the head to go for a walk. They are also bored at home on weekdays.

“…… Chang'an City is now very lively, Hu merchants are everywhere, and there are really all kinds of bells and whistles. There are also some people from the Western Regions, their attire is very strange, I heard that they are still inquiring about a person named Su Wu, it may be that this Su Wu owes money to these people, and they have come all the way to Chang'an City to collect debts......"

After Sui Yi came to the Qianfeng General's Mansion, he kept talking, from the snow scene of Chang'an City to eating, drinking and having fun. Liu Yu basically couldn't listen to what he said, but about the people in the Western Regions, Liu Yu paid a little attention.

The Loulan people sent envoys to Chang'an City, and Han Sheng had mentioned this matter earlier.

Now the imperial court has no heart to deal with them, after all, the Turkic envoys and the imperial court have not entertained them, let alone the small countries of the Western Regions. But the people of Loulan did not give up, this time they sent the national teacher Chetu, this woman came to Chang'an City with a team of envoys to prepare for the Shun Dynasty to fulfill its promise to form an alliance with Loulan, who knew that when she arrived in Chang'an City, she knew that there was no one named Su Wu in the Shun Dynasty court. The Loulan Kingdom paid the price of the southern border for the sake of the Shun Dynasty's army. They also requisitioned a large amount of grain and people with the army, and at this time they wanted to pacify Nanloulan. Only then did he know that Lu Dao was pitted by the Shun Dynasty, and Chetu looked for Su Wu's whereabouts in Chang'an City as if he had gone crazy.

It's useless to look for it, even if she is smart, she can't imagine that the envoy of the Shun Dynasty who was easily kidnapped by her and returned to China will be Liu Wenyan, the marshal of the Shun Dynasty's army. And the forward general's mansion is heavily guarded, and it is difficult for her to get close, let alone find someone.

Liu Yu saw Sui Yi's impatient appearance, and said: "If you don't have an official position, you can take a good rest, and when you get busy in the future, you want to walk around Chang'an City so comfortably, but you don't have time." ”

Sui Yi smiled and said, "I'm not looking for you, let's go shopping together." ”

"Where to go?" Liu Yu held the book in his hand and glanced at Sui Yi, "Xiaohualou? Zangyunfang? ”

"This place is so unstylish, it's not appropriate for us to be noble now, like this...... Let's go directly to the workshop, choose a few girls with good looks to dance, sing songs, and drink a few glasses, how interesting do you think? ”

Sui Yi likes to eat, drink and have fun on weekdays, and there are many ghost ideas, if you want to say that even high-ranking officials and nobles can't go to a place like Jiaofang, if there is a singing and dancing performance in the house, then you should send a letter to invite according to the rules, and then the people on the other side of the Jiaofang will arrange it. If it is the peak season of performances in Chang'an City, even the dignitaries and nobles have to wait in line.

Thinking of the teaching workshop, Liu Yu remembered Sima Xuan'er, after Liu Yu returned to Chang'an City, he just went out to see Li Sha'er, or went back. For this dancer who was "adopted" by him, he didn't have time to meet it yet.

"Do you think the people in the workshop will entertain you?" Liu Yu asked, "You are no longer Jingzhao Mansion Yin now, and the people in the sect don't need to give you face." ”

"They dare! I'm not bragging, I'm easy to do with money. We are going to prepare silver this time, you said that with the prestige of your Marquis Wuyi, plus our two court officials, go to that station, if he doesn't obediently find out the best girl for us, he won't want to live a comfortable life in the future! Sui Yi said, looked at the inner hall, and didn't see the ladies in the house, "Brother Liu is not inconvenient, right?" ”

"Convenience is convenient, but there is one thing that must be agreed upon in advance."

Sui Yi asked urgently, "What's the matter?" ”

"Gotta be back before dark!"

Sui Yi said with a gloomy face when he heard this: "That's so boring, if you don't go back, Brother Li and I will stay and be happy." ”

Liu Yu sighed helplessly, he knew that Sui Yi and the young lady of the Lan family were already ready to get married, but because of the delay of this war, seeing that Sui Yi returned to Chang'an City, the original marriage was about to be implemented. Sui Yi wants to go crazy before getting married, and this trip must be a woman's refusal.

Liu Yu didn't bring many guards back this time, plus there were few snowmen on the street, so they were very public, so Liu Yu asked the guards to dress up, far away, so that the three of them pretended to be ordinary scholars, with one or two entourages, to Chang'an City to be merry.

This time, Liu Yu's main purpose was to distract himself.

has been fighting abroad for a long time, and when he comes back, he has to keep a low profile and can't come out, and his life is quite boring. Thinking about the days when I was unofficial and light, I still miss the days of leisurely and leisurely in the chess building of Chang'an City.

He also had several purposes for coming out this time, that is, to meet some acquaintances, in the theater garden of Jinchangfang in the south of the city, there was also his secret cell, which also held several important prisoners, mainly people from the vassal king's faction. Among them is the only daughter of King Huai, the lord of Min County, Su Min, Zhao Yingxi and Zhao Su's mother and daughter are not inside, it is said that at this time, the king of Hejian County, who was shot by Liu Yu, has recovered, and the family of King Hejian is also under house arrest in the mansion of Chang'an City, and rarely can come out.

The three of them are walking, the street is also very lively, after the snow Chang'an City children run out, while skiing and snowball fights, so lively, and adults are generally clearing the snow, the residents of Chang'an City in winter are generally busy for a year, and when the winter calms down, it is also the day when the family reunites without going to work. At this time, Chang'an City is also full of the warm taste of family.

"Brother Liu, have you heard of something?" Li Mi suddenly asked Liu Yu for no reason.

"What?"

"Do you remember that Liu Mei'er at the beginning? I heard that she is still alive and is still performing in Xiaohualou. ”

Liu Meier is a dancer who looks very much like Liu Liniang, on the day of the performance in Xiaohualou, the three of them also went, when Su Yan and the Hui envoy Prince Dadu secretly discussed the joint dispatch of troops in Xiaohualou, Liu Meier followed Dadu back to the National Post House that night, and then the assassination occurred, and Liu Meier disappeared. This case became an unsolved case at that time, and after half a year's work, Liu Meier actually came back safely?

"Has the government inquired about it?"

"Yes, yes, but there is no result, so I will release it to her. After that, she seemed to be accepted as a concubine by some of the senior officials in the court, but she was soon sent back, and now few people go to watch the show. For a few silver, you can spend the Spring Festival with her. ”

A phoenix with a falling hair is not as good as a chicken. At the beginning, the officials and nobles of Chang'an City flocked to Liu Meier, and that was also because Liu Meier looked like Liu Liniang, and people couldn't see Liu Liniang and saw her have a good time. Now she is thinner than Huanghua, and it is not uncommon to be out of breath.

Liu Yu still had some twists and turns in this story, the parties to the assassination at that time, Prince Dadu and Liu Mei'er, did not die that day, but the assassin's whereabouts have been unknown. This Liu Meier had a great difficulty escaping, and she was still raised by high-ranking officials and nobles? It seems that this high-ranking official and nobleman is the culprit of this assassination.

"I'll have time to check it out." Liu Yudao.

Sui Yi smiled and said, "Brother Liu doesn't go to look for it, what else do I want to find?" That girl didn't know each other, she didn't give us face that day, and now she didn't end up like this? Brother Liu, you might as well do this, I will ask someone to go to Xiaohualou to summon her to the teaching workshop, and dance to relieve our boredom. Do you think so? ”

Liu Yu nodded, anyway, he was going to the teaching workshop, and it didn't hurt to call Liu Mei'er. But Liu Yu was still a little vigilant about this woman in his heart, don't let her really collude with Liu Liniang. Thinking of Liu Liniang, Liu Yu suddenly felt that the coquettish woman who often appeared in front of him had not seen it for a long time.

How is she doing?

Liu Yue does not deny that he is very abusive, and now he actually has a little affection for Liu Liniang in his heart, which makes him feel a little helpless. But who called Liu Liniang so wild and untamable?

When they arrived at the workshop, the acquaintances at the door did not dare to stop them, it was not the first time that the brothers had come here, and those with strong eyes did not dare to offend the people who were now naked in the court.

Liu Yu and the three of them were able to enter easily, and they were going to call the steward to come out, but Liu Yu didn't allow it, listening to the tactful sound of silk and bamboo inside, some little dancers even peeked at the window, obviously rehearsing a very wonderful dance.

Liu Yu really wanted to go in and see what kind of show was being rehearsed.

"Go away, go away." Sui Yi impatiently rewarded the Zhike with two taels of silver, drove the Zhike away, and the three of them went to the door together, the sound of silk and bamboo inside was more pleasant, and I saw that the middle of the dance hall was full of flowers, and more than a dozen dancers were performing in a circle in gorgeous costumes. It seems that the dance has reached its climax.

Liu Yu didn't find Sima Xuan'er from the dancing girl.

But looking at the teaching next to her, Han Sheng's old friend Aunt Xuan stood aside, while Sima Xuan'er, who was dressed in plain clothes, stood beside her, and from time to time instructed the dancers in their dance steps and movements. Liu Yue smiled indifferently, it seems that Sima Xuan'er has become a teacher in the singing and dancing workshop. (To be continued......)
