In Chang'an City, Liu Wei pressed the hilt of the long sword at his waist with one hand, and led Wang Liu, Wang Zhen and others to walk slowly along the bluestone paved road.

The businesses on both sides of the market are closed, and the whole street is full of people.

However, the people on the edge of the market were not wandering on the street, but were so hungry that they were lying on the side of the street, helplessly looking at Liu Wei and others who were walking by the market.

"I didn't expect Jing Zhaoyin to be so badly affected." While walking, Liu Wei said to Wang Liu and Wang Zhen who followed behind him: "Let people give an order, send a batch of food into the city as soon as possible, and save people first." ”

Wang Zhen answered, turned around and waved his hand at one of the guards behind him.

After the guard left, Liu Wei continued: "The same insect plague and the same flooding, but why is there a normal harvest of grain in the eastern part of the country, but this is the case in Jingzhaoyin and other places? ”

"Your Highness!" After listening to Liu Wei's words, Wang Liu whispered to him: "The insect plague is not everywhere, but the Yin area of Henan is more serious. As for the floods, Hongnong, Hedong and Henan Yin diverted the main streams, but when they reached the lower reaches, the floods were difficult to flood, so many places downstream were not affected. ”

"Ugh!" Liu Wei was stunned, then nodded, looked at the hungry people all over the city, and said to Wang Liu: "This king was named the king of Qin, I think it should be Cao Cao in order to occupy Yanzhou, and deliberately presented it to His Majesty, and handed over the two most severely affected boundaries of Jing Zhaoyin and Zuo Fengyi to this king. In order to provide disaster relief, the Luoyang army went out to fight for food and grass, and it was difficult for the king to intervene in the east. ”

"Your Highness is benevolent, although you know that it is a plan, you still accept the two places." Walking behind Liu Wei, clasping his fists with both hands, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen praised at the same time.

"The times are heroes, and they are also ordinary people." The corners of Liu Wei's mouth tugged slightly, and he said to the two: "Save more people, this king is also saving himself!" Thinking about Cao Cao, I am afraid that it was also because Jing Zhaoyin and Zuo Fengyi were seriously affected but could not intervene, so they handed over the mess in these two places to this king. It's hard for him. ”

"Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and even His Royal Highness is calculating, which is really hateful!" Speaking of Cao Cao, Wang Liu clenched his fists tightly and said hatefully: "Sooner or later, his head will be taken off and worshiped in the Han Temple." ”

"Do you think Cao Cao is a traitor or a hero?" Hearing Wang Liu's words, Liu Wei stopped, turned to face Wang Liu and Wang Zhen, and asked them.

"Traitor!" Wang Liu and Wang Zhen were asked abruptly, and they answered almost in unison, and Wang Zhen went on to say to Liu Wei: "Especially to hold His Majesty hostage today, and to control all the princes in the name of His Majesty, it shows his true character of traitor!" ”

"Adulterous?" Liu Wei shook his head slowly, waved his hand at the two, and said to them, "You are wrong! Cao Cao is a practical man! The coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes was secretly promoted by this king. If Cao Cao is a traitor, isn't this king a traitor among traitors? ”

Hearing Liu Bian's words, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen were stunned, glanced at each other, and didn't dare to answer Liu Bian's words.

"This king is also here to live!" Continuing to walk forward, Liu Wei said softly to Wang Liu and Wang Zhen: "Now that the name of the Luoyang army has long been spread all over the world, if this king welcomes His Majesty to Luoyang, should he hand over the power to him?" If it is handed over to him, he will be afraid of this king, and this king's life may be lost sooner or later! ”

Following behind Liu Bian, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen were all stunned, they didn't expect that Liu Bian would make a detour to Hedong to return to Luoyang after conquest of Gongsun Zhan, and he secretly wanted to help Cao Cao take Liu Xie away.

"Do you two know where the assassins in Dangcheng, except for the assassins in Liaodong, Luoyang, Huainan and other places, want this king to die the most?" The two female generals behind him did not speak, and Liu Wei asked them softly.

Wang Liu and Wang Zhen both shook their heads, both of them looked uncertain.

"This is it! Changan! Liu Wei pointed to the bluestone pavement under his feet with one hand and said to them: "The one who sent the assassin is His Majesty today. Before the power is in his hands, he is already eager for the king to die immediately, and you may not know the extent to which His Majesty is already afraid of this king. ”

"But why did Your Majesty do this today?" Knowing these things from Liu Wei's mouth, Wang Liu asked in a low voice: "His Royal Highness's strength is like the sky, and it is also possible to have more Kuangfu Han Family......

"This king is the deposed emperor after all!" Pursing his lips and narrowing his eyes slightly, Liu Wei said to Wang Liu: "Today's heroes, those who support this king, I am afraid that there are more people who support today's majesty. If this king raises his arms and announces his accession to the throne, His Majesty will become a usurper and thief. If it were to be the king, I'm afraid I would do the same! ”

"The most ruthless emperor's family!" Liu Wei shook his head, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then said to the two: "The palace battle, you still don't know much. When the queen mother of Japan can successfully ascend the throne as the king, and poison His Majesty's biological mother, how can His Majesty not hold a grudge against this king? ”

I never thought that the environment in which Liu Wei lived was so complicated, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen were stunned, and when they looked at Liu Bian, their eyes flashed with an indescribable sadness.

Living in such an environment, you have to face intrigue all day long, it is not easy to survive, and it is even more difficult to govern Luoyang and other places in an orderly manner.

From this moment on, the two's admiration for Liu Wei has climbed to a higher height.

"Let's talk about disaster relief." When he was about to walk to the Chang'an Palace, Liu Wei stopped, looked at the place where he had met Liu Xie, and said to Wang Liu and Wang Zhen behind him: "Don't let the disaster victims flow into Hongnong, Hedong and other places. Under the hunger of the victims, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not do something out of the ordinary. The king's job is to help them rebuild their homes, not just to keep them alive. ”

Truckloads of grain and grass were transported into Chang'an Cheng from outside the city, and the soldiers who escorted the grain and grass were sent to the palace in the city, and the Luoyang military musketeers, who had already made arrangements in the palace, cooked the grain and grass into meals.

Pieces of victims were crowded outside the palace gate, receiving food under the watchful eye of the soldiers of the Luoyang Army's partial battalion.

After being hungry for many days, some victims in Chang'an City even began to eat human flesh, and suddenly there was relief food allocated from other places.

After separating from Liu Wei, Xu Shu and Jia Xu also went to disaster relief along a predetermined route.

Everywhere they went, the fields were barren and withered.

Civilians were starving to death everywhere on the road, and the flesh of many of them had been cut off by others, and I am afraid that it had already become food for the stomachs of other victims.

The piles of white bones made Xu Shu and Jia Xu completely understand that Liu Wei would know what was right and jump into this fire pit.

If you don't accept the canonization of King Qin and don't provide disaster relief to the two places, I'm afraid that countless victims will flock to Hongnong and Hedong.

At that time, if the victims are forcibly not allowed to enter, the hungry and panicked victims will lose their minds, and there will definitely be friction with the Luoyang Army's partial camp, and it is imperative to massacre the victims!

Rather than waiting until the situation is difficult to clean up and then deal with it, it is better to climb up the pole, and accept these two places, and accept the canonization of King Qin.

Heroes from all walks of life are competing for Xuzhou in the east, and now they have no time or even dare to look west. Although disaster relief will consume a lot of grain and grass, making it impossible for the Luoyang army to go on an expedition, it can also allow the Luoyang army to recuperate and let the soldiers live a stable life.

In Yin, Hedong, Hongnong and other places in Henan, carts full of grain and grass slowly marched towards Jing Zhaoyin and Zuo Fengyi under the escort of the Luoyang Army.

The steady flow of grain soon alleviated the food shortage in the two places.

In addition to allocating grain and grass from various places, Liu Wei also ordered the soldiers to raid the homes of the original officials in the two places, and all officials who found that they had hoarded a large amount of grain at home were dragged to the entrance of the market for questioning.

Many merchants who hoarded grain learned that the original officials in the two places were dragged to the entrance of the market by the Luoyang army in pieces, and in a panic, they also handed over the hoarded grain and grass.

In the Chang'an Imperial Palace, Liu Wei sat in the position where Liu Xie had sit, leaned slightly sideways, and listened to an official who had recently been transferred to Chang'an to investigate the treasury report to him the amount of grain, grass and wealth seized from Chang'an City, and his face was already pale.

"The hoarding of private grain is more than five times the full treasury of the government!" After the official reported the amount of grain and wealth confiscated, Liu Wei pinched his chin with one hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said to the official: "You go down and tell those merchants who have handed over the hoarded grain and grass to keep enough rations for their own families, and hand over the rest, and this king will not be held accountable." As for those who are still unwilling to hand over the hoards of grain and try to live in strange goods, kill! ”

"No!" The official responded with a clenched fist and exited the hall.

After the official withdrew from the city, Wang Liu walked out from the side and whispered to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, since we entered Chang'an, we have killed hundreds of people......

"Woe to parents, wives and children, otherwise more people will die!" Pinching his chin with one hand, Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and said to Wang Liu: "In troubled times, you should use heavy canons, right now Jing Zhaoyin and Zuo Fengyi have new grain and grass transferred in, and the disaster has rarely been alleviated, but there are still many people who want to take advantage of the chaos to make profits." Whoever intends to enrich his own pockets and make a fortune under such circumstances will be delayed! ”

has followed Liu Wei for a long time, but Wang Liu has never heard of who Liu Wei wants to deal with.

After Liu Wei said this, Wang Liu was stunned for a moment, and then hugged his fists and said to Liu Wei: "I will do this at the end!" ”

nodded, and when Wang Liu left the hall, Liu Wei also stood up, put his hands behind his back, walked to the door of the hall, and looked at the white marble steps under the hall.

Wang Zhen, who stayed by Liu Bian's side to protect him, saw him standing at the door of the main hall, and hurriedly followed, standing straight behind Liu Bian, looking at the white marble steps below the hall like him.
