Although the new Jiedu envoy Li Yong and the governor of the metropolitan governor, Shi Hantai, arrived successively, the case of Wei Dan's assassination has not been solved for a long time. Li Yong and Han Tae's greatest contribution was to quickly stabilize the situation in Huainan. Li Yong has now begun to mobilize the engineering team and the people to continue Wei Dan's unfinished business -- Kaitang. Historically, these two ponds were supposed to be completed by Li Jifu, one named Guben and the other Fumin.

In fact, since Liu Changyi arrived in Luoyang, the detection of Wei Dan's case has been revealed. However, the detection was deliberately delayed or suspended. And the public opinion of the government and the opposition has pointed to Huaixi. The reason is very simple, Wu Shaocheng's goal was to plunder Huainan, and just when he wanted to go east, Wei Dan was assassinated, and the two things were linked, even a fool could think of what was going on.

And Hankoi's investigation in Yangzhou showed that the boss behind a big salt merchant investigated before Wei Dan's assassination was Huaixi, and after this news was revealed to "This Spring and Autumn" by a Huainan petty official named Mu Jie, the angry saliva of the government and the opposition spurted to Huaixi endlessly. Huaixi's denial was considered a deliberate cover-up. In fact, Wu Shaocheng is really wronged, he believes that strength determines everything, and he doesn't bother to do such a thing as assassination. But it looks like he has to carry this black cauldron.

Looking at the Tang Dynasty, who likes to engage in crooked ways, Li Yu knows very well in his heart that Liu Changyi's investigation has only confirmed his thoughts. It's just that if the results are announced, it will be the imperial court that will fall into passivity. When the time is ripe to level Huaixi, Li Yu will naturally go to the culprit to settle accounts. But does anyone understand this piece of painstaking work?

At least the young Bai Juyi didn't understand. Bai Juyi is in his thirties, and it is the time when he is strong and ambitious, and he dares to do anything, dare to think and speak. Because he is also in charge of Hanlin, he and Cui Qunfu are in charge of the prince's secrets in Luoyang, so he knows many confidential things. Bai Juyi was very dissatisfied with the imperial court and Li Yu's secretive and procrastinating attitude, and it could even be said that he was extremely indignant. Within ten days, he wrote three times in succession, severely criticizing the emperor and the ruling government for delaying the speed of detection and deliberately indulging the murderer's bad behavior. Due to the close relationship between Bai Juyi and "The History of Chunming", it led to an uproar in public opinion. In a fit of rage, Li Yu asked Li Jifu what to do?

The furious Li Jifu said:

"Degraded."

Li Yu asked Li Jiang what to do?

Li Jiang said slowly:

"Degrade!"

Regardless of that era, the prestige of the government is unchallengeable. Neither Li Yu nor Li Jifu, nor even Pei Yan and Li Jiang, who were known for their gentleness, could not tolerate Bai Juyi's irresponsible behavior of sabotaging the imperial court's plans.

"A stupid sober is better than a smart fool."

In fact, a person's fate is often determined by his own character, such as Bai Juyi. Li Yu didn't want to see Bai Juyi, who just wanted to write leisurely poems, so he protected Bai Juyi's outspoken and jealous character, and it could even be said that he connived. Sometimes Bai Juyi's words were too much, and Li Yu only smiled slightly. For more than two years, Bai Juyi's courage to speak has caught up with Han Yu. However, Han Yu has been in Chang'an for a long time now, and he has also reached a certain high position, after all, he has become a lot old, he knows Li Yu's thoughts and difficulties, and knows what to say and what not to say. Bai Juyi is still young.

Being young is not an excuse for irresponsibility. Since there will be no mistakes in the imperial court, someone must bear the mistakes. Bai Juyi also picked up the legacy of the left, and it was his duty to write a letter to exhort him, and it cannot be said that he overstepped his duties and said things (in the eighth year of Yuanhe, Bai Juyi, who served as a doctor in the East Palace, because of the assassination of Wu Yuanheng, wrote a book to exhort him to hunt down the murderer, and was degraded by the eunuch to Jiangzhou Sima for overstepping his duties), so it can only be said that he is arrogant.

In May, because of Bai Juyi's inappropriate remarks, he discussed the rights and wrongs of his father in vain, and belittled Bai Juyi's Sima in Yongzhou, Hunan. An official who Liu Zongyuan has been in history. The edict ordered him to leave immediately. Bai Juyi had to put down the "Shiwen" that was being prepared, and went to Hunan with grief and indignation. Before leaving, Cui Qun took time to give him a meal, and after the banquet, Bai Juyi, who was depressed, sighed, "The eunuch journey has been farewell since then, and the world will not be opened from now on", "The face is full of sorrow and joy, and the heart of right and wrong is eliminated in the chest." After the poem came out, public opinion was sympathetic, but Li Yu's evaluation was "Gu Ying's self-pity". After Bai Juyi was demoted, Wang Ya was immediately sent to Luoyang to assist the prince.

Due to the severe drought, the popularization of rice in Zhancheng accelerated, and Liu Zongyuan generously sold 30,000 rice seeds to Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan and other places. After the summer harvest, new rice from Liangzhejiang and Huainan filled the official warehouses in Luoyang, and then transported to Guanzhong, and new rice from Jiangxi, Hunan, and Lingnan gathered in Jiangling. Then go up the Han River to reach the gold merchants.

Guanzhong, Hezhong, and Hedong, where the drought was relatively light, received bumper harvests. The soldiers are well fed, and it is a good time to rejuvenate their muscles and bones. After the summer harvest, the troops assembled in Luoyang and other places were ready to guard against the robbery of Huaixi thieves. This summer, Huaixi was in arrears, and in order to maintain a huge military expenditure, Wu Shaocheng had to increase taxes. Huaixi has fallen into a state of abject poverty, the people are like beggars, and the army is like bandits. The acres of land have decreased sharply, and the number of people has withered. The long-term confrontation with the imperial court has put Huaixi in a desperate situation. What do people who are in a desperate situation do? Take risks and fight for your life. The Huaixi army was already strong, but now it was more like a hungry wolf, with a green light flashing in its eyes, ready to wait for an opportunity to pounce on its prey.

But there are many kinds of wolves, some are wild and difficult to tame, the wolf nature does not change, and some like to be with people, and after a long time, they are domesticated into dogs••••••

Just when Wu Shaocheng was restless and finally sent an envoy to Luoyang, the prince's car left Luoyang, but not to return to Chang'an, but to Kaifeng. There is a Bao Qingtian in Kaifeng, which is a matter of the Song Dynasty, and now it is Han Hong, the envoy of the Biansong Festival, who is in charge of Kaifeng. Since the prince was stationed in Luoyang, the envoys of the towns in the south and north all went to Luoyang to meet the prince and brought some beauties or something. Of course, they were all rejected by the prince. As a reward for their loyalty to these festival envoys, Li Chun gave each of them a cotton cloth single coat that was now a rarity. Even Li Shidao, who was far away in Yunzhou, sent Gao Mu to see the prince and led a few cotton clothes back, only Han Hong, who said that he was suffering from foot disease and had difficulty moving, sent his son Han Gongwu to see the prince. Li Shidao was far away in Ziqing, but Han Hong, who was a high-ranking official of the school and Tongping Zhang, was in Kaifeng, saying that he was sick and did not see the prince. This made Zheng Yuqing, Liu Changyi and others deeply dissatisfied. However, Li Chun didn't care, and said to Zheng Yuqing:

"He does not come to see the widow, but the widow goes to see him."
