Regarding Guan Xiuyan's inexplicable death, Liu Bang was reluctant to do more research on the surface, he knew that this matter was inseparable from Empress Lu, even if she didn't do it herself, it was also done by her cronies, such as her brother and nephews. There is no need to investigate this matter, Liu Bang has already known the truth according to the words of the old farmer and the county Cheng.

The next day, Liu Bang couldn't let go of the news of Guan Xiuyan's death would be transmitted to the palace, he wrote the edict in the front hall early, and sent two eunuchs to send the two edicts to Shangdang County immediately, and told the county guard Ren Ao about Guan Xiuyan's matter to deal with it on the spot, and don't let the news cross the Yellow River. The eunuch received the edict and hurriedly set off to ride his horse east. Even so, Liu Bang still felt guilty in his heart, he was more concerned about women, after all, Mrs. Guan is now pregnant with the emperor, and she must not have something happen at this juncture, so she had to make some material compensation to her, and suddenly rewarded Mrs. Guan with some things, Mrs. Guan was overwhelmed by this sudden reward, and she was happy that the emperor was really interested in herself, and she was very happy and smiled and did not ask the reason.

The two eunuchs had just left for only half a cup of tea, and a small eunuch came in to report that Liu Jing, the Fengchun Jun who went to the Xiongnu to marry, was about to return to the court, and had entered the border line of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a flat face, more specifically, he should have a trace of worry on his face, after all, he came back, I don't know what news Liu Jing brought back from the Huns, has Liu Lu's identity been discovered, and will Princess Sha Ling'er speak for the Han Court when she returns to the Huns like she did in the Han Court? After all, the Huns were barbaric and arrogant and did not keep their promises, even if Sha Ling'er had personally promised him to entertain Liu Lu, but somehow, Liu Bang was always uneasy in his heart, and there was also how Mao Dunshan replied to the Jiuyuan County area, and what was the reaction of his ministers. Liu Bang's face became solemn after thinking about it, and he waved his hand to call the eunuch down.

The ministers who can talk to him about the affairs of the world are all out of business, and Chen Ping has not heard from him as soon as he goes to Qi State, and he doesn't know what happened to him in Qi State. Prime Minister Xiao He was busy dealing with the thieves in Guanzhong, and they helped Xiao He deal with the matter of the bureaucratic landlords annexing farmland, but in Liu Bang's opinion, the effect would not be very great, these ministers belonged to the bureaucratic landlords, how could they handle this matter well. And Xiao He will collide with Gao Qi Wangling, because the things they deal with belong to the before and after, it can also be said to be one thing, Xiao He's handling of the thieves in Guanzhong must be linked to the annexation of farmland by bureaucratic landlords, and Gao Qi Wangling They are not good at dealing with the things between the lives of the people, usually when Chu and Han fought for hegemony, the Bashu Hanzhong region and the Guanzhong area all belonged to Xiao He to stay and deal with it, and the town and the country did a good job of raising the people to give salaries, and won the hearts of the people. There was a lot of pressure, and the three of them also discussed with each other before implementing it. Besides, his brother-in-law Fan Hao is born big and coarse, and he is often the first person to arrive before he arrives, and he is often the most straightforward. But if you want to talk about big things with him, don't say that he doesn't have great courage, it's just that some things can't be talked about to the point, and you can't come up with a good way to solve things, and everything else is okay.

For a while, Liu Bang felt that the palace was much more deserted, not that the concubines were no longer jealous, but that the ministers were not by his side, and he suddenly remembered that when he fought the world, the brothers were vigorous and energetic to dominate the world for themselves.

The first rays of sunlight in the early morning slowly shone into the front hall facing south, and Liu Bang's face, which was still shining, was deepened, and the swaying on the crown in front of him swayed, as if he understood his thoughts, leaning slightly on the couch, holding his forehead with one hand and thinking about these things.

Suddenly gestured to the eunuchs waiting on both sides, saying that they were going to see the prime minister outside the palace, speaking of which, it was not the first time that the emperor had gone outside the palace, and there was usually no danger, and there were military attachés who were close to protect the emperor. A eunuch immediately went to pass the news that Xiahou Ying, Marquis of Ruyin, was preparing a carriage and horse, and a eunuch hurriedly went to find Fan Xu, who was inspecting the security of the Beijing Division, and was going to go to Longxi County to check the people's feelings, so that they could protect the emperor's safety.

instructed the palace maids and eunuchs not to eat in the palace today, but to eat in the private houses outside the palace today, and to see how the people's lives are. Liu Bang got into the carriage surrounded by Fan Xu, and Fan Xu, who turned over and led the way. Approaching Chang'an Avenue, there are fewer and fewer people to see, and from time to time I see a small group of people running forward with each other, and the people who follow the emperor feel strange, and they are busy sending a eunuch to ask a person to come and ask only to know that Prime Minister Xiao He is not far in front of him to post a holy list to deal with the matter of thieves in Guanzhong.

Liu Bang didn't allow anyone to disturb Xiao He and the people, so he only called Fan Hao and Guan Ying to follow him to have a look, and Xiahou Ying and the others stopped in place and waited for them. There is a downtown in front of it, which is the most lively area of Chang'an Avenue in the past, of course, the official family should also choose here to release the imperial list documents, so that the people can know the edict of the Son of Heaven straightforwardly. Along the way, I saw that there were people around me running past him and going to the downtown in front, as if the people didn't know themselves, and occasionally a few young people hurriedly ran but accidentally bumped into themselves, Fan Xu around him was the most anxious and disgusted, and actually dared to arch the day, and immediately rushed to the crown angrily to pull out the knife, and the person who accidentally hit the emperor didn't know Liu Bang's identity, but he saw that the momentum of their faction of officials was enough to scare them, and he nodded again and again, saying good things. Liu Bang didn't want Fan Hao to be reckless and ruin his image in the hearts of the people, Fan Tuzi drew his knife and was forcefully blocked back by Liu Bang with one hand in an instant, and let go of the person who accidentally bumped into him, but continued to move forward quietly. Bypassing an inconspicuous stall, I saw Xiao He standing on the platform from a distance, and the people gathered around Xiao He to listen to him, Liu Bang did not move forward, and stopped to watch Xiao He.

“…… His Majesty the Emperor has issued an edict to solve the recent theft of most households in Guanzhong. For everyone's compensation, His Majesty the Emperor does not dare to forget, so those who are stolen from the house will be exempted from forced labor for two years, and for those who have moved to Bashu Guandong, we will not recall, and choose a place to live in peace, arrange their household registration, and reorganize the household to the people......" Xiao He patiently explained to everyone, like the ancient sage Zhou Gongdan's only love for the people.

Liu Bang, who was watching Xiao He from afar, moved his mouth slightly, Xiao He is indeed a virtuous minister who can deal with the affairs of the people, Fan Hao smiled and said, "Old Xiao, no, the prime minister is quite like Zhou Gongdan." Liu Bang stared at Fan Xu for a long time without saying a word.

Seeing the situation, Guan Ying immediately answered, "Because the emperor is like a martial king." Liu Bang's face gradually turned joyful, and he told them not to speak.

"Prime Minister Xiao, His Majesty the Emperor has dealt with our favors, and I don't know how to punish those hateful thieves." A young man wearing a white scarf in a not very gorgeous dress broke through the crowd, stretched his neck and raised his voice to suppress other chaotic voices and asked Xiao He.

"His Majesty the Emperor has an order, one is to build an aqueduct; one is on the edge; One is to build the Changling Tomb of Xianyang Plain. If you do not follow any of the above, you will not be forgiven. Everyone was delighted and praised for the wonderfulness of this method. Xiao He reassured a little and said, "This emperor list is not only for everyone, I hope everyone can spread it through this, the wider the better, I believe those thieves can also see it." At that time, if there is no result, and the theft is even worse, His Majesty the Emperor will make a better decision, you don't need to worry, this is a warning and a announcement, the court will deal with it, for the thieves who have been caught, we will deal with it, if it is serious and has no intention of repentance, it will be beheaded here on the same day. Xiao He's eyes were firm, and he said confidently, on behalf of the emperor to inform the people of the emperor's thoughts, and suddenly the people's support was surging and rejoicing.

Xiao He took advantage of everyone's happiness and said, "The list of thieves I released is by no means a scare and intimidation, I hope they can return to the farmland." We are about to deal with the annexation of farmland by some bureaucratic landlords a few days ago, so some people who have been forced into theft can return to their homes to work in agriculture in peace, and they will never be robbed, and the DPRK and China will give them benefits. For some full-time thieves, once caught, the punishment is more severe. ”

Everyone raised their hands again and cheered, "Long live the emperor......"

Liu Bang, who was watching quietly from a distance, also admired Xiao He in his heart, didn't want to disturb him, and didn't appear in front of Xiao He and the people in order not to cause trouble, and turned around and left silently in the cheers of everyone, he was not needed here, the prime minister had done a good job, conveyed his will very well, and the people surrendered.

Fan Hao and Guan Ying were on the side, seeing the prime minister like this, and also understood why the emperor turned around and left, the emperor was relieved that Xiao He dealt with this matter, he admired and trusted Xiao He, and naturally had nothing to do with himself. Liu Bang whistled in his mouth and brushed the back of his sleeves away.
