The crowd was surging, and people wanted to squeeze forward to see how the prefects all over the land, who had once been arrogant and mighty, had their black hats removed in an instant. Liu Yu, who took off the black hats of prefect Kang, seemed to be a god with an indescribable dignity in the eyes of ordinary people.

"Everyone, go back to your hometown."

Prefect Kang was taken into a carriage. Liu Yu stood on a high platform and shouted with a "megaphone" rolled up by thick paper, "Go back to your hometown and give your separated relatives a place to live. The government will provide you with relief to the disaster food. You must take up weapons to defend your fields and guard Nanyang Gan, and Nanyang Gan will be harvested."

Liu Yu established his authority in public, and his words were of some use, and could share the hardships with ordinary people and help poor families. But after all, he suddenly changed from the friendly side of the people to the hostile official in the government, which caused a lot of doubts from the crowd.

"Can Nanyang Garlic be eaten? If you can't eat it, you won't be found in the future. Can't those officials still bully us?"

"Reverse! Just reverse!"

Various voices still appeared in the crowd, which was also the result of the long-term grudge between the people and the government. After being bullied for a long time, the people were finally stimulated to be sexually aroused, and it would be difficult to suppress them.

Liu Yu knew that the best way to control the situation was to come up with some effective things, such as food, and there were quite a few money and food embezzled by local officials such as Kang Taishou. It was better to confiscate them and provide relief to the people. Although it may cause uneven situations, this is also the best way to calm the people's hearts, which is to help the people "rob".

"Everyone, you are here to wait first. The court is about to distribute money and grain."

It was half past afternoon and it was almost dusk. Liu Yuben was still worried that the money and grain would not be distributed. Unexpectedly, all the money and grain embezzled by Prefect Kang and others were stored in large warehouses in the city. In name, they were taxes collected for the court, but in fact they would be sold in their private names.

"Food is being distributed!"

At dusk, this sound is everywhere outside the city. Everyone will take a sign to the city to get grain and copper plates. Those who receive the grain can return to their hometown and continue to live their own lives.

It was a long night, and the noise outside the city continued until dawn had not ended. Liu Yu obviously underestimated the power of the masses. From the evening, the refugees around the city rushed over and heard the news. Many of the repeated collections were not a problem. In short, Liu Yu's purpose was to make the silver in the grain warehouse and money warehouse be distributed cleanly at one time. These were the crystallization of the people's blood and sweat, but Liu Yu only did it and was richer to the people, and he didn't feel much regretful.

This was a bold adventure, and Liu Yu was a little bit like robbing the rich and helping the poor. It was not until the next morning that the surging crowds outside the city were dull. Except for the grain and rice for disaster relief, the rest of the stock of money and grain in the city had been distributed.

The people were in a hurry and wanted to ask for more, but the money treasury and grain treasury were empty after all.

After posting the list, Liu Yu also asked the officers and soldiers guarding the city to observe the abnormal movements of the people at any time, for fear that they would continue to loot if they felt they were not enough. But the people were content. After all, the unruly people were a minority. Many people who received money and food even knelt down at the gate of the city to pay their respects. Some people wanted to make trouble, some would persuade them, and some would even take out part of their own to compensate the few.

They are all people in distress. The people also know that they share the same hardships, which touched Liu Yu very much.

Liu Yu didn't expect such a change to occur when passing by Lucheng. The cause of this change was just to think that he was playing with a gyroscope. Yesterday, the old man came over to repay Liu Yu for his kindness, and repeatedly proposed to give his granddaughter to Liu Yu as a cow. Liu Yu refused to give it to him yesterday, and today he would not force others to do so.

"Old man, go home, guard your own acre of three-point land, and don't come out again. I also hope that the weather will be good in the future and there will be no disasters today."

The old man smiled respectfully and said, "What the officials said is that the people who have good weather will live in peace in the future."

Looking at the old man leaving with his granddaughter, Liu Yu did not ask them what their surname was. He always felt that although the old man seemed cowardly, he spoke in an orderly manner and was full of life insights and philosophy. This was not the temperament that an old man in a farmer should reveal. However, Liu Yu did not have the energy to investigate the family's assets again when he met by chance.

"Just let them go?" Huo Bing was supervising the release of food outside the city. When he came in, he looked at the old man and his granddaughter's departure in surprise, "Are you a sucker?"

Liu Yu glanced at him and sighed, "You kid are just unwilling to suffer any loss. Sooner or later, something will happen to you."

Huo Bing is the kind of person who is very fond of things. He refuses to suffer losses and seems particularly tricky. However, his courage is praised by Liu Yu, which is why Liu Yu keeps him by his side.

The group continued to head north and entered Chang'an City on the afternoon of the next day.

He was very low-key when he went there, but when he came back, he seemed low-key. Everything in Chang'an City was as usual and prosperous as before, but Liu Yu saw the crisis of death from this prosperity and excitement.

Liu Yu and Xu Xuanzhu didn't bother to go home and went to the palace to report to the emperor about the process of suppressing the rebellion.

In Yaqian Hall, Su Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Liu Yu. According to him, he had not been able to close his eyes for many days because the war in the Jianghuai area was getting stronger and stronger.

"Where did the envoys from various vassal kings come to Beijing?" Liu Yu asked after reading the most battle report on the front line.

"Stop." Su Yan said, "They just stopped outside Tongguan, neither going in nor returning, as if they were waiting for the imperial court's order. So what the Prime Minister Yuan and those ministers said."

Liu Yu thought to himself and said with a wry smile: "They are not waiting for the imperial court's will. I'm afraid they are trying to persuade the garrison generals of Tongguan to surrender. Since the emperor ascended the throne, the generals and ministers of the Nanyuan who guarded Tongguan and had never submitted any official documents or letters of loyalty to the court. Doesn't this tell the problem?"

Tongguan is the eastern pass of Guanzhong. Once Tongguan is lost, the land in Guanzhong will be flat and dangerous. The trick of the vassal kings is also very clever. In name, it is to let the envoys come to the capital to congratulate the court, and not to break up with the court, but secretly start fighting with the court. This is a trick to hide the world and make the court be neglected to guard against it, especially when the court is weak, they will think that there is still room for maneuvering and will be paralyzed by appearances.

The purpose of this envoy not only confuses the emperor, but also plans for the natural dangers of Guanzhong. Liu Yu knew that what Tongguan said could not fall into the hands of King Huai or other vassal kings. Once Tongguan was lost, Chang'an would be in danger.

"Master, what should I do?" Su Yan also knew the importance of Tongguan and asked nervously.

"There is no way. I heard that Yuan Bolang had a close relationship with the general of Nan Yuan, the minister of the Nan Yuan, and asked him to surrender once this time. As long as the monk and support the court, we still have a glimmer of hope."

Su Yan's face showed a little bit of discomfort when he heard Yuan Bolang. Liu Yu asked carefully and found out that Yuan Bolang had always come to see the emperor these days and had been turned away many times. Liu Yu and Yuan Bolang's relationship was very rigid, making Su Yan not sure whether Yuan Bolang would help this. To be continued.
