Resetting the Left Prime Minister was Liu Yu's means to balance the civil servants in Chang'an City, allowing him to have more energy to deal with forces outside Chang'an City.

The vassal kings occupied nearly half of the territory of the world. Although they paid tribute to the court every year, the number of tributes was decreasing year by year, while the vassal kings' government troops increased year by year, and military pay expenses accounted for most of the taxes in the vassal areas. Including the King of Huai, all the vassal kings were sharpening their knives and ready to stab the court at any time.

The power of the new emperor only covered Tongguan and ordered some border troops to withdraw the edict to Chang'an City. Liu Zhao, the Marquis of Dingguo, did not abide by it. He still held troops at the border and prepared to start a war against the Turks. Liu Yu knew that the forces that threatened the court were not in the north, but in the south.

The dismissal of the right prime minister led by Yuan Bolang was not settled, and another wave began. On the evening of August 19, several fast horses from the three southwest counties in Guanzhong brought unexpected news to Liu Yu. In the three southwest counties with severe drought, conflicts between refugees and government broke out. In order to grab porridge, the refugees killed and injured officials, and then organized themselves to become rebels and captured the county town. Soon, many disaster victims responded. Among the three Guannan counties, there were more than ten county towns that were looted by refugees overnight.

Because most of the local regiment training garrison battalions were recruited, and with insufficient food and salary, the defense in many areas was relaxed, making the local government unable to fight against the looting of refugees. This black trend is spreading northward, threatening Chang'an City at any time.

Misfortune broke out inside the wall.

Originally, the drought in Guanzhong and the Bintian of the First Emperor had made the Guanzhong area very uneasy. Although it seems that it is just a refugee causing trouble, once this trend breaks out, it is likely to be a massive peasant uprising. At that time, the Huai King will not need to be eyed by those local overlords. Just these inconspicuous refugees can change the ownership of Chang'an City. Without Chang'an City as a support, the new emperor is a joke.

Liu Yu immediately recruited the Dongshui Camp to quell the rebellion. On the other hand, he also wanted to stabilize the situation in Chang'an City as soon as possible and suppress the opposition between the Right Prime Minister and the New Emperor.

August 20th. The last day of the great demise of the late emperor is also the day when the body of the late emperor is buried.

The official roads from Chang'an City to the imperial tomb were shrouded in a suppressed mood. All officials accompanied the new emperor and helped the coffin of the emperor to transport it to the imperial tomb. The late emperor's later years of reign had already prepared an underground palace for himself, and everything was magnificent. When the coffin of the emperor entered the underground palace, Su Yan stood at the door and shed a few tears. Liu Yu looked around and did not speak.

During the big day when the previous emperor was buried, Yuan Bolang actually fell ill, and most of the Right Prime Minister's party did not come in person, which annoyed Liu Yu. Now the chaos in Guannan has already begun, and the best way was to personally quell the chaos. But now he could not leave Chang'an City at all, and he had not yet fully controlled the overall situation.

"Master, what are you looking at?" Su Yan saw Liu Yu standing aside in a daze and walked over and said, "This is the second time I have come to this imperial tomb, but I didn't come in to take a look last time. Master, but I still remember a pit I sold to you here."

Liu Yu smiled and headed.

Su Yan also expressed his grief and said, "Why would the master choose here today? We will not be too far away in the future. If there is anything, I will ask you for advice. I am afraid that when I get there, there will be someone with a cow head and a horse face to make things difficult for me."

Before the matter of being born in the world was settled, Su Yan began to make plans for himself after his death.

Liu Yu looked around the surrounding mountains and said, "It is rare that Guanzhong has such a good place to live, but it is not yet time for you and I to choose a site to bury it. Guanzhong is the cornerstone of the court. Do you think of countermeasures and how to deal with those rebel refugees?"

When Su Yan heard this, his face darkened again, saying, "With the master here, I'm lazy in these things. The number of those refugees is not very large. Master... should be fine, right?"

Liu Yu sighed. It seemed that Su Yan still did not realize the seriousness of the problem. In Su Yan's opinion, after becoming emperor, the whole world belonged to him. In a few counties and counties, the imperial army would definitely be able to pacify it. Although the facts are roughly the same, the number of refugees rebelled in the three counties of Guannan is only a few thousand, and their combat effectiveness is low, but it is difficult to suppress it. On the one hand, it cannot be too gentle, otherwise the purpose of pacification cannot be achieved. On the other hand, it cannot be too tough. After all, those hungry people who are desperate, once they are forced into a desperate situation, it will not only intensify the disaster, but also drive local people's confrontation to the court. At that time, the scale of the rebel army will be even more difficult to pacify.

The process of quelling the rebellion is actually the process of appeaseing the local area and properly relieving disasters.

In order not to restrain both ends, Liu Yu must first attack Yuan Bolang's party.

The invasion of the previous emperor also means that the national mourning period in Chang'an City has passed, and the restrictions on wedding and entertainment activities during the national mourning period will be lifted. While Chang'an City is regaining its prosperity and liveliness, the impact of the Guannan rebellion will soon be affected, and Chang'an City may not be prosperous at that time.

Originally the second day, August 21st, was the day when the new emperor sacrificed to heaven and officially ascend the throne. However, because Yuan Bolang, who presided over the national funeral and the new emperor's ascension ceremony, the new emperor also issued an order to postpone the sacrifice to heaven and to conduct it on August 23rd.

Returning to Chang'an City from the imperial tomb, Su Yan accompanied Liu Yu to visit the "sick" court officials. The emperor personally visited the house to visit the sick, which was a great grace. He must not neglect it, including the right prime minister, and even if he dragged his "sick body", he would welcome the emperor.

This visit was different from the last time that Qu Ning was sent to "treat the disease". Su Yan did not bring the imperial physician, but just let Liu Yu, the president of the Imperial Army who did not understand medicine, protect him. He made a clear gesture that he did not suspect that these officials were pretending to be sick. He came to visit him with absolute trust and caring for the court officials. The new emperor seemed to have surrendered and showed kindness to the court officials, but only the ministers visited him knew the suffering.

It was originally an excuse to call him sick but he was relieved to put pressure on the new emperor. Now, the new emperor came to visit him in person. If he was not sick, wouldn’t it be a crime to deceive the emperor? And not everyone has the longevity of Yuan Bolang and the elderly are sick. They were all addicted to alcohol and sex yesterday. Now, facing the arrival of the imperial carriage, they can only lie on the bed one by one, pretending to be half-dead. Even Liu Yu was laughing secretly, and these ministers were all pretending to be sick.

The new emperor did not want to expose their intention to pretend to be sick, and asking about his well-being also reflects the monarch's concern for the court officials. As we walked along the way at noon, there were not many ministers, including more than a dozen. While visiting, Su Yan also brought a message to them, showing the current difficulties of the court. He changed the subject and asked them to participate in the discussion at the Sixth Taiwan Office on the second day, August 21. I hope they could drag their sick bodies to the court affairs.

After the emperor left, these ministers understood the emperor's intention. The emotional visit was false, and the news was true. For the sake of a mere court discussion, the emperor actually came in person, and they couldn't understand why the emperor did this. In fact, the new emperor himself was confused about the matter. He just followed Liu Yu's instructions to visit one by one. Many ministers who pretended to be sick and guilty were worried that the emperor would come in person, but in fact, the emperor did not leave every family and did not visit nearby. Even the ministers from the neighboring gate had just left one by one and did not leave another.

The ministers who were visited naturally lay on the sickbed to pretend to be sick and acted loyally. The ones who were not visited breathed a sigh of relief while speculating on the intention of the new emperor. After the Luan Kai returned to the palace, they also asked someone to go to the right prime minister to check in. Yuan Bolang's meaning was very clear. Those who should be sick continued to be sick. If they still appeared on the sickbed today in the palace tomorrow, it would be clear that they had a ghost.

But on the second day of the court discussion, Yuan Bolang still came in person. However, he was the only one of the right prime ministers. The entire Six-Taiwan yamen was still deserted, and Liu Yu and Su Bi looked calm and did not seem to be angry, as if they were watching the development of the situation. The topic on this day was the personnel of the left prime minister's mansion, which made Yuan Bolang, who was delayed in the court discussion and discussion, very unhappy.

However, because all the fans behind him were sick at home, he knew that he was weak and had no confidence in speaking, so he was sulking alone. The court talks were basically listening to Lan and a person talking nonstop.

After the discussion, Su Yan sighed and said, "It is rare to reset the Left Prime Minister so smoothly. I express my gratitude. However, there are many of the officials submitted by the Left Prime Minister who cannot arrange official positions in the court. I wonder what good suggestions do you have for Yuan Prime Minister?"

Yuan Bolang was furious and thought to himself, could I still help the Lan?

Now most of the ministers of the six ministries are on his side. Although many seem to be in harmony with him, this is just an appearance. He is not afraid that a left minister will compete with him in power.

Yuan Bolang said with an old face black, "Go back to the emperor, the old ministers think that the six ministries have many errands. Instead of selling them to those merchants, it is better to place the ministers submitted by the Zuo Prime Minister first and discuss them in detail later."

Even Su Yan, who was ignorant of the world, heard that Yuan Bolang was not at all good-hearted. Those who wanted to sell to merchants were all idle errands. The list of officials submitted by the left prime minister was listed in the list of important officials below the left prime minister. If they were asked to be some idle errands like sesame and mung beans, wouldn't that mean that the left prime minister had no power?

"The proposal of Yuan Xiangguo is very good, but each company has its own difficulties."

Su Yan suddenly started a long talk with the court officials like a grudge from the boudoir.

"In recent days, many court officials have been sick at home. I was afraid that there was an epidemic in Chang'an, so I visited the mansion in person. I felt distressed when I saw the sickness of the ministers who were facing me day and night. It was a pity, a pity. After the court discussion, I decided to let the imperial physician go to the mansion to treat them, hoping that they would recover soon and serve the court again."

Yuan Bolang couldn't help but glance at Liu Yu when he heard this. He felt something was wrong in his heart. He could also guess that the matter must be related to Liu Yu. In fact, many of the actions of the new emperor were arranged by Liu Yu behind the scenes.

"It is a blessing for the court officials to be polite to the court officials."

Yuan Bolang could only compliment the emperor's wishes. But after he finished speaking, he regretted it. Su Yan's face already had a slightly sinister smile, and that smile made him think of Liu Yu's smile immediately. It was really just like that.
