The court's desire to gather power was very obvious, and the so-called new policy did not inject fresh blood into the social economy. The taxes of farmers seemed to be reduced, but in fact they were just a variety of collections that did not benefit the people.

Liu Yu always felt that something would happen, but this was the first big thing Su Yan did after becoming the emperor. He could just let it go.

At the same time, the second batch of soldiers and generals of the border army were already retreating towards Guanzhong. Most of these soldiers and generals were from Guanzhong, mostly from the New Army and the garrison troops around Chang'an City. After the war, it was about to celebrate the New Year again, so they were all necessary to withdraw to Guanzhong. However, the people in the court did not think this was an ordinary withdrawal. They believed that Hua Ji'an was "forcing the palace".

As the saying goes, auspicious snow indicates a good harvest, but this year there is a lot of snow in Chang'an City. The city people are most concerned about the cleaning of snow. In the streets and alleys, the government also posted notices to hire people to clean the snow in the city. It seems that the government is very concerned about the people, but the cleaning organized by the government is only in a few streets with developed commercial business in the city. As for several slums in Chang'an City, they don't care if they are buried by heavy snow. Every household still has to clean the snow in front of their own.

When Liu Yu returned to Chang'an City, he had more time. Before he went out for a few days, he thought of going to a crowded place to go for a walk. On the tenth day of the lunar month, Sui Yi and Li Mi came. One of them was the prefect of Jingzhao and the other was the president of the Defense Department. They were all powerful. However, this time they returned to the court. Although their official positions were not demoted, they were not promoted. More importantly, they were both of them with ranks and no official positions. Like Liu Yu, they became unemployed and became alternate officials.

As soon as the person was free, Sui Yi pulled Li Mi to find Liu Yu and told him about this. In fact, they were just finding an excuse to go out for a walk together. They were so bored at home on weekdays.

"...Chang'an City is very lively now, with Hu merchants everywhere, and there are all kinds of fancy things. There are also some people from the Western Regions who are very strange in their outfits. I heard that they are still asking for a man named Su Wu. Maybe Su Wu owed these people money, so they ran far away to Chang'an City to collect debts..."

After Sui Yi came to the vanguard General's Mansion, he kept talking, from the snow scene in Chang'an City to eating, drinking and having fun. Liu Yu basically couldn't listen to what he said, but Liu Yu left a little snack on the people in the Western Regions.

The Loulan people sent envoys to Chang'an City, and Han Sheng mentioned this matter earlier.

The court now has no intention of paying attention to them. After all, the Turkish envoys and courts did not entertain, let alone the small countries in the Western Regions. But the Loulan people did not give up. This time they sent the national commander Chetu. This woman brought the envoys to Chang'an City thousands of miles away to make Shunchao fulfill his promise to form an alliance with Loulan. Who knew that when she arrived in Chang'an City, she realized that there was no Shunchao court named Su Wu at all. The Loulan Kingdom paid the price of the southern border for the Shunchao army. He also recruited a large amount of food and civilians with the army. At this time, they wanted to pacify Nan Loulan. Only then did they know that they were cheated by Shunchao people. Chetuo seemed to be crazy looking for Su Wu's whereabouts in Chang'an City.

It's useless to search. Even with Jitu's cleverness, I would never have expected that the Shun Dynasty envoy who was easily kidnapped back to China by her would be the Marshal of the Shun Dynasty, Liu Wenyan, the Marquis of the Shun Dynasty Army. The vanguard General's mansion was closely guarded, so it would be difficult for her to get close to her, let alone find someone.

Seeing Sui Yi's impatient appearance, Liu Yu said, "If you don't have an official position, have a good rest. If you get busy in the future, you want to stroll around Chang'an City so comfortably, but you have no time."

Sui Yi smiled and said, "Isn't this just asking you to go out for a walk together."

"Where to visit?" Liu Yu held the storytelling book and glanced at Sui Yi, "Xiaohualou? Zangyunfang?"

"This place is so unstyled. It's not suitable for us to go to the noble status now. In this way... Let's go directly to the Jiaofang and choose a few girls with good looks to dance, sing songs, and have a few more drinks. How interesting do you think?"

Sui Yi likes to eat, drink and have many ideas. He wants to preach, even the nobles of the Jiaofang cannot go. If there is a singing and dancing performance in the mansion, he should send a letter to invite him according to the rules, and the people from the Jiaofang will arrange it. If the performances in Chang'an City are peak season, even the nobles of the officials will have to wait in line.

Thinking of Jiaofang, Liu Yu remembered Sima Xuan'er. After Liu Yu returned to Chang'an City, he just went out to meet Li Zhe'er, and then went back. He didn't have time to see this dancer who was "maintained" by him.

"Do you think the people from the Jiaofang will entertain you?" Liu Yu asked, "You are no longer the prefect of Jingzhao now, and the people from the Jiaofang don't have to give you face."

"They dare! I'm not bragging, it's easy to do things if I have money. We went there this time to prepare the money. You said that with your reputation as Marquis of Wuyi and the two of us officials of the court, he would not be able to find the best girl for us, so he would not want to live a comfortable life in the future!" Sui Yi said, looking into the inner hall, and there was no female relative in the mansion. "Isn't there any inconvenience in Brother Liu's platform?"

"Convenient is convenient, but there is something that must be agreed in advance."

Sui Yi asked urgently: "What's the matter?"

"Must come back before it gets dark!"

Sui Yi said with a bad look on his face as he heard this: "That's so boring, why don't you go back, Brother Li and I stay and continue to have fun."

Liu Yu sighed helplessly. He knew that Sui Yi, the lady of the Lan family, had already been preparing to get married, but because of the delay in this war, Sui Yi returned to Chang'an City, and the original marriage was about to be implemented. Sui Yi wanted to go out before getting married and go crazy. This trip must be followed by women.

Liu Yu brought not many guards when he came back this time, and there were few snowmen on the street, so they were very flamboyant when they went out. Liu Yu asked the guards to dress up, which was far away, so that the three of them could dress up as ordinary scholars, and brought one or two followers to Chang'an City to have a happy and romantic life.

This time, Liu Yu's main purpose was to relax.

After fighting abroad for a long time, he still had to be low-key and not show his eyes when he came back. His life was quite boring. Thinking about the leisurely days of the Qi Tower in Chang'an City were so relaxed.

He had several other purposes when he came out this time, which was to meet some acquaintances, in the theater in Jinchangfang, south of the city, and his secret cell, where several important criminals were imprisoned, mainly from the faction of the vassal kings. Among them were Prince Min, the only daughter of the Huai king, Su Min, and the mother and daughter of Zhao Yingxi and Zhao Su were not there. It is said that the Prince of Hejian, who was shot by Liu Yu, had recovered, and the Prince of Hejian was also under house arrest in the mansion of Chang'an City, and he rarely came out.

The three of them were walking and the streets were very lively. After the snow, the children in Chang'an City all ran out, skiing and playing snowball fights. It was very lively, while adults usually sweep the snow. In winter, the residents of Chang'an City were usually busy for a year. When the winter calmed down, it was the day when the family reunion did not have to go to work. At this time, Chang'an City was also full of the warm smell of family.

"Brother Liu, have you heard of something?" Li Mi suddenly asked Liu Yu for no reason.

"What's the matter?"

"Do you still remember that Liu Meier? I heard that she is still alive and is still performing in Xiaohua Building."

Liu Meier is a dancer who looks very much like Liu Liniang. On the day of the performance of Xiaohualou, the three of them were also here. At that time, Su Yan and the Uighur envoy Prince Dadu secretly discussed joint troops in Xiaohualou. That night, Liu Meier followed Dadu back to the National Inn and then an assassination occurred, and Liu Meier disappeared. The case became a unsolved case at that time. In the past six months, Liu Meier actually returned safely?

"Have the government asked?"

"Yes, yes, but there was no result, so I let her go. After that, she seemed to be taken as a concubine by a senior official in the court, but she was quickly sent back. Now there are not many people going to watch the performance. I can spend a few dollars with her to spend **."

The phoenix with hair fallen hair is not as good as a chicken. At that time, the officials and nobles in Chang'an City flocked to Liu Meier because Liu Meier looked like Liu Liniang. People were reluctant to see Liu Liniang and saw her enjoying her work. Now she is thinner than yellow flowers, so she doesn't care if she gets angry.

Liu Yu was still a little twisted when he heard this story. The parties involved in the assassination, Prince Dadu and Liu Meier, were not dead that day, but the assassin was missing. Liu Meier escaped from the disaster and was actually kept by the nobles. This nobleman seemed to be the culprit of the assassination.

"If you have time, go and have a look." Liu Yu said.

Sui Yi laughed and said, "Brother Liu is not going to look for her, but I still want to look for her? Those women are not aware of their appearance and don't give us face that day. Now they are ending up like this? Brother Liu is good, why not do this? I'll ask someone to go to Xiaohualou and call her to the Jiaofang and dance a dance to relieve us. How are you?"

Liu Yu nodded. Anyway, he was going to the tutoring house, so it would be okay to call Liu Meier away. But Liu Yu was a little alert to this woman, not to have any collusion with Liu Liniang. Thinking of Liu Liniang, Liu Yu suddenly felt that the woman who often appeared in front of him had not seen her for a long time.

How well did she live?

Liu Yu did not deny that he was very promiscuous. Now he was a little concerned about Liu Liniang, which made him feel a little helpless. But who said that Liu Liniang is so wild and difficult to tame?

When we arrived at the Jiaofang, the guest at the door did not dare to stop him. This was not the first time that the three brothers had come here, and those with strong eyes did not dare to offend the bare hands in the court now.

Liu Yu and the other two were able to enter easily. Originally, Zhike was going to call the manager to come out, but Liu Yu didn't. Hearing the melodious sound of silk and bamboo inside, some little dancers even lay on the window to peek, obviously rehearsing a wonderful dance.

Liu Yu really wanted to go in and see what kind of program was being rehearsed.

"Go away, go away." Sui Yi impatiently rewarded the Zhike with two taels of silver and drove the Zhike away. The three of them arrived at the door together. The sound of silk and bamboo inside was even more pleasant. He saw a bunch of flowers in the middle of the dance hall, and more than a dozen dancers were performing in circles in gorgeous clothes. It seemed that the dance had reached the top part.

Liu Yu did not find Sima Xuan'er's figure from the dancer.
