The disappearance of Liu Yu's family caused many chain reactions. First of all, the court had to deal with the problem of Liu Yu's faction between Sui Yi and Li Mi's family, and the court had to come up with a solution to it.

Originally, Su Bi planned to use force to intimidate Liu Yu, and searched the Sui and Li families, and put pressure on Liu Yu who was hiding in the dark. However, because the matter was too involved and the subsequent emergency in Tongguan, the court could only temporarily endure it.

The helmsman of the Sui family are not the elders of the Sui family, but Sui Yu and Sui Yi among the younger generations. This merchant family originally had two officials in the court, and Sui Yi was even the first rank. Although Yu's official position was low, her power was not shallow, and her status in the court was even higher than that of the six ministers of the ministers. Once the court attacked the Sui family, the Trade Department would definitely bring chaos, and the negative effects caused later were unpredictable, and the merchants would definitely lose trust in the court.

The court did not dare to take the risk of attacking the Sui family.

The power held by the Li family was much lower, but Li Mi's father inherited the Changping Hou. After his merits, the court did not dare to move casually.

This made Chang'an City calm as usual after Liu Yu's family disappeared. The court could only search openly and secretly, trying to dig Liu Yu out of the cracks of the stone.

At the same time, in the direction of Tongguan, 70,000 soldiers from Huaji'an had entered Guanzhong and joined Huo Bing's troops. This was the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. There was more than half a month left in the new year, and this new year in Chang'an City was destined to be uneasy.

The "rebels" came all the way to Chang'an City and stationed more than 200 miles away from Chang'an City. It was very similar to Huo Bing's troops outside Chang'an City before. They did not advance or retreat, and did not report to the court, and did not act abnormally. The court was discussing whether to send envoys to "comfort the army". The "rebels" camp was a little uneasy for several consecutive days.

Some people say that civil strife occurred in the "rebels". Deputy General He Mao and others usurped power and were suppressed by Hua Ji'an. Some people say that Hua Ji'an was assassinated and killed, and more than a dozen martial arts masters assassins killed Hua Ji'an, which was amazing and as if they had seen it with their own eyes. This news was not leaked from the court, but from the people. Since Chang'an City was half-closed because Hua Ji'an led troops into Guanzhong, it has been tight on the outside and loose on the inside. The people in the city started chatting when they had nothing to do, and then many things about the "rebels" army spread.

The confrontation between the court and the military spread among the people. It was unexpected to the court. They did not expect that the people would know at the first time that the court and the military had completely broken up. Many things circulating among the people were planned by the court, such as the turmoil in the Huaji'an army, or the assassin's assassin's assassination. The court was a little panicked and realized that the military was doing the detailed work within Chang'an City, and this time it was also a public opinion war between the military and the court before the official war began.

The military occupied the absolute initiative at the beginning of this public opinion war and won the support of ordinary people. The reason why ordinary people hate the court was mainly because of the hearts of hatred officials. These bigwigs in the Chang'an court were fine on weekdays and had complaints among the people. Although the 70,000 Shunchao army in Hua Ji'an was designated as "rebels" by the court, they were the soldiers of the people of Guanzhong. Of course, they stood on the side of the soldiers. They also hoped that their men would make achievements and glorify their ancestors after this war. It would be good to destroy Shunchao and become a general.

The court felt the pressure from the people.

Originally, when encountering rumors among the people, the best way to suppress them is martial law, so that the people cannot interact with each other, and without discussion, rumors will not spread. But this is a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Now, Su Bi, the number one adviser around the new emperor Su Yan, has designated a series of policies in order to restore the image of the court. These policies are summarized as showing weakness to the military and the people.

First of all, when rumors about the military and the court were flying all over Chang'an City about the upcoming war, the court surprisingly did not impose martial law throughout the city, but allowed the people to come and go, and even the curfew that lasted for several days was lifted. This made the people feel that the court was not guarding against Chang'an City itself, and it won favor among the people.

The second article is to distribute items to keep warm, food, clothing, and some refugees outside the city who had to go to the city to take refuge due to heavy snow. The court opened a porridge shop and a supply point for two meals a day. The clothes and bedding for keeping warm were also distributed in place as soon as possible. The court did this better than ever before.

Article 3: The court posted a list of articles to praise the soldiers who returned to Guanzhong, and made it clear that these were not rebels from the Dashun Dynasty, but meritorious soldiers who returned victoriously. The court also praised many generals who led their troops to pacify the Turks this time, and said that they would immediately reward them according to their merits. However, the court also pointed out that it was not that they did not want to award these meritorious generals, but that these meritorious generals believed some rumors and had prejudice against the court and did not return to Chang'an City to receive rewards. The court also prepared a "condolence team" composed of officials to work hard, but was rejected by the military. The court made a big comeback and go to prove to the people that we treat the military as brothers, but they do not appreciate it.

The imperial court's series of actions have indeed won back the support of a large number of people. The people are increasingly confused about whether the Shunchao army is preparing to rebel or is preparing to come back to receive rewards. If they want to rebel, is it because they are instigated by some people, or because of the court's suspicion and neglect?

At this time, the Dashun Dynasty court not only regained its reputation among the people, but also showed through some military actions that the court had prepared to start a war. Not only did it transfer more than 10,000 troops from the Nanchang'an Daying and Dongshui Camp back to the city, but it also carried out "conscription" among the people. In the propaganda of the people, the court's attitude was: If people do not offend me, I will not offend others, and if people do not offend me, I will return it. The original rebellion was said by the court to be a war between the two countries.

If it is a rebellion, the nature is different. The side with a rebel is also a rebelled side. The focus of the battle is to seize the core power and fight for the power of the world. The result of this situation is that people fight against others and the people are indifferent. In general, people are watching the fun and are not concerned about themselves. But if it is a war between two countries, it is invasion and being invaded. Once it rises to the point of the rise and fall of the country, it is a responsibility for every man.

The court thought that after they carried out a series of public opinion wars, the people would join the army and join the war to guard Chang'an City, which was a world-class war. However, the fact is that no one registered for several conscription sites opened by the court in Chang'an City for a few days. Even the Confucian scholars who once shouted that they wanted to serve the country were not seen.
