Wu Yuan was indeed very capable. He eliminated more than a dozen people in Handan in Chang'an, but there were definitely still fish caught. For example, this den in the West Market was destroyed, but no one was caught. We cannot know exactly what court officials they were involved in.

Wu Yuan said: "Your Majesty, I will send more people to keep an eye on the court officials, and I will never give them a chance to escape."

"Shut up!" the emperor scolded: "Do you want to make my court chaotic? Have I asked you to do these things? They are all my loyal ministers, so you are not allowed to follow them at will!"

Wu Yuan knelt down with a pounce, and slapped himself with a backhand, "Your Majesty, I am confused, I am stupid!"

Director Wu has always been able to understand the emperor's "holy will". There are very few things to be scolded like this. It is all because he is eager to make contributions and is too proactive in his performance, and he misunderstood the emperor's intentions.

The emperor did not want to engage in terrorism, and relied on cruel officials and spies to control the court officials. The emperor had always been restrained in the use of Wu Yuan, for fear of letting him become a big shot and torture the court officials and the people.

People like Wu Yuan have very strong abilities and great ambitions. If they are too laissez-faire, they will inevitably expand their power like the factory guards of the Ming Dynasty, causing everyone to be in danger.

The emperor said, "I have a reason for this matter. You just need to keep an eye on the various city gates and pay attention to the court officials who have left the city recently. Do you know? You go down first!"

Wu Yuan left the palace in depression, not knowing what other ways to solve the defection besides keeping a close eye on the court officials. But His Majesty has issued an order, so he can only obey it.

The emperor was not too busy and took his own group of servants to hunt outside the city.

The next day, a sudden undercurrent in the court, and rumors seemed to flow in the air. Everyone talked about it, saying that some were going to defect, some said they fled to Guandong, some said they fled to Shu, and some even said that the traitors were going to cross the northern border counties and defected to the Huns.

The emperor came back from outside the city and just sat down to take a breath when an old minister, Taicang Order Li Shu, came to pay a visit.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty. Please punish me."

"What's your fault?" The emperor yawned. He hunted for two days, and drove an eagle every day, and was a little sleepy.

Li Shu presented a silk book and said, "Someone once sent this book to my house at night, but I did not report it to Your Majesty in time, so... I am guilty."

The emperor took it over and saw that it was a letter written to him by the old Gengshi minister of Handan, Li Shu's old colleague. The content of the letter was nothing more than praising Emperor Jianwu's wisdom and advising him to "get out of the dark and become clear" and turn to the past as soon as possible.

The emperor said, "Does Li Qing want to go?"

"I want to go to Handan," Li Shu said astonishingly, "but I don't want to go secretly. I am willing to hold a spear and follow His Majesty's chariot and enter Handan City!"

The emperor smiled, "Your loyalty, I have understood, please step back!"

Not long after Li Shu left, someone suddenly came to report that Huya General Liu Shun hanged himself at home.

Liu Shun was Liu Xiu's clan brother. After Emperor Gengshi surrendered, he also surrendered.

"Just this psychological quality, I still want to defect?" The emperor sighed: "I will break it by myself, and I will be considered a person who knows the truth. I will not pursue it. Let's have a grand funeral!"

Liu Shun's suicide was so sudden that the court officials were a little scared, but the real scare was still behind.

Liu Xiu's nephew, the former Gengshi Chao Dingtao King Liu Zhi, disappeared, and together with his two sons, he disappeared, he defected without a doubt.

But Liu Zhi didn't escape far and was arrested by the Han Intelligence Bureau. It seemed that the father and son were inevitably killed.

It turned out that Liu Zhi took advantage of the emperor's hunting and did not return, and took out Chang'an with his two sons. Wu Yuan arranged a lot of manpower at the city gate. When he saw Liu Zhi and his son leaving the city one after another, he immediately went to chase him back.

After a few days, one of the old ministers in Gengshi committed suicide, the other defected, and the other confessed to the emperor that the court officials' defection case was solved magically without much effort.

Little Banden was extremely surprised and chased the emperor and asked, "Your Majesty, what did you do? Why did all these people jump out by themselves?"

The emperor said, "I knew someone was going to defect, but I didn't do anything. I just let some noises go out to those amiable men to show that I knew about this. Those people were frightened birds, and when they heard these rumors, they were in chaos... and they became what they are now."

"It's that simple? Without stalking or interrogating, the defector jumped out by himself. This is really evil." Little Banden grabbed his hair and didn't understand what those people thought.

The emperor smiled and said, "It's that simple."

Wu Gai said: "It is simple, but it is not simple. It is difficult to grasp the extent to which the wind is released. We cannot explain it explicitly, and we must let everyone know that Your Majesty knows this."

"It's too complicated. I can't understand it even if you say it. Alas, my head is not a head at all, it's just a big melon!" Little Banden felt a little inferior.

In fact, this is not too great. The emperor has so many officials and servants, all from powerful families in the court. He follows the emperor every day and stares at the emperor's words and deeds. As long as the emperor expresses his or her a little, someone will naturally analyze, guess and pass the news. Those who have ghosts in their hearts will naturally be frightened and anxious when they hear it.

Defection is a serious crime to exterminate the clan. No one dares to take risks with the lives of the entire clan. Therefore, no matter whether the emperor knows or how much they know, they will definitely take action after receiving the news in order to save themselves. Liu Shun chose to commit suicide to protect his family, while Liu Zhi chose to start early and run away directly.

This vigorous defection case began suddenly and ended simply. The court officials were not mentally prepared. The matter was over and the court quickly returned to peace.

At this time, news came from Guandong that Liu Yong did not resist Cen Peng's attack and died. His son died together. The once powerful Sui Yang Han was destroyed. Liu Xiu finally destroyed a strong opponent and opened up the situation in Guandong.

But he was still surrounded by powerful enemies. King Zhang Bu of Qi, King Dong Xian of Haixi, and King Peng Chong of Jianshi Han Foxun Hou were all beside him. There were Deng Feng, Qin Feng and others farther away. Once he pacified all these people, he would definitely be rushing his troops westward to compete with Liu Yu of Chang'an.

At this time, the focus of Jianshi Han was in Hanzhong. Ma Yuan had gathered elite soldiers and powerful generals under Hanzhong, sharpening his sword and preparing to go south to Shu.

Liu Yu was not idle either. His eyes were aimed at the East, the big city he had always coveted but had not yet obtained - Luoyang.
