The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 668 Thank you for your support along the way

In the fourth year of Chuping, there was a severe drought in Guanzhong, and swarms of migratory locusts covered the sky and the sun, eroding the crops in the fields of the people.

Countless people wailed for it, and there were many weeping people.

In this world where people are worse than dogs, how can we live without food!

At the critical moment, instead of offering relief, the Guanzhong family took advantage of this opportunity to annex the people's land at an extremely low price, causing hundreds of thousands of people to be displaced.

During this period, a large number of refugees flocked to Chang'an, and many people occupied the hills and became bandits, plundering the neighbors.

For a while, Guanzhong was in turmoil.

On the way of exile, someone stood on a high stone and shouted loudly to the weary people.

"The troubles of my generation were all because of the anger of the heavens. The reason is that there are traitors and sycophants who rebelled against the country! At that time, the Shichang servants made troubles, and there were also severe droughts for years, which caused the fields to fail. .”

"Right now, the traitor minister Lu Bu is very happy to bully the young prince. The gods sent down divine punishment, and made the migratory locusts act as God's envoys to impose punishment on us. Everything is Lu Bu's fault!"

Following the person's indignant statement, more and more refugees gathered around.

During the period, someone deliberately echoed in the crowd and aroused hatred: "That's right, why should we accept punishment for Lu Bu's mistakes?"

"We're gnawing on the bark here, and they might still be eating delicacies from mountains and seas. How can we care about our lives?"

"Both left and right are dead, it is better to simply reverse!"

"Inverted!"

"Inverted!"

The people were outraged.

Scenes similar to this one are constantly being staged in various parts of Guanzhong.

"Hahaha……"

Upon learning of this, there was a smug laugh from a certain courtyard in Chang'an City, and the careful planning for so long was not in vain.

Chang'an City, Weiyang Palace.

Liu Xie stretched out his hand and yawned in the position of the emperor. Ever since Grand Tutor Ma Rixun was transferred to Xiliang and Ding Gong was replaced as the new Grand Tutor, Liu Xie's life has been extremely nourishing.

No need to read or memorize those hard-to-chew ancient books, just take the little eunuchs to fight cocks and walk the dogs every day, and do what you want to do as you like, which can be regarded as enjoying the fun that childhood should have.

Before dawn this morning, Grand Tutor Ding Gong came to the palace to pay his respects, saying that it was time to go to the court to discuss matters.

Liu Xie reluctantly got up from the bed, his eyes were dim with sleepiness, in the past he would spend three poles in the sun before getting up.

He was really not used to getting up so early all of a sudden, counting his fingers, and before he knew it, he hadn't gone to court early for more than half a month.

Well, it's time to meet the ministers.

Otherwise, wouldn't I have become a faint king?

Thinking of this, Liu Xie's consciousness instantly sobered up a lot.He ordered the court lady to put on the emperor's clothes for him, washed his face with warm water, then walked out of the palace, sat on the imperial court, and headed for Weiyang Palace.

"Your Majesty, there is a severe drought in Guanzhong, and the people have no crops. Many people are still suffering from the famine after selling their land and properties. There are countless refugees. Please make a decision."

Seeing the Son of Heaven dozing off in his seat, the newly appointed Sikong Liu Pu came out, lowered the wat board in his hand, and spoke respectfully.

According to seniority, he is still Liu Xie's uncle.

Before that, Liu Pu basically served as the sheriff of other places, and was not transferred back to Chang'an until the end of last year.

There was a severe drought in Guanzhong this year, and the original Sikong was dismissed, so Liu Pu just happened to be promoted to the position of Sangong.

As the saying goes, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and the Sangong is actually not so easy to be.

Among the three lords, Taiwei is in charge of 'heaven', Sikong is in charge of 'earth', and Situ is in charge of 'people'.

Basically, whenever there are natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, locust plagues, etc., Sikong, who is in charge of "land", will inevitably be dismissed from office.

"There are so many disaster victims, do you have a good plan?" Liu Xie yawned and casually asked the officials below.

He has never been involved in the major affairs of the court, and he has been busy with sneaking and playing recently. He has never touched the strategies for famine control that were presented, let alone have any constructive ideas.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, three years of abundance, three years of deficit, six years of a small disaster, and 12 years of a major disaster, the sky is like this in the time of Yao and Shun. It is the responsibility of the ministers to store food in good years and provide relief to victims in bad years."

Sikong Liu Pu replied in a respectful voice. He quietly glanced at the emperor's face, and seeing that the emperor's expression was normal, he said again: "The people who fled are all the people of the big man. The court can't ignore death. So I suggest that you take out the rice stored in Taicang to make porridge. Give alms to the hungry."

The so-called Taicang, that is, the big warehouse where the capital stores grain, has countless grains in it. Although it cannot completely suppress the famine, it can at least allow many victims to survive for a period of time.

"There are so many refugees, and the grains stored in Taicang alone may not be enough." Some of the ministers disagreed.

"Then Zhao Zhonglang has other good strategies?" Liu Xie looked over, and it was Zuo Zhonglang Zhao Qian.

"This……"

Facing the emperor's question, Zhao Qian was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Since we can't come up with a better solution, let's do what Sikong says first."

Liu Xie was also decisive at this time. After all, human life is at stake. Even if it treats the symptoms but not the root cause, it is better than watching the people die.

"Your Majesty, the minister also has something to announce." Standing among the ministers, Shang Shulang Zhang Yuan came out and bowed to speak.

Liu Xie nodded slightly, indicating that he could continue talking.

Zhang Yuan paused, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, there was a fast horse coming to Chang'an yesterday, and it was said that Da Sima had already left Chenliu, and he would return to the court soon."

Lu Bu is coming back!
As soon as these words came out, it was as if a huge stone was thrown into the lake, causing a huge splash.

The expressions of all the officials in the court were different, and the emperor was stunned for a long time before he waved his hand and said: "I see."

The court meeting dispersed, and all the officials were busy with their own work.

When Liu Xie returned to the side hall, there was no joy on his face, and he sat motionless in his seat, unhappy.

"Your Majesty, the imperial censor, Xi Ji, is begging to see you." Xiao Huangmen Han Xuan reported into the hall with a cautious tone, because he could feel that the emperor was in an extremely oppressive atmosphere at the moment.

"Let him in." Liu Xie waved.

Xi Xi can be regarded as the half-father-in-law of the emperor, and his daughter Xi Yu was drafted into the palace, and she was deeply loved by Liu Xie, and she was soon made a nobleman.As a father, Xi Ji was also honored because of this, and he was promoted from a servant to a royal doctor.

Xi Xi entered the hall, and after saluting to the emperor, seeing the emperor's expression was in a trance, he cupped his hands and asked, "Your Majesty is unhappy, but it has something to do with Da Sima's return to court?"

"How do you know?" Liu Xie looked surprised.

"I'm just guessing. I don't know what your majesty is worried about, maybe I can share your worries." Xi Xi said respectfully, with a little deceit, he got the desired result.

Ugh!
Liu Xie sighed, with a mixture of sadness and joy on his immature face, and finally a touch of bitterness gradually emerged: "When Da Sima was away, I had the final say on everything in Chang'an City. Now that he is back, what I said is still true. Is anyone listening?"

　660 six chapters, three sixes, a number full of auspiciousness, it is really not easy to persist until now.

　　Both order 405,

　　Thank you for your hard work, and thank you all for your perseverance!
