    It was already late at night, and the operation to exterminate Buddhas that started at midnight had lasted for two hours, and there was still more than an hour before dawn.  Before dawn, chaos broke out in Chang'an City. First, there was an explosion at Shangbei Temple under the Nanshan Mountain of Jinchangfang, and then there were fires rising everywhere in the city.  Liu Yu looked at the place where the fire was rising in the distance and guessed the source of the fire. Needless to say, it should be related to the remnants of the Three Puritans in the city.  The remnants of the Three Puritans chose to create chaos in Chang'an City on such a night. They were obviously at the end of their efforts. Liu Yu could even feel that this was the last stand of the Three Puritans in Chang'an City.  Because the city is under martial law, even if a fire breaks out, it will not cause a particularly big chaos. All the city's yamen officers and defense yamen soldiers are on standby. Even if there is an explosion or fire, the Fire Dragon Team will rush to the scene as soon as possible.  When going to the fire scene, organizing fire fighting will also evacuate the people When Liu Yu thought of this, he immediately thought that the key to the problem was "evacuating the people."  Liu Yu thought about it further and found that most of the starting locations of these fires were in the inner city. That is to say, if you find the temple where the fire broke out and compare it with the temples that were previously vacant after being searched, if those "vacant"  There was also a fire in the temple, which means that people from the Three Puritans wanted to use the imperial court to evacuate the surrounding people and escape among the crowd.  If not, then it is the people of the Three Purities Sect who want to use the fire to create large-scale chaos and plot to force the palace.  Liu Yu was a little worried. If it was the former, it would be much easier to handle. All he had to do was strictly check the evacuation points and prevent people from taking advantage of the loopholes and mixing in the crowd.  But if it was the latter, he was not well prepared.  And he was not clear about the Three Puritans' plan to force the emperor to marry him.  Therefore, strategically, we will be in a passive position.  Liu Yu thought again.  Maybe it's not as serious as "being beaten passively", it's just a matter of showing off one's tactics, because at this time he is in full control of the situation, and the troops at all levels are ready to take orders from him.  Liu Yu and his entourage rode their horses quickly through the inner gate and entered the inner city. Along the way, the Jingzhao Prefecture Yamen under martial law, soldiers from the Liufang Si Yamen, or soldiers from the New Army.  It will accurately indicate the exact location of the New Army units currently responsible for searching various temples in the city.  What Liu Yu was looking for was also Huo Bing. Huo Bing left Jinchangfang with his front legs, and Liu Yu followed suit. But after arriving in the inner city, Liu Yu discovered that Huo Bing, the vanguard, had already rushed to the city where the fire broke out to check the situation.  .  "Which temple is on fire now?" Liu Yu asked the New Army general responsible for setting up checkpoints on the street.  The general replied: "Several temples in Wen'anfang have just caught fire." Liu Yu looked at the east side of Wen'anfang, which was also very close to the part responsible for Jingzhao Mansion. Liu Yu asked about the location of Huo Bing again, and then he knew  Huo Bing went in the opposite direction.  Apparently he was agitated by the fires all over the city and was running around.  Once you lose your target, you will suffer.  He will also fly around like a headless fly, mainly because Huo Bing lacks the observation ability to see the overall situation. When Huo Bing does things, he can only exert his greatest effectiveness by taking orders from others.  "Inform General Huo and ask him to go to Wen'anfang. Don't hesitate for a moment." Liu Yu ignored the explosion at Shangbei Temple under the south mountain of Jinchangfang in the outer city and some resistance there, but went straight into the inner city towards Wen'anfang.  As he left, Liu Liniang followed behind.  Liu Liniang thought for a while, this should be Liu Yu's clue. Maybe Liu Yu felt that Su Zhe was in a temple in Wen'anfang.  Liu Yu indeed thought so. He came over in such a hurry because he had a good idea of ??Su Zhe's psychology. Since he was going to be in a dark place like Chang'an City, he had to maximize the darkness under the lights.  Wen'anfang is not far from the Imperial City. The closest place is only separated by a few streets. If Su Zhe has been hiding in a place like this and working as a monk in a temple, no one would be able to guess it.  In Liu Yu's view, although Su Zhe was smart in doing this, his cleverness was misunderstood. If Su Zhe had not shown up in Lang County to show that he was not in Chang'an City at all, making the court think that he was somewhere in Guanzhong, but it happened to be so.  Liu Yu noticed something wrong with his hat and suspected that he might be a monk hiding in Chang'an City.  Before this operation, Liu Yu was only 70% or 80% confident in his guess, but now that the city is in chaos, he is almost certain that his guess is correct.  Liu Yu felt that he was so close to Su Zhe. This should be the last time he felt uneasy. As long as Su Zhe was removed, Liu Yu could not think of any reason to threaten the stability of Qier's throne.  Liu Yu excitedly approached Wen'anfang, but when he arrived at Wen'anfang and saw the fire everywhere and the people running in all directions on the street, he felt that he was oversimplifying things.  The method used by Su Zhe to create chaos was not just as simple as finding a few people to light a fire. The fire was much bigger than Liu Yu imagined. At least in Wen'anfang, half of the people were already in trouble.The area has been surrounded by fire, and the fire has gradually increased in intensity, almost engulfing the entire Wen'anfang.  In such a situation, finding Su Zhe among them is like looking for a needle in a haystack.  However, Liu Yu still had a sneer on his face, because after all, Wen'anfang was just an area in the west city of the inner city. Even if Su Zhe got through among the fleeing people, he would not be able to escape from the inner city.  The entire city of Chang'an is now like three nets, a big net within a small net. Wen'anfang is just the smallest net. The strength of this net makes it difficult for those who are in it to fly.  Liu Yu looked at the fire all over the sky and sighed in his heart.  If it was just an ordinary rebellion case, like the princes who seized military power and rebelled, there would not be such a huge scene today, mainly because there were so many people involved in the rebellion this time, and they were spread across all walks of life in Chang'an City.  Even an ordinary person may be a loyal believer of the Three Puritans.  Under the influence of the leader Su Zhe, these people will inspire a ferocity that they don't usually have, even if it is to attack their neighbors, or even their parents, wives and children.  This fire was definitely not caused by a small group of people. There should be a large number of people involved.  Sure enough, after Liu Yu just arrived at Wen'anfang, he received a report from the New Army general in charge of the sketch search, saying that many people rushed directly into the fire and were burned to death, going a little crazy and committing suicide.  Liu Yu sighed, thinking that those who rushed into the fire and committed suicide must have a lot to do with the arsonists. Many people should be the instigators of the fire.  Under Su Zhe's instigation, they created this fire and burned themselves to death in search of the so-called "Elysian World." Although Liu Yu was tolerant in his heart, he did not investigate whether this "Elysian World" existed.  , or they are reincarnations, but he knows that these devout believers are coming to an end in this life.  Although the fire broke out and the city of Chang'an seemed a bit chaotic, the chaos was also interpreted by Liu Yu from another perspective.  This incident of arson by the Three Puritans will make the ordinary people in Chang'an City more united, let them feel the "anti-humanity" behavior of the Three Purities, and will support the court's decision even more and stand on the same front as the court.  And many fringe believers of the Three Puritans who are greedy for life and afraid of death, when they discover that the so-called pursuit of bliss requires sacrificing their lives, under the influence of their fear of death, they will break away from the shackles of the Three Puritans' teachings and step out of the shadows.  .  It can be said that this fire did Liu Yu a favor in disguise, saving a lot of publicity and reasoning. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbmbgs out out of the city, and the yamen and soldiers of the Sixth Defense Department and New Army soldiers in the city also appeared to be well-trained in putting out the fire. This is mainly related to the supervision of their superiors on weekdays.  Li Mi paid great attention to practice in running the army, and it was Li Mi's skill to select and appoint talents. He also established a complete reward and punishment system in the Sixth Defense Department. These soldiers of the Sixth Defense Department, who are usually like officials, may not be able to fight on the battlefield.  , but still showed great ability in handling emergencies such as fire fighting.  This is also related to the quarterly assessment in the Sixth Defense Department. Those who fail the assessment will lose their jobs. This is no joke for soldiers.  The yamen of Jingzhao Prefecture were encouraged by Sui Yi and Wang Hu, two Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture who "acted wildly", and they have long been trained to be good at it.  In addition, this is Chang'an City originally, and many people are in Chang'an City, fighting fires in their own backyards, and they work even harder.  Ever since, the originally chaotic scene when the fire broke out, after the government offices and troops at all levels of the imperial court arrived at the scene of the fire, there was an unprecedented unity to put out the fire.  Although Liu Yu didn't catch Su Zhe immediately, he still had a comforting smile on his face. This at least proved that the people of Chang'an City were simple, and there were such a group of people in Dashun Dynasty who loved their homeland.  Only if everyone is united and the government recuperates after the war, will it be effective in a short time.  Liu Yu did not go to the front line to fight the fire in person. He chose to retreat to the second line. In terms of directing the fire fighting, Huo Bing was first and then Wang Hu. He felt that he should not be needed to provide "on-the-spot guidance". In fact, Liu Yu was also afraid  Set yourself on fire.  Liu Yu had been waiting for news about other more chaotic things that had recently happened in the city, but until dawn, the troubles caused by the Sanqing Sect came to an abrupt end, and there was no news.  Liu Yu thought to himself, could it be that Su Zhe had already escaped from the city and did not need to create more chaos to escape?  But Liu Yu immediately began to use his own style to guess where Su Zhe might be now. Liu Yu looked at the crowd putting out the fire and kept thinking that Su Zhe might be among them. After the fire subsided, Su Zhe was still there.  A monk who would have the audacity to return to the temple and continue pretending to be a monk.  The reason why Liu Yu thinks this way is because he feels that he would definitely do this if he were Su Zhe.  The fire was quickly brought under control with the joint efforts of the officers, soldiers and people of Chang'an City. Even so, many people were still buried in the sea of ??flames.??And many more people lost their homes and loved ones.  Liu Yu did not wait any longer. He had already sent someone to inform Han Sheng and asked Han Sheng to publish a list announcing the court's relief plan for the fire.  For people who lost their families and houses in the fire, the imperial court would provide money and food from the Ministry of Household Affairs to provide relief to the victims and help them rebuild their homes.  Liu Yu wanted to use such a gentle attitude to win the support of ordinary people in Chang'an City.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
