    The fire in Chang'an City has had a considerable impact. The city is still under martial law, but the victims have spontaneously organized actions to rebuild their homes.  After all, life needs to be maintained day by day, and the livelihood of the whole family needs to be maintained, and at night, they also need to have a roof over their heads.  The disaster management committee temporarily installed by the imperial court did not go very smoothly in implementing disaster relief. It was an impossible task to arrange and resettle all the victims in one day. Liu Yu was not particularly embarrassed in this regard.  officials below.  This time the disaster relief was led by Liu He, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and jointly responsible by the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Industry, with the Yamen of Jingzhao Prefecture as the main implementation personnel. On the day of the fire, in addition to distributing some food and water, some  The disaster control committee didn't do anything about the temporary tents.  On the other hand, the campaign to eliminate the Three Puritans in the city is still in full swing.  First it was the Buddhist temple, then the Taoist temple, and then the new army led by Huo Bing conducted an inventory of the shops and warehouses in the city.  In Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, the court found a large number of weapons. Liu Yu calculated that these weapons were enough to arm an army of several thousand people. Unfortunately, they were cold weapons.  However, the court did not find anything useful in the store's warehouse. Liu Yu guessed that Su Zhe might not have thought of hiding the weapons in such a conspicuous place in the store.  After the fire, although the imperial court gradually relaxed martial law in the city, it continued to search for the remnants of the Three Puritans. As more people were imprisoned, the influence of the Three Puritans and the remaining power of the Three Puritans in Chang'an City  , has been basically eradicated by the court.  Liu Yu adopted a relatively mild interrogation method for some key members of the Three Puritans, and sent some people to the border areas under the joint interrogation of the three divisions, and then sent more people out.  Liu Yu felt that killing was too cruel.  So they used the method of dispatching to dispatch these people who were once good people of the Dashun Dynasty, but now were the thugs of the Dashun Dynasty, to the western border, and let them suffer some hardships at the border.  In addition to being distributed, more members of the Three Puritans were simply imprisoned.  At that time, the imperial court did not have so many resources to interrogate every member of the Three Puritans. They had to wait in cells for a long time to get the results of the trial.  It will soon be the twelfth lunar month.  An intense round of clearing operations has been carried out for nearly a month, and relatively good results have been achieved during this period.  At least at this time, public opinion throughout the imperial court, from Chang'an City to Guanzhong, had basically classified the Three Purities Sect as a cult.  And the remnants of the Three Puritans have reached the point where everyone wants to be beaten.  All this is due to the fire caused by the Three Puritans in Chang'an City. After that fire, even some neutral sympathizers turned their guns and joined the party that denounced the Three Puritans. This was a rare moment between the court and the people.  Reach a consensus of understanding.  Post-disaster reconstruction has also made good progress.  With the arrival of autumn grain in Dashun Dynasty.  The imperial court's financial crisis further improved. At this time, the southern expedition army led by Qi Fang was also transferred back to the north of the Yangtze River. The soldiers who were returning home were returning to various places. After paying a severance pay and bounty, the imperial court's large-scale military expenditures  It will no longer need to be maintained from the end of the year, and the court already has excess money to help the victims of the fire in Chang'an City with post-disaster reconstruction.  In Liu Yu's words, this is buying people's hearts.  That is at this time.  News came from the north that the Turkic tribute envoys had arrived at Shaowu Pass and requested permission to enter the Shun Dynasty.  It has been more than a year since the Turks were defeated and surrendered. According to the original surrender agreement, the Turks must pay tribute to the Shun Dynasty in large quantities every year in exchange for the Dashun Dynasty's protection. This tribute is also the first time since the Turks surrendered to the Shun Dynasty.  Pay tribute.  In the past, the Central Plains dynasty fought against the northern nomads, although there were victories and losses.  But it is the first time in history that foreigners can be beaten to surrender and pay tribute.  Liu Yu thought that this was a rare publicity opportunity to make the military and civilians of the Shun Dynasty feel the national prestige of the Dashun Dynasty and further eliminate the Three Puritans, so in terms of methods.  Liu Yu also took high-profile measures to pay tribute to the Turkic envoys, adopted the model of announcing the announcement to the world, and sent people to welcome the arrival of these envoys with great fanfare.  The life of the Turks was very difficult in the year after the war. First, the Dardo tribe completed the unification of the Turks, but due to the heavy losses of Turkic people and animals in the war, they did not recover at all for more than a year.  Later, many ethnic groups emerged from the west of the grassland to rob the Turks' livestock and people. The Turks' territories also moved eastward and south step by step. Now they can only rely on the protection of the Dashun Dynasty to barely occupy the original Monan land.  The original land in Mobei was also occupied by some emerging ethnic groups.  This time the Turks said they came to pay tribute, and they also wanted to ask for help from the Shun Dynasty, so that the Shun Dynasty could help them regain the territory that originally belonged to them. Therefore, in terms of tribute method, the new Turkic Khan sent the "Prince", that is, Timur himself.  He brought envoys and tribute livestock and sheep to try to impress Shun Chao.  The Turks after the war are also unified in their hearts. They also know that if they are not united now, they will be beaten passively. Now the Shun Dynasty may allow them to exist, butThese emerging nations will not give them any chance.  Some tribes that had been oppressed by the Turks for many years finally waited until the Turks declined. Many of them separated from the majority of the Turks and went on their own. Originally they had to pay tribute to the Turks, but now they can live their own lives and plunder the Turks.  Territory, they are developing their own tribe step by step, and are on the path to the former Turkic dominance of the grasslands.  Before the envoy team arrived in Guanzhong, Liu Yu had read the credentials submitted by the Turks. Liu Yu did not comment on sending troops.  In fact, he had no plans to send troops to the grassland again.  He also hoped that the tribes on the grassland would fight, which would save Shun Chao. When they were almost done fighting, Shun Chao would send troops to the grassland to consolidate, gather some surrendering tribes, and continue to help the Central Plains Dynasty rule the grassland and save the province.  Save effort and effort.  Liu Yu had read the list of Turkic tributes and felt very satisfied. This time, the Turks had spent a lot of money to impress the Shang Dynasty to help them eradicate those disobedient friends.  Liu Yu was not interested in these. What he was interested in was the Turkic envoy, the little beggar Timur, a little girl with a prairie style. Liu Yu had always been interested in her, but because Timur was in Chang'an City last time  At that time, Chang'an City was completing a transfer of power. Liu Yu was busy fighting among himself and ignored her affairs. This time Timur came to Chang'an City, which was like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.  Liu Yu also thought about it. This time Timur will be "detained" by him in Chang'an City for the time being. Unless he gives birth to a little grassland khan, he will not easily help the grassland people.  At the end of the letter of credence, the Turkic Tian Khan, Timur's father Dardo Khan, actually proposed a "marriage" and said that he had selected many "noble girls" from various grassland tribes and accompanied the tribute team.  When I come to Shun Dynasty, I will "marriage" with Shun Dynasty and so on.  But as for the method of marriage, the credentials are not very detailed. Originally, the beauties sent by these foreign countries to the Central Plains Dynasty were all supposed to be given to the emperor, but now the emperor of the Shun Dynasty is the empress. Is it okay to give them to the empress as maids?  Marriage?  Liu Yu thought for a while, probably these women were given to him, but due to some red tape, they also felt that sending some women to compete with the Queen of Shun Dynasty to snatch their husbands might lead to retaliation, so they would not write it in the credentials.  These contents were written very implicitly, so implicitly that Liu Yu had to guess by himself.  Liu Yu was not too interested in this, because he had a kind of respectful attitude toward the smelly prairie girls who didn't take baths all year round. Even Timur had many "deficiencies" in her love of beauty and cleanliness.  place.  Only because Liu Yu had a relationship with Timur would he accept some of her living habits. Suddenly so many foreign women were coming, and Liu Yu still couldn't accept it.  "However, Liu Yu was very generous. After receiving the credentials, he immediately announced the credentials, but made certain deletions in the content of the marriage.  Among them, the Turks' behavior of offering beautiful women was said to be to use "noble girls" from various grassland tribes to marry some families in Chang'an City to achieve the purpose of friendly relations between the two countries. Liu Yu also specifically mentioned in the edict that it was necessary to  Among the big families in Chang'an City, some young men of similar age were selected to marry these foreign women.  In name, these women from foreign countries were allowed to be the main wives, but in fact, the imperial court gave these women to the major families in Chang'an City as gifts.  Most of these families are direct families of Liu Yu, such as the Li family represented by Li Mi, or the Sui family.  The Turkic envoys have not yet arrived in Chang'an City, but the imperial court has already begun to make advance preparations, and even the marriage arrangements have been roughly arranged.  The families in Chang'an City showed bipolar attitudes after being informed by the court that they wanted to marry a foreign country.  Supporters believed that this was a good opportunity to get closer to the court headed by Liu Yu, and they should respond to the call and "contribute" the newly grown men in the family to the court for selection to make peace with the foreign countries.  Opponents expressed timidity. In the past, the Central Plains dynasty gave away princesses or noblewomen from large families to fanbang and relatives. Now, in turn, they wanted to "give away" men. They said they could not accept it.  ¡°In the final analysis, they misunderstood Liu Yu¡¯s meaning.  Liu Yu wanted to send women from other countries to them, but these families thought that Liu Yu was causing trouble again and made them pay.  This immediately made Liu Yu feel which families were facing him and which families were considering their own interests.  At this time, it was a time when the emperor and his courtiers were the same, the new emperor was firmly on the throne, and there was going to be a major replacement of officials. Liu Yu also had an idea of ??which political families he needed to abandon, and which families needed to be supported. He  Detailed summaries and plans were also made secretly.
