    In the twelfth lunar month, residents in the city are also preparing for the arrival of the New Year after spending a troublesome year.  At this time, the ruling and opposition parties had basically calmed down, and the call for a change of Yuan Dynasty was still blowing stronger and stronger like the west wind in winter.  Qichang's reign name was about to come to an end. Even Liu Yu felt that it should be changed. People from the Ministry of Rites also held two meetings, but no results were produced for the time being.  At this time, the Turkic envoys' team was about to arrive in Chang'an City. When the court was about to go out to greet them with great fanfare, Liu Yu had to put the matter aside for the time being.  Liu Yu had no intention of keeping Su Yan in Chang'an City for the New Year. Su Yan seemed to be eager to go to the local area to establish a feudal vassal as early as possible in Chang'an City. He wrote a "Guilin Official List", which made Liu Yu feel that Su Yan couldn't wait to go to the local area.  Finally, Liu Yuyi made a plan and sent someone to see Su Yan off on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the envoy escorted was Linqing Hou Chaijin, who had just gone to greet the Turkic envoy.  Liu Yu felt that Su Yan still had something to hide, otherwise this ignorant person would not have written "The List of Criminal Officials". After Liu Yu read it, he simply felt that Su Yan was some kind of great writer who was trying to express to the court that he had no intention of resisting.  The determination of the court.  The more beautiful the words were, the more Liu Yu felt something was wrong.  "It's wrong, it's wrong, Liu Yu can't bring himself to kill Su Yan."  Su Yan also seemed to realize that staying in Chang'an City would only make Liu Yu change his mind at any time, so he was so eager to leave Chang'an, even if it left him some good memories here, even if there were too many unknowns on the road to becoming a feudal lord.  danger.  On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the imperial court welcomed the arrival of the Turkic envoys with great fanfare outside the east gate of Chang'an City.  For the residents of Chang'an City, this was a special day. After a miserable year and the pain of bereavement, the imperial court had a happy moment.  The Turks who once used force against the Dashun Dynasty came to Chang'an City to worship like their own people, and at the same time they brought a large number of cattle and sheep as tribute. This was a good time to go out hungry and brave the cold wind to "grow a long face".  The honor is shared, even though there are still many people in Dashun who are still suffering after the disaster.  They braved the biting cold wind and came out to experience this "glorious moment" together with the court's civil and military officials.  In the end, Liu Yu felt embarrassed and wanted to show his kindness to ordinary people no matter what, so he ordered that after welcoming the envoys, some new porridge shops for disaster relief would be added in Chang'an City.  It should be to comfort ordinary people.  For the residents of Chang'an City, having a mouthful of porridge in the cold winter is already a gift from God.  As for higher things, they dare not ask for it.  That's how people are, just running around for basic livelihood, no matter what "irrational thoughts" they have.  They won't be demanding.  Outside the east gate of Chang'an City, tens of thousands of Chang'an City residents gathered. Civil and military officials were waiting outside, while the new emperor was sitting behind the chariot and waiting.  It was not until the afternoon of that day that the Turkic envoys arrived belatedly, and Liu Yu waited outside for a long time, feeling a little impatient.  This was clearly a substandard reception.  Chai Jin said that the Turkic envoys would arrive in the morning, but it was not until mid-afternoon that the Turkic envoys arrived at Chang'an City, leaving Liu Yu unlucky to wait.  The welcoming event went very smoothly. The Turkic envoys were very "cognitive". In front of hundreds of civil and military officials of the Shun Dynasty and tens of thousands of people of the Dashun Dynasty, they presented their credentials to the Emperor of the Shun Dynasty and even knelt down and knelt down to worship.  Finally, the new emperor read out some "imperial orders" for the surrender of the Turks in public, and finally named Dardo Khan as the Supreme Khan, which means.  Even if you are the "Khan of Heaven", you are still under Emperor Shun Chao.  During the welcoming ceremony, Liu Yu met his old friend again, the little beggar Timur who had been with him day and night in the Western Regions.  After a year, Timur has grown a lot.  As the prince of the Turks, the future heir of the Khan of the Turks, and also the most likely prince to become the Khan of the N¨¹tian since the establishment of the Turks' tribe, Timur seems to be ready to inherit the throne of her father.  This time Timur came with the envoy team, as if he had the demeanor of the Khan of that day. The entire Turkic envoy team appeared to be in good order under her leadership. Liu Yu also knew that the Turks, who were now in trouble, had to  Let¡¯s work together to face internal and external troubles.  The more important issues related to the future prosperity of the race, the more these Turks are united.  After the Turks suffered a disastrous defeat against the Shun Dynasty, they were no longer able to overwhelm the entire grassland. Whether it was some of the old Turkic tribes or the emerging Turkic nobles, they all knew that if they did not work together, they would be replaced by other tribes.  , and the grassland will also change hands.  The welcoming ceremony ended in the afternoon. Liu Yu sent the Turkic envoys to the state posthouse to rest temporarily. As for the tribute cattle and sheep, Liu Yu did not allow them to enter Chang'an City.  Mainly, Chang'an City is not a place for grassland grazing. The problem of feed for so many livestock is a big problem. Liu Yu asked people from the Ministry of Household Affairs to temporarily find several larger places outside the city as temporary "pastures" for resettlement.  these livestock.  Liu Yu found these tributes very troublesome, and finally thought about it, he might as well kill them and give them to the people of Chang'an City to eat as part of the New Year.  So on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Turkic envoys came to Chang'an City.?The next day, the imperial court announced the results, expressing its determination to "have fun with the people."  It is scheduled to start slaughtering the cattle and sheep brought as tribute by the Turks around the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month. Beef and mutton will be distributed in some places in the city, and residents in the city can receive it on a per-household basis.  As for the cowhide and sheepskin, Liu Yu also thought about it and prepared to give them to the residents of the city. Anyway, it was a generous act, so Liu Yu didn't feel bad. In these days, meat is a precious delicacy that ordinary people cannot enjoy all year round.  Food, especially something as "rare" as beef and mutton.  The people naturally support the imperial court to enjoy itself with the people, but the officials are quite critical of it.  This was the first time in the history of the Dashun Dynasty that the imperial court distributed benefits to the people. However, just as it was the first time in history that the Turks paid tribute to the Shun Dynasty, Liu Yu always insisted on setting a precedent in everything he did. These officials raised some objections  Opinions, in the end, nothing came of it.  Liu Yu's decision is difficult to change, especially it is a "wise" decision that is supported by the people.  On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the imperial court held a simple banquet in Fengcui Palace for representatives of the Turkic envoys, Timur and some small tribal leaders.  The court's "benevolence" towards the vassal countries.  The reception banquet was hosted by Chai Jin, and both Liu Yu and Qier were present. The banquet originally went smoothly, although the banquet was just a one-man show for the Shun Dynasty people. It was a performance, officials made things difficult for the Turkic envoys, etc.  However, one of the Turkic envoys suddenly said at the end, "I heard that the city of Chang'an in your country is not at peace", which made the atmosphere of the entire banquet very embarrassing.  Many self-righteous Shun Dynasty officials blushed after hearing this, because a lot of things have indeed happened in Chang'an City recently.  The banquet ended in an unfriendly atmosphere. Liu Yu didn't pay much attention to what happened at the banquet. Originally, it was not part of his plan to blame the Turkic envoys for officials from the Shun Dynasty, but these officials seemed to like to show the superiority of the imperial state.  I feel so anxious about being pushed by others, and it¡¯s not surprising that I was ¡°humiliated¡± by others.  After Liu Yu returned to the inner court, he thought about what happened at the banquet and felt that the Three Puritans would do something to disrupt the relationship between Shun Dynasty and the Turks.  At this time, although the operation to eliminate the Three Puritans has come to an end for the time being, some of the chief criminals are still at large. Liu Yu also knew that it would not be easy to delay it like this, so it was better to "lead the snake out of the hole."  Liu Yu called some of his direct relatives into the palace, including Li Mi, Wang Hu and Qu Zhu. Liu Yu did not look for the stupid Huo Bing. This time he asked these three people to come to the palace to discuss a plan to lure the snake out of its hole.  Now that the three Puritans on the surface have almost been cleared up, the martial law in Chang'an City should be relaxed to stabilize the lives of the people in the city. On the basis of qualifications, the guards of some places should be relaxed and the Three Puritans should be relaxed.  Puritan people "chance".  The first place where the guard was relaxed was the national post house where the Turkic envoys stayed. Liu Yu felt that this should be the place that the Three Puritans were most worried about if they wanted to launch an attack.  After finishing the plan to lure the snake out of the cave, Liu Yu asked some military generals to come to the palace to discuss the simultaneous launch of the operation to eliminate the Three Puritans outside Chang'an City.  Liu Yu planned to make Chang'an City change from a state of internal tightness and external looseness to a state of internal looseness and external tightness. He would expand the army's search from inside the city to outside the city, with Chang'an City as the radiation, and the surrounding areas within two to three hundred miles.  With the city as the boundary, a new purge operation began.  Liu Yu only relied on the previous month to cleanse the forces of the Three Puritans in Chang'an City. He only made simple pacification in various places in Guanzhong. In fact, the purges carried out in many places did not meet Liu Yu's requirements.  Liu Yu wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to launch a campaign to purge the outside of Chang'an City, while making the remnants of the Three Puritans hidden in Chang'an City think that the imperial court was turning its attention from the inside to the outside, so that they could show up and annihilate them in one fell swoop.  After Liu Yu made all arrangements for the military deployment, a new purge operation began in full swing.  At this time, the two major events that the court had to face were the further purge of the Three Puritans and the arrival of the Turkic envoys. Liu Yu thought about it and decided that he could still focus on the purge of the Three Puritans. As for the  Don't worry too much about the Turks.  After the banquet, Liu Yu showed his indifference to the Turkic envoys. It seemed to be a "disrespectful" response to the Turkic envoys, but in fact it was also to put pressure on the Turkic envoys.  Liu Yu has received the letter of credence sent to the palace from Timur to borrow troops from the Dashun Dynasty. Liu Yu wants to use this attitude to show that he will never borrow troops, and your coming is in vain.  At this time, Liu Yu was also preparing to send Su Yan away, completely cutting off the thoughts of the Three Puritans and even some people with evil intentions.  At this time, Liu Liniang asked someone to inform Liu Yu that some arrangements within the Sanqing Sect had achieved some results.
