After half a day, this doubt was explained.

The people of Yongzhou took refuge in Taiping Road, but they were all killed by Shoufu Lou Youzhi and his army!

Disaster relief has turned into suppressing bandits!

Suddenly, the city's welcome turned into reviled by the city.

"The entire Yongzhou has surrendered to the rebels? How is this possible?!"

"I see, this is a lie made up by the traitor!"

"Lies? Then...then the Yongzhou people are still alive?"

"Alive? How can you be alive!"

"You have forgotten that if the bandits were really suppressed, the relief food would be useless. Where would it go?"

"——His! You mean, the traitor took it for himself?"

"It's just about embezzlement. I'm afraid that the traitor will really kill them all in order to prove the charge of rebellion in Yongzhou!"

"Executioner! Executioner!!!"

"My ancestral home is in Yongzhou, and I still have my clan relatives in Yongzhou... Traitors should be punished!"

"..."

Maybe someone is secretly guiding you, maybe not.

Lou Youzhi's official reputation among the people was destroyed in just half a day.

At first, people only speculated and discussed privately.

Even those who are bolder and dare to shout around are just replaced by the word "treacherous minister".

Until a new piece of news spreads.

"Jiang Zhihong, the censor of the former left capital, was the chief culprit of the Yongzhou rebellion. He was captured by the chief auxiliary officer in Yongzhou and executed late and late on the spot."

The people's first reaction to this was that it was impossible.

After all, this place is at the feet of the emperor, and things in the court will occasionally be spread.

And Jiang Zhihong, a strong official in officialdom, naturally occupies the C position frequently.

Over time, in the eyes of everyone, Jiang Zhihong was the best official in Daqing.

He is upright and hates evil as much as he hates it.

No matter how high-ranking an official is, any violation of law or discipline will be dealt with without ambiguity.

How could such a person betray the imperial court and take the entire Yongzhou with him?

Thinking with your toes, this is impossible.

As a result, private public resentment turned into public outrage.

The common people called out to their friends and loudly denounced the person who was the leader of the court, saying that he was greedy for profit and was guilty of heinous crimes.

Even the word traitor was directly replaced by traitor, traitor.

It lasted for several days and showed no signs of letting up.

The backyard of the Xue Yi Wei General Office.

Lou Youzhi and Dou Tianyuan stood side by side by the pond.

"Your Majesty is really cruel."

Dou Tianyuan's tone was a bit disheartened, "First, I used your hands to massacre millions, then I used my hands to get rid of An Guogong and his family, and now I want to use the hands of the common people to deal with you... One link

One ring after another, one move after another, haha."

"I had already expected it when I was in Yongzhou."

Lou Youzhi said calmly.

"Then have you ever thought about what His Majesty will do next?"

Dou Tianyuan asked seriously.

"I don't know how to do it."

Lou Youzhi's face does not change.

"Don't lie to me."

Dou Tianyuan looked solemn, "If your guess is correct and Ji Qingzhi has a close relationship with His Majesty, then he can produce evidence anytime and anywhere to label you as a traitor."

"Just because he can deal with me at any time, he won't do anything."

Lou Youzhi explained, "Unless there is a new candidate for the first assistant."

"New candidate for first assistant?"

Dou Tianyuan raised his eyebrows, a little puzzled, "Besides you, there are six other people in the cabinet. They can take your place anytime, anywhere, right?"

"The chief assistant of the cabinet and the commander-in-chief of the Blood-Shirt Guards. These two positions must be filled by people with simple backgrounds. This is a rule set long ago."

Lou Youzhi glanced at Dou Tianyuan and said, "You can look through the history books and see if anyone from aristocratic families has occupied these two positions."

"The background is simple...I understand."

Dou Tianyuan was not a fool, and he quickly understood after being reminded.

The Daqing Dynasty lasted for thousands of years, and the forces in the court were complicated.

It can almost be said that the relatives and the aristocratic family have been completely blended together.

Families with a little bit of fame have their daughters marrying into the royal family, or marrying princesses from the royal family.

Today's cabinet ministers and six ministers, except Lou Youzhi, all have this background.

If the royal family is compared to a landowner, all the officials in the court and the aristocratic family are like tenants in the landowner's family.

The cabinet is the steward who manages the tenants, and the blood-clad guards are the guardians of the landlords.

No matter how powerful the landlord is, there is still a risk that the housekeeper and the nurse will collude with the tenants and in turn compete with the landlord for profits.

To guard against this, either the landlords should work harder if they are able, or they should use people with clean backgrounds and no connections with the tenants to lead the housekeepers and nursing homes.

"As long as he wants to continue to ignore government affairs, he will not rush to take action against me."

Lou Youzhi continued, "At least ten years. After ten years, someone suitable to succeed me will appear."

"Ten years...are you referring to that classmate Xu Chong?"

Dou Tianyuan raised his eyebrows.

"Currently, he is the most likely, and the rest are not as good as him in terms of talent or qualifications."

As he said that, Lou Youzhi's eyes were slightly awe-inspiring, "A small Canglong can have the talent of the first assistant and the legacy of Taizu at the same time, and the entire Yongzhou..."

"Things have already happened. It is only right to seize the time to find out."

Dou Tianyuan looked serious, "Do you have any clues now?"

"Supernatural power."

Lou Youzhi slowly spit out two words.

"Supernatural power?!"

Dou Tianyuan was horrified, "Is there really such a thing?"

"Other than that, I can't think of any way to confuse millions of people at the same time and for as long as seven days."

Lou Youzhi narrowed his eyes, remembering his terrible guess.

Did Your Majesty bewitch Taiping Dao Master, or was Taiping Dao Master bewitching Your Majesty?

"Supernatural power..."

Dou Tianyuan pondered for a moment and shook his head: "The blood-clothed guard only has a few words, nothing of value."

"The Wenyuan Pavilion and the Imperial College don't have either."

Lou Youzhi said bluntly, "If you want to find out the origin of this magical power, you still have to start from the root."

"You mean...Taipingdao?"

Dou Tianyuan's eyes lit up, "The six major families have a long history, and it is very likely that there are relevant records... I went to the Hua family once when Xu Chonghuang Ting was cultivating Taoism, and I can go there anytime now."

"IMHO."

Lou Youzhi shook his head, "I'm afraid the Hua family doesn't have one."

"How to say?"

Dou Tianyuan was stunned.

"Although Wenyuan Pavilion does not have records of supernatural powers, there are records of Taiping Dao."

Lou Youzhi explained, "The Hua family was known to the imperial court as one of the six major families three hundred years ago, and they did not have enough background."
