The war in the south was over, but it did not mean the end of the One-year-old War. In late August, Chen Chong received the news that the Wu troops had withdrawn. Not long after, Jiang Ji in Youzhou sent another military report saying that the Liao troops had once again left Liaoze.
, approaching Lulong Fortress. Speaking of which, Cao Zhen has been invaded every year in recent years. In fact, the government and the public have become accustomed to it. After several years of renovation, the defenses in the Lulong area can be said to be impregnable, and the probability that Cao's army can break through them is very high.
It is decreasing year by year. But this year, Chen Chong still paid a lot of attention to the Liao Army. After all, Hebei was at a critical moment in implementing the order to abolish the dock, and it must not be abandoned halfway because of the Liao Army's factors.
As expected, after the announcement of the abolition of the docking order, most of the three prefectures in Hebei were still waiting and watching, and few were willing to cooperate. In May, Chen Dao wrote in a letter to Chen Chong that according to the six-month search by the county and county governments
, it was roughly determined that 274 Wubao must be abandoned, but as of the date of sending the letter, even though he repeatedly claimed that the court would take the initiative to provide compensation, only 16 Wubao were willing to take the initiative to abandon the Wubao. If you want to thoroughly implement the New Deal,
It seems far away now.
After reading it, Chen Chong immediately wrote back to Chen Dao, instructing: Since there are many people watching, why not use thunderbolt methods! Specifically, Chen Chong was ordered to conduct an incognito inspection first to find those in the big family who have close ties with the horse thieves. Once conclusive evidence is found, Chen Chong
When you arrive, you can immediately lead your troops to capture them. If there is resistance, you might as well attack and destroy them, which will have the effect of deterring the small group. Chen Chong specially encouraged him at the end of the letter: "There are things in the world that some people do and others do not do. Heroes are brave and help the people. Gentlemen are cautious.
If you stay alive, you will become immortal."
At the same time, he wrote to Zhang Fei and ordered him to lead 50,000 Beifu troops out of Huguan, patrol from Yecheng to Xindu, pass through Zhuojun, and pass through four states and eleven counties, in order to demonstrate the determination of the country.
By June, even though the war in the south was raging, Chen Chong still focused on Hebei. In that month, the Prime Minister's Office promulgated the "Order to Advance Talents", which said: "The previous dynasties recruited scholars and established four subjects: one is high virtue and pure integrity;
The second is to be able to be a doctor if you practice the classics clearly; the third is to be proficient in the law, able to resolve doubts, and be able to answer questions about cases and cases, then you can be appointed as censor; the fourth is to be resolute and resourceful, not confused when things happen, clear enough to take advantage of the evil, and supportive enough to make decisions.
He has only been appointed for hundreds of years. The country is in continuous trouble and the government officials are short of talents. It is the right time to recruit people. Therefore, four special subjects have been recruited and tested for the posts. Chen Dao, the person in charge of the Hebei case, will act on his behalf." This is the recruitment in advance.
Hebei scholars have made preparations. As long as a county magistrate obeys the order to abolish the dock, Chen Dao will give priority to him and send him to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
By August, when the Liao army attacked, Chen Dao had identified eighteen families who had colluded with the horse thieves, and eliminated them one by one. The leaders were beheaded, and their families and followers were sent to Yizhou. Some nobles were afraid and dared not
However, a considerable number of nobles did not give up. They verbally agreed to abolish the Wubao, but in fact they used various methods to delay the abolition of the Wubao. They might claim that they were sick and could not leave the house, or they bribed Chen to plead for mercy, or they gathered people to cause trouble to avenge their grievances.
, of course, there are inevitably some people who colluded with the Liao people. Not only did they cause a fuss in the local area, but even more, hundreds of people came to Luoyang in groups, played drums in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and claimed that Chen Dao, the person who carried out the case, had colluded.
It is illegal and requires him to be jailed and punished.
Since the founding of the country, there has never been such a strange incident of local scholars going to Beijing to file a lawsuit, so there was a great uproar in the capital. When the court meeting was held, people such as Zheng Yien, Sun Qian, Zhang Yi, etc. all argued that this matter was detrimental to the state. , advised Chen Chong to abolish the abolition of the dock order. In private, some students who had followed Chen Chong for many years were also persuading. For example, Yu Fan discussed with Chen Chong, saying that the country was still at war, and the teacher did not need to be so worried. He might as well suspend the abolition first. It is not too late to wait a few years before implementing the dock order.
Chen Chong had already prepared for these situations and could not shake his determination. The only thing that surprised him was that Zhang Fei, who was traveling abroad, also sent a letter. Zhang Fei said in the letter that he was passing through counties in Hebei. Seeing that "the clothes and clothes are in disgrace, the grace and etiquette are in ruins", and "the high moral integrity is abandoned, and the wealthy family is in disgrace", it can be said that "the ears cannot bear to hear, the eyes cannot bear to see", fearing that it will lose the support of the people, causing "the roots to be affected, and the whole world to be boiling", so it is also It was suggested that Chen Chong give up the order to abolish the dock. This made Chen Chong very disappointed. He knew that Zhang Fei liked to make friends with scholars and was not considerate of the people. He must have been taken over by many people, so he wrote back: "Gao Zu was born as the pavilion chief. If you use your merits and destiny to conquer the world, where are your clothes and hats? If you exterminate all the people now and take the beautiful gifts, you may be laughed at by all generations to come!"
Chen Chong seemed weak, but he was strong on the inside. Even if the government and the public were different, he did not change. On the contrary, he reiterated the need to abolish the dock order in the court, and at the same time, he took in the visitors one by one and placed them in the capital's mansion. Apparently, he planned to take a long-term view. In the next two months, Chen Chong dedicated time to talk to the visitors one by one, record their grievances, and sent people to the local areas to verify and collect evidence. In the end, comparing the two comparisons, there were less than 11 that could be consistent with the truth. Chen Chong was about to make false claims. Those who were arrested were imprisoned and then sent to Jiuquan. The government and the public were now in a state of solemnity, saying nothing about the rights and wrongs of the New Deal.
In October of winter, the Prime Minister's Office wrote down the details of the case in a public notice and posted it in the three prefectures and counties of Hebei. Unfortunately, the chaos in Hebei did not disappear, and became more and more rampant under the attack. By the end of October, Fuyang on the Bohai Sea Some Gaoji people claimed that the traitor Chen Chong had harmed the government and abused the people, so he raised an army in the name of Qingjun. Gaoji claimed to be a general assisting the Han Dynasty and supported more than ten thousand people. Within a few days, he captured Fuyang, Zhangwu, Hai In Xingsan County, they scared away Haiping Zhonglang General Huangfu Li. Seeing this, the surrounding Wubao also raised troops to respond, and it was likely to sweep Cangzhou.
On this sensitive occasion, Dukang Zhonglang General Wang Ji told Chen Chong: "The thieves in Gaoji have raised an army. It seems cruel, but in fact it is weak and not a real opponent. Since the imperial court has shown its power, it is not appropriate to stop the army. A high base seems to be cowardice, and it is a failure to trust the people. For political debates, the prime minister is simple and simple for the people. When the country hears about it, the truth is clear. The people will consider themselves guilty and dare not become the source of treachery. And the delay will last for a long time. , because of the Liao invaders, Youyan is not a part of the country, Cang, is in danger and uneasy, this plan is a big failure. The army should quickly enter the Bohai Sea, force the thieves to the north of Fuyang, so that they cannot move rashly, so as to seize the enemy first. , the thieves will succeed!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So he crossed his own defense zone and marched to Fuyang. At this time, it was only ten days before the Gaoji uprising. Wang Ji's letter had not yet reached Luoyang, and the army had already Appearing at Bailangwu in the north of Fuyang, Gaoji was shocked. The mob that originally gathered dispersed within a day, leaving only a few thousand people. The Hebei plain was wide, but Gaoji's team lacked horses. As a result, they had no choice but to stay in the self-built White Bird Pier, which Wang Ji broke into in three days. After that, the White Bird Pier was burned down by Wang Ji, and all his troops except the mastermind were dismissed by Wang Ji.
When Wang Ji returned to Youzhou along the original route, it was snowing heavily in Hebei Province. Snowflakes fell from the sky and stuck to the ground. You could still see the horse hoof prints when they came, so Wang Ji was called "General Treadmark".
". After that, for a while, Hebei was in good order. Even though there were still discords when implementing the executive order, there were no more horse thieves.
At this time, Chen Chong had just received Wang Ji's invitation form. Chen Chong was very excited to receive the victory. He walked around the room with the letter. When he saw Fu Qian coming back from Taixue, he sincerely admired him.
Said: "Yancai, you have recommended a minister of Suwei to the imperial court, an official of the Secret Pavilion."
After the Gaoji Rebellion was put down, the Liao army retreated again, and the last obstacle to the implementation of the Abandoned Dock Order was removed. At the end of the year, Chen Dao once again reported to Chen Chong the details of the Abandoned Dock in Hebei, which was originally scheduled to be abandoned.
Of the 274 forts, 199 have been abandoned at this time. It is optimistically estimated that the country will be able to abandon all the remaining forts by March next year at the latest. And by then, the court will be able to let go.
Policies such as land transfer, registration, and nobility trials have been implemented in Hebei.
After this year, the country's war was undefeated, the policies implemented were going smoothly, and everything seemed to be developing in a good direction. Chen Chong was deeply pleased with this. He did not blame Huangfu Li, who had lost his temper in Cangzhou, but praised the meritorious officials.
Praise. For example, Zhuge Liang added a new title to the Marquis of Nanxiang and increased the number of 300 households; Chen Dao, the executor of the case, promoted the title to the Marquis of Wusuixiang and increased the number of 200 households; Duke Kang Zhonglang promoted Wang Ji to a partial general and entered the Jue Pass.
Hou, give me a hundred gold.
On New Year's Day in the third year of Yanxi (AD 223), Queen Mother Liu Jia suddenly sent her maid to the Prime Minister's house. The palace maid did not bring anything else with her, and handed over the Queen Mother's letter to Chen Chong in person. Liu Jia had not contacted Chen Chong for a long time, and even ordered
Chen Chong was very surprised and thought that she had finally thought about it. After reading it, he realized that it was business. It turned out that Liu Jia was talking about enlightening the emperor Liu Yi.
The emperor is seven years old this year, and he is at the age where he can learn to read and learn science. The people who accompany the emperor in the palace are all warriors selected by Chen Chong. Although it is not that there are no talented people like Jiang Wei who are both civil and military, they still make Liu Jia disgusted. So.
Liu Jia said in the letter that he hoped that Chen Chong would find some famous and credible scholars and doctors in Taixue to come to the palace to give lectures to the emperor.
Lecture for the emperor! Chen Chong looked at this letter and suddenly remembered a lot of past events. After careful calculation, he had already lectured for two emperors. Everyone in the world called Chen Chong a wise man, as if he was omnipotent, but in
When it came to preaching for the emperor, Chen Chong failed again and again. Whether he was strict or tolerant, he tried them all, but in the end they were all unsatisfactory. Now that he has lectured for the third time for the emperor, he has been able to gain
Success?
Chen Chong thought for a while and finally gave up on this. He was already in his early sixties, his energy was not as good as before, and he was still busy with official duties. I was afraid that he could no longer teach the emperor as before. And as he grew older, Chen Chong understood
Chen Chong felt deeply that he might not live long enough to serve as Emperor Yuanfu. It would be better to find some young teachers for him! With this thought, Chen Chong called Fu Gan, who was serving as a doctor's priest, and asked him to find some doctors who are now doctors of the Five Classics.
After reading their writings, Chen Chong planned to use the books to read people and see who was suitable.
