Chen Xian returned to the mansion, Chen Chu had not yet set off to the north, Chen Xian told his son about the construction of the capital, Chen Chu was responsible for finding merchants, and recently Yang Yingqi asked him to put this major matter aside, and everything was given priority to the northern expedition, but he didn't expect that less than a few days later, there would be such a change.

Chen Chuqi said: "This thing is strange, how did Han Fang make this suggestion, when did he go with the Ouyang family?" ”

Chen Xian said: "Han Fang threaded the needle for Ouyang, that was just a superficial article, in fact, it was not him who really cared about Ouyang going north. ”

Chen Chu thought for a while, and was even more surprised in his heart: "Is that Your Majesty?" ”

"Probably so." Chen Xian said: "Han Fang only raised this matter after he arrived at His Majesty's side. Even if this matter was not indicated by His Majesty, His Majesty must have agreed to it after Han Fang raised it. ”

Chen Chu didn't understand again: "But why did Your Majesty transfer Ouyang to the north to Gyeonggi?" It's useless for him to come! ”

Chen Xiandao: "Why is it useless? ”

Chen Chu said: "The separation of Gyeonggi civil and military has been perfected. Not to mention Yang Qi, even his father and several deputy ministers, any one of them standing up is enough to seek the country, so many capable people get together, and Yang Xiang is the head of the government to preside over government affairs, and the prince is in charge of the country, which is already a stable pattern. As for martial arts, Yang Shuai is in the center, Cao Shuai is guarding the Yellow River, and Liu Quchong and Zhao Zhu are guarding the frontier, which is also a rare good pattern. I really don't understand what His Majesty wants to transfer Ouyang into Beijing for, and I don't know why Yang Xiang and my father are in favor. ”

Chen Xian smiled and said, "My son, your heat is still a little worse." I am in favor of this matter, that is to reconcile the civil and military, but Yang Xiang may not be in favor of this matter, he is probably just taking care of the overall situation. ”

Chen Chu heard Chen Xian say the words "reconcile civil and military", pondered in his heart, and said: "Reconcile civil and military? Now that my Han is not in tune with the civil and military? No, it won't. Yang Shuai of the privy council and Cao Shuai of the frontier, but whenever there is anything, Yang Xiang will try his best to cooperate, which everyone can see; As for Yang Shuai and Cao Shuai to Yang Xiang, there is nothing to say - Yang Xiang wants to implement political innovation, and Cao Shuai immediately asks for power reduction, and this kind of tacit understanding between generals is that there are not a few cases in thousands of years! ”

Chen Xian said with a sigh: "My son, there are some things that you can see better than others, such as Cao Shuai's self-request to cut power, others only say that he is for self-protection and to avoid suspicion, but they don't know that there is also a deep intention to cooperate with Yang Xiang's administrative innovation and centralization. But once you understand one layer, why don't you want to go deeper? ”

"Want to go deeper?"

"Yes, it is the great fortune of the country to be harmonious, but the relationship between the generals is too close, and it may not be the great luck of the king!"

Chen Chu was shocked: "Could it be that Your Majesty is ...... He doesn't trust Cao Shuai and Er Yang? ”

Chen Xian smiled slightly and said, "It's too much to say that you don't trust." But there are some things that are better to be prevented, and if you wait until something happens, it will be too late. Between the monarch and the minister, there must be a degree of what to do. ”

Chen Chu suddenly realized that the "civil and military" that Chen Xian was talking about was a higher level of civil and military, and said: "In this way, Your Majesty is not here to help Ouyang into Beijing at all, but to stir up peace?" ”

Chen Xian smiled and said, "Not bad." ”

"But this ......," Chen Chu said, "This may not be beneficial to state affairs!" ”

Chen Xian said with a smile: "In state affairs, there may be a small mistake. When Ouyang arrives in Gyeonggi, he will pull Yang Xiang's hind legs, which I think is very likely. But after all, His Majesty is personally conquering Mobei this time, and he is going to make a big risk, as soon as he leaves, the power in the rear will fall into the hands of Yang Xiang, the prince is young, and Yang Xiang's prestige is too heavy, even if the two brothers can trust each other in their affairs, but when it comes to the situation, they can't help but be restrained after all, so how to maintain the trust of their two brothers is the top priority of everything! ”

Chen Chu said: "So Yang Xiang and Daddy agreed to this matter in order to take care of the overall situation?" ”

"yes." Chen Xian sighed: "As soon as Ouyang Shi comes, not only Yang Xiang, but also Zhenghuixian's nephew and I will not have a good time." ”

Chen Chu said: "At that time, the child is afraid that he has already gone north, and his father is in Tanggu, so he has to be careful." ”

Chen Xian laughed and said: "Don't worry, rest assured, it's just that something happens, on the first bird, it will inevitably be Chen Zhenghui's turn first, and on the tree behind it, but it is Yang Xiang." I lowered my head a little, Chen Zhenghui was in the way of the emergency, and Yang Xiang was in the way of the disaster, and it would be fine. He also said: "In fact, when it comes to the power of Tanggu, who can match Yang Xiang?" Really fighting, the four generals are not opponents. After all, the four generals and I are the hosts, I hope he will not be rash, and stop when it is time to stop, otherwise I am afraid that he will be embarrassed. ”

Soon Zhiyanchong officially issued a mobilization order, announcing the world and driving the expedition. Han Ting did not reveal to the outside world that Xiao Tienu was besieged in Kedun City, although some well-informed people also guessed that the situation in Mobei might not be good, but the main direction of public opinion was still firmly controlled by Yang Yingqi, under his ingenious arrangement, this second northern expedition was described as an active expedition, rather than forced reinforcements, and those who questioned the situation in Mobei were all beaten into the ranks of "spy remarks" and "Jin Kou rumors".

"Let's go, let's go! To the north, to the north! ”

Students from all over the country were encouraged in a good situation and praised the emperor's northern expedition enthusiastically and loudly.

"This time, we must make a concerted effort to include Mobei in the territory! Hu and Han are unified, and Huaxia is Dachang! ”

With the improvement of public order, the prosperity of the market, and the stability and unity brought about by the autumn harvest and tax exemption order in the first quarter, the entire Hebei Road is singing and dancing, as if celebrating the unrealized triumph of the Northern Expedition in advance.

Zhe Yan Chong dispatched troops and sent troops to Linhuang Mansion with Aruban to cooperate with the entire Northern Expedition, and Ouyang Shi led part of the naval division north to Tanggu to defend the Gyeonggi Maritime Frontier, and at the same time led the director of the new capital to build the capital. The army continued to advance, and Mughul marched into the city of Kedun on the same day with 30,000 cavalry as the vanguard, and Zhiyan Chong led the Chinese army of 60,000, and Wang Xuan's rear army of 30,000, and marched first. General Lang was recommended by Lu Yanlun, and he was also able to enter the Chinese army, leading 3,000 Xiabian iron cavalry as the first battalion of the Chinese army.

How many people were mobilized in this northern expedition? Even Yang Yingqi and Chen Zhenghui only have a rough estimate, if the Han government deliberately exaggerates, together with the logistics team, the "million army" can be called out. Hundreds of thousands of people were mobilized, starting from Tanggu, Yanjing, Liaokou, Jinmen, Liaoyang, Huanglong and other places, escorting grain and grass to Dading Mansion and Linhuang Mansion, and then escorting them to the front line with the army.

Not only the officials dispatched, but even the merchants also flocked to the top, and the merchant grain route has been opened, as long as the merchants transport the grain and grass to the big water, it is twice the profit, and to the big salt lake, it is five times the profit! If it can be transported to the city of Kedun with the army, it will be ten times the profit! This year, the harvest on Hebei's Dongxi Road, Gyeonggi Road, and Andongnan Road was good, and the government issued a decree in Hebei to reduce or reduce agricultural taxes.

If during the reign of the old Song Dynasty, the peasants paid taxes in order to exchange for silver money and cloth, and the merchants lowered the price when they came to buy grain, they had no choice, but this year, most of the farmers on Hebei Road did not have to pay taxes, and they could also pay taxes directly with grains, so they were not in a hurry to make a move. In addition, the Han court followed the policy in southern Liaoning, and price lists were posted at all levels, so it was not easy for profiteers to deceive. Hebei Road is a dilapidated new administrative district, after the chaos into the Great Governance, the area is not serious, the grain circulation channels have not been monopolized, because the merchants can not carry out effective price reduction on a large scale, so this year to open up the wasteland farming home, most of them have been moistened by the Northern Expedition War, and are expected to have a fat year.

This packaged war and this autumn harvest that complemented the war have made dozens of prefectures and counties in Hebei present a thriving atmosphere. If it weren't for the hundreds of fleeing victims around the Tanggu Huabiao Altar, this winter would have been able to announce that the Han Dynasty had entered a prosperous era. But those victims were lying there, and they didn't care that those who desperately wanted to whitewash the peace regarded them as a thorn in their side, but they waited with straight eyes for the Yamen to give them a bite to eat as usual.

"Where did those people come from? Isn't this here to discredit my big man? It's just out of place! ”

However, the rules of Huabiao Altar are: within 100 steps, no iron enters, military attachés dismount, civil officials dismount, come and go freely, and those who speak are not guilty.

Not only are those who say nothing guilty, but all those who come here should be in charge of the yamen and not starve them, and they will be given two meals of porridge and rice in the morning and evening, and a tent for the stove in winter.

"But why didn't they go to Camp Wynne?" Some people also questioned that some officials had sent people to persuade them to go to the Huai'en camp, which was specially responsible for taking in the homeless and helpless people from all over the country. But many did not dare to come down, supposedly out of fear.

"What are they afraid of?"

It's not that no one knows about this issue, but it's been slow to deal with it. Not long after, the solemn Huabiao Altar, which had been praised by literati and scholars in the early days of its construction, was surrounded by more than 100 small black and dirty tents, and at a glance, it became a refugee camp. Most of these people have no culture, no cultivation, stay here for a long time, feces, urine, and garbage are naturally thrown near the left, and within half a month, the entire Huabiao altar will stink.

Huabiaotan represents the people-oriented political philosophy of the Han court, and is one of the most noble buildings in Tanggu. Shame on you! The people above, why don't you deal with it! ”

However, there are also some scholars and scholars with a conscience who have the opposite attitude: "Do you want to drive them away?" So what else is this Huabiao altar set for! They must have their reasons for doing this, but if the root of the problem is not solved, what is the use of blindly covering it up? ”

"Qilang," Zhao Ju'er hugged the child and said to Yang Yingqi: "You don't know about this matter, right?" ”

"yes, I know."

"Then you should deal with it." Zhao Ju'er said: "Although the Huabiao altar is free to come and go, but ...... It's too unseemly. ”

Yang Yingqi was stunned for a long time and said, "Decent? It's not just unseemly. When they gather there, they're actually slapping me. ”

Zhao Ju'er said: "Then you still don't deal with it?" ”

"I can't handle it for a while." Yang Yingqi said: "So, I can only take them in the face first." Although they are dazzling there, it is this glare that reminds me all the time: my business is not done yet. ”

About VIP Referral Tickets

Alas, now the most conspicuous list on the homepage has become a VIP recommendation ticket list (instead of a flower list), and there used to be a book friend in the book review area who asked if he wanted to buy VIP recommendation tickets for Ah Bo, and I said no at that time, because it was not worth it. But now I really want to cry when I look at the data on the VIP recommendation list, there are only more than 100 tickets this Friday, and Ah Bo doesn't covet that bonus, but I feel very embarrassed. A Bo's subscription is not too low in kk, I heard that every VIP book friend has a free ticket every day, even if it is calculated, even if only half of the book friends who have subscribed voted for this free ticket to Bian Rong, it is no problem to sit in the top three or even rush to the first, probably because friends are troublesome...... Alas, I can only be cheeky here, please remember to order a little after subscribing every day, it is not too troublesome, but it is a great support for Ah Bo and "Bian Rong". Thank you.
