As the news reached the Northland, although it did not cause too many waves, the people who knew about it were more or less worried, especially the bureaucrats in the general's palace system.

After all, the hidden dangers of this imperial examination system are not only seen by people from other forces, but also by people from the Youzhou General's Mansion, and they are more concerned.

"At present, many people in private still give affirmation to the people screened out by the imperial examination, but they still have many concerns about many hidden dangers, and they are worried that it will damage our foundation."

Tong Hai reported the latest situation in front of Chen Zhi, revealing the fluctuation of people's hearts in this Youzhou-

"Although this group of people also trespass, but in the end it is out of good intentions, because they are in the General's Mansion, and they want to go further in the Governor's Mansion in the future, and whether the General's Mansion is strong or not is directly related to their vital interests, so it is inevitable that they will care about it."

"I know what you mean." Chen Zhi put down the pen in his hand, put the processed official document in one place, and then said, "It is necessary to calm people's hearts, but there are also some sayings at present, hoping that I will not continue to implement it after this imperial examination, thinking that if this law is implemented for a long time, it will corrupt people's hearts and make the foundation of Youzhou collapse itself." ”

When Tong Hai heard this, he wanted to speak and stopped.

Chen Zhi glanced at him and asked with a smile, "What do you think?" ”

Tong Hai shook his head and said: "The subordinates are responsible for spying, and they should not be suggested." ”

Chen Zhi said: "It's not a suggestion, you have been with me for a few years, and you can be regarded as a friend, today I am to ask you what you think of this imperial examination." ”

Tong Hai hesitated for a moment, and then said: "This method can be described as a great good deed, which can allow many people from such humble backgrounds as subordinates to have the opportunity to rank in the court, but if it is only because of the idea of compassion, such things are done, which will damage the roots of the family, and the future will not be conducive to the long-term peace and stability of our Youzhou." ”

"An act of mercy?" When Chen Zhi heard this, he shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "The root of this law is actually for the long-term stability of the General's Mansion, but these are complicated and may not be credible, but you say that other forces are the law of stability and long-term rule, but this is not right." ”

As he spoke, he noticed Tong Hai's expression, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to say that you are guilty, I am not saying that your words are wrong, on the contrary, your words have made me find the key, how to calm people's hearts, I finally have a little idea." ”

Tong Hai asked why.

"Those people in the south want to wait for me to be in chaos in Youzhou, but it is a little too wishful thinking, but I don't know that there are many hidden dangers in our own homes, and I don't wait for them to be chaotic, but I told them first, no matter whether these forces are chaotic or not, they will all be extinct."

Sure enough, three days later, an article written by Chen Zhi circulated from the general's palace, and because of the sensitivity of its content, it was quickly printed on a large scale and flowed into all parties.

This article does not have a specific name, but because of its content, it is said by those who watch it to be "Chen's words", but this statement is not a strategy to speak, but a prediction.

"What do you mean by that?"

The family in Youzhou can be said to be the first batch of people to get this article, but after reading the words, they couldn't help but shake their heads.

"I didn't expect the general to be shrewd for so long, and now he is actually engaged in this set of proverbs, what is said to be in the chaos of Guanzhong, turn to the Buddha, and then decline, and say that after the Shi family, there will be self-chaos, and his nephew will kill on a large scale, and also said that in the middle of Jiangzuo, the Wang family will be in chaos, and there are many family disputes, faintly reflecting the words of Li Dai Taozhuang, what he said, it is too appalling, and it is impossible at all."

The elders of the Lu family couldn't stop shaking their heads when they looked at it.

Even Lu Zhi, who admired the Chen family very much before, couldn't help frowning when he looked at the article.

It turns out that this article is not like the previous Chen's articles or writings, it is not a profound truth, let alone a practical technique, but a prediction, just a statement of prediction, just about the fate of the rest of the forces, how it will decline in the end, and the content involved in it is still taboo, faintly reflecting the influence of the family, no wonder a few old people of the Lu family have such an attitude.

"I'm still too anxious, forcibly promoting the imperial examination, and now other forces have seen the truth, and it will end a little badly all of a sudden, and even mess up, in order to calm people's hearts, I don't take the initiative to abolish the imperial examination, but slander other forces."

"Yes, don't say anything else, let's just say that Guanzhong and Jiangzuo have the name of orthodoxy, even if the family is powerful, how can they do rebellious things? What's more, it's Langya Wang's family? I heard that the reason why the king of Langya was able to gain a firm foothold in Jiangzuo was because of the stable situation of the Wang brothers, one article and one martial arts, it can be seen that he is a loyal man, where will there be hidden dangers? ”

"But at present, the foundation of this Youzhou is still thick, enough for him to toss, but shouldn't our Lu clan also prepare early, but fortunately, there is a way out when there is an emergency?"

"I want to make preparations, but the General's Mansion attaches great importance to this aspect, and we still have to think long-term, not in a hurry."

Listening to the old man and I said word by word, Lu Zhi did not refute it, but was thinking about these things, whether they were really feasible, and whether they really had to be prepared.

Not to mention the family in Youzhou, but said that with the spread of the news, several families involved also got the news one after another, and when they saw the full text of the article, they couldn't help laughing, thinking that this was simply ridiculous and arrogant, so they all thought it was Chen's arrogant words.

Subsequently, public opinion under these forces began to build momentum, refuting this article sentence by sentence, and finally extended to Chen Zhi, and began to say that he was mediocre, arrogant, and arrogant.

When the news came back to Youzhou, the bureaucrats under it were extremely angry, especially Tong Hai and others who had information, and they even found Chen Zhi's vague advice.

Chen Zhi said with a smile: "The article has been sent out, where can I get it back, but you don't have to worry, the power of this article is not today, you see that I talked about many forces above, as long as one of them develops according to what I said, then the other forces will not be able to live in peace, and mutual suspicion is light......"

When Tong Hai heard this, his eyes lit up, and he felt that he understood Chen Zhi's intentions, so he said: "I see, the general is a plan, as long as something happens to one of them, the other families will have to worry about it coming true, and when the time comes, they will be suspicious of each other, maybe they didn't rebel, but in the end they were all forced to rebel." ”

Chen Zhi smiled and said nothing, he naturally wouldn't tell this subordinate that this move was a conspiracy, but it was not to force the forces of all parties to have internal strife, but because the relevant people of those forces, even if they knew that the development would be as they said, they would still develop like this.

As for the reason, it is all because of human nature.

It's just that Tong Hai said, but he was a little puzzled and said: "Lord, if you use the power of the Xuanjia Army, now you have two states and grasslands, and you can cultivate for a few years, you can help the world and mix the Yuan Heaven...... Well, to revitalize the imperial court, why do you still want to do this? ”

"This is a move to attack the heart, the soldier can get mountains and rivers, not lucky, because of its many evil, the reputation of attacking the heart can not last long, because of the changeable people, the imperial examination is a system, the direction of the fundamental policy, not because of the change of dynasty and change."

Chen Zhi's words, Tong Hai was difficult to understand, but he also knew that Chen Zhi had a plan, so he no longer worried.
