In the past, Cao ** saw Xun Yu for the first time, drank on the couch, talked freely all night, Cao ** Dayue, and said: "My son's room is also." "Tonight, Huan Wen and Chen ** talked about it, and it was also a great joy, Chen Shangpin Hanshi**'s seven things about governing the country and cheap Hanshi, deeply matched the meaning of Huan Wen, talked secretly for a long time, and the night ** was tireless——

The seven things that Chen **zhi said about the cheapness of governing the country are: First, Jiang Zuo's friends are similar, and the Qing Dynasty is boiling. It is advisable to suppress exaggeration, put an end to competition, and do not enable energy planting; Second, the household registration is withered and widowed, and it is not a county of the Han Dynasty. The bureaucratic system is redundant, and people are superfluous. It is advisable to merge officials and provincial duties, so that each of them can fulfill his duties; Third, the maintenance of the machine cannot be stopped, and the regular copywriting should be limited; Fourth, it is advisable to show the body of the young and the old, and reward the loyal officials; Fifth, praise and depreciation, rewards and punishments, should be allowed; Sixth, it is advisable to follow the previous canons and study clearly; Seventh, large households have private homeless people, there are no natives, the state has lost taxes, and there is a shortage of laborers. Implement soil breaking, strictly prohibit the law, and do not allow private concealment -

Chen **zhi criticized the evils of the times, and had a way to save him, Huan Wen sighed and hated to see each other late, and leaned over to talk. Unconsciously, the drum has been three watches.

At this time, a woman outside the small door of the plain curtain said, "General, it's late at night—"

The voice was low and cold, but there was a strange charm, and Chen Zhi immediately remembered the woman he met when he traveled to Jiangling Lake with Lu Weirui that day. Saber Wu Ben, gorgeous carriage, and that very beautiful hand, at that time, the woman also said that she wanted to help Chen **zhi elope with Lu Weirui-

Chen ** said: "This woman must be Li Jingshu, the princess of Chenghan." He immediately said: "Da Sima, my subordinates take their leave." ”

Huan Wen was in a happy mood and said: "I see ** today, it's really like a fish in water, so why not talk about it for a long night." ”

Chen ** said: "Da Sima, my subordinates are also a little tired today. ”

Huan Wen saw that Chen **'s expression was radiant, and he was a little tired, so he turned around and greeted: "Tilt, come, see the talents under my account." ”

Chen **zhi sat on his knees and said in his heart: "Who is the tilt?" Didn't I pity Li Jingshu when I saw it? ”

The woman by the small door and behind the curtain did not show up and asked, "Is Xi joining the army?" "The only one who can talk to Huan Wen for so long is Xi Chao.

Huan Wen said: "No, it's Chen Zizhong of Jiang Zuowei Chen's **, the new expedition to Xipeng, you come to see you." ”

The Jin people don't have much respect for the concubines, there are noble guests at home, and the concubines have to come out to persuade them to drink.

But I heard the woman named Tilt say, "I don't see it." The footsteps were broken, and they departed.

Huan Wen obviously loved this woman very much, and he didn't think it was angry, and said to Chen **zhi: "The seven cheap things of governing the country that ** discussed tonight are one step further than Zhu Yingtai's "Zhongxing Three Strategies", you will write these cheap seven things tomorrow on my behalf, and I will go to the court to implement them. ”

Chen ** Zhidao: "The seven cheap things under my subordinates are inspired by Zhu Yingtai's "Three Strategies for Zhongxing", and expanded on its basis. Be sure to do your best, and then play the court, what does Da Sima think? ”

Chen **zhi This is to prevent himself from being too sharp, although Xi Chao appreciates him very much and has a good relationship with him, but Xi Chao is still very different from Xu Miao, Gu Kaizhi and others, Xi Chao is utilitarian, he can't let Xi Chao feel that he may replace his transcendent position in the Huanwen Military Mansion, otherwise he will be jealous of Xi Chao, and this cheap seven things will inevitably touch the vested interests of many people, he Chen **zhi doesn't want to be the first pawn for the time being-

Huan Wen is such a smart person, he immediately understood Chen **zhi's intentions, lifted his beard and smiled, and said: "It's okay, it's clear if you listen to it." "Personally sent Chen ** out of the atrium, but saw the general's mansion on duty Dou Tao hurriedly reported, saying that Wu Xing Shen Jin was hopeless in seeking officials, and led the crowd to leave the aunt in the afternoon, and before leaving, he came to the general's mansion to bid farewell to Huan Da Sima.

Huan Wen Zhanxin looked at it, looked at Chen **zhi, and said: "Shen Jin wants to cross the river to Huainan to rely on King Huanye-"

Chen's Zhidao: "I implore Da Sima to keep him." ”

Huan Wen pondered for a moment and said, "Chen Peng went to chase Shen Jin back on my behalf, and said that I promised to play for him and the court lifted his confinement from being a official." "Ordered the soldier on duty Cao to accompany Chen ** forward.

Chen ** said: "My subordinates want to ask Xie Youdu to chase Shen Jin back with me." ”

Huan Wen said: "Okay, come back and return to me." ”

Chen **zhi returned to the Phoenix Mountain residence, Xie Xuan was still waiting for him, and after listening to what Chen **zhi said, he immediately brought a few portable martial artists, and six soldiers on duty Cao and his sergeants, as well as Chen **zhi and Ran Sheng, rode out of the south gate of Guyi City, and chased west along Guyi Creek. Shen Jin and his entourage were preparing to cross the river to Huainan.

The last quarter of the moon is like a hook, the starlight is faint, the night air on the bank of the Guyu River is filled with the fragrance of grass and trees, and the horse's hooves are mixed to frighten the frogs.

The sergeant led the way, Chen **zhi and Xie Xuan chased out more than ten miles to the northwest, and caught up with Shen Jin and his more than 1,000 subordinates who were camping and resting on the shore of Jiangxin Island. The cheers were thunderous, and Shen Jin knew that this was because of Chen **'s Xie Xuan's strong recommendation, and he was very grateful to Chen and Xie, and immediately led the crowd back to his aunt.

Shen Jin is in his forties, medium in stature, strong in physique, resolute and resolute, and slightly depressed in his eyes. Riding horses in parallel with Chen **zhi and Xie Xuan, talking about the art of war, not many words, very insightful.

Shen Jin was very surprised by Chen **, the most famous of the younger generation of Shangjiang Zuo in the past two years, listening to Xie Penghan and Fu Bingcao's words, it was Chen **'s people who pleaded with Huan Da Sima to have such a result, Shen Jin and Chen **'s life were unknown, Chen's hand was willing to help each other so righteously, which was really valuable, and it was also a miracle to beat Huan Da Sima Kenna's words to Chen **, after all, Chen ** was the first to arrive in the military government, and the Qiantang Chen family had no foundation.

However, returning from the riverside to the outside of Guyi City, in just over half an hour, Shen Jin understood why Huan Wen valued Chen **zhi so much, Chen **zhi not only has excellent tolerance, but also has extraordinary insight, knows the situation in the north well, has far-sighted insights, Shen Jin is ashamed of himself. ()

At this time, the sky was already thin, Chen **zhi, Xie Xuan, and Shen Jinjing went to the General's Mansion to wait for Huan Da Sima, and Huan Wen ordered the waiter to pass the word, so that Chen **zhi and others would go to rest and see each other in the afternoon.

Xie Xuan and Shen Jin went to Chen **'s apartment together. The newly hired cook worked very hard, and hurriedly served the steaming bean porridge, Xie Xuan asked with a smile: "Zizhong feasts guests, and bean porridge is also done immediately, why not?" ”

Chen **zhi smiled: "It's the right time." ”

Shen Jin didn't understand what Xie Xuan and Chen ** meant. Xie Xuan told Shen Jin about the debate between Chen **zhi and Hao Long yesterday, and Shen Jin laughed. I also heard Xie Xuan relay Chen **zhi praised him in front of Huan Da Sima Shen Jin for his rare temperament, courage and resourcefulness, and talent as a general, Shen Jin, who was treated coldly because of the criminal family, suddenly burst into tears, but he didn't say any words of gratitude, and his heart echoed with the two sentences that Guan Zhong said thousands of years ago: "The parents of those who gave birth to me, and Chen **, the one who knows me." ”

In the afternoon, Chen **zhi and Xie Xuan and Shen Jin went to the general's mansion to meet Huan Da Sima, Wang Tanzhi was also present, Huan Wen comforted Shen Jin with a few words, and then ordered Xie Xuan to write on his behalf, and wrote to the court on his behalf, expressing Shen Jin's talent and center, requesting that Shen Jin be lifted from the imprisonment of Shi Jin, and Shen Jin made up for the long history of the seven-grade champion and helped the champion general Chen You to guard Luoyang.

Huan Wen's seal was rarely rejected by the imperial court. Huan Wen said that he wanted to say that the imperial court would use Shen Jin to make up for the title of champion Changshi, which was equivalent to having been granted, Shen Jin was overjoyed, and knelt down to thank him.

Huan Wen also asked Wang Tanzhi to resign from the post of Shangshushi, and would send an envoy to Jiankang to explain the matter to Sima Yu, the assistant political officer.

The next morning, Huan Wen led the civil and military subordinates to send the emperor Wang Tanzhi back to Jiankang, and said goodbye at the foot of Baiyun Mountain, Wang Tanzhi will also enter the West Mansion in June, and then "Shengde Peerless Xi Guest, Jiangdong Dubu Wang Wendu" will be attributed to Huan Wen's account, and there are Yuan Hong, Zhou Chu, Xie Xuan, Chen ** of all people, Xifu can be described as full of talents.

There is no war in Xifu, and the staff is also idle, Guxiao City is by no means the scene of military discipline rectification and daily training as imagined by outsiders, the military staff does not directly lead the troops, they are just responsible to Huan Wen, staff officers and military affairs, and preparation consultants to deal with it, as for the training of the soldiers, there are generals at all levels to carry out, and some of the staff who have passed are tantamount to messing around in the military government-

"The World Says New Words" records that Wang Huizhi's cavalry general Huan Chong's cavalry joined the army, and Huan Chong saw that Wang Huizhi had nothing to do all day, so he reminded him: "Qing has been in the mansion for a long time, and he should also take care of the ministry." Wang Huizhi didn't answer, looked at the sky with his eyes, put his hand against his cheek, and said leisurely: "The West Mountain is coming, so it is refreshing." Huan Chong asked him: "What is the secretary?" He replied: "I don't know what to do, but when I see a horse coming, it seems to be Ma Cao." ”——

didn't even know what his responsibilities were, Huan Chong was very helpless, and asked, "How many horses does the official have?" He replied, "If you don't ask about the horses, how can you know the number?" Then he asked, "How many horses have died lately?" He replied: "I don't know life, I don't know death?" ”

Such staff can only appear in the Wei and Jin dynasties, which pay attention to grace and elegance, and in any era, they are not beaten and do not know how to die.

Of course, Xie Xuan and Chen **zhi are not as leisurely as Wang Huizhi, Huan Wen has to summon the two of them into the house every day to discuss matters, and he is extremely serious to both of them, saying: "Xie Peng will have a cane festival in his forties last year, and Chen Peng should be a black-headed man, and he is not easy to cold." "That is to say, Xie Xuanshi was able to become a general who was the master of the expedition when he was forty years old, and Chen Da**'s hair was not gray, and he was ranked as the third duke.

Chen **zhi understood in his heart that although Huan Wen put him and Xie Xuan alongside, he actually had an extraneous meaning. Xie Xuan's family background is illustrious, and his own talent is outstanding. It is not difficult to support the cane festival at the age of forty, and historically, Xie Xuan is already the commander of the Beifu Army before the age of forty, and he Chen **zhi is completely self-made, if you want to rank as the third prince before your hair is white, there is no other way except for the change of dynasty and Huan Wen as the emperor.
