On the 21st day of July in the first year of Longhe, Shangshutai proposed an edict and Zhongshu Province issued an edict to begin to inspect the land in all prefectures and counties across the country. Strict legal prohibition, from Gengxu to Wuzi day within 40 days, all prefectures, counties and counties self-inspection, for some families who are prohibited from hiding household registration, and the county magistrates are unable to deal with it, can be reported to the Department of Land Judgment, which will be strictly handled.

The edict was delivered expeditiously by 400 miles of fast horses, and it could be transmitted throughout the states and counties of the Eastern Jin Dynasty within 10 days.

According to the system, Tuduanhuai is located in Jiankang, subordinate to Situ Mansion, and the Tuduan Division has a procuratorial office, which is stationed in Liang, Yi, Jing, Yang, Jiang, and Hunan six prefectures.

There are nominally twenty-three states in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but the Sizhou in the Luoyang area and the Yanzhou in the () Qiu area have recovered and fallen several times, and the Sizhou Assassin has never arrived, and these two states will naturally not have any land breaks, in addition to Qiaojizhou, Qiaoyouzhou, Qiaojunzhou, Qiaoyongzhou, Qiaoqinzhou, Qiaoqingzhou, and Qiaoxuzhou. As well as East Qinzhou and North Qinzhou, the Han Dynasty of Kyushu is basically concentrated in the Jingkou and Jinling areas of Yangzhou, and there is no actual jurisdiction, but Wang Dao set up to express that he did not forget to restore his homeland and resettle the displaced people. Naturally, there is no need to exist, so there is no soil division in this Kyushu-

The rest are Yuzhou, Liangzhou, Yizhou, Ningzhou, Beiqingzhou, Beixuzhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Jiangzhou, Xiangzhou, Jiaozhou and Guangzhou, among them, Beiqingzhou and Beixuzhou are only part of Yuanzhou, and they are the places of war, and there is Yuzhou across the north and south of the Huai River, because there are a large number of self-commanded, disobedient to the jurisdiction of the imperial court of the existence of the exile marshal, these two states can not be broken. Jiaozhou, Ningzhou, and Guangzhou are remote, and few displaced people arrive, so these three states are not suitable for land breaking, and the focus of this land break is only Liangzhou, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Jiangzhou, and Xiangzhou.

After the order is issued, the procuratorial offices of each state will soon have documents to be sent to the Tu Duan Division, so Xie Xuan, Chen Caozhi, and Xie Daoyun must return to Jiankang at the end of this month, and Huan Wen ordered Nie Qiao, the governor of the Qu Division, to lead three hundred elite infantry soldiers into the capital together, and these three hundred people will be used as law enforcement sergeants of the Tu Duan Division, obeying Xie Xuan and Chen Caozhi, and Ran Sheng and the ten sergeants he led are also among the three hundred.

On July 22, just as Xie Xuan, Chen Caozhi, and Xie Daoyun were preparing to leave for Jiankang, news came from Duzhong that Lu Shi, the fifth soldier, did not agree to Chen Caozhi's entry into the Tuduansi.

Huan Wen urgently summoned Xie Xuan and Chen Caozhi to the General's Mansion for deliberations, and Huan Wen asked Xie Xuan: "Lu Shi refuses to re-enter the Tuduan Division, what is your suggestion for this?" ”

Xie Xuan said: "It is unwise for the mainland Shangshu to put personal grievances above the political affairs of the imperial court and hinder the way for the virtuous to serve the country. ”

Huan Wen was very satisfied with Xie Xuan's statement, originally Xie Xuan, like Xie An, was silent about these things after entering the military government, and Xie Xuan would handle the things that Huan Wen ordered to go on, Xie Xuan would handle it very well, but Xie Xuan rarely offended the Sanwu clan for the benefit of the Huan family, and now, Xie Xuan clearly supports Chen Caozhi's entry into the Tu Division, which is naturally because of Chen Caozhi's relationship, Huan Wen wants to use Chen Caozhi to balance the contradictions between the northern and southern scholars, win over a group, and disintegrate a group, is this the first effect?

Huan Wen said: "Chen Peng is a talent in my Western Mansion, what reason does Lu Shi have to refuse him to enter the Tu Division!" "Immediately wrote letters to Sima Yu, the king of Huiji, and Xi Chao, the servant of the Chinese book, respectively, recommending Chen Caozhi to serve as the deputy of the Tu Xuan Division, whose status is equivalent to Xie Xuan, Huan Wen wants Lu Shi to understand who is the one in charge!

Huan Wen said: "Xie Peng still set off today. Chen Peng waited for a few days, waiting for the reply and edict of King Huiji. ”

Chen Caozhi sent Xie Xuan and Xie Daoyun out of the north gate to return to the capital, Xie Xuan originally wanted to go back to Jiankang alone, and asked his sister Xie Daoyun to go with Chen Caozhi a few days later, but Xie Daoyun still decided to go first with his younger brother Xie Xuan, because she heard Xiaochan say to her maid Liu Xuan that Chen Caozhi was going to meet Lu Weirui in Xinting.

At the foot of Bai Lai Mountain, Chen Caozhi waved goodbye to Xie Daoyun and Xie Xuan's sisters, except for Ran Sheng and his ten sergeants who stayed, the remaining three hundred sergeants were led by Nie Qiao, the governor of the tribe, to follow Xie Xuan into the capital.

Xie Daoyun's ox cart fell behind, she looked out from behind, Chen Caozhi led the jujube red horse and stood motionless in the sun, like a sculpture, and suddenly raised his hand to this side, at this time, only to hear the horse followed by the car Ah Ji said: "Zizhong wants to marry the Lu girl, it's difficult!" After a while, he asked again: "Do you think that Cousin Zhu can conclude a good relationship with the Lu family's daughter?" ”

Xie Daoyun said one word: "Yes." ”

Xie Xuan was slightly surprised, and didn't understand why Sister was so sure, and said: "What the Lu family girl hasn't seen is a good match, I thought-"

Xie Daoyun didn't understand his younger brother Xie Xuan's thoughts, and interrupted: "Ah Ji, don't talk about bigamy, as close friends, you and I should do our best to help Zizhong and the Lu girl get married." ”

Xie Daoyun's words were like a quick knife cutting mess, and it was extremely simple, Xie Xuan was speechless, and he couldn't guess his sister's mind for a while, so he heard the elder sister in the carriage said again: "Ah Ji, teach me to ride a horse, this way back to Jiankang, I should be able to learn some simple riding skills." ”

……

Chen Caozhi is the difference between Xie Daoyun and Xie Xuan's sisters, and Ran Sheng rode back to Guyu City, Ran Sheng hated and said: "Brother, that Lu Shi deceived people too much, not only refused to let Lu Xiaoniang marry you, but also suppressed you in his career, which is really infuriating!" He said: "Little lady Lu is not his daughter of Lu Shi, can Lu Shi manage it!" ”

Chen Caozhi said: "Whether in marriage or career, Lu Shi can't stop me, I have to marry Wei Rui Niangzi, Lu Shi treats me like this, and I don't have to worry too much." ”

Ran Sheng clenched his fists and said: "Yes, you must marry Lu Xiaoniang and kill Lu Shi's father and son." ”

In the next few days, Chen Caozhi waited for news from the capital. Lu Shi was still thinking about excluding him at this time, it can really be said that he was short-sighted, he was recommended by Huan Wen, and Sima Yu, the king of Huiji, was also happy to see him participate in the government affairs, Lu Shi was not only stubborn and did not let Wei Rui marry him, but what else could he do!

The reason why Huan Wen agreed to Lu Shi to preside over the Tu Duan Division, in fact, is a major test for Lu Shi, the leader of the Sanwu clan, the so-called cusp of the storm is also, Lu Shi does not know how to be cautious, but in the appointment of Chen Caozhi in such a trivial matter with Huan Wen and Huan Wen to restrain the elbow, Chen Caozhi is Huan Wen's strength to reuse the person, Lu Shi's opposition is naturally invalid, and Lu Shi is bound to be indignant, and he will use his power and prestige to obstruct the smooth progress of the Great Tu Break in the Tu Xuan Register, which is a direct confrontation with Huan Wen, Huan Wen has long wanted to find Lu Shi's provocation, and he is worried that he has no chance, Lu Shi is self-defeating——

On the afternoon of July 26, Huan Wen sent someone to invite Chen Caozhi to the General's Mansion, Chen Caozhi thought that there was news in the capital, and only then did he know that Princess Nankang had come to Gu Yu by boat from Jingzhou, and Huan Wen ordered Chen Caozhi to go to the river with Huan Xi and Huan Shiqian to meet him.

The general's carriage and horses flowed out of the west gate of Guyu City, Chen Caozhi took Ran Sheng on horseback to accompany him, and saw that Li Jingshu's gorgeous carriage was also in the convoy, and Huan Xi rode a yellow horse to follow Li Jingshu's carriage.

Chen Caozhi said: "Li Jingshu also went to greet her, the relationship between this wife and concubine is not bad." "I remembered that Princess Nankang learned that Huan Wen favored Li Jingshu, and she was jealous, and went with her servants with knives and sticks, and saw the beautiful Li Jingshu. Listening to her mournful words, Princess Nankang changed her mind and accepted Li Jingshu, which is of course the unique style of Wei and Jin women, and I am afraid that it is also because Princess Nankang does not dare to fall out with Huan Wen, and this is because she wants to be quiet and good at flattery.

An official from the General's Mansion came over and said to Chen Caozhi: "Chen Peng, Mrs. Li invites you to talk in front of the car." ”

Chen Caozhi saw that Huan Xi was also by Li Jingshu's carriage. He urged the horse over, made a gesture to Huanxi, and listened to Li Jingshu in the carriage say: "Master Chen, when will you enter the capital?" Li Jingshu's voice was still cold, but there was a strange charm.

Chen Caozhi replied: "We must leave before the end of the month." ”

Li Jingshu said: "The recorder music that Master Chen taught me is really difficult, Jingshu has practiced for many days, but it still can't get out of tune, so I am ashamed, I implore Master Chen to instruct the disciples again before going to Jiankang." ”

Chen Cao's head: "It's okay, then tomorrow." ”

When Chen Caozhi and Li Jingshu were talking, Huan Xi watched coldly, and when Chen Caozhi beat the horse and overtook Li Jingshu's carriage, he nodded to Huan Xi. Huan Hee is even colder than ever.

Chen Caozhi caught up with Huan Shiqian, and walked side by side with Huan Shiqian, Huan Shiqian also respected Chen Caozhi, looking at Ran Sheng who was following behind Chen Caozhi, Huan Shiqian smiled: "Chen Peng, Brother Ling is really a general." The daily drill is hard, and the tens of thousands of soldiers in Zicheng are all respectful, and they have to copy the military book every night, and ask him, saying that Chen Peng ordered him to do this. ”

Chen Caozhi said: "Xiao Sheng has loved to dance with guns and sticks since he was a child, and when he heard the Jiangbei refugees talk about Hu Lu's invasion of my hometown in the Central Plains, he was angry and determined to join the army to kill the enemy. ”

Huan Shi said really: "In the past two months, Chen Zisheng's martial arts can be described as advancing by leaps and bounds, whether archery and riding are the best in the army, a horse lance, no one can beat me, the day before yesterday and I tried to practice, the strength was better than me, but the experience and skills are slightly inferior, next year with me to Shouchun experience, as soon as possible to become a single award." ”

Chen Caozhi and Huan Shiqian talked all the way, and when they came to the mouth of the Guxiao River, it was about the end of Shen, the red sun fell in the west, the floating light jumped gold, and the two fast horses galloped on the riverside, reporting that the boat of Princess Nankang was about to arrive. At this time, Chen Caozhi knew that Princess Nankang was accompanied by the county lord of Xin'an and Huan Wen's fourth son, Huan Bao, and the fifth son, Huan Wei.

When Chen Caozhi heard that the county lord of Xin'an was coming, he said in his heart: "There is another person who can't be provoked, fortunately, I will leave my aunt in a few days, otherwise it will be embarrassing."
