Chapter 50: State Pastoral System, the Truth Revealed
Chen Lin rushed back to Hanzhong County non-stop, in the Nanzheng County Mansion, Chen Lin and Jia Xu Yan Pu were deliberating, and the first person to speak was not Jia Xu but Yan Pu, only to see Yan Pu change his previous image at this time, and said with a very angry look: "Lord, these local scholars are too much. "It turned out that Yan Pu, the purpose of Chen Lin's entry into Shu, did not know, after Chen Lin entered Shu, some scholars in Hanzhong were really ready to move, and they were embarrassed everywhere by Chen Lin's number one Minister of the Interior, so Yan Pu was so angry. Jia Xu and Chen Lin looked at each other, and Chen Lin smiled and said: "Zhizhi is a little restless, Zhizhi is in charge of the government affairs of the eleven counties in Hanzhong, and he must not hurt his body." Although Chen Lin still didn't know what the scholars in Hanzhong had done during his absence, seeing that Yan Pu, who had always been honest, was angry like this, it could be seen that the scholars in Hanzhong were not less tossed. But Chen Lin's main attention has now shifted to Shuzhong, and this matter involving Luoyang makes Chen Lin angry, and he wants to know what is going on.
Jia Xu and Yan Pu walked out of the gate of the county mansion together, and Jia Xu said to Yan Pu: "Lord Juncheng, the lord has only been away from Hanzhong for so long, and the scholars in Hanzhong are so noisy, what do you think?" Yan Pu glanced back at Jia Xu and said, "Lord Jia, I am fortunate to meet the lord and entrust him with a heavy responsibility, if anyone is unfavorable to the lord, he will not tolerate it." Jia Xu smiled: "Lord Juncheng is loyal and righteous, Jia admires, in fact, the lord entered Shu this time, although it is clearly said, but he thinks that the lord is also wary of the scholars in Hanzhong, and it is said that the camp of Gao Duwei is frequently transferred." Jia Xu didn't tell Yan Pu that this was his and Chen Lin's plan, so as not to make Yan Pu feel that he had been left out in the cold, as Chen Lin's two important ministers, Jia Xu hoped that Yan Pu could clearly see through the current attitude of the Han sergeant clan towards Chen Lin, lest Yan Pu would not know about the plot, which would be extremely detrimental to Chen Lin's rule.
Then everything returned to calm, Chen Lin returned to Hanzhong, and the Han sergeant clan was divided again, and Liu Hua, who had attracted the most attention in Hanzhong in the past six months, also began to reappear, and Chen Lin personally arranged a family affair for him, fortunately, Liu Hua is not very old, and Liu Hua may not be able to have a future in a year or two. For Chen Lin's concern, Liu Hua saw it in his heart, and was even more loyal to Chen Lin, although Liu Hua was a local scholar in Hanzhong, he resolutely became Chen Lin's closest faction at this time. The original county magistrate of Baozhong County was also reinstated, but the county lieutenant was directly transferred to the army, although Liu Hua's case was earth-shattering, but in the end, not many people were implicated because of it. This is also a signal and concession given by Chen Lin, hoping that the scholars in Hanzhong can understand Chen Lin's intentions. Things are really the same as Chen Lin thought, Chen Lin's forgiveness and Chen Ze and Chen Chen's relatives are all local scholars in Hanzhong, and they help in the middle, and the Han sergeant clan has also eased Chen Lin.
Zhongping four years have passed, the time has crossed to the five years of Zhongping (188 years), the year is the most happy time, Chen Lin and his family are getting together, the eldest son Chen Bin is three years old, Zhang's belly is bulging again, seeing that the second child is about to fall to the ground, Chen Ze Chen to also start a family and open their own mansion, this day the family gathered in Chen Lin's house, happy Chen Li and his wife couldn't keep their mouths together. In Chen Lin's study, only the three brothers of the Chen family were included, and outside the door were Huang Yan and Zhou Cang.
Chen Lin retracted the happy smile on his face just now, and was listening to Chen Ze's words, Chen Ze said: "Brother, it has been a year since the establishment of the Black Shadow, and now in addition to Mr. Wenhe's shadow, the Black Shadow is an unknown secret agent of my Chen family. If Jia Xu heard this, he would definitely be surprised, it turned out that Chen Lin not only asked Jia Xu to form Wuying, but also let the Chen family brothers form a black shadow, which was even more mysterious and powerful than Wuying. Chen Lin felt that although Jia Xu was a confidant, he was not the Chen family after all, only the Chen family's own brothers were the most reliable, so with the appearance of the black shadow, Chen Lin did not let Chen Ze or Chen Zhi control it alone, but let the two of them take charge together, which shows that Chen Lin has now won the secret of the master.
After Chen Ze finished speaking, Chen Zhi hurriedly added: "At the same time, I also discovered a big secret, that is, it has recently been rumored in Luoyang that Yizhou has the spirit of the Son of Heaven, and Liu Taichang has recently suggested to the Han Emperor that the state pastoral system be used to ban the Department of Assassination. As soon as Chen finished speaking, Chen Lin laughed and said, "So-and-so understands, so-and-so finally understands." At the same time, he gritted his teeth and his face was full of fierce light. Chen Zhi also said: "I'm afraid that this series of things was done by this Taichang adult, in order to come to Yizhou to divide one side." "Things are basically guessed by the Chen Lin brothers, all of this is done by Liu Yan, in order to make Yizhou unstable, and even get rid of the assassin Shi Jian first, and then Liu Yan used this as an excuse to preside over in Yizhou, Emperor Ling must believe in Liu's clan more than others, it can be said that Shuzhong Yellow Turban, Zhang Lu, or Bashanyi, all have Liu Yan's hands and feet in it.
Chen Lin expected that after Liu Yan made a ghost, he also counted Liu Hua's bloody case on Liu Yan's head, so Chen Lin hated Liu Yan very much at this time, and said to Chen Zhi: "The black shadow will hint at the clue to Wuying, Mo showed his hands and feet, let Wen He know about it, and a certain person can make a response openly." ”
Chen Ze said: "Now Liu Taichang's multi-ploy has failed, only the Yellow Turban in Shu is left, and now the remnants of the Yellow Turban are gathered in Mianzhu, it is reported that the scholars in Shu seem to have discovered the plan of Lord Taichang, but the scholars in Shu have made some kind of agreement with Taichang. Chen Lin frowned, he didn't expect Jia Long to hide something from Chen Lin in the end, although he couldn't figure it out for a while, but after all, Chen Lin felt uncomfortable, and said: "Well, this also lets Wen He know that Wen He will definitely be able to give an explanation in a few days, and our wisdom is far inferior to Wen He." ”
On the seventh day, Jia Xu in the Nanzheng County Mansion said to Chen Lin: "My lord, there is no shadow to report, and the affairs of Yizhou are clear." Then as soon as he talked about the matter, Chen Lin pretended not to know and was surprised: "Wenhe, this, Taichang is a member of the Liu family, this, it doesn't make sense." ”
Jia Xu: "My lord, based on all the information, I think that it is Liu Taichang's means, if it is not bad as expected, within March, the yellow turban in Shuzhong will rise, and within half a year, Liu Taichang will come to Yizhou." The Shu Sergeant Clan suffered greatly from the explosion of the Assassin History, but I am afraid that they have secretly prepared to meet Liu Taichang, and the Yellow Turban in Shu is only afraid that Liu Taichang and the Shu Sergeant Clan did it deliberately, all in order to drive the Assassin Shi to welcome Liu Taichang. The more Jia Xu said that Chen Lin felt justified, but he took the lives of countless innocent people to do things, which made Chen Lin have some resentment towards Jia Long and others, who had a good impression.
Chen Lin was extremely unwilling, and said, "Could it be that hundreds of people in the Liu Mansion have become victims of one of their failed schemes? Chen Lin always wanted to avenge Liu Hua, but Jia Xu was helpless: "Lord, there is no way to talk about this matter, even if it is a confrontation with the imperial court, does the imperial court believe in the lord or a respected minister surnamed Liu?" Chen Lin thought about it, it seems that Liu Hua can only suffer a dumb loss in this matter, at most he can sprinkle anger on the yellow scarf as a tool, what else can he do.
Jia Xu looked down and saw Chen Lin's unwilling look, and the trick in his heart came again, and he pretended not to care and said to Chen Lin: "Lord, if you have to ask for justice, it is better to start with the yellow scarf in Shuzhong." Chen Lin was excited, and hurriedly asked, Jia Xu saw Chen Lin take the bait, and said with bad intentions: "Xu has said before, the yellow turban in Shuzhong will be resurrected today, if the lord takes the opportunity to send troops to Shuzhong, as long as the lord is in Shuzhong, he can let Liu Taichang enter Shu as much as possible to create obstacles, and even prevent him from entering Shuzhong, but I don't know if the lord has the heart to offend this Liu clan." Jia Xu couldn't wait for more excuses for Chen Lin to lead troops into Shu, and even forcibly occupy Shu.
Chen Lin is no longer the stunned person who didn't understand anything back then, but Chen Lin can always pretend to be stupid at critical times, which will Chen Lin first appear in his mind is the strategy that Grandpa said back then, seeing that Jia Xu has hinted at this from time to time over the years, Chen Lin knows that Jia Xu recognizes Grandpa's strategy very much, and begins to act for it. But Chen Lin wanted to make trouble for Liu Yan at this time more than to forcibly occupy Shuzhong, and after weighing, Chen Lin didn't think so much anymore, and said: "Wenhe's intention is to lead troops into Shu in the name of suppressing bandits when the Yellow Turban in Shuzhong is resurrected?" ”
Jia Xu said with a smile: "Exactly, the lord has a close relationship with Shu, as long as the lord teacher or the same brother invites the lord to enter Shu when the yellow scarf rises, then the lord can enter Shu openly, and no one can gossip." Chen Lin hated Liu Yan, so he said: "Okay, but now it seems that Jia Zhan and others also have something to hide, presumably they will not invite a certain person to Shu, it seems that they can only start from the Zitong Du family." "Chen Lin is all after deep thought, Zitong soldiers are only hundreds, as long as the yellow turban attacks, Zitong will definitely not be able to resist, Du Wei in order to maintain the foundation of the Du family, presumably very happy that someone can help, no matter who this person is.
Jia Xu is a rare resourceful man in the Han Dynasty, and said to Chen Lin with a smile: "Xu, you must let the remnants of the Yellow Turban go to Zitong County." After speaking, they looked at Chen Lin, and the two laughed.
After Chen Lin asked Jia Xu to go out to make arrangements, he sighed again in his heart, and looked a little regretful, Chen Lin was originally a person who was loyal to the monarch and served the country, but now he always felt that he was fooling him for his own selfishness. Now that Xiliang's rebellion has changed leaders, it is led by Han Sui and Ma Teng, and the entire Xiliang is no longer under the control of the imperial court, Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song are now strictly guarding against Sanfu, hoping to block Xiliang's soldiers from attacking Sanfu. Some officials in the Central Plains frequently stopped paying tribute to the imperial court on the grounds of natural disasters, but shouted all day long to ask the imperial court for money and food, and the country would not be a country. Chen Lin felt a sadness in his heart, and remembered that the Taichang Lord, who was a clan relative, was going to plot against the Liu family, and Chen Lin was angry again.
Chen Lin secretly prepared to enter Shu in Hanzhong, and Mianzhu, who was far away in Shu, was no longer at peace.
