Chapter 8: One Singing and One Harmony

As soon as Chen Tai woke up, a soldier walked in.

The soldier's face was very ugly, and he lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Chen Tai changed into his clothes, "What's wrong?" ”

"Duke Chen, the prince left this morning."

"Oh? Leave? Where did it go? ”

"Went to Jianye him"

Chen Tai said unhappily: "It's okay to say it directly! ”

The soldier said hesitantly: "The prince said that he would not walk with the pampered and the like. ”

"How can that be?!"

Chen Tai was furious, "I buried the bones along the road, this is a virtue, why is it so unbearable in his mouth?" Take my pen and paper! I have to go up to the table to impeach this man! ”

And at this moment, Wang Jing was already on the way.

His face was full of disdain, and he said to the left and right: "That Chen Tai just relied on the protection of his father and ancestors, and he sat in his current position, when I had dinner with him yesterday, his attitude was very arrogant, and he talked about his father many times, which is obviously to despise me, thinking that my background is not as good as his!" ”

"I was ordered by His Majesty to come to Wu to supervise, even that Chen Tai, I can also be impeached!"

"Since he can't endure hardship, he has to move forward slowly, so it's better for us to reach Jianye first."

"When I get to Jianye, I also have something to say to Your Majesty."

Both of them brought a group of officials with them on this trip, and most of the officials brought by Chen Tai were Shang Shulang and Zuo officials brought out from Santai.

These are all practical talents who can help Chen Tai govern the local area.

Most of the ministers brought by Wang Jing were selected from many officials such as Cao Chao's Yu Linlang and Alternate Wailang.

To put it simply, Wang Jing's group of people were sent by the emperor's henchmen to supervise, similar to the prison army, each of them did not have a high status, but they had great power because of the emperor's favor.

What's interesting is that among the people brought by Wang Jing, all of them are children of big clans.

After all, which young man who can serve as a Lang official next to Cao Chao will have a low background?

But they also have special respect for Wang Jing, just because Wang Jing is more favored by the emperor.

To what extent did Cao Chao's love for Wang Jing reach?

Once, Cao Chao was eating, and suddenly, he said to the left and right: This meat is very beautiful, send it to Wang Si's office quickly.

The attendants were stunned, and rushed away with the meat given by the emperor, and sent the meat to Wang Jing's hands, and Wang Jing ate it all on the spot.

On another occasion, when Wang Jing interrogated a corrupt official, he accidentally scared people to death, and some officials from the Imperial Historical Observatory impeached Wang Jing, accusing Wang Jing of tyranny and forcing prisoners to be killed by corporal torture.

Cao Chao was very angry and asked rhetorically: Should you treat prisoners who commit crimes with the same filial piety as you treat your father?

Feeling humiliated, the official immediately resigned and went home, almost committing suicide.

Another time, Zongzheng Cao Yan drove out and met Wang Jing's car, he refused to give way, so he stood on the carriage and shouted: My father deserves to enjoy the ancestral temple, and his son will not give way to the son of a peasant!

When Cao Chao learned of this, he sent someone to break Cao Yan's carriage, and Cao Yan went to Wang Jing's mansion to plead guilty on the same day.

Someone in the capital said in private: The important ministers in the temple of Emperor Taizu are not as good as the favored ministers in His Majesty's palace today.

The reason why Cao Chao is so partial to Wang Jing is also because of his loyalty.

But it is not a good thing to be favored by the emperor, just like Zhang Hua, his reputation was originally very good, but because the emperor liked him too much, he was named a favored minister.

This is not to praise him, but to ridicule his position by relying on flattery, just like Wu people mocking Wan Yu.

Wang Jing kept moving towards Jianye.

It took less than six days to arrive at the foot of Jianye City.

Wang Ji was leading the officials in the city to greet him at this moment.

At this moment, most of the local officials in Wu are still served by the original Wu people.

There is no way for Great Wei to replace them all in a short period of time.

What's more, there are indeed good capable people among these people.

When Wang Jing stepped down from the carriage, the Wu people looked at each other and did not speak.

Wang Ji hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Meet the Prince!"

Strictly speaking, the official positions of Wang Jing and Chen Tai do not have an accurate grade, which is completely made up temporarily to deal with the current situation.

This kind of situation often happens at this moment, the three kingdoms will do this, and the best thing is Wu Guo, and the official positions they make up are called more than one!

Wang Jing glanced at Wang Ji at this moment, and then looked at the Wu people in the distance.

"Who are those? Why don't you come and meet us?! ”

Wang Jing asked.

Wang Ji was a little confused.

Unlike Chen Tai, Wang Ji has a friendship with Wang Jing, when Wang Ji served as the assassin of Jingzhou, Wang Jing served as Jiangxia Taishou.

Wang Ji knows a lot about this person's personality and everything.

Not long ago, the two exchanged letters, and Wang Jing was very normal, why did he become so arrogant today?

Wang Ji looked at the group of frightened Wu people, and suddenly woke up in his heart.

He looked at those people helplessly, "Why don't you come to see them?" ”

These people hurried to meet them.

Those who stayed with Wang Ji were those who were not qualified to go to Luoyang to see the emperor.

They are usually younger and have lower official positions, but the fact that they are here shows that they are still from a good background.

Most of them are the backbone of some big clans.

The leader has already gone to Luoyang, so they will stay here and follow Wang Ji, only hoping that Dawei's fast knife will not fall on their heads.

During this time, they got along with Wang Ji and found that this general was actually very talkative.

It's not the kind of rude martial artist.

But the newcomer, why does it look a little scary?

Wang Jing accepted their visit, and then said to Wang Ji: "Come with me!" ”

He didn't pay attention to these people at all, and directly pulled Wang Ji into the car and left here in a hurry.

Everyone looked at each other.

"Why is this prince so rude?"

Someone asked.

At this moment, someone who knew replied: "This duke was originally the son of a farmer, but because he was favored by His Majesty, he served as Jiuqing and became an important minister."

Those people suddenly realized, and some disgust appeared on their faces.

"No wonder so"

And at this moment, sitting in the carriage, Wang Jing was explaining his behavior in a low voice, and Wang Ji interrupted him without waiting for him to finish.

"The prince doesn't need to explain, I understand the truth of this, I just went to the temple earlier, asking to deal with the problem of arable land here."

Now, Wang Jing is not worried about the situation here at all.

There are only three people in total, and all three of them support doing something to the big clan, so the big clan here won't have to run.

If it is said to deal with the big clans of the Wei State, there may still be some problems, each big clan has a scene character, and the emperor can't pull his face to clean them up.

And these ministers are not going to do it to themselves.

But this Wu clan, that's different.

They have lost their protection, and Great Wei doesn't care what big clan you are.

Wang Jing immediately said his thoughts, and Wang Ji listened very carefully.

After Wang Jing came to Jianye, Wang Ji immediately issued an order, asking all localities to thoroughly investigate whether there were still those who disobeyed the orders of the temple and did not disband the private soldiers of the family, whether there were still those who secretly hid armor and crossbows at home, and whether there were still those who hoarded grain and iron weapons in vain to rebel.

These three thorough investigations are more ruthless than the other.

Wang Ji, who was still very mild, suddenly gave such an order, and everyone could have thought that this must be the order of the king scripture.

At this moment, the big clans in Wu Land can be described as extremely panicked.

At the beginning, Biqiu Jian once went on a killing spree in Wudi, and his reason was that he was a private collector and a soldier.

And the Han's method of dealing with it is also very simple.

Just unload your armor and go to work in the farmland.

If you ask, it is a tenant, and it is definitely not a strong man, not a soldier.

Those few always squint because they are basking in the sun when they are plowing, the calluses on their hands are held by holding farm tools, and those legs are a little looped because they ride ploughing cattle all year round!

But at the moment, there are more things to be thoroughly investigated, and the situation is a little more complicated.

Armor and strong crossbows are a must-have for the big clan at the moment.

Both of these things have always been forbidden, swords and bows and arrows can be carried, but armor and crossbows are not allowed because they have no civilian value.

You people may go hunting with bows and arrows, you may have to slaughter with knives, and you can be considered a ritual weapon with a sword, but what are you using armor for? What do you do with a strong crossbow? Could it be that everything in the forest is covered with armor? Do you still need to use a strong crossbow to shoot through?

This had to be searched temporarily, and Jianye's clan was unlucky that day.

When Wang Ji's army poured into their mansion like jackals and began to search, they simply sat down on the ground.

As for hoarding food and iron tools, not to mention, isn't this the norm for the big clans?

Could it be that your Great Wei family doesn't hoard these? Don't they have armor and crossbows?

Those who were closer to Jianye were arrested one after another, and those who were a little farther away were better, because there were people who reported the news and had time to make preparations, such as transferring materials, hiding armor and other things, and so on.

Wang Jing's attitude is very resolute, and for these people who have rebellious ideas, don't worry too much, and behead them directly.

Just three days after he arrived in Jianye, he ordered the execution of more than 60 people, and many more awaited trial.

For a time, the entire Wu land was full of chickens and dogs, and even some people were ready to raise the banner of the Sun family again to oppose tyranny.

At this time, Chen Tai was late.

As soon as he arrived in Jianye, he was very angry and summoned Wang Jing and Wang Ji.

Many people saw him quarrel with Wang Jing, and Wang Jing left angrily.

Subsequently, Chen Tai hurriedly ordered the thorough investigation to be stopped, and at the same time ordered the release of those who had been captured.

Wu Ren was moved, and finally came to be a person.

But Wang Jing was not used to this, he found out that there were big clans who did not discuss the temple because of this matter, slandered the Son of Heaven, prepared the temple, and asked Wang Ji to send someone to arrest him again.

The struggle between Chen Tai and Wang Ji began in this way in the state of Wu.
