Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1063 The emperor is like a dragon, leaving the nest and heading west
Chen Zhi paid more attention to this news than the war in Pingzhou.

Ever since he noticed that the fate connection between himself and Luoyang had been shaken, Chen Zhi realized that the situation in the capital had changed, especially when the origami of the twelve zodiac signs had been damaged——

Although origami is extremely useful, its material is still paper. No matter how careful Chen Zhi is, damage is inevitable.

What's more important is that if ordinary paper is left unmoved for several years, it will turn yellow, wrinkled, or covered with a layer of dust at most. However, zodiac origami is different. It cannot stay in one place forever, no matter it is In order to spy on intelligence, or simply avoid searches and prevent exposure, Chen Zhi had to constantly control their movements.

The origami will wear out with such activity. Over time, problems will occur. Finally, due to intense wear and tear, the lifespan of these origami papers will reach the end one after another.

"Shi Le's move was foreshadowed in advance. The siege of Luoyang has happened frequently in recent years. Why did the three kings abandon the capital this time and move to Guanzhong? Their roots are all in the east. Are there any details I don’t know?”

This time, Chen Zhi had problems with intelligence.

"Unfortunately, in the past four years, although I have drawn lots every one or two months, I have never gotten anything as convenient as zodiac origami."

On the other hand, there are no officials canonized by Chen Zhi in the imperial court - this is natural. Half of the legitimacy of Chen Zhi's current authority comes from the canonization by the imperial court. Under the premise of not being a powerful official and monopolizing the imperial court, he simply cannot It is impossible to canonize central officials.

"I can only rely on this luck to get in touch and figure out the general situation over there..."

Inexplicably, following his luck, he felt an ominous aura.

With this in mind, Chen Zhi took a look at the sky, estimated the time, and then told Chen Wu to go to the backyard to inform his family that he was handling official business in the study tonight and that no one else should disturb him. Then he closed his eyes and rested.

This time, he did not direct his energy to his subordinates everywhere, but really recuperated his energy.

A few hours later, the east turned white, and Chen Zhi opened his eyes again, with a little golden light shining in his eyes, and then walked out of the study.

The two guards outside the door saluted him and followed him.

Chen Zhi came to the stable, got on his horse, and went straight out of the general's mansion. Under the protection of a group of soldiers, he came to a small slope outside the city and looked towards the south.

At this moment, the sun appears, and the purple energy comes from the east, vast and powerful.

Chen Zhi felt the connection between himself and this land, which is the foundation; and above his head, the aura of protection from the distant capital, which is the principle of law.

Under normal circumstances, half of the authority of frontier officials comes from the court and imperial power, and half comes from the common people and military power.

Since Chen Zhi ran Youzhou, developed production, strengthened the army and prospered business, his foundation was already deep, and his reputation and strength were combined to stabilize his own power. Therefore, more than half of the foundation for him to settle down came from his own prestige and the land of Youzhou. The protection is much thinner. Even if this layer of legitimacy is missing, it will cause turmoil at most, but it will not hurt the foundation.

But this does not mean that court orders are unimportant. In this era, a well-justified principle can save a lot of trouble.

On the other hand, the current emperor of the New Han Dynasty was really kind to Chen Zhi. He protected and trusted Chen Zhi in every way. Chen Zhi also reciprocated to the best of his ability. But now it seems that due to distance and other reasons, I'm afraid there are variables.

Feeling the flow of destiny between heaven and earth, Chen Zhi finally looked towards the distance with concentration.

In the farthest sky, between the layers of clouds and mist, there was a purple divine dragon turning over.This represents the dragon vein of the New Han Dynasty, which is the foundation of the dynasty, and its core is the symbol of the entire dynasty - the emperor.

At this time, the dragon was floating and uncertain, like the clouds in the sky, imaginary but not real.

Chen Zhi, who has long understood the tricks of luck, knows very well that this kind of performance means that the authority of the imperial court has been lost, and it also shows the decline in strength. There are still three black clouds pressing down on the dragon's head.

This is the pattern in which high achievements shock the master and those who rebel against the guest mainly refer to the three clan princes. They were the powerful ministers who placed pressure on the emperor. It was as if they had blinded the dragon, put a collar on it, and forcibly led it.

However, this is not absolute. If there are capable ministers, even if they are monopolistic, they will not confuse the dragon. Then the red light shines on the dragon's head. At this time, the three kings are ignorant and only focus on the interests of their own factions, harming the public and enriching themselves. For black clouds.

The dragon travels westward, but it flies from high places to low places, symbolizing decline and decline. It does not mean that the west is worse than the east, but because the east has been managed by the New Han Dynasty for more than 30 years and has long been the best of the best, providing luck to the world. The place I love is like Jixian County in Youzhou, a place where luck flows, and it also represents orthodoxy, authority and people's hearts.

Leaving such a place and going elsewhere, no matter where it is, will inevitably shock people's hearts and bring turmoil, especially the current situation of the New Han Dynasty, which is exposed from all directions, manifested in the illusion and gathering and dispersion of the dragon's body. It is a situation where the foundation is shaken and the limbs are broken. It has to leave the nest and go west, even if it doesn't decline.

But what worries Chen Zhi even more is that in the western sky, there is a streak of blood appearing, faintly revealing the danger.

"No matter what the three kings want from the emperor this time, they are marching in danger. I hope everything goes well, if not..."

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

At this point, the sky was already bright. Chen Zhi sighed, gathered his men, and prepared to go back. When he met many soldiers, the leader was Chen Ju.

Chen Ju was still a private soldier, but he was in charge of the personal guard regiment that protected Chen Zhi. Because they all wore red cloaks, they were also called the "Jiang Army".

But it was he who heard that Chen Zhi was out and took the initiative to lead his troops over to protect Chen Zhi Zhouquan.

As soon as Chen Ju came, he asked why.

Chen Zhi waved his hand and said, "If nothing happens, I will return now."

When we arrived at the General's Mansion, after breakfast, Tong Hai came over to see him again.

Now Tong Hai leads a division that is independent from the Secret Intelligence Division and specializes in investigating cases where officials bend the law for personal gain and can also accept reports from the public.

But these are just appearances. In fact, the duty of this department is to supervise the officialdom. Everyone in Youzhou knows this very well. It is said that even the Secret Intelligence Department is under supervision, which makes people even more fearful and avoid them. Far away.

However, Tong Hai's complexion is much better than Su Liao's, and he even gained weight.

As soon as he saw Chen Zhi, he reported his intention——

"In the past few days, Daijun Zhou Ao has often been in contact with merchants. I followed one of them and found that this merchant had connections in Luoyang. He followed up on the wishes of the aristocratic family."
