Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 940: The center used to be strong, but today the troops are strong

"There is actually someone who is trying to smooth things over in the imperial court, and wants to be named the governor of Youzhou after running it? Are you thinking about Youzhou?" After receiving the news from Su Liao, Chen Zhi showed a look of surprise, and immediately broke into laughter. , "Could it be that they don't know that it was only after I defeated Wang Jun that Youzhou really started to change hands and is taking over?"

Su Liao also looked helpless and said: "It seems that people from a top family are trying to get it, but what Huan Yi said is not clear, so it is not yet clear which family it is. I only know that there is actually a clan behind it." promote."

"Huan Yi revealed this news to Zaosong because he wanted Zaosong to express it as a favor." Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes and thought carefully, "Actually, it was just a stepping stone. The main reason was to talk about the Wang family's affairs. , the Wang family in Jixian County is actually not easy to deal with, because after all, Wang Jun cannot be killed, otherwise he will be at odds with the court. The main criminal cannot go, and of course his family cannot be touched, so he will be under house arrest. If Zaosong comes forward, It’s also a compromise strategy, just go with the flow and it’s logical.”

Su Liao listened from the side without interjecting, sticking to his duty as a spy chief.

Chen Zhize suddenly looked at him and said: "Huan Yi is the envoy of King Jiangdu, but he has been in Dai County. The letters he sent out are all code words. I am afraid that his knowledge is limited. Now that he can say this, I am afraid that he will not be the same as Lu. It has something to do with ambition. The King of Jiangdu is one of the clans. Although he was defeated by Shi Le in a row, he is the real power of the county king who controls the army. He will definitely be won over by Luoyang. He knows more, which is normal. "

After hearing this, Su Liao could not continue to be silent. After sorting out what he knew, he replied: "Previously, King Jin ascended the throne, King Guanghan, King Ganling and others died one after another. After King Changsha escaped from the capital, he recruited The troops and horses are now stationed in Jingzhou. The force is huge. Even some foreigners who were causing trouble around Jingzhou have calmed down. However, other places are still fluctuating. The entire south, except for the Jiangzuo area, is vaguely unstable. Many people have gone. Inviting Tao Gong to come out and stabilize the situation again, Wang Dun, the governor of Yangzhou, also used the prestige of the Wang family to control many Yangzhou soldiers and horses to guard key areas, saying that he wanted to prevent the chaos in the south from spreading to the north."

As soon as he said this, he immediately painted a picture of a country full of smoke and turmoil, but it was actually a bit exaggerated, because Jiangzuo, the highlight of the New Han Dynasty, together with Qingxu, Yanyu and other places in the north, as well as Guanzhong, were all It is still stable, and the general framework is still there, but it is just because of the antagonism between the DPRK and China and the mutual containment, as well as the continuous disasters, the rise of the Xiongnu and other things, which consume too many troops and cannot be sorted out for the time being.

However, Chen Zhi knew very well that not only the south, but also Jizhou and Bingzhou in the north, even Youzhou where he was in charge, and Yizhou Shu in the southwest all had hidden dangers, and their connection with the central government was getting weaker and weaker. Once the court changes again and this connection continues to weaken, troubled times will really return.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh again.

"I have also heard these news," Chen Zhi said, shaking his head slightly, "The chaos is gradually becoming, and the center of Luoyang has become the eye of the storm, being watched by all parties, especially the Changsha King To break it, the past central place is a shortcut to success. The children of aristocratic families from all over the country, no matter what their position is or where they are in politics, most of their eyes will fall on Luoyang. They want to make political achievements and then return to the central center. , ranked last in the imperial class, with imperial decrees and decrees from all directions, regulating yin and yang, and controlling the universe. Whether it is for family fortune or for one's own power, he is the best choice."

At this point, he changed the subject: "Just a year ago, those who were local officials, even those who were feudal officials, were often not valued by the aristocratic families. They were considered not to be on the right path and were far away from the center. The reason why I was sent to Youzhou Daijun, because some people see that I have a future in Luoyang, and are afraid that I will step into the clouds, enter the palace and win the emperor's trust, so I came from this place. Unexpectedly, there are chaos in various places. The soldier leader who was not taken seriously in the past is now To be wooed, King Jiangdu was sought after even though he was losing in a row, but I broke Wang Jun's power, but some people thought they could take advantage of it and pick the fruit, why do you think?" After being asked, Su Liao replied: "Maybe I think Wang Jun is powerful. Even if he wins, Daijun's troops and horses will suffer too many losses, so there is an opportunity to take advantage of him."

"This is one of them. If you say when Youzhou is the weakest, it is probably at this time. After Wang Jun left, the Youzhou army has no leader. This is a desirable thing. But I won Youzhou, which has not yet been consolidated and has limited manpower. If it is feasible, when the old and the new are changing, if it doesn't work, after I consolidate the situation, even if Youzhou is not a fortified wall, then I will try to find it again, and I will have to wait until the chaos in the four directions is quelled. I don't know how long it will be enough to make this state and If the Chen family matches, especially if the news spreads that I have an heir, there must be someone in the court who cannot sit still."

"Secondly, I'm afraid someone has talked through King Jin and made him realize that there cannot be another Wang Jun," Chen Zhi said without hesitation, expressing the unfinished meaning of Su Liao's words.

"The imperial court talks about its majesty, but its decisions come from many sources. There are the emperor's thoughts, the voice of the prime minister, the intention of the three platforms, and the words of the nine ministers. Therefore, the things decided at one time are not irreversible, otherwise this would There are still many people in various places who have to send people to the capital to clear things up. In fact, it is for lobbying. When Wang Jun was able to sit in Youzhou, it was because of collusion with people in the court. Previously, the king of Jin gained power. In order to appease all parties, it was necessary to I won over a few people, including my uncle and my father-in-law, and promised to give me the position of governor. However, some people couldn't see it and lobbied in the middle to let other parties put pressure on the King of Jin. It was not impossible, and the King of Jin was a deep-minded person. , the city is very deep, and at the beginning, it could be said that the King of Guanghan and others were manipulated by applause..."

Listening to Chen Zhi's words, Su Liao was slightly stunned. It was obviously the first time he heard such secrets. After all, although he was the spy chief and had handled countless news, these news were limited to Dai County and its surrounding areas. Now he was gradually It expanded to all parts of Youzhou, but no matter how much it expanded, it could not interfere with Luoyang in the distance for the time being.

In just an instant, Su Liao understood that Chen Zhi had learned news far away in Luoyang through another intelligence team, which even involved the secrets between several clans, and was directly related to the authority of the current imperial court. belong!

Therefore, Su Liao was inevitably a little discouraged. After all, he was also a spy, and his Secret Service had just started to improve. He thought he could compete with another Secret Service, and even thought he was one step ahead this time. , Informed the lord of the conversation between Huan Yi and Zao Song in advance, but he did not expect that the other party had already penetrated deep into Luoyang.

No, what kind of place is Luoyang?The center of the world is difficult to penetrate easily. If this is the case, could it be that this secret intelligence agency was established by the master in advance, took root in Luoyang, and extended here?Is that why he is so powerful?
Chen Zhi didn't know that his subordinate was fighting wits and courage with the unwarranted Air Secretary Yamen, and was still talking about King Jin. There was even a hint of admiration in his words: "That King Jin played both sides, used his strength to fight, and hid behind the scenes. , finally took action, and succeeded in one fell swoop. With such forbearance, vision, and determination, he is indeed a leader in the clan. In the future, this person will be in charge of government affairs. Even in Youzhou, we cannot take it lightly."
