Chapter 1460 Sheji is innocent
Whether it is the current Northern Expedition, or the subsequent governance of the entire world, or even the revival of the country, there is no doubt that Hebei is the most important area.

Correspondingly, Hebei was also the most severely injured in this round of Hulu invasion, especially the years-long tyranny of Shihu, the ruler of Jie, left Hebei people destitute and devastated.And even if the Jie Kingdom is conquered and Hu Zhe is weakened, it will be very difficult to rule Hebei.

This area has long been one of the most elite areas in the world, and because of this, there are many old families with a long history.On this point, even the Wang family of Langya, who once ruled the world with horses after the Nandu, was nothing more than a rising star in front of the aristocratic families in Hebei.

In addition to these aristocratic and old families, the perennial chaos has also caused the tyrants to breed in various parts of Hebei. As a single individual, although they do not have the strength to compete and challenge the majesty of the king's master, their similar realm and demands make it difficult for them once the decree and the government are issued. After their interests conflict, there will be a possibility of tandem echoes between them.

Jiehu soldiers suffer, the remnants of the aristocratic family, powerful forces, coupled with the already sluggish people's livelihood in Hebei and the refugees everywhere, the accumulation of many factors, and the inward migration of many Hu tribes under the rule of Jiehu, have resulted in Hebei The current situation is extremely complex and difficult.

General Shen knew very well in his heart that at the final stage of the Northern Expedition, he would inevitably face a series of problems. The military elimination of the enemy was only a prerequisite, and if the subsequent problems were not handled properly, they would all be ruined. Not right now, but will overturn the achievements of the Northern Expedition in the not-too-distant future.

These problems, a single one is enough to cause headaches, but they are mixed with each other and entangled with each other. Touching any point may affect the overall change.When considering these issues, we cannot follow the simple thinking of the enemy is weak and we are strong in military affairs.If this is also classified as a battle, then this battlefield is several times more complicated than the actual Northern Expedition!
Therefore, for Xingtai, the military elimination of the Jie country is only the first step. After completing this step, it will face the real test imposed by the world.

Will Xingtai, which is so powerful for a while, be short-lived like China and North Korea, or will it be able to firmly control the situation in the world, thoroughly consolidate and digest the results of the Northern Expedition, and eliminate many hidden dangers and trends in the future?

In this test, Shen Zhezi also did not have the confidence to win, but only faced the difficulties.Fortunately, he has not been standing for a long time now, he is still young and vigorous, his spirit has not faded, his willpower is still sharp, and he will fight for it for the rest of his life.

It is precisely because of the complicated situation in Hebei that Xingtai is the most fully prepared for this.In addition to the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of kings who were far superior to previous attacks on the frontal battlefield, a large number of young talents from secret pavilions were also organized to practice here, including Shen Zhezi himself, who has been sitting in Hebei since the beginning of this Northern Expedition. Use it all!

Shen Mu's various measures on the East Road this time, to Shen Zhezi, it is not an exaggeration to call it amazing!Now that he has a high position and authority, he is more and more used to bossing around, and there are very few things that can make him look happy. Even if the former Wang Shi reported that he had captured the Capricorn master Shi Hu alive, it was only a matter of course and a logical thing to him .

But this time, he was moved by the content of Shen Mu's report, his excitement was beyond words, and he even praised Shen Mu as a great weapon in the community. The pride he couldn't hide was even worse than when he heard that Shen Yun attacked Xiangguo by surprise before. It can't help but make everyone in the car feel curious.

"Could it be that Marquis Shen has already forced the capital, and the imperial court has been exposed to the sword?"

Seeing that the general was so happy, Hu Run also asked curiously.Before that, he also received a letter from Shen Mu and sent some soldiers to help Tobu City, but he didn't lead his troops there personally because he needed to wait for the general to arrive, but he was no stranger to the dynamics of Tobu City, so he was thinking to himself at this moment The thing that can make the general so happy must be that Tobu City has made great achievements.

At this moment, in this mansion in Guangzong City, there are also officials of ceremonies who have been transferred to honors such as Xie Shang, as well as young sages like Huan Yi who have already been appointed, and all parties under Xingtai's rule. , Ji Kuang, Fan Wang, Yuan Qiao and others who are waiting to take office in Hebei.Dozens of people were in the hall together, each of them was full of curiosity and anticipation.

"Ji Long is dying of a sick animal, so it's not worth hearing about it."

Shen Zhezi was in a good mood at the moment, pointed at Hu Run and replied with a smile, and at the same time did not make everyone wait too long, raised his hand to signal Chen Kui to pass Shen Mu's memorial to everyone in the hall, there was a bit of a difference between his expressions Show off and show off.

Everyone read the memorial one by one, and at the same time, they all gave different reactions, and secretly wondered in their hearts which content in the memorial deserved the general's joy.

As a warrior, Hu Run's thoughts are relatively simple. After reading it, he sighed: "Ji Long's tyranny has trapped hundreds of thousands of people in Hebei Province to death. Such abandonment of humanity is really digging his own grave! Shenhou Gaoyi, for living Li Shu from Hebei Province, who can give up extraordinary merits, is really a role model for us!"

Shen Zhezi smiled and nodded, but he was not disappointed because Hu Run didn't understand the essence. After all, even Shen Mu's achievement of this step surprised him, and he didn't expect all the generals under his command to have such a vision.

Fan Wang, who turned into an official career from the relatively simple academic ground of Xinshiguan, pondered for a while, and then said: "From chaos to governance, severe punishment must be imposed. It is natural for the Marquis Shen to punish the township wishes. If you are guilty of the crime, you will inevitably lose the power of punishment..."

Some people questioned Shen Mu's extraordinary method, but Shen Zhezi was not surprised.In particular, Fan Wangjiu is a master of Confucianism and lacks practical opportunities to weigh. Although he agrees with the suppression of Xiangyuan, he feels that it is inappropriate to use the voice of the common people as the basis for sentencing. I feel offended by praise, which is not conducive to the pure and simple folk customs in Hebei.

Shen Zhezi does not disagree with the fact that different people have different views on one thing. The so-called brainstorming, as long as the basic line is not conflicted, he also has his own tolerance for accepting advice.

But before Shen Zhezi opened his mouth, Xie Shang had already refuted: "Fan Gong is a Confucianist in Heluo, and his words and thoughts are all in accordance with the ancients and the sages. However, the reason why Xiangxiang is hateful is that right and wrong are confused, and virtue and non-virtue tend to be chaotic. This is why Zhongni hates it. Kitsch makes the trend, confuses the people and deceives the emperor. Between the clouds and the mud, it becomes a paradise. Hearing is clear, so that people's illnesses can be exposed, and grace and power can be gained from innocence, how can the world be cured?"

The reason why Shen Zhezi is satisfied with Xie Shang lies in his flexibility and complexity.In the old years of Jiangdong, the overseas Chinese were in power, and he was the guest of Wang Ge with his elegant and demonic abilities. When the Shen family suddenly grew, the general ruled the house and enforced the law. He was also known for his respect and service. And being able to preside over the reform of meritorious service, it can be said that talents in any aspect may not reach the peak, but they can also be top-notch.

If you add that he was in charge of Yuzhou in the original history, it became the starting point for the Xie family of Chen Jun to become Fang Bo, and laid a solid foundation for the rise of the Xie family of Chen Jun. Xie Shang is simply an all-rounder, a descendant of the family Among the top talent representatives.Even Xie An and Xie Xuan after the Xie family in Chenjun are just further developments of a certain side of Xie Shang.

In history, the Xie clan of Chenjun was able to become one of the four great masters in Jiangdong after Nandu. Xie Shang, a leader who is almost all-rounder, really deserved the credit.

Just like right now, Shen Mu's wish to kill the village put forward by Shen Mu, which made the general very happy, in such a short period of time, Xie Shang was able to understand the essence, although what the general said was different from what the general thought in his heart , but not much different.

Xiangyuan, in the Confucian classics system, was originally proposed as a moral concept.But if it is broadly extended to the universal level, it will have greater significance.

The Duke of Zhou was afraid of rumors, but Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp him.Xiangshi died in the same year, so who knows the authenticity of his life.In the traditional concept of Confucianism, Wang Mang is a heinous traitor, but looking at his actions in his life, he is more like a fanatic and practitioner of Confucian governance.

But if the Xiangyuan was introduced into the ancient ruling level, Wang Mang was an out-and-out Xiangyuan, and it also represented the great harm the Xiangyuan did to the world.

Of course, General Shen also has a more straightforward understanding of the existence of Xiangyuan. They are a group of middlemen who control the upper and lower communication channels and earn the difference.And the so-called wish to kill the countryside is to eliminate middlemen.

From a moral point of view, Xiangyuan is a hypocrite and a thief of disorderly morality, but when it extends to the ruling ecology of the Middle Ages, aristocratic families and powerful people are a group of Xiangyuan.Holding the classics and righteousness to preach private theories, stealing the monarchy to gain private reputation, holding villagers hostage to private business, embarrassing officials' corpses, and bullying superiors and inferiors.

The reason why Shen Mu's slogan of getting rid of the wish to kill the hometown was praised by Shen Zhezi is that it has touched the root of whether the society can be long-term stable.The establishment of households in the Qin Dynasty and the selection of scholars in the imperial examination in the Sui Dynasty are both feats of cutting out intermediate links and strengthening the efficiency of centralization, which will benefit future generations.

In fact, even without Shen Mu's proposal, Shen Zhezi has been thinking about ways to resolve this social problem year after year, and even earlier.As early as the time of the Huainan Governor's Mansion, he suppressed the tyrants, especially when he swung the butcher knife at the Hongnong Yang family during the westward expedition to Guanzhong, and fully demonstrated Xingtai's tough attitude in this regard.

However, this kind of elimination with a single method and a strong posture also brought a lot of negative impacts on Xingtai. The most direct manifestation is that although Xingtai has become a general trend, due to its reputation, if it is not inevitable during the Northern Expedition, In fact, there are not many rural schools that really take the initiative to seek refuge in Xingtai.

Moreover, the future new dynasty, as a unified regime, must at least be united and inclusive on the surface. If it shows complete malice towards a certain group, it will be difficult to build a stable society before it is completely eliminated. rule.But the aristocratic family has a long history, a powerful breed, and even an important part of Xingtai itself, so how can you say that you can let go of it!

However, the concept of struggle put forward by Shen Mu can cleverly avoid direct conflicts and at the same time gain practical effects.Killing you is not because you are an old surname or a strong local tyrant, but because you are a thief from the countryside, and you are morally flawed!
As for the proposal of this slogan, it is also very ingenious. It is stuck at the delicate moment when the Jin Zuo court is about to die and the new dynasty is about to be established.And when the morals of the world officially take this step, the idea of ​​​​struggling to kill the village will naturally become one of the basic policies of the new dynasty.

Xiangyuan is actually very difficult to completely eliminate, which stems from the self-interested nature of human nature.Moreover, when it comes to speculation on the moral level, there is actually no clear criterion.But at the moment, it is a slogan that can be used as a fixed point to eliminate the remnants of the aristocratic clans and tyrants, at least to suppress them within the tolerance of a new world.

This slogan can also win the recognition and consensus of everyone on the stage.The Northern Expedition to kill the Hu and regain China is the result of the concerted efforts of all members of the Xingtai. Any person from a certain family who does not belong to the Xingtai sequence, if he wants to do something under the Xingtai's great achievements, it is encroaching on the Xingtai Ba The achievements of the government!
