Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 798 The Emperor is in danger!

When Su Liao left, his face was full of contemplation. Obviously, this conversation gave him a new understanding of the next work of the Secret Service under his control.

On the other side, Chen Zhi, who stayed in the room, was also thinking about the current situation.

Unlike Su Liao who was looking at things in the fog, Chen Zhi's understanding of the current situation, if not unparalleled in the world, was definitely far beyond ordinary people.

Thanks to the existence of the zodiac origami, Chen Zhi's vision is not limited to a corner of Dai County. He can not only see the situation in Jixian County, not only know the distribution of Wang Jun's troops and horses, but also can span the distance in space. Have a general understanding of the trends in the grasslands outside the Great Wall.

What's more important is that he can grasp the situation of the imperial court immediately, allowing him to understand the pulse of the current era from top to bottom, inside and out, and then try to grasp it.

However, because of his position as the governor of Daijun, he could know the direction of the tide of the times, but was unable to interfere for the time being, especially the changes in the center of the imperial court.

"The situation of the little emperor is not good. He had just ascended the throne not long ago, and he was not very old. Moreover, he was not initially trained as a prince, and his power and tactics were not tempered, so he was easily taken advantage of. But in this position, As time goes by, the desire for power will naturally arise. However, as a result, the conflicts in the New Han Dynasty have become more and more similar to those of the Western Jin Dynasty in history. Is it really because of the similar foundations of the founding of the country? …”

In the original history, the separatist regime in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was actually a carnival between aristocratic families and a struggle within the power class, manifested in the most direct form of force, involving soldiers and common people. For the people above, it's just numbers.

But there is one person who is special among them, and that is Liu Bei.

Liu Bei, the name of an imperial uncle has been passed down for thousands of years, but that is to infer the antecedents from the results. The real situation is that he is the real self-made man without foundation. Even the identity of the imperial uncle is often questioned, if not His ancestors and father were once officials, and they were registered and recorded in the government files for inspection. I am afraid that Liu Bei's identity has long been exposed and repeatedly degraded. After all, these nobles today can only use the criticism methods of future generations. Being better at it, ruining one's reputation and destroying one's reputation, in their opinion, is more serious than killing someone directly.

Such a person with no foundation must rely on helpers if he wants to succeed. Living in Jiangzuo and establishing political power requires compromise. Therefore, the new Han Dynasty has been on an unstable footing from the beginning. The status of the aristocratic family is compared to that of the Western Jin Dynasty in history. Also don't show off too much.

In his previous life, Chen Zhi once wanted to sort out the social structure and carry out certain land reforms, but the environment at that time was not impossible -

Chen Zhi controls some of the troops, while the northern powers attack and contain each other. As long as the problems of land and people can be solved, money will naturally come rolling in.

However, even if his strategy did achieve initial results, Chen Zhi was long gone at that time, and the policy had naturally changed.

"At present, with the reduction of the imperial court's revenue, the financial system is on the verge of collapse and has lost the ability to control the army with finances. However, the feudal princes and kings in various places have relied on their local foundation to accumulate money and food. They were in the imperial court before. The struggle for power and profit in China was still just a political struggle, relying on political tactics, but now the King of Jiangdu had accumulated troops, and his purpose was not to pacify Jizhou. After all, the king's fiefdom was on the left side of the river, and he came all the way to Jizhou. It is easy to gather troops and horses, and it is not far from the capital. I am afraid that if it continues to develop, this power struggle will turn into a military struggle, and the center will be in chaos!"

A similar thing happened once in history. At the beginning of the Eight Kings Rebellion in the Western Jin Dynasty, it was not a military chaos, but a power chaos. However, because of the confusion of power, it eventually led to financial collapse. The central government was unable to maintain a sufficient After calming down the troops of all parties, the emperor finally became the ball and was fought over by all parties. "This is not a reincarnation of history, nor is it predestined. Although there are reasons for the ups and downs of luck, the more essential problem is that the roots were planted in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Now it is just according to the seeds. The reason for this is just a natural development, but the little emperor treats me well after all, but he can't just sit idly by, but I can't warn him because of his position, because the emperor is the last to see any news. And the governor of a county may not be enough to influence the court's decision-making, he must at least command a state!"

The young emperor Liu Dai took great care of Chen Zhi, and even regarded Chen Zhi as a confidant. Chen Zhi's smooth official career was inseparable from the emperor's support. However, once the emperor's position changed, , whether he is dead or alive, there will be no pain. Since Chen Zhi has discovered the general trend of historical context, he must take action.

"It seems that Wang Jun's actions actually gave me a chance. I'm just waiting for him to come."

However, what Chen Zhi really has to worry about at the moment is actually the issue of his wife's pregnancy. Now the whole family is busy with this matter, and when the news spreads, all the big and small families in Dai County have also sent people. , and even brought congratulatory gifts, which are all waiting for them.

Even Hong Qian, who came with the convoy to ask for an explanation, knew that it was not easy to cause trouble at this time, so he stayed in the city and argued with some officials.

Time passed like this, and five days later, the spies arranged by Su Liao came back with some news one after another, which finally convinced him that the defense arrangement given to him by Chen Zhi was correct!

More importantly, Wang Jun's soldiers and horses arranged in the dark had begun to make moves, so he immediately reported the news to Chen Zhi.

"Looking at it this way, the war will probably start within this month, probably in a few days." Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes, not surprised by the result.

Su Liao reminded: "Then we should gather the wheat outside the city first. Although it has not grown yet, it has finally taken shape. If it is left outside, it may be destroyed by Wang Jun's soldiers and horses."

Chen Zhi shook his head when he heard this and said, "We have to wait a while."

When Su Liao heard this, he was about to talk again. Suddenly someone came to report that it was Chen Zi who came to meet the prefect.

When Chen Zhi heard this, he showed joy and said to Su Liao: "Let's go, I'll go to welcome him together. This time he comes back, everyone is in full order. I have obtained the title of general, opened a mansion, and conferred the title of officer. It’s time, so that in wartime powers can be clearly defined and everyone can perform their duties!”

As he said this, he felt a slight change in the breath on his head, and knew that his luck had sensed the idea, and he was brewing the matter of canonization.
