In the past Cao Cao met Xun Yu for the first time. We shared a couch and drank together, and talked all night long. Cao Cao was very happy and said, "My ovary is here." Tonight Huan Wen Talking with Chen Caozhi is also a great pleasure. Chen Caozhi's approach to governing the country Seven Convenient Measures is deeply in line with Huan Wen's wishes. We talked in secret for a long time and stayed up late at night -
What Chen Caozhi said about governing the country Seven Convenient Measures are: first, Jiangzuo is the same as a crony, Pure Criticism is Yang boiling, it is better to suppress exaggeration, put an end to competition, and do not allow people to grow; secondly, the household registration is low and it is not suitable for a Han county, and the official system is redundant and people are superfluous, so it is better to Merging Offices and Reducing Posts, so that everyone can perform their duties; Thirdly, the machine work cannot be stopped, and the regular writing should be limited to a certain date; fourthly, it is appropriate to distinguish between elders and younger ones, and to reward loyal officials; fifthly, praise and criticism should be rewarded and punished in a realistic manner; sixthly, it is appropriate to abide by the previous code and study diligently; seventhly, Large households keep Displaced People privately. There are no indigenous people, national taxes are lost, and there is a shortage of labor. It is advisable to check the household members and implement Tuduan. The law is strictly prohibited and no hiding of private property is allowed--
Chen Caozhi pointed out the shortcomings of the current situation and had countermeasures. Huan Wen lamented that it was too late to meet him and leaned forward to talk. Unknowingly, Watchtower Drum had updated three times.
At this time, a woman outside the small plain-curtained door said, "General, it's late at night--"
The voice was low and cold, but also had a strange charm. Chen Caozhi immediately remembered the woman Jiangling Lake met that day when traveling with Lu Weiwei, the saber Military Officer, the gorgeous carriage, and the beautiful hand. At that time, the woman said she would help Chen Caozhi elope with Lu Weiwei--
Chen Caozhi thought to himself, "This woman must be Princess Cheng Han Li Jingshu." He immediately said, "Grand Marshal, my subordinates take their leave."
Huan Wen was in a happy mood and said, "I saw Caozhi today, and Suchness is at ease, so why not just talk all night long."
Chen Caozhi said, "Grand Marshal, my subordinate is also a little tired today."
Huan Wen saw that Chen Caozhi was in high spirits and never looked tired at all, so he turned around and said, "Qingqing, come and meet my talented people."
Chen Caozhi sat upright with his hands on his knees, thinking, "Who is Qingqing? Don't I feel pity for Li Jingshu?"
The woman behind the curtain by the small door did not show up, and asked, "Is it Staff Officer Xi?" The only one who could talk to Huan Wen for such a long time was Xi Chao.
Huan Wen said, "No, it's Jiangzuo Wei Jie Chen Caozhi Chen Zizhong, the new Western Campaign Clerk, please come and meet me."
The people of Jin did not respect their concubines very much. When there were distinguished guests at home, their concubines would come out to persuade them to drink. Those celebrities who were dissolute and dissolute would make fun of and tease them everywhere. Therefore, the status of concubines and wives was very different.
But I heard the woman named Qingqing say, "I don't see you." The footsteps sounded softly and she left.
Huan Wen obviously loved this woman very much and did not feel dissatisfied. He said to Chen Caozhi, "Caozhi is discussing the governance of the country tonight. Seven Convenient Measures, it is a step further than Zhu Yingtai's "Seven Strategies for Restoration". You will write this Seven Convenient Measures into a memorial for me tomorrow, and I will go to the imperial court to implement it."
Chen Caozhi said, "This Seven Convenient Measures is inspired by Zhu Yingtai's "Three Strategies for Restoration" and expanded on it. I thought it was Should we wait until Zhu Yingtai and Staff Officer Xi return to Gushu to consider it, strive for perfection, and then report it to the imperial court? What do Grand Marshal think?"
Chen Caozhi This is to prevent his sharp edge from being too obvious. Although Xi Chao appreciates him very much and has a good relationship with him, Xi Chao is still very different from Xu Miao, Gu Kaizhi and others. Xi Chao is utilitarian and he does not It can make Xi Chao feel that it is possible for him to replace his transcendent status in Huan Wen's Military Headquarters, otherwise he will be tabooed by Xi Chao, and this Seven Convenient Measures will definitely touch the vested interests of many people, and he Chen Caozhi does not want to bear the brunt of it and act as a pawn for the time being--
Huan Wen is such a smart man. He immediately understood what Chen Caozhi was thinking. He raised his beard and smiled and said, "It's okay, just listen and you will understand." He personally escorted Chen Caozhi out of the atrium, but saw General’s Residence on duty Attendant Gentleman Dou Tao came to report in a hurry, saying Wuxing Because Shen Jin had no hope of seeking an official position, he led the crowd to leave Gushu in the afternoon. Before leaving, he came to General’s Residence to say goodbye to Grand Marshal Huan. At that time, Grand Marshal was having a banquet, so Shen Jin went back and wrote a letter to Letter.
Huan Wen took a look at the letter, looked at Chen Caozhi, and said, "Shen Jin wants to cross the river Huainan is attached to Huan Yewang--"
Chen Caozhi said, "Please Grand Marshal please keep him."
Huan Wen thought for a moment and said, "Clerk Chen will chase Shen Jin on my behalf and tell him that I promise to report to the court to lift his ban from serving as an official." The Japanese soldier Cao was ordered to accompany Chen Caozhi.
Chen Caozhi said, "I would like to ask Xie Youdu to come with me to chase Shen Jin back."
Huan Wen said, "Okay, come back to me when you come back."
Chen Caozhi returned to Phoenix Mountain's apartment, and Xie Xuan was still waiting for him. After listening to what Chen Caozhi said, he immediately took a few Military Officer with him and met the soldier on duty and his Six people from Soldiers, including Chen Caozhi and Ran Sheng, rode out of the south gate of Gushu City and chased westward along Gushu Creek. Shen Jin and his party were preparing to cross the river to Huainan.
Waning Crescent Moon is like a hook, the stars are faint, the night air beside Gushu Creek is filled with the fragrance of vegetation, and the clatter of horse hooves frightens the frogs. Only after everyone has passed by does they dare to croak sparsely.
The sergeant led the way. Chen Caozhi and Xie Xuan chased for more than ten miles northwest and caught up with Shen Jin and his more than a thousand tribesmen who were camping and resting on the bank of Jiangxin Island. These more than a thousand tribesmen were all old tribes of the Shen family and were willing to follow Shen Jin and serve the country. However, Shen Jin could not get an official position. This was somewhat unfair. By the way, all the tribes felt that the future was bleak and the journey to the north was inevitably sad. When they learned that Sima Huan had agreed to lift Shen Jin's imprisonment from serving as an official, they were all overjoyed and cheered. Shen Jin also knew that this was because of Chen Caozhi and Xie Xuan's recommendation. He was very grateful to Chen and Xie and immediately led his troops back to Gushu.
Shen Jin is in his forties, of medium height, with a strong physique, a resolute and resolute expression, and a slightly gloomy look. He rides his horse alongside Chen Caozhi and Xie Xuan, and talks about the art of war. He doesn't say much, but is very insightful.
Shen Jin was very surprised by Chen Caozhi, who has become the most famous among the younger generation of Jiangzuo in the past two years. From what Clerk Xie and Fu Bingcao said, it was Chen Caozhi who begged Grand Marshal Huan to achieve such a result. Shen Jin and Chen Caozhi is a stranger to Chen Caozhi. It is really valuable that Chen Caozhi is willing to help so generously. It is also strange that Grand Marshal Huan is willing to accept Chen Caozhi's words. After all, Chen Caozhi is the first to Military Command, and Qiantang Chen Clan has no foundation.
However, after returning to Gushu City from the riverside, in just over half an hour, Shen Jin understood why Huan Wen valued Chen Caozhi so much. Chen Caozhi not only had excellent tolerance, but also had extraordinary knowledge. He knew the situation of Northern Lands well and had a far-sighted Insight. Shen Jin was worthy of it.
By this time, it was already getting dark, so Chen Caozhi, Xie Xuan, and Shen Jin went straight to General's Residence to meet Grand Marshal Huan. Huan Wen ordered the waiter to send a message to Chen Caozhi and others to go and have a rest and see them in the afternoon.
Xie Xuan and Shen Jin went to Chen Caozhi's apartment together. The newly hired cook was very hard-working and quickly served the steaming bean porridge. Xie Xuan smiled and asked, "Zizhong is entertaining guests. Bean porridge is also prepared immediately, so why?"
Chen Caozhi smiled and said, "It's the right time."
Shen Jin didn't understand what Xie Xuan and Chen Caozhi meant, so Xie Xuan compared yesterday's Chen Caozhi and Hao Long's Dialectical Debate listened in detail to Shen Jin, Shen Jin laughed, and listened to Xie Xuan's narration by Chen Caozhi praised him in front of Grand Marshal Huan. Shen Jin has little integrity, courage and strategy, and has the talent of a general. Shen Jin suffered a cold reception because of the Punished Clan. 's eyes immediately filled with tears, but he did not say any words of gratitude. The two sentences Guan Zhong said thousands of years ago echoed in his heart, "My parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and Chen Caozhi is the one who knows me."
In the afternoon, Chen Caozhi, Xie Xuan, and Shen Jin went to General’s Residence to meet Grand Marshal Huan. Wang Tanzhi was also present. Huan Wen spoke kindly to Shen Jin. After a few words of comfort, he ordered Xie Xuan to write a letter to the court on his behalf, expressing Shen Jin's talent and loyalty, requesting to lift Shen Jin's imprisonment from being an official, and supplementing Seventh-Rank Chief Clerk of the Champion General with Shen Jin to help General Who Champions the Army. Chen You Shou Luoyang.
Huan Wen's Memorial was rarely rejected by the court. Since Huan Wen said that he would ask the court to replace the champion Chief Clerk with Shen Jin, it was equivalent to having been actually awarded. Shen Jin was overjoyed and knelt down to thank him.
Huan Wen also told Wang Tanzhi that he would resign from the post of Director of the Department of State Affairs, and would send an envoy to Jiankang to explain the matter to the assistant government Grand Minister over the Masses Sima Yu.
The next morning, Huan Wen led the civil and military officials to send the imperial envoy Wang Tanzhi back to Jiankang, and said goodbye under Baizhu Mountain. Wang Tanzhi will also join Western Headquarters in June as Chief Clerk, and will be "unparalleled in virtue" Xi Jiabin, Jiangdong, "unique Wang Wendu" will all fall under the Huan Wen account, and there are also Yuan Hong, Zhou Chu, Xie Xuan, and Chen Caozhi. The Western Headquarters is full of talents.
Western Headquarters There is no war, and the staff are idle. Gushu City It is by no means the scene of military discipline and daily drills imagined by outsiders. Military Command The staff do not directly lead the troops. They are only responsible to Huan Wen, providing military staff and preparing advisors for response. As for military training, it is carried out by generals and subordinates at all levels. Some of the staff who are getting along are just dawdling in Military Command--
