Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1071
He is not only the ruler of Taifu, but also the leader that a considerable part of the Yuzhou township clan relies on. Chu Chong has too many things to weigh in both public and private affairs.

In his position, one must have all-round abilities. For example, even his cousin Chu Jiye is accusing him of being in power as a Taifu and handling the matter of Xi Jian incorrectly.But what can he do?
In official affairs, the evil things that Fang Bo privately gave and accepted happened frequently, which made the central authority disappear.In terms of private affairs, there are many villagers in Yuzhou who want to go back to their hometown to manage their business, but there are many constraints in Huainan.

As a Taiwan assistant, Chu Chong already has no lack of dereliction of duty. As the leader of the village, he also has to bear the accusations of many unsatisfactory villagers.Under such circumstances, he couldn't even retreat calmly, because even if he delegated power generously, the person who took over his power would never have the heart to tolerate it.Instead of giving others the public tools and drifting with the tide, he might as well face up to the difficulties and work hard to gain a foothold.

Just like the handover of power in Xuzhou this time, Shen Weizhou didn't even bother to try.As a matter of fact, just a while ago, there were still villagers from Yuzhou who came to lobby Chu Chong, hoping that he would not obstruct in this regard, in order to ease the relationship with Huainan and pave the way for the villagers to return to the north. He also had certain fantasies, but the facts still gave him a great irony.

The Taiwanese ministers did not go to visit Xi Jian in private, but this kind of personal communication was actually beyond Chu Hong's control.It is precisely because a large number of Wu people have been swept out in the past period that the main body of Taiwan officials has become people from Qing, Xu, Yuyan and other places, and because of the private transfer of power and positions in Xuzhou, all parties have suffered to varying degrees. loss.

Therefore, neglecting Xi Jian can be said to be a joint decision, not an individual's proposition.

Of course, there is an even bigger culprit in this matter, that is Shen Weizhou who is currently in Guangling, but the nature of bullying the weak and fearing the hard will, facing this situation, the real Taifu has not clearly expressed his attitude to denounce it. Who dares to stare at Shen shi rashly.So the grievances accumulated during this process naturally doubled and poured out on Xi Jian.

"Xuzhou's affairs are related to all parties, and it's not up to you to discuss. Ji Ye, you don't need to be distracted any more. During this period of time, carefully select old and good staff. After the beginning of spring, go to Xuancheng first. At the end of the year, I will He will suggest that the king of Xuancheng lead the left guard and beware of stones, and with this response, you can start many affairs in Xuancheng as soon as possible."

Facing the increasingly severe situation, the Taifus gradually stopped specifying any illusory big goals, but focused on the present. For example, the previous rectification of Taicheng and the cleanup of the forces in Jiwu were all products of this kind of thinking.

Previously, Chu Jiye took charge of Kuaiji to control Wuzhong's inner circle, which seemed to be a good arrangement in theory, but in fact it had little effect.

The essence of the Wuhui land is not the armored soldiers, but the money and food. However, the Shen family and other Wu people have managed to store wealth in the people for many years, making it difficult for anyone to join the Wuhui as long as they cannot get the approval of the Wu people. The core of money and grain scheduling.

So instead of arranging Chu Jiye in Kuaiji to force a position, but in reality he can only do some trivial matters of arresting rural bandits, it is better to give up this tasteless and use it in a more practical position.

The current situation in Jiankang is actually that Chu Chong and Zhuge Hui are in power, and each has a group of supporters.The two sides also took Jiankang as the boundary and arranged for each other. Cai Mo was arranged to go to Jinling because of his previous false remarks, which damaged his reputation. Liu Chao in the capital was also from Langya. And in charge of overseas Chinese county affairs.

The east of Jiankang is mostly occupied by the Qingxu family, so Chu Chong will naturally focus on managing the west of Jiankang, and recalling Chu Jiye to Xuancheng is an extremely important arrangement.Zhou Mo replaced Wei Chong as the guard, and began to vigorously rectify the guards with Stone City as the center.

Originally, Yu Yi in Liyang was also a force worth relying on, but Yu Bing's self-assertion before that made the Taifus extremely passive, and all parties were extremely dissatisfied.As the person in charge of the situation, even if Chu Chong wanted to ease the relationship, he had to consider the influence of other aspects, so he simply took back Xuancheng from Yu Yi's hands and put it in his own hands.

Regarding the cousin's arrangement, Chu Jiye was noncommittal.Probably because he was not at the right time, he still had some idealistic feelings, and felt that the most important thing right now was to cooperate with internal and external forces to restore Jin Zuo.

In this regard, he is more envious of his old friend Du He, who can show up in Jiangbei as he wishes, and since he has benefited from the family, it is rare for him to be free at this moment, he has to be bound by the family, and he has no objection to his cousin's arrangement room.

"There is one thing that I want to tell you first. In the coming year, Taichung will have stricter supervision on official affairs. At that time, there will be patrols visiting and even stationed in the county to strictly supervise government affairs. Those who neglect their duties will be immediately dismissed and punished. This time It will be presided over by Liu Shiyu of the Beijing government. I don’t need to say more about what kind of person he is. At that time, you must remember to check yourself. In addition, in the selection of entourage, morality should be the first priority, and when there are vacancies in various counties, they will be filled immediately. thing."

It is impossible for Taichung to not respond to such a big move in Xuzhou, Jiangbei, but if it is directly aimed at Xuzhou, it will inevitably become a battle of spirits, and it may not be able to gain an advantage.

The occurrence of the evil incident in Xuzhou is essentially Taichung's loss of control over local affairs. Therefore, if you want to ease or even completely eliminate it, you still need to make a fuss from the root cause and strengthen local control.But the current Jiangbei is a place that Taichung can't influence, so we can only consolidate Jiangdong counties first.

This was originally the step agreed upon by the Taiwanese assistants. First, consolidate the power of the central government, and then spread outward again, covering the entire Jiangdong, and then counter Jiangbei.

However, after Shen Weizhou took control of Xuzhou strongly, he also forced the Taiwan assistants to speed up their steps.The rectification of officials originally presided over by Chu Chong has already accumulated a lot of public grievances for him, but this time the action will be even bigger, and it is conceivable that there will be some backlash and riots.

In such a position, Chu Chong naturally wouldn't worry about the issue of public grievances, but there was also an issue of benefit distribution involved.So he had a brief meeting with Zhuge Hui, and decided that neither party would directly participate, but let Liu Chao, an upright person who was trying to restore imperial power, preside over it.

Although Liu Chao is a bit lonely and stern in temperament, he is beyond reproach in terms of personal morality, and he does not show favoritism or mercy.In the past, he was rejected and scattered because he was worried that his style would be too aggressive, or that he would disrupt the situation, but now he is suffering from a serious illness and is using strong medicine, good or bad, so there is no need to worry too much.

After Chu Jiye heard the words, he nodded, and understood that the so-called virtue comes first and fills in the gaps, which means that this time the entourage is selected, and the prestige of virtue is second. The one-time rectification of officials will strictly control counties and counties.

Regarding the rectification of officials next year, Chu Chong explained a lot. This is an important step in Taichung's countermeasure against Fangzhen.Although Duxia Suwei has undergone a round of purges in terms of high-level generals, the cohesion at the bottom is still worrying. It is a dream to use this to fight against the two powerful towns of Huainan and Xuzhou.Therefore, for the threat of Jiangbei's strong ministers, the key point is to solve it through government means.

No matter how domineering Shen Weizhou is, he has no way of commenting on how the Taiwanese assistants will govern.Even if a large number of Wu local officials will be cut off this time, the person who presides over this matter is an impartial and impartial Liu Chao. Even if Wu people suffer a lot because of this, it means that the quality of the officials themselves is extremely poor. It's not that the Taiwanese assistants deliberately suppressed it, and it didn't reach the level of Fang Zhenxing's persuasion.

So this time's plan is not a conspiracy to fight for power, but a real conspiracy.No matter how much emphasis is placed on frontier merits at present, it is impossible to completely ignore the corruption of Jiangdong officials.And how many of the current officials are diligent, responsible, clean and honest?
Even if some overseas Chinese will be injured by accident, but with other overseas Chinese groups coming in as substitutes, it will be able to unite some unsuccessful overseas Chinese and become a reliable force to strictly control Jiangdong.

Of course, the plan is good, just afraid of accidents.After talking about the formal affairs, Chu Chong pondered for a while and then said: "You are in Xuancheng, you might as well go see Yu Zhigong after government affairs. During this period, Liyang has many signs of stalking, I am worried about him There will be restlessness there."

When Chu Jiye heard this, he couldn't help being startled, and said in a shy voice: "Is the situation already in crisis? Liyang is now called Xihu, but in fact it has become an inner feudal clan, and there is no limit to intrusion. What are you doing? How can the audience sit back and watch such a rebellious behavior when you are so elbow-to-arm?"

Chu Chong smiled wryly after hearing the words, and didn't know how to explain it to Chu Jiye.Because of Yu Bing's incident, Taichung and Yu's family had a very unpleasant quarrel.

Although Yu Yi was not involved in this matter, his brother was still a little uncomfortable being manipulated like this, so he personally proposed to Taichung to suggest that Yu Bing be dismissed and sent to Jingzhou, and he himself would teach him a lesson.The implication is that their Yu family does not need outsiders to discipline them.

The empress dowager had to speak out to deal with this matter, and then Yu Yi sent troops to Hanzhong, temporarily unable to look east.Otherwise, Shen Weizhou alone would cause headaches for the Taiwan assistants, and if Yu Yi was added, they would be even more restless.

In the final analysis, this matter is also depressing. Shen Weizhou was the most ruthless person playing with Yu Bing last time, but the two towns still cooperated closely. Even Shen Yun from Nanyang led the crowd to Xiangyang to help Hanzhong, and there was no sign of tearing his face.On the contrary, the Taiwan assistants who responded passively were made to be human inside and out.

In any case, there was a rift between the two sides, and it was not easy for the Taifus to bully the Yu brothers.And Yu Yi took advantage of such a subtle opportunity to make small moves under Taicheng's nose, and the Taifus were afraid to ask in detail.

As for what he wanted to do, Chu Chong and the others were also full of worries, worried that Yu Yi would jump out and make trouble again.
