Chapter 510 Chen Mo: I want to ask for orders to resume the imperial examination

Returning to Yaoer City, Chen Mo received unprecedented love from the people.

Chen Mo also deserves their love.

Not only did he avenge them and drive away the Jinxia barbarians, he also gave them money and food, without exploiting or bullying them in the slightest.

In the eyes of the people, Chen Mo is a good man.

Chen Mo looked at the cotton-padded clothes handed over by the people and was extremely touched in his hands.

This cotton-padded coat was not new. On the contrary, it was extremely worn and unsightly. It was covered with patches and there were bloodstains that could not be washed away. But looking at the thin figure of the people wearing the cotton-padded coat, Chen Mo could guess that this cotton-padded coat would For this common man, it is probably a valuable asset.

But now, he gave this precious wealth to himself.

Chen Mo originally wanted to return the cotton clothes to the people, but seeing the people's expectant eyes, he chose to accept it and turned to Sun Meng to give him money and food compensation.

The army was resting in Yao'er City, and Chen Mo issued a death order. The soldiers were not allowed to interfere with the normal life of the people, and were not allowed to take away any needle or thread from the people.

Hearing this, Xia Zhining's eyes flickered, her narrow beautiful eyes stared at Chen Mo, and after a long time, she said: "You want to change everything?"

After Chen Mo was silent for a while, he nodded and said, "I want to end this terrible world."

Chen Mo sighed and said, "Zhining, what did you see while going north?"

And also out of his own "control".

"After I return this time, I will ask the imperial court for orders to reduce or reduce taxes in the north and resume the imperial examination." Chen Mo said.

But when I returned to Sou'er City today, when the people took off their cotton-padded clothes and handed them to me, I was still touched. They just want to live, but suffering comes to them again and again. "

Only those who have been trained and appointed by oneself can rest assured.

Xia Zhining raised her eyebrows slightly and put an end to the troubled times. That was basically what the founder of the country wanted to do.

"Speaking of which, my initial thought was just to protect my sister-in-law and live a better life, and I didn't want to be the shitty prince I am now. But reality has forced me to this point." Chen Mo said.

"???"

"What's wrong?" As she asked, Xia Zhining held Chen Mo's feet and put them into the hot water in the tub.

Although the imperial court had long issued a decree, allowing Chen Mo to do things conveniently in the north, which naturally included appointing and removing officials, but the entire north, including Qingzhou, has nine states and hundreds of counties. How many officials are needed?
If we continue to use the previous officials, it won't change much.

The next second, Chen Mo said to himself: "I saw the suffering of the people's livelihood and the decline of the population. I saw the dilapidated houses, the homeless people, and the uncollected corpses on the roadside. I thought I have been used to seeing this for a long time, and my heart is numb.

With that said, he put it at Chen Mo's feet and helped him take off his shoes.

Xia Zhining didn't understand what Chen Mo meant.

Xia Zhining did not finish speaking, but raised her head and stared at the man in front of her, feeling that his image had become much more majestic at this moment.

"Select talents and restore order in the north." Chen Mo said.

Xia Zhining originally thought that Chen Mo would take the opportunity to do something to her, but the other party did not act. When she looked up, she found that there was something on his face.

"Reinstate the imperial examination?" Xia Zhining was stunned. Tax reduction and exemption is a good thing for the people. What is the purpose of reinstating the imperial examination?

In the military tent, Xia Zhining walked in with a basin of hot water and said softly: "I'll give you a basin of hot water to soak your feet."

Recently, Xia Zhining has become rare in serving.

The restoration of the imperial examination can only be effective if the imperial court issues an order.

If he privately resumed the imperial examination in the north, it would be trespassing and contempt for the imperial court.

And he still needs the banner of the imperial court.

"Oh."

Xia Zhining is half-informed. In this regard, she is not as good as her sister. At this moment, Sun Meng's voice sounded outside: "Master Hou, it's bad, something happened."

Xia Zhining quickly stood up and stepped aside.

Chen Mo said: "Come in and talk."

Sun Meng came in, bowed and said, "Master Hou, urgent news from Yuzhou. The Jinxia Army has captured Shuofei County. Our army has suffered nearly two thousand casualties. General Yue was injured and has now retreated to Li County."

Hearing this, Chen Mo, who was soaking his feet, suddenly stood up. He didn't even bother wiping his feet or anything. He stepped out of the tub and took the urgent message from Sun Meng with his bare feet.

After reading the contents of the letter, Chen Mo's face suddenly darkened, and murderous intent burst out in his eyes, and he said: "Pass my general's order, and in a quarter of an hour, the army will set off on time."

"promise."

……

And when Chen Mo led his troops to rush back to Yuzhou.

News about Chen Mo's capture of Haiyan Pass and the rescue of tens of thousands of Song Dynasty people spread throughout the world.

Before, it was only spread on a small scale, and only some powerful and thoughtful people knew about it.

But now, the people all know it.

For a time, the whole world looked at him with side eyes and burst into admiration.

Chen Mo, who had just regained Youzhou and became famous, was once again cast in the light of righteousness.

The people of Qingzhou, Yu, Lin and Huaizhou all have a bright face, especially the people of Qingzhou. Everyone says that Chen Mo is from Qingzhou. Some people even boast that they are from the same village as Chen Mo. Growing up naked.

The literati in the four states worked hard to write articles and poems to promote Chen Mo's great achievements and praise Chen Mo's greatness.

With this momentum, Chen Mo instantly became the target of people's pursuit.

They didn't know the emperor of Luonan, but they knew Chen Mo of Qingzhou.

Yuzhou.

Wanyan Xiaji led the army to conquer Li County, and Chen's army retreated to Qingshan Town.

Wanyan Xia Ji could tell that Chen Jun was stalling for time with him, running away if he couldn't fight, and not fighting him head-on.

And he also knew what happened in the north of the Song Dynasty, and knew that Chen Jun in Yuzhou was waiting for Chen Mo to return.

And he knew that the news that Haiyan Pass was captured by Chen Mo came with the decree.

While he was in Li County, he received a withdrawal order from Jinxia Khan.

original.

After Chen Mo led his army to capture Haiyan Pass, Tuoba Hui immediately panicked after receiving the news.

Fearing that Chen Jun would take advantage of the situation and attack directly, Jin Xia did not have many troops in the north, and due to certain internal factors, for the sake of safety, Tuo Bahui ordered Wanyan Xiaji to withdraw his troops and return for reinforcements.

On top of Li County's city wall, Yue Puzi looked at Wanyan Xia Ji, who was looking sad. After careful consideration, he said: "General, the so-called general will not accept the orders of the foreign king. This Chen Jun of Yuzhou is not our opponent at all. If we want to In a short time, our army will surely capture Yuzhou and capture Yue Ruyan.

Although Chen Mo led the army to capture Haiyan Pass, with his few troops, he did not dare to go deep into our country alone. In the end, he had to retreat from Haiyan Pass, and the general did not need to return reinforcements at all. "

Yue Puzi could see this, and so could Wanyan Xiaji.

Moreover, he dared to pat his chest and guarantee that the Chen army led by Chen Mo would definitely retreat when they stopped at Haiyan Pass.

But he is no Khan.
