Chapter 601 The confidant enters the capital

In addition to Tang Chen in Yongzhou, there were also Mengguan in Jingzhou. In a few days, good news came from Yizhou in Guanzhong. It turned out that they might still be afraid of obeying the king of Yan, but there was no soldier in their prefectures and counties. The troops they could mobilize had already become Sima Ji's soldiers with Sima Ying's defeat.

It is impossible to raise food and grass to recruit strong men to start a war. Besides, if they do this, Sima Ji is very willing to let the soldiers and horses who originally belonged to Guanzhong kill each other. He is such a shameless vassal king, so he can definitely do it.

From the current perspective, except for the Zhang Chang Rebellion that has not yet subsided in Jiangnan, all other parties have surrendered. This kind of calm time does not take too long. As long as two years are enough, Sima Ji can adjust according to himself.

"Sima Teng, the governor of Yongzhou, has always been dissatisfied with the King of Yan and urged the generals to send troops to fight against the King of Yan. This time, Sima Teng was executed, and the King of Yan also lost one of his confidants." Tang Chen, who had just arrived in the capital in person, came over with Sima Teng's head and immediately came to Yong'anli without stopping, looking respectful.

"You are still so good at speaking after many years." Sima Ji flipped through the memorial sent by Shangshutai and said calmly, "I have been stationed in Hetao for several years. Are you interested in changing places to make achievements? Although I do not lack generals, I don't have many generals who know a little about the south, so I can only look for them from the imperial guards."

"South? Is it Jiangnan or Zhanzhou?" Tang Chen asked carefully when he heard this. If there was a rebellion now, it would of course be the Zhangchang Rebellion in Jiangnan. However, Tang Chen had never been to Jiangnan, but had only passed by once. Those who had been to the south were destroying Linyi and attacking Funan. He didn't know where Sima Ji was talking about for a while?

Sima Ji glanced at Tang Chen and said lightly, "It is the place where you followed me to conquer the south. Of course, before that, of course, we must also settle the Jiangnan. This is not a conflict at all. Now the national treasury is empty, and all the money, grain and cloth have been supplied to the army. We must settle the world immediately. At the same time, the soldiers in the army also need wealth. I have no choice but to rob it."

Tang Chen sighed inwardly that the King of Yan was still so real, and it was rare to say that he would go out and rob. He would of course have no problem asking him whether he would be willing or not. As long as he received the order to send troops, the question was whether the civil officials would object, and he said in a little embarrassed manner, "It is because the war in the Central Plains has just ended, and some court officials may not be willing to send troops at this time."

"A bunch of waste, I want to send troops to start a war, and I can gain wealth. Is these monsters the turn to oppose it?" Sima Ji said disdainfully, "Don't worry about this. If there is no problem, come back from Hetao immediately and lead the troops to kill the rebels in Jiangnan for me first. I have no time to pay attention to them. I really think that I can't do anything to them. All the soldiers surrendered on the battlefield will be sent to dig the canal. I can run once, and I can catch them for a second time. After my success, I will be rewarded."

"Tang Chen received the order!" Tang Chen was overjoyed when he heard this. He knew that Sima Ji did not have the habit of being appointed as officials indiscriminately. Even after entering the capital, he had heard that he would check the vassal kings who had previously regents and whether the rewards were met with certain standards.

This is true. After all, the prison guards of Youzhou, whom Sima Ji relied most, have arrived in Luoyang and are preparing to take over all the criminal departments. Even many internal officials have been promoted. The news of the establishment of the East Factory has spread among the court officials. Of course, the court officials have complained about this. Some rumors about the ten regular attendants have been spreading.

Unfortunately, they were shocked to find that there was no talented gentry in Sima Ji's Ba Mansion, and a ruling group based on military generals. After discovering this, they had two consequences. They had no channels to communicate with Sima Ji at all. The second point was that this Ba Mansion was not easy to mess with. They all came from military generals and had military power in their hands.

Of course, the gentry's high sects still have influence in the court, but under the premise of the existence of the tyrant mansion, they have become rubber stamps and their status is still high, but no one takes them seriously when speaking.

However, Tang Chen was wrong. Sima Ji was already preparing to adjust the ethnic minority issues within the Jin Dynasty. In his eyes, there were only three ethnic minorities that could make some moves. If the Xianbei population was not included outside the Jin Dynasty, there were actually only two, one was the defeated Xiongnu and the other was the Qiang people. As for the various barbarians in Ningzhou, southwest Yizhou, they naturally exist, but they could not be disrupted and could be used.

The leaders of the four Xianbei tribes were actually for the Yizhengs of the Southwest. The four Xianbei tribes were just the first batch. After expressing the attitude of the court, Sima Ji would try to let the Yizhengs of Ningzhou enter the capital to talk.

In fact, he was trying to change the land and return to the current, but he did not slowly grind against Ningzhou as long as the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Instead, he was preparing to change the method. The Central Plains had a stable control over Ningzhou. After all, the founders of the Chenghan regime, which separated Ningzhou from the court, had been killed by Sima Ji. Without chaotic situations and geographical obstacles, there was no need to re-establish an empire like the Tang Dynasty. When he turned around, he found a thing called Nanzhao appeared in Ningzhou.

Now that the civil strife is over, the gradual control of Ningzhou can continue, and it is clear who is the leader and who is the second. It is not as embarrassing as the Tang Dynasty attacked Nanzhao, and there is not even a group of people to guide the guide. Now Ningzhou is full of guides.

The leader of the Tuoba clan had not yet arrived at the capital, and Luo Yong, who had been in Bingzhou, had arrived first and also came to Yong'anli to report his work. "My subordinates have already implemented the order of Mount Closing, Migration Order and other Youzhou rules in Bingzhou, and they have encountered many resistances. However, the ministers have not taken action against the Wang clan of Taiyuan for the time being. After they let the Wang clan of Taiyuan be viewed, they deal with some local tyrants. At present, it is a Baojia system established to prevent the powerful from becoming bigger."

"You hold back at the Wang family in Taiyuan? Is it because of Shaoyi?" Sima Ji glanced at Luo Yong, pointed out the worry in the other party's eyes, and said leisurely, "But the matter is still within the controllable range. Once the people find that they only pay taxes to the court, they have to pay taxes to the court and the gentry, and they will naturally find ways to escape from the control of the gentry."

"It seems that the matter of the minister is not too bad." Luo Yong gave a breath in his heart and made a trepidation.
