By June, the Qing Dynasty in the capital had reached a critical point. After all, even if you complain and vomit for nearly half a year, you really can't vomit, and there are no new topics that can attract people's attention.

And the original noisy voices have gradually concentrated on a few topics. In the first place is the contradiction between the north and the south, which is entangled in the distribution of local real capital.

The so-called world, the position and the old hope are only one aspect, only the shade and the land are the real foundation of the family. However, this is exactly what many overseas Chinese surnames in the north lack, and a large number of overseas Chinese surnames came to the south, no matter how deep the foundation in the township was in the past, they had to start from scratch when they arrived in Jiangdong.

The Zhongxing system has been established for decades, but there are actually only a handful of overseas Chinese surnames who can really stand in Jiangdong, and they are nothing more than those old Yuefu teams who occupied political positions in Nandu at the beginning. Similar to the new upstart Henan Chu clan and the like that are rising today, their standing is fundamentally inferior to that of the ordinary Tuzong in Wuzhong.

No matter how much the world worships the mystical and the void, the premise is that there will be so many spiritual pursuits only if you have enough to eat. Similar to Chen Liuruanfu's golden mink for wine, it is indeed free and easy, but the problem is that not everyone can have golden mink. Seeing that many villagers who are dependent on the south are struggling to make a living, they are gradually falling apart, and the portal is almost destitute, they can't eat, and they still drink!

Among the many overseas Chinese families, the families who fled to the left side of the capital are lucky, with the earlier Yinjue operation, they can still maintain the basic living expenses, and there is even no shortage of extremely wealthy people. However, as the Wuzhong Business Alliance gradually gained a firm foothold in Beijing, they became less and less dependent on them, and their lives gradually became embarrassed.

The gathering point of overseas Chinese from the south is far more than Beijing, and almost all important towns along the river have this kind of family. Whether they are ministers in the north or a giant in the township, they now have to face a dilemma where their family business has nowhere to rely on and food and clothing are unsustainable.

In the original history, these people were channeled to Huiji and other places in the land of Sanwu in large numbers, and were able to recuperate, which objectively also promoted the comprehensive development of the south.

But now, Wu Zhong is not originally a plate of scattered sand, he has already been connected into a whole, and even just killed Wang Shu of the Langya Wang family. Even if these people still have the idea of going south, but now that the ironclad facts are in front of them, even if they are allowed to go south, they may not dare!

If Shen Zhezi has made any achievements in the past few years, the biggest achievement is to completely cut off the foothold of these overseas Chinese in Jiangdong! Lost the Central Plains and then gained a foothold in Gou'an in the south? Don't take advantage of the cheap!

Even if Jiangdong is still vast and sparsely populated, even if the large-scale development of the south is far away, what does it matter? Today, the dilemma of the whole world is by no means that the development of Jiangnan is insufficient, but that the Hulu in Jiangbei is raging! If you can't defend the land and refuse to obey, then wait for death along the river! Killing people is a waste of energy, so why just watch these ignorant people reap the consequences.

And the Wu people's clear-cut strategy of defending the territory, at least in recent years, is morally blameless. Because their contribution to the current situation is really great, not to mention anything else, just the year before last, Su Jun made a rebellion, and the Wu people sacrificed their financial resources to support the imperial court in Beijing to create a counterinsurgency platform, and even the recovery of Gyeonggi was fake in the hands of the Wu people. What's more, almost every brick and tile of today's Xindu embodies the financial and material resources of the Wu people!

Of course, the most important thing is that Shen Chong and the Dongyang Army behind him are already strong enough to influence the situation, and even see the center! In other words, if Taichung has a clear banner to remove Shen Chong and disintegrate this alliance of the Wu people, then the Wu people will stand on their own in the southeast every minute without any pressure!

Therefore, it is difficult for overseas Chinese to make their own lives and stand on their own in Jiangdong, and this problem can no longer be pinned on the oppression and persecution of the Wu people, and a new solution must be found. Otherwise, the entire situation along the river will be unstable!

Originally, in history, the sharp contradiction between the north and the south was alleviated through the political suppression of the Wu people and the encroachment of the countryside, but now, the invasion is powerless, and they don't want to die either to the north or the Northern Expedition to create a situation.

Therefore, in the end, this issue was discussed, and it was still focused on the weakness of the imperial court's operation in Jiangbei, which could not provide people with a sense of security, and wanted to resolve the people's grievances and stabilize the people's hearts, but in the end they could only put it into the military, either to the south or to the north. At the moment, the current situation is that if you really fight south, whether you can succeed or not is another matter, I am afraid that the overseas Chinese sect itself has already split internally.

One day in early June, the emperor, accompanied by the princes of Taifu, met and feasted in Jianping Garden to entertain the sages of the north and south. Because the scale of this Qing meeting is already large, the scene on this day is really not small. Thousands of people arrived, plus more than 10,000 guards to maintain order, it was impossible to arrange a single Jianping Garden, and even requisitioned many mansions and manors in the vicinity.

The large number of participants is a good sign in itself. Because to be honest, Emperor Yuan's lineage, as the orthodoxy, is actually not what everyone expects. Today's scene is an unprecedented event since the Nandu, which shows that the legitimacy has been greatly strengthened. This is especially rare after experiencing repeated turbulences, especially after the two rebellions of Wang Dun and Su Jun.

Another highlight is that several important Fangzhen were attended, Shen Chong of Dongyangzhou, Yuzhou Yuyi were all present in person, Tao Kan, who monopolized Jingyang, also sent several sons and nephews to come, and Xuzhou Xi Jian also sent his son and several important subordinate officials into the capital. Most of the remaining large and small counties, with the exception of remote areas under their jurisdiction, were sent to the country.

For this point, the young emperor still didn't have a special feeling, but he felt that there were too many people to kowtow to meet, and the whole ceremony was long and cumbersome, which directly delayed his earlier agreement with Shen Zhezi to go to see a few female relatives in the alternate backroom.

As for the princes of Taiwan, they are really a little ecstatic. Especially Chu Yu, who is newly in power, is already worried in his heart, worried that he will not be able to control the scene, if Fang Zhen is not present at that time, it will be too embarrassing for him to be in power. Unexpectedly, the scene was far bigger than expected, which was really an unexpected joy.

Because there were too many internal and external subjects attending the banquet, the problem of the collective absence of the Langya Wang clan, which was still a little abrupt, no longer seemed so eye-catching.

In this huge hall, Shen Zhezi was fortunate to have a seat. As the Eastern Cao Peng, after the emperor received the internal and external courtiers later, he and all the subordinate officials of the public government went forward to recommend the sages in the opposition selected in this Qing meeting.

Once these well-known people accept the call-up, then it is not a simple secretary or a writer who can be dismissed, but it is also possible to directly rise to 2,000 stones. For example, Yin Hao, who was originally in history, lived in seclusion for more than ten years, and as soon as he came out of the mountain, he was the assassin of Yangzhou and entered Taiwan to govern. And the channel followed was not a long-standing conscription, but the emperor personally issued an edict to prepare a ceremony and hired, which can be described as a great honor. Therefore, for those who have high hopes, it is actually a trivial matter to be in Taiwan and in the opposition.

However, now Yin Hao does not have this kind of good luck, and he is still imprisoned in the Xunyang Taokan army. As for Zhou Fu, who killed his uncle Yin Xian, he was listed in the list of merits submitted by Jingzhou this time. Therefore, although Yin Xian's crime has not yet been determined, Yin Hao is destined to be a criminal and will inevitably be imprisoned for a long time. Unless there is a strong man to use it, but this is almost impossible, after all, there is still a difference between imprisonment and seclusion, and the Chen Jun Yin clan is not an irreplaceable portal.

Although Director Wang left, it was difficult for Shen Zhezi to fully grasp the right to speak on the recommendation. Not to mention Liu Chao and Peng Chengwang, the two temporary bosses, just in the public mansion, he, Dong Cao Peng, is ranked after five or six. But in this situation, who would be happy to be embarrassed by him?

Therefore, this time, a total of sixteen Shi Xian were selected to recommend, in addition to a few of them who were indeed unstoppable and unstoppable, such as Lushan Zhai Tang and other high sages, eight of the people recommended by Shen Zhezi finally fell on the final list. Among them, there are clansmen from Jiangxia Gongwei Chong, Huijiyu, Wei and other families, and one is Yingchuan Chen Gui.

As for the Shen family, this issue is inevitably a bit heavy. No matter how thick-skinned Shen Zhezi is, he doesn't feel that his family is really qualified to enter the clan from this way, and it is needless to humiliate himself. His family is not uncommon at all, and of course even if it is rare, there is no way.

The ceremony, which was already lengthy, was delayed a lot of time because of Yu Yi's recital. Yu Yi also held his breath for more than two years, and directly submitted the strategic plan for recovering compound fertilizer through this ceremony.

Originally, this kind of ceremony was supposed to be a formality, and this kind of military affairs are really not easy to talk about. But the Yu family has also been attacked in the past two years, and it is understandable that Yu Yi wants to make a splash. Of course, he was not blindly reckless, and he made a decision after listening to Shen Zhezi's summary and insight into the people's customs.

Despite this, there was a debate in the hall, but no one expressed strong opposition, only fearing that the national strength would not be enough. However, under the arguments of Yu Yi, the plan was also approved. As for the specific strategic deployment, it naturally cannot be discussed here.

After receiving the ministers, it was the central officials of the states and counties who came forward to salute. By the time Shen Zhezi and the others stepped forward to promote Shi Xian, it was already evening. Some of the people on these lists were present, and the emperor issued an edict to receive them, and they came to the front one after another, including Yingchuan Chen Gui.

When Chen Gui stepped forward to meet him, he walked past Shen Zhezi's seat, and he couldn't help but cast a grateful gaze. Although the Yingchuan Chen clan was old and prosperous, it is now really weakened to an extreme. If it weren't for Shen Zhezi to say hello, maybe it would have been difficult for Chen Gui's uncle and nephew to even leave Guangling, let alone get such a fast track to use the opportunity for promotion!

For the gratitude of the stereotype, Shen Zhezi is naturally well-deserved. Although the stereotype can get this opportunity, it is mainly his old voice. But now there are more people with old voices, and if there is no help from Shen Zhezi, it will not be the turn of the queue. And even if Chen Gui was able to enter the office, Shen Zhezi planned to arrange it by his side and cross the river with him later.

For the vast majority of people, this is naturally a long-awaited and rewarding day. But for the emperor, it was inevitably a bit boring. Although Director Wang is gone, it does not mean that his monarchy can be asserted, and his main task today is to be a mascot to watch people step forward and retreat. As for the personnel changes and situation adjustments involved in the internal situation, it is the result of internal and external coordination.

Therefore, at the end of the whole day's ceremony, the emperor, who was originally drowsy and even took a few naps, became energetic again, and immediately called Shen Zhezi after leaving, and his tone was full of excitement: "Brother-in-law, when will we leave?" I can't take it anymore! ”
