As soon as the world was unified, Zhao Yun was bedridden and died of illness in the winter of that year, one year longer than in history. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In February of the first year of the Huang Dynasty, Tian Feng, an important minister in the court, died of illness, and in the following years, the older generation of civil ministers and military generals died one after another.

During this time, Chen Zheng often heard bad news, and he also felt quite heavy in his heart.

It's just that what he doesn't know is that these civil servants and generals are much better than their fate in history.

Even Xu Huang, Gan Ning, and Zhang Liao, because of Hua Tuo's existence, lived many years longer than in history, saw the unification of the world, and completed the obsession in their hearts.

Today, the older generation is still alive in Chinese martial arts, and only Sima Yi and Chen Qun are still alive.

In addition, there is also Zhou Yu, the general of Eastern Wu, who is only in his fifties now, and is also very healthy because he often regulates his body.

After Lu Xun surrendered, he was also reused by Chen Zheng, and now he is not yet fifty years old, still young and strong.

After Zhang He, the general of Jizhou, surrendered to Chen Xu, although he did not make military achievements, but because of his reputation, he was later reused by Chen Zheng.

To this day, Zhang He is still alive.

Today's Sima Yi is deeply valued by Chen Zheng, and it can be said that the power is leaning towards the government and the opposition, and the Sima clan and many clans have also begun to flourish due to the stability of the situation in the world.

It's just that after so many years, because Chen Xu has laid a solid foundation, many poor scholars have appeared in Guanzhong.

Chen Zheng complied with Chen Xu's last wishes and promoted the scholars of the poor family, and many local grassroots officials were served by the scholars of the poor family.

As a result, many small and medium-sized scholars have also been curbed from developing.

During this period, advanced papermaking and movable type printing were widely promoted, resulting in the emergence of many books in Daqin.

Thanks to the abundance of cheap books, reading and learning Chinese is no longer just the privilege of the family.

Of course, while Chen Zheng promoted and released the book, he also encountered a lot of resistance, but in front of Daqin, the founding emperor, those who dissented became the ghosts of the sword.

Since then, the family family has known that Chen Zheng's determination to promote knowledge is intimidated by the strength of Great Qin, but he does not dare to have two hearts.

At the same time as the popularization of knowledge, the reform of the government was followed.

First of all, Chen Zheng abolished the system of three princes and nine secretaries, and according to the description in Chen Xu's pamphlet, after continuous consultation with Chen Qun and the ministers of the DPRK and China, he began to use the system of three provinces and six ministries.

Of course, the system of three provinces and six ministries of Great Qin is somewhat different from this system in later generations, and it can fully fit the current national conditions of Great Qin.

The birth of the system of three provinces and six ministries not only reduced the full strength of the courtiers, but also shared the pressure of the emperor's administration, and also promoted the centralization of power.

This system of three provinces and six ministries with the characteristics of Great Qin has been used for nearly a thousand years after continuous improvement, and then it was slowly abolished.

Not long after the reform of the imperial government, Chen Zheng once again promulgated the system of selecting talents through the imperial examination.

Compared with the disadvantages of the imperial examination system in later generations, the imperial examination system founded by Chen Zheng is more ancient.

Scholars who want to be promoted in the imperial examination cannot study to the death, but have to learn the six arts of the gentleman, especially the martial arts of riding and archery, which also accounts for a large proportion of the imperial examination.

What Chen Zheng said he wanted to cultivate was not the kind of scholar who could only shake his head but was powerless.

He said that the talents he wants are real talents, with talent, courage, martial arts, and courage.

Of course, this imperial examination system is too demanding.

In order to be able to select enough talents, Chen Zheng not only founded many universities, but also had different emphasis and classification when selecting talents.

To put it simply, it is equivalent to the sub-disciplines and majors of later generations.

However, if a scholar wants to enter the center of the imperial court, he must learn the six arts of a true gentleman, and he must pay far more than an ordinary scholar.

In this way, although the requirements for low-level talents are not very strict due to the emergence of sub-disciplines, it has also invisibly driven the social atmosphere.

Not only that, Chen Zheng also reused the talents of legalists, referred to the laws of the pre-Qin period, promulgated many laws, and combined them with Confucian theories to govern the world.

Moreover, Chen Zheng also inherited Chen Xu's original practice of leviing very heavy taxes on families and individuals who own land above the average level.

In this way, the annexation of land by the family was greatly curbed.

The measures implemented by Chen Zheng have an extremely powerful impact on the existing families of Great Qin.

Many families, big clans, and local leaders suddenly woke up when they realized the impact of various policies promulgated by the imperial court on their families.

When the interests of the family were trampled on, it finally caused a violent backlash.

In the first five years of the emperor's reign, Yizhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Jizhou all had scholars, gathering the remnants of the princes and raising troops to rebel.

For a time, Daqin, which had not been peaceful for a long time, was once again full of smoke.

However, Chen Zheng had been prepared for this situation, and he had been waiting for this inevitable rebellion for a long time.

Chen Jun, the king of Yan, Chen Ai, the king of Xiliang, Xu Xian, the general of Zhengnan, Deng Ai, the general of Zhengbei, and Jiang Wei, the general of Zhengdong, led the Great Qin Ruishi to quell the rebellion.

In just three months, all the rebels were exterminated, and countless families involved in them were exterminated.

The relationship between the big families has always been very close, and almost all of them are married.

Chen Zheng seized this opportunity and implicated many scholars who did not participate, including Zhong Xuan's family.

For a time, the blood in the territory of Great Qin was full of blood, and many big clans were either weakened or exterminated.

Under the butcher's knife of the Great Qin Ruishi, and under the barbaric iron horse, these great clans that have been inherited for a long time seem so fragile.

Chen Zheng is not fighting alone, Emperor Taizu Wu of Great Qin has left a rich family foundation for Chen Zheng, and there is the support of thousands of poor scholars.

When the short-lived rebellion was quelled and blood was scattered all over the land, many scholars from the Han family went to serve in the local area, and the imperial decrees were unimpeded.

Daqin, like a newborn rising sun, is full of vitality and vitality, and its rise is unstoppable.

Sima's mansion is magnificent.

Today's Sima clan is so famous in the world that even the original Yuan clan can't compare with it.

Sima Bada, each of them holds important positions in the court, and their heirs are naturally also officials in the court.

In addition, Sima Yi and Chen Zheng grew up together, and the relationship between the two is very close, and Sima Yi himself is even more talented.

Therefore, Chen Zheng's favor for Sima Yi is absolutely incomprehensible.

But today, the atmosphere in Sima Yi's mansion is not very good.

"Bang!"

Sima Yi smashed a vase to the ground.

He pointed to his son and shouted, "Tell me, why are there people from my Sima clan among the people who participated in the rebellion this time?" ”

Sima Yi's city mansion is extremely deep, but it has always seemed to be an ancient well.

But today, Sima Yi was furious, his face was a little distorted, and he looked at Sima Shi with hatred.

Sima Shi showed a look of horror on his face, lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty keeps weakening the strength of the family, and the family of the world is one. ”

"Even if our Sima clan is extremely prominent now, if it continues like this, one day the Sima clan will decline."

"The child originally thought that this time the world's big families were connected together, and they would definitely be able to subvert the Chen family's foundation."

"I never thought that I would be defeated!"

"Smack!"

Sima Yi stepped forward, slapped Sima Shi fiercely, and scolded: "There is more than enough success and more failure!" ”

"The first emperor fought in all directions, laid such a foundation from a commoner, and won the loyalty of countless people."

"Even if the emperor has passed away, he still favors his descendants and leaves an extremely rich family foundation, who can shake it?"

"What's more, do you think Your Majesty is the original Wang Mang? Do you think that the army in the hands of His Majesty is the original Wang Mang's army? ”

"Your Majesty is eloquent, wise and martial, and the Great Qin Ruishi under his command has inherited the strength of the Qin army, even when the princes were the strongest, they were still defeated and unable to form an army, let alone a rabble?"

Sima Yi was furious in his heart, and a slap slapped Sima Shi's face, leaving five red finger prints.

Sima Shi was terrified and didn't dare to say more.

slapped his son, Sima Yi was still angry, and lost his temper again, before walking back and forth in the house with his hands on his back.

After a long time, Sima Shi saw that his father's anger had stopped for a while, so he said cautiously: "Even if this rebellion is involving my Sima clan, with my father's position in His Majesty's heart, it should be easy to settle." ”

"Smack!"

Sima Yi slapped him again and shouted, "Do you think that my Sima clan is really very beautiful now?" ”

"Your Majesty's series of measures over the years have been aimed at curbing the family, and my Sima clan has now become the banner of the family."

"Your Majesty doesn't move us, because he cares about the old feelings, but I tremble every day, I don't dare to make the slightest mistake, and if I am not careful, I will never recover."

"But, but, but, but ......"

Sima Yi pointed to his son, but he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

After a long time, he sighed faintly.

After sorting out his thoughts, Sima Yi said: "I go to the palace once, whether the Sima family can be preserved depends on whether Your Majesty still cares about the old feelings." ”

After speaking, under Sima Shi's horrified gaze, Sima Yi strode out.

Sima Shi didn't expect that the matter would be so serious, and a trace of fear flashed in his heart.

In the palace, Chen Zheng looked at Sima Yi who was kneeling on the ground, and stepped forward to help him up.

"When the family is big, anyone may have it, but how can I not know Zhongda's loyalty to me?"

"That's it, Zhongda didn't want to go back to the fields."

Sima Yi came here, not only to apologize, but also to resign from all positions, and let many family members be the same as him.

Because Sima Yi knew that no one could change Chen Zheng's determination to weaken the family, if the Sima family did not want to be exterminated, he could only weaken the influence of the family.

In this way, Chen Zheng will not do anything to Sima because he cares about his old feelings.

Sima Yi said: "The guilty minister has made up his mind, and I hope that His Majesty will fulfill it." ”

Chen Zheng persuaded again and again, but Sima Yi insisted on resigning from all positions, and Chen Zheng had no choice but to agree.

After Sima Yi left, Jiang Wei quietly walked out from behind with some black-armored guards, and called softly: "Your Majesty! ”

Chen Zheng stroked his beard and said, "The Sima clan is too strong, if it is not weakened, it will be difficult to convince the public, since Zhong Da is so knowledgeable, this matter will be stopped." ”

Jiang Wei opened his mouth and wanted to admonish, but when he saw Chen Zheng's majestic face, he had to close his mouth.

He knew that Chen Zheng had a very deep affection for Sima Yi, and this kind of affection surpassed the feelings of monarchs and ministers, like siblings.

Otherwise, such a powerful family as the Sima clan would probably have disappeared long ago.

Sima Yi, who returned home, summoned all the clansmen who held important positions in the court by the order of the head of the family, and asked them to resign from their positions and retire to the fields.

Although everyone was puzzled, Sima Yi had a high prestige among the clan, so they could only do so, hang up the seal and leave.

On the eastern outskirts of Chang'an City, Sima Yi looked back at the city gate, and a look of reluctance flashed in his eyes.

"Hey!"

In the end, Sima Yi could only sigh helplessly, and took nearly a hundred families to ride an ox cart and slowly rushed towards Hanoi County.

The group had walked a distance when they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves.

Sima Yi hurriedly looked back, only to find that a biao cavalry was rushing towards this side, and he was immediately horrified.

"Stomp, stomp!"

The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and when Sima Yi saw the faces of the people who came, his face was even more earthless.

"Phew!"

The cavalry leader restrained his horse, his dark eyes were full of indifference, and all the Sima clan members were a little flustered when they saw this person.

Chen Mo, this executioner-like existence, I don't know how many families and entire clans have been exterminated over the years.

All the clansmen of the big family hated Chen Mo to the core, and wanted to kill him as soon as possible, but they never got their wish.

Chen Mo looked at the Sima clan who was slightly flustered, and said coldly: "The Sima clan colluded with the rebels and intended to rebel, all the soldiers listened to the order, and the whole army charged, leaving no one behind!" ”

"Drink!"

The elite knights in black clothes and black armor all shouted loudly when they heard Chen Mo's words, and began to charge.

"Wait!"

At this moment, Sima Yi stepped forward and shouted loudly.

Sima Yi has been in a high position for a long time, and his prestige in the court is very high, even if these knights have many people who know Sima Yi.

Therefore, when they saw Sima Yi walking to the front, they all subconsciously restrained the war horse.

Sima Yi didn't look at those soldiers, but instead focused on Chen Mo and asked, "I just want to know if this is an order from His Majesty, or if the general is making an assertion." ”

Chen Mo was silent.

After a while, he spoke: "Your Majesty cares about the friendship between you, and I can't bear to do it, as Your Majesty's courtier, I have been working for myself." ”

Although Chen Mo didn't say it explicitly, Sima Yi also heard the meaning, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty didn't fail me after all."

Chen Mo didn't continue to say more, raised the long sword in his hand, and shouted: "Kill!" Not a single one to stay! ”

"Kill!"

The knights began to charge, and Sima Yi stood at the front, the first to be overwhelmed by the charging cavalry, and fell in a pool of blood.

"Father, father, father!"

When Sima Shi saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but tear his eyes apart, and shouted loudly.

Sima Zhao even pulled out the sword in his waist and scolded loudly: "The Qin State is brutal, vain and murderous, and one day there will be retribution!" ”

"Chirp!"

Chen Mo shot an arrow, which hit Sima Zhao's throat, and said coldly: "Great Qin has the protection of the Yellow Sky, why fear retribution!" ”

A massacre, which did not last long at all.

Nearly 100 members of the Sima clan all died, and none of them survived.

Blood has stained the earth and the mountains and rivers red, but there is a brilliant and magnificent beauty. (To be continued.) )
