As early as the Liaodong Army entered Hebei, they had carefully discussed how to treat the aristocratic tyrants in Hebei.

Although half of the people in this hall were from Shandong, Hebei, most of them were just small landlords. Although the Shangshu Zuo Pushe lived in Hebei for more than 20 years, he was actually from a member of Jiangnan. The Minister of Personnel Du Ruhui, the Minister of Revenue Gao Shilian, the Minister of Revenue Chang, the Minister of Rites Sun Wuji, the General Wang Rengong, and Luo Zhong were all from Guanlong nobles.

The only ones who came from Shandong, Hebei were the two officials in the court, namely the Shangshu Youpu Fang Xuanling and the Shangshu Zhongcheng Wei Zheng, were all small landlords who were passed down from family. Other generals in the court, such as Qin Qiong, and Cheng Yaojin were also descendants of small landlords and destitute officials.

Others such as Luo Shixin, Guo Xiaoke, Zhang Yong, Zhang Jin, and many other military generals are even from the bottom, either farmers or hunters. They do not have much feelings for the powerful people of the aristocratic race.

In the court, officials from the Hebei and Shandong clan who were truly in charge were the most powerful officials, namely the Hebei surrendered general Luo Yi and Xue Dingguo, who were the highest in the position, but they were all generals in the army and led troops outside. They had no right to speak in this kind of court politics.

After Chen Kefu asked this question, most of the ministers in the cabinet had nothing to do. After all, whether it was serious or light, it did not conflict with their own interests, and everything was just about the interests of the court.

However, among the crowd, Zuo Pushe, the head of the civil servant, changed color slightly. Although Chen Kefu's question just now was very plain, he had been with Chen Kefu for more than 20 years, and had sensitively felt Chen Kefu's determination from that dullness. Only when he had settled in his heart could he have such a dull question.

Mao Xi's heart was full of worries. Since Chen Kefu established Yang Gao as the emperor in Hebei, he and Chen Kefu have had slight cracks. Although he has been watching over 20 years, the one who is truly loyal to Mao Xi's heart is actually Chen Shen. Over the years, his watch on Chen Kefu is only obeying the entrusted Chen Shen to him.

Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, when facing the choice between Chen Kefu and Chen Shen, Mao Xi's heart was even more directed towards Chen Shen.

He felt that he was becoming less and less able to understand the young master. Since he secretly ran from the village to Liaodong to participate in the war, he had changed, and he became so strange. He never thought that one day, the young master would split everything in Jiangnan and give it up so easily and without any nostalgia. Although he also knew that the situation in Jiangnan was not as good as it was on the surface. But as a descendant of Nanchen and the son of Chen Shen, he only saw that Chen Kefu made a choice without hesitation, and even tried hard to change everything.

He suddenly remembered the poem that Chen Kefu had recited in Jundu before, "Count the romantic figures, look at the present day!" What was he thinking in his heart?

Thinking of Chen Kefu's increasingly tough style of conduct, he became more and more worried. He felt that he had changed. He had become a little too confident and had become conceited. As the head of the civil servants of the court, he had long seen that the chaos in Hebei's aristocratic clans was actually driven by the Lord's highness behind the scenes. All of this was done on purpose, with the purpose of eradicating these aristocratic clans.

He dug holes and set up traps bit by bit, and finally netted more than 90% of the aristocratic tyrants in Hebei, Shandong and other places.

Mao Xi suddenly realized that Chen Kefu must have already thought of a plan to deal with the aristocratic races in his mind. He spent so much energy to dig out such a big pit, and now he has put all the aristocratic races in the net. It is impossible for him to let them go so easily.

A chill rose in my heart.

Too cruel and too cruel.

Mao Xi, who has always respected the classics of Confucian sages, suddenly felt disappointed with Chen Kefu's scheming calculations. As a king, he should rule the world with benevolence and filial piety and govern the country with virtue. But now he feels that Chen Kefu is increasingly polite to be powerful, this is the case when fighting, and this is the case when treating foreign tribes. Now he treats the Hebei tribes who already belong to the people under the court. So when he wins the world, will he still treat the people in the world like this?

In this way, what is the difference between him and Yang Guang?

A lot of thoughts flashed through my mind, Mao Xi stepped forward with concern and said respectfully: "Your Highness, I think that the court should govern the country with benevolence and righteousness, especially during this war, and this is even more necessary. Only in this way can the court be demonstrated and the people can admire and convince the people. If you blindly pay attention to the strict laws, you will inevitably be in danger of everyone. If the court loses its hearts for a long time, the country will be out of power for a long time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Zheng immediately stepped out and said, "I think that the great cause has been in chaos for seven years, and the country and the court needs to rest and recuperate. I have caused the prime minister to do what the court wants to do now. I think it is rest and recuperate. Blind killing will not solve the problem. On the contrary, if the court punishes lighter this time, then if there is the previous thunderous anger and then the court will be given a lighter punishment, then it will be the court's grace. In this way, the world will be returned to the hearts and the place will be stable. Only when the people's hearts and the place will be stable can the production, national strength and strengthen the strength of the court."

"After seven years of great cause, conquests continued. Now the court urgently needs to unify the world. To unify the world, we must pacify the people and rest and recuperate. The new republic is about to be the new republic. However, the court's people are insufficient and the national strength is not strong. Therefore, if we want civil governance, the law must be lenient, kind, and simple. I think that in the face of chaos, the first thing is education. As for the law, we can only seek justice."

Chen Kefu sat there with a look of silence and did not comment on right or wrong.

Du Ruhui, Minister of Personnel, came out and bowed respectfully and said: "I do not agree with the intention of Prime Minister and Wei Zhongcheng. If you want to govern the country in a civil manner, it must be after the chaos. If today is divided and there are great wars between all parties, at this time, the court should use thunder means and suppress any attempt to cause rebellion without mercy. Only iron and toughness can show the determination of the court and restrain those forces with ill-hearted intentions. If this is punished lightly, then the court's previous big move will undoubtedly be loud and the raindrops are small. At that time, these rebels will think that the court can be weak and bullied. Not only will they not be grateful, but they will also arouse their ambitions. Therefore, I think that this rebellion must not only be heavily blamed, but also need to be punished in a severe manner."

"In the opinion of the minister, all the heads and backbone members of the rebellious aristocratic tyrants need to kill nine of their clans and confiscate their property. In addition, all the powerful members of the aristocratic tyrants who are aristocratic tyrants must be beheaded and displayed in public. Even those who are aristocratic tyrants must be exiled and confiscate their property!"

"Hiss!"

As soon as Du Ruhui's iron and harsh handling method was proposed, several people immediately took a breath.

This time, the powerful rebellion of aristocratic clans basically more than 90% of the aristocratic clans in Hebei and Shandong and other places rebelled. And more than 70% of the local tyrants also rebelled, even more than half of the small landlords in the countryside were rebellious. In addition to these leaders, the number of farmers and aristocratic clan slaves who were voluntarily and unvoluntarily carried on rebellion was even more amazing. In the four counties such as Yuyang alone, there were only 200,000 riots gathered. If their families were included, the number of people involved in these four counties could reach 600,000 to 700,000.

The rebels in Yuyang are only one. If the rebels in Hebei, Shandong and Huaibei are combined, the number of people can reach one million. And the total number of people involved will definitely reach three to four million.

According to statistics from the court, the total population of the three places in Hebei, Shandong and Huaibei is only about 20 million. With the reduction of wars for years, the population of these three places, even the counties that have not yet been recovered, is less than 20 million.

If Du Ruhui really did what he said, the population under the entire imperial court would immediately reduce by one third, which was more than the number of people who had reduced their vocations in the wars and storms in the past seven years since the seven years of Daye. How can they not be surprised?

Even Chen Kefu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. If he really did this, I'm afraid that he would lose all his heart by then.

"After three generations, people have become more and more cunning, so the Qin Dynasty only relies on the law to rule. Although the Han Dynasty talks about the kingly way, but with the domineering way, it seems that they want to educate, but the education cannot be achieved. Is there anyone in the world who can do it without doing it? A scholar like Wei Zheng does not know the current affairs. If he believes in his false arguments, he will definitely corrupt the country. I advocate strict discipline and severe punishment." Lu Guangli, an old minister of the Chen family and the Minister of Justice, came forward and said.

Wei Zheng shook his head, "In the past, Huangdi conquered Chiyou, Gaoyang conquered Jiuli, Shang Tang king exiled Jie of Xia, and Zhou Wu conquered King Zhou of Shang, all of them could achieve peace in the world. The people were still those people, and turned into great chaos into great rule. Didn't the Five Emperors and the Three Emperors achieve education?"

Chen Kefu nodded with a smile, and many ministers in the pavilion clapped and attached themselves.

"We should use heavy dictates in troubled times. What Du Shangshu said is not wrong, but heavy, and there is a boundary. As early as the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, the court had abolished the corporal punishment. Therefore, we should not deal with it too harshly, but we should not deal with it lightly as Wei Zheng said. Slight and serious punishment are all within the thoughts of the court, but the court must also be cautious and cautious.'

‘In order to manage chaos, we should use heavy rules, and after chaos, we should appease the world with kindness and virtue.’

Chen Kefu stood up and stood with his hands behind his back. "The rebellion of the Hebei family is very serious and has a very bad impact. If the court had not been prepared for it, our court would have probably had to retreat to Liaodong. I just ask all the ministers, if this aristocratic rebellion, we will lose in the end. How do you think those aristocratic families will deal with us?"
