Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 240 Looking for someone all the way, no one dares to stand out

The news that Jiang Yi's chess game was broken spread to a wider area following Jiang Yi's reputation.

As loud as the reputation of Mr. Yiyan was, the news would spread quickly.

By the next day, the news spread throughout the city, and even the prince who was about to set off knew the details.

This prince is none other than King Langya of Kaiyang County. Before Chen Zhi and Jiang Yi met, he had planned to go north to Linyi. However, it is not that simple for a prince to leave, not to mention that this prince has just returned from his trip. So Jiang Yi was already on the road, and King Langya was still making preparations, so when he received the news, he was very surprised.

"Jiang Yi's chess game was broken so quickly?"

With his position and knowledge, of course he could see the meaning behind it, and immediately laughed.

"As expected of Chen Zhi, it's really surprising. Jiang Yi has lost face now, but he walked in a hurry and fast. I wonder what Jiang Yi would think if he received such news halfway, and whether he would Keep challenging that Hun."

"Your Majesty, why don't you meet Chen Zhi first," a fair-faced and beardless man beside the prince reminded him, "He broke Jiang Yi's chess game and his reputation spread. Jiang Yi had many plans in advance. There is no one else in the limelight in Kaiyang. Chen Zhi broke his chess game and can take advantage of the situation. No one will think that Chen Zhi is relying on power."

"Oh?" The young prince was stunned for a moment and asked with a smile, "That's not right. Usually when you talk, it's to persuade the lonely king. Why did you become more active when you came across Chen Zhi's matter? Is there any news in the capital? Did it come?"

The fair-faced and beardless man lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, it is better for you to meet Chen Zhi than to go to Linyi in person. There are many Hu tribes gathering in Linyi at this time. These people are all barbarians who drink hair and drink blood. They are uncivilized, and some of them are Brutal man, you are worth a thousand dollars, how can you get involved lightly? What if something bad happens? Those barbarians have no regard for propriety, justice and shame!"

After he said this, King Langya frowned a little, but he continued: "It's best not to go to such a dangerous place. Besides, Linyi is just Wangjiawenhui after all, how can it be compared to Xing Forum? You meet Chen Zhi and get close to him. When Chen Zhi goes to the north, everyone will know that it is the prince's preference. If he has any achievements, it will also help to improve the prince's popularity. "

"Stop talking about this," King Langya became a little impatient, "If you use these words to deceive me, it won't work..."

When the fair-faced and beardless man heard this, he quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

The young prince waved his hand: "King Gu is not blaming you, but when I was in the capital, I also met many barbarians. Even Liu Yuan also came to visit. Although I was young, I heard what the teachers and others said about him. Among his sons, there are many who are well-read in poetry and literature. After all, Chen Hou’s policy included the theory of converting barbarians with Chinese, advocating for them to naturalize and learn the culture of the Central Plains. Otherwise, where would the Hu people come from? How could such a person still be able to survive? Is there anything rude? There will be no danger."

As soon as he said this, the fair-faced and beardless man had no way to refute and could only sigh.

Then King Langya said: "As for Chen Zhi, he has disappeared for now. King Gu thinks that he is more than that, so it is better to wait and see what happens. By the way, I will bring him the chess record that broke the game later, so that I can appreciate it." Fan, that’s right, let’s invite Xie Pe. His chess skills are superb, so he can definitely see more subtleties.”

While the prince was talking about Chen Zhi, there was another conversation about Chen Zhi, but the content was obviously different——

In another corner of Kaiyang City, there is a rather quaint-looking house.

Compared with the surrounding yards, this house is much smaller and does not occupy much land. The people around it are rich and noble. Compared with these people, this house pales a lot.

However, if you walk into the courtyard, you will find that the layout of the courtyard is exquisite, and there are many objects placed along the way. If you look at any one of them carefully, you can see the ancient atmosphere, and you can see that they are all objects with extraordinary origins.

At this time, in the middle room of the backyard, Zhu Shou's nephew Zhu Jing was sitting in front of a thin man, talking incessantly. The content of his words was nothing more than the wanton behavior of Chen Zhi and others. Things, there is a hint of provocation in the words.

After he finished speaking, he continued: "Brother Sima, Chen Zhi, Zuo Qing and others have no respect for their predecessors, and they have slandered people like Lingzu. How can they just ignore them?" , I know that you have a close relationship with King Donghai and King Langya, and you have many friends in the court. If you can come forward, you can teach Chen Zhi and others a lesson." As he spoke, he showed an embarrassed expression and said : "Besides, you and I are as close as brothers, so I won't hide it from you. Chen Zhi and others were disrespectful to me, and Zuo Qing even got into trouble with me many times. Now the few of them rely on a little network of connections. , they don’t take me seriously anymore, so I went to my brother’s door, hoping that you could vent my anger for me, but having said that, what I said before is also true.”

Opposite him, the thin brother Sima listened quietly without saying a word. When Zhu Jing finished speaking, he pondered for a moment before saying: "Brother Zhu, if we talk about power, the land of Qingzhou can be compared with General Zhonglang. There are only a few. Now Dongpinghou is going north to quell the rebels, which is vaguely echoing the Northern Expeditionary Army. He will not return to the army in a short time. In this way, your uncle is the real powerful figure. Why should you sacrifice the near and seek the far away? I can also hear it. , you’ve met a lot of people along the way.”

"Don't mention this!" Zhu Jing suddenly showed an angry look, "I don't know how many connections Chen Zhi had to rely on to actually leave his name with my uncle. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I don't want to trouble my uncle. Of course. , if there is really no other way, then we can only ask his old man to come forward. My uncle will definitely not ignore my affairs just because of someone we have friendship with. "

Brother Sima still pondered, and then asked: "Brother Zhu, you have been in Kaiyang for two days, and you should have heard of Chen Zhi's name. He first forced the Huns back with words, and now he has defeated Young Master Yiyan." The chess game is in the spotlight. From the government to the palace, from the aristocratic families to the common people, everyone knows about him. How can I help you in this situation? You and I are more like brothers, and I won’t hide it from you. This matter is really There is nothing I can do to help.”

"Brother Sima, why do you even say that!" Zhu Jing suddenly looked disappointed, and even more impatient.

Brother Sima didn't wait for him to say anything, he sighed and said: "There are several other people who came with Chen Zhi this time. Let's not talk about the Liu family and the Zuo family. Let's just say that Zhao Xing is a meritorious person. Later, Tao Ya was the nephew of Tao Kan from Jiangdong. Tao Gong was famous all over the world and was the pillar of the South. And Lu Ying was a descendant of the Lu family and an outstanding contemporary. He went out to study, but he hadn't come yet. Earlier, There are rumors that if we deal with Chen Zhi, we will have to deal with these three people. If we are not careful, all the forces behind us will be involved. It is not a trivial matter. How can we act rashly?"

At this point, he paused, looked at Zhu Jing, and said in a sincere tone: "It is because of our close relationship that I made it clear that Chen Zhizi cannot move."

Zhu Jing suddenly frowned and lowered his voice: "Brother Sima, the imperial court has given preferential treatment to your family, but it is just for one Chen Zhi. Just make it clear afterward. There will be no future trouble."

Brother Sima smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Brother Zhu, things are not as simple as you think. Back then, in order to win people's hearts, my Sima family got a title, and there were many words of exoneration. It seemed like a good thing, but in fact, over the years, My ancestors all walked on thin ice. You see, I have done ridiculous things before, but they were all pardoned in the end. It was just a way to slander myself to appease the emperor. The choices were all insignificant. Now that Chen Zhi is involved in several companies, how can I dare to interfere so easily? "

His words were sincere, but they could not convince Zhu Jing. The latter's face was full of displeasure, the closeness on his face almost disappeared, and he remained silent. Everyone could see the meaning.

Brother Sima could only sigh and said tentatively: "Brother Zhu, do you know that in the past two days, Chen Zhi broke the chess game..."

"It's just a chess game, little Doyle, what can you say?" Zhu Jing said as if he didn't care, "We men are just like our predecessors, and we are marching to the frontier, so what's the point of playing chess? I really can't understand. Why are the people in this city so respectful? I can kill this person with chess skills with just one hand!"

"Because the affairs of this world are not limited to soldiers and horses. You are a noble person and can access the path of soldiers and horses. But how can ordinary people have such access? Besides, they should have some fun in their daily lives. I want to come to peace. This is how the world is, and this is why Shou Tan Tao was born." Brother Sima still shook his head, knowing that everything he said was useless, but he still tried his best to express his attitude, "Now that Chen Zhi has broken the situation, the embryonic form of the general trend has emerged. I heard that people have already Prepare your carriage and horses, and you will go north in the next two days. As long as there is a little movement on his way north, he will definitely become famous. Since this man still has friendship with General Zhonglang, why should Brother Zhu embarrass him? "

"After all, are you unwilling to help?" Zhu Jing stood up straight away, "I still don't believe it. A mere Chen Zhi has no official position, which means he has a bit of reputation. I found it all the way. Why are you alone? You don’t even dare to offend him. You don’t dare to offend him, so you dare to offend me? Okay, okay! Only today do you know your true face!”

After saying this, he turned around and left without paying any attention to the boy who came to serve tea.

Seeing his retreating figure, Brother Sima shook his head.

"Brother Zhu, it is General Zhonglang who others dare not offend, not you. You are taking advantage of the situation, and he, Chen Zhi, has already begun to gather momentum!"

After thinking about it, he glanced at the confused boy and ordered: "If the news of Zhu Jing's arrival is leaked, don't make it self-defeating. Someone will send Chen Zhi a name card and tell him that I, Sima Rui, am going to visit." .”
