Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 248 Chen Hou’s two branches?Legacy policies passed by

the other side.

After Chen Zhi left the palace, he did not return directly to Zuo's residence, but walked around the city. He had just arrived and had been making preparations. He hadn't walked around the city much yet. Now he took the opportunity to look around. .

As the base camp of the Wang family, Linyi has always been valued. This can be seen from the residential buildings on both sides of the road. Compared with the county towns along the way, the residential buildings in Linyi appear to be more solid and grand.

The people walking on the street have different spirits.

Chen Zhi watched for a while and happened to walk outside a tea shop. He heard the noise inside and walked into it.

As soon as I entered the tea shop, I was greeted by the noise of people. Looking around, I saw that the lobby was extremely lively, with people walking around, shouting, and laughing loudly.

This tea shop is not a gathering place for scholars, but a place where people with a little wealth in the city are arty. Chen Zhi can tell from the clothes of many people that many of them are afraid of being forced to hold on. Came here to save face.

"Master, this place is really noisy." The little book boy whispered, "What are we doing here? Why don't you go back and discuss the Wang family's affairs with Mr. Zhao and the others?"

"Don't worry, there are people in the Wang family who understand the meaning of my words. The most urgent thing is to understand the current situation. In this kind of place, the three religions and nine trends are popular, and good and evil are mixed. It is most suitable for collecting news."

Before he finished speaking, the waiter's second brother came over.

"My guest officer, I'm sorry, we don't have any separate tables and chairs in the shed, why don't you share the table with other people." When the waiter boy was talking, he saw Chen Wu and saw how he was dressed. , was slightly startled, but recovered in an instant.

"Thank you, brother." Chen Zhi nodded and was led by the waiter to sit at a table.

There were three people sitting at this table. Judging by their attire, two of them were poor scholars and one was an ordinary commoner. However, the three of them were chatting happily.

However, Chen Zhi could see from the expressions of the three of them that the real exchanges were between the two down-and-out scholars, and the man in commoner clothes was just echoing.

As soon as the three of them saw Chen Zhi sitting down, they stopped talking and looked at Chen Zhi and the items standing behind him, with different expressions. The two literati looked shocked, while the man in commoner clothes looked uncertain.

After the waiter asked Chen Zhi what he wanted and left, the two literati couldn't hold it any longer and asked, "Young Master, you look like you are not from an ordinary family, how come you are here?"

This question is straightforward. Since the end of the Han Dynasty, because of Chen Hou's love for tea, tea culture has risen in China, and then affected the surrounding areas. The cultivation of tea has gradually expanded. In addition to some expensive teas, there are also some cheaper ones. This became the origin of this kind of popular tea shop.

"I heard about the Linyi Cultural Festival and came here specially." Chen Zhi gave a brief introduction. He did not deceive the people in front of him, but he just didn't finish his words.

The two literati didn't feel strange after hearing this.

One of them glanced at Chen Wu and said with a smile: "Xiongtai is a son of an aristocratic family. He brought the book boy with him to get acquainted with the people. There are quite a few people like Xiongtai in the city these days. There are several examples in this tea shop."

Chen Zhi nodded and asked: "I just heard a few people talking about the Hun prince. To be honest, I just came to the city. When I came, it happened to be that Young Master Yiyan blocked the way for the Hun prince, but I just listened to it. It’s a rough idea. I don’t know much about the cause and effect. I wonder what’s the reason?”

When the two literati heard this, they hurriedly replied: "Actually, this thing is strange. Before arriving in Linyi, the little Xiongnu prince had little reputation. Not many people know him, so how can they understand him? As soon as this man came, he showed amazing chess skills, which is really surprising."

The clothed man next to him was surprised when he saw this. He listened to him just now, echoing from time to time, and found that there was a lot of arrogance in the words of the two down-and-out literati. , which made people feel that they had no foundation, but as soon as Chen Zhi showed up, their attitudes suddenly turned 180 degrees.

While he was still thinking, another literati had already said: "It is me, the Unmanned One in China, who allows the barbarians to be arrogant in the Divine Continent. The chess masters usually brag about how powerful they are, and they even win each other." They flattered each other endlessly, but in the end they met a barbarian and were suddenly knocked back to their original form. It’s really disappointing!”

The commoner didn't have time to think about other things and quickly agreed: "Yes, it seems that ordinary people like us were originally blinded by the reputation of those so-called everyone. We really thought they were very capable. Who would have thought that at the critical moment, it would be like this?" It looks like that, ugh..." After speaking, he even sighed with a sad face, but at a glance, it was obvious that it was just a pretense.

Chen Zhi nodded and didn't say much. As soon as he asked this question, it seemed to open up a conversation among several people. The topic naturally fell on the chess showdown.

The people at the table next to me heard the discussion and became interested. They took two steps closer and said, "As soon as the Huns came, they set up the so-called rules. They said that they must challenge at least one chess master a day and talk to him about it. , Their little prince is not only amazing in chess skills, but also unique in knowledge. I heard that he is a disciple of Chen Hou."

"Huh?" Chen Zhi was stunned when he heard this, and then asked: "Chen Hou's disciples? As far as I know, Chen Hou has no disciples who entered the house." Next to him, another person came over and said with a smile: "Chen Hou What kind of person is Mr. Hou? How could he confiscate his disciples? Mr. Master, I see that you are not very old. I am afraid that you are not familiar with the allusions, so you asked such a question. Of course Chen Hou has disciples, and now there are even more. There are two major Chen schools handed down from generation to generation, one of which is in that grassland tribe."

How come I don't know about this?
Chen Zhi was inexplicably surprised, his eyes full of questions.

But before he could ask again, someone next to him sneered -

"Where did you hear this?"

As soon as he said this, the man before suddenly showed an angry look. He turned around and saw another man dressed as a son of a noble family. He immediately restrained himself and whispered, "Young Master Wang Nineteenth."

This title made Chen Zhi pay attention and knew that the person coming was probably a member of the Wang family.

The [-]th Young Master Wang came over and was a little surprised when he saw Chen Zhi. He seemed surprised by his clothes and his book boy, but he didn't say much. He just said to the person before him: "Don't spread these words of yours everywhere, Chen Hou He never took in any disciples in his life, but after his old man passed away, several of his soldiers straightened out their words and deeds, and several legacy strategies were left behind. In addition, when Liezu lived in the Hun Palace, he often recalled the events of Marquis Chen. , some were memorized by the eunuchs nearby, and summarized into a one-step sutra, but it has been lost long ago, but no matter which one it is, it is not passed down by disciples."

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone fell into silence. No one dared to say anything. Who didn't know that the Nineteenth Young Master Wang had admired Chen Hou since he was a child, and he also treasured the life of this legendary figure.

However, many people don't say it with their mouths, but they are still muttering in their hearts.

As soon as Wang Jiu Shao saw it, he understood and said with a smile: "I know you are dissatisfied. What you probably think is that there are many different versions of Chen Hou's life. How can I be sure that my version is true? But I can tell you , the so-called inheritance of Chen Hou by the surrounding tribes is just some of the classics circulated in the Huaxia Pavilion, and they were named after Chen Hou."

Seeing the confused expressions on everyone's faces, he couldn't help but show a bit of pride and explained: "The so-called Huaxia Pavilion was part of Chen Houping's traitor policy and Dingrong policy, which was used to spread Chinese etiquette to the barbarians and us. But the most important thing is that Military techniques are not allowed to be spread, but after the death of Liezu, there have been several changes, and the Huaxia Pavilion has long become history. However, the foreigners who have studied there regard themselves as the descendants of Chen Hou, and this is why the current rumors have arisen."

Is that the case?

When Chen Zhi and the others heard this, they understood the cause and effect. Looking at this Young Master Wang, there was a bit of admiration in his eyes. It is really not easy to write down these tedious histories.

After the explanation was finished, the Nineteenth Young Master Wang continued: "Since Liu Yuan raised his troops and the Huns exposed their true identity, the court knew that they had long been rebellious. In the past, letting the prince come to the capital as a hostage was just a way to paralyze the court. , which caused the court to lose vigilance against them, changed Chen Hou's strategies several times, and even the smelting method and other techniques were secretly learned by foreigners one by one, which led to the current situation. As a result, some people in the court now said that the Xiongnu could take the throne. , in fact, the relationship between Chen Houce and Chen Houce is simply confusing right and wrong and mistaking a deer for a horse!"

When everyone heard what he said, they quickly started to persuade him to calm down the [-]th Young Master of the Wang family. After all, many of these words were taboo.

After the Nineteenth Young Master Wang calmed down, everyone no longer had the intention to talk about the chess game and dispersed.

At that time, the young master of the Wang family came to Chen Zhi with great interest, raised his hands and said, "Wang Da, what do you call Xiongtai? It's not easy to meet someone like Xiongtai in a place like this. "

Chen Zhi didn't mean to hide his head, and said with a smile: "I'm Chen Zhi, I'm not a local, but a foreigner. I heard the discussion outside, so I came in to find out. Thank you Brother Wang for clearing up the confusion, but it's not early, I'm I'll take my leave now. We'll meet again in the future and have a nice chat." He announced his name and stopped staying. He left a few dollars on the table and left.

Wang Da, the Nineteenth Young Master, frowned and chewed on Chen Zhi's name.

"Chen Zhi? This name sounds familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere. Chen Zhi, Chen Zhi..."

While he was muttering, someone beside him heard it, and immediately said: "Is this Chen Zhi the one who broke the chess game of Young Master Jiang Yi? I heard that he also came to Linyi these two days."

"Yes! I said why it sounds so familiar to me, isn't it him!" Wang Da came back to his senses, stood up and chased outside, "This Chen Zhi is said to be a superb chess player. He suddenly asked about this. Could it be that he wanted to challenge the Huns? ?”

When everyone in the teahouse was surprised by Chen Zhi's identity, they could no longer see him.

When Chen Zhi arrived at Zuo's courtyard, he received unexpected news——

"Jiang Yi's people are waiting for me in the courtyard?"

　Post first and then change.
