Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 276 The royal banquet, hundreds of famous families

As time goes by, the time for the Wang Jiawen meeting is soon approaching——

After Chen Zhi defeated Liu Yunyan, the bet between the Wang family and the prince of the Xiongnu was resolved naturally, and the Wang family's literary society was no longer restricted.

In a few days, the Wang family's literary meeting will be held. Considering various reasons, the Wang family sent a letter from Linyi.

"Sure enough, the family still hopes that Mr. Chen can return to Linyi."

Looking at the letter in his hand, Wang Leng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Unfortunately, the current situation is not very easy to handle. Even if my Wang family is powerful, but now Mr. Chen's reputation has greatly increased, and there is an endless stream of people who come to place it, even the government of Lu County. Even the palace often inquires, especially King Langya who has also arrived."

Thinking of King Langya, Wang Leng's expression changed slightly. Because this prince had a deep connection with their Langya family, he was particularly familiar and understanding.

"With the temperament of the young prince, he will definitely make some noise when he comes this time. There are also many rumors in the public that the two princes are going to hold a banquet. How can we let Mr. Chen go back at this time? Go back, maybe both princes will be offended."

With this thought, Wang Leng couldn't help but think about the situation these days, and couldn't help but sigh that things in the world were unpredictable. But just by walking from Linyi to Lu County, Chen Zhi's reputation rose to a higher level again.

"In any case, since the letter from home has arrived, no matter what, I have to mention it to Mr. Chen. It is also an explanation to my family. Maybe Mr. Chen will be willing to go back."

Wang Leng thought like this, put the letter away, and headed outside.

At this point, even if Chen Zhi does not participate in the literary meeting of the Wang family, it does not represent the Zuo family. In the Wang family's system, no one will bully the Zuo family, because Chen Zhi's reputation is enough to protect this family and other families. No complaints either.

Even the Zuo family themselves did not expect such a result in the end, but they were so overjoyed that Zuo Qing often lived in Lu County and traveled back and forth for Chen Zhi.

Under such circumstances, even when the Wang family faced Chen Zhi, they had many concerns and had to treat him with courtesy. If Chen Zhi was unwilling to go back, there was nothing they could do. After all, once the restrictions on the Wenhui were lifted, Chen Zhi would Zhi had already shown a small favor to the Wang family, and the relationship between the two parties had been established. It would be inappropriate for the Wang family to ask Chen Zhi to do anything else.

"Maybe I have to ask Zuo Qing for help in this matter..."

Wang Leng was thinking as he walked. After only a few steps, he ran into a person who came to report.

"Sir, we just received news that General Zhu Shouzhong has arrived in Lu County."

"Zhu Shou is here too?" Wang Leng couldn't help but shake his head when he heard the news, "It's true. As soon as he came, there were more and more important people in Lu County, and this person has always been in contact with Chen Zhi. In the past, he Chen Zhi admires it very much, he will definitely contact Chen Zhi when he arrives this time, in this way, it will be even more difficult for Chen Zhi to return to Linyi..."

Facts have proved that Wang Leng's worries were right. Not long after he made this judgment, news came out from Prince Lu's mansion that two days later, Prince Lu would hold a banquet in the mansion to entertain officials, generals and celebrities.

As soon as the news came out, there was a sensation in the city.

The reason is very simple, that is because King Lu has always acted in a low-key manner, rarely taking the initiative to entertain others, not to mention that there are many interesting names on the list passed down from the palace this time.

So, in the streets and alleys, especially many people talked about it, especially the teahouses where scholars gathered, and most of them had local products, and there were many celebrities gathered from all over the place, so they were very cautious when speaking. If there are fewer, the issues discussed will be deeper.

"Zhonglang General Zhu Shou actually came here in person. Such behavior is somewhat irregular. If someone wants to hold him accountable, he will inevitably be held accountable for leaving his post without permission. It seems that this new famous general is a bit arrogant and fierce. The taste will be better."

"You can't say that. It seems that my brother arrived recently. Could it be that he doesn't know about the Huns' incident a few days ago?"

"How could I not know? As long as people arrive in Lu County, how can they not know about Chen Shou's chess game against the Huns?"

"Since brother knows, you should have heard that when the Xiongnu troops were raging, the Lu Palace asked for help from the north and south. The troops in the north were commanded by General Zhu Shou. Although the Xiongnu cavalry was defeated, General Zhu Come here, I don’t think there’s any problem.”

……

Such discussions gradually spread in the city, but soon another news came -

"Have you heard that General Mi Jun of the Southern Route Army has already arrived in Lu County!"

"Yes, I've heard that too. This general of the Mi Army keeps a low profile. If General Zhu hadn't arrived, he wouldn't be willing to reveal his whereabouts."

"General Mi's family background is that he is a hero. He is a descendant of Er Mi who followed Emperor Zhaolie. Now he is in charge of the army and has great momentum. He vaguely heard that he was still at odds with General Zhu. The two met in Lu County. Come on, I guess there will be a good show."

"I don't think so. The reason why these two gathered together is related to the letter sent by Prince Lu's palace before. They arrived here to attend Prince Lu's banquet. After all, they must give this old prince some face."

News of the arrival of the two generals spread quickly in Lu County, accompanied by discussions about the dinner list. "Mr. Xu is a master of Confucian classics. I heard that when he arrived in Lu County, he has been living in the post station and rarely sees people. It is reasonable for such a highly respected person to be invited by the prince."

"It is said that Mr. Meng Tanggong is a descendant of the sages. He is knowledgeable and is a contemporary descendant of the Gongyang sect. He has been studying behind closed doors for a long time. I didn't expect that he would also come to Xingtan this time to discuss Taoism. If King Lu hadn't invited him to the banquet, I'm afraid he would have I didn’t know that this person had arrived as well.”

"Everyone, isn't it the little immortal Ge Hong who makes people think the most? It is said that he is writing books behind closed doors and will never come out easily. He has to wait for several years. Who would have thought that he would also come to Lu? County, this Xingtan forum discussion is really incredible, this little fairy Ge Hong is a capable person of the Taoist school."

"How can he be said to be a Taoist? The only one who truly inherits the teachings of Lao and Zhuang is Mr. Zhou He. He has also been invited to the royal banquet. I believe he will be able to realize his true Taoist origins by then."

"Isn't it those people from the Mo family that we should really be concerned about? Especially Shu Ji, who studies the mechanism, and Guo Gai, the leader of the rangers. They are both temporary talents. Since the death of the Mohist giant 30 years ago, the Moh family has been divided for many years. , these many split factions, but some days have not met."

……

As everyone was talking, they were looking forward to this banquet at the palace with increasing anticipation, because the people attending the banquet all had extraordinary backgrounds, either with great power or with extraordinary origins.

Among these people, there is another person that attracts everyone's attention - Chen Zhi.

"Among the people invited by the palace this time, Mr. Meng Meng is probably the most junior one and the one who has been famous for the shortest time."

"Yes, even Young Master Jiang Yi has already had a reputation. In contrast, Young Master Chen Zhi, the Young Master of Dreams, has only recently become famous. He is indeed the one with the shortest qualifications, but he cannot keep up with his popularity."

"That's right. If Mr. Chen is not invited, I would think there is a problem. After all, the reason for the banquet at the palace is due to that incident. The prince also made a seven-day agreement, how can he break it easily? "

"However, if the Xiongnu incident hadn't happened at the right time, I think Chen Zhi would still be unqualified."

"Oh, he really got a good opportunity. It's just that at such a gathering, there will inevitably be discussions and discussions. It may not be a good thing for Chen Zhi to join it. If one is not good, he may be defeated by others and damage his reputation."

The dreaming young master among these people is none other than Chen Zhi.

I don't know who stipulated it. If this person becomes famous, most of them must have a nickname, either by themselves or by others, such as Jiang Yi, who was called Yiyan Gongzi because of one deed.

And Chen Zhi, the dream master, is said to be related to several of his friends. He is talking about the dream of learning that Liu Gang and others joked about, and was mentioned several times by good people. Somehow, This gave Chen Zhi an additional title of Dream Master.

"This is a banquet for two kings!"

In the Wang family's courtyard, Liu Gang looked at the invitation in Chen Zhi's hand with envy on his face.

This invitation was exactly the invitation to Chen Zhi to attend the royal dinner.

Not even Zhao Xing got this invitation. Among all the people living in the palace, only Chen Zhi got it.

In fact, compared with the excitement on the street, commenting on this, commenting on that, in the end, only a few people can actually get this invitation. Only one of the dozens or hundreds of foreign celebrities and Su Laozhong can get it. I got it, so I got this invitation. From a certain point of view, it is also a symbol of status.

Because of this, Chen Zhi's selection made some people a little full and unconvinced, including many who were waiting to see his jokes.

The people in the house were also aware of this point, they and Chen Zhi were already in harm's way, so naturally they were worried, so they had their own suggestions.

Tao Ya said: "Brother Chen, according to the invitation, you can still bring one person with you, why not let Brother Lu come with you."

Lu Yingze waved his hand and said: "How can I show this little knowledge in front of so many great sages? It might actually hinder Brother Chen. It's better to let Brother Zhao follow. After all, he has a background."

Zhao Xing shook his head and said: "In this situation, what use can my identity and background be?"

In the end, no one was willing to go, thinking that the quota would be wasted, and finally Chen Zhi made a decision: "In that case, let Chen Wu follow."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on the confused Chen Wu's face.

Soon, in this atmosphere, the deadline for the palace dinner arrived.

Before the banquet, another news came out, saying that two dance masters were invited this time to add to the fun at the banquet.
