Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 296: The prince becomes a disciple and ranks first in Qingzhou

The next day, the Wang family's residence was still lively with people coming and going.

The people who came this time, in terms of weight and status, are quite different from before.

Most of the people who came here before were just ordinary celebrities who came here in admiration of Chen Zhi's name and wanted to make friends, but after Chen Zhi announced that he would not participate in the Xingtan Forum and directly left Lu County for Luoyang, the situation suddenly changed.

The celebrities who were preparing to compete with Chen Zhi felt as if they were punching the air with a fist full of strength. It was an uncomfortable feeling, so they all came over as soon as possible. I mean to ask in detail.

Of course, after the initial accident, these people also saw the doorway inside. This time they came here not to persuade Chen Zhi to stay, but more to brush up on their presence and check out the hot spots.

It’s just that among the people who came this time, there are many people with outstanding reputations, but their status is embarrassing, but for the Wang family, it is actually a good thing that so many people come to visit, and they are all of sufficient status. There was no obstruction, but with Chen Zhi's permission, they tried their best to arrange for them to meet with Chen Zhi.

Coming and going, it was very lively.

It was in this atmosphere that Sun Min and others arrived at the palace. Looking at the familiar figures in the courtyard, they couldn't help but feel surprised.

"Compared to the Royal Palace Dinner, this posture is not too generous. This way of fame is really surprising." Sun Min said with emotion, and then took out the name card and handed it over.

As heirs of saints, they still have certain privileges. As Qingzhou nobles, the Wang family also takes good care of them, so they quickly arranged to meet Chen Zhi.

When I saw Chen Zhi, he was drinking tea. It could be seen that he had met many people before, but there was no hint of impatience or fatigue in his expression, and he looked energetic.

Recalling the expressions of the people who came out when they entered, Sun Min and others couldn't help but marvel. At the same time, after meeting Chen Zhi, they started talking quite casually. After a few words, the expressions on Cao Qing and others' faces were clear. After waiting for a cup of tea, even Sun Min looked surprised.

"This invitation from my master should have been sent a long time ago, but due to various reasons, it has never been possible. Today I really have the opportunity to sit down and talk. This conversation has really benefited a lot."

After saying a few words, Sun Min and others stood up to say goodbye to Chen Zhi and end the visit.

Chen Zhi and others sent them off according to the etiquette. When they reached the door, they saw the servants of the Wang family walking outside in a hurry, as if they were in a hurry, as if they had received some urgent news. Come.

Chen Zhi and Sun Min looked puzzled and asked, "Mr. Wang, why are you so anxious?"

Wang Leng said to Chen Zhi: "This is King Langya. He suddenly sent someone over, saying that he wanted to come to the house to meet you, Mr. Chen. This is the emperor's younger brother, the king of the county. If he comes like this, he will definitely There are some arrangements, but time is tight. I heard that the prince's carriage is already at the corner in front, so I asked people to prepare quickly and not dare to neglect." After briefly explaining the situation, Wang Leng immediately went to make arrangements without stopping.

Chen Zhi, Sun Min and others were left looking at each other.

In fact, they have heard about the style of that Langya King, and they know that he is a rather capricious prince. If other princes, county kings, and even princes and nobles visit a certain big family, even if it is just another courtyard, they will be fine. The name will be passed on a few days in advance, so it can be arranged, this one is good, there is not even an hour in advance.

In fact, let’s not talk about today, let’s just talk about the dinner at the palace. This guy simply walked incognito and came with a few guards. During this period, I heard that he was listening to people talking on the street. Such a thing is inherently dangerous. Unexpectedly, the prince may be in danger, and it will come as soon as he says it. Fortunately, it is the residence of King Lu. If it had been anyone else, I don't know how busy it would be.

It was as if the Wang family's mansion was now in a state of busyness due to the sudden arrival of King Langya, so that those who came to visit consciously stayed aside to prevent the Wang family from having any other worries.

But even so, there was still no time in the end. When the young prince entered the palace, the preparations of the Wang family were still not in order. Wang Leng, with a bitter look on his face, wanted to go over to confess to King Zelangya, but he saw The prince came directly to Chen Zhi and said this sentence——

"Chen Zhi, this king is here to worship you as my disciple!"

This statement shocked everyone in the house.

………………

"King Langya wants to become Chen Zhi's disciple? Is it true or false?"

"Really, when King Langya came, my uncle was in the Wang family's residence. He had just visited Chen Zhi and happened to see the prince come to visit. The scene was really chaotic."

"It's too weird for a county prince to suddenly want to become a disciple of Chen Zhi. Even if Chen Zhi has done many surprising things before, he still wouldn't let a county prince become his disciple. Is there anything else in there? What's the key that I don't know?" "It's really hard to talk about this. You must know that Chen Zhi was unwilling at that time, but King Langya refused to obey. He insisted on becoming a disciple no matter what, and even said a lot of willful words. "

"Anyway, it's really strange that Chen Zhi had to accept it in the end, but similar things happened in the past, so I can't say anything. When will this apprenticeship ceremony start?"

"Where else to start? I'm going to become a disciple on the spot!"

"what?"

Such conversations resounded throughout the city, followed by bursts of surprise. Everyone felt a little incomprehensible to the actions of King Langya.

Even King Lu Liu Yi was stunned for a long time when he heard the news, and then he shook his head and smiled: "Yes, he has Liu Gai's acting style. This little guy is still so interesting."

His son Liu Mo couldn't help but asked: "Father, don't we care about this matter? King Langya is also a royal family after all, so he casually worshiped a scholar as his teacher and spread the word. , Don’t affect the dignity of the royal family.”

"The majesty of the royal family?" King Lu shook his head, "This etiquette can maintain majesty, but majesty does not rely on this, but on soldiers and horses. The situation on the battlefield is not good now. Liu Yuan's death is the last fig leaf, and once he dies, I think the imperial court will not use troops against the Xiongnu in a short period of time, and will adopt a strategy of differentiation. Then there will be no military exploits to show for a long time. This is Liu Yuan's death, and he will be taken advantage of repeatedly. Speaking out, Chen Zhi's reputation in the future may not necessarily damage the dignity of the royal family. I do think Liu Gai's move is very promising, and I don't know how he came up with it. Could it be that he is really wise and foolish?"

When Liu Mo heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched subconsciously. How could he not know that the subtext of his father's words was that he had always felt that Langya King Liu Gai was an unreliable prince.

The news of the prince's apprenticeship soon radiated from Lu County to the surrounding areas. When these villages and towns, as well as other counties, heard the news, they also followed the deeds of the prince's dinner that day. As a result, Chen Zhi's reputation gradually increased. Spreading step by step.

Combined with his previous actions in Kaiyang County and other places, as well as King Langya's influence in Qingzhou, this matter quickly spread throughout Qingzhou, and the Xingtan forum was temporarily put aside.

Throughout Qingzhou, Chen Zhi was talking about his words, and countless people were thinking about what kind of character this was.

In a vague way, Chen Zhi's name has the potential to dominate Qingzhou.

It's just that Chen Zhi, who was at the center of everyone's discussion, quietly accepted the changeable King Langya as his disciple, but he also left some classic book titles for King Langya to go back and study. However, this disciple was different after all. , and Chen Zhi are different, they cannot say harsh words, but since he has become a teacher, Chen Zhi can only fulfill his mission.

After all, this student was really difficult to refuse, and considering various connections, Chen Zhi had advantages in accepting him as his disciple, so this apprenticeship went smoothly with the tacit consent of all parties.

Naturally, Chen Zhi would not really regard himself as the commander of the county king. He still treated each other with courtesy. The two parties talked for a few days. After Chen Wu's injury was no longer serious, Chen Zhi and his party set off on the journey again. .

This time, Liu Gang, Tao Ya, Zhao Xing, and Lu Ying were still accompanying them on this journey. Zhou Yan and Lu Jing, who were slightly less related, also joined in, and Xu Lu and Cai Zhu, two people who passed the imperial edict, were on the side to guard them. Zuo Qing stayed behind.

The goal of the convoy composed of these people this time is Luoyang, the capital of this huge dynasty.

Different from the journey from Pengcheng to Qingzhou, which was just a journey between two states and counties, now they were going from the local states and counties to the heart of the entire New Han Dynasty. Chen Zhi had already expected this before setting off. You may encounter many different scenery on the road, but these are just interludes, so I won’t list them in detail.

But it was said that on that day Chen Zhi received the order in the Wang family's residence, the royal family and the government arranged for people to take this news, together with Chen Zhi's achievements, to report to the Chen family in Pengcheng. At the same time, the imperial court also sent He formed a special team and headed to Chen's house in Xiapi.

Compared with Chen Zhi and his convoy, these two troops were undoubtedly much faster. When Chen Zhi and his new journey had just covered one-fifth of the distance, the troops sent by the Wangfu arrived in Pengcheng.

"May I ask how to get to the Chen family?"

The leader was not a member of the royal family, but a subordinate of the government. His name was Zhang Jiang, and he was quite handsome. As soon as they arrived, they first inquired about the location of the Chen family.

The person in question gave the address of the Chen family's ancestral home, and then changed the subject and told Chen Zhi's house in the city and his manor outside the city.

At this time, Zhang Jiang felt worried: "Where should I spread the news first?"

Just as he was thinking about it, the man said again: "However, I see that you all have errands to attend to, so let's not go to Mr. Chen's house for now, and go directly to the Chen family's ancestral house to avoid getting into trouble." .”
