Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 309 The Beginning of the Confluence of the Two Chens
"Enter Shu?"

Chen Zhi was a little surprised by this answer. He didn't know this Chen Die very well. He had never even heard his name a few times in the past. However, after a short period of contact, Chen Zhi had a rough idea of ​​his characteristics, at least. It is a characteristic that is deliberately displayed.

If such a person is a military strategist or a general in the army, he will inevitably be more hawkish and want to rush to the front line of the battlefield.

However, with the death of the leader of the Huns and the retreat of the imperial army, both sides needed time to recover, so the war situation showed signs of calming down. However, in the eyes of the military, the war was not over, it was just a temporary truce, so it was still There are many hawkish generals who are eager to go to this northern land to make achievements.

This point can also be heard from Chen Die's words.

However, he also said that the last place he wanted to go was the land of Sichuan and Sichuan, which was obviously inconsistent with his original intention.

"Chen Yong is a servant and has many duties. Among them, the horse administration part has a great influence on the military. The military must consider his opinions. If this Chen Die really wants to go to In Beijiang, as long as Chen Yong makes a suggestion, combined with his own status, the military will not make it difficult for him to get what he wants, but now things are backfired, and the reason is either that there are political opponents obstructing it, or Chen Yong does not agree..."

While he was thinking about it, Chen Die relaxed his shoulders and shook his head and said: "My father, your uncle, is worried about this and that. I have already found colleagues over there. My friend, he was preparing to go to Northern Xinjiang, but he passed on a word and changed his mind to go to Shu. Do you think it is irritating or not?"

Chen Die's face was full of regret. He looked at Chen Zhi and said with emotion: "You did a good job. You don't have to go to Northern Xinjiang in person. When the news came, Liu Yuan was so angry that he had an army of one hundred thousand. It's really a good job to kill no one more than you. It made my Chen family famous in the Northern Xinjiang army. If I can go to Northern Xinjiang, I should consolidate the name of my Chen family and make military exploits. But now I can only go to Shu. What do you think is worth going there? In the past two years, the Li family made trouble, but now that the Li family has surrendered and the weapons are in storage, what use will it have if I go there? "

As he spoke, he sighed, making Chen Zhi, Tao Ya and others behind him look at each other. They had a strange feeling towards this young man from the Chen family who spoke so many heartfelt words as soon as they met, but he also knew that these were probably unfulfilled wishes. It can be achieved, so my heart is full of siltation. When I meet Chen Zhi, the person who caused Liu Yuan's death, I can't help but complain.

In this way, the group walked through the courtyard and arrived at the lobby.

In the lobby, Chen Yong was sitting in the main seat. In addition to him, there were seven or eight people present. Three of them were similar in age to Chen Die. The remaining five looked quite young. Chen Huan was one of these five people. When he saw Chen Zhi coming, he looked happy and winked at Chen Zhi, causing a middle-aged man next to him to cough repeatedly as a reminder.

It's just that Chen Huan's consciousness is really limited and he doesn't know the point, but under the reminder of a young man next to him, he still restrained himself a lot. After the young man stopped him, he looked at Chen Zhi up and down, showing a look of apprehension.

Chen Zhi took in all the scenes in the hall, then stepped forward, saluted Chen Yong who was sitting in the main seat, and called him "uncle".

Behind him, Chen Die walked aside with a smile and said, "I brought this man here. He is the future pillar of my Chen family. I had a few conversations with him, and he is indeed worthy of his reputation."

As soon as he said something, not to mention Chen Zhi, even those who came later and were meeting with Chen Yong, Tao Ya, Liu Gang and others who were called juniors and younger generations all had strange expressions on their faces.

From the moment he entered the gate until he reached this point, Chen Zhi had almost no chance to speak. All these words were answered by Chen Die. At most, Chen Zhi could only ask a few questions at the critical moment, so that Chen Die could He spoke more cheerfully, but because he felt comfortable speaking, he was convinced that Chen Zhi lived up to his reputation.

Chen Yong obviously knew his son's temperament and did not answer. Instead, he nodded with a smile and ordered Chen Zhi, Tao Ya and others to sit down.

Chen Huan and the others also introduced themselves according to their seniority at this time. The three middle-aged people were members of the Xiapi Chen family of the same generation as Chen Die, that is, they were of the same generation as Chen Zhi's father, but they all He is Chen Yong's nephew, not his biological son.

As for the remaining five people, three including Chen Huan are Chen Yong's grandsons, and the remaining two are family grandsons.

These Chen clan members are all from the Xiapi Chen clan. They are the same clan as Chen Zhi’s Pengcheng Chen clan, but after all they have been separated for decades. Although they are polite greetings at this time, they can still feel a sense of estrangement and unfamiliarity. Even the rather eager Chen Huan could hear clues in the details of his words.

But if there were fewer barriers in words, there was one person who was the young man who had previously reminded Chen Huan to restrain himself.

This person has just introduced himself as Chen Zi, who is Chen Huan's cousin. His father died early, and he was raised by Chen Die. He was studious since he was a child, and later he followed Chen Yong and was highly regarded.

When this person spoke just now, he was very particular about the details, which made people feel more comfortable. Moreover, when he spoke, his voice was mellow, and his whole person gave people a sense of warmth, which made people unconsciously feel... Good impression.

When everyone came to greet them, Chen Yong took the opportunity to speak: "Shouyi, I have heard of your name for a long time. When I saw you today, you are indeed a descendant of my Chen family." He smiled as he spoke. He looked at Chen Zhi and nodded slightly, looking satisfied.

Of course Chen Zhi was always humble.

Next came a question and answer session, which mainly reflected the camaraderie of the same race. The atmosphere was warm and warm. From time to time, Chen Huan came in, making the conversation gradually relaxed and cheerful. Chen Zhi, Tao Ya and others spoke in turn, and listened to the long speech. I have benefited a lot from Chen Yong’s teachings and opinions.In fact, Tao Ya and others were also happy to do so.

No matter what you say, Chen Yong is still one of the ministers. Being able to come to his house is of great benefit to these scholars who have no official career and are only famous in some areas, even if they don't have much nutrition. The small talk is also very enjoyable, because it is qualifications in itself. In the future, when you encounter something outside, you can mention it and say, so-and-so is ranked among the nine ministers. I will chat and laugh with him and so on.

In fact, these people have not been together for a long time, but Chen Zhi's reputation has almost shown a trend of triple jump, almost every day. They are often mentioned by people around them, and they are very popular and extraordinary. The goal was achieved, which is why Chen Zhi did not go to the Xingtan forum and everyone followed him decisively. There are elements of friendship and friendship, but it is also mixed with utilitarianism. For example, Zhou Yan, Lu Jing and others saw that Come, follow Chen Zhi, and you will earn much more than your reputation on the Xingtan Forum.

For example, when you enter the city, you can see Chen Yong, which is an advantage.

Chen Yong had a kind attitude, and as he was talking, he suddenly mentioned: "It's a good thing for you to come here this time, Shouyi, and become a minister in the same palace in the future. It's a happy event for my Chen family. We are all our own people here, so I won't hide it." You guys, now is the time for my Chen family to show their ambitions. When Duo Duo promotes his own children and the capital is short of manpower, I will ask a few outstanding children from the family to come over. When the time comes, Shou Yi, you should give them more promotions."

Chen Die had already mentioned this news outside just now, so Chen Zhi was not surprised. He was humble again, and then Chen Yong praised him.

In a harmonious atmosphere, the meeting was successfully concluded. Next, Chen Yong arranged for several nephews to entertain Chen Zhi and arranged a dinner. He himself went to the palace to meet the saint for some reason.

"It's incredible. If you just say a few words, you can enter the palace and meet the emperor. The position of minister and the emperor is really extraordinary."

During the dinner, Liu Gang couldn't help but sigh.

"What's the point? Brother Chen will definitely be a frequent visitor to the palace in the future." Tao Ya smiled slightly and looked at Chen Zhi, "Just looking at Brother Chen's previous appointment and the title of General Zhengbei, we know that it is Jian who is the emperor's emperor. Heart."

"Yeah, I'm really envious of others!" Zhou Yan was also smiling at the side.

At this time, Chen Huan walked up to Chen Zhi with a glass of wine, and said politely: "Clan brother, I have really been famous for you for a long time, you are the leader of my Chen family's younger generation, I can see you today, don't get drunk No return!" After finishing speaking, Dang raised his head and drank down the glass of wine.

Suddenly, there were several people nearby who were laughing and cheering, and some were singing drinking orders. The atmosphere gradually became lively, and the barriers gradually disappeared.

It was night, and the Chen Mansion was singing and dancing until late at night.

The next day, Chen Zhi and his party were arranged into a house specially set aside for Chen Yong. The property that allowed them to settle down was the Chen family's property. Even if Chen Zhi's position changed in the future, this house would still remain. Give it to him.

Of course, as Chen Zhi is Tai Leling, someone will come soon and assign him a special official residence.

Soon, after they settled in the house, Taichang sent someone again and agreed on a specific meeting time with Chen Zhi, which was when Chen Zhi officially joined the job. There were still a few days left for him to He rests and prepares.

Let's not list these trivial matters for the time being, but said that Qi Zhi from Zuoyue Academy over there, after bidding farewell to Wang Bu, came to the academy the next day, intending to report his meeting with Chen Zhi to the past.

However, when he came to the academy and arrived at the house where the teacher lived, he found a circle of people surrounding the house. They all looked strong and strong. At a glance, he could tell that they were carefully trained servants to protect the academy.

"Could it be that Old Madam Yang is here?"

Qi Zhi was no stranger to this scene. He showed joy when he saw it, and then got the answer from his classmate. It was the old lady who came and was talking to the mountain leader Yang Mu inside.

"That's just right. I have something to report right now. I wonder when I can go in?"

Qi Zhi's expression was a little excited. The status of Old Mrs. Yang was so noble. If he could meet him and leave a good impression, he would benefit a lot. In comparison, his original intention of coming here would have to take a back seat.

The classmate said: "We have to wait for a while. The teacher and Tai Zheng are talking very seriously. I can't wait to go in. I have to wait for the call from inside."
