Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 312 Just in time!

Chen Zhi's movements in the past few days have actually been noticed by interested people. There are many people from the academy, including many children of the Chen family, and the eunuch Chen Yong is no exception.

As a result, the news was received that Chen Zhi was not practicing the piano every day, so there were many speculations, but most people thought that Chen Zhi was preparing for Tai Leling.

As for Chen Huan, his thoughts were relatively simple. He just felt that this was an elegant thing and he was happy to do it. So when he heard that the music master was coming today, he hurriedly came to inform Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi smiled and said: "It's a good thing that there is a music master, but I don't know which family they are from?"

Chen Huan said: "They are all from Luoyang. One of them is known as the Master of Zhimin Pavilion. He is a descendant of the clan. His surname is Liu Mingjin. His musical skills are well known to everyone in Luoyang!"

"The master of music in the clan? This is really surprising. In that case, I will go with you to meet this person." After Chen Zhi finished speaking, he asked the book boy Chen Wu to get his belongings, and then Then follow Chen Huan to Chen Yong's mansion.

Because it was a matter within the Chen family, it was inconvenient for Tao Ya and others to follow, so they were seated in an ox cart. After driving for a short time, they arrived at their destination.

"Shouyi is here, but have you heard the news?" When Chen Zhi entered the house from the side door, walked around the screen wall, and before reaching the courtyard, he met Chen Die. This elder of the Chen family had a close relationship with Chen Zhi recently. He was getting closer and closer, so he didn't mince words when talking, "I expected you to come. Today several music masters came over. Although they all submitted their names in advance, it was only a day and a half in advance. It seemed that It's more urgent, I guess, there must be a plan behind this, maybe it's for you, Tai Leling, you can't take it lightly."

Chen Zhigong cupped his hands and said, "Thank you uncle for reminding me. I also have this consideration, but since I'm here, I have to meet you. After all, I have to deal with you in the future."

Chen Die nodded and said with a smile: "I know that such a thing cannot be difficult for you, but as the saying goes, it is easy to hide from an open gun and hard to avoid a hidden arrow. You have never been an official before, so you may not be able to feel it. If someone wants to fight with you in the past, The embarrassment can still be traced, but in this officialdom, there are too many tricks. Maybe I was talking and laughing with you today, but I turned around and stabbed you. You don't know. In short, you can never make a big mistake by being careful. , I have to leave now. Although my father has a high position, it is not convenient for him to intervene in many things. Besides, you will also be the support of my Chen family in the future, and I will rely on you for many things. You must be careful."

In two days, Chen Die will go to Shuzhong to take up a post. Once he leaves, he doesn't know when he will come back. In fact, he has a lot of worries in his heart, so he takes this opportunity to say some heartfelt words.

Chen Zhi also looked a little more solemn, nodded, and then followed Chen Die and walked inside, saying as he walked: "I want my uncle to know that I have also been thinking about the position of Tai Leling in the past few days. It seems that now , this person seems to have a lot of contact with many academies, so what is going on among these academies, does uncle know?"

"I'm really not sure about this, but you're right. Your official position is closely related to those academies, and it's also an important authority. It's like offering sacrifices in the suburbs of Beijing. It's actually quite important. But after all, there are only a few times a year, and many yamen support each other, so there may not be any problems. On the contrary, the academy referee is a fatal matter. The previous Tai Le Ling died because of this problem. As for this position, it has been vacant for a long time.”

"Academy referee?" Chen Zhi naturally understood that this referee did not refer to the professional referees of later generations, but referred to "ruling and judgment".

"Yes, I also heard about this matter. I can't explain clearly. You will know it when you meet Taichang and enter the Yamen. Now go and meet those people first." Chen Die spoke in a low tone. The voice said, "In fact, this is not a bad thing. It is just like marching and fighting. If someone disobeys you, as long as you are shocked, you can use it for your own purposes to suppress and win over other military leaders. I also know that you and Qi Qi a few days ago For straightforward things, you might as well do the same thing, let these people know how powerful you are, and overwhelm them!"

Chen Huan followed behind and couldn't help but said: "Yes, that's the truth. Brother, you have been practicing diligently every day for the past few days. It must be for this reason. You have to let them all know how powerful you are." Stop thinking about it!"

"Uncle really thinks highly of me. Although Qi Zhi is a hero, he is no better than everyone else. I have such a little musical ability. I can restrain him, but I may not be able to restrain the people in this courtyard." Chen Zhi said, his eyes widened. Looking towards the courtyard, there are tables and seats on the side of the rockery, and there are seven people sitting on the side of the bay.

The first person was naturally the host Chen Yong, and the last person was accompanied by Chen Zi. Chen Zhi had never seen the remaining people, but he saw that they all had Eguanbo belts, big sleeves fluttering, and their demeanor was extraordinary. Looking at the faces of a few people, they were all The face is like a crown jade, and the long beard adds to the charm.

Chen Zhi looked at those people, and those people were also looking at him. As the distance got closer, these strangers all stood up.

"This must be Young Master Rumeng, whose name I have admired for a long time!"

"Excellent style!"

"But Tai Leling? I'll be polite."

All of them are extremely polite.

"Shouyi, you are here. Let me introduce these people to you." Chen Yongye, the servant, stood up slightly and called Chen Zhi over. His face was full of smiles, as if Chen Zhi was being treated politely, and he felt good about it. Rong Yan.

Chen Zhi knew very well that an old official like Chen Yong couldn't see that the purpose of these people's visit was just to put on a show, so he walked over quickly to join in the performance.

"This one is the owner of Zhimin Pavilion, Mr. Liu Jin. This Zhimin Pavilion is a famous study in Luoyang. There are many literati and inkmen who have left good stories, and Mr. Liu is even known as the three masters. Then his calligraphy, His painting skills and piano skills are both the best in Luoyang and famous in the north." Chen Yong stood up, pulled Chen Zhi, pointed at a man about forty years old, and said this.This person has a handsome face and a dignified figure, but his eyebrows are thinner, so he has a feminine meaning. He listened to the introduction, the corners of his mouth curled up, he smiled, and said: "Chen Gong is so praised, such a compliment, I can't bear it, and the theory of the three unique things is far-fetched by others. How dare you respond in front of Lumengjun? There are also things that are superior to others, it can be seen that Zuo Yue Academy's Qi Zhi is so arrogant and arrogant, but he is also full of praise for your musical ability."

That Qi Zhi obviously wanted to flatter and kill, the people in Luoyang, the capital city, were indeed very scheming.

Chen Zhi was emotional in his heart, but on the surface he was humble.

Chen Yongze introduced several other people. The remaining few also had their own backgrounds, and Chen Yong obviously wanted to remind them, so they all mentioned the academy behind them.

In fact, except for Liu Jin, several others, while being masters of music, are also lecturers or teachers in various academies.

The situation is now very clear.

Sure enough, they came here with a purpose.

Seeing the polite expressions of Liu Jin and others, Chen Zhi knew very well that history might repeat itself next, repeating what Qi Zhi had experienced, but the musical level of these people was much higher than that of Qi Zhi. Well, with the rhythm ability obtained from Lu Ying, it may be difficult to convince them.

"That's okay. In fact, they came just in time."

Looking at Liu Jin's appearance, Chen Zhi's heart skipped a beat, remembering what Chen Yong mentioned just now, that Liu Jin's calligraphy, painting skills, and piano skills are the best in Luoyang.

"That is to say, in Luoyang, when it comes to this piano skill, no one can compare with him. So as long as you get his pages, you don't have to take other people's pages. From this look, these He was a good person and came at the right time, especially before I took office, which saved a lot of trouble."

As soon as he thought about this, Chen Zhi subconsciously touched the objects in his arms. Before leaving, he asked Chen Wu to pick up the objects, including the "Xiao Guicao Suiju".

"Young Master Dreaming..."

After the introduction, everyone sat down separately, and Liu Jin, the master of Zhimin Pavilion, was about to speak. They came here today because they were entrusted by others to set the pace and find something for Chen Zhi to do.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Chen Zhi said first: "I have heard of the name of the Pavilion Master a long time ago. It is so impressive. Your achievements in music are astonishing. It is really admirable and admirable!" After that, He even extended his thumbs up and gave a thumbs up.

Liu Jin was stunned. He wanted to say a few words to push Chen Zhi and let him play the piano on the spot, and then the two sides competed to give this Tai Leling a showdown. However, the other party praised him so openly that he was too embarrassed to continue what he had just said. Topic, consecutive humility.

The atmosphere of this conversation immediately softened.

Chen Zhi touched a piece of paper in his arms and nodded slightly. After this compliment, he had obtained the book page about Liu Jin. After a few days of exploration, Chen Zhi already knew that the book page about Liu Jin had many restrictions. The biggest feature is that the page can record at most one ability.

The Liu Jin in front of him is an example. The opponent has three abilities that Chen Yong praised, but Chen Zhi cannot praise the opponent's three abilities at the same time. If he does, he will not get the page. He can only choose one. Here, Chen Zhixuan Of course it's the rhythm.

After getting it, he felt confident and chatted casually, and the atmosphere became more and more relaxed.

This atmosphere is not right, in case of harmony, how to complete the entrustment?
Thinking like this, Liu Jin changed the subject and said: "Brother Chen, you are so happy that you don't know what to say..."

"Brother Liu mentioned this, which just reminded me," Chen Zhi showed an expression as if he had thought of something. "As you know, I just came here and got the official position of Tai Leling, but I don't know why. I heard that this position has nothing to do with many academies. Qian, Brother Liu, you are deeply involved in the capital, can you teach me?"

　The second one will be later.
