Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 323
"Oh? Taking action so soon?"

In Yang Mansion, Luoyang, Yang Jiyi couldn't help but sigh after hearing the news about Taiyue Department.

This Yang Mansion was originally his residence, but the current owner is not Yang Ji, but his eighth son Yang Jie.

Just two days ago, the imperial court had appointed Yang Jie to be the chief minister of agriculture. Yang Ji made it clear that he would no longer hold an official position. As for the idea of ​​a Taiwei, it was out of the question.

At this point, everyone has understood the Yang family's choice, and it has not caused too much turmoil. After all, since the death of the King of Donghai, the establishment of the King of Guanghan, and the emergence of the deposed prince, the political arena has been shuffled for a long time, and the ministers have been gradually replaced. This is how it should be. meaning.

However, his son became a great farmer, and Yang Ji, as his father, did not leave Luoyang. He told the outside world that he wanted to find a good home for his granddaughter, and the whole of Luoyang knew about it.

And as Yang Ji clearly gave up the Taiwei, the Guanghan King's suspicion of him no longer existed, and was replaced by respect and admiration. Even after the edict was issued two days ago, he personally came to the Yang Mansion to express condolences to Yang Ji.

It can be said that Yang Ji took advantage of a useless position to take a step back, but in exchange for the appreciation and respect of a person in power, his own power increased a bit, and his foundation became more solid. Compared with his useless predecessor, , seems much smarter.

Because of this, the aristocratic families and noble families inside and outside Luoyang are all more interested in getting married to the Yang family. Seeing that the banquet scheduled to be held at Zuoyue Academy is about to be held, the movements between these families and the Yang family are also limited. More and more frequently.

In contrast, Yang Ji also began to pay attention to young talents under the age of 30 in Luoyang, and Chen Zhi was the one he focused on. This was not only because of his conversation with Yang Mu in the academy that day, but also because of his conversation with Yang Mu in the academy that day. Because Chen Zhi declined the invitation from Zuoyue Academy on the grounds of official business.

Chen Zhi declined the invitation for many reasons. One of the important reasons was to avoid suspicion. After all, attending a banquet in an academy alone would inevitably lead to false accusations.

But the many rumors were enough to make Yang Ji pay attention, and the subsequent dismissal of Xu Ji aroused his interest. Through the channels of Zuoyue Academy, he could get news about many academies at the first time.

"It's really curious how Chen Zhi will deal with this change. If he can get through this difficulty, then among the younger generation, his way of doing things will be enough to rank among the top five."

Just as I was thinking about it, someone came over to report that the Xu family was visiting and they had brought several young people with them.

"Xu Ji must be among them. This person is also a direct descendant of the Xu family. He is interested in marrying You'er for his younger brother. This time, he may be able to show his ability by competing with Chen Zhi. It's a good idea to meet him. It's also good to see what the Xu family is like. .”

Thinking of this, he ordered someone to arrange the meeting. However, other people from the Yang family would still do this superficial work. Yang Ji's identity would definitely have to make his final appearance.

But this time did not last long. Not long after, a servant of the Yang family came over and informed Yang Ji that everyone in the Xu family wanted to see Taigong Yang.

Yang Ji nodded and headed there. One of the guards who had been guarding him before seized the opportunity and headed to the backyard of Yang Mansion. There was already a maid in emerald green clothes waiting there.

"Brother Eleven, how are you? Which hero is here today?"

Listening to her words, it is obvious that she is familiar with her.

The guard took the opportunity to explain who was coming.

"The son of the Xu family? I've heard of him. I heard he's a dashing person, and his younger brother is no less elegant." The little maid's eyes seemed to shine, and she was particularly excited, "Well, I don't know what happened yesterday. Compared with Mr. Zhao, which one is more suitable?"

Listening to the maid's excited words, the guard hesitated for a moment and then said: "I just heard the old man mention that the elder brother of the Xu family's young master seems to be at odds with the Chen family's young master Meng Meng. The king of dreams."

"What!?" The maid was surprised when she heard this, "How could this happen?"

The guard was not surprised. Over the past few days, he knew very well that this maid had fallen in love with many young men, especially Chen Zhi, the young man in the dream. When he heard the news suddenly, it was inevitable that he would miss her.

However, after worrying for a while, the maid quickly calmed down, thanked the guard, and left in a hurry.

The guard looked at the maidservant's back, sighed, turned and left.

The maid hurriedly walked all the way and soon arrived at the door of a room in the backyard. After entering, she could smell the fragrance. There was a delicate woman sitting at the table with a scented handkerchief in her hand. As soon as she heard any movement, she looked back. Come over.

"Miss, miss, I heard some terrible news!" As soon as the little maid came in, she hurriedly told the news she knew.

When the pretty woman heard Chen Zhi's name, she immediately clenched the fragrant handkerchief in her hand and asked, "Does Young Master Xu want to deal with Young Master Chen, or does the Xu family want to take action?"

"Is there any difference between this?" The little maid shook her head, "How do I know this? Miss, if you are worried, why don't you come forward directly? You see, with your coming, so many young talents in and outside Luoyang want to be together. When I see Fangze, I want to be courteous when I get the chance, just to see you. If you ask, they will definitely be eager to ask for it."

The pretty woman shook her head and said softly: "Xiao Cui, you don't understand. Those people are not admiring my beauty. Besides, I am just a middle-aged person. Not to mention the other sisters I have met before. She is far more beautiful than me, and even worse than the sister Xuan I have met before. It is not me those people want to see." "I don't understand what you are talking about." The little maid shook her head. Little head, and then the black eyeballs rolled, "But, I can hear it, you are holding on to that Mr. Chen, could it be that you are really tempted?"

"What are you talking about?" The pretty woman quickly waved her hand.

The little maid smiled and said: "Miss, don't be shy. I really don't understand. You have heard Mr. Chen's name, and he rejected the old man's invitation. How come you are thinking about him?"

The pretty woman quickly said: "Don't talk nonsense."

"I understand. You must have heard too much about Mr. Chen's deeds recently. Oh, you just said that those people came here not for your beauty, but they are still so enthusiastic about it. It's too hypocritical. In comparison, Mr. Chen refused directly, that's why..." The little maid was still waiting to say anything, but when she saw that her young lady looked wrong, she finally stopped talking and asked instead: "Then what do you think we should do now?"

"As women, we shouldn't interfere in this matter. The most I can do is mention it in front of my grandfather to see what he wants."

As the pretty woman spoke, she was thinking about what the Taile Department looked like at this time.

………………

"Do you, the Taile Department, still care about our affairs?"

At this time, the hall of the Taiyue Department was already overcrowded. There was no room for people to sit in the originally small main hall. There were about 20 people crowded in, and all of them looked unhappy. , many of them even had a vague sense of confrontation, but they did not get angry. Instead, they took out their anger on the police officers who came and went.

All the officers were sweating profusely. They lowered their heads and smiled while looking out the door, hoping that several superior officers would come over quickly. The group of people in front of them was not something they could handle.

As the smell of gunpowder in the hall became stronger and the voices of debate, argument and scolding became louder, Dong Xu and others finally appeared outside the door.

Suddenly, the officers in the room finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then some officials came to greet them.

"Sir, you are finally here. If it had been any later, I'm afraid this house would have been overturned by those people."

Dong Xu was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly wanted to ask about the situation, but before he could speak, a calm voice came from behind -

"Don't be anxious, tell me the situation first."

The person who spoke was none other than Chen Zhi.

When the officer saw Chen Zhi, he was stunned, but then he followed the instructions and reported: "Reporting to Tai Leling, in this room, people from nine academies came one after another, and they all encountered disputes. I won’t stop even after that, and I can’t persuade anyone!” When he talked about it later, he was still frightened and his face was full of bitterness.

Dong Xu and others also saw at this time that everyone in the main hall looked over and couldn't help but become anxious.

"What's going on, Tai Leling came here at this time, isn't this even more chaotic, what should I do?"

Originally, according to the suggestions of Dong Xu and others, Chen Zhi was not allowed to go there first, and subordinate officials like them were asked to come forward to stabilize the situation, at least to a certain degree of order, and then let Chen Zhi come out to appease, perfunctory and persuade everyone. Leave, first get through the current hurdle, and then call in several people from the academy to deal with them one by one.

It is said that it is dealt with, but in the face of the influence of these academies, it can only be peaceful.

But the comfort of two or two can have some effect. Like this, many academies are crowded together, and the relationship between them is complicated, and the influence of one hair can affect the whole body. It is simply difficult to calm down.

Not to mention, in their minds, Chen Zhi is really inexperienced. Even though his personal abilities are very good, he is not familiar with Tai Leling's specific duties. This can be seen from his treatment of Xu Ji. There was an incident, so Dong Xu and others thought of letting Chen Zhi finally come forward.

As a result, as soon as Dong Xu and others arrived, Chen Zhi came behind. There was no room for maneuver in the middle. How could the incident be settled?
Thinking of the key point, Dong Xu and others couldn't help but become anxious.

Sure enough, someone in the room had already walked straight over, his eyes swept over Dong Xu and others, and finally locked his eyes on Chen Zhi.

"This person is unfamiliar but has an extraordinary bearing. I think he must be the new Mr. Chen Zhichen of Taileling. I have been famous for Mr. Sun Te for a long time. I heard about your arrival and wanted to pay him a visit. Unfortunately, I never found the opportunity. I didn't I thought we would meet in this situation."

Sun Te from Shouzhuo Academy came over and said politely, but as he spoke, he changed the topic: "With Mr. Chen's ability, he can definitely find justice for us. I hope you will be aware of it!"
