Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 326
The two of them finished talking one after another, and then left with a few fellow apprentices. They were angry at each other as they left, as if they didn't take each other seriously at all.

Watching these two people leave, there were still several schools left. They looked at each other, then at Chen Xing, hesitating in place.

Chen Zhi looked at them and said: "Everyone, please leave first. I also know the purpose of your coming here. What will happen in three days is also a demonstration. You can also get solutions to your conflicts, and then they can be separated as well." High and low.”

On the side, Dong Xu and the others looked numb, as if they had given up on stopping Chen Zhi's nonsense, and they all knew that there was no way to take back what was said and the water that was spilled in the presence of so many people.

"I just hope that after Chen Zhi is transferred, I won't be implicated."

Dong Xu and others seemed to have seen the outcome and began to plan how to deal with the aftermath after this incident broke out. In their eyes, after this incident, Chen Zhi's departure seemed inevitable.

On the other side, the remaining people in the academy heard some other meanings from Chen Zhi's words. One person came out and asked: "Tai Leling's words, does it mean that only Shouzhuo can be eliminated in three days?" The dispute between the academy and Nanshan Academy has caused them to differentiate themselves, but our academy is not involved?"

When he said this, the others immediately started shouting, each with his or her own explanation, but the meaning was simply that they were not convinced and wanted to quickly decide the winner.

"Gentlemen, in your hearts, I'm afraid that you don't believe in this proposal." Chen Zhi suddenly said, and as soon as he spoke, he calmed down the scene, "Not only you, but even the officials these few As a subordinate, I feel that this matter is not feasible." He pointed at Dong Xu and others beside him.

"Taile, I'm afraid you have misunderstood." Dong Xu and Zhou Ao's hearts jumped, and they instinctively wanted to explain.

"Don't worry, your thoughts are normal. There is nothing wrong with it. If I were in your position, I would have a question mark in my mind," Chen Zhi said, still looking at the people in the academy in front of him, "In that case, After those three days, instead of convincing everyone, isn't it more important to prove that what I said is not false? First, let you all believe that I have the ability and methods to really let you win. If you lose, then you will concoct it according to the law, wouldn't it be beautiful? Why rush it?"

After he finished speaking, the people in front looked at each other and hesitated more and more.

Seeing this, Chen Zhi threw out another sentence: "Gentlemen, are you really arguing? If you are really serious, just wait a few more days and see what happens in three days. By then, who is higher and who is lower will be decided. , but if it’s just a false intention, just using a temporary dispute to enhance your own reputation, or if you are entrusted by others to achieve unspeakable things, then you can continue to stay, and I will accompany you all.”

Speaking of this, some of them felt a thump in their hearts. Looking at Chen Zhi's calm face, they began to think about retreating.

To put it bluntly, there was a reason for them to appear here. The Xu family and Wang Bu were planning behind it. Now that Chen Zhi had persuaded the two families to leave, and then dropped such a sentence, if they forced themselves to stay, if the news got out, It's not good for your reputation, and it's hard to find a way out.

After thinking up to this point, many people nodded in agreement, handed over to Chen Zhigong, turned and left.

In the blink of an eye, the hall that seemed crowded just now became empty.

Seeing the people leaving, Dong Xu and others felt empty in their hearts. They were not happy at all, but instead cast a shadow.

"Tai Le, can you do what you said?" At the end, Zhou Ao couldn't help but ask.

Chen Zhi looked at it and said with a smile: "You can't do it if you do it. You will know it after you do it. If you don't do it, it will be good, but why should I accept the order and continue to discuss in Xingtan? Isn't it flattering?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Not only were they not reassured, but they became even more worried. But now that the matter had come to this, there was nothing they could do about it.

Chen Zhi smiled and left first. He went to the back hall and called Li Xu and asked him to look for files on articles and music stored in the Taiyue Department. At the same time, he asked several famous article masters to learn about their work. Residence in Luoyang.

"Looking at this situation, Tai Leling really plans to invite Master Wen to give a critique in three days. But doesn't he understand that it is useless to do so? Even if it is a temporary critique, it will eventually be arrogant. Moreover, the limelight of this critique will be huge. In the past, the losing side quickly found trouble again."

As he thought about it, Dong Xu couldn't help but shake his head, but suddenly his expression changed and his whole body trembled.

"not good!"

His big reaction naturally attracted the attention of several people around him, and they all cast doubtful glances.

"I just saw that the situation was not good, so I sent someone to notify other people in Tai Chang Si Yamen. I am afraid that someone will already know about it. What should I do?"

When Zhou Ao and others heard this, they were startled for a moment, and then they all looked worried, seeing the problem inside.Gao Jiang became anxious all of a sudden, and couldn't help saying: "Dong Jun, you are too impulsive. No matter what these people say now, they have been temporarily appeased and left. They don't need the help of other officials for the time being. Once they find out about this, they will definitely come over to ask about the situation, wouldn't they know our problem here, and also show how incompetent our Tai Le Department is up and down!"

"I didn't expect it to be such a result just now." Dong Xu felt aggrieved and wanted to defend himself.

Ma Xuan shook his head and sighed: "It's too late. It's too late to say anything now. The news must have reached other people's ears. We can't do anything. We can only hope that Tai Le can really give an answer in three days." Good answer.”

Zhou Ao sighed with emotion: "Tai Le, although he has a good reputation and good articles, logically speaking, his two articles and some qualifications are enough for criticism, but this matter is not a matter of one or two articles. "

Just as they expected, the news had reached the ears of Mingtang Ling Jifa.

Previously, when Dong Xu sent someone to send a message, he originally planned to invite Taichang, but later considering his status and acting on his own initiative, he changed his goal. Mingtang ordered Ji Fa to be one of his first choices.

The reasons are quite simple. The first is that Ji Fa is not old and has not been an official for a long time. Moreover, his family background is well-educated. After joining the Taichang Mansion, he has good popularity and is relatively easy to deal with; The second one is that not long ago, Tai Chang arranged work and made it clear that Chen Zhi and Ji Fa would work together to be responsible for the contact with Dahonglu. In a sense, the two parties were a community of interests.

Therefore, Dong Xu preferred this person.

"Is everything cleared up?"

After Ji Fa got the news, he immediately confirmed it. When the people he sent came back, he explained everything that happened in Taile Department, including Chen Zhi's promise and the agreement three days later.

"Three days later, it's said that the competition will be divided between the two academies?"

Ji Fa was also surprised when he heard this.

Next to him, there was an old man sitting, who turned out to be Dr. Taichang Xunjing. After hearing the report, this man stroked his beard and smiled and said: "He is really confused."

It turned out that someone came to ask for help just now, and Ji Fa got the news. Someone in his office spread the news to Xun Jing, and the old man actually came over to analyze the situation for him.

Ji Faben had recently become an official, had little experience, and liked to be given advice, so naturally he would not refuse. Now that he had received the news, he acted like he was asking for advice, should he bring someone over now to help.

"It's very simple. Your best choice now is to wait and see what happens." It's complicated, and you know it. This can't be solved and settled by Chen Zhi just saying his name. The big words have already been released, and in the end it will be difficult to step down. Whoever gets involved in this matter will be in trouble, you Why go to the muddy water?"

"But Tai Chang asked me to stay with him..." Ji Fa was worried.

Xun Jing shook his head and said earnestly: "Taichang asked you to contact Dahonglu with him, but he didn't ask you to make grudges with so many academies with him. What he said today is a good idea. , You are making your own decisions. To put it bluntly, you don’t know how to advance or retreat. You have a bright future, so don’t delay it."

Ji Fa asked uncertainly: "Is there really no turning point? After all, Chen Taile is quite capable. Maybe he can get the job done."

“Get it done?” The person who could accomplish such a thing is not a person who got an official position by relying on his fame and some strange combination of circumstances. There are very few people who can do it, and there are very few people who can do it in this world. According to my opinion, unless it is a martial arts Hou Zaisheng and Chen Hou are still alive, so it is possible."

Hearing that the old man, including Wu Hou and Chen Hou, had moved out, Ji Fa stopped asking questions and quickly thanked him.

"Don't thank me," Xun Jing stood up, waved his hands, and showed a kind smile, "I also think that you are a young man who is eager to learn and knows how to advance and retreat, so I came to wake you up. I don't want you to have a great future because of Chen Zhi. Cast a shadow.”

At this point, he lowered his voice and said in a rather affirmative tone: "Chen Zhi may have a bad reputation, but it is not enough. He was originally fine, but after passing his hands, he will become troublesome. In fact, this time It may not be a bad thing for you that the academy comes to your door. If Chen Zhi orders Taichang to be dissatisfied with him and withdraw his authority and prevent him from participating in sacrifices and prisoner sacrifices, it will not only greatly increase your authority, but also To avoid the possibility of extra problems, I hope you will think deeply!"

After Xun Jing left, Ji Fa fell into deep thought.
