Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 346 Can You Compete?
"My lord, you are a virtuous man who has always been highly virtuous and highly respected. You should be at the table."

Chen Zhi invited Wang Yan into the building. Everyone along the way saluted and watched Chen Zhi invite Wang Yan to the front.

Wang Yan walked this way with a smile on his face and nodded frequently.

After all, those who were invited by Chen Zhi were either celebrities or everyone. They were all virtuous and well-known. There were almost few who were not top-notch locals. There were more than 20 people, and everyone showed respect. It also made Wang Yan very useful.

However, as soon as Chen Zhi said his words, Wang Yan immediately reciprocated the favor, shaking his head and saying: "How can it be like this? Chen Xiaojun is the real host today, how can I overshadow the guest? It's better to invite Xiaojun to the table."

The two sides delayed each other for a while, and Chen Zhicai sat down according to the etiquette, while Wang Yan sat on the honorable seat.

After Wang Yan sat down, he looked around and saw everyone in the lobby. He was quite surprised. He couldn't help but underestimate it in his heart: "I didn't expect that Chen Zhi's influence would reach such an extent, even though he had some prior knowledge." I knew that after the review meeting, Chen Zhi would be taken seriously by many people, but under the pressure of the three companies, so many people were invited, which shows that they are all optimistic about the literary review."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly nodded, looking at Chen Zhi who was talking and laughing happily with everyone, he became more and more appreciative.

Originally, he admired Chen Zhi, but he was able to accept the appointment more because of the request of Director Wang and others. Now, even without the persuasion of Director Wang and others, Wang Yan felt that accepting Chen Zhi's appointment was a good thing. The right choice.

As for the literary review, this old man also valued it very much and cared about it. Even if his reputation was high enough, no one would dislike Qing Shi's reputation. What's more, even if Wang Yan didn't think about himself, We must also consider the position of the Wang family.

The Wang family is in a period of growth. During this period, if they can make achievements in literary affairs and gain a good reputation, it will undoubtedly be the icing on the cake.

If Wang Yan is like this, let alone other people, such as Luo Xun and his ilk, originally planned to come and wait and see, wait and see, and then make a decision, but in fact, before coming, they didn’t think much about it. I was optimistic that there wouldn't be many people coming, so if I went there, it should be quite important and would be treated seriously by Chen Zhi.

Unexpectedly, I found that many other people had also come over. The reputation of Luo Xun and others suddenly became nothing and could not be seen, so all the thoughts in my heart changed.

"It's really unexpected. I thought there wouldn't be many people. Who would have thought that when I came here, I found out that there were so many people. Many people shouldn't have come at all. Didn't they say that all three families came to talk to them? Why did this happen? ?”

While these people were thinking about it, several more people arrived sporadically. After the agreed time, 27 people arrived.

You know, the number 27 does not sound like a lot, but these people are not celebrities in those places, nor are they celebrities who studied literature and martial arts in hundreds of teahouses. Instead, they have already had a reputation and laid a foundation for their respective careers. In circles and fields, people with big names are not even ordinary industry leaders, but can be called industry pillars, and some can be called mentors.

Even Liu Jin, the master of the Zhimin Pavilion who was quite hostile to Chen Zhi before and came to look for trouble, but was cracked by Chen Zhi three times, five times, five times and two times, also came to the door. This Liu Jin can be called a master in terms of music; His achievements are also recognized by Luoyang. He was entrusted by someone to find Chen Zhi before, but he had bad intentions. By some mistake, he was considered to be close to Chen Zhi, so he stayed behind closed doors. However, he also heard about the evaluation meeting. news, I was even more surprised by the subsequent changes, and my thoughts changed. Therefore, after receiving Chen Zhi's invitation, I thought about it again and again, and accepted the invitation based on the idea of ​​​​playing it by ear.

It was a big deal for people like this to gather 27 people at once. It was enough to watch a seminar, and it had a huge impact.

However, the invitations that Chen Zhi actually sent were far more than 27, but more than 60, involving more than 60 people from various industries and fields.

As the capital of the New Han Dynasty, Luoyang gathers the best of the world. Anyone who pursues something, no matter what profession they are in, will eventually gather here. Whether it is for the purpose of rule or the pursuit of prosperity, the nobles of this country and dynasty As long as there are nobles and venerables such as nobles, nobles, nobles, etc. who are of good character, they will come to the capital for a visit, so more than 60 people cannot be considered too many at all.

When Chen Zhi sent invitations, he also selected people to send them to. Great masters like Guo Xiang, who had not been around for a long time, were devoted to learning, or simply closed up in books, etc. Such people did not send invitations.

On the other hand, these 60-odd people are also involved in many fields. Some people hold multiple positions and have extraordinary attainments in several fields. Therefore, these 60-odd people may sound like a lot, but in fact they are still a small number.

However, not long after Chen Zhi took office as Tai Leling, three more companies suppressed him. It still surprised many people that he could invite so many people at the first invitation.

At least Lu Ying, Liu Gang and others were greatly surprised. After Chen Zhi and Wang Yan sat down, the two of them went to the back to give instructions to the owner of Xunmei Tower, and then found Zhao Xing and Tao Ya. Then Liu Gang couldn't help but sigh, the content was that it was unexpected that Chen Zhi could call so many people to come.

Lu Ying was also surprised and echoed: "Yes, I thought that Brother Chen was suppressed by the three families. Even if there were arrangements, there would be shortcomings in the end. Having eleven or two people here would be the best situation, but I didn't expect that something unexpected happened. It went well as expected." As soon as the two of them spoke, Zhao Xing and Tao Ya looked at each other and laughed.

"Why are you laughing?" Liu Gang and Lu Ying suddenly didn't understand.

Tao Ya said: "Brother Zhao and I have discussed this matter just now. Based on what Brother Chen said in the past two days, I probably understand the reason and why Brother Chen dared to send out the invitation at this time."

"Oh? Is there a reason for this? Tell me quickly!" Liu Gang suddenly became interested. In fact, they were also doubtful about Chen Zhi sending an invitation at this time. They were afraid that the door would be deserted when the appointment came, but Chen Zhi was not. Full of confidence and not worried at all.

Zhao Xing did not show off, and said directly: "Because, before, we all thought that Brother Chen was very good at using influence. It was because of the success of the evaluation meeting that many people took him seriously and were eager to pass the evaluation meeting. Increase your reputation.”

"Isn't it?" Lu Ying frowned, thoughtfully.

"This is just one aspect. In addition, Brother Chen's influence has shaken many minds and caused doubts. For example, Luo Xun and others did not really come to the banquet. In fact, they came to see the situation. I have no intention of making a decision immediately. If there are few people, they may not come back. As a result..."

Liu Gang had already understood and said: "In the end, because many people came to see it with such thoughts, the number of people suddenly increased, and those who were aware of the situation changed their minds and stayed. ! But they don't know each other, and they are tempting each other."

After understanding this, Liu Gang suddenly felt relieved and said with a smile: "It seems that we are sure of it again this time. Think about it. Brother Chen has acted like this in the past. Which time has it not been like this?"

"No, it's still a bit risky," Zhao Xing shook his head, "Brother Chen's invitation is just to let these people come over, but whether they can convince them to truly accept the invitation of literary criticism, and even the invitation of music and temperament criticism in the future is still a matter of light." After all, it depends on Chen Zhi's methods."

Zhao Xing was not the only one who could see this. Xu Ji, who was being summoned by his father, also said the same thing: "Chen Zhi has invited people here. This is true, but how many people can he convince?" People are still unknown, so I’ll keep an eye on it, and you should go back and inform your father of my decision!”

The steward Xu Pi looked embarrassed, because when he came, he knew that the old man's intention to summon him was quite firm, and it might not be easy to explain, but his own master also used an unquestionable tone, and in the end he could only smile bitterly. He said that he would go and report first.

When he was going out, he saw another bullock cart stopped. A scribe with long sleeves got out of the cart and walked into Xunmei Tower with people shouting from behind.

"Isn't this person Zhao Yuan who is both excellent in calligraphy and painting? This person is a famous romantic and celebrity, arrogant and unruly. Could it be that Chen Zhi also sent him an invitation card? This is also possible. This person is not very old, less than four years old. Ten, but looking at him like this, it doesn’t look like he can come to the meeting honestly, maybe he can really cause some chaos."

Thinking like this, Xu Pi was in a hurry to go back and report, and could not stay to wait for the results, so he didn't know that Zhao Yuan entered the building. He was quite calm at first, and even made some conciliatory gestures, but when he entered the lobby, Seeing this room full of people, I was stunned.

"Why are there so many people?"

In doubt, he immediately restrained himself a lot, bowed to Wang Yan and other elders, and sat on one side, his uninhibited madness much restrained.

His arrival did not cause any disturbance. After everyone glanced at him, they looked at Chen Zhi again.

"Is this person Chen Zhi?" Zhao Yuan was not ashamed. He looked around and saw that Chen Zhi was talking eloquently, talking about "literary criticism", "music criticism" and other words. Many people nodded repeatedly.

"I have also heard this review. I heard that it is the same as the previous review meeting, except that there are more people participating. I just don't know how it can be organized with so many people."

Thinking in his mind, Zhao Yuan listened to Chen Zhi's general talk, and after tasting it, he felt that there was indeed something wonderful about it, but then he randomly shook his head and shouted loudly: "Chen Taile's words are very subtle. It’s just that Zhao has something unclear. I wonder why Tai Le makes us obey? Is it just relying on authority and some false reputation? I have a suggestion here. I heard that Tai Le has great attainments in articles, calligraphy, etc., can you wait with me? Compare?"
