Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 382 The person who plays the piano in the east corridor can be my son-in-law
These two people were originally sitting in a corner of Baijia Tea House. After asking, they also stood up and walked towards Huang Tong.

When they were sitting, others didn't think much of it. When they stood up, others noticed that these two people were very tall, more than half a head taller than ordinary Luoyang people.

In addition, they have thick beards, big arms and round waists. If they are not wearing Confucian uniforms, their expressions can be regarded as elegant, but just like this, they will inevitably be regarded as robbers who cut paths, and they will not be allowed to enter the shop——

Although Baijia Tea Shop is a tea shop, most of the visitors are children of aristocratic families. They must at least be educated and be scribes. Otherwise, even if they come in, others may not pay attention to them, and most of them will be invited out.

This can also be seen from Huang Tong's dress. His family background is obviously not good, his clothes are made of ordinary materials, but they are also neat. He also dresses like a son of aristocratic family, which is not rejected by others.

Going a step further, Chen Luo entered the city and was led to a tea shop. When others saw Chen Luo, they roughly saw where he came from and had no intention of making friends. They waited until Chen Luo announced his identity as a younger brother of the Chen Zhi clan. There were so many people flocking to go over and chat.

It's the same at this moment, the two people's costumes have passed the test, but their appearance is too weird, they were sitting in the corner of the tea shop before, and almost no one paid attention to them, but when they made a sound at this time, everyone followed the sound, and there was no intention of getting close to each other.

But Huang Tong looked at the walking movements of the two and said with a smile: "You two are not from Luoyang, or even from Gyeonggi Province. The accent sounds like they are from the north. I think your words and deeds are quite generous." Qi, could it be that he is a hero in the land of Yanzhao?"

He has made a lot of comments recently and has gained prestige in hundreds of tea shops. Therefore, when he heard what he said, others were surprised. Looking at the two big men, their eyes were different?

A visitor from the land of Yanzhao?
The two people were also surprised. One of them, with a slightly sparse beard and shorter stature, clasped his fists and said, "I didn't expect sir's vision to be so accurate. Yes, we two came from the north."

Huang Tong was quite pleased with himself. He stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Without him, I left Qingzhou and went around Hebei before entering Beijing. So I can distinguish one or two. There is a faint wind between them when they are walking. It should be I have also practiced martial arts, and from what I heard, your words are quite unruly, and I think you are a light knight, and I haven’t asked two great names for advice yet.”

The man laughed and said: "My two nicknames are nothing to mention. For some reason, I went south to look for someone. I knew that Luoyang was the center of the world, so I came to take a look. I also knew that the hundreds of tea shops in Luoyang were all gentlemen. , so I came over and took a look, and it turned out that it was indeed the case.”

Hearing what he said, everyone couldn't help but be delighted, and looked at the two with a much more friendly expression.

"Your Excellency is quite eloquent, but that doesn't match his appearance. Since you don't want to tell me your name, I won't press you. If you ask me if I know that Chen Jun is going to be a prefect, then I'll give you an accurate answer." Huang Tong looked at it. Looking at the two people, he smiled and said, "This is true, and it should be in the north. Even if it is not on the side of Bingzhou, it is still a county in Hebei. There must be wars in the area, people are displaced, there are many threats, and even at any time It may be drowned in the front of the Huns."

When everyone heard what he said, they couldn't help but take a breath. According to what he said, Chen Zhi's prefect was not easy to be a governor. They couldn't help but feel strange in their hearts. They didn't understand that Chen Zhi had made such great achievements in succession. People, why are you treated like this?This shouldn't be the destination of the hero. What's the reason?
At the same time, they also wanted to know which county Chen Zhi would be assigned as the governor.

Of course, they were even more surprised. They didn't know about such a thing, so why did Huang Tong talk about it in exactly the same way?You must know that among them, there are many sons of important ministers and ministers. They are well-informed, but they have only come into contact with some rumors and do not know the specific contents.

Could it be that Huang Tong and Huang Si are related by blood, as secretly rumored?But listening to his previous discussion, it didn’t sound like it at all.What's more, these hundreds of tea shops are the places where news of Luoyang circulates. The background behind the tea shops is said to be very important, but if there is any trouble in Luoyang, the hundred tea shops are the first to know, and if they can reveal it, they will go through it. What comes out of the storyteller's mouth cannot be revealed, either because it involves secrets or because the information has not yet been determined.

There was nothing certain about the tea shop, so how did Huang Tong know?
This question was asked by the foreigner: "From what I heard from Mr. Chen, I clearly know which county Chen Jun is going to. Can you tell me? But I'm really curious, Mr. Huang, where did you get the news?" .”

"You man, I'm kindly answering you, but you actually want to test me?" Huang Tong said with a smile. Seeing the expressions of the people around him, he could guess their thoughts, "Well, let's make it clear. You are so suspicious, what words come out in the end, people will misunderstand me."

After hearing his words, everyone immediately became energetic and were waiting to hear a story. Unexpectedly, they heard Huang Si say something like this -

"I have no blood relationship with Huang Si, let alone someone with unpredictable origins, and I don't know the court's arrangements, let alone which county Chen Jun will be assigned to."

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other, and then looked at Huang Tong with doubts on their faces.

Is this over?

"Of course it's over, otherwise what else do you think?" Huang Tong noticed everyone's doubts and changed the topic, "However, although I don't know which county Chen Jun will go to, what I just said was not made out of nothing, but calculated based on the situation. It was deduced." It was the outsider who was the first to come to his senses and asked as if asking for advice: "I would like to hear the details."

"This matter has to start before the ceremony, during the literary review," Huang Tong said carelessly, facing the doubtful eyes of everyone, "There was a saying at that time, called three families forcing Chen, which means that there are three Several big families joined together to deal with Chen Zhi. I won’t say which ones specifically, so as not to cause trouble. Although the court will not be punished for words, the big families are not that tolerant. I am not afraid of the court, but Afraid of the big family, besides, you have lived in Luoyang for a long time, how can you not know about this? You two are from far away, if you don’t know, you can go find someone to ask."

Everyone nodded, and the outsiders and fellow countrymen also looked the same, the person who kept talking said: "I have heard about this matter."

"That's easy to talk about," Huang Tong nodded and continued: "You probably all know what happened after the three families. Because Chen Zhi was outstanding in talent, the family made peace with him. The children in the family who had conflicts with Chen Jun were expelled from the family. In Jiangdong, one family gained a lot in the evaluation, but later died down, and another family seemed to have retreated, but in fact it was just lurking."

Everyone nodded silently after hearing this. They knew exactly which three companies Huang was referring to in the call.

But some people are wondering: "What does this have to do with Chen Jun being appointed as the prefect?"

"Of course it has something to do with it, because Chen Jun's background is not small now. Back then, he still had a few ministers to help him, and the emperor favored him, so he wasn't so active." Huang Tong paused, took a sip of tea, and suddenly changed the topic: "Everyone , Chen Jun got married half a year ago, have you ever seen the scene at that time? Even the appointment certificate of the fifth-rank secretary supervisor was issued before that, because the emperor wanted to use this as a gift."

Everyone was very puzzled, how could he talk about the three families forcing Chen, but Huang Tong changed the subject and changed the topic to Chen Zhi's marriage, but everyone recalled the scene at that time and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Why don't you know? Marrying a daughter from the Yang family is a big deal!"

"Yes, Secretary Chen was very popular at that time and his reputation was unparalleled in Luoyang City. Even the scholars who were praised in various reviews could not compare with him."

"Yes, the young lady of the Yang family showed off her beauty and intelligence. Mr. Yang brought her to Luoyang. I don't know how many talented people flocked to her and wanted to kiss her. There were also several banquets because of this. It's a pity that no one could fall into the eyes of Mr. Yang in the end. .”

"It's interesting to say that Mr. Huang Sihuang was not mobilized so quickly and in such a hurry. Just because the emperor wanted to give Mr. Chen a congratulatory gift, he forced the officials to do it before the wedding. Complete Chen Jun's transfer so that Huang Si leaves in embarrassment."

"I was lucky enough to be present at the wedding that day. The scene was filled with gongs and drums, harps and harps, and the guests included ministers, important ministers, and many ministers. Even the Zhuge family sent people there, and the remaining Zhao family, Xu family, People from the Guan family and others came, and it was even more surprising that the emperor finally came in person!"

When everyone mentioned this matter, they became excited again. They kept talking one by one, and the more they talked, the more excited they became, and they couldn't even care about the previous topic. Full of smiles.

Huang Tong's voice sounded again at the right time: "You all must know that the Yang family is more than ten times stronger than the Chen family, but Mr. Yang is willing to marry his favorite granddaughter to Mr. Chen. Why?"

Nowadays, there are four powerful families in the northern family, called two kings, one Yang and one Xun. They are also called Dong Wang, Xi Yang, and Bei Wang, Nan Xun.

The king of the east is the Wang family of Langya, the king of the north is the Wang family of Taiyuan, the Nanxun family is the Xun family of Yingchuan, and the Xiyang family refers to the Yang family in Guanzhong.

The four northern families are compared to many aristocratic families in Jiangzuo. In the New Han Dynasty, the south dominated the north, and the southern families had the most weight. However, in order to balance, the emperor also supported the noble families in the north. Northern families also rose, such as the Yu family and so on. In this list, the above four families rose rapidly after the demise of Cao Wei and Yuan Zhao, relying on their deep foundation and correct alignment. They are still far behind the top wealthy families in Jiangzuo, but they are similar. In the north, they represent the power of the aristocratic families. peak.

The Yang family's married daughter naturally had a profound influence and became a popular story. When Huang Tong asked, everyone hurriedly said.

"I know about this matter. It is said that Yang Gong once sent his disciples to the Chen family to watch Chen. At that time, all the Chen family's disciples were in the courtyard. Some looked nervous, some were eloquent, or some were at a loss. Only Chen Zhi was sitting in the east corridor, playing the piano calmly.

When the disciple went back and talked to Duke Yang, Yang Jie, the son of Duke Yang and the great farmer on one side, praised him: "How good is the man who plays the harp in the east corridor!"You can be my son-in-law! "
