Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 383

Six months ago, Chen Zhi got married.

Donglang's quick son-in-law.

Nowadays, many people use this idiom to formulate the Yang family's choice of son-in-law. People in Luoyang talk about it. When news of the marriage reached Pengcheng, people in Pengcheng also described it in this way.

In fact, according to the rules and etiquette, Chen Zhi had to go to Pengcheng to get a wife. After all, that was the foundation of his family. However, due to various reasons and the fact that the emperor wanted to visit in person, the matter was finally handled in the capital. But Pengcheng Zhu Chen did not miss the opportunity. Chen Chi, Chen Bian, and Chen Xun came in person to attend the wedding together with Chen Yong as the groom's parents.

What the man in the Baijia Tea Shop said was actually the reason for the allusion to Donglang Kuai's son-in-law. This matter can be said to be known to everyone in Luoyang.

Even the two foreigners could not help but nod and said: "When I came here, I heard about Chen Jun's marriage on the road. I didn't expect that there was such an allusion in it. It's really a good story."

However, there are also those who are quick-thinking, knowing Huang Tong's consistent style, and guessing that since this scholar who is good at analysis and calculation has asked this, what he is going to say is probably not what everyone knows, and maybe it is not what everyone knows. Is there any other secret?

So, in order to show their intelligence, they couldn't help but search for other explanations.

Thinking about it this way, some people remembered a lot of details.

There was one person who said first: "The story of Donglang's quick son-in-law is indeed a good story, but it is somewhat exaggerated. After all, that disciple of Mr. Yang not only visited the Chen family, but also other families. After careful consideration, the final decision was made.”

This remark opened the minds of others.

"Yes, what Chen Jun did at that time was unparalleled among the younger generation. It is natural for the Yang family to like him. Not to mention, at the court meeting just mentioned, Huang Siwei wanted to praise him. When Chen Jun was killed, wasn't Da Si Nong the one who came forward to kill him? At that time, he and Chen Zhi were not Weng's sons-in-law. The reason why they came forward must be that they valued Chen Zhi's knowledge and ability and had already made up their mind to sell him. Favor.”

"Yes, it took a long time for the Donglang incident to come forward to defend Chen Zhi. If he had already thought that Chen Zhi would be a good son-in-law, why would he have to wait for such a long time?"

"I've heard that it's the young lady of the Yang family. Before she got married, she already wanted to belong to her, and the person she belonged to was Chen Jun! It is said that Mr. Yang dotes on his granddaughter, and there is nothing wrong with it. Fortunately, Yang A woman knows etiquette and has never exceeded the rules of etiquette. She only loves Chen Jun and often talks about it. Perhaps because of this, Mr. Yang and Da Sinong made up their minds."

"I also heard that Yang Nu is also a talented woman who knows the piano and knows the book, and Chen Jun is even more wonderful. The Yang family sent someone to ask the prince's intentions. According to the situation of the two families, the prince agreed happily, and then I asked Mr. Chen to come over and discuss with him, but Mr. Chen said that this matter cannot be resolved by one person, so he arranged to have a conversation with the girl of the Yang family through the curtain, knowing what she wanted, and asked and answered a few words before agreeing. After returning, Chen Jun also said in private that Yang Nu was very strange and had her own intentions. Only then did the Chen family know that Chen Jun was also satisfied with the marriage."

After the last person finished speaking, he waved his hands when he saw everyone's gaze and said, "Don't look at me like this. I didn't just hear it from hearsay, nor did I make it up randomly. My family is also related to the Chen family, so I know this."

Hearing what he said, everyone was amazed.

Huang Tong added: "I don't know, there is such a story in it, it is really a good story, but what I want to tell you is not this. Do you still remember why I mentioned Chen Jun's story?" marriage?"

Everyone just woke up from a dream and came to their senses one after another. Many people even laughed.

"I almost got fooled by you, didn't I? I asked where Chen Jun would be the county guard, and I wanted to know how you found out about it?"

"That's right, after talking about it, Chen Jun's marriage was involved."

"The Yang family married a daughter, and the Chen family married. The situation is indeed not small. One of the two families is a wealthy family, and the other has a national scholar. Even today, people often mention it. It is normal for me to forget the scale when I talk about it."

As they talked, their eyes focused on Huang Tong again. Some of them were flexible, thinking about the relationship between before and after, and making vague guesses.

Especially the two foreigners, who seemed to be mingling with everyone and laughing together just now, now suppressed their smiles. The one who had been speaking asked more tentatively: "Could it be that you and Da Sinong were speaking for Chen Jun in the court?" Something about it?"

Huang Tong smiled slightly and said: "It's right to say it's related. In fact, the key is not Da Sinong, but the person opposite him at that time."

"The guy opposite? Isn't that Huang Si?"

"Who is Huang Si? He can compare with Da Sinong? He's talking about the person behind Huang Si." "I see. No wonder Huang Wen mentioned that the three families forced Chen to do something. Could this be the follow-up? Where is Mr. Chen going? Being the sheriff, is it related to this?"

"Actually, there is a very clear context here." Huang Tong said, took off the lid of the tea cup, stretched out his fingers and dipped water in it, dropped it on the table, drew a water line, and followed it One end of the waterline is a little bit.

"Three families forced Chen, but Chen Jun was so talented that he couldn't suppress him, so the alliance of the three families collapsed..."

After finishing the first dot, he raised his hand and lowered it. On the side of that dot, he drew the second dot, and continued: "Afterwards, Chen Junxing's comments made him famous in Luoyang, and he walked to Honglu Temple and Taichang Mansion. , overall planning and consideration, it is a great ceremony, the contribution is very great and cannot be erased."

After drawing the second point, he paused and then drew the third point.

"Afterwards, while the court was discussing the Xiongnu affairs, they wanted to reward their merits. Huang Si wrote a letter saying that he wanted to give Chen Jun a position as a county guard. But everyone also understood that this was not a good intention, so Da Si Nong and Da Si Nong Honglu, Taichang, Taipu and other ministers came forward to stop him and suppressed Huang Si."

Everyone couldn't help but nod. They felt sorry for Huang Si just now, but they also knew that Huang Si brought it on himself after all.

Everyone knew very well who the person behind Huang Si was. After all, at the end of the court meeting, that person saw Lie Qing come forward, so much so that he went on the stage in person, but failed to do so. How could he give up, let alone The advantage of Ma Zheng is that he has been ruined by others one after another. If he does not regain his position, his prestige will also be damaged, and the foundation of the family will also be harmed——

Among the aristocratic families, in addition to the struggle for interests, there is also the struggle for reputation. After all, this is not the pre-Qin period. The aristocratic families are like a country. Even though they have arrangements now, they are still bound. The Han emperor arbitrates, there are scholars supervising, and people's opinions vary. , and it can also make the power of aristocratic families wax and wane.

At this time, Huang Tong came to the fourth point and said: "After that, the person seemed to quiet down and no longer moved. Immediately afterwards, various comments came up one after another. The people of Luoyang were famous, and Chen Jun was famous. , Marrying a beautiful wife, getting five grades, can be called the pinnacle of life, and this position of secretary and supervisor is comparable to the rank of a county magistrate, which actually explains the problem."

The secretary supervisor is the fifth rank, and the county guard is also the fifth rank. If Chen Zhi is released as an official, as a scholar, and has many credits, it must be impossible to be lower than the fifth rank. Considering the dispute at the court meeting, As long as he is released, a county guard will be inevitable.

"So, if Chen Jun is released as an official, he must be the prefect of one place!"

After the voice finished, Huang Tong also finished drawing the fifth point, which happened to be at the end of that straight line.

After the words fell, everyone was silent.

But soon someone else said: "But that's not necessarily the case. The fifth-grade official is not only a county guard, but also a county guard. Furthermore, Chen Jun is a central official in Luoyang. This is the road of an upright official. He can rise to the top. If he becomes an official In just one year, he has become a fifth-rank official, in charge of important affairs of the province, and has friendship with all the ministers. Since becoming secretary supervisor, he has successively assisted Taichang, Honglu, Taipu, Tingwei, etc. The new Tingwei who is about to take office Zhang Ruo, I also have friendship with him, why do you need to let the prefect out in such a formation?"

Everyone nodded, and then looked at the person who spoke. Only then did they realize that it was also a familiar face.

"This is Liu Gang from the Liu family in Pengcheng. He is a friend of Chen Zhi. He has a traveling friendship with Chen Jun and is a family friend. He now has a good reputation in the city. Some of the ministers appreciate him and want to invite him to serve as an official. .”

"It turns out it's Mr. Liu, you're polite." Huang Tong stood up and saluted, "I know the friendship between Mr. Jun and Mr. Chen, and I dare not hide it. The person who asked the person to write the letter originally wanted Mr. Chen to be the county governor. It seemed like he was recommending him, but he actually had other intentions. , thinking about his considerations, the county he chose must be a place where it is not easy to achieve success. In today's world, if there is peace in the county, even if the county guard does nothing and uses Huang Lao's skills, he can still get a result during the evaluation. There is no merit, no fault, you can get promoted after a few years. In contrast, the poor mountains and rivers of the frontier are different. You need to do things, and you don’t say whether it will be done well or not. Whenever you do something, you may make mistakes. In addition, the frontier The tribes are not well-known and do not practice etiquette, and they often invade, so not only are they ineffective, but they may have made mistakes. Therefore, Huang concluded that the county where Chen Jun went should be regarded as such a bad place."

"But I also said that Brother Chen may not go there," Liu Gang shook his head and expressed his opinion, "According to the path of many virtuous ministers, Brother Chen can sit in the capital and plan for it."

Huang Tong sighed and said: "If it were normal times, of course it would be like this, but the man who failed to achieve his wish in the court at that time was blocked by several ministers. It was not that he had done nothing during this period. For more than half a year, he had been planning and preparing. If we attack again, it won’t be the same situation as that time.”

Liu Gang still shook his head and said: "I know who you are talking about, but those people are in the position of public officials. If they want to make plans, they wouldn't just plan for half a year for a junior brother Chen, right? Wouldn't that be out of style? ?Furthermore, Brother Chen has a good background now, and he is not that easy to bully."

When everyone heard this, they all nodded, feeling that the words were on point, and were waiting to see how Huang Tong would respond.

But he saw the man smiled and said: "The gentleman is right, that kind of person will not condescend to be condescending and plan for half a year for a fifth-grade official, so his plan is very big. Although I admire Mr. Chen, but facing that person, Mr. Chen They are still weak, and that person's half-year preparations are naturally not aimed at Chen Jun, because Chen Jun is just incidentally..."

At this point, he suddenly lowered his voice and said softly: "Recently, the Li thieves in Shu have rebelled again, and the King of Guanghan has ordered troops. It is difficult to juggle several positions, so... the position of the master of the Shangshutai will be determined! If nothing happens, , think it’s that person!”
