Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 517 The sight of Tu Qiong’s dagger is shocking

"Brother Wang, Brother Zhu, I didn't expect you to come too."

Tang Dian and Liu Baoding stood up first and greeted each other with tacit expressions on their faces.

"Gentlemen, I know what you are thinking," Wang Huo smiled bitterly when he saw the expressions of the two of them, "But from what you two said, you should not have been forcefully invited here."

"What do you mean? Could it be that Wang Jun and Zhu Jun did not come here on your own initiative, but were forcibly invited?" Tang Zi also stood up at this time and noticed that behind Wang Huo and Zhu Xian, there were also There are many people following them, and you can recognize them at a glance, knowing that they are all descendants of the gentry with countless names from this generation county and generation county.

These Daijun clans had all expressed their indignation at Chen Zhijing's attempt to swallow up the Zheng family during previous discussions, and decided to unite and put pressure on Chen Zhi.

Now people from Luoyang, including several convoys, may be here to visit Chen Zhi, which has created Chen Zhi's influence. It is normal for some small tribes not to dare to stroke his tiger's beard, so they rush over to betray him, let alone the small tribes. , even families like the Tang family and the Liu family, didn't they rush over to express their attitude?
But the sudden arrival of so many people made Tang Zi realize that something was wrong. Combined with the meaning of Wang Huo's words, he immediately felt a little bad in his heart.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Wang Huo on the opposite side sighed and said in a rather emotional tone: "You and your family are here in advance. Wang understands your thoughts and will not blame you, because our Wang family is here After getting the news, I had the same thought, but the opinions in the family were not unified yet, so I couldn't make an immediate decision and fell behind. Unexpectedly, we didn't send anyone out, but the prefect sent someone over. Please People from all the families came and said they had something to say.”

When Tang Zi heard this, his heart thumped and he secretly thought something was wrong.

Even Liu Bao and Liu Qing, who are not very sensitive people, can hear the different smell inside.

Tang Dian glanced around, taking in the faces of everyone present, and couldn't help but sigh: "I invited people from all the major families in Dai County all at once, and they all sent their talkatives and important members, but no one dared to disobey. , This is the end of the road, even if there are no other arrangements later, it has already allowed Taishou Chen to establish enough prestige among the Daijun family."

His words made everyone present fall silent, and they all realized that the past few days had been turbulent, and Chen Zhi's seemingly reckless move, combined with the subsequent series of blows, had already shocked the entire Daijun family.

Zhu Xian added: "Taking the Zheng family makes people shocked, swallowing the family property makes people fearful, inviting Luoyang makes people respect you. Now that we are afraid of him, we are already at a disadvantage, so with his order, we are at a disadvantage." Come, no one dares to disobey. Even if you are unwilling to obey, you are still worried that other families will obey. If you don't go, you will be virtually independent and out of place. Once something happens, you will have no way of knowing. .”

"So, the next step is to show kindness," Tang Dian made a judgment, but noticed that Tang Zi beside him was hesitant to speak, and couldn't help but ask: "What? Do you think it's not the case? The ones who have always been accepted into the palace, and those who show kindness and power are the ones who are chosen first, isn’t it possible that Governor Chen doesn’t want to do that?”

"I'm afraid the prefect wants more than just subjugation." Tang Zi just sighed and kept silent.

Others still wanted to ask more questions, but a boy came over to announce that Chen Zhi was coming, and asked everyone to take their seats.

Because it was not a formal banquet, although there were clan heads and elders among the people invited, they were all from small clans. Among the four major families plus the Liu family, no one could be considered the one who could make the final decision. Not up to standard, so they all sit on chairs. "Everyone, thank you for the compliment." After Chen Zhi arrived, he didn't talk nonsense. He sat on the upper seat and talked calmly, "Because the time here is limited, I just changed into regular clothes and I have to go see him. Here are some visitors from Luoyang, let’s not talk nonsense. I invite you here this time for two main things. The first thing is to entertain the distinguished guests from Luoyang.”

Everyone was on tenterhooks when they saw Chen Zhi walking in. They didn't know what kind of words Chen Zhi would say, whether it was related to the Zheng family or their previous plan to force the palace. However, when they found out that it was related to the visitors from Luoyang, they couldn't help but feel relieved. Take a breath.

Chen Zhi looked at everyone, noticed their expressions, and continued: "I believe you have all received the news. This group of people are here to visit me..."

Many people looked quite unnatural when they heard this, but Chen Zhi was not affected and continued to say: "But Luoyang is the imperial capital, and all of them are big families, controlling all the lifeblood of the Han Dynasty. My county is located in The frontier cannot be said to be barren, but it is far behind the rich land in the south. But if we can get help from the rich families, we will definitely make a leap forward. Therefore, the reception of Luoyang is not my job alone, but an opportunity. They come Visiting people, but walking around Daijun, eating Daijun meals, and meeting Daijun people, I don’t need to say how valuable it is, so I hope that in the future, all the major families will need to contribute!"

When everyone heard this, they nodded and said yes, saying that they would try their best. At the same time, they breathed a sigh of relief and felt that it was not an unacceptable proposal. They were just relaxed, but they were still a little worried, because they were thinking about Chen. As for the second request, the first request is not excessive, but what about the second one?Are Tang Zi's worries just now unnecessary?

"Since everyone has agreed, that's good. With your help, I believe everything will be foolproof. Then, the next step is the second thing."

Chen Zhi looked at everyone, nodded with satisfaction, and laughed: "Recently, Daijun's territory has been unstable. The arrival of people from Luoyang is an opportunity, but also a danger. They see Daijun's good deeds, and they will be of great use to Daijun's development. But if we are in danger in Dai County, the impact on Dai County will not be temporary, and it is likely to affect the overall reputation."

When he first said it, everyone didn't think anything of it, but the more he said it, the more people present felt that something was wrong, and felt something bad in their hearts.

Sure enough, after Chen Zhi said a few words, he made it clear: "So this second matter is related to the reputation of Daijun and the safety of the visitors from Luoyang. You need to use the weapons in your family to Gather your strength and let me unify the drills and form an army to prepare for accidents..."

At this point, it can be said that everyone in these families understood Chen Zhi’s true intention!

"Are you trying to seek the power of our family? This appetite is too great! It's even more whimsical!"

People from many aristocratic families, including Tang Zi, were extremely surprised by this proposal, and did not think Chen Zhi could do it at all.

But at this moment, Chen Zhi said with a smile: "You don't need to be too busy to refuse, let's take a look at these first before speaking." Before he finished speaking, a boy in green clothes came over and distributed books to everyone.

Before anyone could open it, Chen Zhixian said, "I'll go greet the guests from Luoyang first. You guys can take your time and watch."
