Lu Dynasty

Chapter 421 General

After Chen Qun knew that Guo Jia proposed to implement the nine-rank system in the Luoyang court, he was very frustrated and said: "My lord, Cheng Gong, I am incompetent in writing! Lu Feng is really a genius, even Guo Jia under his command, I Not as good! In fact, his twelve-part system is already perfect, but there are some inadequacies in the official rank and employment. Originally, I hoped that I could use the nine-rank Zhongzheng system to surpass him, but he also came up with a similar system. It made up for the shortcomings of the twelve parts. I think the reason why he didn't use the nine-rank system on the common people must have discovered something wrong with the nine-rank Zhongzheng system."

Cao also knew that Chen Qun could not be blamed, there were no more people like me in the world.Cao patted Chen Qun on the shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged about Changwen. If you can't wait for Lu Feng to try out his system, let's just copy it!"

"My lord, even if it's a copy, how do you know how Lu Feng set up the structure of the Luoyang court?" Chen Qun was really not at ease with Cao's intelligence department.

"I have a way, maybe I can try it!" Cheng Yu narrowed his eyes, twirling his goatee thoughtfully.

"Zhongde has something to say, hurry up!" Cao was very anxious. Although he said that he would copy my system after I finished the trial, he didn't want to follow me, and always wanted to surpass me.You know, there are some things, if you take a slow step, you can't keep up with every step!But Cao didn't know, he was 800 years behind me!

Cheng Yu smiled and said, "My lord, don't worry. In fact, my method is very simple. Didn't Lu Feng send the shopkeeper of Jimin Restaurant to our Xuchang to make hidden stakes? Why don't we follow Lu Feng's example and send an envoy to learn from Lu Feng?" Of course, we can’t say that we went to learn the system, we just say that His Majesty the Emperor of Xuchang sent someone to take care of his brother!”

"Good idea!" Cao Fu clapped his hands and laughed, but when the topic changed, Cao asked suspiciously: "Zhongde, Lu Feng cannot be judged by common sense. Going to Luoyang has certain risks. Who should we send?" In fact, Cao is also very depressed. If he sends a poor envoy, he may not learn anything. But if he sends a talented person to Luoyang, Cao is afraid that I will chop the envoy.

Chen Qun was already keen on the system. Seeing that Cao was in trouble, the lord asked Ying to say: "My lord, Changwen is a superfluous person under the lord's command, and I have failed the high expectations of the lord. Why don't you just let me go and let me see it?" Look at what Lu Feng, who agrees with me, looks like!"

"Impossible! Changwen is more than just a talent in the system. If there is any danger in Luoyang, I won't be worth the loss!" Cao Aicai is well known, how can Cao let him go to a dangerous place with a talent like Chen Qun!
"My lord is very important, and I deeply engrave the five internals, but besides me, who else under the lord's command is more familiar with the system, and who else understands the nine-rank Zhongzheng system? Rather than letting others die, and the effect that the lord wants can't be achieved, it is better to let the lord I'll fight, maybe I can make a little contribution to the Lord!" Chen Qun knew that Cao wanted to send him there, but he was worried that he would be in danger in Luoyang, and even worried that he would seek refuge with Lu Feng.

Although the Chen family is in Xuchang, if Chen Qun joins me, Cao Na will have nothing to do with the Chen family.The last time Cao and Cheng Yu threatened Chen Ji in the Chen family, it was because the Chen family did not have powerful princes behind them. If Chen Qun took refuge with me, Cao would not dare to touch half of the Chen family.Because the relationship network of the aristocratic family is extremely huge, let's say that Chen Qun's wife, the Xun family, is a relative of Xun Yu's family, and Cao Cao's touching of any family will cause great shock.If when Xuchang was in shock, Chen Qun asked me to take the opportunity to rush in, then Cao Ke would have to go away without food!

Cao knew that Chen Qun was telling the truth, but with Cao's suspicious character, he didn't dare to trust Chen Qun easily.Cheng Yu has followed Cao Ye for more than ten years, how could he not know what Cao was thinking, Cheng Yu said with a smile: "My lord, let Changwen go! Not to mention that only him going will be effective, let's talk about Changwen. Personality, I dare to guarantee it with my life!" Not only Cao knows what Cheng Yu wants to guarantee, but also Chen Qun.

"What does Zhongde want to guarantee? I'm just worried that Lu Feng will be unfavorable to Changwen. Can you guarantee that Lu Feng will not kill Changwen?" Cao was a little embarrassed by Cheng Yu's guess, but Cheng Yu was Cao's most loyal old subordinate. It can still be said that he is the number one strategist under Cao's command. Cao still relies heavily on and respects this strategist who is nearly ten years older than himself.

Chen Qun and Cheng Yu saw Cao pretending to be stupid, and they looked at each other and smiled.Chen Qun said: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely not disappoint my lord's high expectations! My father is in Xuchang, and I hope my lord will take care of him!" Chen Qun's words were mortgaging his father to Cao, although Chen Ji was not a very old man. It is valuable, but in the era of filial piety like the Han Dynasty, unfilial piety was a greater crime than rebellion.

Cao hesitated for a while and said, "Okay, let Changwen go! But you have to pay attention, whether you can learn the system or not, you have to come back alive for me, and I still want to use you again!" Don't look at Cao He was not very relieved of Chen Qun, but what he said really touched Chen Qun.Chen Qun assured Cao again and again that he would definitely return after completing the mission.In fact, Cao asked Chen Qun to learn the system, and I will still pass it on to him.I also don't want the aristocratic families in Cao's territory to join together, otherwise, it would be too much trouble for me to capture Yanxu.The next day, after Cao's approval, Chen Qun came to Luoyang with Liu Xie's edict.

Yuan Shao's envoys were Xu Si and Wang Kai. They stayed in Luoyang for two days and then returned to Yecheng.On the way, they saw Dong Zhao who looked like a beggar, and they kindly gave him a piece of clothing.According to what Xu Si and Wang Kai said, Yuan Cao was an ally after all, and Dong Zhao's ragged appearance not only disgraced Cao, but also disgraced Yuan Shao, who was also an ally!

Back in Yecheng, Xu Si and Wang Kai reported the results of Luoyang and his party to Yuan Shao. When Yuan Shao knew that Kong Rong had come forward, he knew that unless Zheng Xuan and Zheng Kangcheng were present at that time, no one could prevent Liu Bian from ascending the throne.Unfortunately, even if Zheng Xuan was there, he would not question Liu Bian's authenticity.Because Liu Bian in Luoyang is real, not to mention that Zheng Xuan didn't know Liu Bian, even if he did, how could a great Confucian with integrity speak out against his conscience!
Yuan Shao saw that Liu Bian's ascension to the throne was a foregone conclusion, so he didn't think about anything wrong.However, he still wanted the court in Luoyang to recognize him, so he sent Xu Si to Luoyang to write a letter again, asking Liu Bian to make him a general and Marquis of Ye!
