Chen Xian, who is over the age of six, is the oldest one in the core team of civil officials in the Han Dynasty, so his foundation is different from others. In the past few years, he has been back and forth at sea several times, although his body bones are still strong, but some can not withstand the toss, so after Liang Shuiting's meeting came back, Zhi Yanchong and Yang Yingqi both said that unless Tanggu is in danger of falling, Chen Xian does not have to go to sea no matter what other major events occur, and if there are major events in the center, such as the Yuan Ministry's Conference, Chen Xian can also send representatives to participate. After receiving the instructions, the children of the Chen family knew that Zheyang meant to let Chen Xian settle in the Yanyun area, so they expanded the Chen family's mansion in Tanggu again to show long-term peace. Chen Chu returned to his home in Tanggu this time and found that the Chen family's mansion was very different from before leaving, and it was worthy of being the residence of the three princes.

When Chen Xian heard that this most disobedient son came home, he was happy with three points of anger, and scolded when he met: "No Xiaozi! Do you know it's back? ”

Chen Chufan said: "If it is filial piety, don't dare to discard it, if it is like Xiao, don't do it." ”

Chen Xian was furious, and Chen Chu smiled and said, "Father, how old are you, why are you still like this." People outside say that you don't move the eight winds, but I think the wind moves when it blows gently. ”

Chen Xian glared angrily, and snorted a light speech that did not answer his son. Chen Chu's brother Chen Yue said on the side: "Brother is confused, isn't he?" In front of outsiders, my father is a great Confucian, so the eight winds do not move, but in front of us we are a loving father, and a loving father is the same as a foreigner? ”

Chen Chu smiled and said, "Okay, okay, but the son is you, I'm not a good son!" ”

Chen Xian really couldn't help his son, so he was angry for a while, so he asked what he had done outside during this time and what his plans were in the future.

Chen Chu said: "Do a little business, there is not much to say." ”

In fact, he has always paid attention to Chen Chu's whereabouts and deeds, and he knows it quite clearly, so when Chen Chu said lightly, "Do some business", he didn't ask much, but said: "Now that you have had enough, it's time to come back and take the right path." Although you are messing around these days, you are finally half serious in your nonsense. At least now the Seven Generals can afford you, and this is the level you will be promoted to in the future. I think so, there is a vacancy in Bohai's commercial and trade officer, and I mention that if the seventh general has no opinion, you will fill it. ”

Chen Chu smiled: "Father, are you confused again?" Don't say that this little business officer is your position as deputy prime minister, and I don't care about it! ”

Chen Xian said: "Bastard thing! Is this what you should say? ”

Chen Yue hurriedly persuaded him, but Chen Chu said: "Brother Yue, don't interject, I have something to say to my father!" ”

Chen Yue thought about it, and then said to Chen Xian: "If that's the case, Yue'er will go out first." ”

After he left, Chen Xian pointed to Chen Chu's nose and said, "Huangkou Ruzi, I don't know how important to speak!" Fortunately, today is my own family, if I let others listen to it, I am afraid it will be a disaster! ”

Chen Chu smiled: "What kind of disaster law? ”

Chen Xian snorted: "I am now a vice premier, which is close to the extreme of a minister, and if I go up again, I will only have the post of prime minister of the seventh general - the seventh general is much younger than me, and I have never thought of replacing him." If you go up again, hey! That's something you can't think about or say! You just said that you didn't take me, the deputy prime minister, in your eyes, could it be that you are blinded by lard and want to rebel! ”

Chen Chu took two steps closer and said slowly: "Father, don't be angry, I didn't mean that. Rebellion is too costly, the benefits are too unstable, and I won't do anything. ”

When Chen Xian heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and Chen Chu said again: "But...... Father, today's world is no longer what my father imagined! This deputy prime minister is said to be a big official and a big official, but if he wants to say that it is nothing, then it is really nothing. ”

Chen Xian frowned again when he heard this, and Chen Chu said: "Father, listen to me, looking at the affairs of the Xinhan Dynasty today, it is imperative for Zhiyan to ascend the throne, and Yang Yingqi is the prime minister, it is also an unshakable thing." ”

Chen Xian bowed his head and said: "Not bad! Absolutely. ”

Chen Chu said: "However, that's just for now, as for the future, well, I'm talking about the next generation, what does my father think will happen?" ”

Chen Xian frowned and said, "What do you want to say?" ”

Chen Chu said: "Father, you, the vice premier, can be regarded as Xuanhe today, but when it comes to the next generation, that is, the eldest brother and the second brother, I estimate that they will be the ministers of the ministries at most, or the local officials, in short, they will be one level lower than you." When it comes to my grandson's generation, that is, my nephews, if there are no outstanding talents, most of them will be one level lower. In this way, the situation is getting worse, and in three or five generations, our Chen family may be reduced to an ordinary local squire, I am right. ”

Chen Xian nodded and said: "It stands to reason that this should be the case, there are only three generations of wealth, and there is no way to do it." He sighed again: "Originally, if you were more motivated, you might not be below me in the future, at least you would be much better than your brothers, but it's a pity that you ...... Alas, you unscrupulous! ”

Chen Chu smiled: "Father, are you confused again?" The world is different now than it was back then. I have been doing this for the past few years, in order to establish a century-old foundation for our Chen family! ”

Chen Xian said in his heart: "A hundred years without falling? Then he snorted again: "Why do you rely on not falling for a hundred years!" ”

"By what?" Chen Chu said: "Naturally, it depends on money. ”

Chen Xian sneered when he heard this: "Money? It's people who protect money, not money who protects people! If you don't enter the official career, no matter how much money you have, you can't keep it! Don't you still understand this? ”

Chen Chu sighed: "That's why I said you are an old brain." Yes, without officials, money cannot be kept. But father, now the time has come to be able to use money to buy representatives of the Yuan people! What is the representative of the Yuan Bu Min? That's what can abolish the emperor! With that thing, even if the children of our family are not officials, they can drive officials like emperors! ”

Chen Xian was stunned when he heard this, and then sneered: "Bastard words! What a representative of the Yuan Ministry, that's just an ornament! It's Zheyang who uses it to buy people's hearts! Can't you see it? ”

"Now, maybe it's an ornament now." Chen Chu said: "But as long as someone doesn't want it to become an ornament, then it is not an ornament!" ”

Chen Xian asked, "Who?" ”

Chen Chu said: "We! ”

Chen Xian laughed and said, "You? You kid has a few taels of meat! Dare to pick up the tiger whiskers of Yan Chong! ”

Chen Chu smiled slightly: "I won't do the thing of picking up the tiger's whiskers by myself, but ...... Just follow behind the people. ”

Chen Xian frowned again - he didn't know how many times he had frowned today: "Who do you want to follow?" ”

"A lot of people." Chen Chudao: "For example, the Lin family, such as the Zhao family, such as the Liu family, such as the Huang family, and so on." ”

Chen Xian sneered: "It's all a bunch of things that can't be put on the table!" Such people, Zheyan slap it all into powder, what a way! ”

Chen Chu laughed and said: "We don't have to have a full-scale conflict with Zhi Yanchong, we don't want to push them down, we just want to let the Zhe family share some power, don't be outnumbered." Besides, for such a big event, the person who takes the lead naturally has to be extremely powerful, and we are just following behind, but it's a pity that you haven't seen the clue yet, father. ”

Chen Xian asked, "Who are you talking about?" ”

Chen Chu didn't answer, but asked: "Father, who do you think is the richest person today?" ”

Chen Xian groaned: "The Son of Heaven is rich all over the world, and the first one is, of course, Zhi Yanchong. ”

Chen Chu said: "Don't count him." ”

Chen Xiandao: "Then, it should be the woman surnamed Lin, or Chen Fengshan." ”

Chen Chu smiled and said: "Yes, the two of them are indeed prominent merchants, but ...... There is one more person who is actually richer! ”

Chen Xian asked, "Who?" ”

Chen Chu smiled: "Who else can there be?" It's my father's top boss, Yang Yingqi! ”
