Chapter Eighty-Seven: Chen Zirong
The three sedan chairs soon came to the outside of Scholar Chen's house, and as the sedan chair landed, after the four people came out of the sedan chair, Yang Liu took the lead in knocking on the door.
The door soon opened, and an old servant came out from within, and then greeted Yang Liu with a smile, and then led Yang Liu and the four of them straight towards the mansion.
Obviously, this old servant knew Yang Liu and a few people, so his eyes only stayed on Xia Fan's body for a little more time, but he didn't mean to ask.
Yang Liu and the others were polite to this old servant, and they only cared about gossiping with the old servant, and they didn't think to introduce Xia Fan for a while.
Xia Fan was naturally happy and leisurely, and followed behind a few people slowly.
It can be seen that although this old servant is dressed very plainly, and the whole person seems to be just an ordinary old peasant in the countryside, he must have a very close relationship with Scholar Chen.
Otherwise, with the temper of Yang Liu and the others, it would be impossible to be so polite to this old servant.
Although it is said that this is a world of martial arts cultivation, the peak of martial arts is what the group of people who stand at the top of this world are most eager to pursue.
But within the scope of the outer realms, personal force still has its limit after all, even the supreme martial arts who has reached the pinnacle of mortal martial arts, although he is strong enough to make most people desperate in terms of personal force, he is still not an opponent of the army.
In the face of a well-trained army like a tide, even the Supreme of the Martial Arts cannot compete head-on, so the power veins of the outer regions have always existed in the form of states.
Even the most powerful person in the outer realm will not easily make enemies with a huge country, even if he himself has enough ability to survive in the process of being an enemy of the country, but after all, people are a group of animals, and anyone who starts from the small end and develops in the process of Huazhi will know a lot of friends and friends.
The more people you care about, the more things you naturally have to worry about.
What's more, any country that can gain a firm foothold in the outer realm must have a supreme-level powerhouse who serves the country itself!
And since the form of existence of the state occupies the mainstream, and at the same time, the majority of the world's people are still those ordinary people who cannot cultivate martial arts, then it is obvious that there must be a corresponding number of civil servants to govern the country.
Although Wu can secure the country, only literature can govern the country, which is an eternal truth.
Even if the geographical location of the Great Qian Dynasty is quite embarrassing, among the sixteen countries in the Southern Regions, there are seven countries bordering it, which can be called a place of a hundred battles, but it still attaches great importance to Wenchen.
Although one hand has always firmly controlled the military power, the other hand rarely interferes in government affairs, so the status of Wenchen in the Daqian Dynasty is almost on par with that of military generals.
Although within the territory of the Great Qian Dynasty, the lord of every city was a martial artist with military power, and he was also the nominal supreme ruler of a city.
However, according to the requirements of the current emperor of the Daqian Dynasty, the city lord must basically follow the opinions of the city guards in all matters involving government affairs.
This is also the reason why when Zhao Mingyuan saw Xia Fan, not only did he not have the slightest fear, but dared to sneer wantonly.
No matter how powerful the Xia Liu family is, for the official real power faction, they are only a private force after all.
Chen Zirong, a scholar of Chen, was such a civil servant who occupied a pivotal position in the Daqian Dynasty.
He was born in Qingyang City in an ordinary family, since childhood, intelligent, well-read and strong, when he was young, he was thin and talented, at the age of ten he was already famous throughout Dongshan County, to the age of eighteen to enter the imperial examination, because of his talent and was appreciated by the main examination of the imperial examination at that time, so far all the way to the top.
At the age of twenty-eight, the old emperor died and the new emperor ascended the throne, and his magnificent life unfolded.
In the following forty years of official career, Chen Zirong made Emperor Daqian have mixed likes and dislikes for him because of his uninhibited but jealous and hateful temperament, so that he fell and rose three times, the lowest was once demoted to a white body, and the highest was a ten-year zaifu!
At the same time, such a character also allowed Chen Zirong to meet many like-minded people, and in his forty years as an official, he promoted many people similar to him.
Forty years have passed, and many of the original frivolous scholars are now extremely popular, so even if Chen Zirong retires and returns to his hometown, he still has an unparalleled huge influence in the court.
Chen Zirong is also the most famous Wenchen who has gone out in the remote city of Qingyang, so it is never an exaggeration to say that Chen Zirong is the pride of the entire Qingyang City.
Even the city lord of Qingyang City, Yang Wanli, who is a strong martial artist, must also hold the junior salute when facing Chen Zirong. Therefore, it is natural that Yang Liu and the three of them are so cautious in the Chen Mansion.
Under the leadership of the old servant, the group of four quickly passed through the front hall and entered the backyard of the university scholar's mansion.
The area of this mansion is not large, but it is better than the quiet environment, which is very in line with Chen Zirong's habit of home.
Originally, when Chen Zirong returned to his hometown, the current Emperor Daqian planned to personally approve a house for Chen Zirong in Qingyang City for old-age support, and even in order to reward Chen Zirong for his contributions to the Daqian Dynasty for decades, all the requirements for this house are comparable to the princely system.
However, this idea of the Great Qian Emperor was not realized in the end.
Because Chen Zirong was very out of place, in front of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, he rejected the idea of Emperor Daqian.
The monarchs and ministers have been getting along for decades, and they naturally know each other very well, so for Chen Zirong's refusal, Emperor Daqian didn't have any other thoughts except anger, and saw Chen Zirong's insistence, so he went with him.
And the house where Chen Zirong lived at this time was given by Yang Wanli, the city lord of Qingyang City, after returning to Qingyang City.
For such a gift, Chen Zirong accepted it calmly.
followed the old servant all the way, but Xia Fan didn't see any subordinates except the old servant in the university scholar's mansion, although this house covers an average area, but the front hall and backyard add up to a thousand square meters, and the winding paths are quiet everywhere along the way, and the cleaning is also very clean.
If there are no servants...... Could it be that the scholar himself cleaned it every day?
Just as Xia Fanwu was thinking to himself, the old servant who led the way first had already led them to the place.
Under a large locust tree that looked like it would take at least ten people to hold hands, there were more than a dozen low tables, and several young people were already sitting on the ground at the low table, and at the same time, with extremely admiring eyes, looked at an old man standing in front of the low table.
With the sudden appearance of the four people in Yang Liu's group, everyone's eyes came one after another, but soon these eyes all crossed Yang Liu and the three of them, and then focused on Xia Fan's body......
