The heads of the families were smart people and quickly figured out the key.

Although Liu Yu captured Xuchang and Yingchuan, Cao Cao gave him a salary at the bottom of the kettle when he left, and emptied all the things that could be moved, and even let go of the people.

How important it is for people to have a lot of people, these heads of families are the elite of the elite, who have experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion and so many years of turmoil, they understand this truth very well.

There is no one to talk about, and even if Liu Yu gets Xuchang, it will have no practical effect.

Zhong Mou, the head of the Zhong family, immediately said: "We are all heirlooms of poetry and books, and after a famous family, how can we ignore the common people in the world and the great Han society." The old man proposed that each family do their best to contribute to the court! ”

The heads of the family watched coldly, thinking that if it weren't for your Zhong Xuan being among Liu Yu's henchmen, would you be so righteous?

Guo Tu's Guo family's head Guo Mu also echoed: "Mr. Zhong is right, the imperial court needs us, and Your Majesty also needs us. ”

Xun Chen glanced at Guo Mu, very disdainful of this guy. In the early years, the Guo family snubbed Guo Jia because of the selfishness of the previous head of the family, and Guo Jia, who lost his father at a young age, was looked down upon by the world. If it weren't for the fact that several children of the Xun family were friendly with Guo Jia, relying on the help of the Xun family, Guo Jia would probably starve to death on the streets. In the thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, Guo Jia, who was once snubbed by the Guo family, became Cao Cao's most important adviser. Guo Jia is not a broad-minded person, and he has always held a grudge against the Guo family. If it weren't for the fact that they were all in the same lineage, Guo Jia might have taken revenge on the Guo family.

Guo Jia didn't show his attitude, but Xun Yu knew it. So in the ordinary communication, he quietly alienated the people of the Guo family. The other families also saw it in their eyes, and slowly distanced themselves from the Guo family, so as not to offend Guo Jia. Therefore, the Guo family was not so popular under Cao Cao. The former head of the Guo family was forced to give up his position as head of the family because of this incident, and his cousin Guo Mu took over.

Now that the Guo family can puff up their chests and be a man, Guo Tu, who they were optimistic about before, has now joined Liu Yu and has become a powerful military advisor.

Anyway, the Guo family has turned over, so they naturally have the confidence to speak out.

The two men set an example, while the others remained silent.

That's not enough.

Xun Chen smiled at Chen Mo, the head of the Chen family, and asked, "Mr. Wende, Ding Xingwang of the Chen family in Yingchuan, I don't know if this Yanzhou Chen family has any relationship with you?" ”

As soon as Chen Mo heard the Yanzhou Chen family, he knew that Xun Chen was talking about the Chen Palace, in the final analysis, let alone the Yanzhou Chen family, even if the Chen family in other places was more or less related to the Yingchuan Chen family.

"In terms of seniority, Chen Gongtai can be regarded as the same generation as a certain one." Chen Mo said.

Xun Chen nodded, since this is the case, the Chen family will also contribute.

At this time, the housekeeper outside the door came in and reported: "Master, there is a person outside who claims to be Chen Gong Chen Gongtai and has come to pay a visit." ”

Everyone else was talking about it, Chen Gong was one of the most important advisers under Liu Yu, and this time he came, it wouldn't be Liu Yu who was going to do something to them. Xun Chen stood up, he thought about what Chen Gong was doing?

"He's coming alone?" Xun Chen asked.

"Yes." The butler bowed his head and said.

If you come alone, it's not a hands-on approach.

"Hurry up, please!" Xun Chen said quickly. In fact, Xun Chen wanted to go out to greet him in person, but because of the face of the Xun family, he couldn't go too far.

Chen Gong saw that the Xun family just invited him in, and he was secretly angry in his heart: I, Chen Gong, am also an important minister under the command of Emperor Shenwu, the minister of military aircraft and a military advisor, and no one from the Xun family came out to greet him, it is really too much, no wonder His Majesty will look at these people unpleasantly.

It wasn't until Chen Gong came to the hall that he found that almost all the family heads on the ground of Yingchuan had arrived, no wonder no one from the Xun family came out to greet him.

"So you're all here! Chen is polite here. Chen Gong bowed to the heads of the family.

"Lord Chen is polite." All the heads of the family returned the salute to Chen Gong.

Xun Chen hurriedly arranged a seat for Chen Gong next to him, glanced at the housekeeper, and said, "Lord Chen came just in time, please sit down." Come on, serve the best tea! ”

Chen Gong also sat next to Xun Chen unceremoniously.

After taking a sip of the Xun family's best tea, Chen Gong felt that the Xun family was really a wealthy family, and even the tea was better than others, except for the tea in Liu Yuhuang's palace, I am afraid there was nothing else that could be compared.

"Good tea!" Chen Gong couldn't help but praise.

Xun Chen smiled, can it be good, this is the best tea he has always treasured. Usually he is reluctant to drink it himself, and only when the big man comes, Xun Chen will let the housekeeper take it out, so he will give the housekeeper a look just now. Of course the housekeeper knew how to do it.

As soon as the other family owners smelled the fragrance of Chen Gong's tea, they knew that it was different from their own, and scolded Xun Chen in their hearts for being kind to one over the other, giving Chen Gong such a good drink, and drinking it inferior to others on their own side.

"I wonder what advice Master Chen gave when he came to the Humble House today?" Xun Chen asked.

Chen Gong arched his hand and said: "Today, Chen Mou is here for you!" ”

Xun Chen was sure in his heart, Chen Gong's words showed that he was in contact with the Yingchuan family, and Emperor Shenwu Liu Yu was going to envelop them.

The other heads of the family also smiled, and it seemed that His Majesty valued them very much.

Chen Gong saw all this in his eyes, they were all a group of short-sighted guys, if I hadn't risked my life to confront Your Majesty, you guys wouldn't have this expression.

"Mr. Gongtai." Xun Chen changed his address to Chen Gong, and said in a softer tone: "Can you elaborate?" We really don't know what Mr. Gongtai means. ”

Chen Gong knew that Xun Chen was pretending to be stupid, and Liu Yu's situation would be known to all the families in Yingchuan, even if they didn't know, they could guess it.

"If you are so intelligent, why do you say such a naughty child? Are you all gathered here to write poetry? Chen Gong said jokingly.

Mr. Gongtai laughed. We are gathered here today to serve Your Majesty! Xun Chen said.

Mr. Yuruo laughed again. For the allegiance of His Majesty where it is necessary to gather together. Are you here to discuss some ulterior secrets? Or do you want to rebel? Chen Gong's face was very unkind.

Rebel!? The hat is too big.

Xun Chen couldn't help but shed a drop of cold sweat.

"Master Chen misunderstood. Give me the courage to wait. We are all great good citizens. Xun Chen immediately defended.

"They're all good citizens!? I don't know what this good citizen says? Chen Gong asked again.

The heads of the family were stunned in their hearts, this Chen Gong's tone was very unkind, could it be that he came to find fault? Or is he tempting us?

Xun Chen was secretly angry in his heart, what did Chen Gong's move mean!?

For a while, the atmosphere in the whole hall became very depressing.
