Chapter 519: Sincerity
Chen Gong smiled at the corner of his mouth, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea beautifully, and said to himself: "Good tea needs people to taste it." No matter how good the tea is, if you don't drink it all the time, no one will ever know how good it is. ”
The heads of the family were all stunned by Chen Gong's words, and they couldn't figure out Chen Gong's thoughts.
Xun Chen was thoughtful, Chen Gong would not talk nonsense, so his move must have a deep meaning.
Xun Chen said quietly: "I'm afraid Mr. Gongtai has misunderstood. ”
Chen Gong felt that he couldn't do too much, and it was time to make things clear, so he threw his hand to the sky and doubted, and said, "It's nothing to have a misunderstanding below, but Your Majesty has something else to think about!" ”
"Did Your Majesty have a misunderstanding with my Yingchuan family, or did I say that my Yingchuan family has caused Your Majesty to be displeased?" Xun Chen asked anxiously.
The other family heads were also very anxious, if Liu Yu had opinions about them, it would be a big trouble.
Chen Gong saw Xun Chen's appearance, and knew that this guy was pretending, and Xun Chen knew how to cooperate, and said: "Your Majesty has been worried about state affairs recently, and I can't sleep at night for the sake of the world." My heart aches when I look at it as a courtier. ”
"My Han has such a saintly and benevolent king, it is really a blessing for us and other Han people." The heads of the family immediately complimented Liu Yu, wanting to use Chen Gong's mouth to spread the word to Liu Yu's ears.
Chen Gong continued: "Your Majesty is already deeply tired from dealing with state affairs every day. I don't know who spread rumors in front of His Majesty, telling that the Yingchuan families are still involved in Jian'an, and even secretly rebelled! His Majesty was furious when he heard this, and wanted to send troops to calm him. ”
"Ah, what a little slander!"
"After I Yingchuan is loyal and good, how can I do a move without a king and a father."
"Such villains will not die well!"
"Master Chen, you have to be the master for us."
The heads of the family said emotionally, they really don't have this mind, and even if they do, they are only a few people, and they have nothing to do with other people.
Xun Chen is the most anxious, Yingchuan family should be the only one who has contact with Emperor Jian'an's side, after all, Xun Yu and Xun You and others are all serving on Cao Cao's side, and Liu Yu will also do something to his Xun family if he wants to do it.
The other family heads also had a gray expression, in case Liu Yu really sent troops, the fire at the city gate and the fish in the pond were repeatedly banned, and they were really worried that such a thing would happen.
"I also know that you are innocent, and after many efforts for your reason, Your Majesty pressed the idea of mobilizing troops." Chen Gong said.
"Lord Chen's high wind and bright festival, I can't thank you enough." The heads of the family were grateful.
"Originally, Your Majesty's anger had subsided under the advice of my colleagues and other colleagues. However, some people made suggestions to His Majesty, saying that Yingchuan was unpredictable, and His Majesty came to Xuchang in person, and there was not necessarily a person in Yingchuan who came to see him. Even seeing the difficulties of the imperial court, there was no action. This is a policy of watching from the wall, and it is recommended that Your Majesty should not be easily trusted. Although we have the intention to maintain it, we have no way to start. Chen Gong pretended to say.
These are all made up by Chen Gong, where there are so many plots, they are all for the next purpose.
The heads of the family were silent, they were really ready to continue to wait and see, and it was a fact that no one went to see Liu Yu.
Chen Gong knew what kind of virtue these people were, and what he said just now was directly into the psychological crux of these people.
Xun Chen coughed to relieve the embarrassment and said, "Lord Chen came here in person today, and he must have made great efforts. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to wait so easily. ”
"Everything is Your Majesty's wisdom, and we are only doing a small bite. His Majesty asked me to come down to Yingchuan to observe and see if it was as others said. If it is true as those people say, I am afraid that something unbearable will happen. Chen Gong said with a smile.
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that this was the case, and there was still room for things to turn around, so they were relieved.
"Who is the head of the Zhong family?" Chen Gong didn't say anything related, but asked other questions.
"In Xia Zhongmou, I don't know what Lord Chen commands?" Zhong Mou immediately came out to answer.
"Don't dare! I have always been good friends with Yuan Chang, and if I have time, I will go to your house to visit. Chen Gong said with a smile.
Zhong Mou said beautifully: "If Lord Chen comes to the Humble House, it will be the honor of the Zhong family. The old man waits for the arrival of the adults. ”
The heads of the family were envious, and it was no secret that Zhong Xuan and Chen Gong were on good terms in Yingchuan.
"Lord Chen, there are a few sons and nephews in the old man's family who are quite competitive, and they have always wanted to contribute to the country, but unfortunately there is no way to serve the country. I wonder if Master Chen can give them a chance? Zhong Mou said while the iron was hot.
"That's easy to say." Chen Gong said quietly.
Without a clear answer, Zhong Mou was a little disappointed.
Suddenly, a head of the family stood up and said, "Lord Chen, my Huang family is willing to donate 1,000 stone of grain and grass and 500 gold to share your majesty's worries!" ”
"The Huang family? Could it be the queen's own family, the Huang family? Chen Gong asked in surprise.
"The queen mother is indeed a branch of my Yingchuan Huang family. The old man was honored to be a relative of the queen. The head of the Huang family said.
"The sincerity of the Huang family master, I will definitely tell Your Majesty and the Empress in the future!" Chen Gong put the word "sincerity" very seriously.
The heads of the family all understood, and it turned out that this was sincerity.
"The Zhong family is willing to donate 2,000 stones of grain and grass to Your Majesty, a piece of gold, and 500 slaves to relieve Your Majesty's worries." Zhong Mou was bleeding a lot for his son and nephew.
His efforts were not in vain, and Chen Gong said affirmatively: "The head of the Zhong family is indeed the pillar of the country. There is a highly respected person like the head of the Zhong family presiding over the Zhong family, and his sons and nephews must be virtuous and capable people, and they will make suggestions to His Majesty in the next step. ”
Zhong Mou smiled and said nothing, with this result, this heavy bleeding is worth it.
The other heads of the family also understood. Liu Yu's territory is so big now, the purpose of Chen Gong's visit this time is to win them over, so that the children of their family will have the opportunity to enter Liu Yu's command.
So they gave generously.
"My Chen family donated 1,000 stones of grain and grass!"
"The Wang family donated 500 gold and 300 cloth to express their gratitude."
Wait a minute.
"The Cui family has a small business, but they do their best to donate 200 cattle and 100 mules and horses to Your Majesty." Cui Jun of the Cui family said loudly.
"Oh, the Cui family? Dare to ask Cui Lie Cui Weikao, who are you? Chen Gong asked in surprise, Liu Yu is most lacking in cattle and horses now, and the ones who can think of this are definitely talents. In front of him was a young man, exuding the aura of wisdom all over his body, Chen Gong saw people very accurately, and knew that this person was a great talent at a glance.
"In Xia Cui Jun Cui Zhouping, my father Cui Wei is old." Cui Jun said.
Chen Gong was in awe and said, "It turned out to be the queen of Zhongliang." Cui Weikao sacrificed for the country, and His Majesty has been looking for you and so on. I didn't expect your Cui family to arrive in Yingchuan. I am willing to recommend Zhou Ping to His Majesty, I wonder if Zhou Ping is willing to be an official and benefit the world? ”
Cui Jun said excitedly: "Good wishes! ”
To be honest, Cui Jun has really not been easy these years. Cui Lie's high-ranking officials were bought with money in order to increase the prestige of the family. But Cui Jun was very disgusted, and there was a huge disagreement between father and son. Cui Jun was angry, ran away from home and came to Yingchuan.
But who knew that this separation was the last time father and son met. When Cui Lie was in Dong Zhuo's rebellion, he was killed by Guo Yan in order to protect Liu Xie. That's why Chen Gong said that Cui Jun was loyal and good.
The Cui family has become depressed since then, and Cui Lie can only settle down in Yingchuan.
The other people looked envious, jealous and hateful, why didn't they have such an opportunity.
Many family owners also thought that Liu Yu was now ploughing cattle or something, why did he bring it up just now, and was preempted by an outsider. It's a bit late to add it now.
"Your sincerity is already clear below. I believe that you are all great citizens! Chen Gong finally made a summary.
"I hope Lord Chen will have a lot of kind words in front of His Majesty!" The heads of the house said.
"Well said. It's not too early, and I'm going to return to Xuchang to report to Your Majesty. Zhou Ping, why don't you go back with you to meet Your Majesty? Chen Gong said.
"It is a blessing to see the face of heaven." How could Cui Jun refuse.
