"Teacher." When Chen Mo returned to the government office, he saw Zang Hong packing up his books and bowed respectfully.

"Mo'er came back just in time, these clothes are prepared for you, Luoyang is not as good as Dangli or Xiaqiu, it is more decently dressed, and some people in the province are underestimated." Zang Hong saw Chen Mo, a smile appeared on his face, if he said that the most proud thing in his life was to accept Chen Mo as a disciple, he learned quickly, he was able to touch the bypass, and he was both civil and military, chess, calligraphy and painting were good, and the most important thing was that Zang Hong saw his disciple learn so fast.

To tell the truth, since the first year of Zhongping, Chen Mo has been with him for four years, at the beginning, Zang Hong can teach Chen Mo a lot of things, but now, Zang Hong feels that it is difficult to teach Chen Mo anything, what Chen Mo lacks now is travel, knowledge, and the integration of what he has learned, not what he has learned on the bamboo slips.

This is also the reason why Zang Hong sent Chen Mo to Luoyang, Luoyang is the capital of the Han Dynasty, and talents from all over the world gather here, Chen Mo can only learn more when he goes to Luoyang, and he can go further in the future.

"Thank you, teacher." Chen Mo bowed to Zang Hong, sighed and said, "Teacher, the imperial court is now trying to promote you, why is the teacher ......?"

"No money." Zang Hong took out a long sword from the box, looked at it carefully, and only replied lightly to Chen Mo's words.

Is there really no money?

That's not it, as far as Chen Mo knows, his teacher's father was a great figure in the past, he served as the general of the Xiongnu Zhonglang, Zhongshan Taishou, Taiyuan Taishou, and also pacified the rebellion of the demon thief Xu Zhao, just the court rewarded a lot, not to mention that the Zang family is also a big family in Sheyang, the family has a lot of land, and the money to buy officials is really not bad, and this is not a bribe to eunuchs, it is a normal appointment and dismissal of officials in the imperial court, and the teacher's merits are enough to deserve the position of a Taishou.

However, Chen Mo knows better that his teacher is a person, and he seems to be witty and humble on weekdays, but he is full of arrogance in his bones, which is a silent protest to the imperial court's system of buying officials.

Chen Mo pinched his eyebrows, knelt on the mat, and thought for a while: "Have you ever thought about the teacher, this position should be a teacher, and if the teacher sits on it, it may be able to benefit one party, but if someone else goes up, I am afraid it will be difficult for thousands of people." ”

Buying officials and selling lords was not the first thing in the Han Dynasty, but it was the only one who was most criticized in this regard, in fact, Chen Mo could understand the meaning of the Son of Heaven.

The imperial court has almost lost control over the locality, and it is not easy to get this control back, selling officials and selling knights, this is not a good move, and the officials who come up through buying officials are mixed, but these officials can break the circle of scholars gradually formed in the local area, and have an impact.

If you want to talk about a clever plan, in Chen Mo's opinion, it really doesn't count, but for the big Han who is gradually losing control now, the biggest effect of this trick is actually not in these official buyers, but the people who are being oppressed, in the past three years, in Qingzhou alone, the rebellion has never stopped, and Chen Mo personally defeated a lot of rebels or traitors, and these traitors, to a certain extent, will cause harm to the local clan circle.

If you look at it from the top down, it does shake the monopoly gradually formed by the scholars, but if you look at it from the bottom up from his point of view, the Son of Heaven's move is tantamount to using the foundation of the Han Dynasty to exchange sons with the scholars, and the playing style of losing both sides, so it is not a good chess.

"Seems to make some sense." Zang Hong sighed, knelt down with the sword, groped for the sword and said: "But people should have their own persistence, if I turn a blind eye to this and continue to be promoted, I may be able to benefit the people, but so what? If the whole world is so filthy, how long can the people of the blessed side enjoy the blessings of the silent Erjue? ”

"There will always be some more, and it will be good for the people to be better for a few days." Chen Mo shook his head.

"The real problem isn't here." Zang Hong shook his head, Dahan's problem now is not the official's problem, what he wants is to express an attitude to the imperial court, looked at Chen Mo and said with a smile: "Someone has to come out and tell the imperial court, tell the Son of Heaven that he is wrong." ”

"The teacher said that it is easy to change fortune, but it is difficult to change life, since the destiny has been decided, why should the teacher bother?" Chen Mo thought for a moment.

"So, people and people's ways are different, you are my disciple, but your way seems to be different from mine, as a teacher, even you can't change it, let alone others? But whether you can do it or not is always a little different. Zang Hong said with a smile.

"The truth is so ......" Chen Mo sighed, this is the direction that his teacher has identified, unless it is really wrong, it will never be easily changed.

But is the teacher wrong?

No, in fact, this is exactly what Chen Mo admires about his teacher, he believes that if his Tao needs to pay for his life at the moment, his teacher will not hesitate, let alone an official position?

"You, you are gifted and intelligent, you are an immortal talent, you have experienced hardships since childhood, and you have the tenacity that ordinary wizards do not have, go to Luoyang and have a look, maybe you can find what you want there." Zang Hong said with a smile.

What do you want?

Chen Mo suddenly fell into confusion, he had worked hard to study and improve his horizons over the years, and now, he suddenly found that he had worked hard to strengthen himself in the past few years and make himself better, but when he became good enough, what he was looking for in the past seemed to have changed his taste when he looked at it now.

"People are not confused and vain young people, this sword was given by my father to be a teacher, when my father wore this sword to kill the enemy at the border, but unfortunately, although the teacher is also proficient in the art of fighting, but not proficient, and do not like this way, you have learned swordsmanship, and this sword will be given to you." Zang Hong gave the sword to Chen Mo and said: "The name of the sword is Chengyuan, although it is not a famous sword, but it has been full of thief blood, I hope you don't insult this sword." ”

"Thank you for your generous gift!" Chen Mo didn't push back, solemnly took the sword, groped with the scabbard and said: "If he is lucky enough to command the army in the future, he will definitely not insult the prestige of the master." ”

"This time, go directly to Luoyang, and don't go back to Xuzhou." Zang Hong stood up and said.

"Why is that?" Chen Mo was puzzled, he still wanted to say goodbye to his mother, although he would go home with the teacher every year, he still couldn't stop thinking about it.

"Madame may be happy, and she may not want you to do anything big, but I feel that this day seems to be about to change, go to Luoyang first, and come back after becoming famous." Zang Hong smiled.

Recently, the court has been in turmoil, and the game between eunuchs and generals and scholars has begun to spread to the government and the opposition, although Chen Mo may not be able to help, but this is Yang Ming's opportunity.

"If you go at this time, you may not be able to come back." When Chen Mo heard this, he looked at the teacher a little speechlessly, feeling that he was pit disciples.

"It's not as dangerous as you think, go ahead, if you don't go through the wind and rain, you are a genius, and you may not be able to succeed." Zang Hong stretched out his hand and looked at Chen Mo with a smile.

"No need...... Chen Mo looked at the teacher's gesture, a little embarrassed: "The disciple is no longer a child now, the teacher is so ...... that people can see it."

"In my eyes, you're still a child after all!" Zang Hong rubbed Chen Mo's head strongly, and then said in a low voice: "Mo'er, cherish all the way, there are some things in life, only if you have experienced it yourself, you will understand the mystery." ”

"Like men and women?" Chen Mo raised his eyebrows.

"If you understand it that way, you can't do that!" Zang Hong laughed out loud when he heard this.

Chen Mo shook his head helplessly, stood up and said, "Then the disciple went to pack his bags." ”

"Go ahead!"
