Chapter 82: The Game
It was still in the Chun Nuan Pavilion, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were sitting at the top, but the people around them had changed.
Looking at it, many of the common faces that used to be no longer visible, and there are a few more unfamiliar faces.
"Yuanlong, Chen Mo, please take a seat." Seeing Chen Mo and Chen Deng coming side by side, Yuan Shao warmly got up to greet him, although Yuan Shu is still that stinky face, but his attitude towards Chen Mo is no longer the same as before, he has a good relationship with Chen Qi, now that Chen Mo has returned to the Chen family and has been recognized by Chen Qi, his identity is naturally different.
Chen Mo and Chen Deng were arranged to sit in the position of Cao Cao's hand, in this hall, it was already considered to be at the front, Chen Mo probably glanced at the seats of everyone, the seats in this hall are not arranged according to the level of official positions, but those who sit in the front position are basically the three princes or people with great fame, but the common Feng Fang, Zhao Rong and others in the past did not appear, and the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden, except for Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, came to Chen Mo.
With the change of the situation, some people who were very important in the past have now become no longer important, and unimportant people are naturally not qualified to come to this kind of place again.
Everyone saw that Chen Mo was also very enthusiastic, during this time, most of Luoyang's good news was brought by Chen Mo, although those enemies are just small fish and shrimp in the eyes of many people, and they are not a climate, but this does not affect Chen Mo's reputation, and the current big man also needs good news to build momentum for the new emperor.
Look, I have such a young famous general, why worry about the uncertain world
In short, the sound of praise made it seem as if this banquet was Chen Mo's celebration banquet, if it was an ordinary person, I am afraid that he would not know what his surname was in this praise.
Chen Mo is very sensible, most of this boasting is exaggerated, if you can call a famous general by killing a few small bandits, that general is inevitably too cheap, so he just kneels between Cao Cao and Chen Deng, with a polite smile on his face to deal with a person who toasts to him.
"Mo Lang, I will introduce you to a celebrity today." Yuan Shao waited for everyone to say almost, and then pointed to a middle-aged scribe below and said with a smile: "This is a professional lang personally invited by the general, Prince Wang Yun, counting it, you and Wang Jing are also acquaintances, and Wang Yun is his father." ”
When Chen Mo came to Chunnuan Pavilion with Cao Cao for the first time, Wang Jing was among the people who sat with him, and now when he saw Wang Yun, Chen Mo hurriedly saluted and said: "The younger generation has seen my uncle, and my uncle is loyal and unyielding in the face of power, and he is a model for my generation, and I admire it in my heart." "Fastest update on PC:
"General Chen's reputation is excessive, and this is my generation's duty." Wang Yun waved his hand and sighed: "It's a pity that the first emperor has gone, but the eunuchs are especially rampant. ”
Chen Mo nodded in agreement, but didn't answer, this is actually attacking He Jin, Wang Yun is okay to say this, but if he picks it up, then the problem is a bit bit, in this officialdom, many things can't be broken, the old guy sees that he is young, and he is calculating himself, which is bad.
In fact, why didn't He Jin get rid of the eunuchs, Chen Mo probably understood He Jin's thoughts in his heart.
It is not difficult to kill the ten permanent servants, with the new emperor ascending the throne, He Jin's power has risen sharply, and the eight schools in the West Garden, which the ten permanent servants rely on, have all deviated from morality, and now it is not difficult to kill the ten permanent servants, they can, directly attack and cut the ten permanent servants, and there is nothing to do.
But doing so is tantamount to rebellion, even the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes can't afford this crime, and they can only nod their heads to kill the ten permanent servants.
But once the ten permanent servants are killed, even if He Jingui is the general, as today's uncle, a few scholars are willing to sincerely continue to follow He Jin behind him to cheer for him
Relatives and scholars, will always be outsiders, above the court, the conflict of interests will never stop, once there is no ten permanent servants, then the next thing He Jin has to face is these scholars who used to follow him and shout, which is more of a headache than the ten permanent servants.
Don't look at the ten permanent servants at the beginning, but that was limited to Luoyang, even Henan Yin couldn't get out, Chen Mo had already seen it very clearly in Dangli back then, the local officials arranged by the ten permanent servants could not grasp the local real power at all, and they could easily be overlooked by the local gentry, and even many officials took the initiative to curry favor with the local gentry and wealthy families when they went to the locality.
Except for the ten permanent servants who have no threat to themselves, how to choose a great enemy like their uncles
In fact, after seeing through the essence of the matter, this choice is not difficult.
Chen Mo didn't answer, Cao Cao smiled and said: "What Yungong said is very true, but now the general doesn't speak, I can't help it."
Wang Yun really hated Zhang Rang and others, who sent him to prison twice in a month, and sneered when he heard this: "The general is not brave enough, and he is worried about it now, but the forbidden army in the hands of the eunuchs, we will help him seize the eunuch military power, how":
Chen Mo, who had been pretending to drink, raised his head silently when he heard this, and looked at Wang Yun, which he was more interested in.
The forbidden army held by the eunuchs, one is the eighth school of the West Garden, although most of them have deviated, but the most elite military captain has always been in the hands of Jian Shuo, if he can take these military powers, he may be able to divide a part of the people, with Chen Mo's age, it is a little difficult to promote the official position, but the military power in his hands can be increased, and it is also a disguised promotion of the official title.
As for the other part, it belongs to the Wei Wei in Dong Chong's hands, in fact, the soldiers and horses under the Wei Wei are not owned by the eunuchs, but now the prince has not been able to ascend the throne, and the Empress Dowager Dong is unwilling to give up the struggle for power, so the two families are fighting against the increasingly powerful He Ji.
"The sub-master has a clever plan, come quickly" Yuan Shao's eyes lit up and looked at Wang Yundao.
"I heard that Jian Shuo had been ordered by the first emperor, wanted to get rid of the general, was recognized by the general, and was able to escape, Jian Shuo is still here, his heart must be uneasy, the only one to rely on, is to join forces with Dong Chong, we can ask the Son of Heaven to promote Dong Zhong to the general of the chariot cavalry, the military power of the guard, naturally fall into our hands as soon as the guard goes, then Jian Shuo will panic, then there is no need for us to wait for words, Jian Shuo will try to kill the general." Wang Yun said with a smile.
Mingsheng secretly descended, first seized Dong Chong's military power, let the ten permanent servants mess with themselves, and let them deal with He Jin, when the time came, He Jin was difficult not to get rid of the ten permanent servants, and it was reasonable.
"Clever plan" Yuan Shao and others stroked their palms and smiled when they heard this: "Tomorrow, I will offer a plan with the general and promote Dong Zhong to the general of the chariot and cavalry." ”
The general of the Che Cavalry is a fictitious position, under the three dukes, and slightly higher than Jiuqing, but he has no military power, such a promotion, Dong Zhong accepts, then the military power of the guard is gone, do not accept, that is, do not obey the order, not to mention killing, but it is okay to remove his post as a guard captain.
And the ten permanent servants are not having a good time during this time, they may not all be able to see He Jin's intentions, if He Jin moves to remove Dong Chong's military power, he will inevitably mess up, and even if He Jin does not move their minds, at least Jian Shuo will not sit still.
After all, he obeyed the will of the first emperor and was ready to kill He Jin.
Of course, if Jian Shuo could see He Jin's current thoughts, he wouldn't be so worried, but it was not very likely.
Luoyang, which has not been calm for long, is about to make waves again.
When Chen Mo left the Chunnuan Pavilion, he was already a child, and Chen Deng on the side suddenly asked, "What does Brother Mo think?"
Chen Mo glanced at Chen Deng suspiciously, and then thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid it's hard to protect Jian Shuo."
"Brother Mo is really thorough." Chen Deng nodded and smiled: "If Brother Mo wants to go further, after Dong Chong is promoted, he can go to the General's Mansion." ”
Wei Wei, how can it not be Chen Mo's turn, the most likely is Yuan Ji, it is enough for Chen Mo to get some more military power.
"That's exactly what I mean." Chen Mo nodded, looked at Chen Deng and smiled, the next game is not so much a game between He Jin and the eunuchs, but a game between the scholars and He Jin.
This is good for the scholars as a whole, but not necessarily for Chen Mo, although he is also a scholar now, after all, Chen Mo can now be the captain of the first battalion is the limit, once the ten permanent servants are gone, and the scholars begin to officially sing against He Jin, no matter how he turns, it is He Jinzai, Chen Mo can fish in troubled waters.
"But be careful, if you are not careful, you will never recover." Chen Deng looked at Chen Mo and said solemnly.
During this period of getting along, Chen Deng had a clearer understanding of Chen Mo, his brother is not just a prodigy who can be summarized, Wen can write such a passionate and magnificent article as a polemic, Wu can go on the horse to pacify the thieves, and he is loved by the soldiers in the army, and even in this political game, he can also wrestle with Yuan Shao and Wang Yun. This is also the reason why Chen Deng has been staying here.
He wants to give Chen Mo a position, as long as he is there, and shows his support for Chen Mo, the people of Nashi will treat Chen Mo as their own person, with an extra layer of protection.
If there is no support from the Chen family, even if Chen Mo has the ability, tonight's banquet is probably the same as Feng Fang, Zhao Rong and others, and he is not qualified to participate at all, and naturally he will not be able to make the most correct response in the first time.
This night, Chen Mo did not go back to the barracks, but went back to Zang Mansion to rest, and the next game was not in the military power, but in the court.
The next day, He Jin wrote a letter to the Son of Heaven about Dong Chong's merits, and suggested that Dong Chong be promoted to the general of the chariot cavalry.
The Son of Heaven is young, two years younger than Chen Mo, but not everyone is as precocious as Chen Mo, how can he understand this, besides, the Empress Dowager He and the Manchu Dynasty are all supported, Dong Zhong was naturally promoted, and it also announced that after the death of the first emperor, another round of games in the court began.
