Chen Jin's marriage came to an end, and after the young couple lived in Luoyang for more than a month, they went to Shouchun to take office, Chen Jin's identity has been exposed, but now Chen Jin has proven his ability, and now he is the Taishou, although he is not old enough, and his qualifications are insufficient, but he is going to Jiujiang and other places full of swords, although the hundred officials in the court have whispers, but it is not easy to stop them.

Chen Mo is now in his prime, but the second generation of the Chen family has also begun to show his talents, not only the eldest son Chen Jin is both wise and brave, and the second son Chen Zheng is also brave, which makes many political enemies hidden in the dark a little helpless, and I don't know whether to say that Chen Mo teaches his son well, or whether to say that Chen Mo will give birth to a son?

But whether Chen Mo's position is becoming more and more stable or the Chen family is full of outstanding people, it is not a good thing for those who stand on the opposite side of Chen Mo.

In the fourteenth year of the Han Dynasty, because of the civil war caused by books, Chen Jin recaptured the fat and married the Bu family girl, but it was not so eye-catching, after all, for people who don't understand military affairs, Hefei is just the next county seat in Jiujiang County, not even a county town, laying down such a city, what is worth writing about, as for Chen Jin's marriage, a Jiangdong clan is just a family of Jiangdong scholars, there is no foundation in the Central Plains, and there is no need to worry about how powerful the other party is.

The year passed, and the time came to the fifteenth year of Han Zhu, I don't know when it started, this time seemed to have become faster, for Chen Mo, it didn't seem to feel much, time just slipped away quietly, as if he had done a lot of things, but it didn't seem to have done anything.

"What is the husband looking at?" Cai Yan was wrapped in the quilt, and the fair-skinned jade bi stretched out from the quilt to help Chen Mo tidy up his clothes, and couldn't help but show a little spring, seeing Chen Mo staring at her so directly, even if it was an old husband and wife, he was still a little shy.

"I'm looking at Madame and I'm still so moving." Chen Mo smiled, but he sighed in his heart that the years were urging people to grow old, the former beautiful girl, unconsciously became a woman with charm, although it still makes people look comfortable, but the crow's feet at the corners of the eyes made Chen Mo feel a little distressed, reaching out and groping his wife's face, Chen Mo's voice was a little soft: "Madam, things at home have been hard over the years, Mrs. ”

"Why did you say that?" Cai Yan didn't understand why Chen Mo suddenly said this, shook his head and said, "I can be with my husband, and my concubine is not bitter." ”

"When the world is too peaceful, the husband will take his wife to travel all over the thousands of rivers and mountains, the sunrise in the East China Sea, the sunset in the cool desert in the West has a unique charm, many places, the husband wants to take his wife to see it together, is the wife willing to go with him?" Chen Mo smiled.

"Where the husband is, the concubine will be there." Cai Yan lowered his head to help Chen Mo sort out his clothes, and said softly.

"That's it." Chen Mo asked Cai Yan to lie down again, and said with a smile: "Mrs. was tired last night, continue to rest, and leave first for her husband." ”

"Hmm~" Thinking of lingering at night, Cai Yan snorted lightly.

Chen Mo smiled and got up to leave.

"After the past two years of brewing, now there are more and more private schools in various states and counties, and some big families around the country have begun to establish their own academies, which does have a certain impact on the three schools. In the meeting hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Sima Yi helped Chen Mo summarize the changes in the world in the past two years.

Before the flooding of books, people wanted to ask for learning, poor students can only rely on the family, Chen Mo founded three schools, to these poor or unvalued Shu people to see another way, it can be said to break the monopoly of a part of the scholars on knowledge, but now the flood of books, the past kind of hard to find a book is gone, with the popularization of printing, as long as you can buy books in a decent city, although a little more expensive, but at least price, you can't afford to buy books in the bookstore, you can also buy some cheap books in the small bookstore, Although the texture is not too good, the content is all the same.

And the big families began to open their own academies, and also grabbed some students from the imperial court, and many Shu clans and poor families naturally chose their own academies or academies with a close relationship with their own families to study.

However, there is only one family in Luoyang, and every year the officials are also sent from Taixue, and it is also the only way to go to the official career through the academy, so these students will eventually gather in the academy, as long as Taixue is in the hands of Chen Mo, the more the academy is built, the happier Chen Mo is, he is not afraid that these new academies will threaten the three schools, one Taixue is not enough, you can build two or three Taixue.

"Good." Chen Mo nodded and smiled: "In this way, we can cultivate more talents for the imperial court, otherwise, if you only rely on the three studies, how can you let all the bachelors in the world return to the imperial court?" Chen Mo smiled.

"The prime minister is open-minded, rare in ancient and modern times." Sima Yi sincerely admired, he is now helping Chen Mo to be responsible for the statistics of students in various academies, and the statistics of outstanding disciples, he knows very well that in this game that seems to be the family to regain the right to talents, in fact, everything is the result of Chen Mo's secret promotion, and the family may be able to benefit, but Chen Mo is the final big winner, these families, if they go on the current path, they are just cultivating talents in Chen Mo, because the final selection of talents is not in the family academy, it must be selected by Taixue, As long as he controls this, Chen Mo will be invincible.

"By the way, how is the exploration of Shudi?" Chen Mo is not too repulsive to this kind of flattery now, even if he knows that the other party is patting on the back, but he can't punish people because they say good things, right? Keeping Sima Yi by his side, firstly, because he was worried about Sima Yi's rise, and secondly, he was also a person who wanted to study and study this kind of life.

At present, it seems that Sima Yi can't see the slightest sign of confrontation with Chen Mo, but Chen Mo also knows the change in his personality, if he doesn't have this opportunity, he may not be able to show it for the rest of his life, but if he is given this opportunity, it will be different, just like Chen Mo, he didn't think about dominating the world at the beginning, what he wanted at that time was to become a minister, strengthen the Chen family, if possible, help the Han family, and do a career, but sometimes in life, I can't help myself, I don't want to let those bad things show, the best way, It is to eliminate the possibility of him standing in this position in advance.

After two years of observation, Sima Yi's ability is rising, but his life is declining, which also proves Chen Mo's guess in disguise, this life is not constant, it can only be said that Sima Yi has that trait, but if the prerequisites for his backlash are all removed, even if he really has this opportunity in the future, he will not have the life to do those things that should not be done.

"Back to the prime minister, the people of Shu are rich in the country, the grain and grass are abundant, the soldiers and armor are complete, and the terrain is difficult and dangerous, if you want to attack Shu, it is not easy." Sima Yi shook his head and said: "However, Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang in Hanzhong have conflicts from time to time, and the minister thinks that he can use this to make some articles." ”

"Then Zhongda should tell me, how to do it?" Chen Mo asked rhetorically.

"It is not recommended to attack Shu first, but you can use it to feint." Sima Yi bowed and said.

"How?" Chen Mo turned his head, looked at Sima Yi and smiled.

"Back to the prime minister, now coveting the land of Shu, not only the prime minister, but also Liu Bei, according to the detailed report, in the past two years, Jingzhou Liu Bei and Shu Zhong have been quite close, that Liu Zhang is a benevolent person, the character is a little weak, and the dispute between the Shu and Shu sergeants in the east of Shu has been stagnant, if the lord makes a feint to attack Shu, Liu Bei will not be able to sit idly by, and will try to enter Sichuan at that time, the lord can gather the main force to attack Jingxiang in the south, as long as he occupies Jingxiang, he can cut off the Yangtze River, whether it is to attack Shu or cut Jiangdong, It is difficult for the Sun and Liu families to help each other, as long as they can capture one place, there is one place left that is difficult to support alone, and it is easy to take! Sima Yi bowed.

Chen Mo nodded, looked at Sima Yi and said, "Go on." ”

"Whoa!" Sima Yi thought for a while and said: "If Jingxiang can be captured, then Liu Bei's lone army is trapped in Shu, and there will be a conflict between Liu Zhang, and the lord can take this opportunity to send a debater to persuade Liu Zhang to return to the imperial court. Du Plain, our army can drive straight in, take the land of Sichuan and Shu, our army will occupy the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, if you can train into a water army, from top to bottom, above the geographical advantage, it has occupied the advantage, the land of Jiangdong is easy to take! ”

Chen Mo nodded, knelt down and sat down, in fact, after Wuyi told him Cao Cao's last words, Chen Mo also thought about it for a long time, taking Shu is the safest way, but how to take it? If Liu Bei intervenes at this time, it is equivalent to giving Liu Bei a chance to enter Shu.

Sima Yi's strategy is similar to the strategy discussed by Chen Mo and Jia Xu, which is also to go down to Jingzhou first, then take Shuzhong, and finally clean up Jiangdong.

Although after taking Jingzhou, it is likely to attract Jiangdong and Liu Bei from both sides, but it is difficult to enter and get out of Shudi, Chen Mo has seen the terrain of Jingzhou, if he really takes Jingzhou, Liu Bei will fight back, just hold a few key passes in his hands, Jingzhou can be safe, as for Jiangdong, you can temporarily give up the land of Jingnan and take Jiangxia in your hands.

Looking at Sima Yi, Chen Mo praised: "Zhong Da's vision and strategy are not bad. ”

Sima Yi smiled and bowed: "The prime minister praises falsely." ”

"I have always been very accurate in my view of people." Chen Mo smiled: "You deserve it, look at the world, Zhongda's talent, no less than anyone." ”

Sima Yi didn't dare to speak, Chen Mo praised him like this, somewhat murderous, just look at Yang Xiu on the side, plus in the past two years, many dirty things in the Prime Minister's Mansion have been presided over by Sima Yi, although this is also a manifestation of trust, but Sima Yi knows very well that this is also an alternative persecution.

"Alright, let's go our separate ways, I'll go for a walk." Chen Mo smiled, got up and walked out.

Sima Yi and Yang Xiu hurriedly got up and sent Chen Mo away. 1603447327
