Chapter Seventy-Seven: Chen Deng

"This is my brother, Dian Wei, who has saved my life." Wang Biao put his arm on Dian Wei's shoulder and sighed: "Brother Cai died, her brother and sister were unhappy, I wanted to go out to avoid some time, just when I was in my own old friend wanted to run to Luoyang, I needed manpower, I went there to help, how did I expect my old man to be harmed by a traitor, I couldn't be angry, I wanted to avenge my old friend, but my ability was not good, after being injured, I returned to my hometown to find Brother Zheng, ready to avenge the old friend, rushed to my own time, but I met Brother Dian also came to take revenge, I waited to see the revenge, Brother Dian was hunted down, He managed to help the Dian brothers get out. ”

Zheng Tu nodded and said: "Then the Yellow Turban Thief was in turmoil, when I returned to Xiaqiu, Xiaqiu had been captured by the thieves, and we wandered around Xuzhou, and then I heard that you Ru Nan broke the Gepi thief, and wanted to come to you to help Brother Dian wash away his sins, and when he returned to his hometown to find your mother, he met Mr. Yuanlong, and came to Luoyang together. ”

"Uncle Dian's righteousness, Chen Mo admires." Chen Mo hugged his fist at Dian Wei and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang has the grace of teaching me to work, since he is a friend of Uncle Wang, he is a friend of Chen Mo, and he must do his best to help in this matter, so that he is now in the army, if Uncle Dian does not dislike it, he can first enter my command, and then try to make meritorious deeds in the future, and then try to maneuver one or two, and he will definitely be able to help Uncle Dian wash away his guilt." ”

Chen Deng just watched from the side and didn't interrupt, but he saw Dian Wei hugging his fists at Chen Mo and said: "The name of the little general, I have heard of it a long time ago, and I am naturally willing to join the general's command." ”

Chen Mo broke the Gepi thieves in the Runan area, and the Yuan family also intended to help Chen Mo ascend to the throne at that time, because in the area of Runan, Qianjun, and Chen Guo, Chen Mo's prestige is quite high, Dian Wei now has no other skills except for bravery, he has no background, and he doesn't know any powerful people, so it is good to be able to catch Chen Mo's line.

After speaking, Chen Mo looked at Wang Biao and Zheng Tu again and said, "Uncle Wang, Uncle Zheng, you can also stay, my side, there has been a shortage of people recently, credible people." ”

Wang Biao and Zheng Tu looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly: "Your Uncle Zheng needs to go back to tidy up the family business, I need to help him, this time I came with Mr. Yuanlong, just for the sake of the brothers." ”

Chen Mo was a little helpless when he heard this, from childhood to adulthood, Uncle Wang seemed to be helping people, either helping people, or on the way to help people, sometimes I really wanted to ask how many friends Uncle Wang had.

But both of them are Chen Mo's elders, and Chen Mo couldn't say anything, so he had to nod and say, "In this case, let's stay here for a while, it's not bad for these days?" ”

When Wang Biao and Zheng Tu heard this, they nodded and agreed, they may not have seen Chen Mo for a long time, and they have a lot of things to say to Chen Mo.

After catching up with the two, Chen Mo looked at Chen Deng and said with a smile: "Although you and I are from our own family, we haven't asked for a name or surname yet." ”

"Chen Deng." Chen Deng looked at Chen Mo and said with a smile: "Uncle and mother have already been taken to live in Xiapi, Brother Mo can rest assured, we are not forced." ”

Chen Mo nodded, this Thaksin, if he really wanted to force it, the teacher would not agree.

"What happened back then, the cause and effect, Lu Gong also told me." Chen Mo knelt down and sat down, looked at Chen Deng and said: "Since my brother has persuaded my mother, I don't have to say much, but Mo has today, and I don't have half of the family, and now the family wants me to return, and my mother has thought about it, so I won't say much, but my brother also blames Mo for being utilitarian, there are some things that need to be clear, and now the situation in Luoyang is ...... It's quite subtle, and I'm silent in the meantime, and many times, it's quite difficult, can my brother teach me? ”

Chen Mo really needs a family to help him now, but it is impossible to fully devote himself to the family, his current identity and official position are all worked hard by himself, which has nothing to do with the family.

Background, he needs, in a place like Luoyang, especially after entering the official career, you can really feel the importance of the family, if Liu Hong is fine, Chen Mo will not compromise with the family so early, but now it is different, the transfer of the military academy captain's department, Chen Mo is almost certain that Liu Hong will not work.

No matter who the new emperor is, in the next change of power, Chen Mo wants to go further and gain a firm foothold in Luoyang, it is difficult to do without the help of his family.

"Brother Mo, can you tell me the truth, the Son of Heaven is ...... now" Chen Deng turned his head to look at Chen Mo, with an inexplicable look flashing in his eyes.

"Yun Si, take Uncle Wang and them down to rest." Chen Mo didn't answer, just turned his head to look at Yun Sidao.

"Whoa!" Yun Si nodded obediently, the next thing obviously couldn't be known by them, and left with Wang Biao and Dian Wei at the moment.

Da Lang didn't need Chen Mo to say much, he went straight to the door, and arranged for the guards to guard the surroundings and not let people approach.

"It's not too clear." After Chen Mo saw that there was no one around, he frowned and said: "However, a few days ago, the military academy was transferred to the palace, and he has not returned yet, I am afraid that he will ......."

The Son of Heaven, Chen Mo has only met once, judging from that time, Liu Hong's complexion was not very good, but the atmosphere in Luoyang has been a little weird recently, and the movement of the Captain Department of the Military Academy also made Chen Mo have some conjectures about the physical condition of the Son of Heaven.

But if you want to say guarantee, Chen Mo can't guarantee it, he can't see the fate of the Son of Heaven, and he has no chance to see it at the moment.

"If the Son of Heaven is ......" Chen Deng thought for a while and said: "If the two princes compete for the throne, Brother Mo should support the prince, regardless of whether His Majesty has an edict left." ”

"General?" Chen Mo looked at Chen Deng.

Chen Deng nodded and said, "Around Your Majesty, there are no available ministers. ”

In other words, even if the Son of Heaven intends to pass on Liu Xie, how can a child who is less than ten years old compete with a tiger and wolf minister like He Jin, with a group of eunuchs? Out of the palace, these people are nothing.

"But in this way, I'm afraid that Dahan will have to experience another dispute between relatives." Chen Mo sighed, this is also where he is entangled now, Chen Deng can think of this, Chen Mo is in Luoyang, many things are seen more clearly than Chen Deng, if the prince succeeds to the throne, in a short period of time, it can indeed reduce disputes, but if you look at it in the long run, even if the prince is weak by nature, but as long as He Jin does not usurp the throne, then there will be someone against relatives in the future, and an internal struggle is inevitable.

As Hanchen, Chen Mo intends to reverse this situation, but he is humble and weak, even if he has this intention, what is the use?

Chen Deng shook his head and said: "You and I have the heart to resist the general trend in this matter, Brother Mo, what will happen if you go against the trend, you should be clear!" If you want to make a difference, you should leave a useful body first, and only if Brother Mo survives this battle can he be qualified to worry about the Han Dynasty. ”

The competition between the two princes, or the competition between the forces behind the two princes, once they stand in the wrong position, it will be a catastrophe.

Chen Deng said in a deep voice: "If the Son of Heaven can have a few more years, there may be a turnaround, but if the Son of Heaven ...... The younger brother should seek a way out early. ”

Chen Mo nodded, this point is also the most entangled point he has been in these days, as a Hanchen, he should be loyal to the Han, but he was born as a human being, and he wanted to make himself lose everything for the Han, Chen Mo asked himself if he could do it, and now, he could only hope that the Son of Heaven could live for a few more years.

"Stay in Luoyang for the brotherhood for some time and plan for the future of the virtuous brother." Chen Deng said with a smile.

Chen Mo looked at Chen Deng, the Chen family is in Luoyang, and there are still some connections, which is also a gesture to Chen Mo.

Moreover, Chen Deng's plan, although it was out of consideration for Chen Mo's safety, was also for himself, the decline of the Chen family was all due to the eunuchs, and from the position of the Chen family, he naturally hoped that the eunuchs would fall, so that the Chen family would have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

used the Chen family's connections in Luoyang to help Chen Mo go one step further and become the representative of the Chen family just like Chen Qiu back then, while the Chen family was in Xuzhou, grasping the place, and taking advantage of Chen Mo's momentum, he became the first family in Xuzhou.

The next thing the two talked about was about the Chen family.

Chen Mo's meaning is very simple, Chen Mo will return to his ancestors, but Chen Mo's branch and Chen Deng's branch cannot be regarded as a family, there is no difference between the owners and the family, watching and helping each other, just like brothers splitting the family, Chen Mo can use the assets of the Chen family, and even the mansion property that Chen Qiu left in Luoyang back then, can try to fall into the hands of Chen Mo, and when the Chen family needs something, Chen Mo also needs to help and seek local rights for the Chen family.

Chen Mo also knew why Chen Deng wanted to give up Luoyang, and focus on the locality, since last year Taichang Liu Yan wrote a letter to restart the state pastor, the local authority has become increasingly heavy, and the Chen family has strengthened its control over the locality, even if someone in the court wants to embarrass the Chen family, they must also consider the influence of the Chen family in the local area.

It can also be used as Chen Mo's backing in the court.

Why refuse something that is mutually beneficial?

The two chatted all afternoon, but they had a good conversation.

"There are many inconveniences for my brother in Luoyang, these days, I am afraid that I will have to live here temporarily, and I hope that the virtuous brother is not strange." Chen Deng said with a smile.

"My brother can stay here, but my brother can't ask for it." Chen Mo shook his head, he really lacked a person who could be consulted by his side now, Chen Deng was quite unique in terms of talent and opinions, such talents were by his side, Chen Mo was naturally happy.

"General!" When the two were chatting, they saw Da Lang hurriedly come in and salute the two.

"What?" Chen Mo looked at Da Lang and said.

"General Cui sent someone to deliver the letterhead." Da Lang handed a roll of bamboo paper to Chen Modao.

"What about people?" Chen Mo has cut off contact with Cui Geng these days, and he doesn't know what happened.

He put down his letterhead and hurried away. Da Lang shook his head and said.

Chen Mo hurriedly opened the letterhead and looked at the contents on it.

"The Son of Heaven wants to punish the general?" Chen Mo frowned and looked at Chen Deng.

"It seems that Your Majesty does have the intention of passing on the throne to the prince." Chen Deng nodded and said, "How is Brother Mo ready?" ”

"Go to the General's Mansion." Chen Mo put it away and said gradually.

"Oh?" Chen Deng was a little surprised: "If the Son of Heaven can get rid of He Jin, Brother Mo may have a greater chance." ”

"This letter can enter my hands, the general has the queen's help in the palace, An Neng doesn't know?" Chen Mo sighed and said.

"I'll go with you for my brother." Chen Deng got up and smiled.

"Exactly." Chen Mo nodded, and immediately left side by side with Chen Deng, and went straight to the general's mansion.
