"Are you ......" Chen Mo looked at the young man in front of him who was about the same age as himself, a little dazed.

In the past two days, the matter of Xu Shao's comments for him has spread, and at this point, Xu Shao still adheres to his own principles, and there are also some unconvinced Taixue disciples who come to learn, but it is so early, and it is still the first.

The disciples of Tai Academy, sure enough, are very idle, but he still has to go to the West Garden, not too much to entangle with these people, if he can, he wants to hide in the barracks for a few days, saying that although he has led people to fight, but it is just a county guard, a real military camp, he has not been to it.

"In Xia Yang Xiu, I have heard the name of Brother Chen for a long time, and I came to visit me today." The other party didn't look aggressive, but said very friendly.

"It turned out to be Brother Yang, Hongnong Yang's family, and there are many talents." Chen Mo clasped his fists and saluted: "It's just that there are still important things to do today, and it is not easy to entertain, and I hope to forgive me for the offense." ”

Lu Zhi explained yesterday that the matter of the West Garden should not be spread outside, although Chen Mo felt that since Lu Zhi told him, the confidentiality of this matter was probably not so important, but he had already agreed, it was better to be trustworthy, and if people did not believe, they would not stand.

After Chen Mo finished speaking, he wanted to bypass Yang Xiu.

"Brother Chen doesn't want to know how everyone in the Tai Academy comments on this matter now?" Yang Xiu took a step forward and stood in front of Chen Mo, still smiling, but the distance was a little delicate, the distance between the faces of the two sides was less than two feet, Yang Xiu's eyes were confident and a little arrogant, and there was already some-for-tat.

"I don't really want to." Chen Mo shook his head.

"Brother Chen is so weak, Xiu admires it in his heart, but since he is so weak, why bother to go to Yuedan to comment? And it is also a despicable means, Brother Chen, can you know that this move is harmful and beneficial to your career? Yang Xiu looked at Chen Mo and smiled.

"First, I never said that I was thin, Brother Yang and I are the same age, in terms of heart, there is not much difference, for fame, it is all for you and I to desire, I have never hidden it." Chen Mo was a little helpless, and looked at Yang Xiu seriously: "Second, the rules set by Mr. Zijiang are that those who enter can be evaluated, but they do not restrict the means, and they may not be wrong in the next, in the end, Mo was born in a poor family, in the Tai Academy, most of the scholars are above me if they talk about their background, and Mr. Zijiang gave me a comment, which undoubtedly boosts my fame, but for most people, I am afraid that I will not care whether I am really as Mr. Zijiang said, but pay attention to how despicable my means are." ”

After a pause, Chen Mo stopped Yang Xiu, who wanted to speak, and said: "Brother Yang is a famous family, after the fourth generation and the third duke, can you know human nature?" ”

"I know a little." Yang Xiu nodded and said, "It's just that what does this matter have to do with human nature?" ”

"Scandals are always more acceptable than praise, especially when everyone thinks I'm inferior to them, and instinctively hope that the scandal will be confirmed, at this time, no matter what you say, it's useless." Chen Mo smiled.

"These are villains!" Yang Xiu obviously couldn't accept this remark: "The disciples of Tai Academy are all gentlemen, and they have their own cultivation. ”

"There are a total of 46,817 people in Tai Academy, and the actual number of people in Luoyang is 28,921 now, how can Brother Yang be sure that these 28,921 people are all gentlemen?" Chen Mo asked rhetorically: "What have I learned as a scholar?" ”

"Self-cultivation is self-cultivation, self-cultivation, and moral cultivation." Yang Xiu frowned and said, "Why did Brother Chen ask this?" ”

"In this way, only if you have both mind and body morality, can you be considered a gentleman?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"Nature." Yang Xiu nodded, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, he seemed to have been led by Chen Mo's nose, and the other party was deliberately guiding him!

"Since it needs to be cultivated, it is not both, that is, if you are not a gentleman, you are not a gentleman, you have selfish desires." Chen Mo looked at Yang Xiu, suddenly smiled, patted Yang Xiu's shoulder and said, "There is really something going on here, how about today?" ”

"Brother Chen is a good debater!" When Yang Xiu heard this, he nodded, took a step back and said, "If you have time, Brother Chen would like to enjoy it?" ”

"Nature." Chen Mo saw Yang Xiu push it away, clasped his fists and saluted, and turned around and walked in the direction of West Garden.

"Humanity?" Looking at Chen Mo's back, Yang Xiu frowned and thought, although Chen Mo's words were suspected of sophistry, and the topic was biased by him, but I have to say that there is some truth in these words, Yang Xiu is the son of Hongnong Yang's family, and he grew up in a family since he was a child.

……

Chen Mo didn't care too much about Yang Xiu's appearance, Xu Shao's comments could indeed bring him some trouble, but it was more of a benefit.

He can be sure that Xu Zijiang didn't think about it at all when he commented on himself, if he was a gentleman who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, this comment might make his reputation quickly turn into infamy after a short period of improvement, but unfortunately, he was not a gentleman, and everyone's doubts and provocations would gradually bring him more fame.

However, the most important thing now is military power, not too much, but if you want to climb up with meritorious service, you need at least a certain amount of military power in your hands, the new army is an opportunity, Chen Mo doesn't want to miss it, and when he has military merits, these reputations will bring him a lot of benefits, at least make his career smoother.

The West Garden is outside the Upper West Gate, although it is not the palace, but it is the private property of the royal family, guarded by soldiers, Chen Mo has Lu Zhi's name post, but there is no token to enter the West Garden, so he can only ask someone to give the name card to the general named Gao Shun, and then Gao Shun will send someone to pick it up.

After a quarter of an hour of back and forth, Chen Mo entered the West Garden, and under the leadership of the soldiers, he found Gao Shun.

Gao Shun is eight feet tall, with a white face and a slight beard, less than eight feet tall, although white, but not feminine, on the contrary, there is a very serious momentum, which is not intimidating, but unconsciously gives birth to a sense of respect.

"Chen Mo?" Gao Shun looked at Lu Zhi's name post, and then looked at Chen Modao.

"Exactly." Chen Mo couldn't help but stand up straight and saluted Gao Shun with a fist.

"That's not how etiquette is done in the military." Gao Shun looked at Chen Mo and said: "Ben will be ordered to select the elite, regardless of background, just look at talent, no matter who you recommend, from this moment on, you are no different from other people's identity, from now on, to the end, for a month, if you can't hold on, you can't leave the West Garden, you need to wait for Your Majesty's edict, otherwise...... Chop! ”

As Gao Shun said the chopping word, Chen Mo's heart tightened for no reason, this feeling was something he had never experienced in the dream training camp, and Chen Mo was about to stiffen up: "General, rest assured!" ”

"Join the team!" Gao Shun pointed to the neat queue not far away, and gestured to Chen Mo.

"Whoa!"
