Chapter XVIII Successful Solicitation
Yang Wu didn't know the news of Feng Hongduo's army in Shengzhou at this time, and he was still drinking and talking with Chen Yanqian at this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The alcohol content of this era is not high, and it is similar to the beer of later generations, but because it is a specially selected good sake, it has a very good taste and is very comfortable to drink.
Yang Wu and Chen Yanqian sat opposite each other, and before they knew it, they drank five or six bowls of wine, and then they had a slight sense of wine.
With the help of alcohol, Chen Yanqian complained a lot, and then said angrily, "This position of Sicang joining the army is not a good errand in the first place, and now he has to be angry here, this sesame petty official, don't do it!" ”
Yang Wu was overjoyed, he didn't know how to say what he was soliciting. For him, Zhu Siqing, Fan Yu and others were originally his subordinates, and Chen Fan and the others were also arranged for him by his father. This is the real thing to recruit his subordinates, and for him, it is "the first time that the eldest girl gets on the sedan chair".
Although in later novels, I often see the description of the protagonist's tiger body shaking and heroes from all walks of life bowing down, but after all, it is only in the novel, but in reality, it is much more complicated.
If he really makes random remarks, he may succeed, but it is more likely to fail. After all, although he is now the eldest son of King Wu, his actual position is only a command, and it is difficult to say whether he can successfully inherit the position of the Huainan Jiedu envoy in the future.
What's more, Chen Yanqian is indeed talented, especially good at handling those complicated government affairs, so Yang Wu plans to reuse him in the future, but he doesn't want any accidents.
So his original plan was to make a good friendship with Chen Yanqian first, and then find a suitable opportunity to find a suitable opportunity to find out the intention of solicitation in the future.
But now that he heard Chen Yanqian say that he didn't want to do it, Yang Wu was overjoyed and no longer hesitated.
"Brother Chen, don't hide it, the younger brother Yang Wu is the eldest son of the Huainan Festival envoy and King Wu." Yang Wu bowed solemnly, and saw that Chen Yanqian was obviously a little surprised, and said, "The younger brother didn't mean to hide it, but we really met yesterday, and we had a conversation, and it was very harmonious." The younger brother didn't want to affect the friendship because of his identity, so he didn't say it explicitly. I hope Brother Chen won't blame him. ”
Chen Yanqian still couldn't believe it, he met a son by chance yesterday, who was actually the eldest son of the current King Wu, which was too much of a coincidence.
"You are the Yang Gongzi who composed three poems in ten steps?" He asked tentatively.
Yang Wu's face turned red, and he said cheekily, "Yes, it's the little brother." ”
"Young Master Yang is really talented! In particular, the sentence 'three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo, the prophet of the plumbing duck in the spring river', is especially loved in the next. But I didn't think that it was actually what you did. Although Chen Yanqian was a little surprised by Yang Wu's identity, and his title changed from "Brother Yang" to "Yang Gongzi", he admired Yang Wu's poetry more often.
Randomly, his eyes lit up again, and he asked with a hint of hope, "So was yesterday's "Ai Lian Said" also done by Yang Gongzi, but deliberately in the name of others?" ”
"It's true that this was not done by the younger brother." Yang Wu hurriedly shook his head.
Just kidding, writing three poems in ten steps is enough to be in the limelight, and even Chen Yanqian actually knows it in Runzhou. If he says that "Ai Lian Said" is also written by himself, I am afraid that his literary talent will be even more famous.
However, in this troubled era, what he hopes to spread more is not his reputation as a literary talent, but the reputation that will be more conducive to his future leadership of a feudal town.
"Alas, the person who made such a strange text has no chance to see it!" Chen Yanqian sighed.
Seeing that the topic gradually had a tendency to be re-brought to other aspects, Yang Wu hurriedly went straight to the point and said his thoughts.
"Brother Chen, in fact, my father recently has a plan to train his younger brother to inherit the throne of Huainan Jiedu in the future, but the younger brother is young, his prestige is insufficient, and it is difficult to convince the public, and the younger brother is very anxious.
I met Brother Chen yesterday, and after some conversation, I felt like a confidant. Today, I heard that Brother Chen is talented, but he is not used by the assassins.
In the opinion of the younger brother, Jiang was not used by Yin Shang in the past, but King Wu of Zhou used it, and was able to achieve the 800-year-old Zhou Dynasty. Han Xin was not used by Xiang Yu but Liu Bang was able to become a strong man for 400 years.
The younger brother is not talented, but he is also willing to follow the example of the former sages, and also asks Brother Chen to give advice to the younger brother, and the younger brother will not dare to lose! ”
Chen Yanqian was stunned for a moment, and the whole person also sobered up, and the interest in poetry just now disappeared in an instant.
Whether or not to accept Yang Wu's solicitation, this will obviously affect his life. For him, Yang Wu is like a "potential stock", although it is possible to soar to the sky in the future and become the next Huainan Festival Envoy and achieve a great cause; But as he himself said, he is young and lacks prestige, and it is difficult to convince the public, and even if he inherits the position of Jiedu envoy in the future, he may be overthrown, and then he may take trouble.
Immediately, Chen Yanqian was full of pride, "Although Yang Gongzi has a shallow foundation, there are too few talents under him, and many generals are not convinced, isn't this a good time for a scribe like me to give advice?" If he has a solid foundation and a lot of talents, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to be reused. ”
Thinking of this, his eyes became brighter and brighter, "In the past, I boasted that I had talent but could not be reused, but now Yang Gongzi is willing to use me, and he is the eldest son of King Wu, and now he sincerely recruits me, an eight-grade petty official, what else do I have to hesitate?" ”
At that moment, Chen Yanqian no longer hesitated, turned over and bowed down, "Chen Yanqian visited Gongzi, Gongzi takes such a fancy to his subordinates, and his subordinates must be loyal and do their best to repay Gongzi!" ”
Yang Wu was overjoyed, he really succeeded. This is the first subordinate he has personally recruited, and he is a subordinate with extremely outstanding talents. At this moment, he really wanted to celebrate.
He hurriedly helped Chen Yanqian up and said, "Brother Chen, please get up, it is really a blessing for the younger brother to have Brother Chen planning for the younger brother." It's just that the younger brother's official position is still low, and he is just the commander of the armies in the teeth, but he is going to wronged Brother Chen. ”
Chen Yanqian smiled disapprenously, "What's the matter, Gongzi is the eldest son of King Wu, as long as he makes a little meritorious service, are you still worried that the official position will not be promoted?" Besides, his subordinates are now only a district and eight officials, where can they be called wronged? ”
"In this way, the younger brother should report to his father and transfer Brother Chen to Guangling, so he will first join the army and give advice by the younger brother's side!"
Chen Yanqian arched his hand and said, "But it's up to the son's arrangement." ”
Immediately, he solemnly admonished, "Since the subordinates worship the prince as the lord, then the monarch and the minister will be different in the future." Please also ask the son not to call himself a junior brother in the future, and not to call his subordinates Brother Chen. ”
"This ......"
Although I knew that what he said was right, but the two were still brothers just now, and now they have to change their words, which is a little embarrassing; Second, and more importantly, Chen Yanqian is the first talent he recruited, and the weight in his heart is naturally different, and they have been chatting very well in the past two days, and he doesn't want to be too serious.
So after hesitating, Yang Wu said, "Brother Chen, although you and I have known each other for a short time, we are very close to each other. In this way, if it is official business in the future, the younger brother will be called Brother Chen's position; But now it's a private conversation, so let's call it the same as yesterday. ”
Chen Yanqian thought for a while and said, "Then follow what Gongzi said." ”
Having a relationship with the lord in private is what every courtier dreams of, and Chen Yanqian is no exception. So for him, it is also a good thing for him that Yang Wu can remember the friendship of the past two days, but he must grasp the degree, otherwise it will be a little bad for Yang Wu to feel that he has no sense of awe.
He knows the truth of "accompanying the king as accompanying the tiger", so although Yang Wu calls him "Brother Chen", he still calls Yang Wu his son.
After determining the difference between the monarch and the minister, Chen Yanqian acted and spoke not as casually as before, and he said with a little respect, "Since Gongzi is worried that his subordinates are not talented and his subordinates are not talented, he is also willing to recommend one to Gongzi." ”
"Oh, I don't know who it is, so that Brother Chen can take a fancy to it?" Yang Wu suddenly became interested, and after filling Chen Yanqian with a bowl of wine, he asked with a smile.
"Aru, come here!" Chen Yanqian shouted to the young man outside the door.
Aru was hiding outside the door just now and eavesdropping, but when he saw that he was discovered, he no longer hid, so he simply stood up generously, "What is Uncle Chen looking for Alu?" ”
"This is the eldest son of the current King Wu, you have come to see the son." Chen Yanqian commanded.
Aru Yiyan saluted Yang Wu and said, "I've seen Gongzi." ”
"No need to be polite!" Yang Wu helped Aru up, but his eyes looked at Chen Yanqian, not knowing what he meant.
Could it be that the one who is going to recommend it to himself is the boy in front of him who looks like he is only twelve or thirteen years old?
Although this young man is a bit clever, he is afraid that there is no need for such a solemn recommendation to himself, right?
"Childe, don't look at Aru's young age, but he is full of courage, and what is even more rare is that he is smart and studious, good at reading, and has a good character. Childe can take him with him as a guard. As long as you train for a few years, you will definitely be able to achieve something in the future! Chen Yanqian said solemnly.
He has been friends with Aru's father for many years, and it can be said that he grew up watching Aru, and knows a lot about his intelligence and conduct, and he believes that he will not be wrong about the other party.
"Oh, really?" Hearing Chen Yanqian's praise like this, Yang Wu also became a little serious.
"Judging from the age, is it a celebrity in the future?" He couldn't help but think.
"I wonder what Aru's name is?"
"Diao Yanneng", Chen Yanqian bowed and replied.
"Is that him?" Yang Wu was taken aback, but he didn't expect that this inconspicuous young man in front of him was really a character recorded in the history books in the future. He saved Xu Zhihe's life many times in history, and later became an assassin.
It's just that in history, he should have become Wang Maozhang's guard when Wang Maozhang was an observer in Xuanzhou three years later, and it stands to reason that he should also live in Xuanzhou now; And he was lonely and poor as a young man, and his father should be no longer there at this time.
For these questions, naturally no one answered for him, and Yang Wu didn't think much about it, so he agreed to accept him immediately and be a guard by his side first.
Although Diao Yanneng is a little younger, if there is really something, he may not be able to protect him, but Yang Wu doesn't care, so he treats it as a good cultivation.
In the future, if you can achieve great things, it will be better, if not, there is not much loss.
After some conversation, Yang Wu saw that it was almost noon, so he asked Fan Yu to go outside and order a table of wine and food, and several people had a good meal.
