Yuzhou, Yingchuan County, Xu County.

After the disaster of the party was lifted, many scholars who had been far away from their homeland returned to their hometowns.

Chen Yu is one of them.

Chen Yu, the word Zhonggong, is from Yingchuan Xu's family. He was Chen Qun's grandfather.

Chen Yu was promoted as a county official when he was a young man, and later entered Luoyang Taixue to study, and returned to his hometown after completing his studies, serving as the head of the Ximen Pavilion. Because of his noble virtues, he was recommended by Sikong Huang Qiong as the magistrate of Wenxi County, Hedong. After serving for more than a month, he resigned due to mourning.

Later, he was promoted to the magistrate of Taiqiu County, Peiguo, and the world called him Chen Taiqiu.

Chen Yu was an honest and honest official, and the people of Li lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the people of neighboring counties mostly migrated to his jurisdiction. Peiguo increased taxes, Chen Yu was powerless to resist, and he was unwilling to abandon the official and return to the country.

His budding political career came to an end.

In the ninth year of Emperor Heng of the Han Dynasty, the "disaster of the party" came, and Chen Yu was not spared.

This was the first "disaster of the party" in the late Han Dynasty.

Although Chen Zhonggong was only a small county magistrate in politics, his knowledge was first-class in the world.

Yang Ci, who is known as "Bo Gu Tong Jin", and Cai Yong, the "master of the generation", dare not say that they are better than him in terms of learning.

Chen Yu has a deep reputation in his township, and he is affectionate and reasonable, and is respected for his virtue.

In case of disputes, seek more justice. People sighed and said: "It is better to be punished than to be shortened by Chen Jun." ”

It means that he would rather be dealt with by the criminal law than be criticized by Chen Yu, who is a truly benevolent elder.

In the Chen family's mansion in Xu County, Chen Yu watched the sky in the courtyard for a long time.

"In the past, Liu Bi rode flat Yingchuan, Shi Renyi's move, and Huang Wan ruled Yingchuan. Huang Wan served as the assassin, and Zhao Wen succeeded Yingchuan Taishou, who was diligent and diligent, but Yingchuan was in chaos. ”

"Zhao Wen has scattered all his family wealth and has done his best, it is not his fault, nor is it the mandate of heaven."

Chen Yu said with emotion.

Yingchuan rule, the Central Plains displaced people from all over the country flowed into Yingchuan, and the people's livelihood that had just recovered a little bit was dispersed by the displaced people.

In addition, this year's harvest is not very good, and the surplus grain of the people of Yingchuan is just enough, where can we supply food for the displaced people?

Wherever they go, displaced people are ostracized, because there is a shortage of food everywhere, so conflict is everywhere.

This is the difference between a country and a county, the country's politics are dark, and no matter how big a county is, it will be blown by the black wind.

"It is reported that Liu Bi rode in Yanmen to govern benevolently, and the people scrambled to cling to me, and I am too old to use it. Let the students help. ”

Chen Yu said to himself, and then staggered towards the main hall with a cane.

He is an old man who is over 80 years old, he has been exiled, he has been imprisoned, he has been far away, there are some things he can't do.

The Hsu House is very simple and there are no decorations in it.

There was darkness in the house, and there was no light.

A soft sound came, causing Chen Yu's steps to pause.

After Chen Yu stood in place for a while, he knew in his heart.

"Someone, call my sons and grandchildren."

Chen Yu shouted outside the door, and his subordinates outside the door listened to the order and called Chen Yu's descendants to the main hall.

Chen Ji, Chen Chen, Chen Qun and others came to the main hall and saluted Chen Yu.

Chen Chen is Chen Qun's uncle, and his name is Ji Fang. Chen Ji is Chen Qun's father, the character Yuanfang.

This Chen Ji is not Chen Ji, Yuan Shu's general. The two have the same name and are different people.

Chen Chen is the younger brother, Chen Ji is the elder brother, both of them are known as virtues, and the two are called "three gentlemen" together with their father.

The world says that "Yuan Fang is difficult to be a brother, and Ji Fang is difficult to be a brother". It is difficult to be a brother, which proves that the talents of the two are equal.

The state and county have repeatedly recruited the two brothers. But both of them were tired. Left and right of the squire. At this time, Chen Ji was already fifty-five years old.

Historically, when Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, he forcibly conscripted Chen Ji, and Chen Ji began his political career and became an official in Jiuqing.

Chen Yu also has several sons, such as Chen Guang, etc., but their talents are slightly inferior to Chen Ji and Chen Chen.

The Chen family even has Chen Qun, who is claimed by Chen Yu as "here will be my sect".

Flocks of lambs and geese, the glory of the world, this is the Chen family.

In terms of talents of this generation, the Chen family can definitely trample the Guo family of the Yingchuan clan under their feet.

The subordinates hold the lamp and illuminate the hall.

Chen Yu tidied up his clothes, came to the center of the hall, and said to Chen Ji and the others, "Wait here."

After Chen Ji and the others gathered together with Chen Yu, Chen Yu admonished them with a straight face: "People should encourage themselves, and those who are not good may not be evil." Forced by hunger and cold, he did nothing, such as the gentleman on the beam. ”

Chen Qun and the others hadn't come back to their senses yet, only to see a person jumping from the beam in the house.

"I am not not working hard, I am not a wicked person who robs the house, it is because of the public that hunger and cold are forced to embark on the road of no return. I beg your pardon. The man was terrified, fell on his knees, and confessed his sins.

It turned out that he was a thief, as the so-called hunger and cold aroused the thief's heart, he was forced to helplessly, and entered Chen Yu's house at night to steal, and when he heard someone come in, he had to stop on the beam.

"Look at the appearance of the king, not like the wicked, it is advisable to deeply deny yourself and oppose good." Chen Yu glanced at the thief and instructed Chen Ji: "He is at the end of his rope, give him two silks and let him leave."

"Only my father's life."

Chen Ji said.

The bandits thanked each other again and again, and left the Xu Mansion with a thousand thanks.

Afterwards, Chen Yu gathered all the children and grandchildren in the main hall again.

"Who can tell the cause and effect of what just happened?"

Chen Yu sat in the main hall, looking at Chen Ji, Chen Chen, Chen Qun and others.

"Bandits are the fruit, because they are the children of fortunate ministers."

As soon as Chen Yu's voice fell, the young Chen Qun replied to Chen Yu.

In Chen Qun's view, if it weren't for the traitorous ministers who seized power and deceived the superiors, the world would not be like this.

"No, this is the sound of troubled times. It is not caused by one person and one thing overnight. This is the trend of the times. How similar is the new period to the present? It is a disaster for the Great Han, and it is also an opportunity for the Great Han to be reborn from the ashes. ”

Chen Yu has experienced a lifetime and has seen farther and more than Chen Qun.

Who caused the chaos in the world? Chen Fan and Dou Wu are responsible, Cao Jie and Wang Fu are responsible, and even Xun Yi and Li Ying are also responsible.

Haoqiang and the family land were annexed, and the county governors expropriated violently. Xingchen's disciple fishes and eats the common people. The Son of Heaven listens to slander.

When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake feels guilty, who is right and who is wrong? I can't tell.

This is the bottleneck period that a dynasty will face.

Breakthrough! Maybe no one can break through.

"My father followed the wave all his life, and we followed the wave." Chen Ji shook his head and said.

He was already in the age of knowing his destiny, and he had nothing else to ask for when he was young. When you are old, you have nothing to ask for.

"Ji Fang, Yuan Fang. Your two brothers go north to Yanmen! The hussar generals conflicted the interests of many families, but I Chen had no interests. The world's major events are in him. ”

Chen Yu closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, and said to Chen Ji and Chen Chen.

"My father let the two brothers come out, but they should be recruited by the imperial court! I often heard the people of Ru Yingshi say that the hussar general is only a temporary person. ”

Chen Yu's sixth son, Chen Guang, argued to Chen Yu.

"Fallacy, you read the books of the sages in vain. Thou knowest that the benevolent are invincible? ”

Chen Yu blew his beard and glared, and scolded Chen Guang.
