Chapter 154: The Marquis of Wuxiang went north to the town of the Xiongnu
Guan Xian's face has a layer of jujube red, plus the appearance of his eyebrows and eyes, and the origin is unknown. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info In addition, Chen Zhi also captured the arrogant atmosphere and the contempt of nothing.
"The temperament is really a little similar."
After saluting Zhao Xing, Chen Zhi greeted Guan Xian again, but the latter only gave a faint "um", but in addition, there was no intention of returning the salute, which made Chen Zhi's brows furrow and unhappy.
He came here today, not because of the power of the Zhuge family, but purely with a sense of reminiscence, after all, the times have changed, and the familiar people and things are no longer there, if you can find a little trace of the past, it is also some kind of psychological comfort.
But this does not mean that Chen Zhi can tolerate the old man and then take a stand in front of him, if there is really anything unpleasant, he does not mind disciplining the descendants for the old man.
Zhao Xing watched from the side, shook his head secretly, knowing that his friend's old mistake had been made again, he stepped forward and said: "Mr. Chen, I am discussing in the lobby, and it just so happens that you are also here, so I will say a few words first, Brother Zhuge will not be able to see you later because of a little matter, let me say sorry to you." β
After saying this, he was worried that Chen Zhi would misunderstand, and added: "It's really news suddenly, you also know, Brother Zhuge has a special identity, although he is traveling to study, but many things in the Zhuge family have to be handled by him, the heir, sometimes it is inevitable that there will be problems, and now the imperial court has let the Marquis of Wuxiang go out of the north of the town to suppress the Xiongnu rebellion, so Brother Zhuge has a lot of things in his family recently, and he is often busy." β
"Wuxiang Hou wants to go out of the north of the town?"
Hearing this news, a memory fragment immediately flashed in Chen Zhi's mind, it was when he got acquainted with Liu Gang, what the other party said, Liu Gang had mentioned it at that time, saying that the imperial court had the intention to send troops to the north to solve the rebellion of the Hun Liu Yuan, but he didn't know who was the commander, and now combined with Zhao Xing's words, the context of the whole thing is much clearer.
At the same time, Chen Zhi realized that the children of the so-called big families, even if they went out to study, could not really not have any contact with government affairs.
"The family is strong and holds real power, and in some respects, the imperial power of the new Han Dynasty is not as convenient as the authority of the family, so this heir to the martial arts, even if he is on a study tour, still has to deal with 'government affairs'."
While thinking, Chen Zhi followed Zhao Xing into the Wobing Tower, while Guan Xian followed beside him, without looking at Chen Zhi, holding his head high and striding forward.
When I arrived in the building, I immediately heard the voices of everyone.
Chen Zhi looked around and saw that there were twenty or thirty people scattered in the lobby, each of whom was extraordinary and well-dressed, or sitting on a chair or sitting on a seat, some talking, some reading, and some laughing with the Qingqi people and dancers in the Binglou.
"These are colleagues who have traveled with Brother Zhuge and have seen the world together, there is no shortage of people with extraordinary backgrounds, as well as celebrities from all over the world, Mr. Chen, please go here, I will introduce you to it." Zhao Xing dutifully introduced.
Looking at this posture, it really doesn't look like a study tour, but like it's patrolling the world.
Chen Zhi shook his head slightly, the layout of the building was the same as the last time he came, and the furnishings had not changed much, but the atmosphere in the hall was completely different. He also heard that the Wobing Tower is no longer open now, but as a temporary place for Zhuge Yan, and he will live here during his stay in Pengcheng.
This building is the property of the Langya royal family, the layout is elegant, and the elegance is the best in Pengcheng, so it will be used to entertain VIPs and celebrities, but if Zhuge Yan feels uncomfortable living, as long as he puts it forward, it can be replaced, whether it is a single courtyard or a pavilion, the Pengcheng government and the major families will prepare a proper fit for him.
"This is the power of the top families, and the royal tour is nothing more than that."
Chen Zhi sighed with emotion, and was taken by Zhao Xing to meet everyone in the house.
From the moment he walked into the lobby, he had already attracted everyone's attention, and many people had already seen it.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Chen Zhi is already here?"
On the other side, in the upstairs Accord, Zhuge Yan, who was in a wide coat and big sleeves, listened to the servant's report, nodded slightly, and said, "Then please ask him to wait a little longer, and wait until I deal with the matter at hand." β
The servant was commanded to withdraw.
Zhuge Yan then turned around, looked at the person in front of him, and asked: "Third uncle, according to what you said, the imperial court has made a formal decision to let my father lead the troops north?" β
In front of Zhuge Yan, there was a man with bright eyes and a sturdy physique, although he was dressed as a scribe, he couldn't hide the courage on his body, and when he heard the inquiry, this person nodded and said: "The imperial court said that the Hou Ye had meritorious service in quelling the chaos in the south, and he was a person who knew the soldiers, and he had a family background, so he was the most suitable candidate for the Northern Expedition." β
Zhuge Yan sighed and said: "The south has a merit in quelling the rebellion, but the counterinsurgency is halfway through, and seeing that the general trend has been decided, they transferred their father back, worried that the merit will be high and shake the master, and now they are sent to the north, really I can't see the catty in it?" β
The brave man also sighed: "All the princes in the court have the heart to support the marquis. β
"It's not a new northern family, and I want to further consolidate my power," Zhuge Yan shook his head, showing regret, "In order to balance the power and weaken the authority of my Zhuge family, the saint will not refuse this proposal, this is a matter of pushing the boat down the river, plus the Hun Liu Yuan is not an easy person, he was very famous when he studied in the national capital, and when Lao Shan died of illness, he immediately absconded back, and after seizing power, he was respectful first, and had close contacts with several princes, and when the southern rebellion broke out, the Li thieves in Shu made a rebellion, plus natural and man-made disasters, gave the Huns a chance to take advantage of, and Liu Yuan made a decision immediately and set himself up as the king, which is really a character. β
The brave man nodded and said: "Yes, but the Huns are not a problem at all, I think that if the Hou Ye goes, he may be able to take the opportunity to expand his influence in the army, which is not necessarily a bad thing." β
"Above the court, the dispute between the north and the south, the old and the new, is becoming more and more intense, and as soon as my father leaves, it will inevitably give people an opportunity to take advantage of, even if he can expand his influence in the army, it is because of a small loss."
"So what to do? Is it disrespectful to resist the will? The brave man said, pondered for a moment, and said with a smile, "Actually, it's nothing, with the prestige of the Hou Ye, even if you don't comply, there may not be anything, and at most you will be criticized." When he talked about disobedience, especially the emperor's order, he didn't have the slightest awe or worry, and he didn't think it was a big deal at all, so that there was a fierce aura in this ordinary tone.
"Letting my father go north is not the conclusion of the court, but a holy decree, how can you not obey it?" Zhuge Yan shook his head, "The other party is using a yang scheme, the holy decree represents the royal majesty, represents the source of the authority of the world, and represents the five hundred years of the Han family, since Emperor Zhaolie revived the Han family, the saying that the mandate of heaven belongs to Liu is very loud, whether it is the Zhang family in the past, the Lu family, or even the ancestors of my Zhuge family, even if the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, no one has taken that step, it is from this, otherwise how can there be the Xuanwu Northern Expedition?" β
The brave man said puzzledly: "In the past, there were many people who resisted the decree, and the Zhang family, the Zhou family, and the Lu family all had precedents, and now it's not good." β
"How can my Zhuge family be the same as those families? And, are they really intact? How arrogant the Zhang family was back then, forcing Shanyue to rebel, but instead became a counterinsurgency hero, but now it is just a top family, this is the change," Zhuge Yan said with a sharp turn, "This matter is still a headache for my father, third uncle, after you go back, stabilize the family first, and when my affairs in Pengcheng are over, I will return home, and it is almost time to become a leader." β
"Why wait?" The brave man showed a little dissatisfaction, "Pengcheng is not a big deal, even if that Wang Mi is just a rogue, it is not a climate at all, I don't see what is the point of you staying here?" β
Zhuge Yan smiled and said, "Since you are here, you must meet the outstanding people here." β
"What great people can be in such a small place? People in small places, the pattern is also small, they can't go far, and they are congenitally restricted," the brave man shook his head disappreciatively, and then looked outside, "You are not talking about what is the clichΓ©, I have also heard the name of this person, it seems that he wrote an article and was praised by others, such a person is worthy of association, it helps to raise hope, but it may not be useful, and writing articles can not write authority." β
"Third uncle, you are too utilitarian, you can't just look at this when interacting with people," Zhuge Yan shook his head with a smile, and then said, "In addition, you have lost your eyes on this Chen Zhi, his ability is not in the article, I listen to your tone Third Uncle, obviously I haven't read his "Teacher Said", I advise you to take a look first, this person is definitely worth befriending." β
The brave man waved his hand and said: "Anyway, you have an idea since you were a child, these things are done by you, I, I don't participate, this news has been told to you, I will go and take a rest, I have to continue to go south tomorrow, I am all a bad job." β
Zhuge Yan smiled: "Isn't this the third uncle's safe work?" Other people, the family is not at ease, these things we discussed, after all, it is not convenient to leak out, and changing one person is risky. β
The brave man laughed, nodded and said, "It's better for you to speak, okay, you don't bother you, I'm leaving, just to see what the difference is in that Chen Zhi's article." β
When the two of them were talking, Chen Zhizheng was taken by Zhao Xing to greet the young man.
"This is Liu He, the second son of Ancheng County Shou, this is Brother Tao Ya, his uncle you must have heard of, it is Tao Gong who defeated Yiyang Barbarian Zhang Chang in a row, this is Pang Township, born in Nanyang Pang Clan, this Wei Ou, is a famous scholar in Sichuan and Shu, this ......"
Listening to the names that came out of Zhao Xing's mouth, introducing their origins and identities, even Chen Zhi was quite surprised.
These people in front of them, sure enough, all have backgrounds, either they are famous themselves, or they have family power behind them, if they are strictly counted, they have included many famous New Han Dynasty Paul, as if they were the prototype of a network of contacts.
"No wonder Mr. Guijing and Liu Gang have emphasized Zhuge Yan's connections, now it seems that under the command of this person, there is already a certain prototype of power, with this foundation, even if he is not a leader, he has capital to influence the government, once he goes out of the mountain, it will inevitably cause a huge turmoil, and it is no wonder that he arrived in Pengcheng in white, and even the county guard has to greet him."
