"Sure enough, there are some origins, and yes, since there are many people here who are unambitious, then prudence should be the mainstream, but there are exceptions to everything, for those who are eager to climb up, it is really frustrating to be transferred to such a priest, and there is nowhere to use it, but in the eyes of some people, such a place is a good place to boil qualifications.

Listening to Dong Xu's reminder and looking at the expressions of the few people in front of him, Chen Zhi already understood the situation of that Xu Ji, but he didn't say anything, just sat there and waited.

Dong Xu and the others looked at each other with a worried face, they didn't think that Xu Ji would sell Chen Zhi's face, even if Chen Zhi himself was very famous, even if there was a servant of Lieqing standing behind Chen Zhi.

Xu Ji himself is not afraid at all, his background is very hard, in his words, that is, the Lieqing is like flowing water, and Xun Xun is as expensive as an iron seat, this Xu Ji alone involves two nobles, and he has nothing to fear.

The Guan family does not need to say much, and the Xu family is also unusual, it is Xu Huang, the Marquis of Yangping, who is the Xu family in Hedong.

The title of the Guan family is sealed by the emperor, and it has not been changed after Liu Bei ascended the throne, not to mention the title of the new Han Dynasty, the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning, unless it is a clan, otherwise it has little significance, it is the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, which is a few points higher than the Marquis of Yangping.

However, this Yangping Hou family is not simple, his ancestor Xu Huang, escorted the emperor back to Luoyang, and then followed Yang Feng to toss and turn, and finally became Chen Hou's companion, taking this as his background.

After the death of Chen Hou, Liu Bei often missed it, so the generals of Chen Hou's family were more reused, and Xu Huang was also named a marquis and a general.

In such a background, Xu Ji is arrogant, and it is inevitable.

Sure enough, the two people who were sent out soon came back, but they didn't follow others, they returned empty-handed, and Chen Zhi knew it in his heart when he saw it.

The others also had bright hearts in their hearts, and they looked at each other a few times without a trace, but they didn't mean to come out, they all waited to see how Chen Zhi would deal with it, this was the first emergency that their superiors encountered, to see how he dealt with it, how much he could guess the number of ways in the future, and he could also see the level, which was a test for their subordinates to their superiors.

If they do, they will return to their hearts a little, and if they don't, they will have other thoughts.

"Earlier, this Chen Zhi also said that if you don't come, you have to use it to establish your authority, and I don't know how to establish your authority, which is complicated."

"Qi Yu Taile, Du Le, he was already cold, but there are other changes in the family, it is difficult to come......" The two officials were about to report according to the words discussed in advance, but were stopped by Chen Zhi waving his hand.

Well, if it is a symptom of insistence, then it will be fine, and it will turn out that there is something at home.

If these two things happened alone, Chen Zhi still had to think about whether he was wrong to blame the other party, but it was so coincidental that they all happened together, and he asked people to call him, but he didn't even send a domestic servant to explain the situation, and combined with the reactions and warnings of others, Chen Zhi didn't know where he was, so Xu Ji had the heart to find a Shangguan for himself to taste.

This is actually the norm of officialdom, whether an official's authority can be implemented depends mainly on whether he can command his subordinates, otherwise he will be set aside.

Being an official is also a process of constantly playing and confronting with his subordinates and superiors, and there is nothing immutable in the world.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhi was not annoyed, but smiled: "There is no need to prevaricate with words, go and call him again, tell him that I came suddenly this time, he did not prepare, and it is understandable. ”

As soon as he said this, the two officials looked embarrassed, and they did not leave.

"Oh? Is there a problem? Chen Zhi's brows furrowed, as if he was smiling.

"When I came, the steward of the Xu family said, this matter is not easy to change, I hope Shangguan can understand, I will wait ......"

Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes, tapped his fingers on the side, and was about to speak.

But before he could speak, he heard a "pop", and a person on the side jumped out and scolded: "Bold! What kind of identity do you have, you dare to say such words, Taile is a superior, he is giving you orders, not discussing with you, and you dare to disobey, I think your errand is irrelevant! ”

As soon as he said that, the two officials woke up suddenly, they were also used to being lazy in this Taile Department, so that they hadn't become nervous yet, but now when they heard the reprimand, goodbye Chen Zhi's expression, they were finally scared and gave up their guilt.

"Well, do as I tell you." Chen Zhi would not have the same knowledge as these people, and after sending them away, he looked at the person who was scolding.

Co-law Cao Zhouao.

This person is also the person who persuaded Dong Xu to speak out before.

After he scolded the two officials, he did not return to the Taoist position, but came to Chen Zhi, arched his hand and said: "Shangguan, Taile has been idle for a long time, and you are lazy, I hope that Taile you can be considerate, and I will help wholeheartedly in the future, and dare not slack off." ”

Chen Zhi glanced at him and said lightly: "Well, I also understand the reason, Zhou Jun sit, don't be impatient, I have my own decision." ”

I thought that my overtures would get Chen Zhi's feedback, but in the end, he was not shocked by honor and disgrace, Zhou Ao's heart jumped, and on the surface, he retreated respectfully.

However, after Zhou Ao went back, he glanced at several colleagues, and they all saw a trace of disappointment from their respective seriousness.

What does Xu Ji think, they all know more or less, the original intention is to come to an idle yamen as an official, accumulate qualifications and connections, no one can control it, and be happy, but Chen Zhi is such a bloody and strong starter, and he can imagine the future situation, so he will be called and should not be.

Originally, a few people wanted to see what Chen Zhi had done about it, but he endured it and asked people to invite Xu Ji, in the eyes of several people, this move was undoubtedly a bit weak, and it seemed that he was compromising.

"Officialdom is the need to compromise, but the premise is to show value and threat first, others are afraid of you, will compromise with you, if there is no preparation, come up to compromise, then it is not a compromise, but a concession, as soon as you retreat, others see that you are not a threat, they will press step by step, Xu Ji is such a person, this second time is not to shout, but let him take advantage of the situation, in the end, up and down chaos, Taile Ling will inevitably be set aside, this Chen Zhi, it seems that it is also a false name, a little impulsive, but there is no city, The previous Liwei talk became a joke, and he didn't mention it anymore. ”

Dong Xu shook his head and sighed in his heart.

Several other people are also in the same mind.

On the other side, as the two officials hurried away, they came to Xu Ji's house again, and they made their intentions clear.

"Why are you here again, didn't my master say it very clearly? Forget it, you wait, I'll go and report. ”

The porter underestimated a few times, and then went in to report and relay the words of the two.

"This Chen Zhi is really direct when he speaks, but when I listen to his words, there is also a meaning of softness." After listening to the relay, the governor Cao Xu Ji summoned his confidants to discuss it.

"You listen to what he said, what came suddenly, I didn't go over, you can understand something, I asked the two officials to bring the words back, the attitude has been indicated, originally I went to this Taile Department, just because there is no one to take care of here, happy to be free, there is no one pointing fingers on the head, now it's good, there is a Chen Zhi, if he is transferred from another position, then it's just that, but he is a family official, he has never been out of office in the past, but he has a little reputation, relying on a grandfather who became a servant, I got a merit that I don't know what to do, and I went straight from the white clothes to the sky and ran to my head, how can I bear it? ”

His confidant steward persuaded: "Master, having said that, since this Chen Zhi has softened and asked people to invite you, you should go over, anyway, the purpose of deterring him has been achieved." ”

"No," Xu Ji laughed, "How can you let him pass the test so easily?" Since he relented, he took a step backwards, how could he let go of such a good opportunity? In the spring of last year, I went to Jiangdong with my clan uncle, and he served as a guard, but there were many officials below who had other thoughts, greedy for authority, united with local clans, and did not want to be attached. ”

The steward said: "But that Chen Zhi, after all, is the master's superior, and the old lady of the clan is in the position of the ether to control his subordinates, and the situation is very different." ”

"It seems to be different, but in fact, it is the same," Xu Ji was full of confidence, "You only saw Chen Zhi as the boss, but you didn't think about it, except for Chen Yong, the servant, he Chen Zhi is actually nothing, but an official like flowing water, there is no foundation, a little reputation, more like a castle in the air, and after I have made a meritorious service, there are two powers, this is the real general trend, Han Zi stands up and governs, Chen Zhizhi can Xiao Daoer, take me to tame him, take him as a shield, and still be free." ”

Speaking of this, he waved his big hand and smiled: "Go and tell the person who came, if the official is not going, the affairs of the family have not been dealt with yet, and when I deal with it, I will go to see Taile Ling." ”

When this news was brought back, since Dong Xu, no one was surprised, they took it for granted, and at the same time, they all thought that Chen Zhi had no choice.

"He has already backed down once, even if Chen Zhi doesn't understand the mystery inside, there won't be a second time in a short time, in the same way, since he has backed down, there is no reason to punish him severely, otherwise why bother with Huairou before?"

Just when Dong Xu and the others were planning to find some steps for this Shangguan to go down, and then complete this anticlimactic first meeting as soon as possible, Chen Zhi suddenly smiled.

He smiled, everyone was even more incomprehensible, but immediately heard Chen Zhi say: "My new official took office, suddenly came, you were caught off guard, it is understandable that you were not prepared, and the situation of this Taile Department is indeed special, and the prince's mind is scattered is also the meaning of it, but everything has a degree, in the past, Sun Wu trained soldiers, King Wu took Ai Ji as a soldier, Sun Tzu Sangu, still did not know the order, so he beheaded it, now I am in the position of an official, call subordinate, one should not, recall, still do not come, even so, the sin is in his person, now go to his post, can be reported to the ministry." ”
