After Deng Meng's words were finished, everyone looked at each other. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Originally, when they heard that the Xiongnu were going to send envoys over, the officials were surprised at first, and then they were very puzzled.

The accident was because the two sides had just fought, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court had also experienced a major defeat, if it weren't for the ......

They subconsciously glanced at Chen Zhi, thinking of the same thought in their hearts.

If Chen Zhi hadn't killed the little prince of the Huns, he was lucky enough to let Liu Yuan die for some reason, and the court could be said to have lost face.

Yes, in the eyes of Chen Zhi's colleagues, and even many officials of the imperial court, Chen Zhi and the imperial court are lucky, because of his unexpected move, the situation has changed dramatically, otherwise, according to the original trajectory, the imperial court will certainly have to bear unbearable humiliation, and Chen Zhi will also become a victim in the factional struggle because of the beheading of the Xiongnu prince.

In fact, the news about the defeat of the Northern Route Army is now impossible to hide, at least in the center of the imperial court, it can no longer be said to be a secret, so this news surprised everyone.

The ensuing doubts were also aimed at the envoys, after all, this negotiation with the tribes on the four sides was under the jurisdiction of the Great Honglu, and it had little to do with their Taichang Mansion.

It's just that as soon as they heard that the prisoners were sacrificed to the Taimiao, several people also understood that this matter was related to the sacrifice, and of course it was related to them, but then they all shook their heads, and the doubts in their hearts increased.

The army was defeated, even if there were one or two prisoners, they were corners, and there may not be as many officers and soldiers as plundered and captured by the Huns.

But after thinking about it a little, you can understand that the imperial court is also forced to do this kind of thing, because the news spreads, and it does not plan to use troops again for the time being, of course, it has to use some means to block the mouths of some people.

"I'm afraid it will be self-defeating in the end."

Several people looked at each other, all shaking their heads, with their own opinions.

After Deng Meng announced, he paused, and after everyone digested the news, he continued: "In addition, in addition to the Xiongnu this time, the Xianbei tribes, as well as the Xianbei other tribes Tuyuhun will also send envoys over, so they can't be underestimated in terms of etiquette, the meaning of the imperial court is to focus on handling this matter, to inform the world, and become the intention of all states to come to the court, so as to calm the hearts of the people in the world." ”

"I'll get it." Taichang Cheng Sun Jiang took the lead in expressing his position, reflecting a high consciousness.

Others followed.

Deng Meng nodded, looked at Chen Zhi again, and said with a smile: "In addition, Shouyi, as the so-called capable people work hard, Da Honglu specially mentioned it to me, saying that it is the Xianbei departments, and now they all admire you very much, especially your several articles, which are highly respected, so I specially discussed it with me, and asked you to contact both sides in the past, as a bridge between the two sides, whether there is communication or not, what are your intentions?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the others immediately held their breath, they knew very well that this was nominally to receive Xianbei people, but as long as they were responsible for the liaison between the two sides and coordinated the work between Taichang and Dahonglu, it could not be limited to Xianbei, and in the end it would inevitably involve the Huns, and the relationship between Chen Zhi and the Huns would ......

From the current propaganda caliber of the imperial court, it can be seen that maybe in the end, the Xiongnu will vent the anger of Liu Yuan's death on Chen Zhi's body.

It's definitely not a good job.

But this is Chen Zhi's first errand, and it is difficult to refuse.

However, without waiting for Chen Zhi to express his position, Deng Meng said first: "I can't directly refuse the proposal that Da Honglu personally came up with, but considering that there are still some contradictions between you and the Huns, this matter is really complicated for you to deal with, I plan to let Ji Fa assist from the side, you are two of the same age, you can help each other in harmony, in addition, if you have any needs, you may as well put it forward." ”

His meaning is very clear, this matter involves a political compromise, and it is not easy for him to refuse as a superior, of course, if he really wants to block it, he can do it, it is nothing more than hurting and being angry, but for now, Chen Zhi does not have the value of letting Deng Meng hurt and be angry with a Jiuqing for him.

In terms of friendship, Deng Meng and Dahonglu Zhao Min have been ministers in the same hall for many years, and Chen Zhi is just a subordinate who has just met, and it is impossible to raise the bar for Chen Zhi and Zhao Min.

However, Deng Meng could also see that the doorway inside had fulfilled the morality of a Shangguan and was willing to help, instead of dragging his feet, in fact, he did a very decent job.

Chen Zhi also understands this, and he doesn't plan to let go of this help, when he first arrived, it was when he wanted to collect more information, and he saw a little disadvantage for that big Honglu's proposal, and he wouldn't let it go.

However, if the situation is unclear and a rash request may be counterproductive in the end, it is imperative to understand the situation first.

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Zhi had a plan, so he got up and said: "Thank you Shangguan for your kindness, it's just that my subordinates have just arrived, and they haven't even figured out their own duties, so I really don't know the key points of contacting both sides, and I don't dare to propose rashly. ”

"That's fine, I asked you to come over today, just to report this matter first, so that you can negotiate with each other, coordinate, and prepare in advance, and now this matter has also been said, talk more about this matter between you, Shouyi Since you are here, you will go to the Taile Department to take a look later, the burden on your body is very heavy, in addition to the matter of the Taile Order, you also have to take on the responsibility of the Xielu Lang and the Qing Shang Order, the Holy Father has high expectations for you, and you must not let him down."

"Subordinates remember." Chen Zhi nodded, knowing that he had passed the first round of tests.

In fact, today's incident is the main matter of Taichang Mansion, but it is also a test for Chen Zhi, otherwise he would not have been notified in advance.

From Chen Zhi walking into the main hall, from the beginning to see if he knew whether he knew advance and retreat, and then introduced colleagues, and then talked about the Xiongnu envoys, Deng Meng was observing Chen Zhi at every step, looking at his words and deeds, looking at his way of life, and more importantly, how he behaved when something unexpected happened, whether it was used to take responsibility, or recklessly agreed, or retreated and feared.

In the end, Chen Zhi's many responses were just right, which made Deng Meng quite satisfied, and only then did he verbally promise the authority of Taile Ling-

It was the last sentence that affirmed Chen Zhi's power, and in addition to Taile Ling's due, even Xielulang and Qing Shangling were given together.

Don't think that the authority of these two positions has long been tacitly led by Taile Ling, and it is natural to be able to get it, in the case of sincerity, if it is too often not allowed, even the duties of Taile Ling itself will be divided by other officials, otherwise it will not be empty for a long time.

Now, Deng Meng took the initiative to mention it, and everyone else understood that this was a recognition of Chen Zhi and at least willing to give him a chance to perform.

"Okay, if I'm here, it's not convenient for you to talk, I'll leave first, you can negotiate, and then report to me later, and that's it." After all, Deng Meng, who is too often, just like the rumors, gave full play to Huang Lao's spirit of inaction, and really left first.

The rest of the people, not surprised, were obviously accustomed to this situation, and really talked about the question just now, and exchanged opinions with each other.

Chen Zhi, as a newly appointed Taile Ling, can rank among the top few in the crowd in terms of authority on paper, but he is not familiar with his Taile Department, his position is unknown, and his qualifications are still lacking, so he decisively listens silently, does not express his opinions, and does not come forward, but takes the opportunity to observe his future colleagues, and he will spend a long time with them in the future.

In the negotiation of several people, there is still a core person, this person is Sun Jiang, as Taichang Cheng, he is already responsible for the contact and coordination between several deployments within Taichang Mansion, and this matter also controls the rhythm of the conversation.

And among them, the most active, is Taizhu Ling Wang Kong, this person is forty years old, it is the prime of life, through a few words, Chen Zhi also heard, this person is Taiyuan Wang from the family, after the famous family, with great ambitions, he obviously the Huns came to envoys, the court to sacrifice prisoners as an opportunity to make political achievements, so put forward many ideas and opinions.

However, most of them are a little radical, that is, Chen Zhi does not understand the situation of various departments, and can hear some unrealistic points, let alone other people.

It's just that Sun Jiang, who presided over the negotiation, did not directly veto, but let others express their opinions, and used the method of affirming the suggestions of others to invisibly suppress Wang Kong's opinions.

"This Sun Jiang is also a character similar to Deng Meng, acting steadily, no wonder he can become Taichang Cheng, as Deng Meng's right and left hand, he is a very suitable candidate."

Chen Zhi observed and summarized the characteristics of several people, and soon noticed Sun Jiang's temperament, and at the same time discovered that although Wang Kong put forward the most opinions, very few were really adopted, but it was Liu Guo, the Taimiao Ling.

Liu Guo is the same age as Wang Kong, but he seems calm and capable, Chen Zhi also heard that this person was born in the clan, but his ancestors have long been dilapidated, and he relied on filial piety to become an official, and then used the identity of the clan to stabilize the foundation of officialdom.

Now, several of the opinions he put forward, after several discussions, were quickly affirmed by Sun Jiang, and most of them were adopted.

At the same time, Chen Zhi also noticed a detail, that is, before Sun Jiang finalized it, he would ask the Taichang doctor Xun Jing, who had no opinion, and then confirmed with Zhu Shuang before nodding.

"This Xunjing's prestige and family background, among the officials of Taichang, should be the head, although there is not much to say, but it cannot be ignored, and there is Zhu Shuang, this person seems to be only in the record, but obviously he also has status, and Mingtang Ling Ji Fa, he doesn't say much, it can be seen that he is learning and remembering."

After a simple observation, Chen Zhi also found it interesting, this is too often among the officials, in fact, there is an ecosystem from the inside out, maintaining a certain balance.

"If I want to get things done, I can't be constrained, and it's best to be able to help, then the best choice is to integrate into this officialdom ecology and form a part of it, well, I can think about what kind of role is missing among them, and then give myself a position."

Here, Chen Zhi planned how to integrate into the small collective, and after the initial negotiation, everyone over there also had a rough plan, and then Sun Jiang looked at Chen Zhi.

"Chen Taile, I don't know what you think about this matter, you might as well talk about it, I am equivalent to the same participation."
