Chapter 023: Candidates
"Uncle Lu, how do you feel? It's hidden in your body, are you used to it? ”
Lu Zhi looked at Chen Qun and smiled slightly, and then the imperial decree in his hand disappeared: "There's nothing wrong with it, I don't know where it's hidden, anyway, as long as I want it to appear, it can appear." Nephew, it's time for you to talk to your uncle. ”
Chen Qun smiled at Lu Zhi back, then took out his Imperial Divine Decree and handed it to Lu Zhi: "Uncle Lu, please look at this." ”
Lu Zhi was surprised to take the Emperor's Divine Decree and carefully examine it, and after comparing it with his Imperial Decree, he was surprised: "Amazing! It's amazing! I didn't expect that the virtuous nephew would be recognized by the emperor at such a young age, it's incredible! Incredible! In this way, the situation in the future of this world is under the control of the virtuous nephew! ”
Hearing this, Chen Qun shook his head and got up and said, "Uncle, how is that possible?" What does the nephew use to control the situation in the world? Besides, you can't let your nephew do whatever he wants, the emperor's divine decree in your hand is constantly giving your nephew tasks. My nephew can only do his best to complete the tasks assigned by the Emperor's Divine Order, and the manpower selected by the Emperor's Decree is also to assist me in completing the tasks under the Emperor's Divine Order. ”
Lu Zhi frowned when he heard this: "I see, what else is the mission under the divine order besides suppressing the Yellow Turban Rebellion?" ”
Chen Qun thought that Lu Zhi was already his own person at this time, and said in a deep voice: "Protect the rule of the Han Dynasty." ”
Lu Zhi's eyes brightened when he heard this: "This task is good!" It's not really a mission, it's what I'm living for. ”
Chen Qun turned to look at Lu Zhi's pious face and smiled slightly: "Uncle, this task seems simple, but in fact it is very difficult to complete. Once the Taiping Dao rebellion starts, there will be many rebellious ministers and thieves in the world, and it would be good if Your Majesty was willing to listen to our advice, but Your Majesty obviously won't. Coupled with the fact that we can't reveal our identities yet, we can only help Your Majesty in secret, do you think how difficult it will be for us to complete the task? I'm really worried that if we don't complete the task, what will happen to us with the Imperial Decree in our hands? ”
Lu Zhi frowned when he heard this: "So if we can't complete the task, we will be retaliated against by the emperor's order?" ”
Chen Qun nodded: "Yes!" Last time, the task given to me by the Emperor's Divine Decree was to sabotage the Taiping Dao Rebellion in the Jingshi area, because I successfully rebelled against the Tang Zhou, and the Emperor's Divine Decree rewarded me with three Imperial Decrees, but the new task is to defeat the Taiping Dao rebellion. That's why my nephew remembered you, so he wanted to take your uncle and you together. ”
Lu Zhi nodded: "I understand!" I see. But virtuous nephew, you have the secret of the Emperor's Divine Decree, and you must not let any outsiders know about it, and our identity must also be kept secret, that nursery rhyme is too powerful! Once the identity of any of us is revealed, neither His Majesty's side nor our enemies will let us go easily. ”
Chen Qun took the imperial decree handed over by Lu Zhi and said in a deep voice: "Of course this nephew knows very well. The nephew is very grateful to Uncle Lu for his help. By the way, uncle, we can also send messages between the imperial decrees we have. ”
Then, Chen Qunbian told Lu Zhi how to transmit the message between the Emperor's Decree and the Emperor's Divine Decree, and Lu Zhi sighed after trying a few times: "Incredible! It's incredible! Rest assured, since your uncle has accepted the mission of the Emperor's Decree, Uncle will do his best to help you complete the task assigned by the Divine Decree. ”
Chen Qun was very happy with Lu Zhi's solemn promise: "Haha, uncle, you can rest assured that you promise nephew!" Uncle, I'm afraid that you alone will not be able to defeat the next rebellion of Taiping Dao, I still have two imperial decrees, we can also find two more helpers, which two people do you think are suitable? ”
Hearing this, Lu Zhi sat down on the chair behind him, and then frowned and pondered while holding his beard with his right hand.
After a while, Lu Zhi squinted his eyes and said, "There are really a lot of candidates for this, but we only need two places, which is difficult to decide." We must not only think about the tasks at hand, but also the tasks of the future. ”
Hearing this, Chen Qun nodded and said, "Uncle, we don't have to think about the long-term first, let's think about how to complete the current task first." I believe that as long as we complete the task of suppressing the Taiping Dao rebellion, the Divine Decree will definitely reward a few more sub-orders, so that we can choose more people. If you can't complete the task at hand, it's hard to say. ”
Lu Zhi bowed slightly when he heard this: "Since this is the case, then choose Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, they have always been good friends with me, and they are upright, very capable, and have high prestige in the military, if they help each other, I believe we will be able to complete the task of suppressing the Taiping Dao rebellion." ”
Chen Qun was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay! Uncle Lu's recommended candidate for his nephew was very satisfied. ”
Lu Zhi looked at Chen Qun and shook his head slightly: "Virtuous nephew, although Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are both good at fighting, if we all choose the generals who lead the army, then there will be no one in the court to speak for us." If something happens, we can't deal with it in advance. ”
Chen Qun nodded when he heard this: "What my uncle said is reasonable, I don't know who you think is suitable for the ministers of the court?" ”
Lu Zhi didn't think about it when he heard this, so he said: "Zhang Jun in the service, Liu Tao in the consultation, and Zhang Ting, the captain." ”
Chen Qun couldn't help but be confused when he heard this, he was not familiar with these three people at all, and it could be said that he had almost never heard of them. Lu Zhi looked at Chen Qun's confused expression and said with a smile: "These three people are all known for their integrity in the court, and their character and official character are absolutely fine. It's a pity that we don't have enough imperial orders now, otherwise with the three of them helping each other in the court, plus the three of us dealing with the possible Taiping Dao rebellion, it would be really nine out of ten. ”
Chen Qun nodded when he heard this: "Uncle, my nephew still thinks that your previous choice is good. Wait until we have finished suppressing the Taiping Dao rebellion, and then we will look at the rewards and decide who to choose as our assistant. ”
Lu Zhi nodded: "That's right!" There is no such thing as absolute certainty in this world. It's satisfying to be able to do things with two of my old friends. ”
Chen Qun looked at Lu Zhihuan's expression and smiled slightly: "Uncle, the matter of contacting the two uncles Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun has to be handled by you personally, and the nephew and they don't know each other." ”
Lu Zhi nodded: "You can rest assured!" It was their honor to be chosen as servants of the Emperor's Order! It's too late for them to rejoice. You give me the two imperial orders, and after I take them all, let's discuss how to complete the task together. ”
Chen Qun nodded, then took out two imperial decrees and handed them to Huangfu Song: "Uncle, you must not leak my news until they have a drop of blood to recognize the Lord." ”
"You don't have to explain this! I know! Virtuous nephew, then you will rest in the cold house first, and I will go to see my two friends separately. Lu Zhi stood up and said.
Chen Qun nodded, and Lu Zhi put away the two imperial orders, and then opened the door.
As soon as Lu Zhi opened the door, he saw the housekeeper running all the way: "Master of the family, your student Xuande Gong greets." ”
Lu Zhi nodded when he heard this: "Okay!" ”
After Lu Zhi finished speaking, he went to the gate of the Lu Mansion with the housekeeper.
"Student Liu Bei meets his teacher!" When Liu Bei saw Lu Zhi, he immediately bowed down and hugged his fists.
Lu Zhi nodded: "Xuande! You came by accident, and you need to go out immediately if you have something important to do with your teacher, so you are waiting at home for your teacher to return. It just so happens that there is a little friend in the teacher's family, and you take good care of him as the teacher. ”
"Teacher, please get busy! Students obey! Hearing this, Liu Bei hurriedly bowed down and hugged his fists, he was very curious about who the person who was called Xiaoyou by Lu Zhi was.
Lu Zhi smiled at Liu Bei and then left the house.
Liu Bei watched Lu Zhi's back disappear and then hugged his fist at the housekeeper and said, "Fu Bo, dare to ask who the little friend the teacher is talking about?" ”
Liu Bei was obviously very familiar with Lu Zhi's housekeeper, so he directly said the housekeeper's name. Fu Bo looked at the kind Liu Bei and said with a smile: "It's Chen Qun, the young master of the Yingchuan Chen family, Chen Changwen." ”
Hearing this, Liu Bei looked at Fu Bo with bright eyes: "But that Chen Changwen who persuaded Tang Zhou to rebel against the Taiping Dao?" ”
Fauber nodded: "Yes, that's him." ”
Liu Bei then saluted Fu Bo again, and then quickly entered the Lu Mansion.
After Chen Qun heard the conversation between Lu Zhi and the housekeeper, he knew that Liu Bei was coming, and he couldn't help but feel that he was so lucky to be able to meet Liu Bei, the founding emperor of Shu Han in history, so early. But Chen Qun was also very hesitant, he didn't know what to say to Liu Bei, because at this time his purpose seemed to be the same as Liu Bei, but in fact there was an essential difference, because he knew that his path was definitely not consistent with Liu Bei, so Chen Qun was a little confused, and Chen Qun began to think about all aspects of Liu Bei in history.
Chen Qunzheng was out of his mind when he heard someone knocking on the door, so he opened the door and saw the young Liu Bei, who was a little excessive.
"In Xia Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, I have seen Yingchuan Chen Changwen. Lu Zhi is the mentor of the next. Liu Bei hugged his fists and saluted as soon as he saw Chen Qun.
Chen Qun also hurriedly returned the salute: "It turned out to be Brother Xuande!" I've seen Brother Xuande, Brother Xuande, please come in. ”
After Liu Bei entered Lu Zhi's mansion, he immediately turned against the guest, he took the initiative to beckon Chen Qun to sit down, added a piece of charcoal to the stove in the room, and looked at Chen Qun and smiled: "The name of Changwen is like thunder now!" Although Bei Changwen is a few years old, compared with the big things that Changwen has done, Bei is simply ashamed of himself! Changwen must not have heard of me, right? ”
When Chen Qun saw Liu Bei coming up, he played the emotional card, and immediately admired Liu Bei: Liu Bei should have this talent, otherwise how could he pinch people's emotions so well.
Although Chen Qun thought so in his heart, he still looked at Liu Bei's eyes and smiled: "The name of Xuande Gong is like thunder, how can I not hear it?" Uncle Lu has praised Xuande Gong many times in front of his younger brother! Uncle Lu recognized Xuan Degong's ability very much. ”
Liu Bei immediately rejoiced when he heard this: "That's it! Alas! I really failed to live up to my teacher's weight and expectations. ”
Chen Qun looked at the sad Liu Bei and shook his head slightly: "Brother Xuande, although you don't have any achievements now, you may not have anything in the future!" Xuande's eldest brother is Xuanyu, and at first glance he is the dragon and phoenix among people, and he will definitely achieve a great cause one day. ”
Liu Bei smiled and shook his head when he heard this: "The long article is really ridiculous!" If a person can achieve a great cause, he will show his grandeur early, and you see how poor I am now, where will I achieve a great cause. ”
Chen Qun smiled slightly: "That's not necessarily!" Brother Xuande, we are now acquaintances, do you think we can put our hearts into it? ”
Chen Qun said this in fact, he was planning to befriend Liu Bei, no matter what the task given to him by the emperor's divine order in the future, Chen Qun thought that it would not be wrong to befriend Liu Bei.
