Two days later, in the early morning, Chen Yu found Chen Qun, and his father Chen Ji was also in the room. Seeing Chen Qun's arrival, Chen Yu said with a straight face: "I have already told Li Taishou that there will be a team of soldiers to escort your father and son to Luoyang in a while, you hurry up and pack up, and when the guards arrive, they will finish breakfast together and set off." ”

Hearing this, Chen Qun hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Yes, grandpa, thank you!" ”

Chen Yu nodded: "Go and prepare." ”

Chen Qun then left with Chen Ji.

Soon, a lieutenant with ten soldiers all rode to the outside of the Chen Mansion, and Chen Ji and Chen Qun welcomed everyone into the Chen Mansion and had breakfast with the guards.

"Thank you, brothers, escorting my son and my grandson to Luoyang!" Chen Yu got up and hugged his fists after everyone had finished breakfast.

"The Chen family master is polite! It's not enough to worry about small things! The leading lieutenant stood up and hugged his fists.

Hearing this, Chen Yu smiled at the school captain, and then took out five pieces of money and handed it to the school captain: "Lord school captain, thank you for your hard work!" I hope you will take a lot of trouble on the road! ”

After taking the money, the lieutenant turned around and handed it to a brother behind him, and then hugged his fist at Chen Yu and said, "The master of the Chen family is polite!" It is a blessing for our brothers to be able to receive such a beautiful difference, how dare we say that it is hard. If there is nothing else, we might as well set off now and try to get to Luoyang before dark. ”

"Good! Get on your way! Chen Yu hugged his fists.

The lieutenant saluted Chen Yu with a fist, and then turned around and left with the ten brothers behind him, Chen Ji and Chen Qun also bowed to Chen Yu and turned to leave.

Chen Ji and Chen Qun came to the door of Chen's house, and Chen Qun's mother was already waiting with a prepared package. Chen Qun took the package from his mother, then took the initiative to hug his mother before turning to get on the horse.

In order to prepare for going to Luoyang in the past two days, Chen Qun has been practicing riding in private for two days, but fortunately, Chen Qun himself was a good horseback rider before, and Chen Qun practiced for two days before recovering the previous riding skills of this body.

After Chen Ji said goodbye to his wife, he also rode a fast horse alone, and then a group of thirteen rode towards the west gate of Yangzhai City. After leaving Yangzhai City, everyone continued to gallop northwest along the road.

After Chen Qun rode with everyone for an hour, he was already far away from Yangzhai City, he looked at the wild grass on both sides of the road that was more than one person high, and always felt panicked, although it was broad daylight at this time, Chen Qun was really worried that a group of robbers would suddenly appear on both sides of the road: "Father, why is this place so desolate?" ”

"Hahaha......!" The guards burst out laughing.

The captain who led the way slowed down his horse when he heard the sound, came to Chen Qun's side and said with a smile: "Young Master Changwen, it's your first time going far away, right?" ”

Chen Qun looked at the captain and nodded: "Yes, big brother captain!" I feel like it's been a really desolate journey. ”

The lieutenant nodded: "Yes, Young Master Chen may not know something, we are walking on the official road now." In recent years, officials in various places have been expropriating and expropriating, and the above have not paid attention to these things, so many people have been overwhelmed, or have left the country, or have died tragically. This led to the barrenness of the fertile fields on both sides of the pipeline. ”

Chen Qun was shocked when he heard this: "I didn't expect the situation to be so serious!" Don't Taishou and Lord Assassin Shi care about the lives of the people? ”

Hearing this, the captain sneered: "Young Master Chen, you think too much!" Taishou and Lord Thorn Shi only consider the needs of those big families, and as for the life and death of the people, they don't bother to care! As long as the family is well, everything will be fine. ”

Chen Ji heard the words and continued: "Changwen, don't be sad!" It's useless for you to be sad. Although all we see is desolation, the land that belongs to the family without official roads has all been reclaimed into fertile land. Otherwise, if all the fields are desolate like this, what will we eat? ”

Chen Qun nodded when he heard this, he finally understood: under the feudal social system, although the family occupied a lot of land, they could make effective use of the land, and they had the ability to protect the crops on these lands from being destroyed, so they ensured the supply of materials. This is also why the influence of the family on the state apparatus is so great! The more troubled the times, the greater the influence!

Chen Qun learned something deeper from his father's words, but he didn't say much, but smiled at his father: "I understand! Thank you, father, for your doubts! I think that the fields on both sides of the official road are easy to be robbed, so no one cultivates them. ”

Chen Ji said with a straight face when he heard this: "You understand it right, it's not right!" If the people can live and work in peace and contentment in their hometowns, who wants to be outcasts and who wants to be thieves? ”

Hearing this, the lieutenant smiled and said, "Lord Chen has seen it thoroughly!" If we don't solve the problem at the root, all the restraints will be in vain! It's a pity that we are soft-spoken, even if we have the heart to stand up for the people, we won't listen, I hope that Lord Chen can think more about the people in the future. ”

Chen Ji sighed when he heard this: "The general thinks too much, and Chen is also willing but powerless!" Now that the ten permanent servants in the court are in control of power, and their relatives are promoted and reused without restraint, and the officialdom has become dirty, what can Chen do? ”

When Chen Qun heard this, he wanted to make his own remarks about overthrowing the rule of the Han Dynasty, but he thought of the task given to him by the emperor's divine decree and smiled: "Father, the child thinks that you should join the court as an official, unite those in the court who are still willing to contribute to the country to help the Han Dynasty, and should not blindly escape, if all the people with lofty ideals choose you like this, then the Han Dynasty will be gone a long time ago!" Since the Han Dynasty is still there, it means that it is only terminally ill, and it has not collapsed. Maybe you can turn the tide! ”

Hearing this, the school captain looked at Chen Qun with his eyes spared, and then said to Chen Ji: "Lord Chen, congratulations!" I didn't expect your son to be so knowledgeable! There are such young people in the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty is saved! ”

Chen Ji shook his head slightly on the horse: "Changwen, he thinks too idealistic!" If the Han Dynasty does not carry out a thorough change, it will be difficult to be saved! Maybe in your eyes, I still have some ability, but in the eyes of those people in the court, I am a thorn in their side, and they can't wait to get rid of me! Don't forget, I'm still wearing sin. ”

When they heard this, they stopped talking, but rode forward silently. Chen Qun didn't speak again, he knew very well what Chen Ji was talking about: Chen Ji was still a victim of party struggle.

At noon, Chen Qun and his entourage entered the Yangcheng Post Station, and then set off again after eating and drinking inside. At this time, they had already entered the territory of Si Li, and they had walked more than half of the distance, but despite this, everyone was still in a hurry.

After half an hour of walking from Yangcheng Station, Chen Qun saw that there were many ragged people on the road slowly moving forward, most of them were yellow and thin, and they were staggering one by one with their bodies staggered. Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, the people looked back one by one, and quickly moved out of the way, dodging in the grass on both sides of the road.

"Long text, don't be overflowing with compassion! Let's go! Chen Ji saw that Chen Qun was about to stop on the horse, and hurriedly stepped forward to urge.

Chen Qun ignored his father's words, but directly stationed on his horse, turned over from his horse and looked at these poor victims, but he soon found that the eyes of these victims were wrong, and several of them squinted at him one by one.

Seeing this, the captain behind Chen Qun shouted: "Be bold and unruly, don't be presumptuous!" If you want to die, try it. ”

Several young men who looked at Chen Qun lowered their heads when they heard this, and no longer looked at Chen Qun. Chen Qun originally planned to help these victims, but when he saw the hatred in the eyes of the victims, he knew that even if he helped them, these people would not be grateful, because hatred had penetrated deep into their bone marrow! He understood the psychology of the victims, which was not only hatred of the officials and soldiers, but also hatred of the rich.

Seeing this, Chen Qun shook his head slightly, smiled at the man in front of him, then turned around and took a few steps forward, then stomped on the ground with his feet and jumped on the horse. Then he rode away at a gallop.

After catching up with Chen Qun, the captain smiled and said, "Young Master, why did you give up helping them just now?" ”

Chen Qun said with a straight face when he heard this: "Look at their expressions, even if I help them, will they be grateful?" ”

The captain smiled and said, "The young master doesn't know, in fact, it was very dangerous just now!" If it weren't for the fact that there were more of us than them, those victims would have already done it! And I can see that the skills of those victims should not be weak! They are supposed to be people with ulterior motives hiding among the victims. ”

Chen Ji frowned when he heard this: "I can see it too!" Changwen, just now I almost brought disaster to everyone because of your kindness, you must not do this in the future! If the brothers really have a three-strong and two-short because they escorted us, you will be a sinner! ”

Chen Qun nodded and replied loudly: "Knowing my father, this trip to Luoyang has shocked me a lot, so let's hurry up and rush to Luoyang!" ”

After Chen Qun finished speaking, everyone pulled their horses forward again, but the captain and the ten brothers behind him all looked at Chen Qun's back in astonishment, because Chen Qun gave them the feeling that they were making too fast progress! And they could hear from the conversation between Chen Qun and his father that Chen Qun would never make the same mistake again in the future!

What a powerful Chen Changwen! It's an amazement in everyone's hearts! Including Chen Qun's father, Chen Ji.
