Chapter 063: Nangong Fire
Chen Qun took Huang Zhong's family of three and the guards back to Jingzhou Restaurant before dark, Chen Qun ordered Chen Zhong to send the cook to make noodle soup and liquid food, and then personally fed Mrs. Huang to drink, and gave Xiao Huang Xu warm goat's milk, and gave Huang Zhong a few delicacies he had newly invented.
After tasting the food in Chen Qun's shop, Huang Zhong praised: "Changwen, where did you learn these fresh ways to eat?" It's so delicious! How much money do you have to make in the future? ”
Chen Qun was overjoyed when he heard this: "The master thinks it's delicious!" Truth be told, the apprentice will soon have such a restaurant in every county of the Han Dynasty, and now the apprentice's other master Zhao Yun, as well as three righteous brothers and others are helping the apprentice to build a restaurant, if he is free in the future, the apprentice will take the master and his younger brother Huang Xu to visit the entire Han Dynasty together, we can eat and live in our restaurant wherever we go. ”
Huang Zhong smiled after listening to Chen Qun's words: "Changwen, since Weishi entered the restaurant and saw so many people in the restaurant in pairs, Weishi has already believed what those guards said. Now that I have eaten such a good meal for the teacher, and I understand your generous plan for the world, I believe that you will definitely have the ability to make these people live well in the future, and we don't have to worry about going to Shaomu Mountain, we will go back after you finish the things here, and we are not in a hurry at this time. Being a teacher can't disrupt your plans. ”
Chen Qun listened to Huang Zhong as a teacher one by one, and looked at Huang Zhong with a smile on his face and said, "Master, are you finally willing to accept apprentices?" ”
Huang Zhong nodded: "There are really not many pragmatic children of a family like you, I believe that I can help more poor people with you in the future, you are much stronger than that horn!" As a teacher, you naturally want to help you do things! As a teacher, I am also willing to help people like you who are both capable and willing to help the poor. ”
After listening to Huang Zhong's words, Chen Qun's eyes moistened with emotion: "Master, thank you for your affirmation of the apprentice!" But the apprentice is not as capable as you say! Seeing the decline of the Han Dynasty, he wanted to revive the Han Dynasty, but the more he did it, the more powerless he felt! Because people with the ability like you live in such a difficult way, ordinary people, I really don't know how they live? And the ability of the apprentice is limited after all, and he can't save so many ordinary people! Master, do you understand the contradiction in the hearts of the apprentices? ”
Huang Zhong looked at Chen Qun, who was revealing his true feelings, and said in a deep voice: "Good apprentice! The master didn't expect you to be young and a person with the world in mind, the master used to be really blind! Don't worry, the master will accompany you to realize your dreams in the future, you just need to do your best, don't care what the result is, at least you do your best, you won't regret it! As for the Zhongxing Han Dynasty, it's not for the division to hit you, it's really a little late now!
If Your Majesty can recognize the crisis from now on, reuse you, and trust you unconditionally, maybe the Zhongxing Dahan you said can still be realized, but it is obviously impossible! Without getting close to you, people who know what you have done will not support you, let alone Your Majesty! Previously, you rebelled against Tang Zhou and made such a great contribution to the imperial court, and Your Majesty did not value you, so it can be seen to what extent Your Majesty has been mediocre?
Listen to the teacher's advice, just do your best, and don't care about the result! Do what you think is right, and the rest doesn't care what others say, just have a clear conscience! ”
Chen Qun nodded thoughtfully when he heard this, he felt that he had become much brighter in an instant after Huang Zhong's enlightenment! Yes, for the task given to him by the emperor's divine decree to maintain the rule of the Han Dynasty, he only needs to do his best, and he doesn't care what the result is! If you are afraid of failure and are timid, then you have really betrayed the trust of the emperor's divine order! I can't help but be reborn!
After Chen Qun's heart cleared, he immediately raised a glass of wine and smiled at Huang Zhong and said, "Master, thank you for your persuasion to the apprentice!" Thank you for agreeing to help you in the future, thank you! ”
After Chen Qun finished speaking, he drank it all, but he forgot that he didn't know how to drink, after a glass of wine, Chen Qun was directly choked and coughed again and again, and soon, his face became red, and he was directly helped down by Chen Zhong to rest.
After Chen Qun left, Huang Zhong sighed as he looked at the dishes on the table, and then ate all the dishes.
Early the next morning, Chen Qun still got up on time, and then began to practice martial arts in the courtyard after a little cleaning.
Huang Zhong nodded after watching Chen Qun's drill a few times on the side: "Changwen, your master is not simple, this set of light martial arts tricks he handed over to you is very suitable for you to learn, you just need to practice diligently at this stage, and you don't need to learn other martial arts." ”
Hearing this, Chen Qun hugged his fists and said, "Okay master, since you also agree with me to practice like this, then it must be right!" ”
Huang Zhong nodded, and then began to practice martial arts, but Chen Qun couldn't understand the number of his martial arts practice at all, and it looked slow, as if he was playing Tai Chi but it wasn't.
In this way, Chen Qun and Huang Zhong's family stayed in Jingzhou for five days, until the night of the second day of the second month of February, Lu Zhi hurriedly contacted Chen Qun: "Changwen, something is wrong!" There was a fire in the palace, and the south palace was all burned! Do you think this is a sign of something? Why did a fire break out in the Emperor's Palace at the beginning of February? ”
Chen Qun shook his head slightly when he heard this: "Uncle, don't panic, since the fire has happened, then we will face it correctly, no matter what the reason is for the fire, we don't need to find out for the time being, uncle, let's hang up first, I will contact everyone, and we will discuss how we should deal with it next." ”
After Chen Qun hung up with Lu Zhi, he directly pressed the red button and instantly sent a call request to all six imperial envoys. Soon, all six messengers were connected. Chen Qun told everyone the news that there was a fire in the palace and the fire in the south palace, and asked everyone to analyze what would happen next? How they should respond.
After Chen Qun finished speaking, all six of them fell into deep thought.
A quarter of an hour later, the youngest Zhang Yan said in a deep voice: "Changwen, I think this fire should have been lit by someone with a heart, after the fire, if the Nangong is completely burned down, His Majesty will most likely order the restoration of the Nangong, and if you want to repair the Nangong, you must collect all kinds of building materials, such as golden silk nanmu." This will inevitably trigger local officials to take advantage of the opportunity to seize the opportunity again, if this is the case, then the Han Dynasty is in danger! It can be said that this fire has sprinkled salt on the wounds of the stormy man! The consequences are very serious. ”
Huangfu Song continued: "Long text, Gongwei is very right in his analysis! The next thing we have to do is to persuade His Majesty to dispel the idea of rebuilding the South Palace, and those who refute our advice are most likely the ones who caused this fire. These are the dissidents that we need to eliminate as soon as possible in the future. ”
After Huangfu Song finished speaking, Chen Tan nodded and said: "What Gongwei and Yizhen said is reasonable, then tomorrow morning, I will propose to Your Majesty to abandon the construction of the South Palace on the grounds that the Yellow Turban Rebellion has just been quelled and the people are living in hardship." ”
Zhang Yan and Liu Tao continued: "Lord Situ, please rest assured, the two of us will definitely fully support Lord Situ's proposal in the court. ”
Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun also said: "In order to ensure that things must succeed, we will also go to court tomorrow morning." ”
Huangfu Song did not speak at this time in Jizhou.
After the matter was decided like this, Chen Qun had no intention of taking it in Xiangyang City again, and after dawn, Chen Qun took the guards and Huang Zhong's family to Shaomu Mountain City.
Huang Zhong's wife has been carefully adjusted and recuperated in Xiangyang City in the past few days, although her body and bones have not recovered, she is no longer as weak as before, and she can get out of bed and walk. Chen Qun should feel fortunate that Huang Zhong's wife in history died shortly after giving birth to her son Huang Xu, and Huang Xu also fell seriously ill because he couldn't eat enough. In the end, Huang Zhong sought medical treatment in many ways but could not be saved. Now because of his timely rescue, the lives of Mrs. Huang and Huang Xu have been saved.
Chen Qun and his entourage on the way to Shaomu Mountain, the early dynasty of Luoyang Palace began, all the ministers found that there were a lot of people in the early dynasty today, and many officials who did not need to go to the early dynasty came, of course, everyone knew why, looking at the Nangong that was still smoking in the distance, all the ministers felt that today's early dynasty was full of gunsmoke.
After the early dynasty began, Zhao Zhong took the lead in reporting to Emperor Ling that the South Palace had been completely burned down last night, and proposed that Emperor Ling prepare for the restoration of the South Palace.
Before Emperor Ling could nod, Situ Chen Tan stood up and said loudly: "Not Your Majesty!" The Yellow Turban Rebellion had just been quelled a few years ago, and the people everywhere were struggling to make a living. ”
The servant Zhang Yan then stood up and said: "Your Majesty, what Lord Situ said is true, and I hope that Your Majesty will consider the people of the world more." ”
Zhang Rang then said in a deep voice: "What do you mean? There was a fire in the palace, the South Palace was burned down, and it was pitch black everywhere, did you just watch the burned South Palace keep it there? What is the face of His Majesty? ”
Jing Zhao Yin Liu Tao stood up and hugged his fists and replied: "Lord Zhang, do you think Your Majesty's face is important?" Or is it more important for me to have a stable country? If you let those people with ulterior motives take advantage of the opportunity to make plans for the sake of face, the gains outweigh the losses! I hope Your Majesty thinks twice! ”
Seeing this, the ministers stood up and expressed their opinions, but because Chen Tan, Zhang Yan and Liu Tao came forward to fight against the ten permanent servants, many ministers said that the restoration of Nangong should be postponed.
Seeing this, the Spirit Emperor said in a deep voice: "Okay! Zhong Aiqing's proposal is clear, I know that you are all thinking about the Jiangshan Society of the Han Dynasty, but the burning of Nangong is a matter of the face of the Son of Heaven, and sooner or later it will be repaired! In view of the fact that what Lord Situ and Aiqing said is also true, then postpone the restoration of Nangong. ”
After Emperor Ling made a decision, the courtiers no longer expressed their opinions, and then Chen Tan hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the Yellow Turban Rebellion has been wiped out a year ago, but the reward for the meritorious ministers who exterminated the Yellow Turban Rebellion has not been in place for a long time. ”
Emperor Ling directly adopted Chen Tan's proposal, and rewarded Zhu Jun on the spot as the general of the right chariot cavalry, and Huangfu Song was the same chariot general on the left and on the right, plus the assistance of the servant Zhang Yan, it can be said that Chen Qun's power controlled all the armies of the Han Dynasty and emptied the military power of the Taiwei.
Emperor Ling's reward for Zhu Jun made Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong have a great sense of crisis at the same time, both of them felt that if they no longer took action, they would definitely be seized by Chen Tan, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun and others, so the two did not say anything on the spot, but acquiesced in Emperor Ling's reward, and both of them were wondering what is the relationship between this Situ Chen Tan, the left and right car generals, the servant Zhang Yan, and Jingzhao Yin Liu Tao at this time? It can be said that if these three people had not joined forces to stir up the situation in the court today, then their plot would have succeeded! Both of them felt a lot of pressure at this time, and they were thinking about how to explain to the adults behind them, after all, they had failed in this matter.
After going down, Chen Tan and his entourage hurried back to their homes and did not delay much on the road. And Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong immediately gathered the ten permanent servants and began to secretly discuss countermeasures.
